Chapter 1

After leaving Byron Lewis' study, my phone buzzed with a message from Elliot Lewis, telling me to meet him at the clubhouse. As soon as I walked into the room, his friends started teasing me."Just like a puppy, you come running whenever Elliot calls! Wendy, you're so clingy! It's embarrassing for your family.""Two months ago, she hooked up with Elliot at a party when he was drunk, and she got pregnant on purpose! Now, she's scared Elliot will dump her."Elliot, who was sitting in the middle, looked at me with icy eyes."Wendy, are you that desperate to marry me? You just found out you're pregnant yesterday, and today, you're already talking to my dad about marriage. The whole town's buzzing about our upcoming wedding."Don't think you can trap me with this baby. I haven't decided if I want to marry you. If I don't want to, nobody can make me."He looked at me like I was nothing.It was just like my previous life. He never loved me or the baby I was carrying.I took a deep b

When I got home, my mom looked worried and asked if I was really going to marry another. "Wendy, are you really going to marry Joseph? You've always loved Elliot, and now, you're having his baby. Don't make a choice you'll regret just because you're upset."Mom did not know about all the tough times I went through before or how Joseph had come back from overseas in the middle of the night, crying and begging the doctors to save me after I lost my baby and was really sick.It was only then that I realized that Joseph, talented as he was, had not gone abroad because he could not become the Lewis family's Don. He chose to settle abroad out of love for me, heartbroken at the thought of me marrying someone else.Regret swallowed me whole. Thinking back, I looked at Mom, more sure than ever, and nodded."Mom, this is the best decision I've ever made, and I won't regret it."Mom just sighed when she saw how sure I was."Okay. It's funny. Joseph said yes right away when he heard you

Chapter 3

My parents were relieved when they heard about Elliot's outburst at my birthday party. They were happy I had picked Joseph instead. They were so mad that they wanted to confront the Lewis family and give Elliot a piece of their mind, but I stopped them. I had bigger fish to fry.Joseph had given me a super fancy diamond ring. To show him how much I appreciated it, I decided to make his wedding ring myself. I planned to give it to him at a big dinner welcoming him back home. That was also when Byron would tell everyone we were getting married.A week later, I took the ring I made to the Lewis family's place. As I was chatting with the guests before dinner, I realized the ring was gone from my pocket. The security footage showed Sheila picking up the ring from the floor.I was so mad that I was shaking. I barged into Elliot's room, only to see him and Sheila getting cozy on the couch. She had a bunch of presents around her and was playing with my jewelry box.Elliot looked at me li

I turned to see who had come in.Joseph was tall and handsome, with a deep, thoughtful look in his eyes. He caught everyone's attention the moment he walked in. Then, he gave me a warm and gentle smile.Jealousy flickered in Elliot's eyes as he stood up and said anxiously, "My brother's here. Come on, get up and sit by me!"When I did not move, Elliot came over and grabbed my wrist, saying, "I know you're upset about the ring, but I promised to get you a new one, didn't I? You're carrying my child. Don't be mad, or people will laugh at us!"I looked over at Joseph, who was approaching, and shook off Elliot's hand with an icy laugh. "People? Who are you talking about?""Wendy, stop faking it! You're making me so mad! No matter how much you beg, I'm never going to marry you!"Elliot scrunched his forehead in frustration. He was about to say more, but he stopped short when he saw Joseph's name plaque on the seat."Why? Why did Dad make a special name plaque just for him?" He looked

Chapter 5

At Joseph's words, Elliot's frown grew deeper. "What's that supposed to mean?"He glared at Joseph, who was cutting my steak, his face turning red with anger. However, his phone kept ringing, so he could only leave everything behind and rush off.His departure did not mess up what came next. Byron took a deep breath, let go of his anger, and told everyone that Joseph and I were getting married. Everyone gasped. They all thought I was head over heels for Elliot and had even tried really hard to have his baby. However, things were different now. I held Joseph's hand, and we smiled at each other. Right then, Sheila sent me a mean text. [Wendy, see? Even when your wedding's being announced, one call from me and Elliot runs to me. Your fancy family doesn't mean a thing. Elliot never loved you. You're just in the way! And the position of the Lewis family's Donna? It'll be mine!]Was that so? I laughed to myself and blocked Sheila's number. …The next week, Joseph and I got bu

