She loved once. It destroyed her. She won’t make the same mistake again.

Mizuki Wolfe should have had it all—the perfect love, the perfect life. But love, as she learned, was nothing more than a cruel illusion. In her first life, she gave her heart to the wrong man, trusted the wrong people, and paid the ultimate price. When she died, she carried nothing but regrets.

Then she woke up—alive. A second chance. A new life. And this time, she knows better.

Now, Mizuki has one rule: never fall in love again. She walks away from her engagement to billionaire Pablo Rossi without a second thought. She plays matchmaker, ensuring he ends up with someone else. The world watches in shock, but no one dares to ask the real question—why?

Because if they did, they’d never believe the answer.

Then came HIM.

A rockstar with a voice that sends shivers down her spine. A pair of mismatched eyes—one gold, one blue—that seem to see everything. K is the kind of man who sings of soulmates, who believes in fated love as if it’s a force stronger than time itself. And the moment he lays eyes on Mizuki, he knows.

She is his.

But Mizuki doesn’t believe in fate. She’s lived this life before, and she refuses to repeat the same mistakes.

Only… fate doesn’t seem to care what she believes.

And neither does he.

A battle of heart versus destiny. A love that wasn’t supposed to happen—again. Will Mizuki’s walls finally break, or will K learn that even soulmates can slip through fate’s fingers?

A story of second chances, soulmates, and the impossible fight against destiny.

“Miss Mizuki,” he greeted, his voice deep and smooth, the kind of voice that belonged in an expensive whiskey commercial—or better yet, a lover’s whisper.

Mizuki blinked. Then again. Her mouth opened to respond, but what emerged was less “hello” and more “garbled wheeze.”

Lizbeth, her ever-loyal assistant, jabbed her sharply in the ribs. “Hey,” she whispered, her tone sly, “I think the leading man just fell in love with you at first sight.”

“Shh!” Mizuki hissed, her face heating up. She tried to regain her footing, figuratively and literally, but managed only to trip over her own feet. She lurched forward, arms flailing in what she hoped looked like an intentional movement.

K, lightning-quick, caught her before disaster struck. His hands were firm yet gentle as they steadied her. Up close, those stunning eyes were even more hypnotic, and the faint scent of cedar and rain seemed to linger around him.

“Are you all right?” he asked, his lips quirking into a smile that somehow managed to be both kind and devastatingly alluring.
Mizuki’s brain short-circuited. She realized she was still clutching his arms and yanked herself back so fast she almost stumbled again.

Lizbeth leaned closer, whispering gleefully, “You okay? Your heart’s racing.”

“I want to run,” Mizuki muttered, barely moving her lips.
“What?” Lizbeth asked, her grin widening.

“I want to run,” Mizuki repeated in a fierce whisper. “Far away. To another country, maybe.”

Lizbeth snickered. “Flight at first sight, huh?”

“Yes!” Mizuki hissed, shooting a panicked glance at K, who was still watching her like she was the only thing worth noticing in the entire room. His gaze was so warm, so intense, it could have melted steel—and definitely her composure.

She shot a look at Lizbeth, who was no help at all, and then at the nearest exit. She was already planning her escape.
