Caitlin realized that that probably represented enough money to pay for a thousand pieces of meat. The man quickly set to cutting huge chunks of meat off his spit, handing them in rapid-fire to Scarlet. The second they hit her hand, she reached over and dangled them in front of Ruth, who jumped up and snatched them off her fingers. Scarlet laughed with delight. The man handed her another piece, and she did it again—and again, Ruth snatched the meat.

"The lonely man wanted the mercenary to watch the bride before he made his move, but little didn't the lonely man know that the bride and the mercenary fell in love." Eddie approached me and then grabbed the back of my neck aggressively. I see Don's jaw clench and hear a low snarl at Eddie. I could see his eyes darken once Eddie grabbed me forcefully. It doesn't matter to me anymore if Don is angry. Another man betrays me and hurts me just like this one. "I never would have thought you would live under the same roof as Donovan. It made his job easier, but now, seeing how you are in this situation and he's working for me, how does it feel to see the man you call your "soulmate"?"

My fingers clenched around the candy, its stiff edge almost cutting my palm. Indeed, in our previous lives, he had been convinced that my only purpose was to be a blood bank and organ donor to Susie. Since Susie still died after I donated my kidney, that meant I served no purpose in this life, and the Grants had no reason to bring home a loser like me.

My ears were ringing. Rupert also went to Harborview City on the 8th. Were we married to the same person? I forced myself to stay calm and gave her a strained smile. "Do you mind showing me a picture of your husband?" The woman seemed thrown off but smiled proudly as she pulled out her phone. She scrolled through her pictures and showed them to me. "This one's from our six-year anniversary." Six years? Rupert and I had only been married for five years. What did that even mean? Was I the other woman?

He was waving frantically at me, his eyes slightly red-rimmed. I inhaled deeply and spoke into the microphone. "Firstly, I want to thank the Claston Hawks for trusting me during my most difficult time. Thank you to my coaches and my teammates.

My name is Claude Manning, and this new life of mine has only just begun."

As they immediately struck a deal, I made a hand signal, indicating it was time for my next line of action. A man walked towards us, and my face tightened. Both Olivia and Rowan noticed the tension in the air as the man walked towards us. Rowan excused himself. Wise man. He had an idea about who I was, and did not want to involve himself with whatever I did. He has played his part by talking with Olivia and striking a deal. I was happy that he excused himself. “Long time no see Alexander. I see you got yourself yet another toy to play with. You never seem to change”, the man said with a chuckle.

After our engagement, the six of us friends agreed to take one last trip together before the wedding. That night, my friend Anders Greer suggested we play a "24-Hour Couple Swap." Anyone who drew matching symbols had to act like a couple for the next twenty-four hours. Whoever drew a blank card could only take pictures and carry everyone's bags. In the first round, I drew a blank. My fiancee, Brielle Rice, and Anders both drew moons. They held hands while watching the sunrise, while I followed behind carrying three people's bags.
