I stared at her wide–eyed.
“You’re insane!”
Celeste’s face changed, and she knelt before me.
“Sister, if you don’t help me, I’ll tell the billionaire you deceived everyone. Before I die, I’ll take you both down with me!”
Dad was in tears. “Please, just agree to your sister’s request. I’m too old to deal with this anymore!”
I remained silent.
Then, Celeste suddenly got up and grabbed Mabel’s wrist.
“I’m telling you! Go wear the wedding dress and marry him for me! Or I’ll stab her to death!”
In my panic, Mabel suddenly smiled.
Her eyes were filled with determination.
“Nora, in my short life, you were my only light. Knowing you’re happy is enough for me. As long as you’re happy, even if I die, I’ll be content.”
Realizing what she intended to do, I rushed forward to grab her hand.
“No! You can’t leave me alone!”
Seeing our deep bond, Celeste nearly went mad.
She picked up a fruit knife from the table and slashed a long cut on Mabel.
As blood dripped, I felt as if a hole had been pierced in my heart.
Celeste was confident I wouldn’t let Mabel die unjustly.
I took a deep breath, feeling helpless and desperate, and closed my eyes.
Fine, let the past be a dream.
The next morning, like a walking corpse, I was pushed onto the wedding car.
In just a few months, I had married twice.
“No! You can’t just leave me on my own!”
Celeste, witnessing the intensity of our bond, was driven to the brink of madness.
In a moment of frenzy, she grabbed a fruit knife from the table and slashed Mabel, leaving a deep wound.

As I saw the blood flow, it felt as though my heart had been pierced by a gaping hole.
Celeste was certain that I wouldn’t let Mabel die without uncovering the truth.
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes in utter helplessness and despair.
Perhaps it was best to treat everything that happened as a fleeting illusion.
The next morning, I was pushed into a wedding car, feeling as lifeless as a shell.
In just a few months, I found myself married twice.
Life truly is unpredictable.
Celeste climbed into a luxury car to return to Asher’s family, watching it drive away with a sense of triumph.
With tears in my eyes, I turned my head away.
The car jolted along the path a few times before coming to a sudden stop.
Nearly thrown forward, I felt a wave of anxiety and considered stepping out to investigate.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by a chilling scream.
“Today, you’re just unlucky because I’m in a foul mood!”
Who was speaking?
Before I could comprehend the situation, the door of the wedding car was abruptly pulled open.
A pair of rough hands dragged me out, and before I could react, a mask was forced over my head.
A hard blow struck the back of my head, and I lost consciousness.
When I awoke, I found myself bound hand and foot with ropes in a dark basement.
“Don’t worry, Second Young Master, everything’s been taken care of. You won’t be disappointed!” said the man who kidnapped me, groveling obsequiously.
In the dim light, I saw the man standing in the center, his tailored suit unable to hide his noble aura.
“The money is already in your account. Make sure I never see you again.”
His shoes appeared before me, forcing me to look up at him:
“Violet, your sister is truly shameless.”
“She claimed to have feelings for me, but that night I found her and her father naked in my bed. Now she’s marrying Asher, that scoundrel. Your family’s daughters are all despicable!”
Even I, as naïve as I was, realized that the man who slept with my sister that night wasn’t the Second Young Master, but the Billionaire.
Now, everything made sense.
The Second Young Master, not used to being played by a woman, couldn’t swallow his pride and kidnapped me to vent his anger.
“Don’t speak. You and your sister look exactly alike, and it infuriates me.”
A sense of foreboding filled my heart.
I hurriedly knelt on the ground:
“Second Young Master! It was supposed to be me who married Asher, not Celeste!”

He narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing me:
“So, you’re saying you are the wife of that wretched man?”
Asher was notorious for his cruelty, and the death of the First Young Master was linked to him.
Moreover, he was the Billionaire’s confidant. Shouldn’t the Second Young Master be moved by his woman?
But after my admission, he excitedly grabbed my neck:
“Violet, I suddenly find your figure even more appealing than your sister’s.”
I was shocked, eyes wide open:
“Second Young Master! I’m already married!”
