In my previous life, my older sister, Chloe Fuller, married Adrian Owens, a rich, aloof man, while I married Ethan Wright, who was sweet and attentive.
He rubbed my feet at banquets and even turned down social engagements to spend every one of my birthdays with me.
Although Chloe's mate was wealthier, his leg injury required long-term treatment. Because of that, their marking ceremony kept getting postponed, and they weren't even sharing a bedroom.
She'd had enough of a marriage in name only, so she asked to dissolve their mate bond. And Adrian didn't try to keep her.
On the day our parents brought her back home, she happened to see Ethan putting a necklace around my neck for our anniversary.
Driven mad with jealousy, she dragged me off the yacht in the dead of night and we both died. When we opened our eyes again, we were back to that afternoon when our families were discussing the marriage arrangements.
Chloe rushed to claim the seat beside Ethan, leaving Adrian, who was still recovering from his injuries, for me.
Afraid that I would back out of the arrangements, our parents switched the marriage arrangements on the spot. But this time, I didn't reach for Ethan.
Chloe had only seen how Ethan spoiled me. She hadn't seen how, right after I gave birth to our daughter, he took our pup away and asked me to make a sacrifice for his widowed sister-in-law, Vivian Clayton, who had lost her own pup.
In this life, I don't want to be his Luna, and I don't want that nursery that's forever left empty, either.
Since Chloe thinks he's such a great match, she can marry him herself.
