On the evening my husband's parents were abducted, he was preparing for a camping trip with his former girlfriend. I didn't attempt to prevent him from leaving—I simply contacted the authorities immediately.
In my previous existence, I had tried to keep my husband from departing, and he remained to assist in rescuing his parents. However, this meant he wasn't present to safeguard his ex-partner. She ended up being fatally attacked by wolves in the wilderness. It was horrific.
After that incident, he ceased communicating with me entirely. He only broke his silence when I was in the final stages of pregnancy. At that point, he forcibly took me to the mountains.
"If it weren't for your actions, Debbie would still be alive!" he yelled. "How can you continue living after what transpired, Denise? I want you to endure the same agony she experienced!"
That night, wild animals ravaged my body, claiming both my life and that of my unborn child.
But then I regained consciousness. I had returned to the day of my in-laws' abduction.
This time, my husband didn't participate in the rescue effort. Instead, he went to find his former love. However, upon his return, he was a changed man.

A Deadly Love Triangle Unravels

"Denise! Have you lost your mind? How dare you speak ill of your in-laws like that? I can't fathom your cruelty! They've done so much for you, and now you're abandoning them as you divorce their son?"


Debbie's voice was harsh, but I merely glanced at her before turning my attention to Anthony.


His face contorted with rage. "Denise, haven't you put on enough of a show tonight?" he growled.


I remained composed, looking directly into his eyes as I repeated my question, "Are you coming or not?"


That was the final straw. Anthony's anger erupted. He pushed me forcefully, shouting, "You've gone mad, Denise! If you're unwell, seek help and stop having breakdowns in front of me!"


I didn't fight back. What would it accomplish? He was mourning his parents, not me. How could I argue with someone who had just lost both parents?


"I've informed you," I stated calmly. "I'll adhere to the divorce agreement regarding asset division. We'll finalize the divorce at the Family Court in a week."
