"Willow, I'm going to give Faith a call. Then, we can proceed with the wedding, okay?" said a familiar voice. That voice jolted me out of the horror of my tragic death, and I soon found myself reborn on my wedding day.

I turned to look at Miles Wright, who was impeccably dressed, and asked in a rather uncertain tone, "What did you just say?"

Miles frowned slightly as his eyes landed on me. I hadn't even said anything untoward when he began to reprimand me lowly.

"Stop being so jealous! Faith missed her SATs to save my mom. I promised to marry her, but I broke that promise just to be with you.

"Now that she's leaving, I just want to call her to say goodbye. Can't you respect that?"

My heart sank upon hearing his words.

He had always sided with Faith in my last life. He would constantly use this same excuse while doing so. At the time, I understood that a life debt was a huge deal, and that was why I never fussed about it.

However, that didn't mean he was going to shackle me down with moral obligations in this life! Besides, I honestly wasn't even sure whether Faith was actually his mother's savior or that he was just using this excuse to placate me.

So, I squashed the anger in my heart into a ball as I forced myself to straighten his collar before saying with a smile, "You've misunderstood me. I just think that you should see her off at the airport yourself since she's your mother's savior.

"After all, there's still some time before the wedding begins. You should go while you still can. I'll talk to our parents about this."

Miles was slightly taken aback by my response. It seemed that he didn't expect me to be so agreeable. He hugged me tightly and murmured, utterly touched, "I knew you'd understand."

Then, he promptly left without another word. The smile on my face faded as soon as he was gone.

I turned to look at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a custom-made wedding dress designed by a Caeloran luxury brand. The diamonds used on the dress alone were worth millions.

The jewelry I was currently wearing was even designed by Odron's royal jeweler, and it was worth billions. I was born into wealth. Yet, I got myself ensnared by a lowly and filthy man in my last life.

I was truly an abject failure!

Regardless, I could change things in this new life. Not only would I not fall for the same pitfalls, but I would also ensure that lunatic Miles would pay a thousandfold for doing wrong by me!

Just as my mind was whirring with a vengeance, the door behind me swung open with a creak. My brother, Alder Moore, inquired, "Willow, the wedding's about to start. Why did that dickhead leave?"

My heart trembled upon hearing his familiar voice, and I instinctively dashed to him, embracing him tightly.

In my last life, my brother, who wanted to help drive Cassius—the eldest scion of the Wrights and my initial fiancé—away, chose to fully support Miles in the fight for Wright Group's inheritance. But Miles orchestrated a car accident and caused my brother to suffer a broken leg.

Later, he became deeply traumatized by our parents' passing and eventually had a mental breakdown. My brother had been the most promising scion in Dorei. Yet, he was sent to the mental asylum to be tormented to his death.

I had visited him once before my passing. Although he had lost his sanity, he still comforted me in his brief moment of clarity, saying, "Willow, don't blame yourself. None of us has ever blamed you."

I promptly broke down in tears as I recalled just how my misguided love had ruined him and our parents.

Alder pressed on with alarm, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did he hurt you?"

I nodded as I choked out, "Alder, he's gone to look for his true love."

Alder roared in anger, "What? How dare he leave you at the altar!"

Then, he wiped my tears and rebuked me with a huff, "Don't get me wrong. You're a great person, but you do have lousy taste in men."

I nodded once more. "You're right, but I've figured it all out now. Alder, I no longer want to get married."

Alder scrutinized me suspiciously. "Are you being serious, or are you just saying this in a fit of anger?"

He knew just how much I had loved Miles for the past four years. That was why he couldn't bring himself to trust my decision.

He only relaxed when I gave him a solemn nod. Then, he drawled, "You've finally come to your senses and made the right decision. I'll look for our parents and tell them that the wedding's off."

I shook my head and replied, "No, the wedding must be called off. However, we won't be the ones doing so."

Then, I leaned in and whispered into my brother's ear.

He looked at me with surprise before bursting into hearty laughter and saying with delight, "You clever girl. If only you'd been smarter in the past, then he wouldn't have been able to play you like a fiddle."

Alder left with a grin on his face.

Once he was gone, I sent Faith a text, saying, "Ms. Green, I hear you're leaving the country. Thank you for leaving, and I wish you a safe journey."

With that done, I promptly texted Miles, "Do come back soon. I'll wait for you."

Miles replied with a simple, "Okay."

Meanwhile, I knew that he wouldn't be able to make it back before the ceremony started. Faith couldn't handle the slightest provocation. So, when she received my message, she would do her damnedest to keep Miles by her side.

Half an hour later, the guests started to whisper among themselves as the ceremony had yet to begin. In the meantime, Miles' father, Julian Wright, had been calling Miles over and over upon learning that he had gone to the airport. He had to do all that while trying to salvage the already crumbling situation.

Unfortunately, all Julian got for his efforts was the news headline of Miles' heartfelt confession to Faith at the airport.

