Karma

An unserem Hochzeitstag ließ mein Freund Hayden Grant mich aus der Kapelle hinauswerfen. Stattdessen schritt er Hand in Hand mit seiner Jugendliebe zum Altar. Ich ging zurück hinein und brach am Rand des Mittelgangs zusammen. Der Brautstrauß glitt mir aus den Händen, die Blütenblätter verteilten sich überall. Doch sein Blick streifte mich nicht einmal für eine halbe Sekunde. „Selenas Kind braucht einen Vater. Sobald das erledigt ist, heirate ich dich.“ Alle dachten, ich sei eine verblendete Närrin und würde bereitwillig noch einen Monat warten. Schließlich hatte ich bereits sieben Jahre auf ihn gewartet. Doch in dieser Nacht tat ich etwas, das niemand erwartet hatte. Ich stimmte der arrangierten Ehe zu, die meine Eltern vorgeschlagen hatten, und verließ das Land. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich zurück, um meine Eltern zu besuchen. Mein Ehemann William Fields war CEO eines internationalen Konzerns. Als ein unerwartetes, wichtiges Meeting anstand, bat er mich, schon mal zur Firmenniederlassung in meiner Heimat vorauszufliegen. Dort würden sich seine Untergebenen um mich kümmern. Zu meiner Überraschung war einer dieser Untergebenen Hayden – der Mann, den ich seit drei Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hatte. Sein Blick wanderte sofort zu dem funkelnden Diamanten an meinem Ringfinger. „Ist das eine Fälschung von diesem rosa Diamanten, den Herr Fields für fünf Millionen Euro für seine Frau gekauft hat? Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass du nach all den Jahren so eitel geworden bist.“ „Du hast schon genug Drama gemacht. Komm nach Hause. Selenas Sohn geht jetzt zur Schule, also ist es der perfekte Zeitpunkt, dass du dich um sein Mittagessen kümmerst.“ Ich sagte kein Wort und strich nur mit den Fingerspitzen über den Ring. Er hatte keine Ahnung, dass dies der günstigste aller Edelsteine war, die William mir je geschenkt hatte.

After being reborn, the first thing I did was switch my newborn daughter. In my previous life, soon after she was born, a blood test showed her type was AB. But mine was B, and my husband's was O—there was absolutely no way we could have an AB-type child. My husband flew into a rage and demanded a paternity test on the spot. To everyone's shock, the results proved she was biologically related to me, but not to him. He slapped me hard across the face, his voice trembling with disappointment. "I've always treated you well. I only ever loved you—and this is how you repay me?" My mother-in-law wailed and cursed me for cheating, accusing me of bearing another man's child to steal their family fortune. I was completely stunned. I knew better than anyone who the father of my child was—how could she possibly not be my husband's? In no time, everyone turned against me. They called me a cheater, a tramp. My husband divorced me and went online to play the victim, stirring up a storm of hate and harassment that never seemed to end. With nowhere to go and no one left to believe me, I took my baby in my arms and jumped from a building. Even in death, I couldn't make sense of it all. And when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my daughter was born.

My secretary replaced me on my wedding day, walking down the aisle in a white wedding gown. The man I had loved for ten years threw the bridesmaid dress in my face and ordered me to wear it instead. "She is the bride now. You'll be next," he said coldly. My grandmother was so furious that she fell ill on the spot. Meanwhile, he and the secretary smiled brightly as they completed the wedding ceremony. After the grand wedding, the secretary posted photos of herself in her wedding gown on social media. The comments were overwhelmingly congratulatory. [Today is such a beautiful day, I finally got what I wanted. I hope those who try to ruin someone else's relationship will wake up soon.] She wrote. Chester Morrison replied to her post: [It is a great day. Don't ruin your good mood by some trash.] When I returned home, holding my grandmother's photo, who had passed away, I found them tangled together on the bedspread my grandmother had lovingly sewn for me, the one with a pair of Swan that symbolizes eternal love.

Grant, the heir to the Bennett family, had been my protector for over a decade. He taught me how to fire my first shot and saved me from every attempt on my life. After someone slipped drugs into Grant's drink at the family gathering, he stumbled into my room, and his icy control shattered. His hands found my waist as he pulled me close, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered my name. A single night of drugged passion left me pregnant with his child. When my twin sister, Claire, found out, she left a note and disappeared, heartbroken. After that, I was cast as the cold-hearted villain who drove her own sister away. Grant personally forced the contraceptive potion down my throat and exiled me to the lawless territories beyond our family's control. To make me atone, he abandoned me to fend for myself in that desolate land. I was eventually killed in the crossfire of a mob war. As I lay dying, my mind was flooded with memories of Grant. The troublemaker he always called me was finally gone. He must have been relieved. When I next opened my eyes, I had returned to the morning after that disastrous night. This time, without hesitation, I drank the contraceptive potion myself.

My adopted sister, Rebecca Lawson, steals the gift I painstakingly prepared for the Don and presents it at a family gathering. Everyone in the room is stunned. So, my parents turned what was supposed to be my engagement party into a celebration banquet for Rebecca. They sit together and raise their champagne glasses to toast her, while I collapse alone in the bathroom, hitting my head and bleeding out. After regaining some consciousness, I use all my strength to call them for help, but only the mafia's consigliere and my fiance—Yves Gilbert—answers my calls. "Tessa, why didn't you come to Rebecca's celebration? She felt hurt by your absence! I know you've always been jealous that she could easily gain everyone's affection, but it's what she deserves. "Quickly come over and apologize to Rebecca. Don't disappoint us any further." Yves hangs up the phone after saying that. I stare at the darkened phone screen with an unsightly smile. They don't know that the gift I have prepared for the Don is still a half-finished product and needs to be repaired. However, I don't have the time to tell them. Because I am about to die of illness.
