He scowled at me, a resistant look flashed in his eyes. "Yeah, so?" he retorted, his words carrying a hint of arrogance. It was a response that left me momentarily speechless, not entirely unfamiliar with Alex's ability to catch me off guard or make me so speechless but enough for me to have the urge to punch that handsome face of his.

Taking a moment to collect my thoughts, I addressed him with a calm yet confident demeanor along with my tone as cold like the coldness of the ice. "If you're joining us to shop, then you must have your own money. I won't have any spare cash for the things you want to buy if we ever arrive at the market or mall we are going to go."

His eyes rolled dramatically, and a surge of frustration coursed through me. My fist clenched instinctively; the urge to retaliate was almost overpowering. However, I managed to restrain myself, waiting for Alex's reaction to my condition.

It seemed... I don't have any more patience to spare anymore after I come to this world.

What could go wrong?

Well, except that I seemed to have many patience in the presence of Damien and Ethan who also give me my very own black card so suddenly in a moment of complicated situation, in the face of Alex and the other husbands which I will be divorcing soon, I always had the idea of punching or torturing this kid to the core for always making me irritated and frustrated for some reason every time and for the others that always annoy me even if I tried hard to make myself calm.

In a tone laced with sarcasm, Alex responded, "I am an heir to a wealthy institute, after all. I have more than enough money to cover my own expenses and buy whatever I need or want. I don't need you or the money you stole from Damien and Ethan to be spent on what ever I buy, you gold digger---wicked woman"

His words hung in the air, leaving me to process this guy sudden revelation(show off). A wealthy heir—this information added a layer of complication to our changing---dynamic. It raised questions about Alex's background but I am already thinking that all of my husbands were really big shots, except that there is some people that still can't divorce because they can't get their inheritance if ever they divorce.

"...."

Well, the revelation of this guy being a heir for a wealthy institue of the world also raised some other questions apart from his background, some questions is also like the reasons behind his sudden interest in joining us, and whether his financial status would affect our shopping trip.

He knows better to change the gold digger to his usual call for me or else if he did not take it back, this guy would be able to say hello to the underworld king.

"Then, that is great. I don't want to spare any money for you, so that's great that you have the money yourself,"I said, also rolling my eyes at him.

"You--!"

I did not paid any attention to Alex's words again as I smiled at Damien, and walked towards the back, the back in which Damien wheelchair is located...

After I arrived at Damien back, I planned on pushing Damien wheelchair myself so I pushed the wheelchair, but then, I stopped when Damien held my hand.

"Don't push me, it is not your job to do so, but my bodyguards. Don't let yourself be treated like some sort of servant when you are with me, Kate," Damien said in a serious tone.

I nodded my head seriously but then tilted my head. "If I am not the one that is allowed to push you and your bodyguards are nowhere in sight, who else will be the one on taking the task to push your wheelchair?'

After my words fell, me and Damien both looked at Alex at the side in unison.

Alex furrowed his brows, as if he also knew what was on our minds, and shook his head immediately.

"There is no way I will be the one pushing this guy outside!" Alex said with wide eyes as he pointed at Damien in the face.

I frowned, feeling irritated when he pointed at my husband, who seemed to be my sugar dada. Stepping forward, I grab the finger that was used to point Damien's face as I coldly look at Alex in the eyes.

"Don't point at people casually, especially my sugar dada—I mean, my sweet husband, or else you will face some serious consequences, Alex, and also, don't you want to join us shopping? Why don't you use yourself wisely like what you said a while ago even if the term 'using wisely' will be used on your service?"

I said this without breaking any contact with Alex while still grabbing his finger.

Alex only scowled at me as he flung my hands away. Walking behind Damien, he held the handheld of the wheelchair as he harrumphed after making eye contact with me once again.

Quite defeated if you may ask.

But even if Alex already admits defeat, why do I feel like I am stepping on shit?

The type where I won but I don't feel any joy at all?

"...."

My temper boiled over once again. I wanted to punch this guy so much, but I couldn't, since maybe Alex would change his mind about being Damien's pusher in the meantime on the way to the market or mall then on the way home.

"..."

Oh suffering! Why do you always love to be with me all the time?

Are you really in love with me that much?

I took a deep breath as I looked at myself. Well, I am still in my pajamas, but I will shop for clothes too, so there is no need for me to dress up if I can just wear some new clothes there to replace this pajamas, right?

Yeah.

Let's just go.

"You are not going to change?" Alex asked with raised brows.

I looked at him with a deadpan expression, "I will change clothes there. Save the hassle of making myself put a lot of effort"

I said with a sarcastic tone.

