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…
I held my silence, not wanting to respond to my mom's statements.
"Eliana, you know, Jones is really good to you. Everyone around you can see it, and it's clear as day. With the way things are now, as long as he's willing to take you, that's all that matters. Got it?" Mom's tone turned stern, "You're a single mom with two kids, how are you going to live in the future? Your father and I won't always be here to help you."
She made it sound as if I should be grateful that Jones was willing to accept me – a divorced woman with kids.
I already had reservations about Jones. My mom's words, uttered without knowing the whole story, fueled a fire within me.
"Mom, I will not end up with Jones!" My anger surged, and my voice got noticeably louder, oblivious to the fact that Jones and others might hear me.
"Why are you suddenly so agitated? Speak calmly!" Mom tried to stop me, "Jones is having dinner right here. Aren't you afraid he'll hear?"
