They were so close, their necks almost touching. And then, as the camera zoomed in, they kissed. The sound of it pierced the silence of the car—sharp, intrusive, like a slap to my chest.
[Bianca, Simon must have told you by now, right? After the wedding, he’s going to marry me legally.]
[Just so you know, without a legal marriage, there’s no inheritance rights. Guess it’s my turn to become the richest woman in Evergreen City!]
Audrey… she’d been reborn too.
It all clicked. Even though Simon and Audrey had no connection in our past life, this time, just days into it, they were already acting like a couple. Doing all the things lovers do.
It was as if they had an unspoken understanding as if they were trying to pick up exactly where they left off.
I lowered my gaze, memories of my past life flooding back. I thought about when I first married into the Hughes family.
Right after the wedding, it felt like everything changed. The company started receiving a flood of partnership offers, landing new contracts left and right.
Hughes Enterprises’ assets skyrocketed, and before long, they had become the richest company in Los Angeles.
