"Cassandra, I've never liked you. Let's break up…"
"You are my fate. I will have you as my wife for the rest of my life."
"Bastard! She is your sister! How dare you?! Get out of here! I don't have a daughter like you!"
"She is just a rubbish person."
'My head hurts...'
Her memory was so painful, tearing her into a million pieces. As she thought about it again, her headache became more severe. With that, she groaned while curling up into a ball..
There was no one inside the room except her. She stared at the handcuff around her wrist connected to the bedpost. She tried to wriggle it but only caused it to leave a red mark. There was even blood overflowing from it.
The cold sweat formed on her forehead and the cold air filled the whole room.
After a long time, she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was two glaring red characters with the meaning of "happiness" posted on the wall, and a big poster hanging on the wall.
Her eyes widened and her body stiffened at a certain point. The familiar scene overwhelmed her.
How could this be? Wasn't it the night before her wedding?!
She didn't want to be the substitute, nor did she want to marry the evil man. The only thing she wanted was to stay with the man she loved. As a result, the Yan Clan locked her in the house.
'Am I not dead yet?'
It was then she realized that it was all a part of a plan when she tried to run away and meet her beloved. She thought she'd succeed, but she was wrong.
Her sister, whom she trusted the most, should stand by the side of that devil. The man she loved so much even pushed her into the abyss step by step. As for her parents, she was just a pawn in their hands!
After knowing that, she had no expectation in life. When the man came to take her home, she could predict how she would spend the rest of her life as a prisoner, leaving no hope anymore.
The last thing she could remember was that she fell into the sea and was struggling for a while.
When she opened her eyes, she found that she had returned to the night five years ago when she had married Martin Lu, taking the place of her sister Susan Yan.
Everything in front of her looked so real, and she was sure that it was not a dream.
'Am I reborn? But why? Why am I in the same place five years ago? From the very start of those nightmares?'
It all came to her from the thought of her parents abandoning her, the love of her life being taken away by her sister, and the man she had loved betraying her. Since then, they had forced her to marry Martin Lu. She had become a prey ever since that happened.
