    Eileen sensed her body floating through the air. Ssh! The next thing she knew, ice-cold water


    sshed against her face. Eileen mustered all her strength and forced her eyes open. Shivers ran


    down her body as she gazed up to find Eric staring at her. He turned off the shower when he saw that


    Eileen was awake. With a disdainful look, as if he were viewing a despicable prostitute, he eximed,


    “I can’t believe you’d drug me, Eileen! How shameless can you be?” Eileen nced about and realized


    that she was in the bathroom inside Eric’s bedroom. Huh? Didn’t I just die? Why am I here? Did I get


    reborn or something? The ce was in disarray, with toothbrushes and shampoo bottles scattered on


    the floor. Eric, in a dark-colored suit, had wet hair and a wet chest. Judging by the look of anger in his


    eyes, it became obvious that things were pretty heated a moment ago. After taking a moment to recall


    what was going on, Eileen remembered that this incident took ce on Eric’s birthday eight years ago.


    Nursing a long-standing crush on him, she changed into a sexy, ckce nightgown and decided to


    present herself to him as a gift. To ensure the sess of her n, she had spiked Eric’s wine with an


    aphrodisiac. However, Eric somehow saw through her scheme and forced that wine down Eileen’s


    throat instead. After that, he dragged her into the bedroom. It didn’t take long for the aphrodisiac’s


    effects to kick in. As Eileen’s body got hotter, she tore her nightgown off and threw herself at Eric.


    Eventually, Eric dragged her into the bathroom and hosed her down with the shower. That was what led


    to the current situation they were in. Eileen realized she had been reborn to the time when she was


    eighteen. Kneeling in front of Eileen, Eric fixed her with a cold gaze. Devoid of any affection, he uttered,


    “This is the final time I’m making it clear, Eileen! I’ll never have feelings for you, so stop wasting your


    time on me! I’m your brother, and that won’t change. You’re on your own.” With that statement, Eric


    turned away and left. Struggling to rise from the bathroom floor, Eileen swayed unsteadily. When she


    nced at the mirror, she observed her slender arms and youthful face. Her cheeks were still flushed


    from the effects of the aphrodisiac, and her nightgowny in tatters, rendering her appearance nothing


    short of absurd. Eric is right. He is indeed my brother… She was fifteen when she first met Eric. Her


    father, Will Swan, had brought Eric home and said to her, “He’ll be your brother from now on.” Despite


    his young age, Eric exuded a surprisingly mature aura. However, he had a cold personality and always


    kept his distance from her. Despite his efforts to avoid her, Eileen found herself falling in love with him


    from the moment they first met. Eric, on the other hand, persistently avoided her advances and


    constantly reminded her that they were siblings. Even so, Eileen was so madly in love with him that she


    refused to give up no matter what. The more Eric tried to distance himself, the more determined she


    became to get closer to him. Eileen’s possessiveness reached a point where seeing Eric with other


    women drove her to the brink of madness. On one asion, she went all out, dressing up and baking


    him a cake. However, upon arriving at his office, she witnessed an attractive woman smiling warmly at


    him. Consumed by jealousy, Eileen impulsively smashed the cake onto the woman’s head, creating a


    chaotic scene. The woman, covered in cream, produced a contract from her bag. To Eileen’s


    embarrassment, it turned out the woman was a representative from apany there for a business


    discussion with Eric. Furious at Eileen for disrupting the business deal, Eric stormed off and went


    missing for a few days. In order to look for him, Eileen skipped sses and waited outside his office


    daily. Whether out of exhaustion from her relentless pursuit or for other reasons, Eric eventually agreed


    to date her. Not long after, she was able to force Eric into marrying her as well. However, Eileen’s one-


    sided love ultimately resulted in her losing everything. Returning to her bedroom, she took a shower,


    changed into a clean nightgown, and patiently waited for the effects of the aphrodisiac to wear off


    before lying down on her bed. The room, adorned with a pink color theme and girly décor, emanated a


    feminine atmosphere. This is my bedroom before I got married… Eileen’s heart sank as shey on her


    bed, the familiar surroundings enveloping her. She had been reborn and sent back to a moment in time


    before the tragedy took ce. While it wasn’t all the way before things went downhill, it wasn’t toote


    for her to do something about it either. A mix of indescribable joy and profound pain coursed through


    her as she crossed her trembling arms. At that moment, Eileen vowed to not make the same mistakes


    again. This time, I shall live for myself instead!
