Chapter 2

Author: Official Ginger
When I heard my parents put me down without a second thought, I felt a sour twist in my heart.

Ever since I was little, everything that was supposed to be mine went to Ruby. My parents only had eyes for her.

When I stumbled upon Ruby's secret, they just figured I was out to hex her.

Any chance at a decent match, and they would be tripping over themselves to set Ruby up, never me.

They never really saw me as their daughter, so why should I bother thinking of them as my parents?

I bit my lip and called the number I had saved in my notes.

[I'll marry you, but you must agree to one condition.]

Maybe Sean was worried about losing his chance if he waited too long, so he and his parents met with Ruby today.

By nightfall, the whole city was buzzing with the news that Ruby was set to become the matriarch of the Gilbert family.

They were head over heels and had planned to tie the knot next week.

As fate would have it, that was the same week I was set to marry another guy, Keith Gilbert.

Keith, determined to give me the wedding of my dreams, kept me busy trying on a parade of bridal gowns.

I yawned, bored, as he gently kissed my hand.

"Sloane, I want to marry you. It's not just because you saved my life. It's because I love you. I want to give you the most spectacular wedding.

"Once we get through this busy time, I'll take you on a round-the-world tour. Just hang in there a bit longer, okay?"

Looking into Keith's loving eyes made my heart miss a beat.

In my previous life, he had asked me to marry him too, but back then, I was already promised to Sean.

The news of his tragic leap from a building filled me with sorrow.

However, there was no time to grieve. I had to save Ruby and shield my family from the Gilberts' fury.

'This time around, I won't get caught up in my parents' and Ruby's fate,' I thought, reminding myself.

With the wedding just three days away, he embraced me deeply and said he had to fly overseas to an auction to secure that one-of-a-kind diamond ring.

"Sloane, I've commissioned a top designer to create a wedding dress just for you. You're going to love it.

"I have to travel abroad to win that ring. A unique dress for a unique ring, and you'll be the most stunning bride."

Keith kissed my forehead. His departure for the plane was filled with reluctance.

The following day, driven by curiosity about the dress, I visited the upscale boutique. The staff had me try it on to ensure a perfect fit.

Dressed in a gown tailored just for me, I felt like a fairy.

"Sean, that dress she's wearing is gorgeous. I want one," a voice said, intruding on my fitting.

I spun around and found myself looking straight into Sean's eyes.

"Did you seriously think you could cause drama just because Ruby's here trying on wedding dresses?"

Ruby's eyes brimmed with tears as she clung to her mother, looking utterly heartbroken. "Mom, I bet she's just upset because she's not included in the wedding dress hunt. She's probably throwing a fit again."

Our parents exchanged a look of exasperation. "Sloane, you think you're too grown-up now, huh? You haven't been home in days, and now you're picking fights with your sister?

"Hand that wedding dress to Ruby right now, or we're disowning you!"

I was not about to let those guys spoil my mood, so I shot back. "If you're so eager to disown me, go ahead.

"The dress is mine, and there's no way I'm handing it to Ruby."

My mom was livid with my icy response, and without another word, she started hitting me. "Would it kill you to let your sister have what she wanted?"

I tried to fight back, but Sean pinned me down with an iron grip.

In no time, my mother's nails had scratched my face, and they stripped me of my wedding dress to drape it over Ruby.

"See? Only this dress is truly fit for my elegance," Ruby said, gloating.

I tried to call out to the store clerk, but my mom's hand struck my face once more. "Sloane, you don't deserve to even think about having Ruby's things."

My dad just stared at me with icy detachment. "Apologize to Ruby and get yourself home, or I swear I'll make you regret it."

Before I could even put up a fight, Sean's bodyguard hoisted me up and out of there.

Sean sneered from above, looking down on me. "Sloane, drop the act. You're just trying to get my attention.

"You're so hung up on me, huh? In two days, I'm marrying Ruby. I'll spend the first half of the night with her, and if you're so desperate, the second half with you."

After that, Sean tossed me a room key.

