She truly regretted pushing away her dearest love, regretted doubting him, regretted not realizing her feelings sooner. In this life, the most painful thing is not never having it, but having it and then losing it. The man she loved was Joseph. A strong, capable man, the heir of the wealthy William family.

He had to gather enough resources, but in doing so, he was drawn into the whirlwind of hatred, intrigue, and schemes. "The most terrifying thing in this world is not snakes, but human hearts."
