Reincarnated As The murderer's Wife

Plotting

Sophie

I woke up the following day in bed, knowing that it was Theo who had transferred me there without needing a prophet's insight.

I surveyed the room with my eyes, searching for him, and soon spotted him sleeping on the couch. I couldn't believe that he had actually slept there for her sake. Did Prince Theo truly love his wife this deeply?

I got out of bed, attempting to leave the room unnoticed, but I accidentally stepped on a banana peel and slipped. The noise of my fall startled Prince Theo awake.

He was met with the sight of me sitting on the floor, visibly in pain. He quickly stood up and rushed to my aid. He carried me in a bridal style back to bed and gently placed me there.

"My knee," I whimpered, having bruised it during the fall. The intensity of the pain surprised me. In my past life as Sophie, a bruise meant nothing. Even sprains didn't hinder my work. But Ivory's body wasn't accustomed to pain, as everything was handed to her on a silver platter.

"Don't worry, hon. I'll reprimand those incompetent maids for not cleaning the room," Prince Theo promised, prompting me to wonder why they always blamed the maids for everything.

"It's fine, just a bruised knee. I can still walk," I assured him, attempting to stand, only to stumble and fall back on my bottom. Theo assisted me back onto the bed and fetched some disinfectant for the bruise, covering it with a bandage.

"Be more careful next time. You could have seriously injured yourself," he scolded, while I watched in astonishment.

I still wasn't accustomed to Prince Theo's kindness and gentleness. In my previous life, he would yell at me, hit me, and ultimately even kill me.

Snapping out of my daze, I remembered that he had murdered me, and I was there for revenge against him and his family.

"Stay away from me!" I snapped, pushing him away, causing him to stumble and fall. I caught a glimpse of sadness in his eyes, but couldn't care less. This man had callously shot me in the head, showing no remorse, and even now he didn't act as if he had just murdered someone the previous day.

He got up, offering me a sad smile before leaving. "I'm going to make his life a living nightmare," I muttered, clutching the duvet tightly.

I attempted to stand again, succeeding this time, and limped out of the room, making my way down the stairs. I reached the dining table, which had been set by the maids.

The table was adorned with an array of delicacies from various countries. There was so much food that I thought they were hosting a party. "The amount of food on this table could feed a small town," I muttered in shock.

Several maids emerged from the kitchen, placing more food on the table. They bowed before me and informed me that breakfast was served. "Is all this for me?" I asked, my eyes widening.

"Yes, ma'am. Prince Theo ordered that you be provided with the finest delicacies from around the world," the head maid replied. I questioned why Theo would have made such a request.

"Don't worry about that, ma'am. Just eat to your heart's content, and the rest will be disposed of appropriately," I frowned at the maid's words, thinking of all the people in the world who were starving.

"You know what? How about we all eat together?" I suggested. The maids stared at me in confusion, as Ivory had never before invited them to join her. In the past, she would rather throw the leftovers away than offer them to the maids.

"We can't do that, ma'am. It wouldn't be proper," the head maid quickly declined the offer. "But I insist. Are you going to disobey me?" I asked, crossing my arms and tapping my foot on the floor.

The maids realized they couldn't refuse me anymore, so they reluctantly agreed and sat down. I joined them at the table, and they all enjoyed the food together. The maids devoured their meals like famished creatures, having not had a proper meal in a long time.

After breakfast, I returned to her room and picked up a book to pass the time and alleviate my boredom. As I read, I began devising my plan to exact revenge on the Silver family for all they had done to me.

My intention was to dismantle their most prized possession which was the throne. As Theo's wife, I also held a position in the kingdom's management, which granted me the opportunity to wreak havoc on the family.

I planned to gather sufficient intelligence on the family, then feign the return of my memories, convincing them to let me resume her role overseeing the kingdom's affairs.

While in the midst of plotting my revenge plan, a knock came at the door. Setting aside the book I had been reading, I went to see who it was. To my delight, it was Harmony, my best friend from my previous life as Sophie. We had both started working together at the Silver mansion on the same day and had endured torment from the Silver family.

" Prince Theo asked me to take you on a stroll around the house, so you can become more familiar with your surroundings," Harmony said, keeping her head bowed, avoiding my gaze.

I felt a pang of guilt, seeing my best friend from the past now frightened of her. However, I knew that I couldn't reveal my true identity as Sophie. Who would believe my story about meeting the reincarnation goddess?

I agreed to take a walk with Harmony, as i missed her best friend company and wanted to spend some quality time together, even if it was in my intimidating boss persona.

We wandered through the palace, eventually reaching the main entrance, when the doorbell rang. I decided to see who was at the door and, upon opening it, came face to face with a woman who seemed furious. Before I could say anything, the woman slapped me across the face.
