Reborn, My Sister Took the Gentle Husband and Pushed Me to the Abusive One—But She Never Expected…

I was reborn on the day my sister and I were choosing our husbands that was when I realized I could hear other people's thoughts I heard my sister's voice in my head this time I have to grab the best husband before she does then she anxiously pulled away the gentle husband I had married in my past life leaving me with the abusive man who had beaten her I laughed did she really think the man I had married before was a good person once again I found myself on the day of the husband selection sitting across

from us at the dinner table were two men of similar age one was Logan Carter the eldest son of the Carter family cold and distant by Nature the other was Ethan Carter the youngest son though technically illegitimate he was mild-mannered and gentle this time I have to grab the best husband first my sister's voice echoed in my ears I glanced at her but she hadn't spoken she was simply staring straight at Ethan just wait I'm going to take you away this time her voice came again that was when I realized not only had I been

reborn but I could hear people's thoughts and judging from what my sister had just said she had been reborn too otherwise there was no way she would be thinking like this sure enough the next second she walked over and sat beside Ethan looking at him shyly hi my name is Sophia Evans I like you she said coily at that moment my father suddenly spoke Susan since your sister has already chosen Ethan Carter then you will marry Logan Carter as soon as he said that my sister's eyes filled with satisfaction in her mind she sneered this

time you can take the beatings for me in my past life Sophia had married Logan Logan was a successful businessman always busy with work and was known for being emotionally distant my sister had tried countless times to get close to him but each time she was beaten and thrown out of his room eventually because she never bore a child Mrs Carter declared her infertile and kicked her out of the family meanwhile I had married Ethan even though he held little power in the Carter family he still provided me with food and comfort he took me

shopping out for meals and pampered me endlessly everyone in the Carter household knew how much he doted on me later when Logan suddenly died of poisoning Ethan inherited The Carter family's business and my status in the household soared overnight my sister consumed with with jealousy deliberately drove her car into me while I was out shopping killing us both all right Dad I replied with a smile I actually like Logan too then I calmly walked over and sat beside Logan Carter I had to admit this man had an incredibly strong presence the moment I sat down

I felt a chilling Aura wrap around me making me hesitant to speak no wonder my sister had suffered so terribly in the past life I tried to listen to his thoughts but I heard nothing however when Ethan turned to look at Sophia with a smile I suddenly heard his voice in my head what a beautiful little doll a shiver ran down my spine on Instinct I grabbed Logan's hand despite his cold personality his hands were surprisingly warm feeling my touch he turned to glance at me I quickly let go and only then did he remain

silent even though Logan seemed intimidating I still felt that staying with him was far better than being with Ethan that venomous snake this this time I was determined to change my tragic fate I would make my own money become independent and rely on no one our wedding was held together in my past life we had also married on the same day back then Logan hadn't even shown up to the ceremony while Ethan had arrived early in the morning making everyone say he was the more considerate husband and just as expected history repeated itself Ethan dressed

in a white suit hurried over and carried sopia away as they passed by me she cast me a smug look Susan where's Logan didn't he come to pick you up she sneered I simply smiled no need for you to worry sopia just take care of yourself her face darkened at my words clearly choked up go ahead and laugh now let's see if you'll still be laughing when you're the one getting beaten after saying that in his mind Ethan Carter took Sophia downstairs with him but it was still too early to say who would have the

last laugh just like in my past life life Logan Carter did not attend the wedding leaving both my sister and me to endure endless gossip and judgmental stares Sophia was even more delighted unable to contain her excitement as she clung to Ethan and blurted out I love you Ethan then he kissed her after the kiss she turned to stare at me her lips still wet with saliva I knew she was waiting to see me humiliated but I wasn't stupid unlike my past self who had stormed out in anger handing every one and the Carter family

the perfect Scandal to gossip about I wouldn't make the same mistake I remembered how in my last life everyone had criticized Sophia for being immature and unfit to be the Carter family's eldest daughter-in-law as a result after the wedding Mrs Carter never showed her any kindness making her life in the Carter household miserable with a poised smile I picked up the microphone and addressed the guests below the stage Logan had an important business deal to negotiate today so I'll be making the rounds in his place for the wedding toast I hope you all won't mind

