My brother Jason married Veronica Chase, the powerful heir to a business empire. But rumors swirled about Veronica’s dark, sadistic tendencies-ones that pushed him to the brink of madness. I ended up with Hannah Porter, Veronica’s assistant. She didn’t have wealth or influence, but she showed me a kindness I’d never known. Later, she even replaced Veronica and gave me a life of wealth and luxury. Consumed by envy, Jason stabbed me, leaving me to bleed out on the floor. When I came to – back in that fateful moment-Jason was already choosing Hannah, without a second thought. A smug grin spread across his face as he whispered, “This time, dear brother, you’re the one who’ll suffer for life. My happy ending is guaranteed. ” How could he be so naive? Did he honestly believe Hannah was a good person? The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Veronica Chase sitting at the head of the dining table. Standing beside her was her assistant, Hannah Porter. In a startling move, Jason lunged forward and seized Hannah’s hand, and said excitedly to Veronica, “Veronica, I like your assistant. Let her marry me.” At his words, my father immediately stood up from his seat, his face darkening with fury. “Jason, what are you doing? Stop this nonsense!” “I’m not being ridiculous. I really like Hannah.” Jason spoke defiantly, shooting me a smug look. That’s when it hit me-he was a reborn soul, just like me. He remembered everything. In my past life, my father brought Jason and me here so Veronica could choose a future husband. It would also propel our family business to unprecedented success. But my father always favored Jason. There was no way he’d let me marry the powerful Veronica and live comfortably. So he’d laid down the law in advance: “If Veronica chooses you, reject her immediately and choose Hannah instead. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never see your birth mother again.” Jason and I were half-brothers. My brother was in a nursing home, recovering from a long illness. The woman at home now was Jason’s biological mother—my stepmother. To keep my mother alive, I had no choice but to agree. In my past life, Veronica actually chose me. I had to reject her and choose her assistant instead. Then Jason stepped in, declaring his sudden admiration for Veronica. Back then, Veronica’s expression was unreadable, her eyes like dark pools. She’d simply said coolly, “Fine. Then you’ll be my husband.” But after the marriage, Jason’s life wasn’t happy at all. Because Veronica supposedly had twisted habits—she enjoyed tormenting people. She would lock Jason in the basement day after day, using every method imaginable to torture him. Meanwhile, I married her assistant Hannah. Though she had no money or influence, she was incredibly gentle with me. She brought me to work every day,under the guise of taking care of me. Eventually, she even killed Veronica, took her place, became the new heir, and gave me a life of wealth and luxury. Jealousy ate away at Jason until he snapped. He escaped from the basement and stabbed me to death. That’s why he was so eager to choose Hannah in this new life. But Jason was a fool. Just like before, you never look beneath the surface. Someone capable of killing an heir—how good could she really be? “I choose Hannah!” Jason spoke again, his tone firm. My father was furious, but could only explain to Veronica, “Jason doesn’t know any better, but rest assured, if you favor him, I will ensure he honors the arrangement.” “No.” Veronica spoke softly. “I’m not interested in him. But Hannah happens to be single. I think they’re well-matched.” At her words, my father’s expression darkened. After all, he’d originally planned for Jason to climb the social ladder. But with Veronica saying this, he couldn’t refuse. Now only I remained. Veronica’s beautiful eyes fixed on me intently. “Marcus, will you marry me?” Though in my past life Jason was tortured to death by her. Because Hannah brought me to work every day, I spent a lot of time with her and learned that Veronica didn’t actually have twisted habits. Jason must have done something to displease her, which made her treat him so cruelly. “Marcus, Veronica asked you a question. Don’t you want to marry her?” Jason suddenly spoke up, watching me like this was all a show. I smiled. “Absolutely.” At my words, not only did Jason smile smugly, but Veronica’s lips curved up slightly too. I didn’t know what she was smiling about, and I didn’t want to know. I only knew that this time, I would make every single one of them pay. One by one, I’d drag them down.
Our wedding date was set in short order. As Jason walked past me with Hannah, he whispered, “This time, you’ll suffer for the rest of your life, while I’ll live happily ever after.” I raised an eyebrow slightly. “Really? Who suffers remains to be seen.” Jason was so angry his teeth clenched. “Just wait. Your time is coming!” The moment he finished speaking, Veronica walked over. His face went pale with fright, and he and Hannah scurried away. Veronica looked at me. “From now on, you’re my husband. If you have any conditions, Name your price.” Feel free to ask? Was fate finally on my side? In my past life at this time, Veronica had an important project that she assigned to Hannah. Hannah secretly embezzled a lot of money from it, which later became the foundation for killing Veronica. After all, with money, she could hire people. This time, I wouldn’t let her succeed. Not only to prevent Veronica’s death, but also to get revenge on Jason. I knew Hannah too well. She was the one with real problems. If she lost the project, her temper would become even more volatile. Jason was in for some truly “wonderful” days ahead. I looked at Veronica. “The suburban project—I want you to give it to me, not Hannah.” I thought she’d ask me why. But she didn’t. She agreed immediately. She even offered to show me our future home. Veronica took me to a luxury villa district where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Only the wealthy and powerful lived here. Veronica was truly rich—I’d known that in my past life. I figured that in this life, her wealth alone could secure my comfort, provided I didn’t cross her. As for love, I wouldn’t hope for that. So I took her hand, laying on the charm. “Veronica, I really like it here.” She smiled and handed me a check for fifty million dollars. “Go spend it.” My eyes lit up. I desperately needed money. Heaven was truly helping me. Then she took me to see the new house. How strange—the interior design was all in styles I liked. I didn’t understand how she knew me so well. Just as I was about to ask, she suddenly kissed me, blocking all the questions I wanted to ask. This was happening so fast. When the kiss ended, I suddenly noticed Jason standing outside, his eyes glaring at us viciously. He must be furious that I wasn’t being tortured.
