Silent Screams: The Language of a
Broken Heart.
Chapter 1
In my past life, my sister, Summer, got her
wish and married into a wealthy family.
Turns out, her millionaire husband was never
home.
She couldn’t resist temptation, had an affair
that was caught on camera, contracted HIV,
and ended up with nothing after the divorce.
Meanwhile, I married Blake Whitlock, a triple-
crown-winning actor.
After the wedding, Blake adored me. We
became the most famous model couple in the
entertainment industry.
Consumed by jealousy, Summer killed me,
and we both went back in time to the day of
the arranged marriage.
This time, she beat me to it and told Dad she
wanted to marry the actor.
I just smiled.
Summer apparently didn’t like the heavenly
life of a husband who was never around but
gave her ten million allowance every month?!

My dad wanted Summer and me to each
choose one of the guys for a family-arranged
marriage.
Summer glanced at Xavier Bentley’s photo
with disdain.
Then she picked up Blake Whitlock’s photo,
sweet-talking my dad, “Daddy, I choose to
marry him.”
Afterward, Summer shoved Xavier’s photo
into my arms, all sugar and spice.
“Sis, I’ll let you have this top dog in NYC. You
deserve… the very best. No need to thank me,
it’s what sisters do.”
My mom frowned, anxiously trying to stop
her.
“Summer, no way. Xavier Bentley is who your father and I chose for you. He’s young and
L
made the Forbes list on his own. You can’t
give him to your sister! Only you are a match
for him.”
Our family and the Bentley’s were old friends.
Grandma had arranged a marriage agreement
between us when she was alive.
Since we were kids, my mom constantly had
Summer and Xavier spend time together to
build a relationship.
Summer whispered something to my mom,
and my mom asked in surprise, “Are you sure,
Summer?”
She blinked her watery
mom.
Yes, begging my
“Mommy, you love me the most, promise me.
Blake Whitlock is a freakin’ award-winning
actor. It’s fine. I wanna play in the
entertainment industry.”
My mom couldn’t resist Summer’s begging.
She and my dad exchanged a look and
agreed.
Summer gave me a smug look, filled with
provocation.
She got close and whispered, “Enjoy that
impotent husband, sis.”
Hearing Summer’s words and her different
choice from my past life, I knew she was also
reborn.

My mom looked at me, silent on the side, and
said coldly, “Since that’s the case, Juniper,
you’ll marry Xavier Bentley. But… since you
got this lucky break, you have to compensate
your sister.”
