My older sister, Candice Channing, was a doctor who was an expert at treating infertility patients.
She was always telling me how worried she was about me marrying a man who was not great in bed, which would be equivalent to me marrying into a life of being a widow.
That was why she would always seduce every boyfriend I had.
After sleeping with them, she would approach me by showing off the love marks on her body.
"I've tried him out for you. He's not a considerate lover and refused to let me go even after I told him 'No'. This isn't a man you would want."
I broke down every time she did this.
After that, I cut ties with her and left for another place.
That was when I met Russell Loft, the youngest Captain in the army who was stationed there locally. He was a mature and good-looking man.
On the day of our wedding, we arranged a banquet for our guests, and that was when I spotted Candice among the crowd.
Candice was now Russell's personal doctor, and she was at the wedding as a guest.
"My dear sister, I can't help but worry about the man you're about to marry. Let me try him out for you."
She drugged me unconscious and climbed into bed with Russell in the dark.
When I woke up and barged into the room with others, my actions caused a commotion among our colleagues.
Candice was treated as a third party who destroyed my marriage and was taken away on the spot.
When my son turned one, Russell told me he wanted to surprise me, but he took me to an abandoned minefield instead.
The moment I stepped on an active mine, I knelt on the ground, begging him to take our son to safety, but Russell looked at me coldly and said, "All Candice wanted before the wedding was to leave me with a memory of her first time in bed with me, but you got her arrested, and she ended up being raped to death by the people in the detention center. She was pregnant with my baby when she died. You and that b*stard child of yours should pay for their lives."
That was when I found out that he had fallen for Candice.
My son and I died in the explosion, and our bodies were blown to smithereens without leaving behind a intact corpse.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of my wedding, where Candice appeared as our guest.
Chapter 1
I held my cheek in daze for a long time after I was slapped on the face. That was when I realized I had returned to the day I got married. My head was hurting intensely, and the first thing I saw was the savage look on my mother-in-law's face, and the coquettish smile on Candice Channing's face.
The same thing happened in my past life when Candice instigated my mother-in-law using a fake premarital health screening report, and almost ruined my reputation and wedding. My mother-in-law started accusing me, "You shameless little sl*t! I'll beat you to death!"
Candice pretended to talk her down, "Miss Channing might have contracted several STDs, but what if she caught them by accident? She could have been infected by using unsanitary towels, for example…"
My mother-in-law continued angrily, "Stop giving excuses for her! Didn't the report state that she had dozens of abortions? Could that be by accident?!"
Relatives who had come to congratulate us heard everything, and they looked at me with disdain and disgust.
"My gosh! Can you believe it? Russell's department required a premarital health screening, and his fiancée was exposed as a promiscuous woman!"
"Fortunately, his personal doctor caught this in time. Otherwise, he would have married a dirty woman!"
I was filled with despair at this point in my past life, and I lunged at Candice while crying, grabbing her clothes. "Why must you frame me like this? Why are you destroying my happiness?!"
Our arguing had caught the attention of Russell and his superior, and Candice jumped into Russell's arms, looking upset. "Captain Loft, I came over to deliver the results of your premarital health screening and played a joke on her because she looked so nervous. I didn't expect your wife to get so worked up over this and attack me!"
I cried as I tried to explain to Russell how Candice was making up stories about me contracting STDs to break us up and destroy the happiness that I had finally found.
Chapter 2
All Candice did was blink and say with an aggrieved expression, "I didn't say anything. All I said was that you caught a minor case of the flu. You must have heard me wrong and misunderstood. Besides, we don't know each other. Why would I want to destroy your happiness? All I want is for Russell to be happy!"
I tried to get my mother-in-law and those relatives to bear witness for me, but Russell stopped me with indifference. "Stop making a scene, Annie! It was just a joke. Candice is our personal doctor, and if you continue making a fuss, you'll only embarrass us!"
All I could do was stare at his superior, whose expression had darkened, and a helpless-looking Russell with reddened eyes. In the end, I decided to take this all in stride for the sake of his dignity and future. However, I refused to do the same in my current life.
I pushed my mother-in-law away and slapped Candice so hard that she fell to the ground, looking at me in shock. Her screams grabbed everyone's attention and, just like in my past life, Russell led his superior quickly over to where we were.
Candice's eyes turned red as she quickly got up from the ground to jump into Russell's arms, but I took off the wedding veil from my head before she could do so and slammed it to the ground. "Russell Loft, if your wedding gift to me is a fake premarital health screening report, you can consider this marriage canceled!"
