Traded My Life for His First Love

When the earthquake occurs, Kenneth Scott's childhood sweetheart, Gigi Lynch, and I are trapped under the debris at the same time.

When I see the rescue equipment that Kenneth has tossed into the debris, I decide to give up on saving myself. So, I let Gigi have the opportunity to get rescued.

In my previous lifetime, I successfully got rescued by Kenenth. But Gigi ended up getting crushed to death by the crumbling debris. Needless to say, she died a terrible death.

After Gigi died, Kenneth hugged me and cried throughout the night.

I thought he was crying tears of relief. That was, until he drugged me and had me delivered to the surgical table.

When I woke up, I realized that my face had gone under the knife, making me look exactly like Gigi.

I scratched at my face like a lunatic, only for Kenneth to grasp my wrists firmly.

"Gigi traded her life to save yours! It's your duty to live this life for her from now on!"

But later on, Kenneth was never satisfied with me. He kept criticizing me, saying that my gaze wasn't right, and my voice wasn't the same as Gigi's. All in all, I could never become her.

After that, I got pregnant. Kenneth responded by bringing me miscarriage-inducing medication.

I sank to my knees and begged Kenneth to spare the baby. In fact, I kept groveling to him till my forehead started bleeding.

But Kenneth merely replied icily, "Impostors like you don't have the right to give birth to my child."

Then, he gripped me by my chin and forced the bowl of boiling medicine down my throat. I felt as though my throat was being scalded. At the same time, blood kept oozing from my lower region.

When my vision went blurry, Kenneth pushed me into a newly-dug pit.

"Gigi is too lonely in the afterlife. Why don't you keep her company?"

Mounds of dirt kept falling onto me. While I fought for air, I heard Kenneth's cruel laughter drifting from the surface.

When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the moment I'm about to get rescued.

Estelle Wheeler's POV:

Dust continued raining down from the concrete slab above me. All that dust in the air was suffocating me. My right leg was pinned beneath a beam, and the pain caused me to break out in a cold sweat.

I heard the sound of two people embracing from somewhere above me. I heard Gigi Lynch's muffled sobs against Kenneth Scott's chest, as well as the sound of him murmuring gentle words of comfort.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, "Where's Estelle?"

"Estelle… She was fighting me for the rope earlier. She lost her footing and slipped into the shallow trench next to us," Gigi sobbed.

"Ken, it hurts so bad…"

Silence hung in the air for a couple of seconds. Then, Kenneth snapped from above, "In that case, she can very well climb up the beam