As we stepped outside, the possibility of guiding the shopping trip with Damien and the frickly Alex loomed ahead.

Sigh.

This will be an exhausting day, I know.

Little did I know that it will not be only exhaustion that will greet me but there would be also something unexpected but expected to happen to me soon once I stepped foot in one of the markets and mall here in this world.

Busy market had lots of colors and good smells. People were doing their stuff and making noise.

The three of us, a weird group probably here since Alex was too noisy for me to bear as he was already complaining that he does not want to push Damien anymore since he got the feeling that someone is thinking, he as a young master, was someone else maid.

"...."

This world is really making my head ache as always.

Oh! It's not the world that is making my head ache but it was one of the people living in this world.

As I did not paid any attention to Alex complaints once again, we walked through the crowded aisles. Damien, in a wheelchair, got looks. Alex seemed indifferent, and it was tough to figure out what he really wanted after we arrived at the crowded aisles.

But I don't have any such problem with whatever they are facing, as long as when my eyes landed something pretty, beautiful and valuable, I automatically put it in the cart without caring about the price.

Hey, I got a lot of black cards in my possession now! 

It be too weird if I will still be hesitating because of the price when I have a lot of black cards in my hands, right?

As I put what I wanted on the cart, I looked at Damien and Alex who looked at me.

"What?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders at them.

Damien only smiled but Alex furrowed his brows as he looked at the cart I was holding then to my face.

"Are you finished shopping now?" Alex fired another question back without answering my question.

I would be very irritated again if someone ask me questions in turn after I asked a question, but since I was in a good mood, I answered Alex question simply.

"I'm not done yet" after stating my response, I turned my back as I left the full cart to a safe place and got another cart to fill up once again.

I did not look at the speechless expression on Alex face as we continued to walk in the market, looking for some things that I wanted to buy and hopefully for Alex and Damien to decide or to spot on what they wanted to buy.

We stopped at a clothes stall with cool stuff.

Yeah! Some clothes!

I will take the opportunity to change ths pajamas then if I ever see some suitable clothes to put on.

Damien and Alex wasn't into fashion or does not want to buy clothes, so he and Alex waited while I shopped. I looked at the latest styles, trying to figure out what I liked.

But then, things got weird.

As a sales clerk smiled and came closer to me, he held my hand and whispered something close to my ears but... I can't hear his words, I only felt that he was injecting me something.

I furrowed my brows.

As I pushed the sales clerk down, he was still all smiles.

My brows creased more as I went outside and then looked at the surroundings.

The market sounds faded, I got dizzy, and everything started spinning. I panicked, anxiety looming inside my chest as I reached out for support to where Damien and Alex is.

My sight were foggy but I still forced myself to ask for help.

"D-Damien," I shouted, my voice trembling. Damien and Alex turned to me, their faces changing from not caring to worried as they saw my unsightly appearance.

Suddenly, my legs gave out, and everything went dark.

---

When I woke up, bright lights and the smell of cleaning supplies hit me. Machines beeped around me, and confusion filled my mind.

I slowly turned my eyes as I explored my surroundings once again, after taking in whatever I could see, I can conclude where I am currently in.

Damien and Alex were gone.

The market and the mall I was in disappeared.

I was in a hospital bed, connected to monitors.

And I seemed to realize something... but I still can't confirm it as there is not enough proof or thorough evidence.

A nurse came in and looked surprised to see me awake. She called the doctor, who came quickly to check on me. I had lots of questions, but the doctor started explaining.

"You were in a car crash a while ago. We're still doing tests, but it looks like your blood pressure suddenly dropped. You're lucky your boyfriend called for help right away."

I couldn't help but feel that this wasn't just a random health issue. Thoughts of Damien and Alex and my other husbands---well, Kate husbands came to my mind. I wondered if they were still around or if our connection was gone.

I anxiously waited for more information. The unexpected events raised many questions about our worlds and the mysterious people in my life.

But... Boyfriend?

My face went pale as I grabbed the doctor's arm and asked, "What boyfriend?"

The doctor smiled, "It's that guy named Drew over there."

So, they said I had a car accident, and my blood pressure dropped. Luckily, my "boyfriend" called for help.

Wait, boyfriend? I was shocked. I grabbed the doctor and asked, "What boyfriend?"

The doctor pointed to Drew in the doorway. I looked and really saw Drew, but my mood darkened when I noticed Jessica with him, trying to get close.

I'm back...

I'm really back...?

The sudden realization of me finally back to my original world hit me hard as my eyes darkened as I lost consciousness once again.

The doctor and nurse's voices keep buzzing in my head but I don't care about them, as I let myself embrace the land of darkness that visited me again.
