Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The sharp , shrill wail of an ambulance siren cut through the chaos of the bustling city streets like a blade through fabric .
Its mournful cry echoed off the towering buildings , reverberating through the air with a sense of urgency that could not be ignored .
Inside the ambulance , Rosalie Talley lay on the stretcher , her consciousness gradually slipping away .
The distant , muffled voices of the paramedics reached her ears , their conversation blending into the chaotic hum surrounding her .
One of the paramedics took her phone .
A moment later , Rosalie heard the sound of a call being made .
Hello , is this Rosalie Talleys husband ? The paramedics voice was calm but urgent .
Your wife was in a car accident .
Were on the way to the hospital right now .
Please Is she dead ? A cold , emotionless male voice cut her off mid sentence .
The paramedic was momentarily stunned , instinctively answering , No Im busy .
Call me when she is .
Wait- Before the paramedic could finish speaking , the line went dead .
The monotonous beeping of the disconnected call echoed in the cramped ambulance , each tone dripping with cruel indifference mocking , ridiculing , as if laughing at Rosalies foolish devotion .
Even as her consciousness faded , Julian Galloways words somehow stabbed into her mind with painful clarity , each syllable carved deep into her soul .
A bitter smile curved her lips .
She let her eyes drift shut as a thought surfaced in her hazy mind .
She pondered , Thats enough .
Some people are just born cold hearted , arent they ? How could I have been so naive to think I could ever change him ? Her fingers twitched slightly before her arm went limp , slipping lifelessly to her side .
The last thing she heard was the paramedics voice , urgent yet distant .
The patients heart has stopped … Rosalie sat up abruptly in bed , her breath coming in shallow gasps .
Dazed , she stared at her hands soft , smooth , and completely unscathed .
Her flawless skin bore no trace of injury , not even the faintest scratch .
She wondered , her heart pounding against her ribs , What is going on ? Wasnt I in a car accident ? Wasnt I supposed to be in the ambulance , being rushed to the hospital ? Then why am I back in my bedroom , without a single wound on my body ? A sudden , unbelievable thought crashed into her mind .
Rosalies breath caught as she snapped her gaze to the clock on the wall .
The glowing numbers read January 1 , 2020 .
She thought , a shiver running down her spine , Have I traveled back in time ? It sounded absurd something that only happened in movies or novels .
But there was no other explanation for why she was lying in her bedroom , completely unharmed , while the clock displayed a date from one year ago .

She wondered , Is the universe giving me a second chance ? A chance to make a different choice ? 1/2 14:54 Mon , 3 Mar Chapter 1 The memory of Julians cruel words before her death in her past life flashed through her mind , making her lips curl into a bitter , self mocking smile .
Then , as if struck by a sudden realization , she turned sharply , yanking open the drawer of her bedside table .
Of course .
Rosalie let out a cold laugh , her eyes landing on the divorce agreement , the bold letters standing out unmistakably Julian had sent it over through his lawyer just yesterday .
Even when it came to ending their marriage , he couldnt be bothered to meet her in person .
In her past life , she had stubbornly refused to sign it , clinging to a marriage that had long since withered into nothing but a legal bond on paper .
Their relationship had only grown more strained Julian had barely come home for a year , and even when he did , hed never spared her more than a few indifferent glances , let alone talking to her .
She still didnt know what exactly she had been holding onto or why she had been so desperate to keep a dead marriage intact .
She had thought that as long as she stayed by Julians side as long as she remained his wife one day , she would finally reach his heart .
But reality had been cruel .
Even when she lay on the brink of death after a severe car accident , he hadnt shown the slightest concern .
He hadnt even cared enough to ask if she would survive .
Instead , he had been waiting for her to die .
At that thought , a familiar dull ache throbbed in Rosalies chest .
Julian was like an executioner wielding a blade , mercilessly skilled at slicing her heart apart piece by piece .
No matter how much it hurt no matter how many times he had torn her apart she had still refused to let go .
But now , as she dwelled on it , the whole thing felt utterly laughable .
Reaching into the drawer , she pulled out the divorce agreement .
Her gaze swept over the pages , taking in every word , every clause .
Julian might not have had an ounce of affection for her , but when it came to money , he was undeniably generous .
The assets he had allocated to her in the divorce settlement were more than enough to ensure she could live in luxury for several lifetimes without lifting a finger .
Once she finished reading through the document , she headed to the study .
When she emerged a while later , a folder was clutched in her hands .
Without hesitation , she dialed Julians lawyer .
Mr.
Carson , she said coolly , Ive signed the divorce agreement .
I made a few modifications .
Please pass it along to Julian .
If and sig her 2/2
