hesitation.
I seethed, “My wedding was perfect until you ruined it, Simon! How dare you show up before me again! And what

made you think I would choose you? Did you think I was charmed by your shameless, manipulative ways?”
Simon cupped his cheek as he gaped at me in disbelief. “Olive, we were given two shots at life! That can only mean one thing! The world revolves around us. I can do and have whatever I want as long as I wish for it! It worked on
too!” Yasmin, and it will work on you,
I shot him an icy look before slowly backing off. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
He suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm, his expression maniacal as he said, “I was wrong for cheating on you with Yasmin in the past life, Olive. You got mad at us and drove into us so that we’d all die in that car crash.
“When we woke up, we found ourselves transported back in time to when we just got married! I thought I loved Yasmin, so I left you for her.

Behind us, Aaron finally lost his patience and charged toward us. He swatted Simon’s hand away and pulled me into his embrace. “Call the cops! Tell them a madman crashed our wedding!” he barked at the security guards. Simon’s gaze darkened as he fixed a murderous look at Aaron. He looked like he was about to pounce. “What did you call me?

The security guards came over to wheel Simon out as if on cue. Only then did he begin to panic. “What do you mean by that, Olive? I’m not sick! I really do love you! Don’t do this to me, please! I’m sorry!”
His voice faded as he was escorted out the door. Aaron took my hand and led me slowly up the stage once more. We exchanged rings and kissed to seal our vows. We thanked the misfortunes of our pasts for the blessings we reaped in the present.
As for Simon, I reckoned he would be stuck in an asylum for long–term treatment. After all, the world didn’t revolve around anyone. But we could always be the main characters in our own stories.
