Celina saw herself making a deal with the King of the Underworld. In exchange for seven final days with the man she loved, she willingly offered her soul to oblivion and never to reincarnate.
When Lucas returned after those seven days, he scolded her for calling him too many times on the day she died.
Celia witnessed the pain the girl endured, forced to eat mortal food she could no longer digest, all because his fiancée had made
an offhand remark. When she inevitably grew sick, he dismissed her agony as childish tantrums meant to embarrass his fiancée.

She also saw the love letters she hadn’t had the chance to open that day.
In her dream, she saw him opening the letters after her departure, and at the end of each letter was a familiar name: Celia Quinn.
Although she had witnessed firsthand that Celia’s pact with the King of the Underworld had ended and her soul had vanished forever, one unwavering thought echoed in her mind: “Celia Quinn is me.”
The dreams that followed only confirmed this.
She saw what happened after Celia Quinn vanished. She saw Lucas fall into despair upon discovering that Celia had long been dead. He became so distraught, his mind fractured. After being cast aside by the Shaw family, he refused to repent.
Instead, he began walking the path of self–destruction which led to suicide.
She saw him lying in a bathtub filled with blood, his breath fading away.
Then, she saw him in hell, standing before the King of the Underworld, making a deal.
And so, the Celia of today came into existence–a life surrounded by love, privilege, and a family that adored her.
But he wasn’t there in her life.
Because he had traded every future life of his and all his wealth for a single lifetime where they would never cross paths again.
Celia met the King of the Underworld once more. But this time, it wasn’t to take her life.
The King revealed everything to her and gave her the choice. Armed with the full truth, she could now make the final decision: to
forgive him or to keep them forever separated, treating them as two completely different people.
Though the Lucas Smith of today and the Lucas Shaw of the past seemed like entirely different men, when Celia remembered
everything, she realized one truth-
She still couldn’t accept it.
It didn’t matter whether he was Lucas Shaw or Lucas Smith.
It didn’t matter whether he was her uncle or her junior.
She simply couldn’t accept him.
