Chapter 1

In my previous life, I married my childhood sweetheart and became the envied Mrs. Williams.Everyone said our relationship was perfect, that he loved me above all else.But in this life, when my father asked who I wanted for my arranged marriage, I answered without hesitation—My childhood sweetheart's brother, Zachary Williams.What I never expected was Leon's reaction when he saw his brother's ring on my finger—he completely lost it.—"Leon, your little childhood sweetheart is here again!" Leon's friend announced at his birthday party when they spotted me, his face full of mischief.Several of them shouted at me:"Hey, little sweetheart, you've been chasing after Leon for over ten years now. Are you really that into him?""I heard your computer wallpaper is his photo!""You even name the bacteria in your lab after his initials, don't you?"After that comment, everyone around burst into laughter.Leon took a drag from his cigarette, immediately showing his annoyance. The w

I caught her fixing her smudged lipstick in the rearview mirror. Her neck now adorned with an intricate diamond necklace and two fresh hickeys.When she saw me, she looked up with a bright smile, her diamond necklace sparkling."Aria! Oh, I took the passenger seat. You don't mind, do you?"To their surprise, I walked straight past them to the back seat, sliding into the executive position."No need to ask for my address. It's in your navigation."My smooth move instantly demoted them from lovers to chauffeur and servant.Leon's face darkened as he took a deep breath.On the way, Lucy suddenly let out a gasp.Then, holding a used contraceptive between her fingers, she said in an unmistakably clear voice,"OMG... Leon, the last time we... oh, this is so embarrassing."After saying this, she collapsed against Leon's shoulder like a boneless doll.The car came to a stop. Leon glanced back at me smugly, and seeing my disgusted expression as I opened the door to leave, he hurried

To my shock, the lab's security alarm went off.Right after, Lucy posted on social media again:[My graduate thesis nearly complete! Here I come—a rising star in pharmaceutical development!]The photo showed her in a lab coat, wearing full makeup.Not even wearing a mask, just posing next to a microscope. In her hand was my research journal.The lab alarm continued blaring.On the security feed, the two of them were pressed together on the lab table.Lucy, eyes unfocused, was straddling Leon, her mouth slightly open, moving up and down.My pristine white lab coat that I'd always taken such care with lay on the floor, buttons torn off.Though I already knew Leon didn't love me, seeing years of my hard work being trampled still hurt more than I'd expected.In disbelief, I wiped tears from my face with the back of my hand.I rushed to the lab.Leon and Lucy were kissing passionately on the lab counter.The air had a disgusting, sickening smell."Breaking into a restricted lab

Zachary had always been the star of the Williams family.While Leon was still trudging through college, Zachary had already established his own law firm abroad.He had unmatched connections in town, and the Williams family business owed much of its success to him.In my previous life, I only saw him once at my wedding, with no other interaction between us.As I recalled, he remained unmarried until my death in that life.The moment Zachary appeared, even their father, Ben Williams, beamed with pride.Everyone's attention turned to him, yet his gaze immediately locked onto me, his voice deep and pleased."Sorry to keep you waiting."Though clearly addressed to everyone, the words left my mouth suddenly dry.Leon responded with a casual "Not at all," before his father pushed him aside."Don't be rude. Your brother's here and you're taking his seat. Move over."Leon stepped aside automatically, but as he watched his brother take the head seat and begin serving me food, his expr

Leon's eyes reddened at my words, as if he were the one being wronged."You're lying. In your past life, you even gave your life for me..."He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth,"Fine, fine, fine. I'll have an engagement ceremony with you too, okay?"I can make our marriage public. That should satisfy you, right? Answer me!"I laughed bitterly, but before I could speak, he crushed his lips against mine.The smell of alcohol filled my nostrils, making my stomach cramp painfully as nausea rose in my throat.Suddenly, the pressure vanished.Leon was being lifted by the scruff of his neck by another tall figure, like a monkey being picked up, then kicked to the ground with a thud.His expensive suit slid far across the smooth marble floor until he hit the wall."Who gave you permission to touch my fiancée?"Zachary's voice was like the calm before a storm, making Leon shudder.Yet Leon stubbornly held his brother's gaze.“Zach, don't let her f

I stumbled from the force of the push, and when I regained my balance, I saw Lucy had arrived.Unlike her pure white dress, her face displayed hysterical rage."What right do you have to steal my man!"I lost to you in my past life—how could I lose to you again in this one?"Have you been seducing Leon?!"Her eyes blazed red as she raised her hand, but the slap landed squarely on her beloved "Leon's" face instead.The crisp sound echoed through the air.A ridiculous handprint immediately appeared on Leon's handsome face.Leon narrowed his eyes, gripping her wrist tightly."Who told you to come disturb Aria?"Lucy's eyes immediately filled with tears, disbelieving."Leon?""Get out!"Her precious Leon threw her hand aside and strode toward me.As she tried to follow, she missed a step and tumbled down the stairs.The atmosphere instantly froze like ice, and even the violinist forgot to play.A pool of alarming blood spread beneath the fragile, helpless woman lying on the

He stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe. I had no idea how long he'd been quietly watching me.When I finally paused and noticed him, I felt a little awkward."How long have you been there?"Why didn't you say something?"I was captivated by how focused you were. Couldn't bring myself to interrupt."He looked almost intimidating with his neutral expression, but when he smiled, it was like winter snow melting—radiant and warm.The elite lawyer always managed to make my cheeks burn with just a few words.So matter-of-fact when saying such sweet things.Did I really look worth staring at for so long—in my lab coat, messy hair, and not a trace of makeup?His smile widened, as if he'd read my thoughts, and he murmured, "Yes, beautiful."My face grew even hotter.Stepping out, I noticed the lunch containers on the lab table.I looked at him in surprise. "You brought these?"He followed me out, carefully closing the isolation door to the lab before moving to

Zachary's eyes momentarily darkened completely, as if intense emotions had been swallowed by an abyss."Are you hurt?"Why are you crying?"Where does it hurt?"He was frantic with worry, carefully examining every inch of me.But all I could see was his arm, skin exposed where the acid had burned through.Tears spilled from my eyes.—Two years later.Leon was released from prison, and the Williams family immediately sent him abroad. He vanished completely from our town's social circles.In this lifetime, he never got the chance to use my drug. He would never father a child.They said after two years in prison, he'd lost a considerable amount of weight. Inside, his arrogant attitude had earned him plenty of suffering.Several gang leaders had lined up to "teach him manners."As for Zachary, he shifted his work focus to the domestic market, quickly establishing a branch office in town and securing his place in the legal field.I was pregnant, my belly growing larger each d
