Chapter 1

After walking out of the living room, Rowan Blackwood looked at Lyra Whitmore affectionately. The moment he noticed me stepping out, he instantly became wary, shielding Lyra behind his back. "Why are you following us? Don't think I'll choose you just because you're pretending to be pitiful now. My fiancee can only be Lyra; a malicious woman like you isn't even worthy of carrying Lyra's shoes. In fact, you belong with my older brother, whose days are numbered!"The moment the words left his mouth, he shoved me away with brute force. Caught entirely off guard, I staggered and fell onto the cold floor. A sharp pain shot through my elbow. Yet, he didn't even spare me a single glance. Holding Lyra close as she nestled in his arms, he left without a backward glance. Propping myself up against the ground, I attempted to stand. Just then, someone came to a slow halt right in front of me. I lifted my head and met the pale yet gentle face of Adrian Blackwood, Rowan's elder brother. I di

I was well aware of what Agnes had left unsaid. Lyra was currently basking in Rowan's favoritism, just as I did in my past life. She looked glamorous and enviable, but she was nothing more than a caged canary. Meanwhile, here I was, washing herbs with jagged thorns until my hands were bloodied and raw.Once, catching sight of the bloody tint in the basin where I was washing the medicinal herbs, Cyrus fell silent for a moment before inquiring, "Do you want to take a break?"I shook my head. "No, thank you," I responded.I truly meant it. Even though it was exhausting, it was worth it. Adrian might have been quiet and cold, but he never stopped me from doing what I wanted. To my surprise, during dinner that day, I stared at Adrian's Ivy League graduation certificate for a long time. The very next day, Adrian had Cyrus come and ask me whether I still wanted to pursue my education. I stiffened. I recalled how, in my previous life, whenever I wanted to study, Rowan would always sco

Rowan immediately crouched down to check on her. "Where does it hurt? Let me see!"He carefully inspected her calf, which did not even have a single red mark on it. Yet, he snapped his head up, and a furious fire blazed in his eyes. "Sylvia, you did this on purpose! Not only did you bump into Lyra with these stupid books, but you also dared to hurt her? How could you be so malicious? Is it because Lyra is my fiancee now, and you're absolutely nothing?"I gaped at Lyra, at the woman who had come to the Blackwood family from the orphanage with me. After depending on each other for so many years, I had never imagined she would use this kind of method to frame me."Lyra—" My voice trembled. "I know you're upset, Sylvia," Lyra cut me off timidly, shrinking behind Rowan. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't be with Ro. Please don't be mad at me, and please don't throw books at me anymore..."Those manipulative words solidified my jealousy and malice."Why are you wasting your brea

The group froze in their tracks and turned around. The man with a scar on his face sized me up and sneered. "You've called the cops? Who do you think you're scaring, you little brat?"He violently kicked the trash can beside him. "Even ghosts don't come to this hellhole!"My lie was exposed in an instant."Sylvia!" Lyra cried out when she saw me. "Save us!"I had no time to worry about her. My eyes were fixed on Adrian, whose arms were pinned behind his back by two men. A thin trail of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was ragged. Obviously, he had tried to fight back and had been beaten. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with an unreadable emotion. "Hang on. I'll save you!" I yelled at him. I swung the baton wildly, striking at the man closest to me. "Crap! You asked for this!" The man dodged the swing effortlessly, ripped the baton right out of my hands, and slapped me hard across the face.My vision went black, and I staggered before collapsin

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance of the alley. "Stop right there!"I forced my head up and saw Cyrus rushing in with a group of black-clad bodyguards. They swiftly subdued the kidnappers. The man with a scar on his face was pinned to the ground, yet he still refused to give up. He looked at Rowan and rasped, "Mr. Rowan, didn't you tell me—""Shut up!" Rowan cut him off sharply as his expression changed drastically. Cyrus scanned the scene. The moment he noticed the battered, bloody state Adrian and I were in, his gaze hardened. He immediately gestured for the doctors who had come with him to step forward and treat us. Then, he turned to Rowan. "Mr. Rowan, if Mr. Julian learns about what happened today, I'm afraid he'll be very displeased."Rowan sneered, "Cyrus, are you trying to use my father to pressure me?""I wouldn't dare," Cyrus responded calmly. "However, Mr. Adrian is your elder brother, after all, and Ms. Laurent is now your sister-in-law. No mat