Russell looked at me in shock. "What are you talking about, Annie? What fake premarital health screening report?" He frowned while looking at Candice, but continued speaking nicely, "What's going on? Tell us what happened. Is this a misunderstanding? Just apologize if this was a mistake, but if this is Annie's fault… You don't need to worry. I'll make her apologize to you."
Candice's eyes filled with tears, but before she could say anything, I interrupted her with a cold laugh by saying to their superior, "Sir, I have no idea how your department trains doctors. Are they allowed to make jokes like this by publicly announcing their patient has some sort of disease? If this has been approved by your department or by Russell, I don't think I want to marry a man who disrespects me."
With that, I flung my bouquet to the ground and turned to leave.
"Annie!" Russell quickly caught up to me and grabbed my hand, looking anxious. "I had no idea she would play such a joke on you. She… She's just being mischievous and doesn't know when to hold back. I apologize on her behalf, but you can't just say something so irresponsible without thinking and walk away from this wedding! You know that two department superiors are here today to congratulate us, and if you decide to make a fuss at a moment like this, it would…"
I sneered inwardly. Russell was the youngest captain in his department, and if things worked out for him this year, he would get a promotion. Being happily married and acting loving to his wife would help him with the promotion, and even if Candice was the woman he truly loved, he would never allow her to destroy his image in front of his superiors.
Back in my past life, I loved Russell and could not bear to see him in this dilemma, which was why I tolerated Candice's behavior, but all it left for me in this life was hate. I no longer felt guilty about using his weakness to take revenge for my past life.
I turned coldly to Russell and said, "Fine. I'll continue with the wedding, but I need to see how sincere you are about it." I looked straight at Candice and sounded upset while I spoke, "Weddings are supposed to be a happy occasion, but she claimed that I contracted dirty diseases on my happy day. That's the same as wishing someone else bad luck. Even my enemy wouldn't do something horrible like this.
Chapter 3
"What Candice Channing did crossed the line!" I touched my burning cheek where my mother-in-law had slapped me, and tears fell from my eyes. "Your mother misunderstood me because of her and got angry with me. Shouldn't you do something seeing that she almost destroyed our wedding?"
The relatives started speaking up for me, and when my mother-in-law saw how swollen my cheek was from the slap, she started feeling guilty and took my side. "Annie's right. That Candice Channing girl shouldn't have said those things and caused this misunderstanding! She has to take responsibility for this!"
That was when Russell realized that my cheek had swollen, and a pained look appeared in his eyes, but when he heard my mother-in-law demanding that Candice take responsibility for the situation, the look in his eyes turned to hesitation.
I looked past him and at his superior, and several superiors from different departments voiced out right away, "Candice Channing should be demoted and punished with community service for a month!"
This put a smile on my face, and I added, "She should apologize publicly to me as well."
Candice had tears in her eyes when she bowed to me and apologized in front of everyone. She ran away, crying, whilst the guests were chiding her about her actions. Russell looked like he wanted to say something to her as he watched her leave, but did not. Instead, he turned to me. "Candice doesn't know her way around here. I'll go after her to make sure she's okay."
I burst out laughing, but did not stop him. I waited until all the guests were done with the wedding dinner, and I knew it was about the same time in my past life when they ended up in bed. I stood up and pretended to sound surprised, "Where's Russell? Did he have too much to drink? Can everyone help me find him?"
This time, I made sure to lead the superiors toward our new house.
My older sister's favorite thing to do was to have me witness what she did with my fiancé. She wanted me to see them make love in our new house on the new bedsheets I bought specially for our wedding night. I wanted them exposed in front of everyone in this lifetime.
Moaning could be heard coming from the bedroom, and I kicked the door open. However, the only person in the room was Russell, who was lying against the bed, looking back at us stoically. The drugged water that he was supposed to have drunk had spilled all over the ground, and Candice, who was also supposed to be in the room, was nowhere to be found.
My mind went blank.
"If there's nothing else, we should be leaving." The superiors helped close the door behind us when they saw that nothing had happened.
Russell looked at me with the familiar disgusted look he had given me in the past life. "I can't believe you still haven't learned your lesson after coming back, Annie. I told you before that no one can harm Candice and the baby inside her as long as I'm around!"
