ANMELDENBrandon Fenton, a scholarship student my father had been supporting, was drugged one night. After some consideration, I chose to lie beneath him. I had loved him for ten years. Giving myself to him felt like something I had long decided, something I owed to that love. But everything fell apart the moment Melissa Giles, his childhood sweetheart, walked in on us. Before she could even process what she saw, she ran out in a panic and was struck by a passing car, killing her on the spot. Brandon held me afterward, telling me it wasn't my fault. He even proposed to me. Because of that, Dad placed the entire company into his hands. But the day before our wedding, he set his plans in motion. He deliberately caused a car accident that took Dad's life. When I was at my lowest, drowning in grief, Brandon took me deep into the woods. There, he drove his car over my body, crushing me repeatedly just so I could feel the same agony Melissa had suffered before she died. "If you hadn't drugged me, why would I have ever touched you? If not for you, Melissa would still be alive! I hate you. All of you deserve to die!" And then, after the pain reached its unbearable peak... I opened my eyes and found myself back on the very day Brandon was drugged.

Barnabas took my tangled fingers into his hand."I respect my fans, but I care about you more. I became an actor for you, and… I want the whole world to bless us."He pulled out a delicate blue velvet box from his pocket.His fingers, gripping the box, trembled slightly.Inside was a massive pink diamond ring."Cheryl, will you marry me? Not because of your father's expectations. Not because of pressure to escape anything. Just… For me."I thought I would hesitate, but I did not.I knew, with complete clarity, that I wanted to be with the man in front of me."I will."Barnabas froze for a second.Then, he was so overwhelmed that he fumbled several times before finally sliding the ring onto my finger."I've rehearsed this moment in my head for almost twenty years," he said softly, almost choking....The moment we got back to the hotel, my phone started buzzing nonstop.A message from my father popped up."Sweetheart, you're trending."I opened my social media applicatio
Brandon's eyes were filled with hope. He spread his arms, just like before, waiting for me to run into his embrace.However, all I could remember was my previous life, the pain of being crushed over and over beneath his car.Instinctively, I pressed a hand to my chest, as if I could still feel that agony."No. I stopped loving you a long time ago. The Cheryl who loved you… You killed her with your own hands."I turned around to leave, but Brandon suddenly rushed forward and grabbed my wrist."Cheryl, stop this. Come back with me."I frowned, trying to shake him off. "Let go!"His eyes reddened like an abandoned puppy."You're still angry at me, aren't you? I'll apologize! It was all my fault. I was blind before, but from now on, I won't even look at another woman! Cheryl, I can't live without you. Please… Don't leave me."A flicker of fear rose in me.Barnabas stepped forward and forcefully pried Brandon's fingers off my wrist."She told you to let go. Do you not understand
"You don't have to apologize. Even if you were too busy to reply, it's okay. I'll just find my own way back to you," Barnabas replied warmly."Didn't you once say your future husband had to be a big star?"He looked at me gently and blinked playfully. "Well... I made it happen."Something in my chest softened.It was a childish thing I had said while playing pretend, yet he had remembered it until then.Suddenly, the sunlight was blocked.A tall figure loomed over me.Brandon, eyes bloodshot, reached out as if to pull me into his arms."Cheryl, I finally found you!"Barnabas knocked his hand away in one swift motion, stepping in front of me."Don't you dare touch her."Brandon seemed to notice Barnabas only then, but with his sunglasses on, he probably could not recognize him."Are you her bodyguard? Get lost. Do you even know who I am?"I did not want to cause a scene in the middle of the street, so I asked quietly, "What do you want?""I miss you. So much so that I'm go
