Reborn For Revenge

Maya's POV Wedding day, they say, is every woman's happy day, but mine was the day everything turned into a nightmare. It was the day the story of my life was rewritten. I stood in front of the mirror admiring myself for the one fifty times in my simple but classic white dress when the door opened. My mother walked in with her face hardened. Well that wasn't new, she was always like that with me. Maybe the last time she smiled at me was when I was a toddler or maybe she never did. “How dare you?!” My mother's hand sounded so hard on my face. “You ungrateful bastard!” “Your sister was just trying to help you and this is how you chose to repay her?!” I could see the reflection of myself in front of the mirror, her hand left a handprint on my face. My eyes became red as I stared at my pitiful soul. I couldn't take it anymore, not today and not anymore. “Mum!! It's my wedding!” I snapped out. “It's my wedding mum” I continued in my calm voice “ a happy day for every woman, a day you should be happy for me mum” “why are you treating me like this?” tears surrounded my eyes. “Shut it! Just shut your f*****g mouth, and so what if it your wedding? Nothing is going to change with your wedding, you still remain the dumb Maya.” “It's okay mum, it's just makeup and nothing serious,” Mara smiled and patted my shoulder. Mara is my identical twin sister, she wanted me to wear heavy makeup which I was against. I knew she spent a lot of money to hire the make-up artist but I wasn't interested at all. “Oh Jesse, why does it have to be two? I wished it was just Mara” my mother constantly proved that she preferred my twin sister, she compared us together. Home is a beautiful and peaceful place but with me, home was a pit of hell for me. Everything changed when I met Jackson. He showed me there was something called love and since then, I became a better person. I anticipated our wedding so much, the day I would become family with Jackson just only if I knew what had been prepared for me, maybe I would have stopped the wedding. “Get yourself together, it's time for the wedding banquet” my mother hissed and walked out. “Do not take her word to heart, okay?” Mara touched my face with the makeup brush. That has always been Mara's response towards my mother's maltreatment. I mean who wouldn't take their mother's words to heart? I guessed she was enjoying the show. I entered the white car parked outside the house,on top of it was a flower vase sent by Jackson. Mara said she would be coming with the next car behind, and my mom and I drove to the wedding banquet. ******************************* “Park the car!” My mom commanded but the car was still on motion. “Why mom?” I glanced at her “why should the car been parked when we are not close to the venue” “You now have the right to question my order?!” I could see fiere anger in her eyes as she stared into my eyes. “Not that mom but I need to know why?” “I said park the f*****g car!!” she sneered while her gaze was fixed into mine. The car was parked and before I knew it, I was dragged out of the car. “What's going on?” “I don't want to see any of her things in the car” my mum said as she threw away my bag and other things in the car. “Mum!!! Why!!!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice “what have I done to -” I was interrupted by the sight of a lady who wore the same dress like mine, her hair was packed just like mine and everything was a replica of mine. “No, No, this isn't happening” “Yes Maya, it has happened” my mother replied and glanced at my twin sister who wore the same wedding dress as mine. “Mum?!Mara?! Is this your plan all along?” “How could you be so cruel mom?” “You want to replace me with my twin?” tears dropped out of my eyes. I never knew my mum and my twin could be that cruel. All I have ever done was love them with all my heart but in return they shattered me. “Paa!!” My mother's hand landed on my face “why is it too hard for you to listen? You are no longer the bride of Jackson Walter, is that too hard to accept?” She dragged me on the ground by my hair. I screamed as my skin hurt through my wedding dress on the road, water from my eyes and from my nose mixed up together. She dragged me up and down till I lost all the strength in me. I laid on the ground, watched my mother do a touch up on my sister's face. It felt like a knife passed through my heart and it bled profusely with tears dropping at the corner of my eyes. “Baby, we can't keep the groom waiting” “ Let go seal it as you become the wife of the most connected billionaire in town” “That is it mama” “I love you forever” Mara declared and they entered the car. My mother looked through the window “ Finish her” she spat on me and the car drove away. A big giant body out of the group of men which my mother gave an instruction to finish me grabbed me by my neck. “I'm sorry little girl, resent your mother not me, I'm only doing my job” He carried me across the road to the top of the high building “Please don't kill me” I managed to say in my weak voice. “It is an order and I can't go against it” he responded and grabbed my neck tightly. I held his shirt “please save me, I don't want to die” he gently removed my hand and bent me over the building. My whole life flashed through my eyes and before I knew it, I was thrown down the building. “Please, I want a second chance” “Give me a second chance” “I want my revenge” my heart sobbed and my eyes looked up at the sky as tears dropped in the corner of my eyes. **************** “I want my revenge!” Followed by a feminine scream. That voice sounded very familiar, I tried to locate where the voice came from when I heard a sound in my head. “Beep, beep” “What is that?” I murmured to myself. I tried to take another step when this same sound came again but this time, everywhere seemed dark. “Beep beep” I tried to open my eyes, it was sore and heavy, more like a heavy load was placed on it. After so many struggles, I opened my eyes in a strange room but with a familiar settings “A hospital?!” I jotted up “What happened?!” “Is there a hospital in heaven?!” “Miss Maya, you are awake!” A strange lady who was seated on the sofa said with a sobbing voice. “Am I dead?!” It came out loud abit “ No, you are not” “ you were only unconscious” the strange lady answered and moved closer to me . “ I was given a second chance!” “I was saved!”
