On the night she thought she would finally get everything she had ever wished for, Celeste Devereaux lost it all. The dazzling lights of her birthday gala became the stage of her humiliation. The man she spent years loving stood before everyone and reached for another woman's hand. Her best friend smiled. The cameras flashed. And the world watched as Celeste Devereaux became a joke. Heartbroken, she left the party without knowing that death was already waiting for her. A deserted road. A car chasing from behind. Brakes that wouldn't work. A blinding light. Then darkness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself trapped beneath the ocean, staring at her own lifeless body. She thought nobody would come. She was wrong. A man she had never seen before dove into the freezing depths and carried her broken body back to the surface as if she were the most precious thing in the world. "I'm sorry." "I came too late." Unable to leave his side, Celeste followed him and uncovered the truth she had never known. The betrayal. The conspiracy. The people who destroyed her family. The secrets hidden behind every smile. And the identity of the man who loved her in silence. By the time she learned everything, it was already too late. Or so she thought. When fate sends her back to the past, Celeste is given another chance. This time, she won't chase the wrong man. This time, she won't ignore the people who truly care for her. And this time... She'll choose the man who crossed an ocean to find her. The man who avenged her. The man who loved her. Even after death. Because in her first life, she chose the man who destroyed her. In this life... She chooses him.

Christian Hendrix's story (straight out of Coffee And Papers) * * * His heart was broken by the rejection from his one true love and now, a possible way surfaced for him to grow out of that pain. There was no thinking twice. He accepted the proposal and now, he's about to marry the only child of a business tycoon except, she's no ordinary person. Twenty-three-year-old Harieth Gryffin was a woman dazzled by the materialistic features of this world. A total opposite to his first love. A living epitome of your typical blonde heiress. Shopaholic, carefree, sassy and child-like attitude. A date was fixed and the media fully informed but it seems the Gryffins are up to something a little sinister behind the cameras. * * * My husband, whose heart belongs to another. * * * "I..." "You seem to have forgotten why you're standing here in the first place... Perhaps, I should remind you. We're getting married tomorrow just because I wish to see my family's company progress further. Therefore, because of the money. For future reference, there's no need for you to act like a wife. Don't ask me questions relating to my personal life and don't try to get close to me. I don't like you now and I definitely won't like you in a few months." With that, he walked away, leaving me to reminisce on his harsh statement. A crazy chuckle escaped my lips as I try my best not to feel affected by his words. Definitely, I've heard worse. * * * I won't call this book a sequel because it can be read as a standalone.
