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.

What was the result? She lost her inheritance, her family, got cheated on by that man with her best friend, and finally died a miserable death at the hands of her then fiance with her best friend. At the last moments of her life, she saw the only man who loved her, a man she had grown to hate, rush to her like a madman.

The pain she felt in the previous life, they'd feel it a million times more.
