Chapter 2
Kate finally realized something was off when she felt pain only in her left wrist and noticed she wasn’t in a hospital.
Two bodyguards approached the bed, their faces unreadable, “Miss Sution, get up and follow us,” one of them ordered.
Kate was confused. “What the hell is going on? Did I somehow time travel after dying” she wondered.
“Can I get a mirror?” She was excited by the possibility but needed confirmation.
Alfred, who had wheeled himself to the door, paused and turned his head, giving Kate a look full of sarcasm. The bodyguards stood by, waiting for Alfred’s response.
After a moment, Alfred pressed his lips together and said coldly. “Give her a phone.”
A phone with a selfie camera would do the job. One of the bodyguards immediately handed his phone to Kate, camera ready.
Kate snatched the phone and saw that she no longer looked haggard or desperate. Her face was a bit pale, probably from the blood loss after cutting her wrist but overall, she looked much better than before she died.
The reflection staring back at her was from when she was twenty–six. I’ve gone back three years!‘ she thought, her heart pounding
Now, her parents were still alive, she hadn’t married Chris, and all the tragedies hadn’t happened yet–she had a chance to start over.
She glanced sideways and saw the bodyguard holding the door open for Alfred, who was about to leave.
Quickly, she jumped out of bed, returned the phone, and called out. “Mr. Davidson, please wait she rushed to block his path.
Alfred looked at her coldly, and she felt a shiver run down her spine, but she held her ground. “Mr. Davidson” she called again.
“Spit it out,” he commanded, his voice low, cold, and sharp.
Kate
clasped her hands, a nervous habit. “Mr. Davidson
“Get her out of here!” Alfred snapped, cutting her off before she could say anything more.
Til marry you. Mr. Davidson. I want to marry you.” Kate blurted out, desperation clear in her voice.
Moved by Alfred’s kindness during her most desperate moment, she was ready to marry him. Despite his temper, his lack of patience, his disability. and his coldness, she was willing to spend her life with him.
The room fell into stunned silence.
Alfred sneered at her. “Miss Sutton, did you mess up your brain instead of your wrist when you tried to off yourself?”
Kate flushed bright red. “L. I mean it. I’ve made up my mind. I want to marry you and take care of you for the rest of our lives.”
This time, she was determined to stick with him.
Alfred scoffed. “What? You don’t mind that my legs are shot? You’re not worried I’ll drag you down? You’re not concerned that my injuries might leave me impotent! Didn’t you say the Davidson family was forcing this marriage on you?”
“I don’t care about any of that, Kate replied.
Before her time travel, Chris had used her pregnancy as an excuse to avoid sleeping with her. It wasn’t until Kyla showed up with a boy about the same age as Kate’s daughter that she realized Chris hadn’t been considerate–be just didn’t want her.
At the hotel, it was her first time. When she woke up from her drunken haze, the first person she saw was Chris. Later, he brought up wanting to marry her soon. Naturally, she assumed he was the one who had been with her bed that night.
But it turned out that the man she spent the night with wasn’t Chris. And until the day she died, she never found out who her daughter’s father was
“Kate, who do you think I am! I am not your servant” Alfred’s gaze was icy. “I wasn’t even my idea to propose to your family. I never had any interest in you
Kate went pale.
out of here, now,” Alfred barked
“Get out

Chapter 2
Kate bit her lower lip, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. Suddenly, she lunged at Alfred, throwing her arms around him. Not only did she embrace him, but she also swiftly ripped open his shirt, revealing his muscular chest. She buried her face in his shoulder and bit down hard
Alfred gasped in pain. He couldn’t believe she had just bite him.
Once Alfred regained his composure, he forcefully showed Kate away, making her stumble and fall to the floor
The bodyguards, who had finally snapped out of their shock, didn’t slare make a sound, but their expressions were a mix of disbelief and awe. No one has ever dared treat Mr. Davidson like this. Where does she find the nerve they thought
“Alfred, now that I’ve left my mark on you, I have to take responsibility. Kate said with a mischievous grin as she stood up. “So, what’s it gonna be? You marry me, or I marry you.”
The bodyguards exchanged looks, barely containing their surprise. They all silently thought, ‘Miss Sutton has some serious guts!
Alfred’s expression turned icy
Kate walked back over to him, leaned down, and reached out to straighten his clothes.
He swatted her hands away before they even made contact, locking his gaze on her for a long, tense moment. Finally, he asked, his voice cold, “You seriously want to marry me?”
Kate nodded without hesitation. “I do”
Alfred sneered, “No regreis?
“None,” Kate replied, her voice steady.
“Do you have y
your passport on you?” Alfred asked..
Kate answered immediately. “It’s in my walles, which is in my car.
I’m giving you one last chance to walk away. Leave now, and I won’t hold you accountable for that hule suicide stunt you pulled to get out of this marriage. We’ll pretend like none of this ever happened,” Alfred said, his tone icy.
– After all, given his disability, foul temper, and those rumors about his injury making him impotent, he couldn’t blame her if she decided she didn’t
want to marry him after all
But Kate didn’t waver. I’m not backing out. Til marry you.”
Alfred pressed his lips together, then said, “Fine. Wait for me downstairs,
Kate didn’t move.
Alfred glared at her. “Didn’t you say you wanted to marry me? Well, once I’ve changed, we’re going to city hall to get this over with.”
He’d given her an out, but she hadn’t taken it. If she was so hell–bent on marrying him, then he’d go through with it. He was curious to see just how long she would stick around.
day this now?”
Kate hesitated for a moment. “We’re doing
“What, getting cold feet?” Alfred asked, a touch of sarcasm in his voice.
Kate immediately straightened up. “Of course not!”
But then she faltered slightly. “Mr. Davidson, I only brought my passport. Uh… do we need anything else to get married?”
“With me, no other documents are necessary to get that marriage license, Alfred said flatly
Kate thought to herself, ‘Damn, he’s a boss!‘ Without another word, she headed downstairs to wait for him.
When they walked out of city hall, Kate clutched the marriage certificate in her hand, feeling like she was in a dream.
Tactually
y got married to Alfred. We even have the marriage license to prove in, she thought, pinching her thigh confirmed it wand a dream. “This time, I finally made the right choice.
Is with her free hand. The sharp pain
Kate couldn’t help but smile to herself. Good to be alive, isn’t it?”