"I can't believe you came back too." I was shocked, but quickly calmed down. I decided to give up putting on an act in front of him. I looked at him coldly and said, "Since we're all on the same page, let's get divorced."
However, Russell did not agree with me. He frowned instead and stopped me right away. "I won't agree to a divorce."
It sounded so ridiculous to me that I laughed in anger, "Are you crazy, Russell? Aren't you afraid I will bully her? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to make it up to her and her baby? Once we're divorced, you can marry Candice and be with her legitimately! Or could it be…"
A thought came to me, and I laughed. "Are you afraid a divorce will affect your promotion?"
"What are you talking about?"
Chapter 4
Russell frowned as he looked at me, and he replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't I explain this to you already? My relationship with Candice isn't what you think. She just wanted to give herself to me to fulfill her dream. I agreed to marry you, and you're the only woman I'll marry. I would never divorce you."
This sounded even more ridiculous to me, and I replied coldly, "I don't need to be married to you, Russell. What makes you think I'm willing to waste the rest of my life in a loveless marriage with you when you killed our baby and me?"
Russell threw me a complicated look and said, "Annie, it's in the past now. I promise… I'll treat you well in this life."
With that, he quickly pulled the door open and locked me inside the room. I had a bad feeling about this, and I ran to the door, smacking it hard. "What are you doing, Russell?! Open the door!"
Russell was heard speaking obscurely through the door, "You know very well that Candice is pregnant right now. Her reputation would be ruined if she had a baby at such a young age. I promised her that we'll adopt the baby once it's born, and treat it like our own… I know you hate Candice. The only way to prevent you from treating the child badly is to… Make sure that you can't get pregnant. If you aren't able to get pregnant, you'll have no choice but to treat this baby well."
His words chilled me to the bone, and I started yelling crazily from behind the door. "Are you mad, Russell?! If you really want to make it up to her, just divorce me! Why must you do something like this to hurt me? Why must I be the victim in your quest for true love?"
Russell replied softly, "You owe this to Candice. You owe her and the baby inside her their lives… I promise you, Annie, that I'll break it off with Candice once and for all after this. I'll treat you well for the rest of your life…"
I screamed as I cursed at him, but nothing I said stopped him from leaving.
The door to my room was kicked open, and several lecherous-looking men entered. My eyes widened when I saw their faces. These men were death convicts Russell had arrested recently for raping and murdering dozens of people!
I instantly understood what Russell had planned for me. Even though I had already given up on him, my heart still felt like it had been torn apart.
Candice stood not far away as she smiled while holding up the keys to my door. My tears fell uncontrollably as I roared at her, "Why can't you just let me off, Candice?! Why must you do this to me?! I'm your sister!"
She looked angry when she replied, "How dare you ask me that question?! Mom and Dad only cared for you! Do you think I had no idea that they sold everything they had just to pay for your wedding? Why do you get everything, while I get nothing? They want you to marry a good man, don't they? Well, then I'm going to make your man leave you! I want you to lose everything just like I did and live your life in misery!"
Candice's words were like a bucket of cold water over me. I could not stop trembling as I looked at her with despair. "How can you say I'm the only one they cared about? Ask yourself, where did you get the money to pay for university? Where did you get the high allowance you enjoyed while living a carefree life in the city?"
Chapter 5
"Did you know that they tore up my university acceptance letter just to let you get your degree?! It's because our family could only afford one university graduate! Do you know why I got married so early? It's because my in-laws agreed to pay for your tuition, which was why I was married off!"
My words did not garner any reaction from Candice. All she did was sneer. "So what? If you weren't born, I would have gotten more. You should never have been born, Annie, but it's all right now. Once you're dead, everything you have will belong to me."
Candice started laughing wildly. "I should be thanking you for finding such a wonderful husband. Otherwise, my baby wouldn't have gotten a good father like him. Don't you worry about us. We'll live a happy life together."
She turned savagely to the death convicts and instructed, "Strip her naked after you're done with her and throw her onto the streets! I want everyone to see what a sl*t this bride is to be sleeping with so many men on the night of her wedding!"
"No!" I screamed as those men pressed me to the ground and started tearing my clothes off. Candice locked the door while smiling gleefully, and she slipped back to the wedding dinner, acting nonchalantly as she stood by Russell's side.
An explosion was suddenly heard, and a fire broke out not far from where the house was. Everyone jumped from their seats.
"What's happening?! The house looks like it's on fire! Oh, my gosh! The bride is still inside! Someone save her!"