the moment I said that the murmuring among the guests ceased even Mrs Carter seated at the main table gave me a look of Newfound appreciation The Carter family was a prestigious household highly concerned with maintaining its reputation in moments like these a daughter-in-law needed to show Grace and composure Sophia also noticed Mrs Carter's reaction and her eyes flashed with irritation disgusting she sneered in her thoughts just wait when it's time for the Tea Ceremony I'll make sure you embarrass yourself honestly I found this ability to hear others thoughts incredibly useful it was like having a

cheat code for life everything became so much easier when the Tea Ceremony began I calmly lifted my gown and walked toward Mrs Carter Sophia kept her eyes locked on me mentally counting down 1 2 3 at the very last second I sidestepped just in time to avoid whatever she had planned instead she lost her balance and fell hard to the floor spilling tea all over herself oh no are you all right Ethan hurriedly reached out to help her up but in his mind I heard him scoff what an idiot the entire room turned to look

in our Direction Mrs Carter's face darkened with displeasure so reckless do you even look like a proper daughter-in-law I'm sorry mother it wasn't on purpose Sofia stammered trying to cover up her embarrassment but the unwillingness in her eyes was obvious if I were her I would have just accepted the loss and focused on living quietly but she wasn't willing to let me have peace so I certainly wouldn't go easy on her with Sophia making a fool of herself the wedding ended in an awkward Rush from start to finish Mrs Carter never once gave her a

kind look but when she turned to me there was nothing but approval in her gaze she even took my hand and said warmly Susan tonight I'll make sure Logan comes home to keep you company he should make it up to you and sure enough that night Logan actually came back the moment he walked through the door he loosened his tie his face filled with exhaustion I quickly stepped forward to take his jacket Logan you must be tired today I said gently he merely glanced at me and said nothing in my past life the servants had

gossiped about how on our wedding night Logan never came home my sister had waited alone in the bridal chamber becoming the laughing stock of the entire household when she went to Mrs Carter to complain she was scolded instead told that she lacked the ability to win over a man's heart while Logan was in the shower I prepared his bed made some tea and tidied up the couch for myself to sleep on when he came out and saw the scene a flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes I quickly explained you sleep on the bed I'll

take the couch he narrowed his eyes slightly studying me Susan are you trying to play hard to get draped in only a bathrobe his chest was slightly exposed beads of water still clinging to his skin I had to admit his physique was incredible I quickly averted my gaze we have no real feelings for each other sharing a bed would be awkward for both of us if possible I'd like to propose a partnership Logan raised an eyebrow what do you mean after after all our marriage is just a business Arrangement plenty of couples in our situation

live separate lives and only put on a show for appearances I married you simply to ensure a stable and comfortable life I don't expect love hearing my words he suddenly smirked you're smart that works for me too I can agree to that I was just an ordinary person I didn't have the skills or confidence to control a man's heart in the Carter family Logan's attitude toward me would largely depend on how Mrs Carter viewed me me I had no desire to end up like Sophia in our past life targeted and isolated by everyone that would

bring me no benefits besides in my past life Logan had been physically abusive toward Sophia I had no intention of provoking him and ending up in the same situation peaceful coexistence was the best option this time my only goal was to make money start my own business and Rise To Success on my own terms to maintain appearances I had Logan post a picture of us holding hands on on social media captioned happy newlyweds this way everyone would believe our marriage was fine as I scrolled through his profile I noticed how empty it was aside from

this new post there was nothing else someone like him must have a dull life that night Logan really did take the bed while I slept on the couch he had no concept of chivalry whatsoever but I should be grateful at least he didn't force me into anything the next morning I was woken up by the sound sound of Logan working out he was doing push-ups while listening to music I had heard that emotionally cold men were usually frail but his eight pack abs and toned calf muscles were proof of his Incredible strength far superior to

