The medical laboratory explodes one day, and Celia Lumley and I are stuck in the fire together. My boyfriend, Xaiden Seager, gives up on me and chooses to save her first. I don't stop or beg him—I allow him to leave me in the fire. In my past life, I used my identity as the dean's daughter and the threat of Xaiden's future to force him to save me. Celia died in the fire. Later, he took over my family's inheritance and locked me in the laboratory. I was almost due for labor, but he still set a fire and burned me and our child to death. When I begged him to let me go, he laughed cruelly and said, "If not for you threatening me with your family, Celia would never have died such a horrible death! I'll make you suffer the pain she did in a hundredfold, Winifred Zalmer!" When I open my eyes again, I discover that I'm back to the day Celia and I get caught in that fire.

While visiting a property development with my fiancé to buy our first home, I ran into a two-faced real estate agent.   She showered my fiancé with compliments, praising him for being young and successful enough to afford a Rolls-Royce.   Then, she suggested I was a fake socialite with a knockoff designer bag, implying that I was just using my charms to snag a free house.   When she found out the property was meant to be a marital home, her voice grew loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.   “I just think the sugar daddy who bought you those two properties last time treated you pretty well!” “Oh, wait. Miss Gwen, don’t you have several sugar daddies? Do they all know about each other?”   I chuckled. What she didn’t know was that my “sugar daddies” were my godfathers and I really was a socialite.   The kicker, though, was that my so-called wealthy fiancé wasn’t rich at all. In fact, he was just a scholarship student I had been financially supporting!

After the tragic death of my best friend, I took her younger brother in and treated him like my own. Everyone knew how much Zach Lawson meant to me, so much so that I vowed not to marry because I could not bear leaving him. The day he turned eighteen, he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. With tears of joy streaming down my face, I took the bouquet from him, only to realize they were made of writhing snakes. Everyone laughed at my misfortune. It was an artfully crafted joke, at my expense. Thalia Lewis laced her arm through Zach's and grinned. "Sorry about that, Sydney. It was just an innocent prank. Zach is willing to do anything to make me smile!" Zach gave me a look of utter disgust. "Is this what you think of me? You're my sister! How can you even think of marrying me? This is vile! Is this the reason you took me in? Have you been secretly pining for me since the start?" My whole life had come crashing down around me. I was overcome with shock, misery, and despair, until Connor Grey showed up and asked for my hand in marriage.

Si Macie Smith ay kasal kay Edward Fowler ng dalawang taon na—dalawang taon na pagiging housekeeper ni Edward, walang pagod na naging tapat at mapagkumbaba. Dalawang taon ay sapat na para maubos ang bawat butil ng pagmamahal niya kay Edward. Ang kasal nila ay natapos nang bumalik mula sa ibang bansa ang first love ni Edward. Simula ngayon, wala na silang kinalaman sa isa’t isa. Wala na silang utang sa isa’t isa. “Hindi na ako bulag sa pag ibig, Edward. Sa tingin mo ba ay susulyapan pa kita kung nakatayo ka sa harap ko ngayon?” … Pinirmahan ni Edward ang divorce papers, hindi nag aatubili. Alam niya na mahal siya ni Macie ng higit pa sa buhay mismo—paano siya iiwan ni Macie? Hinihintay niya na pagsisihan ni Macie ang lahat—babalik si Macie ng luhaan, nagmamakaawa na tanggapin siya ni Edward. Gayunpaman, napagtanto ni Edward na mukhang seryoso si Macie ngayon. Hindi na mahal ni Macie si Edward. … Noong tumagal, lumabas ang katotohanan, at nabunyag ang nakaraan. Sa huli ay nagkamali si Edward kay Macie noon. Nataranta siya, nagsisisi, at nagmamakaawa kay Macie upang patawarin siya. Gusto niyang makipagbalikan. Sa sobrang irita ni Macie sa ugali ni Edward ay nagpadala siya ng notice na nagsasabi na naghahanap siya ng asawa. Sa sobrang selos ni Edward ay halos mawala siya sa tamang pag iisip. Gusto niyang magsimula muli, ngunit napagtanto niya na hindi man lang siya pasok sa minimum requirements.

Nakatanggap ako ng tawag isang araw bago ang aking kasal. "Miss McPherson, may sumira sa venue mo." Nagmamadali akong pumunta sa hotel nang may pagkalito at nakasalubong ko lang ang isang babaeng winwagayway ang wedding photo ko "You homewrecking skank! Inakit mo ang asawa ko at ginastos mo ang pera niya sa kasal na ito!" Naniwala ang karamihan sa kanya at nagkagulo. Pati ang manager ng hotel ay galit sa akin. "Alam ko nang may mali dito dahil hindi nagpakita ang groom! Hindi ka niya tunay na asawa!" Ang mga tao ay marahas na nagkagulo. Sa kaguluhang iyon, nakunan ako. Sa kasagsagan ng aking galit, tinext ko ang secretary ko: [Kanselahin ang kasal, at sipain si Matteo Brando sa aking kumpanya!] Ang kapal ng mukha niya na itago ang kabit niya gamit ang kayamanan ko! How dare she challenge me! Sisirain ko sila!

Nasa palengke ako ng may matandang babae na hindi ko kilala ang humawak sa kamay ko ng mahigpit. Agad ko na pinrotektahan ang baby bump ko, pero sinabi niya, “May naglagay ng swap spell sa iyo. Malapit na ilipat ang patay na bata sa katawan mo.” Sa tingin ko sinungaling siya, pero sinabi niya, “Bilisan mo at subukan pasukahin ang sarili mo. Dapat mo subukan isuka ang isdang kinain mo hanggang sa kaya mo.”
