Chapter 2

When I opened my eyes again, I was drenched in cold sweat.

The pain of being hit by the truck in my past life still lingered. Even as I died, I couldn't understand

why everyone was saying today was my wedding to Chloe.

I quickly searched: "Chloe wedding."

But there wasn't a single piece of information about her dating or getting married!

My contacts, my chat history, even my Ins and photo gallery—

there was no information about her anywhere!

My phone vibrated frantically. Liam's anxious voice came through:

"Ethan, the wedding's about to start, where are you?"

"Everyone's getting impatient, hurry up, you need to make your entrance!"

His voice was full of frantic urgency, but I felt ice-cold all over.

I, stone-faced, sent him screenshots of the information I'd gathered:

"Liam, there's a limit to jokes! Chloe and I have zero connection. What wedding are you talking about?"

Liam paused, then immediately turned his phone to the grand ballroom.

Chloe, in a flowing white gown, and a crowd of guests appeared before my eyes.

"Dude, are you okay? You already signed the papers, and you're saying you're not married?"

"The ceremony's about to begin! Why are you using some ancient news from a burner account to pretend you're single? What's your deal?"

"Stop stalling! Everyone's waiting for you to make your entrance!"

The groomsmen also crowded around:

"Ethan, where did you go? You just disappeared, we've been looking everywhere!"

"Chloe proposed to you 99 times! This wedding alone cost millions! What more could you possibly want?"

Chloe proposed to me 99 times? What a joke!

She was known as the Ice Queen, untouchable and aloof.

What pull do I have with a multi-billionaire tech CEO like her?

Chloe's clear, cool voice suddenly cut in:

"Did you find Ethan? Is his phone connected?"

"No, not yet..."

Liam quickly covered his phone, answering guiltily.

Chloe's eyes darkened. She turned and coldly instructed her bodyguards:

"Check the hotel surveillance. Find Ethan immediately!"

Seeing this, Liam immediately lowered his voice and warned me:

"You moron, did you hear that? Chloe's been looking for you all morning!"

"Stop messing around and get out here! No matter how much she spoils you, you're leaving everyone hanging here today. Where's her dignity in that?"

"If you don't come soon, I can't cover for you anymore!"

As he spoke, he raised his phone again.

My parents stood anxiously by the door, looking around, and guests were buzzing with chatter.
