Chapter 1

A sharp crash rang in my ears, and I opened my eyes wide.A runaway truck had slammed into a luxury car. The car door burst open, and Nicholas stumbled out. His face was pale, and blood seeped from his forehead. Before I could move, Vicky shot forward like an arrow and shoved me aside. She even threw me a wary glance over her shoulder. She knelt beside Nicholas. Her voice trembled with concern. “Sir, are you alright? Does anything hurt?” Then she turned and shouted at me, “Lydia, go to your interview, or you’ll be late! I’ll handle things here! It’s a matter of life and death!” Her face was full of urgency and worry, but I could clearly see the suppressed delight and smugness hiding in her eyes. I knew then that she had been reborn too. I gave her a faint smile. “Fine. I’ll leave it to you.” Vicky froze and glanced back at me. “Why aren’t you helping him? In the last life, you—” Realizing what she had said, she fell silent. I already knew what she meant to say. I s

On my first day at Wells Group, I was assigned to the same project Peter had mentioned during the interview. Peter gave me tremendous authority, almost handing over the core decision-making power to me entirely. Relying on my solid expertise, I moved swiftly and steadily from selecting partners to negotiating terms, then setting the market position for the new brand. Within a month, the project was already showing results. Peter praised me by name three times during the weekly meeting. He said, “Lydia, you were born for this job.” I smiled but said nothing. Yes, I was born for this. In my past life, if not for Nicholas, I would have been standing here instead of being trapped in that gilded cage. While my career soared, Vicky’s social media updates became constant. One day, she was fretting over which shade of platinum handbag to buy at the luxury stores. Then, she showed off the limited-edition sports car Nicholas had gifted her. A day later, she posted an aeri

“Oh, right.” Vicky suddenly took an elegant invitation from her bag and handed it to me. “We’re getting married next month. You have to come. I want you to be my bridesmaid.” She smiled stiffly. “You were my best friend in college. You should come and share my happiness.” I took the crimson invitation and opened it. The wedding was to be held at midnight at the Wells family’s old estate. My fingertips traced those few words. It was such a strange hour. Vicky must have been blinded by her dream of becoming the CEO’s wife, since she thought nothing of it. Midnight was the darkest hour of the night. In my previous life, my wedding had been held at this exact place and this exact time. Back then, I only thought the Wells family had peculiar traditions. It was not until much later that I understood the true meaning of that ceremony. Did she really think what she was holding was an invitation to live happily ever after? I raised my head and met her hopeful gaze. I smi

Vicky’s smile froze. The color drained from her face, and she went pale. “Nicholas…” she whispered. Her voice trembled in fear. “What is going on? Who is he?” Nicholas stepped in front of her and stared coldly. “Joseph is my twin brother who died in a car accident one year ago. “The shaman said he died too young, and his resentment would not dissipate. Therefore, he needs to marry someone to find rest.” His words drove into Vicky like a blade. “When I was on the roadside that day, you saved me. “At that moment, I knew you were the one heaven chose for Joseph.” He lowered his head slightly and leaned toward her ear. “Thank you for becoming my brother’s wife.”The last thread holding Vicky together snapped. She screamed, and her legs gave out. She collapsed to the floor. I stood in the corner of the crowd and watched coldly as two bodyguards hauled her up and dragged her toward the back hall like a log. Her desperate cries and curses echoed through the vast hall,

Two days later, I was in the office reviewing documents for an overseas acquisition when Peter called through the internal line. “Lydia, two men are downstairs asking for you. They said Mr. Wells sent them.” His tone was grave. “I understand, Mr. White.” I calmly closed the file. What was meant to come had finally come. At the company’s reception area, two men in black suits stood waiting while the staff whispered among themselves. One of them stepped forward and inclined his head slightly. “Miss Sterling, Mr. Wells would like to see you.” “Alright.” I picked up my handbag and followed them out without resisting. Once again, the car was headed for the Wells family’s old estate on the outskirts of the city. This time, I was not taken to the banquet hall, but to a hidden chamber concealed behind a rockery. The room had no windows. Black curtains covered the walls, and in the center stood an altar painted with intricate crimson symbols. Nicholas was standing before t

Seeing the look of shock on Nicholas's and the shaman’s faces, I spoke slowly. “Mr. Wells, you have done so much for your brother, but do you truly know what kind of person that brilliant brother of yours, Joseph Wells, really was?” Nicholas’s expression darkened instantly. “What do you mean?” “Nothing much.” I straightened my collar. “I just think it’s rather pathetic to lose your mind over someone who isn’t worth it.” Before he could respond, I turned and walked away. The two bodyguards moved instinctively to stop me, but Nicholas halted them with a single look. He knew force would not work on me. And my words had clearly planted a thorn in his heart. Vicky stared at my back in disbelief and screamed, “Don’t let her go! She’ll ruin us! Kill her! Kill her now!” However, no one paid attention to her hysterical shouting. Once I stepped out of the Wells family estate, I immediately called Peter. “Mr. White, the plan can begin.” I had broken the Wells family’s dark m

The police acted swiftly and launched a formal investigation. Through the surveillance footage and an overnight interrogation of the two intruders, the trail led straight to their employer—Wells Group’s head of security. The officers were stunned when they discovered who was behind it. An inside job? That revelation gave them every reason to dig deeper and enter Wells Group’s headquarters under official authority. At the exact moment the police walked into Wells Group’s building, I sent out another gift that I had long prepared. Anonymously, I contacted several of the country’s most influential investigative outlets and sent them this report: [Wells Group CEO Nicholas Wells is suspected of unlawful imprisonment. Under the pretense of spiritual rituals for good fortune, he has detained multiple young women in a remote estate and subjected them to occult practices.] What I provided was not just words—it included a photo taken through the attic window where Vicky had been

Chapter 8

Once Nicholas’s mental defenses shattered, the Wells family’s filthy secrets could no longer stay buried. For revenge—and to reduce his sentence—he began to talk, dragging down everyone who had ever been involved or even knew the truth. When the court’s final verdict was announced, Marcus Wells and Nicholas were convicted on multiple charges and sentenced to spend the rest of their lives behind bars. Every other accomplice within the family received the punishment they deserved. The once-dominant Wells Group that had ruled the city’s elite circles completely collapsed and vanished into history. As for Vicky, a long time of exposure to dark rituals and the final mental breakdown had left her irreparably damaged. She was sent to a psychiatric hospital. I went to see her once. Behind the thick glass, she sat curled in a corner in her blue-and-white hospital uniform while clutching a pillow to her chest. Her lips kept moving. “I’m Mrs. Wells… Nicholas is coming to pick me u
