A Love Reborn: Finding Romance Twice In One Lifetime
After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
CHAPTER 173: BLUEBIRD ISLAND
It was a wonderful morning, with birds chirping in the sky and the sounds of waves resonating throughout the island.
Docking by the pier were several ships, with flags waving left and right.
On board, the ships were men and women, dressed like pirates and all of them chatting happily as they carried boxes up and down.
Some of them were carrying the boxes from the ship and carrying them to the island, where other men and women dressed casually were busy arranging the boxes.
"Carry it over there! Are you starving? Why don't you have energy?"
"Seriously, Captain! Why are you being all loud today?"
"Don't ask such questions. Hurry up and carry everything!" the captain, a burly man with a beard and a fierce scar on his face, scolded the young man who was dragging his feet as he carried boxes from the ship.
The young man scowled at the captain as he hurriedly carried the boxes to the site where all the boxes were being carried.
