Chapter 1

"Have you made up your mind, Hailey Paltrow?" the system asked. "If you decide to abort the mission now, you won't be allowed to change your mind later."The system sighed, finding it quite a pity. After all, the system had only come about because of my great wish to save Clayton Amos from his terrible ending in the novel. At the time, I had felt so sorry for him and wanted to change his outcome.I pressed my hand against the bleeding wound and felt my vision starting to blur."I've done my best…"Clayton was the main antagonist of this novel. He had grown up in a loveless family, which contributed to his twisted personality. After he turned into an adult, he quickly turned into Gladys Dawson's lapdog and would go to great lengths just to please her. After all, she was the main protagonist of the story.At the end of the novel, he lost all four of his limbs trying to save her and was left alone to rot, living through a fate much worse than death itself.After transmigrating int

Chapter 2

I handed the bag in my hands to Crystal Amos, Clayton's younger sister. She was one of the few people who had treated me with kindness for the past few years."Please burn this dress after I'm gone. I don't deserve to wear this anymore."Crystal accepted the bag from me, the anger showing in her eyes because of how unfairly she thought I was being treated."Clayton's truly gone overboard this time! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind! I'll make sure he gives you a hefty break-up fee before you leave! "Crystal turned to leave in a huff, but I quickly stopped her."There's no need for that anymore."She was well aware of how I'd been treating them both for the past few years, and she committed it to heart. After all, I was the one who had tried to help them improve their relationship and bring them closer to each other.As soon as I was done speaking, Clayton reappeared while pressing against the wound on his arm. His voice was icy-cold as he asked, "Where are you going?"I

Chapter 3

I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I quietly left.I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes anymore. They streamed down my face and dripped onto the floor.I sat in the living room for a long time, staring at the clock and starting a countdown in my head.Luckily, I was about to leave in less than a day, and I would never have to return.A long while later, Gladys carefully made her way downstairs, sporting lips that were a lot redder and more swollen than before.I averted my eyes and pretended not to have noticed a thing.However, Gladys came straight up to me and gave me in-depth instructions."I've finally managed to coax Clays to sleep. Be careful not to wake him up. Also, I won't be able to come very often, so you'd better take good care of him. Don't let him get hurt again."He may have a terrible temper, but he's a good person. If he ever yells at you, you can come looking for me. I'll help you tell him off."She held my hand while looking at me with a gloating expressio

Chapter 4

Sometime in the middle of the night, I looked at my neck in the mirror and couldn't help touching it.It had been a full day, and my injury had been in plain sight, but Clayton never even noticed it. It was as if he were 100% sure that I wouldn't get hurt.It had been quite chaotic that day. The only one who helped me up was Crystal, and she was also the one who brought me to the hospital after."It's been so long. I initially thought that my brother was also in love with you. After all, he's such a private person, but he was willing to invite so many guests to witness the wedding."But you were right next to him, and he still shoved you aside and ran toward Gladys, who was so far away—all to protect her!"I can tell that he doesn't even love you in the slightest!"I had been deathly pale that day, and droplets of blood had stained my wedding dress. However, Clayton never once turned to look at me or check on me. He just kept his arms tightly around Gladys, shielding her from the

Chapter 5

However, Clayton simply refused to take the ring from me. His face turned pale as he said, "You still don't believe that Gigi and I are innocent, do you? Where are you planning to go?"Clayton grabbed hold of me rather forcefully and refused to let go."Clayton, let me go…"His face kept getting closer and closer to me, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Let you go? So that you could leave me? Over my dead body! I'll never let that happen!"Before I could reply, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind me."Clays, I brought you some chicken noodle soup…"Gladys suddenly froze on the spot.I could feel Clayton's grip on my hand loosen, so I quickly freed myself, shaking him off.Gladys sure knew how to appear just at the right time.She quickly recollected herself and brought in a container of food."Clays, I stayed up all night making this food and the soup for you. Have a taste."She then held out her thumb and showed it to Clayton, a pout forming on her lips."Look,

