At the wedding, I, Claire Goodwin, could tell right away that the guy in the tuxedo wasn't Samuel Grant. But I still stood by his side as if nothing was wrong. Because in my previous life, I exposed the fake groom in front of everyone, and Samuel ended up dragging himself back to finish the wedding with me. But on our wedding night, his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte Quinn, got into a car accident and was rushed to the ER. When Samuel heard the news, he didn't even blink. Right in front of me, he said, "She had it coming." After the wedding, Samuel and I acted like the perfect couple, while I kept bailing out his failing family business with money from the Goodwin family. On our third anniversary, Samuel locked me in a mountaintop freezer room with his own hands. There was nothing but coldness in Samuel's eyes. "If you hadn't forced me to come back and marry you that day, Charlotte wouldn't have been left with a crippled leg. "What makes you think you deserve to be my wife? I'm going to make you suffer like she did, trapped in that car, waiting for death." I was frozen all night, and when I came to, I found myself lying in the morgue. This time, I played dumb and went through with the wedding, pretending I didn't know the groom was a fake. I wanted to see how long the Grant family's crumbling empire could last without the Goodwin family's money.
