A Pig for a Groom, A Cousin in Tears
Perfect Timing
The very first thing I do after I come back to life is find a pig and get married to it.
In my past life, I was on the brink of getting engaged to my lover of ten years, Anthony Warner, who was a regimental colonel. In order to celebrate my engagement, Hannah Larson, my cousin, gave me a bracelet, and since it was a thoughtful gift from her, I wore it all the time.
Yet, on our engagement day, Anthony didn't just call off our engagement, but he also berated me, calling me a tramp and a homewrecker who destroyed his relationship with Hannah.
I was completely at a loss and tried to defend myself, but Hannah suddenly stepped forward and burst out crying. "I know my family and educational background surpass yours, but you can't just ruin my relationship with Anthony out of jealousy, Natalie! Anthony and I have already made a lifelong commitment to each other, so please just let it go!"
Anthony turned and led Hannah away. They then got engaged shortly afterward.
I was left standing there, becoming the subject of gossip from my relatives. They called me a shameless home-wrecker, and their scorn extended to my parents, who were shamed for raising such a child.
They eventually took their own lives from all the rumors, and I couldn't bear the pain of losing them, so I ended myself, too.
I suddenly open my eyes and find myself returning to the day Hannah presents me with the bracelet.
