Hello, I remember I read this book in highschool for my English class. I believe it was sophomore or junior year. The book was about this guy that got betrayed by his friend (or maybe it was his rival) and he took his lover while he got sent to prison. They way he escaped was by throwing himself in the water when taken to prison (don’t remember the specifics actions of what he did to escape). He later came back (5-20 year range) and he was a noble himself and super smart and slowly took revenge on those who did him wrong. I believe the setting was in the island of Corsica but this one is a wild wild guess.
Help please 🙏
