Chapter 1 I spent five years as Alexander Winters ' sugar baby . In my previous life , I was stupid enough to believe the other sugar babies when they said Alex was catching feelings for me . I actually thought I could trap him into marriage and went all - out trying to make it happen . When his precious Victoria came back from Europe , I turned into a complete psycho - stalking her , starting drama , making scenes . I literally self - destructed so hard that both me and my unborn baby ended up dead . Right after my death , Alex and Victoria had their fairy - tale wedding plastered all over Vogue . I became the cautionary tale every sugar baby whispered about - the delusional bitch who forgot her place . Now I'm back to the exact moment I asked Alex if he loved me . The man lying next to me is still breathing hard from absolutely wrecking me . When he hears my question , he turns his head with that cold stare : " What did you say ? " God , how did I miss that icy tone before ? Last time , I actually had the audacity to curl up against his chest and beg him to spend more time with me . But hearing those words again , all I can see is his face at my funeral - like he was finally taking out the trash . I smack my lips , putting on my most innocent smile : " Oh my God , sorry ! You're so good I can't even think straight . I meant to ask if you liked the soup I made tonight . I can whip up another batch tomorrow . " Alex's eyes went wide with shock . He clearly didn't expect me - usually so shy about anything bedroom - talk - to suddenly start rating his post - sex . But my unexpected dirty talk was exactly what made Alex overlook my earlier slip - up . In my past life , Alex thought my plea for more time together was just post - sex pillow talk . So he casually said , " Sure , I'll take you everywhere I go . " That one throwaway comment fed all my delusions . I believed Alex loved me too - he just hadn't realized it yet . " The soup was good . Really helped my stomach . " Alex's voice pulled me back to the present . Once his words registered , I quickly grabbed the nearest shirt and covered up . I told Alex I needed to prep tomorrow's breakfast in the kitchen . Only when I was safely out of sight did I finally exhale . While moving around the kitchen , I started piecing together my scattered thoughts . - Van Daddy No 0.0 % Chapter 1 I couldn't remember how I'd gotten this second chance . I just knew it was incredibly precious . One thought burned crystal clear in my mind : * DON'T BE a lovesick idiot . Don't fall for any man ! * Besides looking pretty and cooking , I really didn't have much going for me . I wasn't the brightest - I'd believe anything anyone told me . That's exactly how Candy manipulated me in my past life . She made me forget my place and turn into a complete psycho . I only learned the truth after I died . Candy had targeted me from day one . Her sugar daddy did business with Alex . We'd met at some high - end party . That brief encounter was enough for her daddy to remember me . He kept praising my looks to her , which obviously pissed her off . Meanwhile , Victoria Rockefeller - Alex's childhood sweetheart who'd been studying abroad since before I met him - heard about me through mutual friends . She was furious Alex had kept me around for years . But she was too classy to dirty her own hands . After studying my personality , she approached Candy and had her " teach " me how to win more of Alex's affection . Candy's lessons made Alex more disgusted with me each day . In the end , I found out I was pregnant and rushed to demand Alex make it official . A speeding truck hit me on the way . I died instantly . After my death , Candy had already been dumped by her own sugar daddy . She took the huge " thank you " payments I'd given her . Then she went back to her hometown and got married . Victoria orchestrated everything from behind the scenes . She successfully won Alex's heart . After their wedding , she gave him two lovely children . Only I - greedy for love I'd never deserve - ended up with nothing . Even at death , I never heard Alex say he liked me once . After reviewing my tragic past life , I made a painful decision . I'd be the perfect sugar baby until Alex was ready to let me go . Scared I might forget and catch feelings again , I found my recipe notebook . I flipped to the last page and wrote : * August 27th : Never forget the agony of burning alive . Being unloved isn't shameful , but don't throw your life away for scraps . * Despite staying up late , I woke at the next morning . I worked non - stop preparing breakfast . Right as Alex finished getting ready , I placed the soup I'd been simmering for over an hour on the table . Alex stared at the elaborate spread covering half the dining room table . After several seconds of silence , he asked : " Okay , what's this about ? What do you want ? " Cooking was definitely how I kept Alex happy . But in five years together , I usually only made dinner . I'd never sacrificed my beauty sleep just to give Alex a good breakfast before work . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
