Chapter 1

“Bang!” “Argh!” A gunshot ripped through the night, followed by a woman’s chilling scream.Kelsey Young’s eyes widened in disbelief as a man stood before her, shielding her from harm. “Tyler, why did you—” Why was he the one who came to save her? Kelsey had always seen Tyler Lang as the enemy. Revenge was the only thing keeping her by his side. She was determined to bring down the Langs. Yet now, Tyler took a bullet for her. “Run!” Gritting through the pain, Tyler hissed.However, another shot rang out. Kelsey watched him take another bullet to the back. The air was thick with the stench of blood. That was when Cooper Lyon surrounded them with a dozen men in black. “I bet you didn’t see this coming, Tyler.” Cooper sneered with a gun pointed at Kelsey and Tyler. Tyler’s emotionless eyes met Cooper’s. “Let Kels go.” Cooper curled his lips mockingly. “You are in no position to make demands.” Kelsey could not believe her eyes. “Um… Cooper. What’s going o

Chapter 2

It was Tyler. The heart-stopping face and sculpted physique belonged to Abervale’s most powerful and good-looking man. Tyler was once Kelsey’s fiancé and the man who risked his life to save hers. To think she had a second chance in life, and the person she opened her eyes to was him. Kelsey stared straight at the man before her, emotions sweeping through her. “Fancy another go?” Tyler’s amused voice interrupted her thoughts. His imposing figure loomed close, his gaze drilling into hers. Kelsey then noticed that he was unclothed. She appeared to be in her birthday suit too. “Ah!” She exclaimed. It dawned on her that they just had their first intimacy. She had traveled back in time to when they first slept together. Tight muscles rippled across his bare, sun-kissed chest which now bore traces of last night’s passion. She left those scratches on him last night amid her struggle. “What’s that supposed to mean? Didn’t you see me with nothing on last night?” Lo

With lightning reflexes, Tyler held the elevator door before the closing mechanism clamped shut on Kelsey’s arm. His gesture gave Kelsey renewed hope. She knew he still cared about her. In her last life, Tyler was the devil incarnate to the public, but he always had a soft spot for her. “What do you want, Kelsey?” Pinning her against the elevator wall, Tyler questioned brutally. He had already given her what she wanted and promised to stay away. Apparently, that was not enough. Tyler wondered what it would take to finally please her.Kelsey looked up and took in his furious grimace, his teeth bare and gritted. She asked, “Do you want to marry me?” Tyler was taken aback at first, but his flawless face soon scowled. The damn woman knew exactly what buttons to push. “It’s my birthday next month,” without much explanation to offer, Kelsey merely looked at him and said. “If you want to marry me, pop the question at my birthday party.” Tyler’s eyes lit up, but the sp

“I’ll… kill Cooper!” Bloodthirst fleeted across Tyler’s eyes. To his surprise, Kelsey simply shrugged nonchalantly. “Then kill him.” In her last life, Cooper lied, manipulated, and finally brutally murdered her. Cooper was horrifically heartless. Kelsey could not wait to tear the brutal man apart with her bare hands. Tyler narrowed his eyes in disbelief. “What did you say?” Kelsey replied aloofly, “Go ahead and kill him. Don’t let me be the reason you hold back.” If personal revenge was not the ultimate goal, she would unleash Tyler on Cooper right that instance. Tyler’s gaze fixed on her indifferent face. His thoughts were once again confirmed that Kelsey was different than before. … Tyler’s Rolls Royce pulled up outside the Youngs’ residence. “Bye now.” Kelsey glanced out the car window, ready to get off. As her hand reached for the door handle, Tyler grabbed her by the wrist. Before Kelsey knew it, Tyler held her down on the cushion of the back seat.

Chapter 5

Megan, no stranger to such things, knew the marks for what they were – hickeys.“I thought you were engaged to Tyler, Kelsey. Why are you still going out with other men?” Megan raised her voice to bring the matter to Charlie’s attention. Sure enough, Charlie grimaced. Kelsey snapped back, “I can say the same thing about you. My mom is alive and kicking, but you and your daughter act like you own the place.” “You!” Megan gave Charlie an embarrassed and hurt look. “I think I should just move out, Charlie.” “Bye now. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!” Kelsey waved her arm crudely. Megan froze. She only said that to tug at Charlie’s heartstrings, not to actually leave. The opportunity to move into the place was hard to come by. Megan could not possibly back out before she could assume the role of the lady of the house. “Shut up!” Charlie yelled at Kelsey. “Don’t get ahead of yourself.” He stared at the red marks along her neck and pressed solemnly, “Tell m

