Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

1 Nursery

"This is impossible." Penny looked at the marriage certificate in between her fingers. "Since when did I get married?" @

Penny studied the printouts in her hand. The woman in the certificate was definitely her, but this man... Penny couldn't recall ever meeting him. The man in the certificate had a well-proportioned face with symmetrical facial features. He had a strong, defined jawline, adding a masculine look to him. His long, sharp, deep-set eyes were dark but very captivating.

Suddenly, Penny heard a knock from the window on her side. Winding down the window of the driver's seat, the man standing outside bent over.

"Why are you outside?" asked the man she hired for this sham wedding. "I've been waiting for you! Don't you want to get married?"

"Uh." Penny cleared her throat. "There's no need for this wedding anymore."

"Oh. Alright! Then, goodbye!"

The man fashed her one quick smile before he sprinted away. Her face twitchard, Wouldn't he ask her why she didn't need to do the wedding? He just took

"That's what I want to find out. I call you again later"

Penny ended the call and gazed at the certificate once again.

All her life, she had been waiting for this day to come.

The day she could marry herself off and leave her household. It was no secret that Penny had been wanting to get out of the family. It was for the best for everyone, especially for herself. However, no one knew Penny had another big secret.

This wasn't her first life.

She promised that in this lifetime, she would live it on her own terms. But now, that plan was slightly shaken by the man registered as her husband.

"I don't know if this is a good thing, but what I know is I have to fix this," she whispered as her eyelids

drooped. "I can't afford to make the same mistake I did in my first life."
