On our third anniversary, I woke up back in my previous life. The candlelight flickered as my husband, Franklin Grant, brought a piece of M9 wagyu beef to my lips. His eyes were so full of love that they almost melted me. "Hazel, try this. I made it especially for you," he said. But at the same time, his venomous thoughts burrowed into my eardrums like maggots. ''Go on, eat up, my sweet wife. This is the last time you'll ever taste something this good. ''That old dog still won't die. Such a nuisance. I'll take care of it tonight. I can't have it messing up my son moving in. ''Once I get the Weston family's fortune, I'll send you, the sickly one, straight down to join your dog.' My stomach churned. I nearly threw up right there. In my previous life, on this exact day, my golden retriever, Goldie, died in a car accident. I was devastated. I was already frail, and my health went downhill fast. I didn't even make it half a year before I died. After I was gone, Franklin took every cent of my family's fortune. Then he made a big show of marrying the woman who was always his dream and brought their six-year-old son into our house. Turned out, none of it was an accident. I invited the wolf into my own house. I handed the knife to the monster myself. My heart felt like someone had grabbed it with a fist. The pain was so sharp that I could barely breathe. I swallowed the overwhelming hatred. Then I looked up and gave him a pale, needy smile. "Franklin, you're so sweet." ''Sweet? You idiot. You have no idea how 'sweet' I can be.' I dropped my gaze so he wouldn't see the murderous intent swirling in my eyes. Franklin, in this life, I'll show you how "sweet" I really am.
