Rebirth Into My Second Chance

"Max is just not your average guy," Tracey spat out as if she had reached her limit. She didn't realize Max was already coming toward us.

I let my hand go limp in her grip, dropping it to the side with a dramatic flop. "Max, it hurts."

He quickly stepped in, pulling me away from Tracey. "Tracey, if you don't like it, leave."

But ever persistent, Tracey tried to speak again. Max cut her off coldly, "My father arranged the engagement without my consent. You want to get married, don't you? Go find whoever arranged it and marry him."

The subtext was clear. Tracey might as well be going to hell to ask Death God for a husband. I couldn't help but snort with laughter. What could be wrong with Max?

Tracey looked wronged. "Max, after all these years by your side, do you not remember anything?"

I looked at Max, wondering if he had ever lost his memory.
