Frank looked vibrant and healthy, sitting by my bedside to tenderly remind me to rest early, for tomorrow would be a busy day. He also advised me to be less willful and cautious in my future life after the wedding.
This scene was eerily familiar.
I reached for my phone to check the date. As I expected, it was the day before my marriage to John.
In my past life, I had been joyously preparing for my wedding the next day. The groom, whom I had loved since college, and the bridesmaid, my childhood friend, filled me with anticipation for the life ahead.
After reassuring Frank and sending him off to rest, I returned to my room to ponder my current predicament.
From what I had overheard before my demise, John and Sherry had been in a relationship even before my marriage with John, and they even had a child together. My illness and eventual death were all meticulously designed by them solely to inherit my family's wealth. And why did Frank remind me of these words? He had always been against my marriage to John. Could it be that he had seen through them all along?
Since fate had granted me a second chance, I must seize it and make that evil couple taste the bitterness I had endured.