In my past life, Hannah brought me to the company to work together every day. She presented it as care, but in truth, I was her servant. When she was tired, I had to massage her back. When she was unhappy, she’d take her frustrations out on me. Once, she slapped me so hard my nose bled. When I went to the bathroom to clean up, I ran into Veronica. She frowned. “What happened? Who hit you?” I didn’t dare tell her, because Hannah would beat me for it. So I lied. “No one. I just have a medical condition that causes frequent nosebleeds.” After learning this, she gave me a check for one million dollars and told me to get treatment. Then she left. That moment confirmed for me that she definitely didn’t have twisted habits. After all, someone with those problems wouldn’t be kind enough to help a stranger. Hannah was the one with real problems. Jason thought he’d escaped the fire. Little did he know, he’d just jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Actually, he’d just jumped from one fire pit into another that burned even fiercer. After Veronica dropped me home, Jason pulled me into his room, glaring at me viciously. “Did you drug Veronica? Is that why she kissed you?” “Just wait. Soon enough you’ll be locked up, bitten by dogs, and living with snakes and rats!” As he spoke, unable to contain his anger, he tried to hit me. I grabbed his hand and slammed him hard against the wall. My voice was very soft. “Jason, instead of wasting time arguing with me, you should think about your own future.” Hannah would grind him down to nothing. But I didn’t want to tell him what kind of person Hannah really was. Whether in my past life or this one, he never wanted me to have it easy. I wasn’t kind enough to let someone who’d killed me have it easy either. His teeth were chattering with rage. “The show’s just beginning. When you’re broken beyond recognition, let’s see if you’ll still be so smug!” With that, he shoved me hard and left the room. Looking at his short sleeves revealing his muscular arms, I couldn’t help but smile. Yes, the show was just beginning. Jason, soon your healthy body would be covered in scars.
The next day, Hannah arrived with gifts to finalize the wedding arrangements. She gently held Jason’s hand and said to my father and stepmother, “Uncle, Aunt, don’t worry. I’ll treat Jason well from now on.” Her idea of “good treatment” involved tying up her husband and whipping him with a barbed whip. She’d also inject various chemicals into her husband’s body, making him suffer unbearably. I wondered if Jason could handle this so-called “good treatment.” Right now Jason knew nothing, still grinning broadly. When I went to the bathroom, he couldn’t resist finding me to gloat. “See that? Hannah loves me. My happy life is just around the corner.” Then he actually pulled out a syringe, laughing coldly. “In a few seconds, your handsome face will be gone. You won’t be able to attract Veronica anymore. She’ll find you disgusting!” He lunged at me with the injection. I dodged to the side and was about to grab his hand when someone beat me to it. It was Veronica. She snatched the syringe and jabbed it hard into Jason’s arm. Immediately, he let out an agonizing scream. “Ah!” Jason collapsed to the floor, clutching his arm and writhing. Hannah and my father rushed over. “Jason, what happened?” Jason cried and screamed, “It was Marcus! Marcus did this to me! Hannah, quick, punish him for me!” I’d never touched him. Hannah didn’t listen to him. She quickly apologized to Veronica first. “Veronica, I’m sorry. I didn’t discipline my husband properly.” Veronica took my hand, her voice cold. “If anyone dares touch my husband again, I won’t let them off.” The room fell deathly silent. No one dared speak. Jason clutched his arm corroded by the chemicals, trembling with fear. I glanced at my father. He looked at Jason with seeming concern. But only I knew he wasn’t truly concerned about Jason. In my past life, he knew exactly what kind of person Hannah was, which is why he made me marry her. In this life, when Jason chose Hannah, my father not only didn’t stop it for his own interests, he didn’t even tell Jason what Hannah was really like. Not one of these people was decent. I wouldn’t spare any of them. After Jason’s arm injury, his wedding with Hannah was postponed, but the two went to the marriage registry office early. Veronica’s status in Harbor City was unmatched. Though Jason was hurt by her, he didn’t dare say anything. He had no choice but to choke down his rage. Meanwhile, Hannah stayed at the hospital taking care of him every day, playing the role of the good woman. Only I knew Hannah was just keeping up appearances. She actually hated Jason and was definitely tormenting him at the hospital every day. I knew Hannah all too well-she was viciously competitive. Jason made her lose face in front of Veronica, so she’d definitely punish him thoroughly. On my end, my plan was also progressing. The project I’d asked Veronica for, she gave to me as promised. I deliberately had people spread false information. Making outsiders believe that because Hannah was too busy caring for her husband, Veronica gave me the project instead. When word got back to Hannah, she’d probably vent all her anger on Jason. To confirm this, I secretly went to the hospital to check on Jason. I saw Hannah choking his neck, viciously slapping his face. “I worked on that project for months, and because of you, all my plans are ruined!” “You should just die!” She even used needles to pierce his arms and legs. Hannah was a complete psychopath. I quietly recorded this scene with my phone. Jason, you thought swapping lives with me would make you happy. So now, do you regret it?
