When my father asked me to choose between the two Lewis brothers I had grown up with to get married to, I chose Joseph Lewis. He was the man I had secretly loved for 13 years. But on the day of our wedding, his stepsister, Jessica Lewis, leaped off the rooftop of the hotel. She left behind a letter written in blood, blessing Joseph and me with a lifetime of love and happiness. It was only then that I learned that the two of them had been secretly in love for years. At the wedding, Joseph lost control in front of everyone, declaring that he would no longer be concerned with any worldly affairs. I was left standing helplessly in place. For the rest of his life, he lived in guilt, keeping vigil beside Jessica's grave. I resented his deceit, yet stubbornly clung to our marriage, and we tormented each other for years. This went on until we were kidnapped one day. To save me, he perished together with the kidnappers. Before he died, he looked at me and said, "Evelyn, it was wrong of me to keep it from you. But now that both Jessica and I are gone, that should settle the debt, shouldn't it? If there's a next time, don't choose me again." Then, I reopen my eyes to see that I have returned to the day when my father asked me to choose my fiance. This time, I will firmly choose his elder brother, Theodore Lewis.

Meanwhile, Theodore led the Lewis Group to even greater success.We became the kind of deeply devoted couple that everyone envied.Two years later, I gave birth to our daughter, just as Joseph completed his sentence.We were just celebrating our daughter's birth when Joseph showed up at the hotel.He fell to his knees before Theodore and pleaded remorsefully, "Theo, it all happened because of a moment of recklessness. It was my fault, but I've already paid for it. I really regret what I did now. Please, let Jess out."Jessica's sentence had been harsher because she had encouraged Adam to assault me.I sneered. "If you'd just told your father earlier that the two of you were in love, you might have had a happy ending."Martha was d

Seeing the firm resolve in my eyes, Dad finally relented and said, "Since this is your choice, I'll respect it. But remember—you're my daughter. You don't need to marry for the sake of the company. From the very beginning, I only asked you to consider the Lewis family because we've always been close."Of course, I knew that. I pouted and said playfully, "I know that I'm your most precious treasure, Dad! As long as you're around, no one can ever force me to do something I don't want to do."Dad laughed at that and seemed to find Theodore more pleasing to the eye.He said, "Alright. Get up. You're not like your brother. I trust your character, and I believe you won't let Eve suffer. But don't misunderstand, I won't compromise one bit on what happened today."His tone hardened at the end and carried a faint edge.Theodore said solemnly, "You have my word. I'll give you a satisfactory response."Then, Theodore looked at me reluctantly, as if asking me to wait for him before he left.

Theodore, ever the cold and unsmiling CEO, now looked like a pitiful little puppy who had been abandoned.Seeing him like that made my heart melt. I reached out and pinched his cheek gently, then said seriously, "Alright."Only then did he carry me away with a satisfied look on his face.Meanwhile, Joseph, who had just been dragged up from the floor, watched how intimate we were being. He felt a sudden surge of despair.He mumbled, "You two can't be together…""Jo, save me!" Jessica cried out in panic.Joseph's attention immediately snapped toward her. When he saw that she was being restrained, he shouted angrily, "Let her go! She's the daughter of the Lewis family. How dare you treat her like this?"Standing at the doorway, Theodore stopped in his tracks. Without looking back, he said coolly, "She won't be for much longer."And with that, he left with me in his arms, never once turning around.We returned to my home not long after.By then, Dad had already rushed back after

A tall figure dressed in black burst through the door. It was Theodore who had rushed in, covered in dust.He looked at me in distress. His eyes were burning red with anger as he ground out each word through clenched teeth. "Joseph, who gave you the courage to do something like this to your sister-in-law?"Sister-in-law?Joseph froze in disbelief, as if he couldn't fathom that Theodore could actually be interested in me.I glanced at Jessica, who looked pale and terrified, then turned my gaze to the man I had once been so madly in love with.I asked hoarsely, "Joseph, what kind of prayers were you uttering all those years? Why has your heart become even darker than before?"Joseph's eyes widened in shock as he looked at me. "Were you reborn, too?"I didn't answer as I leaned weakly into Theodore's arms with tears streaming down my cheeks. I buried my face against him, sobbing as I choked out, "Theo, I feel awful."Theodore pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead and murmured softl
