His Cruelty, Her Rebirth

His Cruelty, Her Rebirth

Romance
3.5
I died once, charred by the flames that consumed me in a house set ablaze by the man who vowed to destroy me. On his 23rd birthday, I was reborn back to a day they called the "blind pick," where 20 women vied for the chance to become Ethan Thompson' s wife. In my past life, I drew the red card, believing it a fairytale beginning, only for Ethan to blame me when his true love, Scarlett, died in a car accident he barely remembered. He never believed me, never listened, his hatred burning hotter than any love we once shared. He dragged me into our home, his eyes filled with terrifying darkness. "You took her from me," he whispered, tightening his hands around my throat. "Now I'll take everything from you." He beat me, doused the room in gasoline, and watched with twisted satisfaction as I burned, branded a murderer and unloved. Reborn, I found Scarlett, the true manipulator, still alive, ready to claim Ethan' s love. I avoided the red card that day, trying to escape a cursed fate Ethan, still the monster, forced me on my knees, made me watch him brutally murder my beloved dog, Sunny, and then cooked it for me to eat. He coerced me into donating my kidney to Scarlett, claiming I owed her, all while Scarlett and her mother, Maria, gloated about their deception, admitting they engineered every twisted event after my original death. Why did they do this? How could Ethan be so blind, so cruel, after I saved his life? But this time, I wouldn't be a victim. I signed the organ donation papers, but my escape was already in motion, orchestrated by my family and a forgotten friend.

My masterpiece, "Greenhaven," was about to change the world. Five years of my life, my soul, poured into sustainable architecture, culminating tonight in a grand unveiling. I scanned the ballroom for David, my fiancé, my partner in work and life. We were a team, meant to marry after this launch. But he was distant, cloaked in late-night meetings, telling me to trust him. Then I saw him on stage, not with me, but with Victoria Hayes, my ruthless rival, her arm possessively around his waist. The CEO announced "Elysian Fields," a project backed by David Thompson and Victoria Hayes. My designs flashed on screen, every detail mine, but my name was nowhere. The applause was thunderous. David leaned into the microphone, his smile sickeningly bright. "Victoria has not only been my partner in business but has become the partner of my heart. We're engaged." Cameras flashed, capturing their faces, the thieves who stole my life's work and my future. My phone vibrated: a text from my boss. "Don't come to the office tomorrow. You're done. We can't be associated with this kind of scandal." Blacklisted, ruined. In one moment, I lost my project, my fiancé, my career. My world, built around David, crumbled. I stumbled out into the night, nowhere to go. My apartment was our apartment; my friends our friends. I had one last, desperate hope: my estranged uncle Robert. He was a disgraced civil engineer, a recluse I hadn't spoken to in a decade. "Sarah?" he answered, his voice raspy. "Uncle Robert," I choked, "I need help. I have nowhere else to go." A long pause, then: "I have a car coming for you. It will be there in twenty minutes. It will bring you to me." He hung up. Sliding down the cold brick wall, I understood. I was leaving my old life behind, a lie. I was running toward a future I couldn't imagine, a future that began with a man I barely knew. My only family left. But the betrayal didn't stop there. Weeks later, David arrived at my uncle's, demanding I sign away my design rights, threatening to sue me for breach of partnership. Victoria emerged, displaying expertly faked emails framing me for industrial espionage. "Sign the papers, Sarah," Victoria hissed. "Or this gets leaked to every news outlet and the district attorney. Industrial espionage carries a hefty prison sentence." Just when I thought I was utterly trapped, two large men grabbed me. "Take her. We'll hold her somewhere she can have time to reconsider her position." I was thrown into a car, plunged into darkness. They weren't just destroying my career; they were taking my freedom. The cold isolation in their private facility was designed to break me, but it only fueled my rage. Victoria appeared, demanding I sign a confession, cementing their false narrative. "No," I defied. The guard tasered me. But the real breaking point came when Victoria, with chilling calm, slammed a heavy book onto my hand, twisting my fingers at unnatural angles. "Architects are nothing without their hands," she sneered. My scream echoed the agony and a new, burning hatred. They were celebrating their wedding in my designed atrium in two days, while I was imprisoned, crippled. They aimed to destroy me, but they had only forged me into something stronger. This was no longer about a career or a broken heart. This was about justice. This was war.

