Chapter 1 Jennifer woke up reborn at twenty - five . She remembered marrying Alexander Smith , CEO of California , in her past life , then living with her mother in his estate , Relatives envied her , calling her incredibly lucky to land Alexander . Only she knew the suffering that followed . At forty - five in her previous life , depressed and abandoned by Alexander , she'd locked herself in the kitchen and twisted the gas valve . All because of Alexander's first love . Jennifer frowned . She knew that woman would come today - so she'd prepared divorce papers in advance . This coffee house was Alexander's favorite haunt . She'd never forget it . Here , he'd secretly met his mistress for years She'd discovered the truth by following him , only to be slapped when she tried to confront him . His words still echoed : " Our affairs are none of your concern . " That day , she'd sobbed in a street corner for hours . She'd been twenty - five then too . Chapter 1 Now , clarity struck Jennifer . All those years wasted loving the wrong man . Alexander never once truly looked at her until her death . This time , she'd live for herself . She pressed her hand against the coffee house door handle , brow furrowed . Turned it . The scent of tea washed over her as she spotted Nicole Harris in the corner . Nicole sat across from her , expression cold . " Alexander loves me . Give up . and stop clinging to him . " Jennifer slid the divorce papers forward . " Gladly . Have him sign these . Once the cooling - off period ends , I'll vanish . " Nicole's eyes widened , startled by her swift surrender . So swift she'd abandon the title of Mrs. Smith . Jennifer met her gaze without flinching , voice steady . "Since he's always wanted you , I'll step aside . Just get Alexander's signature . Whatever happens between you afterward is none of my business . " She took a sip of water . No more playing the fool - the deceived Mrs. Smith kept in the dark 0225 forever . Never again . Nicole's fingers tightened around her cup , tracing its rim as she glared . " Jennifer , what's your game ? " " No games . Just tired . " Jennifer held her stare - no fear , nothing but clarity . After speaking , she stood up and walked out . The constant flow of people in the coffee house felt overwhelmingly noisy to her . Seeing her resolute tone , Nicole felt her defenses lowering . She stood and called after Jennifer's retreating figure , " You gave Alexander to me . Once I become Mrs. Smith , don't expect me to give him back . " Jennifer didn't pause , continuing her stride out . She'd endured enough torment from Alexander in her past life . Nicole followed Jennifer out of the coffee house , swiping her phone screen to find Alexander's number and dialing . The call connected unusually fast . " Alexander , can you come pick me up now ? I'm at Islands coffee house . " Jennifer stood just a traffic light away , a bitter smile touching her lips . Chapter She remembered all too well - in her previous life , Alexander never answered her calls willingly . Yet now , before the next red light faded , the man himself appeared at the coffee house entrance . Jennifer turned to see him leaning against the glass window in a tailored black suit . Tall and broad - shouldered , with a narrow waist . He handed Nicole the cake he carried , bending close to whisper that he'd asked his chef to add extra blueberries - her favorite . Jennifer's heart clenched . Three years of marriage , and he'd never once cared about her likes or dislikes . Even when she'd been hospitalized in her past life , he'd brought durian- the one fruit she detested . That day , she'd forced it down while turned . away , crying silently for hours . The next moment , Alexander's velvet voice drifted over as Jennifer watched his lips brush Nicole's forehead . " Craving anything ? I'll take you . " His tone dripped with intimate affection . Nicole nestled closer , handing him the divorce papers Jennifer had given . her- deliberately blocking the signature line . Chapter 1 " Just one thing I need your help with . Could you sign this document ? I found a house in the suburbs and- " Alexander took the pen , his eyes never leaving Nicole . Where she pointed , he signed with swift efficiency . " Buy it if you like it . " He finished by tenderly ruffling her hair . Jennifer's stomach churned . Alexander , this time I won't look back .
