The vagrant nodded, grinning grossly as he removed his pants and approached me.
“No… don’t!” I cried out, desperately trying to move away.
Tears soaked my clothes, fear threatening to devour me as I backed away.
“Wesley… Wesley…”
Suddenly, a bright light shone, and the vagrant screamed.
Wesley, appearing with a flashlight, untied me and carried me in his arms. Jasper stood beside him, his hands trembling slightly.
“Jasper, deal with your family matters.”
“But I warn you, don’t ever target my wife again!”

Wesley gave Jasper a cold look and took me home.
Nora hadn’t reacted when the sinister Jasper walked over and kicked her in the knee.
“Nora, you really never know until you hear it!” Jasper yanked her hair viciously and pulled her up.
Nora trembled, “Jasper, let me explain.”
Jasper laughed coldly. He had once said he’d be filial to his mother, yet he married the woman who killed her. How ironic.
He turned his head to look at the vagrant.
“You dared to push my mom into the lake, what else won’t you dare to do? I’ll make you pay for my mom’s life!”
“Jasper, let go! I’m pregnant with your child. You can’t do this to me!”
Jasper ignored Nora’s cries, waking the vagrant with a kick.
“Don’t, Jasper, I was wrong. I lied to Cora! I didn’t push your mom into the lake, let me go, please?”
Jasper’s eyes lost their light, “I was stupid to believe you. I wronged Cora, and I’ll atone for it.”‘
“As for you, you should experience the pain Cora felt before her death and
pay for my mom’s life.”
With that, Jasper picked up a stick, broke Nora’s limbs, and turned away, leaving the vagrant to do as he pleased with her.
Wesley held me all the way, softly comforting my trembling self.
“Wesley, how did you suddenly show up here?”
“! overheard your conversation with Nora. I was worried you’d be in danger, so I brought Jasper along and followed you.”
“Sorry for scaring you. When Nora hit you, I wanted to rush in to save you, but Jasper held me back to let her finish.”
I sobbed quietly, “Now that all my troubles are solved, you don’t have to marry me to inherit your family’s wealth. Do you still want to continue with me?”
Wesley patted my head and hugged me.
“Silly, haven’t you developed any feelings for me after all this time? I love you, you’re the only wife I’ll ever have.”
“We took vows, remember? To love, honor, and protect you in all circumstances until death do us part. We can’t go back on that.”
Wesley gently touched my nose, and I finally broke down, crying in his arms.
The next day, pedestrians reported to the police that a female corpse was found on the street, with a vagrant nearby.
The police arrested the vagrant, and news of the incident spread quickly.
In the end, the vagrant was sentenced to execution for multiple harassment and rape incidents.

Wesley and I held a funeral for Nora, in the same spot as in my previous life. In both lives, she never escaped that street.
At the funeral, Jasper kneeled before me.
“Cora, I know I was wrong, I’m not human.”
“I foolishly believed Nora’s lies and did awful things to you.”
He slapped himself repeatedly. “Cora, can you give me another chance for the sake of our past love? I promise to cherish and love you!”
I looked at the man I once loved and who had hurt me, expressionless.
“Jasper, don’t forget how you treated me.”
At the funeral, Jasper knelt before me.
“Cora, I know I was wrong. I can’t even call myself human.”
“I was so easily deceived by Nora’s lies and did those terrible things to you.”
He struck his own face repeatedly, “Cora, can you give me another chance for the love we once shared? I promise I’ll cherish and care for you!”
I looked at the man who had both loved and hurt me with a blank expression.
“Jasper, don’t forget how you treated me.”
“The last time, you beat me so badly I was unrecognizable and forced me to kneel and bow. After that, my hearing was almost completely gone.”
“If I hadn’t left you, how much more harm would I have suffered? Is this what you call love?”
As I spoke, my emotions intensified, and tears slowly fell.
“You’ve already done enough. From now on, I never want to see you again.”
I wiped the tears from my face and left with Wesley.
Jasper collapsed to the ground, crying into his hands.
Months later, Wesley was set to return and reclaim his family inheritance. My Mom and Dad, who were on a world trip, came back to the country after learning about Nora’s death.
Wesley and I left together and returned to the country.
Following Mom and Dad’s advice, I managed my company well. Wesley, as in the previous life, became the head of the Wesley family and the youngest wealthiest person in the country.
I reported Jasper for deliberately harming me and my sister, and the police sentenced him to prison.
Wesley and I had a lovely child, and those painful memories no longer haunted my dreams daily.
Everything was over, and Wesley and I were finally on the path to happiness.
