CHAPTER FOUR
REBIRTH.
Kara's POV.
I knew I had to go back home to demand an explanation for everything that was going on. So as soon as the doctor discharged me, I decided to go home."You can't leave yet, miss." The doctor suddenly stopped me and I frowned."What? Why?""Mr. Xavier demanded that you wait for him to get back from his meeting. Apparently, he has something important to tell you." The doctor responded and I narrowed my eyes at him."He told you that?""Yes. So please be patient." The doctor almost bowed and exited the ward, while I sat there confused.I was grateful to Xavier for all the help he had rendered but what could possibly be important that he wanted to see me for?I tried to rank my brain for what the topic might be but nothing was popping up. Besides, two nights ago, when I asked him about the kiss, he told me it never happened and I was probably so drunk that I mixed things up.He even teased me about having a crush on him."Well, he can see me later," I muttered under my breath as I left the hospital, deciding that whatever Xavier wanted to see me for, couldn't be as important as what I had to ask Jeremy.I took a taxi back to the estate, and when I walked in, I was surprised by the transformation of the house decor, but that didn't hurt me; it was the pictures on the wall that did.My photos with Jeremy had all been replaced with those of him and Brittany."Oh! You here?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and turned to see Brittany, with her head standing tall."Yes, and I can see you have moved in." I smiled weakly, trying to ignore the ache in my heart."Of course I have. It's where I belonged in the first place." Brittany laughed, before taking a step closer to me."You know, you are so easy to manipulate." She began and I furrowed my brows at her."I don't understand.""Two years ago, everything was planned. I intentionally drugged you so you could end up in bed with Jeremy and that way, I would be able to cancel the engagement and fly out of the country for a new modeling gig I just got." She revealed and my jaw dropped.Wait! She did what?"It was quite easy, considering you have always had a crush on Jeremy," Brittany said and rage burned through my veins."Does Jeremy know this?" "Of course. I mean we planned it together." Jeremy spoke up behind her and I went pale, my hands trembling."W-what?""Yes. You see, I finally figured out why my mum always hated you. It was because your parents, before they died, stole everything from her, and my mother wanted at all costs to make you suffer for their sins, so we came up with a solution.""Since I already proposed and Brittany got a huge offer, calling off the engagement would be a waste, especially since you are so in love with me, so why not take advantage of your love for me?" Jeremy began with a chuckle, his words punching me in the guts."Yes, you kissed Xavier, but I tricked him into thinking I wanted to help you to your room, but then, you were too touchy despite being drunk, so we ended up having s*x, and I called the press myself, knowing you would protect me."I couldn't take the truth anymore, my legs wobbled as my vision suddenly grew blurry. I immediately leaned on a poll, trying to stabilize myself."So it's true that you really poisoned me?" I struggled to ask and Jeremy nodded without remorse."Yes. I got tired of you clinging, besides we already got what we wanted from you. The inheritance your parents left you." Jeremy said and my blood turned cold.I had an inheritance?I widened my eyes at him and he scoffed."Oh please! Don't look so surprised. Your family lawyer has been looking for you for years, ever since you got lost in the orphanage after the accident, but my mum recognized you because of the birthmark, the one I made you hide so they would never find you.""Then he created an artificial one for me and together, we claimed the inheritance," Brittany smirked, and I bit my lower lip, hatred buzzing through me.No, none of them could go scot-free with all of these."You know..." I laughed, surprising them. "I wonder what the press would say once they hear everything I have recorded."I watched with satisfaction as all colors drained out of their faces, especially when I showed them the device connected to my cloth.I turned to leave when;"You bitch." Brittany grabbed me from behind and slammed my head hard, against the wall."Bri, nooooo." I heard Jeremy scream, but it was too late. I could feel life going out of me as tears rolled down my cheeks.Was this how I was going to end?But I deserved none of this. I couldn't let them win, and if possible, I wanted a second chance at life...................I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm ringing and groaned, standing up to stretch when a familiar pain hit me in the chest, and I coughed up blood.I froze, my mind reeling as I recognized the room I was in.Wait! Wasn't I dead?Didn't Brittany kill me?Just then, the door opened, and Jeremy walked into the room, clad in the same suit he wore the day he served me the divorce papers.He was on his phone as usual, and I gasped as the realization hit me.It couldn't be.I hurriedly grabbed my phone to check the date, and my lips parted from surprise as I discovered that I had been reborn three days before my death.If I could recall properly, today was the day I found out about his betrayal and also the day I discovered I was poisoned.I hurriedly sat on the back, trying to calm my racing heart as I realized that my fate was now in my hands.This meant that if I could hurriedly go to the hospital now, I could be saved, with my unborn child.I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the urge to cry when Jeremy touched me."Are you okay?" I flinched from his touch, glaring at him as I remembered all he did.Too bad, life was starting all over again.This time, I get to serve the divorce first.
