My name is Christina Scott. In my previous life, Xavier Quinn, known as Don Quinn of the Quinn family, had asked me to choose one of his two sons to marry. The chosen one would then inherit his seat of power. Without hesitation, I chose the one I loved—Fletcher Quinn. He married me and assumed the role of the Don, but he blamed me for choosing him. He claimed that it drove his foster sister, Sabrina Quinn, who loved him, to leave. After our wedding, Fletcher hired someone to abduct me, causing me to die with our unborn child. The one who cried the hardest over my body turned out to be Lucas Quinn, a man whom the world called a cold-blooded demon. "Christina, if I had known this would be our ending," he confessed, "I would never have allowed Fletcher to have you." ... Now that I have been reborn, I will leave Fletcher to Sabrina, his foster sister, his true love. As for me, I choose to marry Lucas this time. However, when I chooses to marry Lucas, Fletcher begins to regret. "Christina, I love you. I love you most in the world."

"I didn't know you were such a good actor, Mr. Quinn. You sounded so sincere just now that I almost believed it.""Cut the crap. How is a woman's life more important than mine?" Fletcher snapped.…A second later, the kidnapper swung the gun toward me, and a shot rang out.Fletcher went down clutching his leg. "Can't you shoot straight? I told you—"The kidnapper pulled off his mask, revealing himself to be Lucas.Fletcher was stunned. "Lucas? What the hell?"Lucas waved his hand, and several bodyguards rushed in to pin Fletcher to the floor."Are you hurt?" Lucas hurried over to untie me, running his hands over me to check for injuries.I shook my head in response."Lucas, why do you have to show up now? All my life, why must you be better than me at everything? Now, you even want to steal the woman I love!"My ang
Through the door, I teased him, "Mr. Quinn, have you forgotten the old Seycilian custom?"I opened the door in delight, only to find Fletcher standing there. He looked even more haggard than a few days ago, a shadow of stubble darkening his jaw."What are you doing here?" I saw the tension in his face and instinctively tried to close the door.However, he was quicker, taking a step inside first.Before I could scream, he pressed a cloth over my mouth and nose, signaling to a masked man behind him to carry me off.When I woke, I was in an abandoned warehouse."Fletcher, what are you doing? Let me go right now. Lucas won't spare you," I warned.At the mention of Lucas, Fletcher's expression turned feral."Don't say his name!" he yelled.I tried to keep him talking while my bound hands worked at the signet ring. The day before, Lucas had told me his tech team had modified the ring. It could send a distress signal and broadcast my location."All men are the same," Fletcher sneere
"Thank you, Fletcher! I knew it! You still love me!" Sabrina reached out excitedly. "I'll marry you, Fletcher! I'll treat you well. I'll treat you better than Christina ever could."Fletcher didn't even glance at her. He walked straight to me and dropped to one knee. "Christina, happy birthday. Will you marry me?""Are you insane?" Sabrina knocked the ring out of his hand. "Christina will be your sister-in-law!"He picked up the ring and glared at her. "If it weren't for you, she would be my fiancee now!""I could be too! Why does it have to be her? You said it yourself. Even if you married her, the one you loved was still me." Sabrina clutched Fletcher's arm.I felt a strange deja vu, as if I was seeing the desperate look I once wore."That's because I didn't realize back then that she's so much better than you!" he roared.Seeing that pleading wouldn't work, she threw in her trump card. "Fletcher, don't forget I was the one who saved you when you almost drowned!"Fletcher sla
It was the first time that I'd heard Lucas speak so much in one breath since we'd grown apart.Looking at how serious he was, I teared up. Everything he had said only proved I'd made the right choice. "Lucas, marriage isn't a game. I chose you because I want to spend the rest of my life with you," I said."Are you sincerely choosing me?"I nodded, and he lit up like a child who'd just been handed candy.…Hand in hand, we walked down the stairs, and we exchanged engagement rings in front of everyone."Christina, I'll treat you well for the rest of my life," he promised.…My birthday was a week after the engagement banquet, but by now, I was sure no one remembered. I spent the day at my father's grave. By the time I returned to the Quinn residence, it was deep into the night.Under the dark porch, a tiny ember flared and dimmed. When I came closer, I saw it was Lucas.The smoke caught in my throat and made me cough. He quickly snuffed out the cigarette and asked, "Where hav
Lucas' eyes flickered first with shock, then with delight. "Yes!"I took Lucas' arm and moved toward the main seat, but Fletcher stepped in front of us. He questioned, "You love me, don't you? Why didn't you choose me?""I was young and foolish then. That won't happen again," I answered."That's impossible!"Lucas shoved him back and put himself between us. "Christina is now my fiancee. You ought to respect her decision.""I see it now! Lucas, you must've forced Christina into this, right?" Fletcher fumed. "You made her marry you just to claim the inheritance.""He's not you!" I sneered.The guests started whispering among themselves, and Xavier couldn't stand it any longer."Fletcher, is this how you behave? When Christina was pursuing you, didn't you say that feelings can't be forced?" he demanded. "And now that she's moved on, you're trying to lay a claim on her!""Dad, don't be angry. I'll take Fletcher away." Sabrina stepped forward to hold Fletcher's arm.Fletcher flung
Fletcher was holding Sabrina in his arms, yet he still had the gall to talk about us.The calm mask on Lucas' face cracked. His fury flashed through his features as he demanded, "So, you know she's your woman! You'd just stand by and watch your woman die?"For the first time, I could see how much Lucas actually cared about me. When he said "your woman", his steady voice trembled almost imperceptibly.It seemed Xavier hadn't told him that I had chosen him."She's the one in the wrong! She's about to marry me and still throws a tantrum over me giving Sabrina a gown! How could someone like that be a worthy Madre of the Quinn family?" Fletcher barked.I pushed myself up, trembling from the cold. "I never even touched Sabrina. She was the one who dragged me into the pool. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance footage."Sabrina's face blanched as her eyes darted to the corner where the surveillance camera hung. Clearly, she had been too busy trading barbs to remember that det
