All Chapters of Reversal of Roles, Restart of Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Tell Nara that if she wants to die, she's welcome to do so, but there's no way I'm going to comfort her!" Hansel Lennox's cold voice jolted me awake, and as I looked up, I saw my reflection in the mirror, wearing a pristine white wedding gown. I realized I had been reborn into what I once thought was the happiest moment of my life. Behind me, Hansel stood with a hardened expression, his tone sharp with impatience. In my previous life, I had been grateful at this moment, thankful that he had chosen me over Nara Sullivan. Now, I could see that his annoyance carried a deeper restlessness, one I had not noticed before. Perhaps he had already fallen for Nara's persistent pursuit. Yet, he chose to marry me to maintain his reputation and avoid being labeled a cheater.It was not until Nara's death that he realized his true feelings and went mad with love. To atone for his lost love, he used every means to trap me for life.He converted to a devout believer for her but lacked the

While I was lost in thought, Nara's mother stormed over, fuming with rage. "Amber, your nephew drenched Nara with juice! If Hansel hadn't stepped in to discipline him, the Sullivans wouldn't have let this go so easily!" "Amber, I only disciplined Ezra to appease the Sullivans," Hansel quickly explained. "Don't worry, I held back—I wouldn't really hurt him."I glared at him through gritted teeth. Ezra's lip was bleeding, and his face was swollen. Yet, Hansel still had the audacity to call that holding back.Under my resentful gaze, Hansel lowered his head, knowing he was in the wrong. I turned to Mrs. Sullivan and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Sullivan, your daughter was on the rooftop threatening suicide half an hour ago, and I'm the one who convinced my groom to save her. "By that logic, I'd say I'm her lifesaver. Ezra rushed here from school for my wedding, only to find the bride had been switched."He thought his aunt was being mistreated and couldn't help but throw his drink a

Hansel's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking he saw a glimmer of hope. He put on a thoughtful expression and said, "I've already figured it out on my way here. My family and the Sullivans have announced our alliance through marriage."He continued, "If I publicly declare this was all an act, it would damage both families' interests, especially mine. So I can't leave Nara for at least a year, but I'll set up a private house with top-notch security. You can live there, and I'll visit whenever I can."Once I take full control of the company and this scandal blows over, I'll announce my divorce from Nara to the media. Then, I'll marry you."Before I could respond, Sebastian exploded with rage. He grabbed Hansel by the collar and shouted, "You bastard, you're asking Amber to be your secret mistress? After everything you did to steal her from me, this is how you treat her?"Back then, both Sebastian and Hansel had pursued me, but I had not chosen either of them. Later, my roommate falsely acc

I found myself unable to meet Sebastian's eyes. Those eyes, filled with unwavering affection, had once shed tears for days after my death.I still remembered that he had gotten into a car accident on the way back from my funeral, leaving his life hanging by a thread. And that day, he was driving himself.As I looked at him, my heart ached. I said softly, "Okay."Sebastian continued rambling, insisting he wasn't trying to take advantage of me and wouldn't ask anything in return. When my single "okay" interrupted him, he was stunned into silence.Seeing his bewildered and slightly adorable expression, my previously terrible mood lifted. I said, "I never planned to stay by Hansel's side. It's all just a stalling tactic. I'm only trying to prevent that lunatic from losing control."I can't just go up against him so directly, so I have to bide my time."Sebastian was visibly moved, and he exclaimed, "You don't have to anymore. You can rely on me now."I smiled and replied, "Okay."I

I then turned and walked upstairs. Hansel tried to follow me, but Nara grabbed his arm to stop him.He looked back at Nara's face, which appeared innocent yet harbored such malice. Her earlier words began replaying in his mind, fueling his anger further.In a flash of frustration, he slapped Nara hard across the face and said in a voice filled with disappointment, "I've tolerated you endlessly out of respect for your parents. Why do you still insist on provoking Amber?"Nara, who had never been hit by Hansel before, burst into tears and screamed, "Hansel Lennox, you bastard! I'm your wife now, and Amber is nothing but a disgraceful mistress! I've been more than gracious not to have her murdered!"Hansel's expression remained icy as he replied, "Enough! For the sake of the child, I won't make things even more difficult for you. Now, scram!"Nara started to argue, but Hansel cut her off impatiently. "Right now! Immediately!"Her eyes reddened with fury, but she still reluctantly le
