LOGINMy best friend has always been stingy to the bone, so the moment she volunteers to buy a bottle of water for the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family, who collapsed from heatstroke, I know she has been reborn, too. In my previous life, she and I sat for the college entrance exam together, and when the results were announced, we both got the same high score. Both of us had our eyes on Kingsley University, yet the admissions quota was limited, and neither of us wanted to jeopardize our friendship, so we kept delaying our application. In the blink of an eye, it was the last day to file our applications, and as I was about to start on mine, I stumbled upon the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family, who happened to be suffering from heatstroke. I not only bought him a bottle of water, but I also held an umbrella over him until he came to. By the time he regained consciousness, I had already missed the submission deadline. My best friend submitted hers just in time and got accepted into Kingsley University. Because I never submitted mine, the opportunity to attend university slipped past me. However, the heir apparent was touched by my act of kindness, and he asked for my hand in marriage. In the end, I married him and became a socialite, whereas my best friend, despite getting into Kingsley University, was overwhelmed by the demanding curriculum. Watching me live with more money than I could spend, she was fueled with jealousy until one day, she snapped and stabbed me. The moment I open my eyes again, my best friend and I are back on the day the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family passes out from the heat.

I took it out, twisted the lid open, and saw countless red strings packed together.My hands trembled. I had no idea how many young lives the Reeds had ruined with this twisted ritual over the years. I pulled out my lighter, and I was prepared to burn them all. Just then, Noah burst into the room. "Stop right there!"He yelled at me at the top of his lungs. "Put that down, Lumiere. If you burn them, I will see to it that you regret it for the rest of your life!"The very next second, I heard footsteps. Several police officers arrived and positioned themselves in front of me. "Have you lost your minds? Do you have any idea where you are? How dare you break into my family's estate with no evidence? I guess you don't plan on staying in Bellaris much longer, huh?" The police officers looked troubled and turned to me. "There will
As soon as my words fell, police sirens wailed outside. Noah let out a mirthless chuckle and looked at me. "So, you called the police. I underestimated you. But what do you think that's going to do?""It won't do much, but they can take me away from here," I replied.His hand closed around my throat as he leaned in to threaten me. "Even if you run to another country, I'll still find a way to drag you back. There isn't a place in this world you can hide from me."Maya snorted beside him. "That's right. Bitches like her need to be taught a lesson, Mr. Reed." When the police officers walked in and asked who made the call, I raised my hand. "Officer, I wanted to leave earlier, but the two of them wouldn't let me. They also tried to lock me up."Maya and Noah both denied it. I had expected nothing less. "It seems like this was just a misunderstanding then. Officer, could you please take me home?"Just then, Maya clutched the police officer's hand. "Officer, can you take me with you
"Lumiere?" Noah frowned.Maya nodded frantically. "That's right. Use her instead. She's right over there!"She raised her hand and pointed toward the corner where I stood. Noah motioned for his bodyguards to drag me over. He narrowed his eyes at me. "Lumiere… you were the one we wanted from the start. I have no idea why the person who saved me ended up being Maya."So, that was it. Having been given a second chance at life, I had noticed the strange look in Noah's eyes when he looked at me the moment he came to. Clearly, they had planned all of this in my previous life.Maya was relieved when she heard that. She scrambled to her feet and grasped my hand, yanking me forward. "Exactly. Lumiere is the better choice. She's smart, and her personal life is spotless. "I, on the other hand, grew up poor, and when I was little, I was assaulted by a few hooligans in my village. Your grandmother would never want a body like mine!"Noah glanced at her with thinly veiled disgust. Compared
I gaped at the woman in front of me. I had seen her before.In my previous life, I thought I had married for love. After marrying into the Reed family, I had often felt lightheaded.The Reeds' family physician had told me that I simply overworked and was too frail. Yet, as time went on, my symptoms only worsened.About a month later, I realized there were long stretches of time when I was completely unconscious. However, whenever I came to, I found myself in different places, as if my body was no longer mine.Sometimes, I came to in an office during a meeting. Other times, I snapped back to my senses in the backseat of a car. Yet, whenever I asked Noah about it, he would grab me by the throat and snarl, "Who gave you permission to wake up, you bitch?"That was when it hit me that Noah had been putting on an act all along. Soon after, the woman in black would come to my side. Not long after she arrived, my body felt as if it were being pierced by countless needles. The pain was u
