Chapter 2 Back To When The Nightmare Happened

Calista was awoken by the sound of thunder as she lay in the annexe of the Fairchild Manor.

It was nighttime, and the heavy rain pounded against the white bay window. A flash of lightning shone through the window, casting a bright light on her and the messy bed she was lying on.

She could hear faintly two men talking outside. She felt feverish but still tried to get up...

Suddenly she froze. Wait... Wasn't she dead?

She knew this better than anyone else - she couldn't have survived after she pulled out the life support machines.

Her legs had been paralyzed for the past three years too - how were they able to move now?

Calista reached for her legs subconsciously and noticed an emerald ring on her left thumb!

This ring was a present from the Fairchilds upon her engagement, but it was taken away from her when she was eighteen!

The series of shocking revelations made her start to think more clearly.

Heavy rains, a luxurious bungalow room, waking up after being drugged, the men outside...

Could it be that she didn't die but somehow restarted her life? Did life get restarted on the night when the worst nightmare of her life happened?!

Upon realizing this, her first reaction was not joy but terror.

Because if it was really that day then...the two men talking outside were the two scoundrels who wanted to rape her!

In her previous life, she tried to fight back despite being drugged and managed to use a cell phone to hit one of the men's heads, but he hit her back and she fainted. Eventually she woke up from the pain of being tortured by them. Now it was happening again, but this time she regained consciousness earlier than the last time.

Calista's heart started pounding. If everything happened just like the last time, Quincy, together with others, was going to burst into the room to 'catch her in the act' in a few moments.

That was how she was completely disgraced in her previous life and had to call off her engagement. If this was her second chance to live, she was going to save herself this time round! She must get help!