Ethan's physique stop staring I'm not interested in you Logan suddenly said getting up from the floor he put on his shirt and added get ready let's go eat breakfast I knew what he was really saying he wanted people to see us together to make it look like we were in love honestly he seemed reasonable I still couldn't understand why he had abused Sophia in our past life after getting dressed I left the house with Logan the moment we stepped outside I saw Sophia and Ethan walking toward us holding hands Sophia wore a strapless dress her

collarbone and shoulders covered in hickeys which she deliberately showed off as she leaned closer her face radiated Pride as she scanned me from head to toe she completely covered up she must have been beaten last night and is trying to hide the bruises her inner voice echoed in my mind followed by a smug smile Susan how was your wedding night she asked her voice laced with mockery today I was wearing an elegant long-sleeved Kong song sopia must have forgotten that Mrs Carter despised revealing outfits and excessive makeup but I wasn't about to remind her I

simply smiled Sophia based on seniority in the Carter family you should be addressing me as sister-in-law not sister her face darkened she clenched her teeth unwilling to accept it even Logan never calls you that what right do you have to demand it from me then she turned to Logan Logan say something I could feel the air around Logan growing colder in his mind Ethan cursed damn idiot just wait until tonight I'll teach you a lesson he tugged on Sophia's hand silently signaling her to stop talking but she was completely oblivious to the danger she had

just put herself in tell me Ethan Logan said calmly what is the first rule of the Carter family Ethan instantly lowered his head I'm sorry Logan I'll handle it right away the next second smack Ethan slapped safia hard across the face show proper respect greet your brother and sister-in-law properly he ordered safia's face turned red from the slap she was absolutely livid but she knew Logan wasn't someone she could defy begrudgingly she muttered through gritted teeth good morning brother good morning sister-in-law as soon as she said it Ethan dragged her away I remembered that the

first rule of the Carter family was that no one was allowed to disrespect The Heir or his wife addressing them improperly resulted in 30 lashes and Logan was the rightful heir of the Carter family I remembered that in my past life in order to survive I had memorized all the Carter family Rules back then after Sophia married Logan she constantly bullied me but because I knew this rule I never dared to show her disrespect I had assumed Sophia also knew the family Rules but clearly she hadn't remembered them that was why she thought she could

still bully me in this life by the time we arrived at the dining hall Sophia had already received her punishment her face was pale and she kept her head down not daring to sit for the moment under the table I caught a glimpse of Ethan pricking her hand with a needle repeatedly you worthless woman it's all your fault that I had to endure this humiliation he cursed in his mind pressing harder each time in my past life it wasn't long after I married him that he started abusing me he never allowed me to speak about

it and I had no way to escape I suffered immensely because of him that was why in this life I would rather be with Logan than ever end up with Ethan again Sophia this time you chose your own husband don't blame me Mrs Carter arrived and we all stood up to greet her she leaned on her cane and was about to let us take our seats when her gaze froze on Sophia Sophia hadn't changed out of her dress she was still wearing that strapless gown sensing Mrs Carter's disapproval she immediately forced a smile pretending to

be embarrassed mom it was all Ethan's doing he said he liked how I looked when carrying his child the moment those words left her mouth Mrs Carter's face face darkened with Fury she raised her cane and struck Sophia on the back Shameless what you do as a couple is your own business but you are not to speak of such things in public and don't ever dress so indecently again you're humiliating the family in my past life even a maid had been dismissed just for wearing shorts that was why I had always been careful I only

managed to survive in the Carter household because I lived cautiously but Sophia always assumed that my good life was because I had married the right man she completely misunderstood why did she think a good life had to depend on someone else I'm sorry Mom I didn't know safia whimpered sweat Beed on her forehead from the pain Ethan quickly chimed in pretending to take responsibility Mom it's my fault I forgot to remind her although he sounded remorseful I could hear his inner thoughts serves you right watching you get beaten is the best entertainment disgusting what a

psychopath since she was a newlywed daughter-in-law Mrs Carter didn't reprimand her any further she took her seat and instructed us all to eat Logan remained silent the entire time but while we ate he casually placed some food onto my plate I could feel safia's seething Gaze on me as if she wanted to tear me apart smiling even more brightly I said thank you honey Mrs Carter looked pleased as she turned to me Susan after lunch you should go to the company with Logan and start learning as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Carter family you need

to understand the business I had expected this in my past life she had said the same thing to Sophia at the dining table but Sophia had responded I don't want to learn I can just rely on Logan for the rest of my life she had willingly pushed away a golden opportunity so when she was eventually kicked out of the Carter family she had nothing left of course mom I replied obediently Logan took me to the company the entire ride I tried to listen to his thoughts but heard nothing well that made sense a man like

him wouldn't be swayed by emotions he had nothing to worry about when we arrived Logan brought me to his office wait here he said flatly before walking out through the glass door I saw him heading toward the conference room in a hurry curious I followed inside he was negotiating with a British businessman about selling a formula he had developed for fortunately before coming here I had already done my research this deal was a critical one for the Carter family I heard the British man's thoughts loud and clear this formula is only worth a few hundred

