I lifted my eyebrows. That was easy.
Once I ended the call, I immediately blocked Edwin. Out of sight, out of mind. Is that really so hard for him to understand?
Three days flew by. Early that morning, Edwin’s parents showed up at my doorstep, kneeling down 99 times, counting each one aloud until they hit the full number.
When I finally opened the door, I saw their knees scraped and bleeding from the repeated kneeling.
I stepped right over them, got into the car, and said, “Take me to the Sullivan’s residence.”
The next time I saw Edwin, his eyes were red as he said, “Agnes, now that you’re here, have you changed your mind? Are you finally ready to come back to me? I’ve been waiting for you.
“I’ve thought a lot these last few days. I now realize you were always the one who treated me the best. You’re the only one who truly loved me.‘
I took out a special tool and stared at the cold gleam reflecting off it, whispering, “You don’t love me, or can’t forget me. You just realized, after everything, that I was the only one who’s ever truly been good to you.”

“If it hurts, why don’t you just take some painkillers? Why act all dramatic and suffer through it? Trying to play the victim?”
He slammed the door without noticing I had passed out from the pain. My mother couldn’t reach me by phone, but she found me just in time and rushed me to the hospital.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lived long enough in my previous life for him to personally shove me off that cliff.
In the next moment, I swung the special tool and jabbed it into his skin. He screamed in agony, veins bulging, eyes nearly popping out.
I gave him 49 needles before stopping and turning to his parents standing nearby.
“This has to continue for three hours. If it doesn’t work, it needs to be repeated.”
Suzanne nodded and fiercely ordered Herminie, who was kneeling beside
her.
