When I was reborn, Horace was pressing me down on the bed. His phone rang with a piercing ringtone, interrupting him from undressing me. After seeing the caller ID, the desire in his eyes instantly disappeared. Throwing a random bath towel on my body, he said, "Leave. My new girlfriend doesn't like it when I smell like someone else." Without another word, I got dressed and left without any complaint. In my past life, I wasn't willing to leave, and clung onto him, throwing away all my dignity, and I even became crippled after saving him during a car accident. As I wished, I became his wife, only because he said, "Let's have a baby. Then, even if I was no longer around, our child would be able to take care of you." I endured several life-threatening medical crises during my pregnancy, but then I overheard him talking to Vivian, "Vivi, you'll be saved once the kid is born." "But that's you and Rose's child, isn't it? Wouldn't she get mad if she knew?" Horace's voice was ice-cold. "I only let her live because she could still give birth. Did she think that I'd fall for a cripple?" In my anger, I pulled out my oxygen tube, and both I and my baby died. Now that I was reborn, I would never walk the same path once more.

Tale of Two Lives Chapter 10
By the time I heard news of Horace and Vivian again, a year had passed.After Vivian was expelled, she became a disgrace to her family. Her grandparents, thinking of her as an embarrassment, ended up marrying her off to an old man in the village.Apparently, that man was impotent, so he found pleasure in tormenting her in bed in other ways.Later on, in order to carry on his family line, he even forced his younger brother on Vivian.Vivian tried to escape multiple times, but she was always brought back to him each and every time, even if she fled to her grandparents.Her grandparents said, "What woman hasn't experienced this sort of thing? You're the one who was a disgrace who couldn't even finish university, so what can you do other than give birth?"One rainy night, Vivian finally managed to flee, and ended up going to Horace."Horace, save me! I don't want to go back to that hellish place. They're treating me as nothing more than a baby-making machine! I'll die there!"Horac
Tale of Two Lives Chapter 9
With only half a month left before the start of the term, I panicked, not knowing what to do. Even though my father's case had passed the 20-year statute of limitations and didn't actually affect me, the visa officers preferred to avoid trouble rather than deal with it.I sat in my rented apartment, watching time slip away bit by bit.Suddenly, a knock came from my door.It was Horace, who I hadn't seen in almost half a month. He seemed to have become thinner, more weathered."Vivian got you in trouble, right? I can…"He hadn't finished, before Carl' voice came from the kitchen."I asked around, and all you need is a letter of proof from the school that you're trustworthy, and everything's going to be fixed!"Horace's expression twisted. "Why is he here? Are you really that desperate for a man that you can't even leave without sleeping with one first?"The sound of flesh hitting flesh was heard as Carl's fist connected with Horace's face without any mercy. "Watch your mouth!
Tale of Two Lives Chapter 8
The academy reinstated my recommendation spot, and I went about preparing to go abroad with peace of mind.Occasionally, I'd go back and visit Horace's parents. They were worried about letting me go overseas by myself, and wanted to arrange for someone to accompany me.I didn't know how to refuse, so I went to find Carl.His face flushed the moment he heard my request—red creeping up from his neck all the way to the tips of his ears.I hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean it that way. They're just worried that I'll get into trouble by myself, so I'm asking you to help give them some peace of mind. It's just to reassure them!'I wasn't sure if I was imagining it, but my explanation seemed to make the redness on his face fade."Alright, I'll help you."When I brought Carl back with me, I unexpectedly ran into Horace, who hadn't been home in a while. The moment he saw me holding Carl's hand, his expression darkened.Pretending not to notice, I said, "Mr. and Mrs. Newton, this is my
Tale of Two Lives Chapter 7
Horace didn't deny it, only staring straight at me and waiting for an answer.I looked at him in surprise, and all my questions were answered at that moment.There was no wonder why he didn't force me to go with him to the hospital the night Vivian had an allergic reaction. On top of that, he didn't even go to the private hospital that he frequented, either.He was afraid of getting in an accident like we did in our past lives.But if he already knew how things were going to go, why was he questioning me like this?I was beyond confused.Seeing me stand there in silence, he started stepping closer to me, each step piling on the oppression he already had because of our difference in stature.I had nowhere to run, cornered against the wall behind me, so I could only ask, "Since you hate me so much, why won't you let me go?"He struggled to form an answer for a bit, before ending up averting his gaze. "I don't hate you. Besides, I already said that I'd deal with this, so won't you

I couldn't comprehend what this man was thinking.He didn't like me, so I left. He hated that my existence affected his relationship with Vivian, so I disappeared without a trace. Was this not what he wanted?"Horace—""You're not allowed to go overseas with that man!" He shouted, veins bulging o

In my past life, I had gone to the hospital with them.On the way there, a fatigued truck driver rammed straight into the ambulance, and I shielded Horace with my body, taking most of the impact and ending up becoming disabled as a result.Horace's parents were so moved by my sacrifice that they f
Tale of Two Lives Chapter 2
Horace yanked away the study materials from my hand roughly before leaving with VIvian's hand in his.They ended up going to the backyard garden, which was right in view from my window, so I had a perfect view of them reading books together.That evening, Agnes, the nanny, told me to go downstairs
Tale of Two Lives Chapter 1
Seeing me turn to leave without the slightest hint of reluctance, Horace paused in the middle of getting dressed.Probably thinking that I was playing hard to get, he stared at me mockingly. "Are you throwing a tantrum now?"Under the dim lights, I replied grimly, "Weren't you the one who asked me
