Someone gifts Ruth Sterling, the matriarch of the Sterling family, a sapphire necklace worth tens of millions of dollars. My sister, Chloe Sue, desperately wants it but doesn't have the nerve to ask. Instead, she shoots a pitiful glance at Julian Vance, who knows the Sterling family owes me a favor. So, he gently coaxes me into cashing in that favor to get the million-dollar jewel for my sister. In my previous life, I did exactly what they wanted, playing right into their hands and getting the necklace for Chloe. But less than a month after wearing it, Chloe dies. That is when everyone discovers the sapphire is highly radioactive. But death is final. Unable to change the past, Julian fulfills the strategic engagement and marries me anyway. On our wedding night, just as I am unbuttoning my dress to consummate our marriage, he suddenly fixes me with a freezing, indifferent stare. "If you hadn't asked for that necklace, Chloe wouldn't have died," he sneers. "Hannah Sue, I will make you pay for this." He tortures me for the rest of my life. When I open my eyes again, I am right back at the private banquet where Ruth is showing off the jewel. Julian coaxes me with a charming smile. "Hannah, go ask Mrs. Sterling to give that necklace to your sister, okay?"
