Reborn To Meet The One

She continued to run without looking back. Her jewelries were nowhere to be found. Only one earring remained. Her makeup was smudged, and her full, long hair occasionally covered her face, as the rain continued to beat her. Even the heavens were not on her side. A rumble vibrated the floor she was running on. The thunder was so loud that it could render someone deaf, but she didn't care as she continued running, ignoring the looks pedestrians gave her.She couldn't let those men get her. If they did, she was done for.She finally slowed down, panting really hard, when she arrived at the crossroad. There was nowhere she could run to. Her stepmother's people would definitely find her. She should just give up, right? In a daze, she began to cross to the other side, unaware of a truck driving at utmost speed towards her. She heard the people's scream, but before she could make sense out of it, she was lifted off the ground, thrown in the air, her back hit the top of the truck, then she ro

Just how blinded was she, not to see the sign the traitorous couple were giving her in her past life.Jayden finally walked

The drive home was silent. The party was a disaster. Just what Lily wanted. Jayden had left. She rode with them this time, trying to hide her disgusted face, seeing the crying mother-daughter duo. Rupert was silent and headed directly towards the stairway."I'm sorry, Dad" Marie whimpered. Rupert stopped, walked back to where the two were standing, and landed a slap on her cheek, just like he had done to Lily a year ago. He was a selfish man, no doubt. He prioritized money, work, and reputation over family. Even his dear Marie wasn't left out. Marie went down immediately, from the force of the slap, that everyone thought she was going to faint. Fortunately for Lily, she didn't. If she had, the fun would have ended prematurely. If only she could pop some corn."Are you okay, darling?" Her mother asked. Rupert pointed his index finger at Marie. "You want to spoil the reputation I have worked so hard to build. Do you know how many contracts I will lose because of your foolishness? Do yo
