Anne, a shy and introvert woman, was in love with Denis for ten years. But Denis had someone in his heart. When his girlfriend left him to pursue her career, he finally noticed Anne and asked her to be his girlfriend. 
Anne stayed devoted to him for three years, but Denis cheated on her with his first love. Worse, his scheming ex-girlfriend killed her. 
Fate gave her another chance. Anne was reborn. This time, she vowed to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. 
Augustine, the CEO of the Sphere Group of industries, was powerful and wealthy. But he died from his family’s conspiracy. 
Reborn, he was determined to punish those who had schemed against him. 
In his past life, he had failed to protect Anne, his savior. This time, he vowed to love her and keep her safe with his life. 
But Anne no longer believed in love.

“Will you marry me?” Augustine’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and nervousness. 
However, Anne was calm. “Yes,” she replied blankly. “I’ll marry you. But don’t expect anything from me. Love is the last thing I can give you.” 
He smirked and took a step closer to her. “Miss Clair,” he pinched her chin, “are you sure you won’t fall for me? Can you resist my charm?” 
Anne’s breathing hitched, her stomach fluttering. The challenge in his eyes and his husky voice threaten to shatter her resolve to never fall in love again. 
“Let me promise you one thing: in this life, I’ll love you, cherish you always. All I want is your faith.”

 Gustave stepped into the study, his expression serious as he delivered his report. "Madam Anne ran into trouble at the office today. She claimed that someone deliberately deleted an important file from her laptop."


Augustine's sharp gaze lifted from the papers on his desk, his focus shifting entirely to Gustave as he continued.


"She and Becca had a heated argument in front of everyone. It took people by surprise because Becca has always been considered her closest friend at work. But that's not all," Gustave paused. "Onlookers said that Becca accused Madam Anne of seducing her boss."


A dark shadow crossed Augustine's face.


"She can't be a friend—she never was," he muttered. "Check on this woman. I want to know everything about her. If she is causing trouble for Anne, I'll make sure she regrets it."
