The Wife He Forgot to Save

From the back cover

Everyone on the base believes Grant Sterling loves his wife, Zoe. Then she learns he has been quietly supporting Bella, his first love, and when she confronts him, he has her thrown into a confinement cell to protect the other woman's name. Released after three days, Zoe remembers dying in a mudslide — and waking again in her old life, with Grant waiting at the gate as if nothing happened.

He cooks, he explains Bella's past, he promises to support Zoe forever. But his coat smells of Bella's soap, and his salary still flows to another woman. This time Zoe does not cling or beg. She sets down her bowl, tells him she is preparing for the exams, and walks away from the marriage he already abandoned.

In a year when the National College Entrance Exams have just been reinstated, a woman who has already died once chooses to study her way out instead of waiting to be saved.