Yuan this time I'll make sure to rip the Carter family off I looked at him in Surprise his expression was calm and composed giving nothing away no one would suspect the scheming going on in his mind he confidently quoted a price of 3 million Logan hesitated not responding immediately sensing an opportunity the man pressed further Mr Carter I assure you this product will bring you far more value than 3 million just as Lovin was about to agree I pushed the door open and walked in hello I greeted in English then I picked up the bottle

of skincare serum he had developed and examined it closely I'm a woman I understand skincare products better than most your formula only contains whitening ingredients it doesn't have any anti-aging or wrinkle reducing properties and as an engineer you should know that surface level whitening effects are negligible at best so tell me why exactly is this formula worth 3 million the British man was stunned Logan leaned back watching me with interest not interrupting I took that as a silent invitation to continue however I added since this is a foreign product and you've done quite a bit

of promotion on social media many people are already familiar with and trust your brand so I'll offer you this amount I raised a single finger 1 million I said the man looked shocked Jack 1 million is already quite generous think it over Logan said his gaze sharp no no no I interrupted I'll give you 10,000 for a formula that's barely worth a few hundred 10,000 is already my final offer the room fell silent the British man stood up abruptly clearly angry in broken Chinese he demanded Miss who are you to name such a price how

am I supposed to do business like this fine I won't sell it it's not like you must have it with that he turned to leave Jack Logan's voice was calm yet commanding I'll give you 1 million sign the contract now and I expect you to apologize to my wife Jack froze mid-step his eyes lit up with excitement as he immediately turned around I was completely baffled by Logan's decision and tried to stop him but he shook his head slightly signaling me to stay quiet I had no choice but to hold back Mr Carter you're a

real businessman Jack said with a pleased smile Benny turned to me I apologize Mrs Carter I didn't realize you were Mr Carter's wife after that Logan took Jack to sign the contract when it was all over I still couldn't understand that formula was only worth a few hundred bucks why did you pay him a million I asked Logan took a sip of coffee and spoke in an unhurried tone you have a good business instinct but you don't fully understand the market yet Jack's formula itself is worthless I knew that from the start what I wanted

was the brand he built although it's not well known yet he's already established a strong reputation among young women with just a little more promotion I can easily make back that million suddenly it all clicked so that's why Jack had been so confident he knew his brand had value coming here was definitely the right choice I was learning things I never would have in my my past life but I was still curious how did you know the formula was only worth a few hundred Logan fixed his sharp Gaze on me I forced an awkward smile

I guessed he didn't question me further but I took this opportunity to make a request I want to run one of your branch companies in my past life Ethan had no status in the Carter family and couldn't give me anything I had always wanted to start my own business to be my own boss that way I wouldn't have to rely on anyone once I made enough money I could leave Logan studied me for a moment before smirking you're pretty ambitious you're not planning to take the company make a fortune and then disappear are you his

piercing gaze made me feel exposed as if he could see right through me damn it how was he better at reading people than I was for the first time I felt inferior I had a literal superpower yet he still outmatched me this must be what true Talent looked like of course not I said with a smile I just want to find something to do I said Logan took a sip of his coffee and nodded fine but you need to learn from me first before I let you take charge for the next few days I followed

