I spent a significant part of my life in an unhappy marriage with Caspian.
In our final moments, we exchanged harsh words, vowing never to encounter each other in another lifetime.
He blamed me for tying him down with our marriage and children, claiming it cost him his dream of becoming a singer in New York.
I resented him for neglecting his ailing parents and our kids, leaving me to shoulder the burden while he enjoyed life outside.
In our shared resentment, we were given a second chance.
When our eyes met in a crowd, we turned away without a second thought.
This time, I hope we don't look back with regret.

Broken Promises Will Not Be Fulfilled

I signed a few new media influencers who hadn't become famous yet in the last life and planned their operations step by step.


Soon, their accounts started to gain traction.


With that came numerous ads, and I was busy juggling my studies and managing the company. I even brought my parents to live with me and bought them a house.


My parents were overjoyed, bragging to their friends about their successful daughter while also scrolling through short videos, looking for suitable influencers for me to sign.


One day, after finishing an exam, I rushed out of school to attend a company meeting when suddenly someone hugged me tightly, refusing to let go.


My gasp was swallowed by the familiarity of the voice. After forcefully pushing the person away, I realized it was Caspian.


Caspian wore an old leather jacket, with visible traces of cheap makeup on his face. His smile revealing yellow teeth was nauseating.
