Chapter 1

Just as I lay down on my bed, my best friend's call came through:

"Ethan, where the heck are you? The wedding's about to start! Why aren't you here yet?"

I was stunned. "What wedding?"

Liam sounded furious. "Yours and Chloe's wedding, of course!"

I thought he was joking, but then he turned the camera to the wedding venue.

In the city's premier hotel ballroom, my parents and a host of relatives and friends were all seated.

The welcome sign at the entrance clearly read:

【Ethan Miller & Chloe’s Wedding Ceremony!】

My scalp instantly prickled.

Chloe? Wasn't she the goddess I'd secretly adored for years?

She was the city's wealthiest CEO, and I was just a guy barely scraping by on minimum wage.

I hadn't seen her since high school graduation; I didn't even have her SnapChat.

Get married? Get married to whom?

But Liam was so insistent, everyone was urging me to hurry to the wedding.

To find out what was going on, I rushed to the hotel.

But the moment I stepped out, I was hit by a runaway truck and died on the spot.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the moment Liam called me.
