Her Rival's Fiance

In my previous life, I became the “lucky groom” and married Juniper Green, a woman in a coma, in place of my younger brother, Sean Hale. However, what I never knew was that the person Juniper truly loved had always been Sean.

For ten long years, every frown Sean made became another reason for Juniper to torment me. My blood became his medicine. My bone marrow became his backup supply. To her, my entire existence was nothing more than a life-extending cure for Sean.

Juniper had often said to me, “If you hadn’t gotten in the way, Sean would’ve been my rightful husband long ago. Keeping him alive is the only purpose you have.”

In the end, she signed the consent form for my bone marrow donation. Then, she watched coldly as my life was drained away.

“Being able to save Sean’s life is your honor.”

Then, I was reborn and returned to the very day I was supposed to marry into the Green family. This time, I decided to return that “honor” to my dear brother.

However, before I could even speak, Sean suddenly stepped forward first. His face was pale as he clutched his chest weakly.

“Mom, please don’t force it on William. I’m willing to marry into the Green family instead, because I’ve fallen in love with Juniper.

Then, his gaze suddenly shifted toward me, where I stood silently watching from the side. Instantly, his anger exploded.

“Was this your doing? Did you pressure your brother into marrying that cripple?”

“You useless jinx! This family will never know peace as long as you’re here!”

As he shouted, he lifted his leg and tried to kick me. I instinctively stepped aside to dodge it, but before he could continue, a voice interrupted him.

“Who said I’m crippled?”

I turned around and saw it was Juniper, my wife from my previous life. Only this time, she wasn’t lying unconscious in bed. She was standing there, perfectly healthy and commanding.

My heart skipped a beat. She had awakened an entire month earlier than in my previous life.

Dad stiffened instantly, disbelief filling his face.

“M-Miss Juniper? Y-You’re awake? This is incredible news!”

Juniper couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a glance. She walked straight past him and stopped in front of Sean. Then, under everyone’s shocked stares, she took a delicate velvet box out
