The first thing I did after waking up in my second life was ask my husband for a divorce. On our daughter’s fifth birthday. I did it knowing full well that he was destined to become a high-ranking, fast-tracked military officer. My husband, Daniel, couldn't fathom it. "Why? Just because I suggested you quit your job at the textile mill to help Mara watch the boys?" "Wouldn't it be easier if you just stayed home to help Mara instead of working?" I didn't answer. I just lunged forward and yanked Noah and Owen off Lily's back. Daniel barely glanced at them, waving it off. "Over this? They're just playing. Lily's the older sister. What's the big deal if she lets Noah and Owen have their way?" In my past life, he said the exact same thing. I believed him. I swallowed my pride and endured it. But all that waiting only led to a DNA test proving Noah and Owen were Daniel’s biological sons—and the devastating news that my little Lily had burned to death in a fire. This time, I wasn't going to be a fool. "I'm dead serious, Daniel. This marriage is over."
