The Hypnotic Game Behind the Starlight

Chapter 1Liam and I were reborn at the same time.In our past life, we were inseparable, loving each other until we were old and gray.This time around, I was eagerly anticipating him proposing to me just like he did before.But instead, he hired a hypnotist to erase my memories, and then he turned around and married my half-sister, Brittany.“Madison, in the last life, Brittany was married off to a foreign country where she suffered terribly and died. I don't want her to go through that again, so I have to marry her.”“I don’t want to hurt you, so after the hypnosis, you’ll forget about me. Once I help Brittany out of danger, I’ll find the hypnotist to restore your memories. Then I’ll divorce her and marry you in style.”Seeing that his mind was made up, I didn't hesitate and agreed to the hypnosis.He didn't know that once this hypnosis began, the memories couldn't be recovered at all.In five days, I would completely forget him.1.“The hypnosis is complete, Mr. Faulkner.”The hypnotist put away his pocket watch.Liam Faulkner looked at me, having just completed the hypnosis, his eyes full of unease.“I know you don’t like Brittany. You must be angry that I’m marrying her.”“But don’t worry, I would never do anything to hurt you. You're the heiress, so being married off to a foreign country will definitely never happen to you.

I had always resented her.But now he wanted to protect her with all his heart.Seeing that I didn't speak, Liam furrowed his brow slightly, looking a little flustered.“You’ve been hypnotized and will soon forget about me. I promise you won't be sad because I'm marrying someone else.” “When it’s all over, I’ll find the hypnotist to restore your memory. You’ll forget what happened during this time, and we can go back to the way we were.”The hypnotist next to him was about to say something, but Liam interrupted him.“Alright, that’s enough from you.”I knew what the hypnotist wanted to say.Hypnosis doesn't make you lose your memory immediately. It slowly makes you lose your memory under psychological suggestion.But with such a long and deep hypnosis, the memory could not be restored.I looked at Liam and smiled.“Since you've already made up your mind and confessed to her, you don't need to keep explaining it to me. Just make sure you can handle the consequences.”Seeing that I wasn't angry, Liam breathed a sigh of relief, a...
