Need ideas for a story I'm writing - a reason for revenge?
So basically I'm writing a story centred on a ghost who has come back to haunt someone, to get revenge on them. Only by the time they find this person they've been reincarnated and can't remember their past life, but he decides to watch over this girl anyway (out of intrigue) and ends up falling in love with her.
I need a reason for him to resent her past self - a reason big enough to make him reject heaven and want to come back as a ghost, but not such a cruel reason that it makes my human character a bad person in her current life? (Like I don't know, manslaughter or accidentally humiliating ghostguy while he was alive?) I'd also like it if human girl had been a guy in the past life... I was thinking of them being rivalling pirates but I don't want to go that far back in the past xD
-help is appreciated!

I have a few suggestions:
1) The girl seemed like she was cheating on him, but she really wasn't but ghost guy didn't believe her.
2) They got into a really bad fight and so he stormed out into the road at night but accidently got hit by a car and died.
3) The guy was going to have a life-changing surgery but the girl wouldn't give him the money. But, she really wouldn't give him the money because either a) she was pregnant and they would need the extra money ((but after he died she got an abortion)) b) her mom/aunt/dad/uncle/someone important was diagnosed with cancer and they were elderly and couldn't pay for it. (Ghost-guy doesn't know this reason though)

I'm completely confused by what you just said but the reason for revenge could be a car accident that hurt the ghosts family and or him. Or she became the manager at the ghosts work and fired the ghost guy for being lazy. Or the girl could have a son/daughter with the ghost guy and she took the child away. So pretty much it'd be love for the second time. Which that sounds like a good title "love for the second time." Anyway. That's all the ideas I got for what I can understand.
