When I Loved the Wrong Man

The first thing I did after rebirth was follow my husband, Franklin Wallace, to the island for his military deployment.

In my previous life, as a spoiled rich heiress from a wealthy family, I looked down on Franklin, the commander my family had arranged for me to marry. We fought constantly, huge arguments every few days, small quarrels in between.

After having children, I grew to resent our two kids simply because they carried Franklin's blood.

Later, when Franklin was ordered to be stationed on the island, I was the first to stand up and object to going with him. Since I opposed it, Franklin did not force me. He took our two kids and his widowed sister-in-law, Elsie Faulkner, to the island instead.

Meanwhile, my spoiled and rebellious self could not wait to throw myself into the arms of my first love, Reuben Sandoval, once Franklin left.

However, it did not take long before I discovered Reuben was nothing but a gold-digging scumbag who only wanted my money and body. He gave me an STI and drained my family fortune completely.

When Franklin returned from the island with our children, they no longer recognized me as their mother and affectionately called Elsie "Mommy" instead. He even told me he had fallen in love with Elsie during their time together on the island.

Eventually, I ended up homeless on the streets and starved to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Franklin was about to leave for his island deployment.

"Mikayla, you can't be throwing a tantrum at a time like this! Military deployment is serious business. Once Franklin takes the children to the island, your family will be separated for months! Life on the island might be tough, but as a commander's wife, you need to set an example."

The familiar nagging voice reached my ears and made me realize I had truly been reborn. Looking up, I saw Franklin Wallace's sister-in-law, Elsie Faulkner. She looked concerned, acting like she genuinely worried about Franklin and me being apart.

In my last life, I was forced to break up with my first love, Reuben Sandoval. Obeying my family's arrangements, I married the rough, unpolished Franklin.

I resented this arranged marriage from the start and naturally showed Franklin nothing but coldness.

Every day, I caused drama at home. I picked fights with Franklin constantly and opposed him at every turn. I even grew to hate our twin children simply because they nearly killed me during childbirth.

When I learned Franklin was being stationed on the island, I was thrilled.

I thought I was finally going to be free!

However, I never expected Franklin's departure would mark the beginning of my life's greatest suffering.

The moment he left with the kids and Elsie, I could not wait to rekindle things with Reuben and indulge in all sorts of romantic escapades. For the first few months, life was indeed comfortable.

Franklin sent his military allowance on time,
