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

"Anthony, do you think I despise you?" Anthony inquired.


"The mortuary reached out," I stated bluntly. "They mentioned you're interfering with their operations. Please leave."


He extended his hand, seemingly seeking assistance to stand. I didn't budge.


"The service is scheduled for two days from now. I've notified everyone. The grave site is prepared. Take a day to recuperate. You'll need your strength for tomorrow's cremation."


Looking up at me, he said, "Denise, can we reconsider the divorce?"


I couldn't suppress a laugh. He appeared hurt, but I was indifferent. It was darkly amusing.


"My feelings for you have changed, Anthony. I want to end our marriage."


He fell silent, slowly rising from the floor.


Upon returning home, I showered and retired to the guest room.


The following morning, law enforcement woke me with a call.


"Ma'am, there's been an incident. We need you at the station immediately."