Chapter 6

Elliot and his friends were so stunned that they could not move.Elliot was the most shocked. He gritted his teeth so hard that veins bulged from his forehead. He stared at the host, his voice shaking with rage. "The groom is Joseph? No way! How could you mess this up?"However, Joseph just gave a chilly laugh. He brushed past him, took my hand, and led me to the stage.Elliot's eyes nearly popped out of his head. His mind went blank, and he felt like his blood was on fire! In the next moment, he shoved past his frozen friends, stormed onto the stage, and grabbed my hand. His eyes were wild with fear and worry, a look I had never seen on him before."You can't marry Joseph! Come with me! We're getting out of here and away from this wedding!"Before I could say a word, Byron grew furious and jumped to his feet to yell at Elliot. "Elliot! Let her go! You can be a troublemaker any other day, but not at your brother's wedding. Make another scene and you'll have to answer to me!"Elli

Chapter 7

With memories from a previous life, Elliot was so sure that he would be the next Don and I would be his Donna. However, Byron's words shattered his dream like glass.Joseph looked at him, all serious. "Elliot, I decided to stay overseas for just one reason. It wasn't because I thought I had lost the race to be the heir. It was because I loved Wendy, but she loved you. "However, she's chosen me now. So, face the truth."Elliot's eyes were red, and in his current state, he could not hear a word. He just stared at me, his eyes swirling with strong feelings. "You knew it all along, right? You were never planning to marry me. You knew I wouldn't be the Don. That's why you sat next to my brother at that dinner. Even the wedding ring you designed wasn't meant for me. And that's why you don't care whether I show up to the wedding." I faced him with a blank look. "Elliot, I had told you so many times that I wasn't marrying you and that the wedding had nothing to do with you. You just

Chapter 8

Elliot made a big mistake. Drunk as could be, he ran to my and Joseph's room, banging on the door and yelling my name. However, only a maid walked over to him. She had to hold her nose because he reeked of alcohol. After all, I was on my honeymoon with Joseph. He had planned a laid-back trip as I was pregnant. We had such a memorable and happy time.Love made me glow.When we landed at the airport after our trip was over, I looked even more radiant than on my wedding day. I was so caught up in my happiness that I did not notice Elliot watching Joseph and me from a corner.When I went to the restroom by myself, Elliot, with red eyes and a scruffy face, suddenly appeared. He grabbed me like a madman, then covered my mouth and nose. I passed out.When I woke up, it was already the next night.Elliot had tied my hands and locked me in a dark bedroom with empty bottles all over the floor. Seeing me awake, he got up from the floor, all wobbly. The strong smell of alcohol made me scrun

Chapter 9

I gazed into his tear-filled eyes and said calmly, "Yes, I was reborn, just like you. And I remember everything you did."Elliot's body shook, and his eyes were full of nothing but hopelessness. His tears started to fall. He shook his head slowly, as if he could not believe it. "No... It can't be true! You belong to me, always!"He tried to hug me and kiss me while ignoring my attempts to push him away.Feeling his tears on my face, I was sick and humiliated.Just as he was about to tear off my clothes, the bedroom door burst open."Let her go!"The once dim room filled with light, and a loud bang echoed as a bullet struck Elliot's arm. Joseph stormed in with his team, kicked Elliot aside, and wrapped his arms around me protectively.He glared at Elliot, who was in pain on the floor. His eyes were icy and fierce. "I promised Dad I wouldn't end you, so consider this your last warning. Next time, it'll be much worse."Joseph's men held Elliot down while Joseph picked me up, his v
