Melisa was a lonely girl destined to be unloved, but fate had other plans when she began having strange dreams—visions of a life where she was forgotten, abandoned, and trapped in a loveless marriage.

Forced by her parents to stand at the wedding altar in her sister’s place, she was meant to marry Tristan Soveir, the notorious playboy. But fate twisted once more, and the groom was also swapped—to none other than Leonard Soveir, Tristan’s eldest brother and the powerful heir of the Soveir family.

Thrown into an unexpected marriage, Melisa is no longer the timid girl who once faded into the background. This time, she refuses to be a mere substitute for Olivia. With memories of her dream guiding her, she steps forward to change her fate.

Follow her journey as she unravels the mystery behind these dreams and fights to carve a new path for herself. Will she still remain in her sister’s shadow, or will she claim a life of her own?

"I will never become the pathetic me from my dreams."

The Wedding Deception

The door swung open the moment Leonard's words fell, as if the person outside had been eagerly waiting for permission to enter.

Melisa instinctively looked up, though she had already recognized the voice. She knew exactly who it was.

Ivonne stepped inside, exuding confidence with every stride. She wore a crisp white blouse tucked into a black micro-mini tube skirt that accentuated her long, smooth legs. Her wavy brown hair cascaded down her shoulders, adding to her youthful and alluring appearance.

Her gaze flickered to Melisa, sharp with jealousy and barely concealed fury.

But Melisa met her eyes without hesitation—calm, unshaken, and with maybe a little amusement, much like a spectator watching a monkey's performance.

Seeing this, Ivonne could no longer contain her fury, but a thought seemed to cross her mind, making her lips curl into a smile. "I didn't expect to see you here, Melisa," she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness.
