Elaine's mind flashed back. She remembered the first time she had confronted Jasper with the same question. "Who is she?" The game had changed, and Elaine wondered if Jasper felt the same turmoil she once did. With a dismissive chuckle, she said, "You'll find out." Jasper recoiled from her laughter, tossing her hand aside as if touching her disgusted him. He regained his composure, aware that his furious questioning made him look like a scorned, jealous spouse.

Sure enough, aside from the massive spike on the day I died, the collection vial began to slow down, and the tiny spark of hope I had felt instantly vanished. The system had only given me seven days. If I couldn't fill that entire vial before the time was up, the rules would force me right back into the endless cycle of reincarnation. But with Owen around, their grief was never going to last, and once the funeral was over, they would probably wipe me from their minds completely. Time flew by. Soon enough, it was time for my funeral. Aside from my family, the chapel was packed with people. I realized they were all friends and colleagues of Audrey or my parents.

I run my hands through my hair as I pretend to be unaffected by what I am hearing going on behind me. “Where does he keep the key?” she asks.

Chase took out two better-quality beauty pills from the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus and gave them to Quinn. "It's fine. I'll just take another one after a few hundred years," Quinn said nonchalantly. "Alright. But I've picked the best Dark and Light Infinite Pills for you," Chase said. "Why?" Quinn and Mia asked at the same time but quickly realized this was a stupid question. It was clear that better-quality pills had better effects. "What's the Dark and Light Infinite Pills for?" Quinn immediately asked about it to hide her embarrassment about asking a stupid question.

I'm only trying to respect the rules because they've been there for so many years. So, after the engagement and my inauguration, I'll amend the rules, and you'll get the remaining sixty percent of your money, and then, we'll part ways. If you're okay with this deal, I will get a contract ready by tomorrow so we can both sign it. I'll give you forty percent upfront, on the day of our engagement which should come up a month before my inauguration. What do you think?" "What do I think? I think it's an amazing deal.
