Chapter 1

Elizabeth's POV"I'm hanging up now. I still have an anniversary to celebrate."On the other side of the call, Louise McCoy was clearly caught off guard. "You're not going to break up with her?""And why would I? So I can be with you? You're getting married soon, for goodness' sake."Annoyed, Owen Mercer ended the call. He took the cake out of the box and carefully placed it in the center.As though nothing had happened, he lit the candles and waved me over. "Liz, come make a wish."My entire body went numb as I stared into his eyes. They remained perfectly calm, with not a single trace of guilt or remorse."Was it really fun lying to me for so long?"The smile on Owen's face slowly faded. "I wouldn't exactly call it lying. I was willing to lose to her just to set the record straight. I didn't want anything to destroy what we have. Doesn't that prove how much you mean to me?"Besides, we're just not legally married yet. I never said I wanted to leave you."Seven candles stood

Chapter 2

Elizabeth's POV"Elizabeth, do you really have to dig your heels in over something this trivial?"With that, Owen slammed the door and left.I sat calmly on the couch, unwrapping the layers of bandage from around my skin and replacing them with a fresh plaster.I should have realized long ago that Owen and I belonged to completely different worlds. He didn't even know how to properly bandage a wound.This was the same man who couldn't even make instant pasta without ruining it. Yet tonight, he had taken charge of the entire candlelight dinner, claiming he wanted to cook something delicious for me.Imported Auserian ribeye steaks, a bottle of estate-cellared Chardonnay, and a custom cake prepared by a private chef—there was no doubt he had the entire spread delivered from an upscale restaurant. Even the candles, as trivial as they seemed, were from a luxury fragrance brand.With a careless flip of the table, Owen had sent items worth three months of my salary crashing to the floo

Chapter 3

Elizabeth's POVI got into the cab and gave the driver my destination. He glanced back at the dilapidated neighborhood before giving me a knowing wink. "Miss, you're moving somewhere much nicer, aren't you?"After briefly looking out the window, I returned my attention to the messages on my phone. "Yeah, I'm moving in with my fiance to prepare for our wedding.""Wow, congratulations! People living in that neighborhood are all big shots."I didn't respond. Instead, I made a few adjustments to the itinerary sent by the wedding coordinator before forwarding it back.After getting out of the car, I pulled my suitcase along and wandered through the gated community for a while.Then came the sudden screech of brakes behind me, followed by an angry voice. "Elizabeth, how do you know I live here? Have you been investigating me?"Seeing my suitcase only made Owen even more furious. "I can't believe you actually had the guts to come here and demand a title from my parents. Are you insane?

Chapter 4

Elizabeth's POVI didn't know where Owen lived, so my only option was to dig through Louise's social media accounts.She was beautiful, came from a wealthy family, and had a massive following on Instagram. Her page had always focused on beauty content, but today, she suddenly posted a rant video."Babes, this is absolutely hilarious! I've never seen a woman this desperate to throw herself at a man!"If I hadn't paid good money to get her wedding schedule, my childhood sweetheart would've never believed she was already preparing everything on her own!"The longer I stared at Louise's face, the sicker I felt. I quickly went through the locations she had tagged and eventually found Owen at a club they frequently visited.The moment I stepped out of the elevator, Louise's over-the-top laughter reached my ears."When the time comes, I'll live-stream the whole wedding. Owen, don't you dare show up. Let her stand there and humiliate herself."Another woman spoke up hesitantly, her voi

Chapter 5

Elizabeth's POVWhat appeared on the screen wasn't a carefully prepared montage of romantic memories. Instead, it showed Louise in her high school uniform, wearing an expression of pure arrogance."Elizabeth, you went to the teacher and reported me for bullying you, huh? How could you say that? We were just fooling around like classmates do!"On screen, a teenage girl with bruised cheeks was pinned against the restroom sink. Her eyes, however, stayed bright and defiant.As the hot curling iron pressed against her hand, she bit her lip hard, determined not to make a sound. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.Owen's heart clenched. "Liz."He never knew the sheer brutality of what I had gone through in high school. All he remembered was me jolting awake from nightmares, my delicate back shaking beneath his palms. My teeth would chatter so violently that I couldn't articulate a single word.He had never thought to ask me what had truly happened. Instead, he kept offering the

