LOGINIn my previous life, everyone in my family could hear my mother's inner thoughts. I managed to land a new job. The pay was high, and the benefits were great. Instead of being happy for me, she was deeply anxious. She thought, "With her education and her abilities, how could she possibly get a job like that? She must've slept her way to it." After my father heard that, he refused to let me go to work. He stormed into my workplace, made a huge scene, and got me fired. I was furious and decided to move out for a while and stay at my boyfriend's place. On the surface, my mother supported my decision. Deep down, however, she was desperately trying to stop me. She thought, "What should I do? That boyfriend of hers has been married for years. He even has a child. She's someone's mistress. "If she really moves in, that man's wife will surely have a go at her. She'll embarrass the rest of us!" To keep me from leaving, my younger brother broke both my legs with a stick. Then, they locked me inside the house and leave me to suffer on my own. My wounds festered and became infected. I begged them to take me to the hospital, but my mother sighed inwardly, thinking, "She's so rebellious. No matter what anyone says, she insists on leaving this family. "In truth, there's nothing wrong with her legs at all. Once she gets to the hospital, she'll definitely escape." After that, everyone ignored my pleas and left me to die in agony. Even at the very end, I never knew who was to blame for my death. When I open my eyes again now, I realize that I, too, can hear my mother's inner thoughts.

Dad was trembling with anger and slapped Mom across the face.Her first love, Jasper, just stood back, watching from a distance, too afraid to step in. Upon seeing that, I couldn't help but sneer, "Mom, look! That man doesn't even love you."Dad heard me and wasn't about to let Jasper walk away unpunished. He yelled, "You bastard! You slept with my wife! I'm going to kill you!"I couldn't believe I hadn't realized how blinded by love Mom could be. She'd let herself get hit without fighting back, but the moment Jasper was in danger, she jumped to protect him.The three of them crashed together in a chaotic tangle. David stood off to the side, completely dumbfounded."Come at me instead! Don't touch Jasper!" Mom screamed.There was no way Mom could stand up to Dad. With a single push, he sent her sprawling several feet across the room, landing right in front of the champagne tower.A bottle of champagne happened to be nearby
Lying there on the floor, I buried my face in my hands and laughed. At first, Mom thought I'd finally lost my mind. But as my laughter grew louder, her expression shifted."W-Why are you laughing?" she asked.I lifted my head. There wasn't a trace of sadness on my face anymore. "You didn't seriously think I'd let you smear me over and over without fighting back, did you?"She froze. "What are you talking about?"I called out toward the door, "Honey, you can come back now."The door opened. Charlie walked in, followed by a middle-aged man. The moment Mom saw that man's face, she panicked."Selena, what's going on? What kind of game are you and Mom playing?" David asked, confused.Dad looked just as lost.I pointed at the man behind Charlie. "Have you ever wondered why Mom has spent her whole life trying to ruin me, why she can't stand seeing me happy, and lights up when I'm miserable? That man is the reason."David was baffled. "What? Who is that?"I patted his shoulder. "Sill
The wedding day arrived quickly. We didn't invite many people. Charlie's parents were gone, and he wasn't close to his relatives. There simply weren't many guests to invite.The ceremony began smoothly. As Charlie lifted the ring, about to slide it onto my finger, I heard Mom's inner thoughts again."What a cursed match! Charlie is so outstanding. Selena doesn't deserve him at all. "She's had several abortions already. Back in college, she loved sleeping around. No matter how much I warned her, she never listened. Now she's somehow found a decent guy to pick up the pieces for her."My heart lurched when I heard that. I looked up, and Charlie's smile had faded, replaced by a wary, suspicious look. It seemed Charlie could hear Mom's inner thoughts, too.His hand froze in midair as he was about to put the ring on my finger. The emcee sensed something was off and hurriedly urged him on, trying to keep things moving."Charlie?" I whispered urgently. "What are you doing? Everyone's wa
"Selena, I was wrong. Please help me talk to Mr. Dawn. I really don't want to get fired."David chased after us all the way downstairs, begging nonstop. We didn't even look back. Charlie started the car, and we drove off.Sitting in the car, I heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you showed up just now. Otherwise…""Don't be scared. As long as you need me, I'll be there. But your parents went too far today. You've basically blown things up with them. What are you going to do next?"Charlie wasn't wrong. Part of me wanted to cut them off forever, but I knew Mom too well. She would never stop stirring up trouble."I'll figure it out as I go," I said quietly.After I moved into the new place, my parents and David bombarded me with calls and messages. I blocked every single one of them.In my previous life, around this time, my legs had rotted beyond saving, and I died in that house. This time, I just wanted to live my life and enjoy each day.