The day my parents told me I was transferring schools, my world ended for the first time. "Leo is a bad influence. A musician with no future, and he's too old for you," my mother stated, her lips a thin, unforgiving line. Two weeks later, I was adrift in the sterile halls of Northgate Prep, an art portfolio heavy in my hand, feeling like a ghost. Then I met Ethan. He seemed to light up the gray afternoon, a kind, talented musician who understood my dreams of New York and the Ashton Conservatory. Our pact to conquer the city together felt like a promise of a masterpiece. But the night before our audition, he handed me a "herbal supplement" that made the world tilt. I remember his whispered "I'm sorry, Chloe" just before he left me disoriented and helpless in a dark, grimy alley. I woke up to a pounding head, a filthy, torn dress, and a missed audition. A video of me, vulnerable and incoherent in that alley, had gone viral. My mother disowned me, her rage shaking the very foundations of my life. My quiet father, broken, showed me a text from an unknown number: "How does it feel to see your daughter's future ruined?" Five years passed in a haze of medication and therapists, the vibrant artist replaced by a frightened woman. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, and PTSD-a living ghost of the girl I once was. Why me? What had really happened that night? Then, Ethan reappeared. He found me in my squalid apartment, filled with profound sadness, and took me in, promising to fix everything. He cared for me, he loved me, or so I thought, as he meticulously rebuilt the gilded cage around my shattered life.

The scent of expensive perfume and cheap ambition hung heavy in our penthouse, a silent testament to David' s reign. He paraded aspiring influencers through our home like trophies, their bright young faces a constant reminder of the life he flaunted. I, Sarah Miller, the successful interior designer, was merely an accessory, observing from the periphery as he draped his arm around a blonde named Tiffany, asking me to help her pick a profile theme color. My reflection in the glass showed a stillness, a silent defiance to his polished, empty smile. Later, after the glitter and champagne spills were gone, he cornered me, not with affection, but with business: "We need to be more aggressive with fertility treatments. I' ve scheduled you a new consultation for Monday." Three years of invasive tests, painful injections, and crushing disappointment, now weaponized against me. Then came the ultimate blow: he wanted to use a surrogate, one of them, for his legacy, expecting me to manage it. The humiliation was a physical weight, pressing down on my chest as he pulled me into a hollow embrace, whispering, "You' re the only one I love, Sarah." The very next day, a new girl, Emily, was paraded through the penthouse, her wide, innocent eyes mocking my reality. He kissed her, deeply, passionately, right in front of me, then looked straight into my eyes before turning back to her with a whisper that made her giggle. That night, sitting in my design studio, the last piece of this life that was truly mine, I drew a line. A final, absolute line that would redefine everything.

My life, once a vibrant canvas of architectural dreams, had become a masterpiece of quiet devotion to my husband, David, and our son, Ethan. Then came Victoria Chase, David' s sleek, ambitious business partner, and her "Aura" brand-a wellness empire built on hollow promises. Suddenly, my gifted ten-year-old, Ethan, whose art was his very soul, was deemed a "liability," his vibrant oil-and-turpentine world clashing with Victoria' s sterile, minimalist vision. David, blinded by ambition and Victoria' s deceptive charm, whisked Ethan away to a mysterious "Pathways Institute" – a place Victoria touted as "creative re-education" but which sent a chill down my spine. "They help children channel their talents into more constructive, marketable, and socially acceptable forms," he' d said, a chilling echo of parental consent disguising something far more sinister. My desperate pleas, my warnings of psychological damage, were met with David' s contempt: "You, with your failed architecture career and your outdated, sentimental ideas about 'art' … You don' t get a vote." Just two weeks later, the phone call came, flat and devoid of emotion: "Ma'am, there's been an incident. He's gone. A massive cerebral hemorrhage." While David and Victoria celebrated their launch on a lavish yacht, popping champagne and basking in their "perfect success," my brilliant, hopeful boy lay in a cold morgue. My world shattered, then coalesced into a razor-sharp fury as I called David, his party' s laughter a grotesque backdrop to my guttural announcement: "Ethan is dead. While you were popping champagne with your mistress." I declared total war upon his very existence: "This is not just me leaving you, David. This is me erasing you… You have no son. You have nothing. You lost it all today. I hope your brand was worth it." The "Miller women," my grandmother used to say, "feel things deeper… When we are betrayed, the world feels it." Now, the world would indeed feel the shattering of my heart, and the ancient knowing awakened within me, ready to reclaim what was mine and unleash the cosmic balance they had so carelessly broken.

