All Chapters of Love Isn't Written in the Stars: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Yvonne Lawson! What did you do to me?"I opened my eyes and saw my childhood sweetheart, Zachary York, stumbling to his feet at the side of the bed. His cheeks were flushed.The scene was hauntingly familiar.That was when I realized I had been reborn. This was the very day Zachary and his first love were supposed to elope.In everyone's eyes, Zachary and I were childhood sweethearts, destined to be together. For the ten years we had known each other, he had always treated himself as my fiance.That was until the day I came of age, when he told me he had found the lady he loved. To him, I had only ever been like a sister."Yvonne, this time I won't lay a finger on you. I won't miss Trace again! I've already called her over. Get out!"I met Zachary's cold, resentful gaze and felt my heart skip a beat. Could it be that he had been reborn, too?In my previous life, I chose to let Zachary go when I learned he planned to elope with Tracy Graham. I even proposed to break off the eng

After that day, I never went back to the York residence. I checked into a hotel and waited for Zachary's parents to return so we could dissolve the engagement.But instead of them, a phone call came first."Yve, how could you throw away such a perfect chance? As soon as you and Zach get into bed together, you'll be my daughter-in-law for sure!" Zachary's mother, Josephine Brown, uttered in a sharp voice that screeched through the speaker and grated on my ears.Having been reborn, I finally understood that their kindness toward me had never been genuine.Every time I wanted to give up on Zachary, his parents would go on and on about the sweet memories we shared. They would retell, again and again, how he had risked his life to save me when I was once kidnapped.And because of that rescue, our engagement had been set.When the York family was on the brink of collapse, it was my family, the Lawson family, who stepped in and saved them from ruin.But now, hearing Josephine say such

Instantly, the crowd erupted in whispers, and the faces of the York family grew darker by the second.David uttered in a cold voice, "Yve, don't worry. If Zach did something wrong, just tell us. I'll beat him up later!""Yve, could this all be a misunderstanding?" Josephine's smile stiffened, and her eyes kept darting toward the stairs.I stared at the well-kept woman before me. Once upon a time, I had treated her like my own family. Yet, all that sincerity had gone to waste.I curved my lips in a cold smile and answered, "Misunderstanding or not, take it up with the police.""What? You called the police?""Are you insane? Why would you do that?"David and Josephine, who had been all smiles a moment ago, now looked savage and menacing.Right then, Tracy stepped forward from behind them. Her brows arched in anger as she questioned me, "Yvonne, are you saying Zach tried to force himself on you? Everyone knows you've always been thirsty for him. Even if he did that, wouldn't you s

"Wasn't the waitress someone you arranged? Luckily for me, she spilled that much wine on me. If this piece of clothing is tested, every trace of the drug will show," I said.The policewoman nodded. "If it's true, our team can detect any drug residue on it."Josephine shook her head. "What can a piece of clothing prove? Maybe she sprinkled something on it afterward!"Seeing that she still refused to admit it, I pulled out my phone and played a recording. The crowd went quiet at once as Josephine's and Zachary's voices spilled from the speaker into every ear.Right then, Josephine's knees gave way, and she slumped to the floor.Another officer demanded, "Please come with us."The three members of the York family were all taken away. After that, the bustling birthday party dissolved into a hush of sighs.In the midst of it all, Tracy had already slipped quietly out of the York residence.Meanwhile, my friends took me to the hospital. When we got the test report, we handed it strai
