Reborn Wife

Chapter 1 

A spine-tingling thunder rumbled overhead.

It was a rainy month in June.

Olivia's body was covered in bl--d.

The cruel woman stepped on her back.

"You never learned to let go of your pride and lower your head, Olivia; she said, "Alright, then, I'll break your bones one by one!"

She gestured with her head, and the two men behind her stepped forward.

Poor Olivia! She had been tortured so much for too long she was unrecognizable, but at that point, she knew this would be her last stand.

Even so, she stubbornly raised her head and stared directly at the woman.

Her bright eyes were the only distinguishable feature on her bl--dy face.

With lightning flashing across the sky, the scene was exceptionally menacing.

"Why are you still standing there?" the woman demanded.

"Throw her in! I want to see how the dead can go against me in the future!"

The two men nodded their heads.

They kicked Olivia into the swamp as if she were nothing more than an insignificant, tattered sack.

She knew she was going to die today.

It was because of her own foolishness; she could blame no one but herself.

However, she refused to go down without a fight.

She anxiously flapped around, struggling to keep to the surface.

As she drifted in and out of consciousness, she saw her life flashback before her eyes.

Once, she had been the daughter of the noble Clements Clan, doted on by everyone.

But then she got blinded by love; she cut ties with her family for her fiancé, whom she had been in love with for five years.

That completely destroyed the family; her father was angered to death, her mother ki--ed herself by setting fire to their villa, and her younger brother drank poison and turned mute.

She had been stupid all this time; she could not believe how naive she was! But in choosing her fiancé, did she truly deserve to lose her family? All of it was so absurd! And as Olivia welcomed the thought of death, she was almost relieved because of it.

She just wanted to laugh—laugh at this stupid and ridiculous life! Standing on the bank not far away from her, the woman smirked, clearly savoring her victory.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you,’’ she said as if she just had an afterthought.

"I felt bad for your father.Your father died because I pulled the pipe from his oxygen tank.I also set that fire in the villa and ki--ed your mother.And I was the one who poisoned your brother.I even had your fiancé in my bed, too.”

“You blame yourself for being stupid” the woman continued, "therefore allowing me to acquire all of your riches."

She laughed loudly.

Trembling with rage, a growl formed in Olivia's throat as she glared daggers at the woman.

‘Maggie, you will pay for this!’ she wanted to say, but when she opened her mouth, water and muck filled her nose, suffocating her.

She sank to the bottom.

Everything was dark, and she felt empty, except for the burning and inextinguishable hatred that settled in her heart.

Another thunderclap echoed through. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Olivia woke up screaming, sunlight beaming at her face through the leaves.

She was lying in a field in the suburbs, soaked and miserable.

She gasped.

This scene...

This was her eighteenth birthday, the day when she invited a group of classmates and friends to the suburbs.

This was also the day when she confessed her affection to her fiancé, Leonard Tubman.

She could clearly remember how her sincere but clumsy confession was received.

In front of everyone, Leonard scoffed at her.

"Olivia, even if you're the only one girl left in the world?” he said, "I would never fall for you."

The cruel and heartless remark broke her heart.

She ran off, but she lost her way and was caught in the rain.

Then, she slid off a short slope, sprained her leg, and promptly fainted.

Thinking back on it, she wanted to slap her own face.

But the moment she raised her hand, she discovered that they were soft and unmarked.

There were no traces of the scratches from Maggie's torture, nor was there any pain from broken bones in her body.

She...she was dead, right? She died on that swamp rainy night.Or...

Olivia's heart skipped a beat when she pinched herself; it hurt.

It was real.

She actually came back to life, and she was reborn on her eighteenth birthday!

"The heavens have eyes..."

She smiled as tears rolled down her cheeks.

The past was not a dream.

Everything that had happened was deeply etched in her mind.

In her previous life, she had been foolish enough to let her uncle's family come to their house; it gave Maggie a lot of opportunities to take advantage of them.

Now, she had the advantage over her cousin, Maggie Peterson.

She now had a deep understanding of just how cruel and greedy a human heart could get.

The heavens must have taken pity of her.

During this time, all the disasters in the Clements Clan had not happened yet, and she still had a chance to redeem herself.

In this life, she swore she would take revenge on everyone who had wronged her.

She furiously wiped the tears off her face, and just as she was about to get up, her phone buzzed in her pocket.

It was a call from Leonard.

They had been childhood best friends.

And for many years now, she had been chasing after him relentlessly.

From the beginning, it had all been a one-sided affair.

And then, Leonard offered her a deal.

He promised that he would marry her on the condition that she would take the blame from Leonard's true love and go to ja-l for it.

She readily agreed.

She broke off her relationship with her parents, which angered her father to the point of being hospitalized.

She was released from prison five years later.

But the only thing Leonard said to her then was, "You don't deserve me.Recalling her foolishness, Olivia smiled and picked up the phone.” Leonard's cold and annoyed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Olivia, can you stop running off?" he demanded.

"If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't have called you.Stop dreaming.I'm never going to like you in this lifetime!"

Those were the exact same words as what had happened in her previous life.

She imagined he had a disgusted look on his face at that moment.

Olivia rubbed her chin.

She wondered what she had told him in her previous life.

"I can change myself for you, Leonard” she had said.There was desperation in her voice.

"Whatever you want from me, I can provide it.Please accept me.I really can't live without you..."

She clicked her tongue.

Then, she smiled, getting ready for what she was about to say to him this time, "Go away!"
