Rebirth Into My Second Chance

I felt the world blur as I inadvertently slammed into the steering wheel, hunger gnawing at my insides.

A hand instinctively clutched at my stomach. 'My child. Am I going to lose my child again?'

A wave of excruciating pain swept over me as if I were pleading in a dark void or being torn apart. The pain was unbearable.

A bucket of ice-cold water was thrown over me, snapping me back to reality.

Blinking my eyes open, I wasn't in a quaint mountain cabin but an abandoned, cavernous factory. It was my rebirth, another life.

I got kidnapped. Again.

"Mph..." A muffled struggle sounded beside me. Turning, I saw Kate tightly bound as well.

A sick part of me was relieved. This time, I wasn't alone in my misery. My thoughts must get twisted to have found solace in someone else's suffering. One of the kidnappers, with a ski mask obscuring his face, removed the gag from Kate's mouth.

Kate yelled, "Who are you people? Do you even know who I am? I'm Kate Goodwin, from the well-known Goodwin family!"

The kidnapper chuckled, "We know. That's why we can demand a hefty ransom. Call your folks. We want ten million dollars, or you're dead meat."
