Chapter 3

Author: Official Ginger
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. Why do you have to steal her spotlight?"

I had not seen it coming. My wedding was not only on the same day as Ruby's, but in the exact same hotel.

"Don't kid yourself, it's my wedding day. Step aside."

Ruby's eyes blazed with envy at the sight of me in my designer dress, like she wanted to burn me up.

"Why do you always have to take what I want, ever since we were kids?

"You've already snatched the dress. Don't you dare go after Sean, too."

Ruby's accusation made the crowd gasp.

"Seriously? The Larson family's eldest daughter is that brazen?"

Then, my parents showed up and laid into me without missing a beat.

"Sloane, have you lost your mind? Just because we won't hand Mr. Gilbert's prestige to you, you decide to humiliate Ruby at her own wedding?"

My father, seeing my silence, delivered a sharp slap to my cheek.

"Sloane, how could you be so shameless?"

"What an embarrassment."

"Today, I'm here to get married, too. My ceremony is upstairs. I don't want to ruin my big day, so get out of my way."

The guests snickered at my words.

"Has the Larson family's eldest daughter lost her marbles? The second floor is for top VIPs only. Who does she think she is?"

My parents felt ridiculed, and so they vented their fury on me.

"Sloane, you've let us down big time. Get out of the Larson family, now!"

I let out an icy laugh.

"Nothing would please me more. I'd rather not be held back by the Larson family anyway."

Before anyone else could chime in, Ruby burst into tears.

"Sloane, we're both curse-breakers, capable of ending the Gilbert family's curse. Why are you doing this to me?"

Sean wrapped his arms around Ruby, pointing at me with a look of disgust.

"Sloane, are you saying all this just to get me to marry you? You don't even realize you're not in my league."

Just then, a deep voice echoed from the entrance.

"Sean, my woman is not someone you can even dream of touching."

The instant that man appeared, everyone in the room was shocked.

It was Sean's uncle, Keith.

Realizing that my groom was his uncle, Sean's composure shattered.

"Sloane, you're a wretched woman! You're done with me, and now you've moved on to my uncle? That's low."

I rolled my eyes at Sean and latched onto Keith's arm.

I could not wait to see Sean clucking around like a hen tonight.

Ruby could not handle my smugness and even bet that if she could fix Sean, I would have to hit the road and leave the city for good.

I shrugged Ruby's challenge off and headed upstairs.

Keith and I got all wrapped up in each other, lost in the moment.

Right after we had caught our breath, Ruby's text popped up.

[Sloane, the Larson fortune is mine now, and once your man turns into a hen, the Gilbert stash will be mine too. Ha!]

Ruby's taunt had barely buzzed my phone when a knock thundered on our door.

There was Sean, at the threshold, wailing like his world was ending.

"Sloane, you have to help me!"

    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. That cruel joke cursed your family."If Sean repents at that church for three days and three nights, the curse will lift, and he'll stay human for another three years."And if he can find someone to break the curse within those three years, he won't turn back into a monster."The Gilberts were suddenly crying tears of relief."There's hope! 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
