Chapter 1
Right before SATs, I took away the runaway proposal that Rachel Eden, our school’s prom queen, had left for my childhood sweetheart Jonas Parker.
Jonas crushed the SATs and became star quarterback with a full ride to Harvard. But Rachel threw herself into the river in despair.]
Years later, Jonas and I graduated from Harvard together and got engaged under our families‘ arrangement.[]
On my wedding day, Jonas helped me put on my wedding dress with his own hands.[]
Then he shoved me into a private room packed with drunk guys.[]
He just stood outside the door smoking while I screamed and begged for help:
“Rachel’s parents died right before the SATs and she was having a complete breakdown.[]
“If you hadn’t taken her letter, I would’ve been there to save her on exam day.“[]
“If you hadn’t screwed everything up, she wouldn’t have died alone in that river.“]
Ten hours later, bruised all over and nearly unconscious, I jumped from the tenth floor.]
When I opened my eyes again, I was watching Rachel Eden slip that elopement invitation into Jonas Parker’s locker.
I grabbed my backpack and walked away.
This time, I’m going after my future alone.
My childhood sweetheart Jonas Parker came bursting into the classroom, completely out of breath.[]
The second he saw me, he grabbed my wrists and searched me from head to toe.
When he found nothing on me, he paused for a moment, then rushed to his own locker.
Rachel Eden’s elopement invitation was lying there.[]
He didn’t even glance at me, just shoved past me and ran out.]
Rachel hadn’t gotten far. With his quarterback’s height and long legs, Jonas caught up to her in just a few strides.
I stood at the stairwell, watching them embrace tightly down below.[]
Rachel struggled a bit, but after Jonas said a few words, she melted into his chest with tears streaming down her face.
I turned to leave, but I still caught the key parts:[]
“I promise you, I promise I’ll never leave you for the rest of my life.]
“Forget the SATs – I can always retake them later. You’re the most important test of my life.“]
That’s when I knew Jonas had been reborn too.]
Rachel’s voice was all sweet and soft:
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll hold you back?”[]
“Being with you… who cares about college anyway…“[]
I found it hilarious –
In his past life, Jonas had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He had no idea what it was like to have nothing.
Reborn Before the SAT, I Let Him Go and Took Back My Tuture
Chapter 1
He didn’t remember how his Harvard degree had brought him connections and wealth. All he could think about was how I’d made him lose his dream girl.
Since he was so determined to choose Rachel instead degree, I hoped he wouldn’t regret it.[]
While I was reviewing at home, Jonas texted me:[]
[Keep your mouth shut][]
I calmly replied: [OK]]]
He didn’t need to tell me. This time around, I was never getting involved in his life.]
Our families were neighbors.]
I’d just finished practice tests and was taking out the trash when I saw Jonas being dragged out of a car by his parents.]
Mrs. Parker smacked him upside the head:
Look at you now! Running off to elope right before SATS! Do you have any idea what you’re doing?!”
Jonas fought back:
“Mom! Dad! Rachel and I are truly in love!“]]
“You stupid bastard!”
Mr. Parker slapped him across the face.
When they saw me, his parents quickly pulled me over:
“Oh thank God, Ruby! We feel so much better with you here! This brat has fallen for some girl at your school and won’t stop whining about eloping. You need to talk some sense into him!“]
Ever since we were kids, Jonas had always been the spoiled rich playboy, while I was every parent’s dream good daughter.]
Whenever Jonas stepped out of line, I was always the one trying to keep him in check.]
Right now, he whipped around to glare at me, his eyes flashing with rage:]
“You again! I knew it! You snitched to my parents again! Why can’t you mind your own damn business? Why do you always have to mess with my life?!”