Logan to the company and learned a lot not just about business but also about how to navigate relationships and social situations surprisingly one day he took the initiative to invite me out for dinner and not just anywhere it was the most luxurious Western restaurant in town I didn't expect to run into Sophia and Ethan there Sophia had been cutting his steak for him but the moment she saw Logan and me walk in she immediately put down her knife and fork looking startled Susan you're here too she quickly realized her mistake and corrected herself I mean

brother sister-in-law you're here for dinner as well the next second I heard her inner thoughts what the hell of all times why did I have to run into her now I can't lose face yes I said with a smile Logan and I came to have dinner together as I spoke I took the initiative to Loop my arm through Logan's he didn't resist Ethan quickly stepped forward and greeted us brother sister-in-law Logan didn't acknowledge them instead he pulled me toward a table and sat us down I caught the Furious look in Sophia's eyes as she watched

us she was probably wondering why Logan hadn't hit me yet why had he even taken me out to dinner when I went to the restroom Sofia was waiting for me outside her expression was murderous just like the look she had when she drove into me in my past life you must be getting beaten up behind closed doors she sneered stop pretending just looking at you makes me sick hearing her words I chuckled softly then my eyes landed on the needle marks on her arm oh my sopia I said with mocked concern what happened to your

arm so many needle marks her eyes flashed with panic as she quickly covered her arm glaring at me none of your business it's just something fun between Ethan and me then she smirked leaning in not that you'd understand Logan probably hasn't even touched you has he unlike Ethan he wants me all night long I'm exhausted she was clearly miserable but still trying to act Superior I was curious how long she could keep up this facade that's wonderful I said with a bright smile I wish you both a lifetime of happiness I turned to leave but

she suddenly grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked hard you are you mocking me she snarled I frowned she was just as insane as she had been in my past life I struggled to break free but before I could Logan appeared out of nowhere without hesitation he kicked her away disrespecting your sister-in-law he said coldly towering over her do you know what the punishment for that is I remembered the punishment was being locked in the underground cell had been sent there once before because of Sophia that place was filled with countless rats cockroaches and

snakes she knew exactly what fade awaited her her face turned deathly pale brother I didn't mean to please don't do this but Logan was never one to be soft-hearted once he made a decision he never changed his mind he ordered Ethan to take her away I heard Ethan curse in his thoughts hope she dies in there less trouble for me Logan took me back to oured bedroom and checked my head are you okay I'm fine I said brushing his hand away she just pulled my hair a little I straightened my clothes and fixed my hair

before glancing at him but why did you suddenly come to the restroom his dark eyes met mine you were gone for a while I was about to ask why you got into an argument with her again I hesitated I couldn't exactly tell him that Sophia had been reborn and was deliberately targeting me so I simply said she told me that she and Ethan are intimate every night and that they're very happy unlike you who won't even touch me that's why we argued hearing my words Logan's eyes darkened slightly so are you hinting at something I

immediately realized he had misunderstood me waving my hands in a panic I quickly clarified no no that's not what I meant I was just explaining why we argued Logan stared at me intensely Susan have you ever thought about doing that with me of course not I blurted out without hesitation I told you I only want to rely on you for a stable life that's all that's all he pressed I nodded firmly he said nothing else instead he suddenly slammed the door behind him and left I had no idea which part of my words had upset

him nor did I care I only wanted to focus on my own plans the next day Logan didn't take me to the company instead he sent me to the branch office to manage it on my own I threw myself into running the company determined to make 10 million before stepping away every day I chased down projects negotiated deals and brought in significant profits Mrs Carter even allowed me to take my share of earnings directly just as I was reving in my financial success sopia was finally released from the underground cell that day I had just

finished work and returned home when I saw her she had lost a lot of weight but she was still carefully dressed her makeup Flawless her clothes elegant she clung to Ethan as they walked toward me step by step sister-in-law she said sweetly I've already asked Mom for permission to learn the company business from you I want to help ease your workload but in her mind I heard very soon I'll make sure you and Logan die together a sudden realization hit me Logan's death in my past life had been sudden and unexplained so it was Ethan

he was the one who had caused it and now not only did he want to kill Logan but he wanted to kill me too I controlled my emotions and smiled at Sophia great you can start tomorrow I deliberately agreed because I wanted to know exactly what they were planning sure enough the next moment I heard her inner thoughts what an idiot just wait I'll kill you both soon and live freely so she had spent days in the underground cell but was still clear-headed too bad she didn't know I could hear her thoughts there was no

way she could kill me Logan had died for from poisoning in my past life now I recalled the time I had seen a cabinet full of colorful vials in Ethan's basement back then he frequently used them to experiment on me sometimes they made me pass out other times they set my body into overdrive thinking about it now those were probably his poison samples I brought Sophia to the company and made her start as an intern she had learned to hide her emotions now agreeing to everything I said without hesitation I knew exactly why she was

