Chapter 1
Vegas tycoon Camden Thorne held a high–stakes poker tournament for marriage–the winner would get to marry him.]
Everyone thought this was a romantic proposal he’d designed just for me.[]
Because not only was I his childhood sweetheart of ten years, but I was also the Casino King’s daughter.[]
I was bound to win.]
But I deliberately threw the game.[]
All because…]
In my past life, after I won that tournament, Camden married me in a grand ceremony.[]
But his widowed sister–in–law Scarlett became so depressed from losing to me that she killed herself, leaving behind a tearful suicide note accusing me of cheating.
After reading it, Camden said nothing and had me dragged straight to her grave to kneel in repentance.[]
“If you hadn’t cheated. Scarlett would’ve won. She should have been my wife, you poisonous bitch!”
Love cheating so much? Let’s see how you pull those dirty tricks without hands!“]
With that, he had my hand tendons severed.]]
Then he also framed my father with massive debts and drove him to jump from the top floor in despair.]]
In the end, I was hunted down by loan sharks and died miserably in an underground casino…]]
When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn to the day of the gamble.]
And this time? I’m gonna give Camden exactly what he wants.[]
From now on, we’re even.]]
No more debts between us.
…0
“Scarlett has the 7-8-9-10–J of hearts, a straight flush! Melody has four kings. Straight flush beats four of a kind!“]]
“So… Congrats to–Scarlett Rivers!”
The dealer’s booming announcement sent the whole place into chaos.]
“No freaking way! Melody actually lost? She’s the casino king’s daughter–been crushing every game since she was ten.“]
“Scarlett totally cheated, right?“]]
v.“]
“Wait, hold up–I swear I saw Melody’s hand beat Scarlett’s just now.”
Someone voiced their doubts.
Catching sight of Scarlett’s increasingly pale face, I stood up calmly, my hands trembling with excitement beneath my sleeves. “Melody got outplayed fair and square. I accept defeat.”
Instead of breaking down over losing, I just smiled like it was no big deal.]
That finally shut everyone up.[]
Someone muttered under their breath, “But isn’t Scarlett Camden’s dead brother’s wife? Can they even be together?“|]
“So what? The old man approved this whole bride tournament thing, and didn’t you see how Camden’s been all over Scarlett? Vegas casino prince turned total simp–if he doesn’t care about ditching his childhood sweetheart, we should mind our own business.“[]
When Camden heard the results, he froze for a second, then got so worked up his eyes went red. He rushed over and kissed Scarlett hard.[]
Scarlett’s face flushed as she played coy, and the two of them nearly put on a full show right there in broad daylight.]
It took Mr. Thorne slamming his hand on the table with a thunderous expression to make them reluctantly pull apart.
Camden’s eyes were full of passion, his voice shaking with excitement. “Scarlett, you won this time–we can finally be together!”
Scarlett bit her lip, covering her face as she sobbed softly. “But I’m your sister in law. We’re not meant to be.

Chapter 1
Camden kissed away her tears, his gaze intense and determined. “I don’t give a damn! No one’s gonna stop me from marrying you. Anyone who tries to say otherwise will pay the price!”
His voice turned ice–cold at the end, murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he looked straight at me.[]
That one look made cold sweat break out on my forehead. I knew for sure–Camden had been reborn too.]
Those words were his warning to me, telling me not to get any ideas.[]
But honestly? He was overthinking it.]
In my past life, Scarlett’s suicide note accused me of cheating. No matter how I tried to explain, Camden wouldn’t believe me. He destroyed my family and got me killed.[]
Getting a second chance, I sure as hell wasn’t making the same mistakes.]
“You little bastard!”
Mr. Thorne’s face went completely black when Camden made his declaration. “She’s your sister–in–law! You marry her, and the Thorne family’s gonna lose face completely! Don’t even think about it. The tournament’s canceled. Melody will be your wife!”
“I can take wives from both family lines!“]]
