ログインOn my wedding day, Yuna Shaw, the girl my parents had sponsored blocked the door to my room, just as lines of text began scrolling across my vision. [Oh my god, is the female lead really going to marry that golden heir? He’s a psychopath. He likes cutting people into pieces!] [The female lead’s such an idiot. The match Yuna arranged for her is the smarter choice.] [Switching marriages with Yuna is the only way to survive!] In my previous life, after reading those messages, I begged to call off the engagement. Yuna insisted on repaying my family’s kindness by marrying in my place. I ended up marrying the construction foreman she had chosen. After the wedding, my mother-in-law made my life miserable, and my husband abused me. I ran back to my parents for help, only to be slapped repeatedly by Yuna when she returned home. “Still think you’re some rich young lady? Running home the moment things get hard? Someone needs to knock that out of you!” Even my once-loving parents turned cold and threw me out. “You walked out that door as someone else’s wife. What happens to you now is none of our concern.” In the end, I was tortured to death by my husband. Only after I died did I realize it had all been Yuna’s scheme. Now she stood in front of me again, her eyes sharp with calculation. I shoved her aside. “You think you’re worthy of marrying in my place?”
もっと見るI stepped back slowly, clearing a path for her.Holding my mother hostage, she made her way downstairs and got into the car, heading for the airport.I immediately called the police and arranged for the cash to be withdrawn from the bank.Then I followed closely behind her the whole way.At the airport, she grabbed the cash and, with the knife still at my mother’s throat, forced her toward the plane.The scene was chaotic. Officers had already taken positions in the shadows, their weapons trained on her.For my mother’s safety, I called out,“Isn’t it me you hate? I’ll take her place as your hostage. Let my mom go.”Yuna paused, considering for a few seconds.“Fine. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish. You owe me; pay it with your life.”I walked toward her willingly, while my mother was pulled away by Berkeley.The cold edge of the knife pressed against the artery in my neck. Yuna’s voice was low and frenzied in my ear.“Once we land, I’ll take my time with you. Maybe I
“Everything I did was to get close to you and marry you. How could you turn around and choose Jade instead?”Berkeley frowned, his tone cool.“I’m sorry, I don’t know you. I’ve sponsored many students before. The ones I didn’t continue supporting were my own decision. After screening, my staff determined they had ulterior motives.”“What did you say…?”Despair slowly filled Yuna’s eyes.“How could this be? You were supposed to save me. How could you be the one who gave up on me?”I couldn’t help speaking up.“Yuna, when my parents were considering sponsoring you, the center actually advised against it. They said you were fixated on a specific sponsor and refused help from anyone else.“Do you know you nearly lost your chance to study? My parents ignored the warning. They thought you were just young and stubborn, so they insisted on supporting you. “They even brought you into our home because they knew you felt insecure.”Yuna covered her ears, her expression turning unhinged.“I don’t
I stared at her and tossed out, “Then go ahead and try. I don’t believe your so-called comments are that powerful. “Otherwise, you’d have had a hundred ways to make my parents switch the marriage already.”Behind me, Yuna’s curses echoed through the visitation room.I called Berkeley.“Can you arrange for someone to protect my parents around the clock?”“Of course. Jade, did something happen to them?”There was concern in his voice.I brushed it off lightly.“It’s nothing. I’m probably just being overly cautious.”In my previous life, I had been deceived by those comments and forced into marrying the foreman, ending in a miserable death. But I didn’t believe Yuna could use them to directly harm my parents.I refused to give in to any of her threats. Letting her out would only make things worse.For the next period of time, Berkeley’s people reported my parents’ situation to me every day.At first, they bombarded me with messages and calls, even showed up at my door, demanding that I
I let out a small laugh. “My lawyer won’t be letting you off either. Save your breath, say it when you’re behind bars.”Yuna was dragged away in handcuffs, her face full of resentment.My mother nearly collapsed in tears. She grabbed my hand, pleading, “Jade, for the sake of all the years we raised you, please let Yuna go.“How could she possibly kidnap you? She must have been framed!”I shook my head. “Mom, she’s not your daughter. I am. Have you really lost your mind?”The moment I refused, her expression turned cold.“So this is how it is, you ungrateful wretch. You stole Yuna’s marriage and now you’re framing her too. You’re truly vicious.”A sharp ache spread through my chest. The influence those comments had on them ran too deep.My hand tightened. It was Berkeley, holding onto me.“Father, Mother, you don’t seem to be in the best state of mind. I’ll have someone take you home.“Or would you rather stay and attend Jade and my wedding?”They didn’t dare offend him. All they could
