Two half-sisters were forced into arranged marriages—Vivian to the cold CEO Noah Tyson, and you to his assistant, Brent. Vivian thought she had won, but Noah tormented her, locking her in a basement. Meanwhile, Brent treated you kindly—or so it seemed.
Brent’s kindness was a mask. His true goal was to destroy Noah and take his place. He succeeded, became the richest man alive, and gave you everything. Vivian, bitter and jealous, killed you with her own hands.
But death wasn’t the end.
You were back to the day of the marriage selection. Everything was the same, but now you knew the future. Vivian shocked you by choosing Brent instead of Noah. That’s when it hit you: she had returned to the past too. Your father objected, threatening to harm your sick mother unless you chose Brent. But Vivian insisted, desperate for the love you had. She didn’t know Brent had only played the role of a loving husband—behind closed doors, he was a monster.
This time, you married Noah. Surprisingly, he was kind. Protective, respectful, and quietly obsessed with you. He’d only hurt Vivian out of misplaced rage when you chose someone else.
Noah treated you with care, while Brent failed to kill him and was exposed. At Vivian’s engagement party with Brent, she caught you kissing Noah. Furious, she later cornered you, ready to throw acid on your face.
“You won’t be happy forever,” she hissed.
But you fought back. “Brent is worse than Noah. You’ll suffer.”
Before she could attack, Noah appeared and deflected her hand—the acid spilled on her own face. Screaming, she blamed you. Noah took the blame to protect you.
"You mess with her—you mess with me."
Brent said nothing—just dragged her away.
Later, lost in thought before a mirror, you didn’t notice Noah behind you, quietly unzipping your dress—something you’d never allowed before.
“Focus,” he whispered.
You looked down. The dress was already on the floor.
