Fulfill my fiancée and her childhood sweetheart

On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, my father’s brother-in-arms pushed photos of his daughters in front of me and told me to choose a fiancee.

Without hesitation, I picked the photo of the eldest daughter, Sophia Montgomery.

Everyone around me stared in shock.

They all knew that I was deeply in love with the second daughter, Isabella Montgomery.

In my previous life, I had chased after Isabella for ten years before finally marrying her.

Through our marriage, she became the heiress of the Montgomery family.

But three years after we got married, she became pregnant with my brother’s child.

Our parents were furious. They forced her to get an abortion and sent my brother away.

From then on, Isabella hated me to the core.

Every night, she would bring home men who looked like my brother and spend the night with them.

The constant torment wore me down, and I eventually fell gravely ill and died a miserable death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that night when I had to choose a fiancee.

This time, I chose to let them be together.

But what I did not expect was that Isabella had been reborn too.

The Montgomery sisters had been waiting outside the room.

With an unspoken understanding, they nudged Isabella Montgomery toward me.

“Well, Alexander, you’ve been chasing after Isabella since you were a kid. Guess you finally got what you wanted, huh?”

“Tsk, tsk. You’re the eldest son of the Knight family. Do you really have to be this desperate?”

Isabella crossed her arms and stared at me in mockery.

“So, you’ve set your sights on me, huh? I know our parents have talked about this marriage, but I’d advise you not to get your hopes up. If your family’s offer doesn’t meet my expectations, I won’t marry you.”

Her voice was cold and disdainful.

Her self-serving attitude was exactly the same as in the previous life.

My love had never meant anything to her.

I looked at her and said indifferently, “Isabella, you’re not the only daughter in the Montgomery family.”

Her arrogance dropped a notch as soon as I said that.

Confused glances passed between the sisters.

Our families’ friendship dated back to the founding of the Bellaion.

They had made a pact that the next generation would unite the family through marriage.

As the engagement did not happen in our parents’ generation, it was passed down to us.

The Montgomery family even declared that whoever married me would inherit the family legacy.

After a beat of silence, Isabella let out a soft chuckle.

“Alexander, you seriously think that weak attempt would get to me?”

The Montgomery sisters recovered from their brief pause and chuckled with her.

“Isabella, our family business will reach new heights with you at the helm. Just don’t forget about us when you’re running the show.”

Isabella basked in their flattery with a smug grin plastered across her face.

After a while, she cast me a dismissive glance.

“You’ve spent ten years chasing after me. Who else would even want you? Let me make one thing clear...”

She gestured for the other Montgomery sisters to leave the room.

“To avoid repeating the same mistakes, I’ll marry you. But my heart belongs to Sebastian. As long as you stay out of our way, I’ll let you have the title and honor of being my husband in name.”

My eyes widened in shock at those words.

In the previous life, she had hidden it too well. She had never dared say something like that outright.

Had she been reborn, too?

Just as I hesitated to ask, a figure approached us.

“Alexander, what are you and Isabella doing standing here?”

Sebastian Knight was talking to me, but his gaze was fixed on Isabella.

Isabella’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. She turned around and threw herself into Sebastian’s arms.

Then, she cooed in a tone I had never heard her use before.

“Sebastian, what are you doing here?”

Sebastian was stunned for a second before he wrapped his arms around her even tighter.

He shot me a taunting look and tried to sound flustered.

“Isabella, you’re Alexander’s fiancee. This isn’t proper.”

Isabella snorted.

“Nothing about this is improper. If he blames you, he can forget about marrying me.”

With that, she grabbed Sebastian’s hand without hesitation and walked away.

I rubbed the photo of Sophia Montgomery in my hand and sneered.

‘Isabella, I was never going to marry you anyway.’

The coming-of-age ceremony was nearing its end.

Most of the guests had left when Isabella and Sebastian finally reappeared.

Isabella had changed into a high-neck gown, while faint, suggestive marks adorned Sebastian’s neck.

The air between them was so thick with intimacy that one could almost smell it.

The old me would have stormed up to them in a fit of rage and confronted them.

However, I had seen this play out countless times in my past life.

I was numb to it.

I tipped my head back and drained my glass of wine. Then, I turned to leave.

When Isabella saw my indifference, she frowned.

For the first time, she called out to me.

“Alexander, what’s with the attitude? I’m your fiancee, and Sebastian’s your brother. It’s rude of you to leave without even saying hi! Did you forget your manners? Apologize to me and Sebastian right now, or you’re not getting your birthday gift this year!”

She was clutching a small ring box.

Sebastian took it from her and waved it in front of me with a smug look.

“Alexander, Isabella had this custom-made just for you! She put a lot of thought into it.”

My gaze followed the box. That was when I noticed a custom ring on Sebastian’s finger.

The logo matched the one on the box in his hands.

I sneered and said sarcastically, “She put a lot of thought into it? Looks to me like the ring on your finger took more thought than that.”

Sebastian could barely suppress his grin. He put on a look of mock innocence.

“What? No way! This one’s just a bonus that came with your gift.”

Sebastian flipped open the ring box and tossed it at me.

I did not reach out for it.

The box hit the floor with a soft thud. A silv...
