Lily’s eyes widened as she carefully took the bracelet from his hand. Her fingers traced the delicate design, and
when she turned it over, she noticed her initials, ‘LX, engraved on the surface. Her breath caught in her throat.

but... one day, | lost it. | was heartbroken when | couldn't find it. Ethan, how do you have this? Where did you
find it?”
Ethan smiled gently, caressing her cheek with his thumb. “The day I first saw you, the day my heart started
beating for someone other than myself, was the day | found this bracelet. It was as if fate had broughtto you
before we even met.”
Lily's lips curved into a soft smile, and she leaned forward to kiss his nose. “Love at first sight,” she murmured.
But then, a thought struck her. Her brows knitted together in confusion. “Ethan, if you lovedeven before we
officially met, why didn’t we cross paths in my past life? If you were there, why didn’t you try to meetor... or
woo me?”
Ethan sighed softly, pinching the tip of her nose playfully. “I don’t know, Lily. Maybe our paths just weren't meant

you. | couldn't protect you.”

you. None of it was your fault. In my past life, | rarely stepped out. | was always hidden behind Rose’s shadow or
accompanied by others. How could you have found me? How could you have tried to saveif | never gave you
the chance?”

and the second chance fate had given them.
Lily couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness as she thought about how her past life had kept her from meeting
such an incredible man sooner. It wasn't fair, but she reminded herself that the past was gone, and she needed
to focus on the present.
“It's not your fault, Ethan,” she said softly, her hand gently patting his back. “The past is behind us now.
Whatever happened, it’s over. What matters is that we're here together, starting fresh, building something
beautiful.”
Ethan let out a soft hum, his forehead resting against hers. “Lily, | couldn't protect you before, but | promise you-
nothing and no one will ever harm you again. Not while I'm by your side.”
Lily smiled faintly and yawned, the weight of exhaustion settling over her. The night had been long, and the
emotions they had shared had left her drained. “Let’s sleep now, Ethan. I'm so tired...”
She was about to turn over when Ethan shifted, gently rolling her onto her back and hovering over her. A playful
glint danced in his eyes. “My dear wife, it's our wedding night. How can you fall asleep so soon?”
Lily's cheeks flushed as she stammered, “E-Ethan... I'm really tired. Can't we just—"

Her words were silenced as Ethan leaned down, capturing her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Between soft
breaths, he whispered, “I love you, Lily...”
The night stretched on, filled with whispered promises, shared warmth, and the deep bond they had both fought
so hard to build.
When dawn finally approached, Lily was fast asleep, her face resting peacefully against Ethan’s chest. Despite
his lingering energy and the urge to hold her even closer, Ethan resisted waking her. Instead, he carefully carried
her to the bathroom, gently cleaned them both, and then tucked her back into bed.

of her revelations still fresh in his heart. To others, her story might have sounded absurd-rebirth, second
chances-it all seemed impossible. But he believed her. He believed every word she said because he felt it too.
Their love was something that defied reason.
Wrapping his arm protectively around her, Ethan pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. “Lily, | swear to you... no
matter what happens in the future, | will never leave your side. I'll protect you, cherish you, and make sure
you're always happy. | couldn't save you in the past, but I'm here now, and I'll always be here- for you, with you.”
His voice dropped to a whisper as he added, “I love you, Lily...”
With his promise lingering in the quiet air, Ethan closed his eyes, finally allowing himself to drift into a peaceful
sleep beside the woman he loved more than anything in the world.
