Chapter 18

Author: Evelyn Cross
Eight years passed in the blink of an eye. Elena graduated early with excellent grades from the National Defense and Technology University, earning her doctorate in military intelligence.

On her graduation day, Noah, who had become the CEO of Prestige Corporation, a multinational corporation, appeared at the campus gates to pick her up. He held a bouquet and ring.

"Being able to grow up with you and get to know you before the rest of the world is the biggest honor of my life, Elena. Now that I'm the CEO of Prestige Corporation, I'm willing to spend the rest of my life supporting your dreams and career. Will you give me the chance to take you as my wife and stay by my side through the good and the bad?"

It was June in Dendron City, and the sweltering sun shone brightly. It lit up Noah's face and blinded Elena's eyes.

She squinted in the sunlight, suddenly able to recall how she'd felt the last time someone had proposed to her and promised her a lifetime together.

    It had been days since Elena had last mentioned Aaron. It turned out he'd only imagined her forgetting him—she hadn't.He didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. She knew of his existence but had never tried to speak to him—not even once. His emotions welled up, but he quickly suppressed them.It was Elena's big day, and he wanted to be a part of it. He couldn't allow himself to feel sad, nor did he want their last meeting to be filled with regrets.The seconds ticked. Finally, Noah carried Elena out of the villa. She looked gorgeous—even more so than when she'd married Aaron.He watched her from amid the crowd of guests, staring dazedly until she got into the car. Then, he followed her to the hotel where the reception was being held.He watched as she smiled sweetly while she and Noah went through every step of the process together. She'd mentioned him, yet she'd also forgotten about him almost immediately. His presence wouldn't affect her—she could deal with them whether or no

    Aaron looked down at his left wrist, which had a white ring of light identical to the one that had formed around the time-space tunnel from which he'd emerged.Before entering the tunnel, the professor in charge of the project solemnly reminded him that time-traveling technology wasn't yet advanced enough. He could only guarantee that Aaron could travel in one direction—he had yet to find a way for Aaron to return.If Aaron couldn't obtain Elena's forgiveness and win her heart again, that would mean he couldn't stay by her side. If that happened… death would probably be his only alternative, similar to Elena's situation all those years ago.He was reaping what he'd sown eight years ago, and the consequences of his actions were coming back to bite him in the ass. He didn't know how to describe how he felt. All he could do was follow Noah and Elena robotically from the villa to a mall.He watched as they had lunch together before buying clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics. Once they

    Miles—no, Aaron—was much calmer and more mature than he'd been eight years ago. Elena's words would've been enough to make him fly off the handle in the past, but he listened calmly and patiently waited for her to finish before speaking. "You're not married yet, are you?" he asked."Does it make a difference?" Elena pointed at him before looking at Noah. "It's been eight years. You might have aged well, but that doesn't change the fact that you're now 37 and getting closer to being middle-aged. I'm only 26—I've just graduated with a doctorate and have a bright future."Why would I leave my fiancé, the CEO of a multinational corporation whom I know like the back of my hand, for someone like you? You show up unnecessarily and spout nonsense."Eight years had passed. Aaron had grown older, but Elena had become younger. She was only 26 and had plenty for others to be jealous of. She was young, beautiful, outstanding, and rich. Meanwhile, Aaron had nothing—not even identification.The

    The people from Quilton Group soon arrived with Damien in the lead.He and Aaron had been sworn rivals even before their births—their ancestors had always been business rivals, and they'd fought to declare leadership over Halston City's business world.Aaron's parents had died when he was young. His father had jumped off a building after making a wrong investment and not having the funds to pay his debts. His mother had died of a heart attack after her family had failed to help her get through the crisis.If not for that, Reed Corporation would've long since expanded out of Halston City and reached national or even global recognition, thanks to Aaron's ruthless leadership.It wouldn't have taken ten years for him to get the company back to equal footing with Quilton Group.Had things turned out the way they were because the heavens wanted to stop the Reed family from growing too powerful? Was it the heavens' will that Reed Corporation could only ever be at par with Quilton Group

    "The original host had already been reborn for the third time when I was brought to her world. Her bad luck from her first life continued after her rebirth, and she failed to save Mr. Cannon Fodder, falling into a cycle of torment worse than death."The second time she was reborn, she helped Mr. Cannon Fodder avoid the dangers they'd faced in her second life. Things went well for a period after they successfully established a business together, but they ultimately went bad because she and Mr. Cannon Fodder couldn't escape the fate of a couple who could suffer together but not prosper together."When she was reborn a third time, she used her life as bait to bring my soul to her world. I thought that with my upbringing, good looks, and brains, it would be a worthy exchange to use a few years of hardship to get another chance at life. I didn't expect to also fail," Elena said.She sighed and continued, "I suppose cannon fodder will always be cannon fodder. He inherently possesses the f
