I never loved you. I married you for Nexus. The papers you signed without reading? All mine now. You're useless so die." Black spots swallowed the room. I cursed him with my last breath. Before I gave. I woke up gasping in my old apartment. One year earlier. The day before our wedding. Every memory intact. This time I walked down the aisle anyway. I recorded him burying himself in my sister on our wedding night. I froze every share of Nexus under my name alone. I moved the money where he could never touch it.
