I suffered from a skin condition. I scratched myself in the library, and millions of netizens spammed my private inbox. Only then did I find out that a girl accused me of harassing her. I took out my diagnostic report to defend my innocence, but the girl cried pitifully. “You really know how to make an excuse for yourself! How could someone innocent like me frame you?” Even my elder brother spoke up for her! “Why would she frame you of all people? Can’t you take a look at yourself?” I could not bear the cyberbullying, and I died from a sudden heart attack the day before the court hearing.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when she had asked me to reserve a seat in the library.

Leo Parker, my fiance, shoved me out the door with his own hands. He used me as bait to buy time for himself and my best friend, Jessica Thorne, to escape. I'd never forget him shutting the door. I'd never forget his last words through the narrow crack. "Thank you for your sacrifice, Chloe." When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day before the zombie outbreak. Leo is gently urging me to hurry up and transfer 150 thousand dollars for the remodeling. It's the money we set aside for the home we plan to live in after we get married. In my past life, he set a trap and drained every cent of my savings. This time, I smile and agree. The only difference is that the 150 thousand dollars is going to build my doomsday bunker. And I'm also planning something special for them. After all, since I get a second chance at life, I should properly thank them for the "kindness" they showed me last time when they shoved me out to get torn apart by zombies.

Ich starrte auf den Vercetti-Ehevertrag, den mein Vater über den Tisch schob. Ohne zu zögern schrieb ich den Namen meiner Halbschwester darauf – Demi – und schob ihn zurück. Mein Vater erstarrte. Dann leuchteten seine Augen vor absurder Begeisterung auf, als hätte er gerade im Lotto gewonnen. „Wie kannst du deiner Schwester eine so perfekte Chance überlassen?“ In meinem letzten Leben war meine Ehe ein Witz für alle um mich herum. Ich war die rothaarige, ungezähmte kleine Hexe, die es wagte, in Cassian Vercettis Umlaufbahn einzudringen – dem Erben und Anführer der alteingesessenen Vercetti-Verbrecherfamilie. Ich war nie perfekt und auch nie gehorsam. Er liebte wallende Göttinnenkleider. Ich trug Miniröcke und tanzte auf Tischen. Er verlangte Missionarsstellung, traditionelle, geordnete Intimität. Ich wollte oben sein, ihn reiten, mich völlig darin verlieren. Bei einer Gala lachten die Gesellschaftsdamen über meine Haare, mein Kleid, meine „Wildheit“. Ich dachte, er würde mich wenigstens zum Schein verteidigen. Das tat er nicht. „Verzeiht ihr. Sie ist nicht… richtig erzogen.“ Erzogen. Wie ein Hund. Mein gesamtes letztes Leben verbrachte ich damit, unter seinen Regeln zu ersticken. Ich verbog mich bis aufs Blut, um in die Form zu passen, die er wollte – bis zu der Nacht, als unser Haus Feuer fing. Als ich meine Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Moment, als ich von der arrangierten Ehe erfuhr. Ich blickte auf den Vertrag vor mir. Dieses Mal? Ich glaube, die Jungs aus dem Nachtclub passen besser zu mir. Doch in dem Moment, als Cassian erkannte, dass ich nicht die Braut war, zerschmetterte er jede Regel, nach der er je gelebt hatte.
