Chapter 1

In my past life, I was the one he chose, becoming the most humiliated bride at the wedding.

Everyone thought I'd struck gold, that my luck was beyond belief.

Only I knew it was a complete and utter nightmare.

The night before the wedding, his 'white moonlight' had drunk herself to death, overwhelmed by grief.

The next day, his eyes blazing red, he accused me of "killing her" and personally dragged me to hell.

In the bridal suite, he whipped my back, lash after lash, screaming another woman's name.

"You stole her place, now you'll feel her pain."

He publicly tore my dress, then locked me in a dog cage for three days and three nights, all because I wore the wedding gown she loved before she died.

He even turned her ashes into perfume, forcing me to wear it daily, claiming it was so she could watch me atone.

Finally, I died on the jagged rocks by the ocean, still wearing that blood-stained wedding dress.

He said I owed her a funeral.

This time, I swapped the selection number in advance.

But then, he came at me, eyes red, gripping me like a madman:

"Chloe, this time, I only want you."
