CHAPTER 2: CHAPTER 2: PAIN

"I..." Sienna Quinn knew Landon Lawson didn’t love her, and she knew he married her only to fulfill Grandpa Lawson’s dying wish. Even so, she resolutely married him. She was easily satisfied; being by his side was her life’s pursuit.

Sadly, their already fragile marriage had become a mere shell a year ago. Vera Yates was hit by a car and almost lost her life, lying in the hospital for an entire year, leading to kidney failure. Everyone thought that Vera’s accident was caused by her.

No one believed her when she said she feared Vera’s death would devastate Landon, and would make him go mad, so she threw herself out to save Vera’s life.

"Hahaha." Sienna laughed despairingly, tilting her head back as tears fell, soaking the white pillow.

This is the man she’s loved for over a decade!

She gave up everything, just wanting to be by his side, to become his pride. Yet he only ever wished for her death!

Despair slowly devoured her beliefs and pursuits over the years, dragging her into an even deeper abyss.

Hatred slowly spread from the depths of her heart.

She wanted to reach out and touch her belly, but her hands were tightly tied to the bed, she couldn’t move at all.

Baby, I’m sorry, mommy failed you, mommy is powerless to bring you safely into this world.

Two months, her child was only two months old, like her first child, not yet formed, but would die with her.

Regret, deep regret!

"Begin." Following Miles Grant’s order, a tearing pain quickly enveloped Sienna’s body.

"You, you will face retribution!" Sienna shouted with all her strength, saying her final words before slowly losing consciousness.

The greatest regret of her life was saving Vera Yates, followed by falling for a man she shouldn’t have loved.

If there is another life, Landon Lawson, I wish to seize everything you love!

...

Sienna was woken by the pain.

The intense pain between her legs made her eyes fly open.

The first thing she did was place her hand on her abdomen to check whether her child was still there.

The flat belly made her heart skip a beat.

She survived, but the child was gone?

Tears had not yet come when she turned her head to see the colorful balloons on the wall and the wedding photo propped up beside the bed, and her wide eyes froze.

This was the wedding room where she and Landon held their ceremony five years ago. She lived here for a year before moving out upon discovering Vera and Landon’s twisted relationship.

Why was she here? Why was everything exactly as it was when she got married?

What on earth is happening?

She lifted the quilt to get out of bed, and upon seeing the bright red stain on the muddied sheets, she finally understood.

Indeed, she had been reborn, reborn to five years ago.

Yesterday, they registered their marriage for the first time, Landon drank spiked wine and forcibly had relations with her.

He believed she was the one who drugged him, and hated her to the core.

"Sienna, who gave you the guts to drug me!"

"So eager for me to do you, fine! I will fulfill your wish."

"Does it hurt?"

"Serves you right!"

"Clean it up thoroughly."

...

His cold, angry, and resolute voice echoed in her mind, Sienna gripped the sheets tightly with her hands, her pale lips bitten bloody red.

Yes, she deserved it.

She shouldn’t have fallen in love with him, shouldn’t have bravely married him.

Especially shouldn’t have donated her kidney to Vera Yates.

But, now that she’s back to five years ago, there’s still time.

The child...

She became pregnant for the first time because of that night, at that time she was overjoyed, thinking he would change for her because of the child, but unexpectedly, due to his distrust, she fell down the stairs and miscarried.

The second pregnancy was five years later.

That time, he maliciously allowed someone to take her and the child’s life.

Since she’s been reborn, why didn’t she go back to six years ago, ten years ago, why not before she met him, or before Grandpa Lawson passed away...

Even to just yesterday morning before they registered their marriage, that would be better!

The tearing pain between her legs nearly made her lose her balance, she stumbled to the wardrobe, pulled out a random set of clothes and hurriedly put them on, washed up in a panic before running out the villa’s gate.
