Une semaine avant notre cérémonie de marquage, j'ai annoncé à Ethan Dubois que je voulais rompre, lors de la fête de son ami. Tout le monde a ri. Tous savaient que, depuis six ans, mon but dans la vie était de devenir sa Luna marquée. Alors qu'il ne restait plus qu'une semaine avant la cérémonie, comment pouvais-je vouloir rompre ? Même Ethan a trouvé que je déraisonnais. « Simplement parce que je dois accompagner Sélène chez le guérisseur pour son suivi le jour de notre cérémonie, tu fais une crise pour rompre ? » « Nous sommes adultes. Peux-tu te comporter de façon plus mature ? Tu pourrais simplement reporter la cérémonie. Pourquoi insistes-tu absolument pour ce jour précis ? Je n'ai pas de temps à perdre avec tes caprices jaloux. » J'ai silencieusement hoché la tête. Oui, quelque chose devait changer. Mais ce n'était pas la date de la cérémonie. C'était lui. J'allais plutôt accepter le marquage de quelqu'un d'autre.

In my previous life, my brother and fiancé teamed up to sabotage my company for the sake of my so-called best friend. After I went bankrupt, they stood beside her watching me collapse in the pouring rain, laughing mockingly at my pathetic state. "Linda Turner, you look as pathetic as a drenched dog!" they sneered. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the project bidding meeting three years earlier. In my previous life, when my company was just starting out, my brother and fiancé had warned me against using the Turner and Peterson family connections. They claimed it wouldn't be fair to others, but then turned around and handed projects to my best friend under various pretexts, just to see her smile. Now that I was back, I watched them secretly manipulating things just like before, giving my projects to my best friend. I finally gave up on them completely. When they found out I was leaving the country, my brother and fiancé set off fireworks all night, celebrating that they'd finally gotten rid of me, the burden. But three years later, at the Trada Corp's bidding meeting, I took the stage as the CEO's wife—and they couldn't hide the redness in their eyes.
