Actually, the main reason I have to pull Ronald to my side is that, he was the one who killed Ashley most of the times.
The original book was about Ashley living her life miserably over and over again… until she could let go of Christian, and it took exactly 7 lives to do so.
She doesn't even meet Ronald in her first life. After the stairs accident, Kelsey greets Christian, they fall in love at first sight… and from there Christian treats Ashley as just a third wheel to be shaken off. The girl will be jealous, she will start arguing with everyone… which is why Christian avoids her for good. She marries him anyway… but he refuses to spend the wedding night with her. Eventually, Kelsey is attacked by bandits, whose were sent by Ronald by the way... during a carriage ride and her death is blamed on Ashley. And Christian in anger stabs the girl in the heart with his sword.
Pathetic. The protagonist is a real dickhead… of course that wasn't enough for Ashley to be disappointed. Her second life begins where mine is. Stairs accident… she let's them meet… try to restrain jealous thoughts… in return even though Christian takes and Ashley gets married, 2 years later Kelsey gives birth to his child, because he refuses to even kiss Ashley, so he doesn't cheat on his lover with his wife?! Madman.
By the way, this is one of the lives where she meets Ronald, for about a 5 minutes conversation.
All that happens between them is that the boy suggests that, she should let Christian go.
This time, the bandits end the mentally shattered Ashley's life.
In the third life, she tries to prevent the lovers from meeting. She tries to please Christian… but when Kelsey dies of depression before their wedding, the head of the Kerrington house blames her and beats her to death with a duster.
Wonderful… I really have wonderful opportunities…
In her 4th life, she realizes that Kelsey will die prematurely without a Christian — but if she survives and they get together, Ashley will die — so she decides to flee.
At the age of 17, she escapes from the Kerrington house, but is caught on the run and sold as a slave… which is prostitution for women. So even then she lives no longer than 21 years, because she dies of some sexually transmitted disease.
In her 5th life, she pretends to be crazy. This way the parents are forced to send Kelsey to school, where the doctor of the academy finds that the girl was simply depressed and only needs socialization… They declare Kelsey's and Christian's engagement, and Ashley, who has become useless, is poisoned by her own mother… lt's not like she could stay alive or anything else…they had to kill her…
Trash couple, I swear if I ever get power…I will kill them first.
In her 6th life she loses all her vitality. She sees everything as hopeless and ends her life on her own, when she wakes up and witness the moment her sister and the love of her life fall in love with each other. She jumps off from the tallest window of the mansion and dies immediatley.
Life 7'th is the most meaningful… almost everything is revealed here.
In fact, Ashley was unaware that they were just cousins with Kelsey. She thought they were siblings, but when she goes to look for a witch in her final despair, because she wants to break the endless cycle… she meets an old servant. The old woman was once Annmarie's maid, and since she also recognizes the former Countess in the girl, she throws everything right to her head. Ashley then finds out the truth… then she realizes that Ronald is actually a relative of Kelsey's real father, and even the brother of the prince currently waiting for the throne of the neighbour country, and Kelsey's existence is a threat to his position .. that's why the girl must die anyway.
Of course, if Christian takes Kelsey as his wife, and the girl gives birth to a child, she loses her right to the position of queen… and escapes death. That's why Ashley has to stand out of their way, but if she's not going to be the Mcrowen marchioness, she'll be killed, and if she's forced to marry Chistian, Kelsey will be killed and then jealousy with charge… she'll die too.
Eventually, she realizes that her innocent sister deserves happiness… and sacrifices herself on Ronald's blade, so that everyone who is important to her can be happy. Then her soul will find peace and the book will end.
So as I mentioned this book is a load of shit!
Her sister was a fucking slut… what kind of cunt gets pregnant from her sister's husband? And Christian is a real son of a bitch… they should have died not Ashley!
And now I'm in this shitty situation because of them…
So either I find a new fiancé before I leave the academy… or I am done…
