Bright red blood slowly drained from my hody, leaving my face paler than a corpse.
Several tubes of blood were taken away, and I collapsed weakly on the floor.
I watched Ryder coax Mia to sleep.
He looked down at me from above.
“Just a few tubes of blood and you’re putting on this whole act?”
With that, he ignored me completely.
Letting the other medical staff take me awa
I was bedridden for a day and night.
for emergency care.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Mia standing by my hospital bed in a wedding dress.
I forced myself to sit up.
“Get out.
Hearing me curse at her, Mia just smiled sweetly.
“Sis, look at me. Don’t I look beautiful in this wedding dress?”
I glanced over casually, then my gaze suddenly sharpened.
“Take it off.”
The wedding dress she was wearing had been left to me by my adoptive father before he died.
Mia had her own dress, but she chose to wear mine instead.
Just like Ryder Kane, from the very first day she came to the Winters house, she’d had her eye on everything I owned.
Mia pouted.
“Why? Is it because the old geezer left it to you?”
“I already mixed his ashes with baby formula. The fish have probably eaten it all by now, so he can’t see who’s wearing this dress.”
My eyes widened as I gritted my teeth.
“Dad was so good to you. Why would you do this?!”
“Good my ass!” Mia swore.
Her expression changed, becoming twisted and grotesque.
“I heard you’re marrying that dying freak. Congrats.”
“I know that pervert better than you do. Good thing I took the money and ran last time… otherwise he probably would’ve fucked me to det
I suddenly caught the meaning in Mia’s words.
Was she reborn too?
Suddenly, the door handle turned, and Mia started tearing at the wedding dress.
When Ryder walked in, Mia threw herself into his arms.

Was Ryder here to visit me?
Mia’s crying echoed through the hospital room.
*Ryder, my sister won’t let me wear the wedding dress. She said I should be wearing a burial shroud instead, boohoo
Sure enough, a black burial shroud had fallen to the floor.
Thinking of Mia’s death in the past life, Ryder’s eyes blazed with fury as he looked at me.
He stepped on the flowers and grabbed my throat.
“You really don’t deserve an ounce of my mercy.”
“You want to wear a burial shroud? I’ll make it happen.”
Ryder snapped his fingers, and several bodyguards came in to pin me down.
“Strip her naked and put the shroud on her!”
When those hands touched my body, I was flooded with memories of the humiliation from my past life.
Tears dripped onto the floor.
“Ryder Kane, don’t do this, please!”
“I promise I’ll stay away from you both, I’ll never show up again!”
My last piece of clothing was violently torn off, my skin touched the cold air, and I trembled unnaturally.
But my words didn’t calm Ryder down.
“Stay away from me? You think you’re in any position to make demands?”
I lay on the floor with the black burial shroud carelessly thrown over me.
Biting my lip, I suppressed the hatred in my heart.
For Ryder Kane, I felt nothing anymore.
Ryder thought he controlled everything about me, but he didn’t know I’d been holding his secrets for a long time.
He wouldn’t let me go, and I wouldn’t let him go either.
Mia came over and stepped on my fingers repeatedly, but got no reaction from me whatsoever.
“Ryder, I’m tired…”
Ryder picked her up and looked down at me.
“Tomorrow at the wedding, you’ll wear this outfit/and crawl at the entrance to be Mia’s doormat.”
“If I don’t see you there, you know what’ll happen.”
With that, he turned and left.
I lay on the floor motionless until my phone rang.
I answered and said to the person on the other end.
“Let me tell you a secret.”
Use this secret to destroy Ryder Kane and everyone around him. Don’t let a single one of them get away…
Ryder’s wedding took up almost the entire building.
The other half that wasn’t booked was snatched up by old man W
Winters‘ unrelated brother, Jasper Reed.
Just like in my past life, Jasper was dying but still wanted to marry a bride for good luck.
But Ryder couldn’t care less about that.
Mia was by his side now, and he feared nothing.
When he carried Mia out of the wedding car, he didn’t see me at the entrance.
He felt annoyed, thinking I was challenging his limits
again.
But even when the wedding was about to start, I still hadn’t shown up.
Ryder asked my adoptive mother.
“Where’s Ivy?”
My adoptive mother didn’t seem to care much, just saying.
“Ivy got in the wedding car with license plate 888. Wasn’t that your car, Ryder?”
Ryder frowned.
But then an aunt nearby laughed.
“She must’ve gotten in the wrong car! 888 belongs to Mr. Reed next door today!”
Ryder thought he wouldn’t care, after all, in my past life Mia had taken my place in that marriage.
This time, me getting in the wrong car was what I deserved.
But he still couldn’t control himself from rushing to Jasper Reed’s floor.
He pushed open the door.
Ryder saw me standing in the center.
He was about to tell me I was in the wrong place.
But then he heard the officiant say.
“Welcome, distinguished guests, to the wedding of Mr. Jasper Reed and Miss Ivy Winters!”
