Rebirth: Redefining My Fate Chapter 1 Rebirth

Chapter 1

In my previous life, I was framed for cheating in the college entrance examination and was banned from taking the exam for three years. My future was completely ruined. While my twin sister successfully entered the USC School of Cinematic Arts and became a top female star in the entertainment industry, I ended up working in a factory doing menial tasks. One evening, I was robbed and killed on my way home, left unclaimed in the outskirts.

Upon my rebirth, I kept my sister's admission ticket hidden. I reported my abusive parents to the police.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day of the English speech contest in my second year of high school. I sat backstage, waiting for the host to announce the results of the speech contest. Just like in my previous life, I won first place. The first-place winner would represent the school in the city-wide high school English speech contest.

"Phoebe, the principal wants to see the top three in his office."

In my previous life, the principal had used the excuse of a faint red birthmark on my forehead, claiming it affected the school's image, to let Elodie, who came in second, take my place in the contest. He even gave her my speech to memorize in full.

I borrowed Lena's phone and discreetly started recording, giving her a knowing look before slipping it into my pocket.

"How can someone with that appearance represent our school? I think Elodie would be a much better choice."

The principal patted Elodie on the shoulder, taking the speech from my hands and shoving it into hers. Elodie shot me a proud, sideways glance.

"Principal, I have a question. Does having a good appearance represent the school's image? Does that mean those who aren't good-looking can't be on stage?"

In the past, I would have endured it, handing over what was rightfully mine, even to the sister who bullied me, letting her bask in the limelight.

In this life, I wanted to see who could take anything from me.

"Phoebe, you're too young to be so calculating. This concerns the school's honor. Don't be overly concerned with gains and losses."

See, those in authority are always so evasive. They never answer your question directly, always finding a way to gaslight you.

"Oh, I just think the birthmark on my forehead is also my honor. But since it's for the good of the school, I'll withdraw."

The video of the principal talking to me was posted online, along with a clip of my speech.

On Facebook, the principal of Eahgow High School quickly became a trending topic on social media.

"When did schools start joining the appearance club?"

"Abandoning noble character and inner qualities to pursue a noble appearance-so this is the standard for selecting talent in schools."

"If our top universities selected students based on looks, I probably wouldn't even see the threshold."

"If scientific researchers all pursued beautiful appearances, Pheah's scientific research would regress by a million years."

"I can't imagine the University of Oxford without Andrew Wiles. How many years would the math department fall behind other countries?"

"Actually, the second-place winner is also excellent. The principal's actions are understandable if he's trying to secure first place for the school."

"To the commenter above, Andrew Wiles is first, a first by a landslide. No one can be second. First is just the limit of ranking, not his limit."

...

The internet went into an uproar, with discussions growing louder and louder. Some even began to discuss the current state of the entertainment industry, saying, "If you can't write a noble soul, you can only write about noble birth and appearance."

I couldn't help but chuckle.

The education bureau couldn't sit still and immediately issued a statement. The principal was removed from his position and reassigned to another school. Elodie was disqualified.

I represented the school in the city-wide English speech contest and ultimately returned victorious with second place.

"Phoebe, who do you think you are to compete with me?" As soon as I returned to school, Elodie and her clique cornered me in the girls' bathroom.

No one knew that Elodie and I were actually fraternal twins. She stood at 170 cm, nurtured by our parents' love since childhood, with a round, smooth face and large, captivating eyes that sparkled when she smiled.

Because a fortune teller had said my birthmark was unlucky and would bring misfortune to my parents' business, I was sent to live with my grandparents in the countryside. They also believed I brought bad luck and often neglected to feed me, leaving me skinny and frail, barely reaching 162 cm.

Our parents ran a ceramics business. Though not extremely wealthy, they didn't need to scrimp and save. We always lived in a villa.

I was brought back to attend high school because I had studied hard and gotten into the city's top high school on my own merit.

My parents were afraid people would discover their 'unlucky' child, so they insisted on leaving the parents' section blank on school forms. At school, I couldn't say I was their child. After school, Elodie always had a chauffeur to pick her up, while I had to walk home by myself for half an hour.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

For three years, I was the perfect trophy wife to billionaire Hunt Brennan, a silent fixture in his mahogany-rowed estate. I traded my medical career for a designer wardrobe and the hope that he might one day see me as more than a contract. But on our third anniversary, the dream died. Hunt came home reeking of scotch and threw grainy photos of a charity gala handshake in my face, calling me a gold-digging parasite. He didn't just accuse me; he broke me. He shattered glass against the wall, bruised my jaw with his grip, and dragged me upstairs to "punish" me, all while whispering his ex-girlfriend’s name in the dark. By morning, his mother had called to evict me to the guest cottage because his true love, Chasity, was back and needed the master suite. I left with nothing but a dusty suitcase and a secret: two pink lines on a pregnancy test. When my Uber broke down in a freezing downpour, Hunt drove past me in his Maybach, rolling down the window just to tell me to enjoy the rain. He left me stranded, never knowing he was leaving his own child behind. I didn't understand how a man could be so cruel to the woman who gave up everything for him. Did he really think I was just a doll he could discard the moment his "angel" returned? Four years later, the "submissive" Mrs. Brennan was dead. In her place stood Dr. Dianna Campbell, the top cardiothoracic surgeon in Europe. I stepped off the helicopter at Mount Sinai to save his sister’s life, and Hunt was there, desperate and broken. "Dianna?" He whispered my name like a prayer, but I didn't even blink. "Dr. Campbell. Refrain from touching the staff, Mr. Brennan." He thought he could shred our divorce papers to keep me trapped, but he was about to learn that the woman he abandoned in the rain didn't need his permission to exist—and she certainly didn't need him.

I woke up in a sterile hospital room with no memory of the lethal-looking man pacing outside the glass. My friend told me he was Dante Moretti, the Underboss of Chicago, and the fiancé I had supposedly worshipped for seven years. But the truth shattered me faster than the crash did. When our convoy was ambushed and the car caught fire, Dante didn't pull me out. He chose to save Valeria—the widow of a soldier he felt guilty about—leaving me to burn in the backseat. He called it a "tactical decision." I called it a death sentence. I thought losing my memory was a curse, but it was a gift. It stripped away the delusion of love. I saw a man who treated me like a useful piece of furniture. I saw a rival in Valeria who smirked while taking my job and my place. When she set a room on fire to frame me, Dante saved her again, leaving me to choke on the smoke. He even branded me a thief in front of the entire Commission to protect her lies. He thought I would always be there, the obedient statue waiting for his scraps. He was wrong. I fled to New York and walked straight into the arms of his sworn enemy, Enzo Falcone. A man who didn't just promise to protect me, but walked through fire to do it. Months later, when Dante finally realized the truth and crawled back to me in the rain, begging for a second chance, I looked him dead in the eye. "Forgetting you was the only peace I ever knew." I took Enzo’s hand, letting Dante see exactly what he had lost. "Remembering you just confirmed that you are a mistake I will never make again."

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
