I was reborn on the very day Tilda Wright and I had to choose husbands.Across the dinner table sat two men, both about the same age. One was Mike Pearson, the older brother who was cold and distant. The other was Phil Pearson, the younger brother, but born out of wedlock. He seemed gentle and easygoing.[This time, I’m gonna make sure I grab the best husband first.]A girl's voice echoed in my head.It was Tilda's voice. I glanced at her, but she hadn't actually spoken. Her eyes were locked on Phil.[I'm definitely gonna steal you away.]Her voice rang in my head again.That was when it hit me. I hadn't just been reborn—I could hear people's thoughts, too. And judging by what she said, Tilda had also been reborn. Otherwise, there was no way she'd be thinking like that.Sure enough, a second later, she walked straight over to Phil and sat beside him, all shy smiles."Hi, I'm Tilda. I really like you," she said sweetly.My father spoke up beside me. "Skye, since Tilda has chos

I had Mike post a picture of us holding hands on his social feed with the caption, [Newly married.]The whole point was to make it look as if our relationship was solid.That was when I noticed his profile was empty. Other than that one post, he hadn't shared a single thing. A guy like him must live a really boring life.That night, he actually slept in the big bed and left me on the couch. It wasn’t exactly gentlemanly, but whatever—I should probably just be grateful.The next morning, Mike woke me up.He was blasting music while doing push-ups, already working out at the crack of dawn.People always said men who weren't interested in sex were impotent and weak, but his eight-pack abs and solid legs looked powerful. It was way more impressive than Phil's body, that was for sure."Quit staring. I'm not interested in you," he said suddenly, pushing himself up from the floor."Get dressed. We're going out for breakfast."It was obvious he meant to show everyone we looked like

Just as Mike was about to agree, I pushed the door open and walked in. I greeted the Ravenlandian man, then picked up the bottle of skincare serum he had developed and turned it over in my hand."I'm a woman, so I know skincare," I said. "This only has whitening ingredients. It doesn't fight wrinkles or early aging. You're an expert in this—you should know better than anyone that whitening is just a gimmick. The effects are barely noticeable. So tell me: What makes this formula worth 600 thousand?"The man froze, caught off guard.Mike leaned back in his chair, clearly entertained, and didn't stop me.That told me he was letting me speak freely. So I grew bolder. "That said, this is an imported product, and you've already built up buzz on social media. People recognize your brand and trust it. So, here's what I'll offer you." I held up two fingers."Two hundred thousand?" he asked, surprised."Jake, 200 thousand is already a very generous offer. Think it over," Mike said, eyes

I realized right away that what I said made Mike misunderstand, so I quickly waved my hands. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just explaining why there was a conflict."He suddenly asked while staring right at me, "Have you ever thought about doing that kind of thing with me?""Of course not," I answered immediately. "I told you, all I want is to rely on you and live a worry-free life.""That's it?"I nodded firmly. He didn't say another word. He just stormed out and slammed the door behind him.I had no idea what I said that upset him. And honestly, I didn't want to know.All I wanted was to carry out my own plan.-The next day, Mike didn't take me with him to the company. Instead, he told me to head to the branch office on my own.So I threw myself into running the branch. My goal was to make about two million dollars and then leave.Day after day, I chased projects, negotiated deals, and brought in big profits for the company. Samantha told me I could just take my

Mike explained, "I already told my mom to set up cameras all over the house. When we caught Phil slipping poison into the drinks, we swapped the poisoned wine with drugged wine instead. That's why the two of them passed out."Then his voice suddenly lowered. "But you seemed really scared that I'd die. Are you in love with me?"For some reason, when he said that, my heart skipped a beat."Of course not," I answered quickly. "I was just afraid that if you died, I wouldn't have anyone left to rely on."He grinned, his smile bright. "Is that so?"-Once Tilda and Phil were locked away in the basement, I finally let out a breath of relief.The two people I feared the most were out of the picture.By now, I'd made enough money. My next step was asking Mike for a divorce.I kept waiting for the right moment, but Mike had been so busy lately that he barely came home. All I could do was bide my time.One day, I overheard a servant saying Phil and Tilda had been begging to see me.I w
