When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the night before my debut.
That same night, my brother ordered the staff to change my debut press conference to Alessia’s.
Nicholas even went out of his way to attend just to support her.
They both believed they had failed Alessia in the past life. And if they were given a second chance, they would do everything in their power to make it up to her.
Disillusioned and heartbroken, I made a decision. I would leave.
The night I packed my bags, my brother dismissed my departure as nothing more than a childish tantrum.
"The world outside isn’t as gentle as you imagine. You were raised too sheltered, too naive. Maybe it’s time for you to experience hardship."
"Only then will you understand how difficult life was for Alessia. Only then will you stop seeing her as your enemy."
It had been three years since that night.
And now, today, I had returned only to find myself face-to-face with them once more.
I never imagined our reunion would unfold in such a humiliating way.
"Nicholas, Matteo, you’re both here! Having you both by my side makes me feel so much safer."
