Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 1 Poison

The prison was chillingly cold, filled with a strong stench of blood.

“Why…” Madelyn was painfully curled up on the ground, the oversized prison garb enveloping her and accentuating her frail, emaciated body.

A violent coughing fit racked her body, and blood gushed out of her mouth.

The pain was unbearable.

It felt as though ten thousand knives were churning in her stomach, causing such intense pain that her vision started to darken.

The poison was terrifyingly potent, even piercing her guts.

“Why… Why are you treating me like this?” Madelyn mustered all her strength to lift her head, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred as she stared at the prisoner before her.

“Hehe, are you asking why I poisoned your food?” The prisoner laughed cruelly, looking down at the woman kneeling on the ground with a mix of disdain and pity. “Someone paid me to kill you. Your very existence stands in the way of her happiness!”

“Who?” Madelyn braced her stomach with her knee, struggling to maintain a shred of consciousness.

“Fine, since you’re already on the brink of death, I’ll tell you who it is so you can rest in peace. Aren’t you going to marry Mr. Lockhart? That’s why she doesn’t want you around! Once you’re gone, they can be together…”

The excruciating pain coursed through her body, engulfing her nerve endings in torment.

Despite the agony, a woman’s face flashed through her mind, albeit fleetingly.
