Chapter 1
I woke up and realized I was inside a story I had read before.
And before I knew it, I had fallen hopelessly in love with Alistair Sterling, my childhood
sweetheart.
At first, I thought I could change the story.
But when the female lead finally appeared, Alistair still fell into the ocean and
disappeared.
When he was finally found, he had lost his memory and fallen in love with the female
lead who rescued him.
I couldn’t accept it.
I hid everything from everyone and secretly forced her to leave, only to cause the
accident that made her lose her child.
Alistair grew cold and merciless. He called my methods filthy, said I was scheming and
vicious.
Even if he ever got his memory back, he would never love me.
He went out of his way to destroy me, crushing my family’s business until Harrington Holdings collapsed.
He sneered, “You owe me the life of my child. You’ll repay it with the collapse of Harrington Holdings. You’ve earned this.”
Later, when the brakes failed, both of us plunged into the sea and died.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the third year after he had gone missing.
I finally found a lead on him, but then I suddenly stopped.
My assistant held the photo and asked, “Ms. Harrington, should we still go look for
him?”

I had finally tracked him down–but then I paused.
“No. We’re not going.”

I gave up searching for Alistair.
But a year later, just as the story foretold, he came back.
To celebrate his return, our circle of friends threw him a grand welcome–home party.
I had just gotten back from a business trip.
My friend Sophie dragged me out right away. She was acting secretive and kept saying
she had a surprise for me.
The moment I walked in, I saw him—Alistair, standing in the center of the room,
surrounded by a crowd.
His memory loss had left him with a cold, distant air–a quiet detachment from
everyone around him.
Our eyes met.
Someone pointed at me excitedly and asked him, “Alistair, even if you’ve forgotten all
of us, you should at least remember Celestine, right?”
“You two grew up together. You even said you’d be together forever.”
The focus in the room shifted to me.
He looked at me but didn’t say whether he remembered or not.
After a brief silence, he simply repeated my name. “Celestine.”
Everyone seemed to get it immediately.
They laughed it off to ease the tension, then tried to comfort me.
“Celestine, he hit his head pretty badly. He forgot all of us.”

“But the doctors said there’s still a chance he could recover… and even if he doesn’t, at
least he made it back safely. That’s what matters.”
Their words came gently, as if they were afraid it might upset me.
Then, as if trying to close the distance between us, they started eagerly recounting our
shared past to him.
“When you disappeared at sea, Celestine took it harder than anyone.”
“She was the only one who believed you were still alive–the one who never stopped
searching for you.”
“Honestly, fate is cruel. If not for that accident, you two would’ve been married by
now.”
That much was true.
Our family–arranged engagement had been set since we were children.
Before he fell into the sea, we had already chosen a wedding date.
But the wedding never came. Instead, he vanished silently into the ocean.
The last thing he said to me still lingered in my mind.
“Celestine, I can’t wait for our wedding.”
Now, after so many years, those words only stirred up a quiet ache.
Holding my glass, I smiled at him, playing along with the reunion everyone had
orchestrated.
“Welcome home.”
But when he looked at me, his words were completely different.
“I didn’t come back to go through with the engagement.”
“I’m in love with someone else.”
