The Scripted Villain's Second Chance

I loved Isabella fiercely, my childhood sweetheart, the sunshine of my life.

Our families were bound, our futures intertwined.

I thought we were destined.

Then came the betrayal.

She shattered my family's legacy, my parents' health, and finally, my very life.

As I lay dying, brutally tortured, I saw her, cold and triumphant, with Daniel Chen-the man she loved, whose 'death' she believed I orchestrated.

My last, agonizing thought: This was never my story.

I was just the villain, a disposable pawn for their destined romance.