"Quickly, drive Mr. Adrian and Ms. Laurent home!" Cyrus hurriedly ordered the bodyguards. "Have the doctor wait at the annex!"On the way home, Adrian held my hand the entire time. His hand was cold, but his grip was firm. "Why did you come?" he asked in a low voice. "How did you know something would happen to me?"I leaned against the back seat, and my body ached all over. Yet, I felt safer than I ever had before. "I figured… Before I headed out, I told Cyrus that something might happen today and asked him to keep a close eye on your whereabouts."Adrian was silent for a moment before he sighed softly. "You're very smart."My consciousness began to blur. Then, I heard a deep, crisp voice ring out next to my ear. "I won't let anyone hurt you again."…After that attempted kidnapping, Adrian and I grew much closer. He was still a man of few words, but the way he looked at me was warmer than before. He began to allow me to participate in more things. Yet, I could vaguely feel

Chapter 7

After the funeral, Rowan completely dropped his act. Asserting himself more aggressively than ever before, he wasted no time taking command of most of the affairs and resources Adrian had left behind. He began to frequent the group headquarters, wining and dining the old board members while freezing out anyone who dared oppose him.Adrian's death had practically paved the way for him, removing his very last hurdle. It was obvious he had been scheming for this for ages. A new era had dawned on the Blackwood family. Barely a month had passed before Rowan, backed by a majority of the group's shareholders, openly turned on Mr. Julian at a board meeting. Using excuses that Mr. Julian was advanced in years, devastated by the loss of his beloved son, and no longer mentally fit, Rowan demanded that his father step down from his position as chairman of the group so that he could take over. The air in the conference room was thick with tension. Mr. Julian trembled with rage as he looked

I smiled. Then, I turned to look at Lyra, whose expression had gone tense. However, I had no intention of exposing her. For his so-called choice and his undying affection were things I deemed worthless. "Is that so?" I asked flatly. "In that case… I hope you both get what you desire. May you stay locked together for the rest of your miserable lives!"My reaction completely infuriated Rowan. "Sylvia Laurent!" he snapped, dropping all pretenses. "Don't push your luck! I'm the head of the Blackwood family now. If I want to crush you, it's easier than crushing an ant! You—""Oh? Is that so?" Just then, a cool, indifferent voice drifted from the doorway. "I would certainly like to know how you plan to crush my fiancee."Everyone was frozen in place. In the very next moment, they snapped their heads around to look at the entrance of the conference room. The anger and arrogance on Rowan's face froze in a heartbeat.There, right at the entrance, backlit by the light, a lean but comma

Chapter 9

At that moment, Mr. Julian could no longer hold himself back. Trembling, he rose to his feet and pointed at Rowan before choking out, "You fool! Even now, you still refuse to see the truth! Why do you think I favored Adrian all these years? Do you think it was only because he's my eldest son?"Mr. Julian's voice cracked with anger and sorrow. "It's because your life belongs to your brother! In that fire all those years ago, the person who charged into the flames and carried you out on his back wasn't Lyra; it was Adrian!""What?" Rowan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He whipped his head toward Adrian, then toward Lyra beside him, whose face had gone deathly pale. "That's impossible! It was obviously Lyra who…""When he rescued you, he inhaled a massive amount of smoke, causing permanent damage to his respiratory tract and lungs! He almost collapsed and died himself!" Mr. Julian's voice rose, carrying the crushing weight of a grief he had kept buried for years.

"The one I liked has always been you. But I realized it too late, didn't I?" Rowan asked."When I saw you throw yourself toward Adrian without a second thought, using your body to shield him, I knew… I had missed my chance. I had completely lost you."I listened quietly, without a single ripple of emotion in my heart. "That's all in the past now, Rowan."He stared long and hard at me. After a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, he slowly rose to his feet. "I'll give up all inheritance rights to the Blackwood family," he announced. "I've already spoken to Father and Adrian."My brows drew together. He continued, "I've decided to become a priest. I'll atone for the sins I committed in my last life and this one. I'll never come back."His decision was somewhat beyond my expectations, but I didn't speak up to dissuade him. This was the path he had chosen. This was his repentance. He slowly walked up to me and looked at me. His eyes were filled with unreadable emotions. U
