Chapter 1 I Deserve a Miserable Death

In Brussels, there was a desolate town.

Rose was bound by chains to a chair in a dimly lit dungeon. There were countless welts and knife

wounds that littered her body. Wren Terry had already used every punishment one could imagine on

her. He subjected her to endless torment, though refusing to let her die.

Now, Wren looked at her and mocked, “I bet the famous Rose, or Ace Killer, would never imagine

herself in a situation like this.”

Then, Wren picked up the dagger from the table and, with a single strike, damaged the tendon in

Rose’s right hand.

“Ah!” Rose screamed, gasping for air as she spoke in broken sentences. “Why? Why… are you doing

this?”

“It’s because you’re just a lowly person! A pawn of Rodger Group, no less! Seth is mine! This is what

you get for trying to seduce my man!”

Wren fiercely stabbed the dagger into Rose’s thigh and twisted it forcefully. In an instant, Rose’s

thigh became mangled.

“Let me tell you that Seth and I will be engaged soon. Your influence on the confidants in Rodger

Group will be completely eradicated by me. You’re just a nameless orphan that someone picked up off

the streets. Nobody will remember who you are!” Wren said viciously.

“No way! Seth wouldn’t allow this to happen!” Rose said, shaking her head.

Wren’s subordinate threw a teenage boy into the dungeon. It was Mike Cook, who Rose had raised

single-handedly. Wren fired a shot at the boy’s leg, and Rose screamed, “No! No! Please spare

him!”

“Kneel down! Kneel and beg me!” Wren demanded.

With a thud, Rose knelt on the ground and begged, “Ms. Terry, I’m sorry for being delusional. I’m not

worthy of Mr. Rodgers! Please spare my younger brother!”

Wren chortled before moving on.

Right after that, a gunshot pierced through Mike’s head.

“No! Wren! I want to kill you! I want to kill you so badly!” Rose cried out in despair.

“Hah! You want to kill me?” Wren sneered.

Another gunshot sounded. This time, it hit Rose’s chest.

Rose slumped to the floor helplessly. Then, she heard Wren’s voice from a distance. “You want to

Get Brus

take revenge? Perhaps you can do in your next life! Slash her face and throw her into the jungle to feed

the wolves!”

Rose could feel the icy blade grazing her cheek. After that, she was tossed into the forest like trash.

In the complex terrain of Brussels, no one would be able to save her.

She had naively placed her trust in a man in this lifetime. Therefore, she deserved a tragic death.

However, if there were a next life, she would find Wren and grind her bones to dust!

“Ugh!” Rose felt a pounding headache as she sat up, clutching her head. Struggling to sit up, she felt

as if her body were jelly. With great difficulty, she managed to move to the bathroom. Rose found

herself in a place that seemed to be a hospital room. Upon seeing the woman in the mirror, she

couldn’t help but let out a scream.

“Ah!” The face she saw in the mirror was still hers. However, something was wrong with the swollen,

pig-like face she saw in the mirror. Pinching her belly fat, she felt she must be at least 165

pounds.

Rose flipped open the medical chart by the bedside, which stated [Marie Spence, 18 years old,

Female, Concussion.]

Oh my! Who is this Marie Spence?

Memories that belonged to Marie filled her mind. Marie was the least favored daughter of the

Spence family. Her mother had passed away early, and her father, Mason, along with her stepmother,

Mia, had a son named Noel and two daughters, Olive and Carly. Marie, being the third child, was

considered the most redundant member of the family. Moreover, due to her frail health since childhood

and poor academic performance, the Spence family did not care much about her.

In a nutshell, Marie’s father and mother couldn’t care less about her, while her grandfather was

disappointed in her. Meanwhile, Marie, a weak and incapable individual, had given up on herself.

Rose sighed deeply, feeling helpless that she had been reincarnated into such a body. In her previous

life, Rose was proud and stunningly beautiful. She was known as Ace Killer, a woman with

impeccable stamina and a stunning figure.

Even someone as perfect as Rose was tragically killed by Wren in Brussels. Thus, how could a chubby

high school student be compared to Wren?

Rose took out her phone and searched for Rodger Group online. The headline news was about Seth

and Wren’s engagement. Wren was standing shyly beside, while Seth smiled and said, “Naturally, I’ll

take good care of the one I love…” At that, the media praised the couple for being a perfect

match. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Hah! A perfect couple!

Seth had promised Rose that the trip to Brussels would be her last mission. Afterward, he would

eradicate her name from Rodger Group’s list of assassins and grow old with her.

However, the outcome was different.

Wren had gotten wind of Rose’s movements in Brussels. Although Wren caused Rose to suffer a

torturous death, Seth got engaged to Wren almost immediately.

Rose clenched her fists. Seth! Wren! Since I’m not dead, I’ll definitely settle the score with you!

After all, they had killed Mike, and destroyed Rose’s tendon and appearance.

As Marie Spence, I will seek revenge on every single incident!

From now on, Rose swore to make Marie’s presence known in the Spence family.