Chapter 6

Clayton froze for a couple of seconds before finally saying, "Then, wait at home for me. I'll be there in a bit. I won't care about her this time."He slid the ring back on my finger as he spoke, and I didn't fight back. He just assumed that I agreed with him.When he turned his back on me, however, I immediately pulled the ring back off and threw it into the trash can outside.I knew that Gladys wouldn't let him off the hook that easily.She would never marry Clayton, but she was extremely possessive of him.As expected, Clayton still hadn't returned home two hours later.The system appeared once more and said, "Hailey, it's time.""Let's go," I replied. "I tried my best to rewrite his fate, but maybe I'm just too powerless to make such a change. Nothing I ever did worked."So, instead of putting up with him, I might as well end my suffering now."I had started reading this novel while I was bored out of my skin one sunny afternoon in college. The sunrays were piercing into m

Chapter 7

Clayton's POVClayton was feeling unsettled, but he didn't know why exactly.The longer he stayed, the more uneasy he felt. Thus, he hurriedly grabbed his coat and decided to go home.Gladys couldn't help herself and stopped him from leaving. "What's the matter?"Clayton didn't want to waste time talking to her. He had already finished all the food that Gladys brought for him, and he just wanted to get home now as quickly as possible. After all, Hailey was still waiting for him there.Feeling restless, he retrieved his phone and pulled up the home surveillance feed, soon realizing that nobody was around. Hailey was gone; not even her shadow remained.Clayton's heart began thumping wildly in his chest. He suddenly felt as though something important was about to leave him.Gladys spoke up, trying to get him to stay."Clays, are you really going to abandon me and leave me alone here? Would you really do that? If so, I'm going straight home right now."Gladys was still confident

Chapter 8

Hailey's POVAfter I returned to my own world, I immediately got rid of my habit of reading novels in my free time.I was so worried that I would develop feelings for the characters in the novels again and end up transmigrating into the novel as the antagonist or some other pitiful character once more.Some time later, I heard one of my friends, Pattie Jensen, bring up that specific novel again. But this time, Clayton's and Gladys' stories had changed.Clayton was madly in love with Gladys at the start of the novel, but only until a new character named Hailey Paltrow appeared.Pattie sighed and said, "Look, the character doesn't just share your name. I think her personality is a lot like yours, too!"I felt my heart squeeze. However, I pretended to be calm about it."That's quite a coincidence. I never thought that I could be a side character in a book."Yet, Pattie kept chirping as she continued reading the novel. Over time, Clayton came to see that what he believed he felt

Chapter 9

I couldn't believe my eyes. I was really looking at Clayton again.The first thing he did to me as soon as we met again was to pick me up from the ground despite my protests. He brought me to a secluded area with nobody else in sight.He held onto both my wrists with one hand and kept repeating some mantra under his breath multiple times.I didn't know what was going on, so I kept struggling against him, trying to shake him off. However, a long time passed, and still, nothing happened.I was still standing there in front of him.Clayton's eyes turned bright red as he yelled into the air, "Why? Why isn't it working? You freaking lied to me!"A voice that sounded a lot like that of my own system spoke up and said, "I told you that it's useless unless she willingly wants to go back with you."I managed to make sense of the situation based on their short conversation with each other. Clayton must have made a pact with his system, giving him a chance to bring me back into his world

Chapter 10

I said nothing in reply. A long while later, Clayton reached into his pocket and retrieved a ring that he had forged again.I took a closer look at it and saw that he even had my name engraved inside the band."It's been three years, and I've been carrying this ring around with me ever since. I told myself that I would slide it back onto your finger if I ever saw you again."I kept regretting the fact that I hadn't been able to sort out my feelings for you back then and forced you to leave me."Lately, I keep recalling the past. Right at the beginning, when I stabbed you near the heart, you never even moved to avoid me. Instead, you kept telling me that you were worried about me."And then, we did a lot of things together. You even insisted on searching for me all day and night after I got into a huge accident during the race. I would have died then if it weren't for you."Tears began falling from his eyes and trickling down his cheek. However, I wasn't fazed in the slightest.
