"I DO" → "I DIE."
Hours after marrying her longtime crush—icy CEO Nathan Jang—heiress Vanessa Belmont is stabbed, kidnapped, and left to bleed out in a wrecked car. The final insult? Watching Nathan rescue his precious childhood sweetheart (*cough* Vanessa’s killer *cough*) instead of his actual wife. So yeah. Worst. Wedding. Night. EVER.

FATE REWINDS
Reborn six months before her murder, Vanessa upgrades her life with new rules:

* Ditch the doormat era. (Badass mode: activated.)
* Live for herself. (And okay, fine—revenge.)
* Avoid Nathan like he’s the reason she died. (Oh, wait…)

TOO BAD NATHAN 2.0 IS OBSESSED
Now he’s everywhere—lingering touches, midnight texts, and panty-melting kisses. Not to mention his hungry gaze—like she’s an all-you-can-eat buffet and he's starving.

VANESSA'S SECOND CHANCE PLAN
1. Don’t die. (Again.)
2. Don’t fall for Nathan. (Too late.)
3. Eat more carbs. (Donuts!)

As for Nathan? She’ll forgive him when hell freezes over. Or when he takes off his shirt. Whichever comes first.

Reborn Heiress: Escaping My Contract Marriage with the Cold CEO

The Maybach peeled away from the hospital, tires screeching. I twisted in my seat—or tried to, before my ribs reminded me that sudden movements were a bad idea. Pain lanced through my side, sharp enough to make me gasp.

"Hold on. What did you just say?" I demanded, my voice strained.

"Do you not know or are you pretending not to know?"

"Pretending," I admitted. "Getting married is not on the agenda, Nate. I want you to break the contract. I don't want to--"

Wait a minute. In my previous life, I died on my wedding day. But things had changed. Fiona was in the wind, but she couldn't kill me. Right? Maybe getting married to Nathan was the right thing to do. No wedding. Just another signed piece of paper.

I'm Married?
