Chapter 1 1: Rebirth

A team of medical specialists rushed across the room, working frantically to save the patient—the beloved daughter of the renowned businessman Jonathan Miller.

Eveline Miller had fallen from her residential building and was hospitalized in a critical state. She was virtually lifeless, her body battered from the impact, a severe head injury causing a rapid loss of blood. Despite the doctors' best efforts, she remained unresponsive to treatment.

As the medical team struggled to revive Eveline, her soul drifted away from her body.

"Where am I?" Eveline murmured, glancing around the unfamiliar space before her gaze landed on the motionless form lying on the hospital bed.

It took her a moment to recognize herself.

Panic surged through her as she rushed toward the doctor administering CPR.

"Please don't stop! Don't give up on me!" she pleaded, her voice desperate. But no one heard her. No one saw her.

They weren't God, and they couldn't bring back the dead.

"No… I can't die. I won't let them relish in my death." Her voice trembled as images of betrayal flashed before her eyes—the cruel smirk on Tiffany's face as she shoved her off the balcony, and the cold, detached stare of her husband, Gabriel, as he stood by and did nothing.

It was then that the horrifying truth struck her.

Her so-called best friend and the man she had loved since childhood had conspired to kill her.

Eveline had always dreamed of marrying Gabriel, despite the rumors that his heart belonged to another. She had ignored the whispers, convinced herself they were false, and pursued him anyway. But one night changed everything.

A reckless encounter led to a forced marriage, orchestrated by her father, Jonathan, who compelled Gabriel to take responsibility. Gabriel resented her for it. He never wanted the marriage, never hid his disdain. But he had no choice—his father, Richard Winston, had been Jonathan's closest friend and held Eveline in high regard.

For years, Eveline had tried to win Gabriel's affection. She endured his indifference, clung to the rare moments when she thought his icy exterior was thawing. And then, after three years of a loveless marriage, she had conceived his child.

She had believed, naively, that the baby would change things. That Gabriel would finally look at her as more than an obligation.

But now, everything was gone—her life, her child, and the last shred of hope she had clung to.

And the ones responsible were the very people she had trusted the most.

Eveline wept as she stood beside her lifeless body, watching the last light fade from the room.

"If I had another chance… I would never let them destroy me."

A single tear slid down her cheek as darkness consumed her.