meticulously plotting a murder Ethan wanted Logan and me dead but Sophia she wanted Ethan dead too that was something I could use to my advantage it didn't take long before I set my plan in motion behind Logan's back I went to find Ethan I knew him well he liked obedient women that was how I had survived by his side for so long in my past life so this time I deliberately dressed provocatively and looked at him with faint admiration Ethan I like you his interest was immediately peaked sister-in-law aren't you afraid my brother will kill

you I bit my lip pretending to be shy I've always wanted to be with you then I lowered my voice and added and I have something important to tell you he leaned in intrigued sopia wants to poison you I whispered yesterday at the company I overheard her talking to a man about it Ethan's face darkened instantly Fury burning in his eyes are you serious of course I nodded she said you always hit her so she's going to kill you she wants to rise to power on her own because of my past life memories I knew

exactly how to manipulate him hearing my words Ethan believed me completely his deepest darkest Secrets his violent nature his cruelty were known only to Sophia and himself no one else could possibly know that be he spat I'll make her pay then he turned to me with a Sly grin sister-in-law just wait once I get rid of both Logan and her you'll be my wife after saying that Ethan left ha does he really think I'm that stupid there was no way I would follow him without wasting any time I went straight to Logan his life didn't

directly affect me but in this life he had helped me he had given me opportunities to earn money and had even taken the time to share business strategies with me when I entered his office and told him everything he looked surprised do you have any proof that Ethan wants to kill me I pulled out a voice recorder and played back our conversation the first part was me deliberately seducing Ethan to gain his trust even I cringed at how flirtatious I sounded so I quickly explained I was just pretending to gain his trust Logan didn't respond

but his face darkened slightly sensing the change in his mood I wisely shut my mouth the next second he suddenly pulled me into his arms the scent of pinewood surrounded me and I could hear his heart beating steadily against my ear I froze completely caught off guard he looked down at me his gaze intense Susan I advise you never to have thoughts of betraying me as long as you are my wife you should remain loyal to me this idiot how did he twist the situation into this forget about that for now I said Shifting the

conversation the important thing is that your brother is planning to kill you what do you want to do about it Logan's expression remained indifferent let's see if he actually has the ability to kill me if he fails then he's the one who dies it was as if he didn't take Ethan's schemes seriously at all that night instead of staying cautious he even brought me to a banquet saying it would help with the branch company's development and allow me to meet potential clients as soon as we stepped inside I could feel the weight of countless stairs

most of them weren't friendly men are all the same if I had known I wouldn't have brought her along I suddenly heard Logan's inner voice and turned to look at him in shock his face was completely expressionless did he just think that what does he mean by that sensing my gaze he looked down at me what's wrong I quickly shook my head nothing but then I heard another thought from him she's so clueless I was stunned the cold and arrogant CEO in my memory was thinking this I forced myself to stay calm and kept my

emotions in check after the banquet Logan took took me home Sophia and Ethan were waiting for us in the living room Sophia smiled warmly and invited us to dinner Ethan on the other hand couldn't stop staring at my chest then with an easygoing grin he said brother sister-in-law Sophia and I bought some really nice ingredients today come eat with us damn it could he be any more obvious I genuinely couldn't understand how had Logan fallen for such a pathetic trap in my past life the dining table was filled with delicious dishes but I didn't dare

take a single bite under the table I reached for Logan's hand and squeezed it as a warning but the next second before I could react he had already picked up his Chopsticks and taken a bite it tastes good he said casually letun all eat together sopia and Ethan exchanged a quick glance their eyes flashing with delight my Panic surged I dug my nails into Logan's hand trying to get him to stop but he didn't even Flinch I literally told told him they were trying to kill him why is he still eating as soon as that

thought crossed my mind Logan and safia both collapsed onto the table Mrs Carter stormed in at that moment her face livid guards take these two filthy traders to the underground cell they are never to leave again I barely had time to process what was happening before Logan turned his head toward me his lips curving into a faint smirk Susan I'm not as foolish as you think he said I already informed formed my mother to install security cameras throughout the house the moment Ethan spiked the drinks we switched them out instead of poison they're the ones

