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 53: ACCEPT ME AS I AM
Calista was indeed very happy.
She had been on tenterhooks these past three days, anxious and suspicious that she might close her eyes only to find him gone.
She didn't know how and when it started, but one thing was certain, without her knowing she had fallen for him.
She didn't know who he was and where he came from, and yet she felt so possessive she didn't want him to leave her.
So, despite her confessing and revealing her former marriage; she understood that it might be a big blow to many men. While men found it easy to marry maidens after getting widowed, it wasn't easy for women, actually.
If widows managed to get remarried, it was mostly with other widows or even becoming concubines of lesser ranks.
She had never heard of any widow remarrying a man who had never had a family before. It was quite rare. Besides, no parents would want to accept such a daughter-in-law.
