In my previous life, I was merely a supporting character, highlighting Damon’s deep love for another woman. Tragically, my story unfolded with devastating consequences, leaving my family in ruins and my life shattered. Upon my rebirth, I chose to adopt a carefree attitude, ignoring the situation and waiting for Damon to ask for a divorce. But something peculiar happened. The man who used to disappear for weeks suddenly started showing up every few days. “Do you think there will come a time when you’ll want me to disappear?” I queried. “Do not indulge in fantasies.” he retorted, “We’ll continue to torment each other until the end.” I sighed, as a reincarnated soul, confident that his destined soulmate would soon cross his path. Finally, he encountered her, and I believed freedom was within my grasp. Yet, he quietly…
"Sorry, I didn't mean it."
Just as our actions drew attention, Ariel's irritation subsided and she started apologizing.
I stood up and gave a small grin, "Ariel, have you no clue there are cameras everywhere here? You really think you can play innocent?"
Hearing the word 'camera', Ariel glanced around uncomfortably, her gaze finally landing on Jones.
Jones was just quietly looking at me, and I felt uneasy.
For the past two years, Jones had been bombarding me with calls and messages, none of which I answered. I treated him the same way I treated Joshua. But Jones was not Joshua, he meant something completely different to me.
I could treat Joshua like a little brother now, but I couldn't do the same with Jones.
I grabbed the gift and turned to leave, ready to find Salvador, hand over the gift, and get out of here.
After all, running into both Ariel and Jones was a sign this place was no good for me to stick around.
