Mercy Philbrick's Choice by Helen Hunt Jackson

Chapter 1 No.1

To one who found us on a starless night,

All helpless, groping in a dangerous way,

Where countless treacherous hidden pitfalls lay,

And, seeing all our peril, flashed a light

To show to our bewildered, blinded sight,

By one swift, clear, and piercing ray,

The safe, sure path,--what words could reach the height

Of our great thankfulness? And yet, at most,

The most he saved was this poor, paltry life

Of flesh, which is so little worth its cost,

Which eager sows, but may not stay to reap,

And so soon breathless with the strain and strife,

Its work half-done, exhausted, falls asleep.

Two years after her marriage, Ximena lost consciousness in a pool of her own blood during a difficult childbirth. She forgot that her ex-husband was actually getting married to someone else that day. "Let's get a divorce, but the baby stays with me." His words before their divorce was finalized still lingered in her head. He wasn't there for her, but he wanted full custody of their child. Ximena would rather die than see her child call someone else mother. As a result, she gave up the ghost on the operating table with two babies left in her belly. But that wasn't the end for her... Years later, fate caused them to meet again. Ramon was a changed man this time. He wanted to keep her to himself even though she was already a mother of two children. When he found out about her wedding, he stormed into the venue and created a scene. "Ramon, I died once before, so I don't mind dying again. But this time, I want us to die together," she yelled, glaring at him with hurt in her eyes. Ximena thought he didn't love her and was happy that she was finally out of his life. But what she didn't know was that the news of her unexpected death had shattered his heart. For a long time, he cried alone due to the pain and agony. He always wished he could turn back the hands of time or see her beautiful face once again. The drama that came later became too much for Ximena. Her life was filled with twists and turns. Soon, she was torn between getting back with her ex-husband or moving on with her life. What would she choose?
