When we stopped at a red light, he turned off the music and said, “It's been hauntinglately, how I died in my
previous life...”
Victoria looked at the back of his head, a faint smile on her lips. ‘And?’ she thought.
“I can’t just let the Darwin family off the hook,” Jared said, glancing back at me.
| just said “Oh.” “Are you really okay with Tracy facing her family’s ruin?”
Jared let out a bitter laugh. “In my previous life, | lost my life. Yvonne could've ended up in jail. How could |
possibly let them off the hook?”
| looked out the window and sighed. “You do what you want. I've already let go of the past.”
Jared's expression stiffened for a moment, then he let out a self-deprecating laugh. “What was | hoping for?
Guess I'm just making trouble for myself.”
| went hto pack up, and Jared droveto the office. The company had arranged a van for a few of the
execs to take us to the airport.
Jared wouldn't take no for an answer and walkedall the way to the airport entrance, even followinginto
the terminal to the ticket counter.
“If it ever gets too much for you in Braylin, just cback. Hachester, Shaville, wherever you can always come
home,” Jared said, standing beside me.

| nodded. “Thanks. I'll do my best to make it in Braylin.”
Jared handeda key. “Take this apartment-it’s yours now. Think of it as something I'm giving you
after the divorce.”
| blinked in surprise-Jared was being unexpectedly generous.
“If you're giving it away, I'm not about to refuse,” | said. Thinking about how he used to hand money over to
Tracy in my previous life, | felt zero guilt about taking it now.
Jared smiled, glancing down. “That's exactly what | hoped for. I'll handle things with the kids. Braylin’s all yours
now-just take care of your team.”
“That's only fair,” | replied, just as the boarding call cover the speakers.
I lined up with the rest of the team to check in.

Just then, a familiar tall figure emerged from the crowd-it was Nathan.
“Victoria, sorry I'm late,” he said, coming right up and standing next to me.
| saw the sweat he hadn't even had tto wipe off, and it was obvious he'd rushed over.
“What are you doing here?” | couldn't help blurting out, surprised.
Nathan gave a little smile. “Is it so strange for a friend to csee you off?”
| felt a wave of gratitude. “Thanks for coming all this way. | gotta go now.”
Nathan nodded. “Alright, have a safe flight.”
As | walked down the boarding tunnel, | glanced back and saw two figures watching me-one close, one far. My
heart sank. | never wanted to be skind of heartbreaker, so why does it feel like I'm starting to act like one?
| tossed my hair and let the thought go.
It was a recipe for disaster to want the perks of being a heartbreaker without the skills to pull it off.
Even now that I'm in Braylin, romance isn’t really on my mind-I'm all about my career these days.
Sitting in first class as the plane slowly climbed, | watched Braylin, the city | knew so well, blur and shrink
beneath me. Suddenly, | felt so much lighter.
Maybe I'm meant to be a bird, chasing after distant horizons.
Is the scenery out there really as breathtaking as everyone says?
We landed at Capital International Airport a little after noon, Scolleagues who'd arrived ahead of us had
already brought cars to pick everyone up.
“Ms. Murphy, want to ride with us?” one of the female execs asked with a friendly smile.
The moment | powered on my phone, it blew up with messages-all from Ryan.
He was already at the exit, waiting for me.
| told her right away, “I'll catch a ride with a friend. You all go on ahead.”
After my colleagues left, | took my sweet tfinding my suitcase and slowly made my way toward
the exit.
The place was packed with people waiting for arrivals, but | spotted Ryan right away

Even though he was all bundled up, his tall figure and that air of sophistication made him impossible
to miss.
As soon as | walked over, he reached out and took my suitcase. Someone nearby pointed atand asked, “Is
she skind of celebrity?”
“Wow, she’s gorgeous...” someone else murmured.
People were complimenting me, but | just ducked my head and quickly caught up with Ryan.
A black Mercedes-Benz van was waiting. After Ryan loaded my suitcase, he turned and held out his
hand to me.
| paused for a moment, and he curved his lips into a faint smile. “What's this? Getting all distant on
me?”
