After Daniel retreated to his room, he hopped onto his GlobalGigaNet account, eager to check his messages. Scrolling through, he was shocked that Sherman had boldly asked Phoenix to connect on the chat app.

Daniel's jaw dropped in shock and a look of utter disbelief painted across his face.

Man, this Phoenix was something else!

Mad respect!

His curiosity about Phoenix was growing by the second!

"No, please, no!" The figure jolted awake from a nightmare, fumbling to switch on the bedside lamp, her face pale as a sheet, forehead slick with cold sweat.

Rebecca had been haunted by that dream again.

Even upon waking, she couldn't shake off the pain and despair from her past life's final moments and that face.

Just the thought of it filled her with an unbearable dread.

In this life, she was determined to break the cycle.

The bitter taste of powerlessness gnawed at her. Her fate was in the hands of another, out of her control.

In this lifetime, she'd ensure to become the woman by his side, at the very top of the social pyramid!

It took more than looks to catch Mr. Christensen's eye. She needed substance and strength.

It was time to step up her game with Daniel.

Rebecca's eyes narrowed with resolve.
