Chapter 1

"I'm going to marry her and make her Mrs. Gilbert."Sean Gilbert did not even blink before choosing my sister, Ruby Larson.Ruby shot me a smug look and then, with a triumphant smile, poured Sean a cup of coffee.Watching the two of them acting all weird, I knew they had to be like me, someone reborn with memories of another life.Ruby, playing coy after serving the coffee, turned to our parents."Mom, Dad, what's all this about?"Our mom and dad were smiling, grabbing Ruby's hand and then Sean's, hugging them close.Seeing that lovey-dovey family moment made me want to roll my eyes out of my head.Those two lovebirds had already made their secret vows. That whole act was just for show, but who were they trying to fool?I could not stand those time-wasting charades and was ready to bolt.Sean caught my eye and snapped, clearly annoyed."Sloane, you're not the only curse-breaker in town. Keep pestering me, and you'll regret it!"Someone as ugly and fat as you has no place in

Chapter 2

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

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

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

Chapter 5

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

"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

Chapter 7

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

Chapter 8

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
