The Hundredth Rejection
Language: en
Before leaving for my final mission, I asked Julian one last time: "Will you marry me?" He was silent for a moment. "Okay." My heart—and the System in my head—dropped at the same time. "Crap." I was supposed to be rejected one hundred times to return to my real world. Turns out, I panicked for nothing. On my last mission, a twist of fate made me the sacrificial lamb for his first love. Julian stayed by her side for three days before he even remembered me. By the time he asked, the news had already broken: Officer Chloe Hart, killed in the line of duty.
