In her past life, when a truck barreled toward them, Lillian Hogan instinctively pushed Elton Ruiz out of harm's way. She paid the price with both her legs crushed. When she woke up in the hospital, the aloof, noble man lowered his head for the first time. Standing by her bedside, he promised to marry her. Tearfully, she accepted the proposal from the man she'd loved since she was eight. But after the wedding, Elton often stayed out all night. His attitude toward her grew cold and harsh. When an infection from her injuries left her on the brink of death, the billionaire didn't spare a single penny for her care. "I never thanked you for saving my life," he said. "Our marriage was a mistake from the start. Let me go." His face grim, he pulled out her oxygen tube. Lillian's eyes widened in shock. In the agony of betrayal and heartbreak, she took her last breath. If she could do it all over again, she vowed never to love Elton again.

An explosion rocked the studio."Elton!" Lillian screamed, her eyes wide with horror, before collapsing.She woke up in the hospital, met by Alonzo's bloodshot eyes.She'd been out for seven days, and he'd stayed by her side the entire time. Thankfully, she had only minor injuries. Her coma was caused by shock.Sitting up, she recalled the fire. Her breathing quickened, and she grabbed Alonzo's hand. "I heard an explosion before I passed out. How is Elton?""Breathe, take it easy," Alonzo soothed her, holding her hand. "He is alive. He's badly burned and needs multiple skin grafts to live normally again. When I got there, he was being pulled out, still conscious. He wanted you to forget him. He didn't want you to see him like this. He's upstairs in a ward. Do you want to see him?"Lillian exhaled, lowering her eyes.After a while, she shook her head. "No. He and I should've ended things long ago. Never seeing him again is the best closure."Alonzo nodded, shifting topics.He t

"How did you get in here?" Lillian turned, wary.Her guarded look broke Elton's heart.He paused. "Your senior, Tanya, came to me. Said she'd bring me to see you. She picked a time when we'd be alone."Lillian frowned at the revelation.Elton pulled a vial from his pocket. "She gave me this. Told me to trick you into drinking it. Then I'd have you. She'd break you and Alonzo up and take her shot."Lillian's mind reeled. This explained why Tanya had turned on her after learning about her relationship with Alonzo.She'd seen Tanya as a sister, but the latter was scheming with Elton to ruin her.Grabbing a speaker as a makeshift weapon, Lillian backed away. "Get out! I'd rather die than drink that. Stay away!"Elton didn't move closer. He looked at her trembling lips, his face heavy with sorrow. "You hate me that much? In our last life, we were married. And now, even getting near you scares you?"He gave a bitter smile and smashed the vial on the floor. "Don't worry. I've done en

Lillian looked up and saw Tanya standing there.Clenching her fists, she asked, "Tanya, did I do something to upset you?""Ha, don't flatter yourself." Tanya's voice rose. "I'm just critiquing your dancing professionally. What, you can't handle someone not praising you?"Her words dripped with venom. Even Lillian, always slow to catch on, realized Tanya was angry.She thought for a moment and figured it out.Staring at Tanya, she asked, "Is this about me dating Alonzo?""Shut up!" Tanya snapped, raising her hand to strike.A voice stopped her. "Tanya, stop!"Nina Cruz, the studio's founder and Tanya's mentor, stepped forward with a stern expression.She'd seen everything, knowing Tanya was picking a fight.Tanya lowered her hand, muttering, "Big deal. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be here."Nina silenced her with a glare. "You two are the most talented dancers I've seen. Lillian started with a weak foundation, but she's made up for it with hard work. There's a danc

Alonzo yanked Elton away, throwing him to the ground.Alonzo's fists rained down, each punch fueled by rage. "You piece of trash! You betrayed Lillian, and you have the nerve to show your face?"Elton curled up, taking the blows without fighting back.He had looked into Alonzo's profile before coming. This man had cared for Lillian for six months, so he couldn't hit back.Spitting blood, he rasped, "Go ahead and hit me, if this makes you feel better and makes Lillian forgive me."Alonzo, still furious, swung again. "I'll take you up on that!"Lillian initially relished the sight, but as Alonzo showed no sign of stopping, fear crept in.Worried he'd go too far, she grabbed him. "Alonzo, stop. You're killing him."Alonzo cooled down a little, delivering one last kick. "Get lost. Don't ever show up in front of me or Lillian again."He wrapped an arm around Lillian's shoulder, shielding her from the bloody scene. "Forget about this. Let's go home."She nodded, taking his hand.E