    The moment Brianna heard there was still a chance to save her son's life, she wept with overwhelming happiness."Sloane, you must help me save my son, no matter what it takes."Walter's eyes brimmed with tears, his voice thick with emotion. "Sloane, if you can save Sean, you can have the entire Gilbert fortune.""A century ago, an elder of the Gilbert family humiliated a woman at the church altar, mocking her for being childless, like a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

We'll go to church right away."Sean, though, was fuming."Sloane, you evil witch! You want me, a grown man, to beg for forgiveness at a church for three days? That's sick!"My l

    Sean's face was a picture of misery as he gazed at me with those puppy-dog eyes."Sloane, can we talk? Just the two of us?"I gave Keith's head a gentle pat and reassured him, saying, "Just hang outside for a sec. A quick chat won't hurt."Keith listened like a good boy. As soon as I asked, he left the room, though his figure seemed to carry a world of sadness.Once it was just Sean and me, he slumped over."Sloane, I'm so sorry. I was a terrible person in my previous life, treating my lifesaver so badly. I was the worst."Sloane, please, save me one more time. You're here today... You still have feelings for me, don't you?"I folded my arms and stared blankly at Sean."What makes you think I still care about you?"However, as I said that, Sean's eyes lit up with an even stronger glimmer of hope."Sloane, you've come back to life, too, right?"In our previous life, you were crazy about me. So this time around, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you?"I shook

    "Don't you dare mention that waste of space!"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be in this awful mess!"My father stood there, his face a mask of barely restrained fury."Yeah, Ruby's nothing but trash."Sloane, you're our favorite. Please, help us out."I could not help but feel nauseous at the Larsons' fake concern.In my previous life, they had hated me, convinced I had stolen Ruby's chance at a happy marriage.Then, in this life, they were eager to throw Ruby under the bus to get on my good side.Two lifetimes were enough for me to see through their act.They were the real trash, completely unfit to be parents."Sorry, but I'm not interested in tying myself to selfish people like you. Get out of my way."I brushed past them and strode into the Gilberts' house without giving them another glance.Inside, I was greeted by a mess of bloodied chicken feathers on the floor.Ruby, wrapped up in a full-body cast, sat beside Sean.Sean's skin was bumpy and raw, like plucked c

    Brianna was outside, her voice raw with desperation, begging Sean to open the door.Inside, Sean was losing it."Mom, I have feathers now, and I have chicken claws for feet! Ruby's turned me into a freak!"I can't face anyone ever again. Ruby's going to pay for this!"Ruby's screams from inside were getting scarier by the second."Please, oh, please! Somebody! Help me!"Bang!A heavy thump echoed from within, and Ruby fell silent.Walter was beside himself, terrified that his son might have done something terrible."Sean, don't panic. We're the Gilberts. We've got more money than we know what to do with. I'll fix this. I promise I'll get you back to normal."Behind the door, Sean was sobbing uncontrollably."Dad, my hands are chicken wings now. What am I going to do?""Sean, it's okay. Look at your uncle. He's fine, right?"We'll ask Sloane for help. She must have a way to reverse this!"I was only a bystander enjoying the drama when, suddenly, I was dragged into it. I st

    Meanwhile, the hall outside was echoing with shrieks."My gods! Mr. Gilbert! Why are you sprouting feathers?"The partygoers in the hall were staring at Sean's freaky new look, their faces ghostly white.My bodyguards kept my door sealed, keeping Sean's freaky self out.However, I was dying to know what kind of monster Sean would turn into under Ruby's influence."Stop staring! I'm the Gilbert family's pride and joy. I'm not going down like this!"Sean's screams filled the air as he slinked away into the shadows.As I zipped my attire, Keith held me tight, like he never wanted to let go."Sweetheart, I can feel the crazy curse in my veins fading away. Thanks for saving me from turning into some kind of freak," he whispered.I gently ruffled his hair."You know, I've seen the hen curse come true once."Keith gave me a puzzled look.In my previous life, I would have laughed at the idea of a man turning into a hen.However, after I died, as my spirit was drifting away, I caug

    I did not even hesitate; I spat right in his face."Sean, you're the worst."Instead of getting mad, he just cracked a twisted smile, yanked my hair, and hissed at me."Sloane, it looks like you're asking for trouble instead of playing nice."Then, he kicked me to the side and walked off like he owned the place.I was shaking with rage, just dying to watch payback come for Sean and knock him down a peg.If he made a fool of himself before the wedding was over, the Gilberts would never let my family off the hook, especially not my parents and little sister.Before I knew it, the big day had arrived.Stepping into the spotlight in a drop-dead gorgeous wedding gown, I watched as my family's jaws hit the floor.Sean was floored by my look, but he could not hide his nasty streak."Sloane, today's supposed to be Ruby's day.
