Rise up! Dear self!Chapter 1
When the hospital called to inform me that Henry Pearce had been in an accident, I couldn't help but smile wide. That scumbag was finally dead.
I rushed to the hospital to take care of the necessary paperwork. Before the cremation, I kindly called my mother-in-law, Celeste Pearce. Unfortunately, she kept hanging up on me.
It wasn't until after Henry was turned to ashes that Celeste finally called back. "Sofia Whitfield, what's the fuss this early in the morning? You better have a good reason for calling so many times, or I won't let you off the hook."
Pretending to choke up, I said, "Mom, Henry had an accident. He died in a car crash."
Then, I heard a wail from the other end of the line, and I instantly felt a wave of satisfaction.
I picked the cheapest urn available, feeling content, and headed home.
To my surprise, the first person I saw wasn't my mother-in-law, but Ruby Fraser, my husband's mistress. She had made my life miserable in my past life.
I had been reborn. In my previous life, I discovered Henry's affair only after Ruby sent me some provocative photos. I filed for divorce that very day, asking for nothing but my daughter's custody.
