What He Did to EmilyBarkis courted a young, wealthy Emily and convinced her to elope with him in secret against her parents' wishes. He told her to bring all of her family's gold and jewels to their secret meeting spot in the forest.Once they met in the dark woods, Barkis betrayed her, robbed her of everything she brought, and brutally murdered her, leaving her body buried under the tree where Victor eventually found her.
After Victor gone missing, Lord Barkis Bittern lied and said victor was cheating on Victoria (with Emily but they did not know she was dead or simply emily)
So Victoria's parents made Victoria marry Barkis instead. (and he is going to plan to kill her too)

The Accidental ProposalAfter completely ruining his wedding rehearsal due to severe nerves, a humiliated Victor flees into the dark, foggy forest.Alone in the woods, his anxiety fades and he perfectly recites his wedding vows. To practice the final step, he slides his gold wedding ring onto an upturned, spindly tree branch sticking out of the ground.
The TwistThe "branch" is actually the skeletal finger of Emily, a murdered woman buried in an unmarked grave.Because Victor spoke the vows perfectly and placed the ring on her hand, the magical laws of the afterlife recognize it as a binding marriage. Emily bursts out of the earth in her tattered wedding dress, accepts his proposal, and whisks a terrified, fainting Victor away to the Land of the Dead.

He is absolutely terrified but quickly realizes Emily isn't a monster—she is just a heartbroken girl who thinks she finally found her true love.The Deception: Desperate to get back to his living fiancée, Victoria, Victor tricks Emily. He convinces her to take him to the Land of the Living by pretending he wants her to meet his parents. Instead, he runs straight to Victoria.The Heartbreak: Emily tracks him down, catches him with Victoria, and feels deeply betrayed. Heartbroken and angry, she drags Victor back down to the underworld.
The Sacrifice: Later, Victor finds out that because Emily is dead, their forest vows aren't fully legal unless he dies too. Believing Victoria has moved on, a sympathetic Victor genuinely touches Emily's heart and willingly agrees to drink poison to join her in death permanently.
