Since youve asked for it , how could I refuse ? You decide then .
Should I raise her status to concubine , or make her my equal as a secondary wife , alongside you ? In my previous life , even though I shared a deep affection with the General , I remained nothing more than a maid .
Danica , the legitimate wife , had promised me that if I bore the Generals first child , she would raise my status .
Looking back , I noticed how desperate she was to manipulate me .
Before the General had even said anything about me bearing his child , she was already rushing to entice me with status and position .
She just wanted me to cherish the child I was carrying , hoping I would give her a healthy baby .
That was likely her true intention all along .
Let Gianna manage the household alongside me , Danica chirped .
We will be equals as the Generals wives ! } Her eyes sparkled with delight as she spun her web of lies.M I knew her real plan was for me to die after giving birth .

But now , after I learned about the truth , my heart burned with a fierce resolve .
The injustices I suffered in my past life would be repaid in full .
Danica , under the guise of planning a second wedding night for me and the General , succeeded in luring him to my room .
As I looked at the man before me , my heart was filled with mixed emotions .
I carried the memories of our past affection from a previous life , but what about him ? He might as well have been a stranger now .
He was pushed into my arms only by his wifes machinations .
As I thought about this , a dull ache began to well up in my chest .
Please enjoy the wine ! The matchmaker beamed , her face wrinkling into a wide grin as she handed us the ceremonial cups .

} ] As soon as she left , Rolando turned to me , suddenly seizing my chin in such a rough grip that my eyes welled up with tears out of pain .
