In my previous life, both my best friend and I ended up marrying the guys we tried to save. My best friend, Claire Evans, took a good-for-nothing thug and turned him into a top-tier movie star. As for me, I paved the way for a poor, aloof campus heartthrob and pushed him all the way to the top of the business world. But when the kidnappers held a knife to our throats, both men didn't even hesitate before choosing their childhood sweetheart. Ryan Carter, the man who could shake up the entire business world, gently wrapped his arms around the girl. When he looked at me, his eyes were full of hatred. Ryan said, "If you hadn't leaned on your family and pushed me at every turn, do you think I'd ever have married a woman like you? Everything I have now feels like a humiliation you forced on me!" Jason Reed glared at Claire, his face twisted with anger. Jason said, "If I wasn't worried you'd hurt Emily, do you think I'd have put up with you this long? Letting you stomp all over my pride with your lousy money!" So that was it. We thought we'd given them everything. But to them, everything we'd given was the price they'd had to pay, swallowing their pride so they could protect the ones they really loved. We were reborn together, right back to the day when Jason was cornered in that alley. Claire and I turned around and walked away. This time, we wouldn't push anyone anymore.
