    Elizabeth's POVThe dermatologist I had been waiting for finally arrived at the villa. As the anesthesia set in, my vision turned hazy and unfocused. I watched her yank off her mask, exposing a face warped by pure, unhinged rage.It was Louise. She lifted a scalpel and aimed it straight at my throat. "Surprise, Elizabeth! You thought you won, didn't you? Even if my life is completely ruined, you don't get to live happily ever after either!"I desperately wanted to call for help, but my body had been stripped of all strength. Just as the blade came plunging down, a man threw himself over me.The scalpel sank into his flesh, sending warm blood splattering across my skin. He raised his hand, carefully wiping the blood from his lips."Liz, I really wish I could turn back time," he said gently. "When they bullied you back then, I would've stepped in and protected you—just like I'm doing now."My face went pale, and I called to him in a strained, hoarse voice, "Owen…"Louise, meanwhil

I stayed home, waiting for my scheduled appointment with the cosmetic dermatologist.The doorbell rang, and I went to answer it. But it wasn't the dermatologist standing at the door—it was Owen.Before I could react, he pinned me against the wall, frantically sinking his teeth into the hickeys on my neck.I slapped him across the face, my entire body shaking with rage. "Owen, you lunatic!"His eyes were bloodshot. "Are you happy with him? Answer me! You have no idea how much I miss you every single day. I can't even sleep at night because of you!"I tried my best to push him away, but I was no match for his strength. Left with no choice, I bit down hard on his shoulder. "You should have known we'd end up like this the moment you decided to mess with me, Owen."His fist hit the wall with a weak thud. He rolled up his sleeve, revealing the burn marks that ran along his arm. "Look, there are 31

    Elizabeth's POVThe wedding reception had just wrapped up. I was making the rounds, lifting a glass to each of the guests.A commotion suddenly erupted near the entrance. Looking up, I saw Owen forcefully kick aside the waiter who was blocking his way.The moment our eyes met, he froze. "Elizabeth, don't you owe me an explanation? You tricked me into coming to this wedding just to make a complete fool out of me!"Tell me—how could you possibly marry him?"I slowly set my glass down and stepped forward. My voice was steady and composed. "It wasn't really a trick, was it? Haven't I been saying all along that I was getting married this week?"You're the one who never believed me."Owen stumbled back in disbelief, his whole body trembling. "I thought—""You thought what? That I had no choice but to marry you?"Owen, you saw the scars on my body with your own eyes, yet you still turned your back on me and went on helping Louise."Besides, the two of you had already planned to humi

It wasn't until an international exchange program that I met her for the very first time.She spoke fluently, presenting her arguments with calm, composed confidence. I was completely captivated. I wanted to go up to her for a quick chat once her presentation was over.But in that instant, my eyes shifted to the name tag she was wearing. She was the same person who had stolen Louise's spot.When Louise heard about this, she was over the moon and immediately began making preparations. "Owen, you should go make a move on her! The way she dug her heels in and refused to apologize earlier was just pathetic. It made me sick to my stomach."I want to see if she can still stay that calm and composed once she finds out her boyfriend has been de
