The Prince’s Lottery Bride
The Sutton heir was using a wheel of fortune to pick a wife.
In my last life, the wheel landed on me. On my wedding day, the woman he had loved his whole life threw herself off a cliff into the sea.
That was when I learned. Fifteen years of him chasing me had been about getting her to look back at him. There were thirty-six other names on that wheel. All of them were there to push her into a corner.
After she went, he came apart. "I only wanted to make you jealous. Why would you leave me like this?"
He blamed all of it on me. He took apart what was left of my body with his own hands.
In my last minutes I saw her come back, untouched, and tell him it had only been a test.
They held each other and kissed. I went into a jar nobody noticed.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the day of the wheel.
