Synopsis
When my family arranged a marriage for me, I stunned everyone by agreeing without protest. That wasn’t who I used to be.
Simon Hayes, my boyfriend of five years, flooded my phone with calls, begging for one last chance to see me. Even my mom tried to persuade me gently. “Sweetheart, what’s the harm in meeting him just once?”
I didn’t waver. “Sebastian is the only one I want. I’m marrying him.”
What they didn’t know was that I had already lived through the consequences of choosing differently.
In my previous life, I ran away with Simon, sacrificing everything to prove my love. In the end, he called me filthy and turned his heart toward a wide-eyed girl who played innocent far better than I ever could. Seven months pregnant with his child, I was abandoned on the side of a highway because his new girlfriend wanted me out of the picture.
A speeding truck made sure I never came back.
This time, I refuse to repeat the same mistake.