Chapter 6

“Kels…” A frantic voice belonging to a man was heard. Before Kelsey knew it, a disheveled man stumbled toward her. It was Cooper. Covered in bloodstains and tattered clothes, he appeared roughened up and distressed. Despite his shoddy appearance, he retained his good looks and forlorn nature. Kelsey had to admit that even at his worst, Cooper had the package to sweep women off their feet.She was once attracted by his rough-hewn appeal. Kelsey sympathized with him, drew close to him, and tried to help him. Cooper, in turn, manipulated, hurt, and even killed her. She would not make the same mistakes again. Kelsey could not shake off the resentment as she stared at the man before her. “What are you doing here?” She asked with a frown. Cooper narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the hickeys along her neck. He clenched his fists. “You have been through a lot for me, Kels.” Kelsey rolled her eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself. I did it of my free will.” It was

Chapter 7

“Don’t you dare!” Charlie yelled furiously. “If you don’t clear the air with Tyler, you can forget ever coming home again.” Kelsey could care less about being part of the family anymore. Still, now that she was given a fresh start in life, she needed to sort out the adversaries in the family. “Alright. I’ll take your advice and meet with Tyler.” Kelsey made a resigned face and shrugged. “But…” She paused. Charlie pressed, “But what?” “But who am I to see Tyler?” Kelsey asked. Charlie replied without hesitation, “You’re the heiress of the Youngs, Tyler’s fiancée.” Kelsey could forget about breaking off the marriage alliance with the Langs on Charlie’s watch. She batted her eyelashes innocently. “The heiress of the Youngs? I thought you wanted to disown me.” “You…” Charlie was rendered speechless. That was talk in the heat of the moment. Charlie’s intention was to make her go through the wedding with Tyler instead of frolicking around with Cooper. Kelsey hung

Chapter 8

Josephine shrieked when she found Kelsey trashing her room. “These designer clothes are well over $100,000. Mom and Dad bought these limited-edition accessories from abroad for me too.” Josephine’s heart ached as she gathered her expensive garments and valuables from the floor. If only she could make Kelsey pay. Kelsey glanced at her indifferently. “So what? Dad said I could move back. I have no use for your trash, so it deserves to be dumped.” Josephine glared at her in disbelief. “Trash? Kelsey, you have no idea the value—” Before she could finish, Kelsey grabbed a music box on the table and flung it back. The article somehow struck Josephine in the head. “Ouch…” Josephine furrowed her brows in agony. She reached out to feel her forehead, only to find herself bleeding. The music box dropped to the ground with a thud, shattering to pieces in the fall. “You have gone too far, Kelsey!” Josephine yelled at Kelsey, “Don’t you know that the music box was a gift fro

Chapter 9

Kelsey pouted. “I called him, but he didn’t pick up.” Truth be told, Kelsey had been trying Tyler’s phone since last night. She wanted to explain to him. However, Tyler refused to take her calls. He must be furious this time. Left with no choice, Kelsey had to seek him out at his office. The receptionist made a face upon the revelation. Her attitude underwent a 180-degree change.“Since Mr. Lang won’t take your calls, you should leave.” The receptionist brushed Kelsey off. She associated Kelsey with all the women who pursued the CEO aggressively. The receptionist was no stranger to women requesting private meetings with Tyler.Without exceptions, the security officers would escort these women out of the premises. The CEO would not meet Kelsey for sure. “I have an emergency. Can you work something out?” Kelsey tried to keep a smiling face. “I can’t let you through without an appointment. Rules are rules,” the receptionist said firmly. Kelsey hesitated for a mome

Chapter 10

“Why are you still here? See that? That’s the CEO’s girlfriend. You should leave now,” with Kelsey standing there, the receptionist said in an unfriendly manner. “Girlfriend? Zara?” Kelsey pressed. She had no idea that Zara was Tyler’s girlfriend. “That’s what everybody’s saying anyway. I’m sure the CEO will pop the question to Ms. Quest soon.” The receptionist looked at Kelsey in disdain. “Just because you’re pretty, you think you can hit on the CEO. Well, fat chance.” Kelsey intended to leave since Tyler did not want to see her. However, Kelsey ran into Zara in the lobby. Rumors had it that Zara was Tyler’s girlfriend, and to make matters worse, Zara possessed the necklace left behind by his parents. Kelsey could not walk away from that. She had to meet Tyler that day itself. Kelsey needed to ask Tyler what was going on between him and Zara. They had talked things out at the hotel, and the engagement was still on. He was supposed to propose to her. Yet, Tyler s
