Through the gap in the curtains, I saw the villa garden. The sounds of laughter floated in the night air, mingling with the clinking of glasses. My husband, Chris, was there and Jennifer was perched on his lap, her arms draped around his neck in an intimate embrace. She sipped from a wine glass, then passed it to Chris with a suggestive kiss.
The sight was a visceral reminder of their betrayal. I lowered the curtains and Jennifer’s voice drifted through, a cruel whisper in the night.
"The yellow-faced woman won’t wake up tonight, Chris. Where should we choose the location?"
"The rooftop," Chris responded, his tone filled with a chilling determination.
The realization struck me with a cold clarity. The roof was where their plans would come to fruition. I had been given a second chance and this time, I would not let them succeed.
Having faced the abyss of both life and death, my heart had hardened into an unyielding fortress. The pain of betrayal, coupled with the loss of my daughter, had steeled my resolve. The memories of their treachery were vivid and raw, but now, with the opportunity of rebirth, I would exact the justice they so richly deserved.
I quietly left the villa, a sense of grim determination guiding my steps as I headed straight for the lottery shop. Each step was a calculated move towards reclaiming my destiny. The numbers that had once been a source of despair now represented my chance for redemption.
The memories of the past life churned like a storm within me. I recalled Chris’s duplicitous nature—how he had concealed every detail, including his daily lottery purchases. The night of his 100 million win was a nightmare that I had lived through once before. Chris and Jennifer, in their vile conspiracy, had arranged for a group of men to invade my bedroom while I slept, subjecting me to grotesque humiliation. Their cruelty knew no bounds.
The following day, Chris confronted me with fabricated evidence of my supposed infidelities, using it as a weapon to accuse me of tarnishing his reputation. His anger was a mask for the deeper betrayal, while Jennifer’s phony tears and pleas for forgiveness only further revealed her duplicity. The divorce was swift and merciless, leaving me homeless and stripped of my rights to my daughter.