Russell felt his eye twitching, and he was filled with panic. He stood up right away, flipping the table in the process, as he ran toward the house. "Annie! Annie's still in the house!"
Candice felt a little unsettled as she stared at the sudden fire. She forced a smile while trying to calm Russell down, but he pushed her away.
By the time everyone rushed to the house, they saw me crawling out from the fire with wounds all over me. Everyone looked at me in shock as I stumbled and tried to stand up. My throat was sore from the smoke, but I shouted, "Everyone! I want to lodge a report against my husband, Russell Loft, for cheating on me with the army doctor! They even locked me up in the room with several convicted rapists, and tried to get me killed!"
"What are you talking about, Annie?!" Russell roared at me while shielding Candice, who looked like she was about to pass out, behind him. "It's one thing to be constantly showing your jealousy, but how can you malign the army doctor this way?! Candice is my personal doctor in the army who treats my wounds. She's always been a help to me, and you're being ungrateful for everything she did for me, even going as far as to accuse her of something horrible like this!"
Russell turned to the superiors, who were looking at all this sternly, and said, "I have to be honest with everyone about my wife's condition. She is mentally ill and is constantly accusing me of having an affair."
He sounded bitter as he continued, "I'm extremely sorry that Doctor Candice Channing has been hurt in the process. I will do my best to make it up to her. I won't defend Annie just because she's my wife. I will personally submit a letter of protest against her, and point out her wrongdoings in a public meeting! I'll make sure she apologizes to you in public!"
Candice teared up. "Thank you, Russell. It makes me safe to hear you say that."
The superiors and colleagues around us started looking at me with disdain.
"I can't believe that's who she really is."
"How can you create a scene like this on such a happy occasion, Annie? What bad luck for Russell to marry a woman like you."
I looked at everyone and laughed coldly.
Chapter 6
"How can you say that I'm slandering Candice with such conviction, Russell? Do you dare let your personal doctor go through a medical screening? Do you dare let all the mothers here take a look at her belly? She's probably four months pregnant right now!"
Everyone turned to look at Candice, who was in loose clothing, the moment I said this. She started to panic and cry while saying, "You're just trying to make up stories about me because you know I get embarrassed easily. How can you make me reveal my belly in public? Are you trying to ruin my reputation? If that's what you want, let me just die and prove my innocence with my death!"
With that, she ran toward the cliff.
"Candice!" Russell yelled out at her as he ran over to shield her in his arms. When Candice passed out in his arms, looking pale, he turned to me coldly. "You forced me into doing this."
He said to the superiors with a pained look. "I'd like to apply for my wife to be sent to the sanatorium for treatment. I heard that electrotherapy can help with certain brain-related illnesses. I'd like to apply for her to be sent for electrotherapy!"
I turned to the superiors right away. "Everyone! I'm telling the truth! You can check for yourself if you don't believe that the criminals you arrested a few days ago are missing. The only person who could have let them out is Russell!"
This earned a grim look from them, and as they were about to call headquarters about this, Russell's yell interrupted me. "That's enough, Annie!" He turned solemnly to his superiors and said, "I'm using my future as a guarantee that she's spouting nonsense! There is nothing between Candice and me, and we didn't release any criminals to hurt her. If what she's saying is true, I'll willingly give everything up and accept my punishment!"
The superiors exchanged glances and said to me, "Miss Channing, you should accept treatment at the sanatorium. The earlier you get in, the earlier you'll get better."
"No!" I screamed and struggled as Russell's subordinates held me down. They dragged me into the car, and I could only watch Candice smiling gleefully in Russell's arms through the car window. I was consumed with hate as I wondered what Russell would do if he found out that the woman he protected by gambling his future away was only using him as a stepping stone. Would he still do anything for her like this if he knew?
…
After Russell took Candice to the hospital, he was anxious and could not calm down. After thinking about it, he decided to call the sanatorium. He had heard that electrotherapy was a painful process and patients going through it would often lose control of their bowels and even fall limply to the ground, immobile.
Even the toughest criminals would confess while crying after undergoing electrotherapy, much less a weak and frail woman like Annie. If she was really strapped to that chair, who knew what would happen to her…
Just as he was about to call the sanatorium, a messenger stumbled into the room, looking pale as he shouted to everyone inside, "Bad news! Headquarters just sent news that twelve maximum security convicts have gone missing. Someone on the inside has released them!"
