A Woman That is Dania (4)
Everything that was supposed to be mine has been taken away.
I couldn’t forgive Diaz for enjoying a good life by marrying me.
So, I thought I would take it back.
It would be best if that meddling man disappeared!
I pretended that the man who had a chronic illness succumbed to his illness, poisoned him with medicine, and prepared a fake will.
After my Father passed away, I also mixed medicine for my bothersome mother.
I manipulated her to obey me.
I made her drink a drug to become aggressive and influenced her not to support Diaz.
However, I was in the position of a wife.
So, to reclaim the Ranford family, a son was necessary to inherit it.
But...
There was an annoying obstacle in the way.
It was Marie.
Despite being my daughter, she was an unattractive woman.
Serious, fond of studying, and resembling Diaz.
So, I treated her harshly to taunt her.
In the future, it would be suitable to marry her off as a mistress to a wealthy noble.
She wouldn't be allowed in a place where the sun shines.
One of the reasons I couldn't love Marie was that she was loved by my Father and resembled Diaz.
But Marie was liked by the commoners and even by the nobles of the neighboring territory.
I, on the other hand, received cold treatment.
Then, Diaz did something unnecessary.
He enrolled Marie in school.
She made it as a scholarship student.
Even though I thought she wouldn't pass, Marie passed on the first attempt.
"Mother, why did Marie pass? It's impossible."
"Yes, it's strange."
The excellent Shepherd was on the waiting list, yet Marie became a scholarship student.
Moreover, she became the representative of the new students.
Shepherd was at risk of repeating a year and facing expulsion.
As if to get on my nerves, Marie was praised in the Capital and stopped coming home during the long breaks.
And so did Diaz.
"I heard about Lord Diaz."
"Yes, he succeeded in a new business venture."
"He's truly outstanding. On the other hand, the Lady of the house..."
"Really, it's like night and day."
Diaz was flying around and making a name for himself outside the territory.
While Marie was being praised in the Capital.
Every time they succeeded, a feeling of disgust overwhelmed me.
Those incompetent two, being praised, it's absurd.
After my Father's death, our house temporarily faltered, and my Mother, suffering mentally, became submissive to me.
I thought of using this opportunity to drive Diaz away.
But everyone around appreciated Diaz, so I directed my anger towards Marie.
However, Marie, upon graduating from the academy, declared that she would marry a commoner.
Of course, I couldn't allow it.
But Diaz gave his approval, and considering their wealth, I thought they would provide support.
However—
"My Mother's wealth is hers. I've refused monetary assistance since the moment I became a son-in-law in this house."
"What?"
This insolent Henry never followed my orders.
The root of everything was that man becoming Marie's husband.
Diaz, who was just for show, accepted Henry as a son-in-law.
So, I thought of driving the two of them out.
I wished they would just die.
But...
"Why is it only me!"
"Quit whining! Do your job properly!"
I shouldn't be allowed to suffer like this!
Every day, forced to labor, confined in a cramped space.
Little did I know, there were even worse nightmares waiting.
