Chapter 1

Heavy rain persisted globally for a week, but my boyfriend's "sister" Taryn Holt used life-saving purified water to wash her hair.

I wanted to take the remaining purified water, but she pushed me, causing me to hit the doorknob.

Taryn looked at me smugly and said, "It's just a little water! Drinking less water won't make you die of thirst! But my hair is stinky!"

The back of my head was bleeding, and I called for my boyfriend Deon Gilbert desperately.

He hurried over, but upon seeing me on the ground, he was overjoyed and kissed Taryn...

"Great! If she was dead, the villa would be ours!"

When I woke up, I was back to the time when Deon brought his "sister" to my villa.

I pretended not to know anything, just like in my previous life, and destroyed the water purification system in the villa secretly.

I thought, Don't you say you don't care about water? In this life, let's see if you'll die of thirst!

***

"Carina, there's something I need to discuss with you. Didn't you buy a new villa? My sister is coming to visit me soon and might need to stay at your place for a few days." My boyfriend Deon's voice came from the phone.

I raised my hand and touched the back of my head, realizing immediately that I had been reborn, reborn to the time before Deon brought Taryn and his family to live in my newly purchased villa.

"Carina, I don't mean anything by it. It's my fault. You know, my family's financial situation isn't good. The apartment in the city has just been renovated, and the formaldehyde levels are high. If my parents and sister come, they'll definitely need to stay in a hotel, which means at least two rooms will be needed. That's a huge expense. I want to save some money for our wedding ceremony..."

"Okay," I agreed cheerfully.

"What?" Deon was a bit surprised, not expecting me to agree so readily. He knew that I didn't like living with outsiders.

Deon's family was not well off, while I, though without family, was quite wealthy. I received a job offer from a top company right after graduation and recently inherited one million dollars from a distant relative abroad.

Since I had no family, I planned to buy a villa with the money and make a cozy home of my own.

In my previous life, when Deon wanted to bring Taryn and his family to stay in my newly purchased villa, it took him a long time to convince me to agree.

Unexpectedly, shortly after they moved in, heavy rain persisted in most parts of the world, water levels kept rising, and we were trapped in the villa.

Fortunately, to welcome Deon and his family, I had prepared plenty of food and drinks, and with the villa's built-in water purification system, these supplies were enough for us to hold out for a while until rescue arrived.

Unexpectedly, the water purification system in the villa broke down not long after, and we were left with only the purified water I had stored in advance.

I put the purified water in the cabinet, calculating that it should be enough for the five of us to last a week. As long as we made it through this week, the rescue team dispatched by the country would find us.

However, one night, I got up to go to the bathroom and saw Deon's so-called "sister" using the life-saving purified water to wash her hair secretly!

I tried to stop her gently, "Taryn, in this situation, purified water is extremely precious."

She didn't care. "I'll use it if I want to. My parents and Deon won't say anything. Do you think Deon listens to everything you say?"

I was a bit anxious and tried to take the purified water from her, but she pushed me hard, causing me to hit my head on the bathroom door handle.

Blood flowed from the back of my head, and I called Deon's name desperately.

He rushed over but was overjoyed when he saw me on the ground. "Taryn, now that she's dead, no one but us will know. When the rain stops, this villa will be ours!

"It's just a bit of water, isn't it? Now that she's dead, there's just enough for us."

After speaking, Deon turned and kissed his "sister"...

I stared at them unwillingly, and even after my death, my soul lingered around them.

It turned out that the "sister" Deon said was actually his lover, and the family that came with her were Deon's in-laws.

I had been completely deceived by Deon, living with his mistress and her parents!

They had always wanted to take over my villa!
