The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life Was Also Reborn Novel by Fitzgerald Mitchell

After watching my parents’ plane take off, I finally dialed John’s number.

It was 9 am, the pet store’s opening time and also its busiest hour. It was time to clean up the mess, scrub the floors, and deal with the aftermath of the animals’ overnight escapades.

John, being the lazy bum he was, always tried to avoid work, so he usually snuck out at this time, leaving Lily to handle the dirty work all by herself.

“Hello?” John answered quickly, his voice thick with sleep.

I could hear the telltale sounds of him smoking through the phone, which further confirmed my suspicions.

I burst into tears. “John, my dad suddenly got sick, and I don’t know what to do. Can you come over and help me?”

One of the reasons I had always urged Lily to break up with him was that John always looked at me with a creepy glint in his eyes. Once, when Lily was in the restroom, he had even tried to touch me inappropriately. It had disgusted me beyond words.

“John, I… I… I don’t know what to do,” I sobbed, playing the damsel in distress to perfection.

“Hannah, where are you? I’ll come over right away.” John extinguished the smoke and headed for the door.

I smirked inwardly. I knew he’d fall for it. John was not only lazy but also a restless philanderer. He had badmouthed Lily to me on several occasions, complaining about her family’s poor background and her lack of attractiveness. He’d said that I, with my good looks and decent family, was a much better match for him.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Back then, I just wanted him to crawl back into whatever hole he came from. But Lily was stubborn and refused to listen. Now that I think about it, they deserve each other.

“Hello? Hannah?” John called out when I didn’t respond immediately.

“John, I’ll send you my location. And, um, could you please not tell Lily? You know how jealous she gets. I don’t want her to misunderstand.”

I heard John chuckle. “Sure, don’t worry, I’m on my way.”

Yeah, right. I knew he wouldn’t tell Lily even if I didn’t ask. He wouldn’t pass up such a perfect opportunity to cheat.

After hanging up, I found another number in my phone and sent a text message.

Everything was set. I glanced at the time, it’s 9:30 am. In two and a half hours, everyone should be here.

Lily, in my past life, you accused me of trying to seduce John. Well, this time, I’ll make your wish come true.

When John arrived, he found me “drunk,” my cheeks flushed, pretending to be tipsy. As soon as I saw him, I threw myself into his arms.

His body immediately heated up.

He hugged me tightly, smelling my hair in a lecherous way. “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m here now.”
