The moment I looked up and saw him, my whole body froze.
Why? Why him of all people?
Anger burned like lava in my veins, and for a split second, it felt like the air had been knocked out of me. Even hearing his name in my head made bile rise in my throat.
In a flash, memories from my past life crashed through me like—catching him in bed with Jiang Xinyue, their laughter echoing in my ears; his mocking tone when I confronted him; his smirk when he told me to be his mistress.
Mistress!
I had loved him so blindly that I'd given up my dignity for him, while he treated me like a joke, a toy he could play with and discard whenever he wanted.
I always knew I'd see him again someday. I just didn't expect fate to throw him in my face this soon and in a place where I couldn't even curse him properly.
In my past life, being in his arms would've made my heart race. That smug smile would've melted me. His voice alone could have made me forget every pain the world gave me.
But now?
