Chapter 2

At the time, I didn't understand what she meant by those words.

But now, looking at my 17-year-old body, I understood.

Yvonne must have activated some kind of system that allowed her to be reborn, bringing me back in time with her.

With a second chance at life, she wanted to win back the man who should have been hers.

Now, in the equipment room, Zack was panting heavily.

He looked at me: "I..."

Yvonne forcefully turned Zack's head, making him look at her instead of me. "Zack, I love you," she said.

She leaned in and kissed him.

I struggled to my feet and stumbled out.

Thank heavens.

Thank you, Yvonne.

I never dreamed I'd get a chance to relive my life and escape this nightmare.

In my past life, Yvonne had drugged both Zack and me, locking us in the equipment room.

Then she brought our parents and neighbors to catch us in the act.

The neighbors witnessed Zack and me in a compromising position. My parents felt utterly humiliated and decided no other man would want me, so they forced me to marry Zack.

When I refused, they imprisoned me at home, denying me food and water, beating me daily.

Yvonne would cry and plead: "Little sister, just marry Zack. Otherwise, to save the family's reputation, they'll have to beat you to death."

In the end, on the brink of death, I was forced to marry Zack.

Later, even with all our wealth, this incident remained a lifelong trauma.

Now, I had finally escaped that shadow!
