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 252: HE DOESN’T DESERVE HER!
She knew that this was something that she couldn't get involved with, but her heart ached. Unfortunately, when it comes to matters of the heart, only the people involved know best.
"He should run around like a dog and earn her trust."
"But what if he does so and then leave her again?"
"He dares?" Madam Fischer bellowed angrily, startling the person who had just asked.
Hayes shrugged as if he wasn't concerned with his mother's outburst and said, "Men are unpredictable. You should know. Anyway, I guess that we will see where it goes."
He was a man and understood men at least better than women. He had befriended Orson, and they could be considered close, but not to the extent of sharing everything.
He could see that Orson had feelings for Calista, and they were genuine. But what about his responsibilities and duties?
Won't he ditch her again for those responsibilities again?
