Chapter 3 

After stumbling out of the hotel, I hailed a ride. The driver glanced at me and offered some 

advice. 

“Miss, seems like you’ve had a few drinks. Should I call someone to help you later?” 

here was no one to call. 

I shook my head in silence and rolled down the window, letting the cool night air hit my face as the city lights blurred past. 

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind: Shouldn’t I have married Leo then? 

Because we were MATE, I knew from the first moment I saw the handsome man that we were destined to be mates. 

But what Leo thought, I never knew. 

If I hadn’t married him back then, what would my life be like now? 

Would it always be shadowed by doubt, a loneliness I couldn’t shake? 

As I looked out the window at people walking through their lives, I found myself questioning, for the first time, whether I really wanted to carry on this marriage with Leo.
