“You always walked around like nobody could touch you.”Benjamin's voice was low and measured as he crouched down and grabbed William's jaw, forcing his face upward. His fingers dug into William's skin hard enough to leave marks.“Like you were untouchable. Like you were better than everyone around you.”He stared into William's eyes for a long moment, then he pushed him of the wheelchair.Then he stood.“Well that ends here.”He walked to it without hurrying, grabbed it with both hands, lifted it high above his head, and brought it crashing down directly across William's back.The sound it made turned the stomach.William's eyes shot wide open. His mouth formed a scream that his body refused to release. Every muscle in him seized from the impact, shuddering violently, his vision exploding white before beginning to break apart.Benjamin tossed the wheelchair aside like an empty box.But he was not finished, he pulled his foot back and drove it hard into William's ribs. The crack was a

William kept staring at his young face in the mirror. Then everything came rushing back to him like cold water hitting his skin. This room. This suit. This day.He couldn't believe It was his wedding day. The day his whole life turned into a horror movie.... 'What the hell am I doing here?' His thoughts raced. 'I thought I was dead.' 'Am I not supposed to be dead?' At that moment his heart started beating so fast he could hear it in his ears. This couldn't be real. People don't just go back in time, and I still remember everything that happened, every single bit of it. Things like this don't happen. Immediately William slapped himself hard across the face. The sting burned his cheek. He did it again, harder this time. The pain felt real. Sharp and clear. He wasn't dreaming. 'Is this some kind of joke?' he thought, looking around the room again. 'Did I somehow travel back twenty years to my wedding day?' William was still trying to figure out what was happening when the door o

At that moment William reached the altar and stopped. Behind him, Simon stood frozen like a statue. His mouth was still hanging open from shock.Simon had no idea what had gotten into William. This wasn't the same man who always said yes to everything. Who always opened his wallet whenever anyone asked.But William remembered something else about Simon. When the accident happened and William ended up in that wheelchair, Simon had wanted to speak up. Had wanted to ask questions about what really happened that night.But Lydia gave Simon a thick envelope full of cash. More money than he'd ever seen at one time. And just like that, Simon's mouth stayed shut forever.Money was all Simon ever wanted. Nothing more, nothing less.At the altar, the pastor looked at William and gave him a small nod. William nodded back, but his face stayed cold and serious.Then William turned to face the entrance of the hall. He could see Simon and Vivian still standing where he left them. Both of them looked

Immediately after Lydia finished yelling at William, she rushed down the altar steps. Her white wedding dress got tangled around her legs, but she didn't care.She knelt down next to Benjamin and helped him sit up. Her hands checked his back and shoulders for injuries.Benjamin was clearly in pain. His face was twisted up and he moved slowly. Part of him wanted to jump up and fight William right there.But he had to stick to his role. The caring, innocent friend.“William, did I do something wrong?” Benjamin's voice sounded hurt and confused. “If I did, please forgive me. You didn't have to push me that hard, I almost hit my head on the floor.”Benjamin stood up carefully, holding his back.“If I had landed on my head, I could have died.”Lydia's face turned red with fury. She pointed her finger at William like a weapon.“Apologize to Benjamin! Right now!”Her voice echoed through the entire wedding hall. Every guest was staring now.“If you don't apologize to Benjamin, this wedding i

William arrived at his house and immediately felt a sharp pain shoot through his head. The headache had been building up ever since he woke up in his younger body this morning. At first, when he came back to life, he could only remember bits and pieces. He knew his wife and her family had plotted against him, but the details were fuzzy. Now, sitting in his living room, the memories were flooding back like a dam had burst open. Every single detail from the past twenty years came rushing into his mind. All the painful years he spent trapped in that wheelchair. The worst memories were of Benjamin sleeping with his wife. William's hands clenched into fists as he remembered watching them together when they thought he couldn't see. But along with the painful memories came something much more valuable. Key information about the future. William remembered all the major events that would happen over the next twenty years. Every business deal. Every stock market crash. Every company tha
