The divorce papers stared back at me, cold and final. I had just spent the entire night nursing my critically ill mother-in-law, my eyes bloodshot from exhaustion, when Max Charlie delivered the crushing blow.
"I know you didn't do anything wrong," he said solemnly, "but Rose was divorced. I have to divorce you to protect her."
Rose Moran—divorced. And just like that, someone else had to be sacrificed for her sake. Of course, that someone was me. The scandal would drag me into the center of the storm, leaving me exposed to public ridicule.
Max had gone to such lengths to shield the woman he couldn't marry—the woman he truly loved.
The injustice of it all sent a rush of blood to my head, and the world went black.
When I came to, the sound of chatter buzzed in my ears.
"Ms. Watson, wake up."
I blinked my eyes open, and there she was—Rose Moran, hovering over me with a look of feigned concern.
She wore a simple green dress, her porcelain skin flawless, her delicate frame giving the impression that a harsh word might shatter her. The very picture of innocence.
Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself up, steadying myself on the nearest maid's arm before shoving through the crowd and fleeing to my own quarters.
There, in my boudoir, I stared at the half-finished embroidery hanging on the wall, my hands trembling. Clenching them over and over, I finally accepted the impossible truth—I had been reborn.
I was back three years in the past, before my engagement to Max.
Today was the day we first met.
It was my grandmother's birthday celebration, and I had wandered into the garden for a moment of quiet—only to find him there.
Max stood like a figure carved from moonlight, his voice calm as he greeted me.
I had responded politely, thinking nothing of it.
But ten days later, he appeared at my doorstep, declaring he had fallen in love with me at first sight.
Now, I knew better.
This time, things would be different.
