Chapter 2

One month later, Aria was discharged from the hospital.

On the day Aria and I were planning to take our wedding photos, our car was rear-ended by a black Lamborghini.

"Who the hell! How rude!"

With that, Aria got out of the car to confront them.

A tall, striking man in a black suit stepped out of the black Lamborghini behind us.

"I'm so sorry, I just got back to the country and I'm not quite familiar with the roads here yet. I apologize for the trouble!"

"How about I add you on WhatsApp? That way we can easily keep in touch if there's any need for compensation later."

Aria told me to wait in the car, but I was too worried to let her deal with this alone as a woman.

After hearing the man's voice, I instinctively looked out through the rearview mirror.

But when I clearly saw the man's face, my entire body instantly froze.

That man looked exactly like the murderer who brutally killed my entire family seven years in the future.

He was Aria's first love!

By the time I snapped back to reality, I had already stumbled out of the car in a daze.

Aria turned to look at me.

"Frost, why did you get out?"

I unconsciously glanced at Aria's phone.

There was a blank chat window on the screen, likely from just adding Zoran on WhatsApp.Could they really be reuniting and rekindling an old flame like this?

No!

I can't let this happen!

I also pulled out my phone, forcing a stiff smile.

"My girlfriend might not be available, so why don't you and I stay in touch? What should I call you?"

The man across from me smiled. "My name is Zoran."

I felt like I'd been struck by lightning.

Even the name was exactly the same!

So the future I saw wasn't fake after all!

The fender bender wasn't too serious. I contacted the insurance company right away, and compensation wouldn't be an issue.

After dealing with the negotiations, I took Aria to pick out a wedding dress at the bridal shop.

Seeing me distracted, Aria looked at me tenderly, asking with concern: "Frost, you've seemed off since we got in the car. Is something bothering you?"

I must have looked awful.

"Aria, delete that guy's number from your phone."

Aria didn't react at first.

"Frost, what's wrong?"

I suddenly lost control of my emotions.

"I said delete it!"

Aria probably hadn't expected such an intense reaction from me. Though confused, she did as I asked.

"I deleted it, sweetheart. Don't be angry..."

She kissed my lips, trying to comfort me."I know you don't like me adding other men on WeChat. I won't do it carelessly in the future, so I don't make you angry."

I felt my eyes well up with tears, and I couldn't help but hug her tightly.

I didn't know how to explain my current thoughts to Aria, but I was afraid of a future tragedy happening.

So I tried my best to control Aria, not allowing her any chance to interact with Zoran.

But I never expected that everything was already predetermined.

Three days later, I went to pick up Aria from work and encountered Zoran again at the base of their office building.

He was smiling, chatting with Aria about something.

My head instantly started buzzing.

I couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Aria turned her head and saw my car, so she ended their conversation and got into the car with a bright smile.

"Sweetheart, why did you come so early today?"

She tried to talk to me, but I kept a cold face and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until she repeatedly asked with concern what was wrong that I finally spoke coldly.

"Who was that man just now?"

Aria smiled with sudden realization.

"I was wondering why you were in a bad mood again today. So you're jealous again."

She reached out to rub my face, but I quickly dodged it.Aria let out a resigned smile and began to explain, "His name is Zoran. He's the new manager who just transferred to our company. Remember we met him before? He's the guy who rear-ended us that day. I never expected to run into him again at work."

Aria shook her head with a laugh and didn't mention him again.

But for me, it was like striking a sensitive nerve. My mind went wild, imagining all sorts of things happening between them.

Under the manipulative hand of fate, two strangers from just a few days ago had now become superior and subordinate.

So seven years later, she would fall out of love with me and into love with Zoran.

She might even go as far as pushing me out of a car for Zoran's sake, leaving me to freeze to death in the icy snow, and then go on to kill my entire family.

What's so impossible about any of that?

As these thoughts crossed my mind, my heart instantly grew cold.

"Aria, let's break up."

I need to avoid this risk early!
