After Rebirth, Our Love Ends Here
On the way home for the holidays, my wife, Sophie Hartman, and I were caught in a terrible accident.
When I opened my eyes again, we had both gone back in time to before we ever fell in love.
In our previous life, we'd been married for seven years. We were polite, respectful, and distant, almost like guests sharing the same house. And all those years, she never once agreed to have a child with me.
It wasn't until later that I learned the truth. Sophie had never let go of the man she once loved.
This time, I chose to set her free.
We quietly deleted each other's WhatsApp contacts, kept our distance, and walked separate paths in life.
…
Seven years later, she became one of the most successful traders. At a class reunion, she announced her relationship with Vincent Parker, the man she had never forgotten.
When she saw that I was still single, she couldn't resist teasing me. "Lucas, I know I've always been the one you love most, the one you're proudest of, but you don't have to spend your life waiting for me."
I didn't respond. I simply took my son's hand.
Sophie's face went pale. Her eyes reddened as she demanded, "You said you'd love me for life, that you'd only ever have children with me!"