Chapter 6

Owen's POVI had been studying abroad throughout high school. Everything I knew about that time came entirely from Louise's mouth, painting a picture of a female classmate who constantly targeted and bullied her.Her name was Elizabeth Greenfield. It wasn't until an international exchange program that I met her for the very first time.She spoke fluently, presenting her arguments with calm, composed confidence. I was completely captivated. I wanted to go up to her for a quick chat once her presentation was over.But in that instant, my eyes shifted to the name tag she was wearing. She was the same person who had stolen Louise's spot.When Louise heard about this, she was over the moon and immediately began making preparations. "Owen, you should go make a move on her! The way she dug her heels in and refused to apologize earlier was just pathetic. It made me sick to my stomach."I want to see if she can still stay that calm and composed once she finds out her boyfriend has been de

Chapter 7

Elizabeth's POVThe wedding reception had just wrapped up. I was making the rounds, lifting a glass to each of the guests.A commotion suddenly erupted near the entrance. Looking up, I saw Owen forcefully kick aside the waiter who was blocking his way.The moment our eyes met, he froze. "Elizabeth, don't you owe me an explanation? You tricked me into coming to this wedding just to make a complete fool out of me!"Tell me—how could you possibly marry him?"I slowly set my glass down and stepped forward. My voice was steady and composed. "It wasn't really a trick, was it? Haven't I been saying all along that I was getting married this week?"You're the one who never believed me."Owen stumbled back in disbelief, his whole body trembling. "I thought—""You thought what? That I had no choice but to marry you?"Owen, you saw the scars on my body with your own eyes, yet you still turned your back on me and went on helping Louise."Besides, the two of you had already planned to humi

Chapter 8

Elizabeth's POVBack then, I had only just begun my new job when a severe pollen allergy landed me in the hospital.What I didn't realize then was that two people had come to see me that day. Aside from Owen, there was his uncle—Mark.He was the head of the company I had just joined. It was his first real success after breaking away from the Mercer family to build something of his own.He had been in the middle of a meeting when I suddenly collapsed from an allergic reaction. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he saw Owen carrying me into the hospital.Mark understood his nephew's nature all too well. After all, Owen's days were spent orbiting the McCoy family's daughter, Louise.He had even gone so far as to steal confidential company information and pass it to her, all to help finance her family's business. For Owen, he would willingly burn the whole world down just to please her.Yet there he was, carrying a completely different woman in his arms. Driven by curios

Chapter 9

Elizabeth's POVWith our honeymoon behind us, Mark kissed me goodbye and left for work. I stayed home, waiting for my scheduled appointment with the cosmetic dermatologist.The doorbell rang, and I went to answer it. But it wasn't the dermatologist standing at the door—it was Owen.Before I could react, he pinned me against the wall, frantically sinking his teeth into the hickeys on my neck.I slapped him across the face, my entire body shaking with rage. "Owen, you lunatic!"His eyes were bloodshot. "Are you happy with him? Answer me! You have no idea how much I miss you every single day. I can't even sleep at night because of you!"I tried my best to push him away, but I was no match for his strength. Left with no choice, I bit down hard on his shoulder. "You should have known we'd end up like this the moment you decided to mess with me, Owen."His fist hit the wall with a weak thud. He rolled up his sleeve, revealing the burn marks that ran along his arm. "Look, there are 31

Chapter 10

Elizabeth's POVThe dermatologist I had been waiting for finally arrived at the villa. As the anesthesia set in, my vision turned hazy and unfocused. I watched her yank off her mask, exposing a face warped by pure, unhinged rage.It was Louise. She lifted a scalpel and aimed it straight at my throat. "Surprise, Elizabeth! You thought you won, didn't you? Even if my life is completely ruined, you don't get to live happily ever after either!"I desperately wanted to call for help, but my body had been stripped of all strength. Just as the blade came plunging down, a man threw himself over me.The scalpel sank into his flesh, sending warm blood splattering across my skin. He raised his hand, carefully wiping the blood from his lips."Liz, I really wish I could turn back time," he said gently. "When they bullied you back then, I would've stepped in and protected you—just like I'm doing now."My face went pale, and I called to him in a strained, hoarse voice, "Owen…"Louise, meanwhil
