The Future Said He Would Kill My Family

Chapter 1

I was at the dealership getting my luxury car serviced when the customer service manager accidentally pulled up a clip from my dashcam.

On the screen, my fiancé, Marcus Hayes, was wrapping his arm around a heavily pregnant woman, looking incredibly tender.

I forwarded the video to him right then and there.

After a few seconds of tense silence, he texted back:

"That’s just my distant cousin. Her husband is deployed overseas, so I'm just looking out for her."

I hesitated. Thinking of our seven years of history, I chose to believe him.

Just then, a floating screen of glowing, semi-transparent comments suddenly drifted across my field of vision.

The comments claimed she was me from ten years in the future.

[Don't believe him! Marcus is cheating on you.]

[The luxury wedding gifts from your dad and brother, all the money you invested in his startup—he's going to use all of it to pamper his mistress.]

[In ten years, he will cause the tragic deaths of your father and brother, stealing every single penny your family owns.]

My fingers turned ice-cold. I thought I was sleep-deprived and hallucinating.

"What the hell? I’ve been with Marcus for seven years. I know what kind of man he is."

The floating screen erupted again:

[We knew you wouldn't believe it.]

[Drive to Villa 8 at The Grand Crest right now. That's the mansion your dad bought for your wedding. Marcus is hosting a baby welcoming party for his son right there!]

My heart clenched.

Taking a deep breath, I dialed my billionaire father.

"Dad, Marcus is cheating on me."

"I'm heading to The Grand Crest now. Bring some security and meet me there."
