In my previous life, I was merely a supporting character, highlighting Damon’s deep love for another woman. Tragically, my story unfolded with devastating consequences, leaving my family in ruins and my life shattered. Upon my rebirth, I chose to adopt a carefree attitude, ignoring the situation and waiting for Damon to ask for a divorce. But something peculiar happened. The man who used to disappear for weeks suddenly started showing up every few days. “Do you think there will come a time when you’ll want me to disappear?” I queried. “Do not indulge in fantasies.” he retorted, “We’ll continue to torment each other until the end.” I sighed, as a reincarnated soul, confident that his destined soulmate would soon cross his path. Finally, he encountered her, and I believed freedom was within my grasp. Yet, he quietly…
"Quit pretending." I outed Damon, "I'm just a bit puzzled why you're doing this."
Damon responded calmly, "I just don't want you to waste any more time."
"Alright then," I didn't press the issue.
If Damon admitted he was doing this on purpose, I wouldn't know how to react.
On our way back, Damon's phone rang, it was a call from Catherine.
He didn't use a headset, he answered directly, so I could hear their conversation clearly.
"Damon, are you at Mitch's place?" Catherine's voice was soft.
"Uh-huh, what's up?" There was something about Damon's demeanor that always seemed off to me.
Sometimes it seemed like he was really in love with Catherine, yet his tone always felt distant. Sometimes I thought he was with Catherine out of a sense of duty, but then there were times when I caught the way he looked at her, and it was unlike how he looked at other people.
It was all too confusing.
