"Polly, I was so scared that after I died, I'd end up in hell. But it looks like I'm in heaven instead. By the way, is my mom here too?" Mona asked excitedly, though she could hardly believe it. After all, she'd said she'd rather fall into hell if it meant taking those two down with Maxwell had already gotten her revenge, so logically, she should be suffering in hell. But here she was, in heaven, feeling surprisingly happy. Then it hit her-what if Maxwell ended up in hell instead of her? The thought was like a dagger to her heart. She couldn't stand the idea of him suffering for her. Hearing Mona's words, Polly's hands shook, and the glass of milk fell to the floor with a loud crash. "Ms. Clem, are you okay? What are you talking about, hell? Don't scare me like that! And your mom's been gone for years," Polly said, her voice trembling. Tomorrow was supposed to be Mona's big day with Teddy, and Polly couldn't have her suddenly falling ill or acting strange. She touched Mona's forehead, checking for a fever, but everything seemed normal. No fever, so why is she talking like this?" Polly thought, confused. "My mom's dead? Then... where am I?" Mona glanced around, taking in her surroundings. This was definitely her home.

"Oh my gosh, Ms. Clem, you're home! And you're getting engaged to Teddy tomorrow! What's going on? I should get Mr. and Mrs. Clem and call a doctor," Polly said, starting to hurry out.

Mona quickly grabbed her arm. "I'm fine, really. I just had a bad dream." Mona wasn't sure what was happening yet and didn't want to worry her grandparents until she figured it out.

"You really scared me. If anything's wrong, you have to let me know right away," Polly said firmly before leaving the room. Sitting alone on her bed, Mona took in the familiar sight of her room. She grabbed her phone and checked the date. It was clear-she'd been given a second chance, right back to two years ago, the night before her engagement to Teddy. fate had handed her a do-over, she was determined to make sure the mistakes of her past list was dealing with tomorrow's engagement.

After a refreshing shower and changing into her pajamas, Mona noticed a bruise on her forehead. It was from when Barbara had "accidentally" pushed her down the stairs. Looking back, it was clear it wasn't an accident. Barbara couldn't stand the idea of Mona and Teddy getting engaged and took her anger out on Mona.

Mona grabbed her phone and dialed Maxwell's number. The call rang twice before cutting off suddenly. Mona was stunned. 'How could Maxwell not answer? He was so devoted to me in my past life, even avenging my death,' she thought.