    Julian could no longer remain calm after that. He noticed the dark expressions on my family's faces and hastily said to me, "Willow, don't worry. "The Wrights would only ever accept you as our daughter-in-law. I will bar Miles from bringing unworthy people before me."My parents' faces were beyond thunderous at this point. My father didn't hesitate to retort, "Julian, my daughter has been treated poorly. What makes you think I would ever allow her to marry that illegitimate son of yours after this?"Julian hurriedly apologized. After all, my family had been working with the Wrights for years. So, he would much rather give up on Miles than dare to offend the Moores, who were important business partners.Nevertheless, he pleaded with me to give it another hour, and I reluctantly agreed. Alas, all we got out of it was news of Miles proposing to Faith. The guests in attendance burst into whispered discussion, openly disparaging Miles' irresponsible behavior.Julian's face was red fro

    Cassius' arrival attracted everyone's attention. He swept his gaze across the scene with disdain, completely disregarding Miles and Faith, who were both on their knees. Instead, he simply knelt on one knee, took out a ring, and asked me whether I would be willing to marry him."I heard that someone was being bullied. Have you considered changing grooms?"I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I looked straight into his eyes. Those eyes were looking at me in barely concealed anticipation. I had done so many foolish things in an effort to break off our engagement in my previous life, hurting him terribly. So, I always thought that he hated me until I saw him rushing back from abroad overnight when the news of my death reached him. I saw how he collapsed over my coffin during my funeral, sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, I saw him doing everything in his power to eliminate Miles and dying because of it. That was when I realized how deeply he loved me.Therefore, I was determined to hol

    No, I refused to take this lying down. I refused to give in even if these men lay their hands on me. I was never the one in the wrong. So, none of this mattered. I would ensure that my parents and brother would live this life to the fullest, and I would do it while sending Miles straight to the pits of hell.I heard his footsteps fading away and felt several disgusting gazes landing on me. I sensed someone drawing closer and felt every hair on my body stand on end as I trembled in fear.I tightened my hold on the shard of glass and readied myself for a fight to the death.Suddenly, someone kicked the door wide open in the private room. Cassius was drenched in blood as he grabbed Miles by the neck and violently threw him to the ground.Then, I heard the sounds of fists striking flesh. In the next second, someone removed the cloth covering my eyes, and I saw Cassius pinning Miles down. He was mercilessly raining punch after punch on Miles' face.Miles' face was practically covered i

    Miles' face turned dark when he heard that Cassius had called the cops. He frowned and said, "Cassius, you can't call the cops. Willow hired these thugs to hurt Faith. If you do this, Willow's reputation will be ruined."Faith avoided my gaze out of guilt before rushing over to cling to Miles' arms. Then, she whined piteously, "Miles, I don't want to go to the police station. "I have no power or influence. What if they bribe those cops to punish me and distort the facts while they're at it?"Alder sneered. "I think you're the one who's feeling guilty. Willow would never resort to such despicable means to ruin you, no matter how much she dislikes you. "We'll know just who has hired these thugs once the police run an investigation. This isn't something you can gloss over with just a few pretty words."Faith's eyes turned red-rimmed upon hearing this. She didn't bother denying Alder's words. Instead, she cried in seeming resignation and said, "What am I supposed to do now that yo

    I looked at Cassius' cold yet charming face and felt as if my heart was about to leap out of my chest. My father smiled and said, "I can rest at ease knowing that Willow will be in your care."So, Cassius brought me to the bureau to register our marriage the very next morning. He said he was afraid that things would come crashing down the longer we waited. As a result, we became the first couple to register their marriage that day.I held the freshly issued certificate with a rather dazed look on my face. I felt as though I was dreaming.I shot a sneaky glance at Cassius and found that he was also staring intently at the marriage certificate. The corners of his lips had lifted into an imperceptible smile. In the past, I had found his ascetic demeanor utterly dull. Now, I found it incredibly charming.Just then, he tilted his face toward me. When our gazes met, I caught sight of the unconcealed joy in his eyes.He gently stroked my hair and said, "Would you like to go abroad with

    Amara rolled her eyes with exasperation. I turned around just in time to see an excited Miles rushing toward me.It had been a few days since I last saw him. Yet, it seemed as though he had lost some weight. Not only did he look unkempt, but he also radiated an aura of dejection.Meanwhile, Faith was dressed impeccably. However, her face fell when she caught sight of us. I raised my hand, silently signaling for Miles to keep his distance. He gave me a bitter smile and said, "You've been avoiding me lately. I thought you were still upset with me. I didn't expect to see you buying a gift for me."I exchanged a look with Amara, both of us noticing the disbelief in each other's eyes. Amara immediately mocked, "And who told you that this watch is for you?"Miles confidently replied, "Stop pretending. I heard you earlier. You said it was a wedding gift for your husband. Who else could it be?"It was so ridiculous that I felt my lips turn up into an incredulous smile. Then, I answe

    I turned the call on speaker. Soon, Alder's voice came through, saying, "Willow, do you remember the Arcana collaboration you facilitated with us and the Wrights? Should we change the person in charge on the Wrights' end?"Miles looked up at me with fear, his eyes pleading as he begged, "Please… No. Stop."This very collaboration established the Wrights and the Moores as the cream of the crop in Dorei, laying a solid foundation for both families in terms of international influence. Miles had been the one responsible as a liaison for Wright Group in our past life.Thanks to this collaboration, he had secured his position as a contender for Wright Group's inheritance. However, why should I bother helping him in this life?I curled my lips into a smile before drawling, "Of course. I've gotten myself a new groom, haven't I? Naturally, it means that someone else should take the lead."After I hung up the call, I looked at Miles, who looked dejected, and said dispassionately, "Miles, I

    Miles clutched his head, acting as if he had recalled something painful. Then, he turned to look at me with guilt and sorrow in his eyes.I slowly stroked my abdomen as a smile played on my lips.

"She didn't know just what you've done for her. You turned yourself into a devoted disciple for her. You tormented and humiliated me for her. You… killed our child for her."He staggered away from me as the color drained from his face.
