One
My name was Madisyn Keller. Now, I sat on the chair, my palms sweating, my body trembling as I came to terms with the fact that I had been reborn.
And laid out before me was the beneficiary signature form for a life insurance policy.
"Madisyn, hurry up and sign it. The staff have been waiting here forever," my husband Kevan Simpson said impatiently, shooting me a displeased look.
His voice pulled me back to reality.
I took a deep breath, digging my nails into my palm, and glanced once more at the form before me.
The designated beneficiary was Kevan.
All that remained was for me to complete my signature.
At that moment, I felt a sudden surge of gratitude-fate had actually given me a second chance at this turning point in my life.
Because in my last life, less than a month after signing that form, I had been run over by a large truck.
At the time, clinging to life with my last ounce of strength, I saw my best friend, Lillian Chapman, and Kevan.
They dragged me into a car, and Lillian revealed that she and Kevan had already slept together, that my daughter had been killed and replaced because of them, and how they had plotted to make me sign that form so they could seize my family's assets.
They even confessed that the car accident had been arranged by the two of them.
All of it was for the immense wealth in my name and the huge payout from the life insurance policy.
After learning the truth, I was overwhelmed with emotions and died before even reaching the hospital.
My soul drifted in mid-air, forced to linger around them, witnessing it all.
Kevan doted on Lillian to the point of making me envious and jealous, while Lillian called me a fool in front of Kevan every day. Even "my daughter", who constantly despised and rejected me, was strangely close to Lillian.
Seeing the three of them living in harmony filled me with such bitterness that I wanted to become a vengeful spirit and tear them apart on the spot.
I never expected that after my soul was shattered to the point where I thought I'd vanish completely, I would open my eyes to find that I had been reborn!
I smiled.
In my past life, I was blind to the treachery of these two despicable people.
But this time, I would make sure they paid for their sins in blood.
Kevan, growing more impatient, urged again, "Madisyn, what are you smiling about? Just sign the form!"
I took a deep breath, suppressing the storm of emotions within me, and looked up at the staff before me. With a polite smile, I said, "I'm sorry, but I've decided not to sign. And you can keep the money I spent on the insurance."
