Biting Back: A Rebirth Story Chapter 1
To celebrate our daughter's eighteenth birthday, my husband, James Miller, decided to go nude cycling. I told him he was too old for that and would embarrass himself, but he looked at me with disdain and said, "Liliana, your life is so boring. You refuse to embrace new things."Then he brought the dog belonging to his first love, Sophia Lewis, and placed it before me. It was then I realized it was Sophia who had organized the nude cycling event. I felt my anger boiling beneath the surface as our son, Thomas, took the leash and handed it to me."Dad, you can go have fun with Sophia. Mom will take care of the dog," Thomas said. But when the dog lunged at me later, Thomas protected it. Meanwhile, my daughter, Alice, fought to shield me.In the end, both Alice and I were bitten to death. James didn't even take us to the hospital. Instead, he dragged our bodies straight to the crematorium.Just before I turned into a wisp of smoke, I saw Alice rolling in the flames. During that time

"Alice!""Woof! Woof! Woof!"I was okay, but my daughter had been bitten right through the thigh. Was my rebirth for nothing? Could I really not change anything?Despair flooded over me as I crawled toward her. I held her tightly and called her name repeatedly.Just then, the wail of sirens finally filled the air.Alice was rushed into the emergency room for stitches. Meanwhile, Thomas stood a short distance away. He was talking on the phone, his face lit up in excitement."Really, Dad? You and Sophia got first place? That's amazing! You and Sophia should go to the celebration together later. No need to pick me up. It's been years since you saw Sophia, and I wouldn't want to get in your way."The dog is fine. Don't worry about Mom. I'm here."With him acting like that, anyone would think Sophia was his real mother.After he hung up, the smile on his face vanished as soon as he saw me. His voice turned cold as he said, "Since you're okay, I'll head back to the office. They'

"Liliana, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. If you want to hit or scold someone, direct it at me! Lily is just a dog! It doesn't understand anything."At the mention of the dog's name, I froze. "What did you say the dog's name was?""Lily! Don't worry. Lily's name isn't the same as yours. It just sounds similar."Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and covered her mouth in panic, looking at James for help.James's heart softened instantly as he pulled Sophia up. "Why are you apologizing to her? I've said it was an accident. It's not your fault, and it's not Lily's fault either."I watched the two of them, their harmony driving me over the edge. The accumulated grievances and anger from two lifetimes felt like they were going to drown me.My daughter still lay in the hospital bed, her exposed skin stitched up in large sections. Just lifting the blanket would reveal the twisted scars beneath.Yet, James didn't even glance at her. He didn't even ask how she was doing. His gaze wa

James jumped up and pointed a finger at me, his face twisted with rage. "Have you lost your mind? You want a divorce? Don't you care about your reputation? Liliana, you're fifty this year. What kind of man do you think you can find after leaving me?"James was once a top student, but now he was just a bloated, greasy man. There was nothing about him worth holding onto.I didn't respond to his taunts. Instead, I advised, "Since you cheated, you'll leave with nothing."Before he could retort, my son joined in to scold me. "Mom, you can't be so greedy."I ignored him, knowing James would sign the papers.People were often trapped by what they couldn't have when they were young. James was no exception.Besides, the initial funds for his second business came from my family's funds, and we had a signed agreement.James seemed to remember that as well. He fell silent for a moment. "The agreement stated I would get sixty percent of the shares. Why should I leave with nothing?""Because

My journey as an influencer was going smoothly. My first video was a small hit.The comments section was filled with praise.[So much like a mom!][Madam, you're amazing! I followed your instructions to cook from the step where you wash the vegetables, and it turned out really delicious!][From today on, Liliana is my digital mom, no cap.]My daughter excitedly held the phone and shared the news with me.As I read through the comments, tears started to fall.When I used to cook for James, he always looked impatient. He would complain that the food was too bland, too greasy, too sweet, or too spicy. No matter what I made, it never measured up to the plate of pasta his lover made for him."That plate of pasta back then was really something. Sophia only added a little cheese, but I'll remember it for the rest of my life."I couldn't understand it then—how could a plate of pasta with just some sprinkled cheese be that good?Now that I was divorced and had escaped the confines of

Before my ex-husband and son could continue harassing me over the phone, I took Sophia to court.I charged her with assault.When the dog suddenly attacked me, I found it strange. Why did it only come after me and not my daughter or son beside me?So, I hired a private investigator to look into it.After three months, I finally pieced together the truth.Sophia and James had been involved for years, long before I even suspected anything. When I wasn't home, he brought her to our house and took her to our bed.Just the thought of it made me feel sick.The private investigator showed me several photos, all featuring clothes I had once lost.It turned out the dog hadn't attacked randomly. Sophia had let the dog sniff my clothes over time, training it to recognize my scent and then consciously teaching it to attack anyone with that smell.I couldn't tell how much James was involved, but it didn't matter. I was determined to make them both pay.In court, Sophia vehemently denied t

"Liliana, I regret it. Please forgive me. I just made the same mistake that all men make. Isn't it better late than never? I've changed, Liliana."James kept knocking on the door, his voice filled with pleas.But I felt nothing inside—just annoyance.I wanted to pretend I didn't hear him, but the noise drew complaints from the neighbors, forcing me to open the door.I cracked it open just a little and warned him, "Get lost. I have nothing to say to you."James pushed against the door, trying to force his way in. "Liliana, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. After you left, I realized I couldn't live without you."I miss you and your cooking. I haven't eaten well since you left, and I can't even find a tie that matches my shirt. We have two kids. Can you really bear to let them grow up in a single-parent household?"That statement finally set me off. I yanked the door handle backwards, and in an instant, his fingers got caught in the door."My hand—Liliana, stop!"I p