who drank sedatives then his voice lowered slightly but you seemed really scared for me just now you're not falling for me are you for some reason my heart started racing at his words I'm not I said quickly I was just afraid that if you died I'd have no one to rely on he let out a brilliant smile is that so with Sophia and Ethan locked away in the underground cell I finally breathed a sigh of relief the two people I feared most were now out of the picture I had also made enough money now the

only thing left was to bring up divorce with Logan but I had been waiting for an opportunity and Logan had been incredibly busy barely coming home I could only wait for the right time that day I heard from the servants that Ethan and Sophia had been repeatedly asking to see me I decided to visit Sophia first her hair was a mess and she looked exhausted but her eyes still burned with unwillingness how did you know I was trying to kill you how did you find out the next second her eyes widened in realization I see

you came back too didn't you I smiled and looked at her sopia you're only realizing that now her face Twisted in Fury as she lunged at the bars gripping them tightly as if she wanted to rip me apart you little bee you've been hiding so well you knew Ethan was a psychopath all along didn't you you just stood by and watched me jump into the abyss Susan you're so cruel I met her gaze staring at a face that bore some resemblance to mine she was my sister by blood yet in my past life she had

personally killed me if I hadn't been able to hear thoughts in this life I would have died all over again you chose Ethan yourself you also chose Logan no matter who you pick you're never satisfied so you blame me but have you ever thought that the real problem is you I said coldly you want to rely on men I just want to rely on myself that's the difference between us but why do things always go smoothly for you no matter who you're with she screamed in frustration you think my life is easy I scoffed I've

been fighting for my survival every step of the way I earned everything I have but you you've never put in any effort you expect others to save you that's why you deserve this outcome with that I turned and walked away behind me safia screamed in Rage just you wait next time I won't lose to you next I went to see Ethan he was neatly folding a blanket some habits never changed his obsessive compulsive Tendencies were still there when he saw me he actually chuckled Susan you're clever he said you're a great actress you know I

actually believed you wanted to be with me I was fully prepared to kill Sophia and Logan for you but you gave me quite the surprise you deserved it I snapped glaring at him his face overlapped with the Twisted image of him from my past life the man who had tortured me my anger burned even hotter he took slow deliberate steps toward me his gaze sweeping over me from head to toe if I wasn't locked up here he murmured I'd pin you down and inject you with something that would make you feel pure Bliss I couldn't

listen anymore Ethan you're going to rot in hell I spat before turning and running out even after I left the underground cell my breath was still unsteady I couldn't shake the image of his deranged expression but at least in this life I had finally escaped him that night Logan came home drunk the moment he stepped into the bedroom he stumbled forward crashing into me we both fell to the floor you're drunk I muttered trying to push him off I'll go make you some sobering tea but he didn't move instead he started unbuttoning his shirt his

pierc eyes locking onto mine with intense possessiveness I froze in that instant I realized he wasn't drunk at all Logan think carefully about what you're doing I said my voice firm we just Partners you are not allowed to touch me he suddenly covered my mouth and whispered in my ear no matter what you are my wife and I will touch you I shoved him away no I want a divorce you can't touch me the room fell into complete silence Logan's face darkened he slowly released me his expression unwritable I knew it he muttered I knew

you were planning to leave me there was something about the way he said it he sounded defeated Susan you're a heartless woman he said have you already forgotten me I frowned what do you mean his deep black eyes locked onto mine do you remember Chase his words pulled me back into childhood memories I was still in elementary school back then there was a boy with long hair who always wore mask the other kids constantly mocked him calling him weak and girly but I stood up for him shielding him from their taunts and leading him to

the back of the school you can't be this timid I told him you have to learn to protect yourself he slowly lifted his head and took off his mask thank you he said softly I just want to grow out my hair so I can donate it to my aunt she has cancer that was the first time I saw his face and I was stunned he was incredibly handsome at that moment I fell for him at First Sight from that day on I stayed by his side protecting him every day he told me his name was

Chase later his aunt passed away and he moved away I've been looking for you all these years Logan continued his voice low until the day I discovered I could hear your thoughts I didn't realize you were the person I had been searching for all along because I can only hear your thoughts he let out a small bitter chuckle I never revealed myself because I was waiting for you to come to me first I wanted to see if you still remembered me his voice grew even softer then one day I heard your thoughts you said that
