Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.
On my wedding day, my husband abandoned me to marry his childhood sweetheart, while I was tortured to death.
***
Yeah. That was how my first life ended, pathetic. Wasn't it?
I was the perfect fiancée: quiet, obedient, hopelessly in love with a man who never loved me back.
For three years, I erased myself to become Adrian Whitmore's first love, Isabella Clarke, the woman he truly loved. I cooked for him, fought for him, and even gave up my father's company for him.
And what did I get in return?
Betrayal. Humiliation. Death.
But heaven gave me another chance.
I wake up three years earlier, at our engagement party. The same party where Adrian threw our rings into the pool and I—desperate and pathetic—dove in to retrieve them.
Not this time.
This time, I throw the rings back in his face. I expose his secrets, reclaim my father's empire, and walk away from the man who never deserved me.
But Adrian isn't ready to let go.
The obedient woman who worshipped him is gone, replaced by someone he can't control or predict. For the first time in his arrogant life, he wants what he can't have—me.
Too bad I'm done being anyone's second choice.
With a sweet billionaire offering genuine devotion and a dangerous mafia boss promising absolute protection, I finally have options.
Meanwhile, Adrian watches helplessly as I become everything he never let me be.
In my first life, I died for love. In my second life, everyone who hurt me will pay.

Chapter: Chapter 70: Vincent's dilemma.Vincent POVI sat at the long glass table in the Hayes Acquisitions conference room with a catalogue open in front of me, but my mind kept drifting.“Lot 7,” I said, forcing myself to focus. “What’s the latest authentication report?”My head of curation, Julia Hart, pushed her glasses up her nose and slid a folder toward me.“It’s the silver astrolabe from the Imperial Crown Auction,” she said. “Provenance is… strange. The paperwork looks complete, but the ink on the earliest document is too fresh. There are also tiny tool marks on the inner rim that suggest recent tampering.”I flipped through the report. Simple, clear words filled the page, but all I heard was Evelyn’s voice from our meeting at Cedar Heights:Most of the pieces will be fake. It’s a trap.I cleared my throat. “So you’re not confident?”Julia shook her head. “No, sir. If it were any other house, I would pull out. But this is the Imperial Crown Auction. They usually don’t risk their name with bad items.”Usually.I con

Chapter: Chapter 69: Loose ends IIGabriel POVI knew he hated this part of what we did. He hated the collateral damage and innocent people getting caught in the crossfire."Does Evahlyn live in Crescent Harbour?" I asked, trying to school my expression."Yes," He confirmed. "And I'm afraid her life is in danger. We can't afford to have another innocent person suffer because of you."I leaned back in my chair and sighed. "Okay, Buddha, what do you suggest we do?"Rowan’s nickname was Buddha—because, unlike me, he believed in peaceful solutions and redemption. He had this stupid idea about rewriting what people knew as the Mafia. He wanted to build a world where we didn’t have to spill blood every single time, we wanted to make a point.It was never going to happen. But I liked that he tried.Why I still kept him as my underboss was a mystery to me because he was so darned disciplined. But if you mistake his discipline, his want for peace and his façade of fragility, you’d end up with a neat bullet hole at the back of y

Chapter: Chapter 68: Loose endsGabriel POV"Who sent you?" I asked, striking the man tied to the chair.The overhead lamp was the only light in the dark room, casting shadows across his bruised face. His left eye was swollen shut, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.The man's face lolled to the right, and then he started laughing. His entire body shook with it, like something was hilarious.He turned to face me directly, blood staining his teeth."You can kill me, Ross," he said, his voice hoarse. "But you won't get a single word out of me."I snickered and leaned back. "You think death is your redemption? That if I kill you, you'll be a martyr?" I shook my head. "No. I'll make sure death is not your redemption. I'll make sure you suffer long enough to regret ever crossing me."I turned and walked out of the room, leaving him to think about those words.Someone handed me a rag in the hallway. I wiped the last trace of blood off my fingers and tossed the rag into a bucket beside the door.My PA, Dax, fel

Chapter: Chapter 67: The price of confession.Evelyn POVI walked into my penthouse bedroom with a heavy sigh and loosened my tie like it was choking me. My head had been pounding since morning, and the silence of the room did nothing to help.I shrugged out of my suit jacket and let it fall carelessly on the nearest chair. I was exhausted.Not physically…no. I was used to working for long hours, but mentally. My mind was spinning with everything and nothing at once.The Bangria project was stalling. Everything was moving too slowly, and I couldn't figure out why.When I'd traveled to Bangria, I'd seen it as an opportunity to do two things at once.First, I wanted to finalize the deal with the Ross Family—a partnership that could generate significant profit for Whitmore Group. Second, I wanted to find Evelyn. To make sure she was okay and to see if I could convince her to come back home with me.But neither had gone according to plan.The Ross rep had given me nothing but silence. I waited for hours with our representative in Ban

Chapter: Chapter 66: The breaking point IIEvelyn POV“Evelyn,” Grace said softly, “are you alright? Do you need anything?”I opened my eyes and met her gaze.“No,” I whispered. “I’m exhausted and scared. I don’t know what else to do, Grace. Maybe they are right, I’ve made a mess of everything, and I don’t know if, at this point, I should even be running the business.”“No!” Grace shook her head and turned around the table to come to me. “This is also my fault. If I hadn’t forced you to travel to Bangria… but I swear, the way they sounded in the email they sent to us, it looked promising. I don’t know what happened.”“Adrian Whitmore happened,” I said tiredly.“Mr Whitmore?” Grace’s eyes widened with surprise. “What do you mean?”I sat up on my desk and took a deep breath, trying to hold the tears in. “I saw Adrian in Bangria, and it's no fucking coincidence that he showed up and we received rejection from Meridian. He has his hands in it.”“Oh my God!’ Grace cried out covering her mouth in shock. I never would have guessed.”

Chapter: Chapter 65: The breaking point.Evelyn POVI walked into Bennett Corporation at nine in the morning on a Tuesday, and I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped through the doors.The lobby was filled with people. My people. The staff I'd been trying so hard to keep employed and paid, even when I had no money.They were holding signs."Evelyn Bennett - Step Down""Bring Back Damien""We Want Real Leadership"I stood there, my suitcase still in my hand, and I felt something shatter inside me.Someone had taken the initiative to invite the news, so practically, as I stood there breaking, I was recorded for the whole nation to see."What is this?" I asked quietly, looking around at the faces I recognised. People I'd worked with in these few weeks. The same ones I'd tried to protect.Everyone turned to look at me. My suitcase suddenly felt too heavy, and my legs were slowly weakening as if someone had poured lead into my bones.Not today…Dear God, please not today.I forced myself to straighten and keep walking eve