My father' s FDNY badge wasn't just a piece of metal; it was the last tangible piece of my hero, a sacred legacy I cherished above all else. My socialite wife, Chloe, tossed it to her ex-boyfriend, Julian, like a cheap souvenir, igniting a cruel chain of events that would devastate our lives. When our seven-year-old son, Leo, bravely tried to reclaim his grandfather' s stolen badge, Chloe punished him by sending him to a brutal "behavioral modification" camp in the desolate Utah wilderness. Days later, I found my bright, sensitive boy in a sterile Utah hospital room, lying in a coma, his small body ravaged by severe dehydration and hypothermia, clinging to life after a horrific "reflection exercise." As I sat by his bedside, paralyzed by terror and helplessness, my phone buzzed with a taunting text from Julian: a smug picture of him and Chloe, glowing with happiness, accompanied by the chilling words, "Chloe's pregnant. Our little family is starting. Time for you to move on, buddy." My world shattered with a sickening crunch, replaced by a searing, all-consuming rage as I comprehended that my son was dying because of her unbelievable cruelty, yet she was celebrating a new life with the very man responsible for his torment. How could the woman I married, the mother of my child, betray her own son so utterly, choosing a manipulative, parasitic ex over our child' s desperate fight for survival? Yet, in that sterile, echoing hospital room, a cold, unwavering resolve took root deep within me; I didn't call Chloe, who was too busy basking in her new life, but instead dialed the one man powerful enough to dismantle their entire twisted world: my father-in-law. This wasn't just about my son's desperate recovery or a bitter divorce anymore; this was about unleashing an unstoppable reckoning that would make them pay for every single ounce of pain they inflicted upon my innocent child.

The phone rang near midnight, a jarring sound that sliced through the quiet of my small apartment, a familiar dread seizing me before I even picked up. It was the hospital, informing me my brilliant, valedictorian son, Alex, had been in an accident while working a late-night delivery shift, ending the call with the words no parent should ever hear: "He didn't make it." My world shattered, I rushed to City General, only to stumble upon a scene that made the grief even more unbearable: my seemingly frugal wife, Jessica, in a shimmering gown, showering a stranger's son with a luxury car and a downtown loft at a lavish hotel party. The horrifying realization crashed over me: the "stranger's son," Jake, was the hit-and-run driver who killed Alex, and Jessica knew, choosing to protect him, the child of her old flame, over our own son. At Alex's somber burial, as his small casket was lowered, Jessica abandoned us, rushing off because Jake had a "migraine," her tire crushing the simple flowers our neighbor laid at Alex's graveside. My grief twisted into a cold, unyielding rage, the agony in my chest mirroring the gnawing pain in my gut, later diagnosed as terminal cancer, a life worn down by sacrifices she never needed to make. How could the woman I loved, the partner I trusted for two decades, have maintained such a monstrous charade, building a fortune while we barely scraped by, all for another man and his son? With nothing left but a few months to live, I walked away from the city, from the lies, but the story wasn't over for Jessica, whose own dark quest for atonement was just beginning.
