LOGINAfter being reborn, I quietly cut all ties with my husband, Nathaniel Cole. I go to work alone. I watch movies alone. Even when I cook, I only make enough for one. All because in my last life, I had married him only to be neglected for 40 years. At the very end, he coldly pulled the oxygen tube from me, spitting out words filled with hatred. "If I had a choice, I never would've married you!" I died in pain, filled with resentment. When I open my eyes again, my mother is speaking to me and my sister. "According to the marriage agreement, one of you has to marry Nathaniel. Which one of you will it be?" I'm just about to refuse when my sister, Catherine Brown, steps forward. She shoots me a contemptuous glance and says, "Mom, I'll marry him."
View MoreWhen word got out that I was back, Nathaniel started showing up at the house almost every day.I had no choice. On the second day of the new year, I told my mother I was leaving. Once I left home, I got back on the bus heading into the city. I had barely sat down when I heard shouting from the station.Nathaniel had spotted me. He hadn't even bought a ticket and just tried to rush inside. The security guard caught him and blocked the way. "Let me through! I need to find someone!"The guard didn't budge. "Sir, buy a ticket first. Once you've got one, you can go in."Grinding his teeth, he had no choice but to go back and get a ticket.Thankfully, the bus I was on was already full. By the time he came back, the bus was just about to pull out.He threw himself in front of it, waving his ticket frantically. "Stop! I need to get on this bus!""Sorry, sir, this one's full. You'll need to wait for the next."Of course, he wouldn't give up that easily. He clung to the bus door like a m
After that fiasco, the New Year came quickly.I didn't want to go back, but since it was Catherine's first year married to Nathaniel, she'd probably be spending the holiday with his family. That left my mother alone at home for New Year's, and I couldn't shake the worry.So after thinking it over, I bought some gifts for the holiday and went home.I didn't return until New Year's Eve. I hadn't expected to run into Catherine. It was like she had been waiting for me, because the second she saw me, she started mocking me with that fake, syrupy tone."Bella, it's already New Year's Eve and you're just getting home. You must've made quite a bit of money these past months. I wonder how much money you're giving Mom this year."My mother frowned, trying to smooth things over. "It doesn't matter if she gives one or not, as long as you both come home for the New Year, that's enough."Bella, you've been gone almost a year now. Is there anything you've been craving? I'll cook it for you righ
After moving to the city alone, I rented a small room near a movie theater and picked up a job there doing odd tasks.In my last life, I loved watching movies. But whenever I suggested going for one, Nathaniel was mostly against the idea. He'd scold me mercilessly, saying it was a complete waste of time.Now, it felt like I was making up for that regret. I practically threw myself into work every day. Before I knew it, half a year had gone by in the city. I'd gone from just another worker doing grunt work to a junior manager at the theater.I never expected to run into Nathaniel there on Christmas.He was standing in line to buy tickets.It was Catherine who spotted me first. "Bella, you're actually here!" Her eyes burned with fury and resentment.I couldn't figure it out. I'd been gone for over half a year, doing everything I could to avoid them. So why was she still holding such a grudge against me? But I didn't take it to heart.After being away for over half a year, I had lo
Looking at Nathaniel's twisted face and hearing his roar, even the bus ticket agent froze.After snapping out of it, she glared at him coldly. "Who are you? Whoever's on this bus has nothing to do with you!""How can that be? The one sitting inside is my—"Halfway through the sentence, he suddenly stopped. It hit him that I had nothing to do with him anymore.I was only his sister-in-law now. He had no right to demand answers about where I was going.Just then, Catherine came running up from behind, grabbing his hand. "What's wrong? Did you see someone?"He clutched at her like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, pushing her forward. "Catherine, hurry and ask them if the person who just got on the bus was Bella!"Her excitement from moments ago froze instantly on her face. She shoved him away and said angrily, "Nathaniel, it's our wedding day today! Why do you care where Bella goes or what she does?"Gather yourself! I'm your bride now!"He stood there stunned, unable to say a
