Chapter 1

After my rebirth, I found myself pinned beneath Zack once again.

In my previous life, Zack had drunkenly slept with me, leading to a forced marriage after the media exposed us. But after the wedding, he viciously berated me:

"You schemed your way into marrying me and drove Susie away. Are you satisfied now?"

Only then did I realize he had always loved Susie, the poor student he'd been sponsoring.

To get revenge on me, he bankrupted my family and ruined us completely.

This time, I firmly pushed him away and went to open the door. "I'm in the wrong room. My boyfriend is across the hall."

A moment later, the door opposite opened.

Jason, Zack's business rival, stood in the doorway. I threw myself into his arms. "Honey, I missed you so much!"

Zack's face darkened.

At the same time, I slammed the door shut.

Enveloped in the heavy scent of alcohol, I was pinned beneath Zack.

Just like in my previous life, he was passionate, his ragged breathing hot against my temple as he murmured longingly: "Susie..."

I jolted, suddenly snapping back to awareness.

In my past life, I had secretly loved Zack. When he drunkenly pressed me down that night, my heart had been filled more with joy and anticipation than fear.

Hearing him call out my name so tenderly, I thought Zack must have feelings for me too.

But on our wedding night, after I had prepared so carefully, he kicked me out of the master bedroom. Only then did I realize the "Susie" he spoke of wasn't me at all.

The one he loved had always been Susie Zhao, the poor student he sponsored - not me, Sophia Su.

How foolish I was to accept that sham of a marriage just because of one reckless night. I thought it was a romantic union, but I had no idea the hell that awaited me.

Zack took brutal revenge on me, destroying my family and ruining us completely.

The feeling of being pinned down by that despicable man was vivid in my mind. It was as if countless greasy hands were still roaming over my body.

In my past life, I had been tortured to death by those men. Humiliation and shame enveloped me as I violently shoved the man on top of me away.

Zack froze in shock. I didn't even spare him a glance as I stumbled towards the door.

As I grasped the handle, he called out my name from behind.

"Sophia—"

So he did know who I was after all.

He knew, yet he still went along with the charade, blaming everything on me after we married.

How absurd.

I didn't even turn around, coldly tossing out as I opened the door: "I'm in the wrong room. My boyfriend is across the hall."

A moment later, the opposite door opened.

Jason, Zack's business rival, stood in the doorway.

Sensing footsteps behind me, I gritted my teeth and threw myself into his arms.

Then I squeezed out the most affected voice I could muster: "Honey, I missed you so much!"

"Sophia."

Zack's voice came through gritted teeth. Still clinging to Jason, I sneaked a glance back.

Zack's face had darkened.

At the same time, I slammed the door shut.

As it closed, Zack's furious voice squeezed through the gap.

"You'll regret this!"

I certainly wouldn't regret it.

In my past life, I had done more than enough to regret.

This time, I absolutely would not make the same mistakes.
