Roxanne's POVWhen I exited the chapel, I saw Stefano in the car, smoking a cigar and looking over contracts. Upon seeing me come out, he put out the cigar and got out of the car.He handed me the wedding ring, saying, "Put it on yourself."I took it and put it straight into my pocket. I smiled faintly at him as I said, "I won't wear it just yet."Stefano frowned. "Haven't you always wanted to wear a wedding ring? You even want me to put it on for you?"I subconsciously tightened my grip on the ring.In my previous life, Stefano's parents forced him to put the wedding ring on my finger. At the time, he looked unwilling, but I was so lost in the joy of marrying him that I didn't notice."That's not what I meant. I'm very happy that I married you. It doesn't matter when I wear it."Stefano laughed coldly, then snatched the ring and grabbed my left hand. Without a word, he shoved the ring onto my ring finger."Don't use this to bother me again," he said flatly.Just as soon as t

Roxanne's POVThere was still one last regret, and it should be happening soon.I remembered that in my past life, Lucia was caught in a car explosion. She had lost too much blood, and by the time she was sent to the hospital, it was too late. She had died.But this had all happened a month after Stefano and I got married.…That evening, as I was packing my things, a call came in. Stefano's voice was low, tinged with displeasure toward me."What's the meaning of this, Roxanne? You got out of the car by yourself. And then you ran to my parents, saying it's Lucia's fault?""What are you talking about?" I asked, confused."If you hadn't gone back and complained to them, they wouldn't have called and yelled at Lucia! Then she wouldn't have been so distracted that she didn't notice someone had planted a bomb in her car!"My mind went blank for a moment. How could this incident have been moved up to today?I didn't say anything further. I just hung up the phone and went straight t

Third-Person POVLucia's voice was provocative and vicious on the other end of the line."If you're really capable, then you'd make Stefano stop contacting me. But you can't control him. He doesn't love Roxanne either. The moment anything happens to me, he comes running to my side."Maria's voice shook with anger as she shot back, "Do you think I won't tell him all about your dirty deeds?""Even if you tell Stefano, he won't believe you. Don't worry, I won't marry him. Sure, he can still live his life with Roxanne, but whenever I need him, you won't be able to stop him."Right now, I'm the one playing him."By this point, Maria was trembling with rage. She threw her phone to the floor."Did you hear that? That's the kind of person she is! Losing a lady as wonderful as Roxanne is your loss."If Roxanne hadn't stopped me, I would've exposed every one of Lucia's filthy deeds a long time ago. She kept telling me not to say anything. She wanted to help Lucia herself."There's nothi

Roxanne's POVBefore I was reborn, I already knew that my time was limited. Once I resolved Stefano's regrets, I would return to my own world.The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself still at the bottom of the sea. All I could see was pitch-black darkness as seawater flooded my nose.People all around were shouting my name, and the onlookers on the shore weren't indifferent either. They were all reaching out and straining in my direction.Just as I closed my eyes, a familiar face swam toward me. He wrapped me in his arms and pulled me up.…When I woke again, I found that I had returned eight years into the future, to the day after I had been pushed into the sea.I didn't know why, but a huge flood of strange memories suddenly appeared in my mind. One of them was a memory from eight years ago.Stefano had gotten into a car accident while driving me to the hospital. Before the car went up in flames, he pulled me out and carried me on his back the rest of the way. Only then d
