Standing on the edge of a limestone quarry in the pouring rain, I thought we were just having another family argument. Then my mother, Ardell, screamed that I'd let the life insurance lapse, and my brother, Hakeem, stepped out of the shadows with a cold, calculating look in his eyes. I told them I knew the truth-that Hakeem had cut the brake lines on my father's car-but they didn't flinch. Instead, Hakeem shoved me hard, sending me tumbling into the abyss. I hit a jagged ledge thirty feet down, the sound of my spine snapping like a dry branch echoing through the rain. As I lay paralyzed and broken, my mother watched from above, asking if I was dead yet, before Hakeem whistled for the starving wild dogs that lived in the quarry floor. "Nature will clean up the mess," Hakeem said, walking away while the first set of teeth sank into my throat. The agony was a tidal wave, but the rage was hotter, a nuclear hatred for the family that stole my future and the daughter I'd never see grow up. I died in that dirt, consumed by fire and teeth, wondering how a mother could choose a car payment over her own child's life. But then, I gasped for air, sitting bolt upright in my old trailer bedroom. I looked at the calendar: May 12, 2014. I was seventeen again, but I wasn't the same girl. Inside this malnourished body was the mind of a world-class trauma surgeon and the elite hacker known as 'Phantom.' This time, I wasn't going to the quarry; I was going for their throats.

Reborn Surgeon: The Billionaire’s Secret Obsession Chapter 1 1

Rain did not wash things clean.

That was a lie people told themselves to make the storms bearable.

Here, on the edge of the limestone quarry, the rain only made things heavy. It soaked into Karly Lowe's oversized sweatshirt, dragging the cotton against her skin like a second, suffocating layer. It turned the dirt beneath her converse sneakers into a slick, treacherous paste.

She shivered. The cold was not just in the air. It was in her marrow.

Two meters away, Ardell Lowe stood with her back to the wind. She wasn't looking at the view. She was looking at a document in her hands. The paper was wet, the ink likely running, but Karly knew what it was.

A life insurance policy.

"You let it lapse," Ardell screamed over the wind. Her hair was plastered to her skull, making her face look skeletal. "The payment for the car! You let the insurance lapse before your father crashed!"

Karly took a step back. Her heel caught on a loose rock. The stone tumbled over the edge, clattering down into the abyss. It took a long time to hit the bottom.

"I didn't," Karly said. Her voice was a broken thing, raspy from crying, raspy from the screaming match that had started in the trailer and ended here. "I paid it. I showed you the receipt."

"Liar!"

Hakeem stepped out from behind Ardell. He cupped his hands around a lighter, the flame illuminating the hollows of his eyes. He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled smoke that was instantly snatched away by the gale.

"She's lying, Ma," Hakeem said. His voice was calm. Terrifyingly calm. "She kept the money. Probably spent it on books. Or stash."

"I paid it!" Karly shouted, the injustice burning her throat like acid. "And it wasn't an accident! The brakes lines were cut! I saw the shears in your truck, Hakeem!"

The air between them changed.

It stopped being about money. It stopped being about a family argument.

Hakeem dropped the cigarette. He ground it out with the toe of his boot. He looked at Ardell. Ardell looked at Karly. There was no love in that look. There wasn't even anger anymore.

There was only calculation.

"You know too much," Hakeem said. He took a step forward.

Karly turned. She tried to run toward the line of trees that marked the road, but her left leg gave way. Hakeem had kicked her in the shin back at the house. The pain flared hot and white, buckling her knee.

She scrambled, fingers clawing at the mud.

A hand shoved her back. Hard.

Gravity reversed.

The world tilted. The gray sky swapped places with the brown earth. For a second, Karly was flying.

Then she hit.

The impact was a thunderclap inside her own skull.

She landed on a ledge of jagged shale, thirty feet down. The sound of her spine snapping was louder than the rain. It was a dry, crisp crack, like a dead branch stepping on a winter morning.

She tried to scream, but her lungs refused to expand.

Pain didn't come immediately. It waited, hovering, letting the shock settle in first. Then it arrived, a tidal wave of agony that started at her waist and obliterated everything else.

She couldn't move her legs. She couldn't feel her feet.

Above her, on the lip of the cliff, a flashlight beam cut through the gloom. It danced over her broken body.

"Is she dead?" Ardell's voice drifted down, distorted by the distance.

Hakeem whistled. A low, sharp sound.

From the shadows of the quarry floor, movement. Low shapes. Growls that vibrated in the wet air. Wild dogs. They lived in the scrap heaps, starving and vicious.

They smelled the blood before Karly felt it leaving her body.

"Let's go, Ma," Hakeem called out. "Nature will clean up the mess."

Karly watched the flashlight beam retreat. She watched the darkness close in.

The first set of teeth sank into her calf. She felt the pressure, the tearing of muscle, but the pain was distant now. Her body was shutting down.

Rage.

It was the only thing keeping her heart beating. It wasn't fear. It wasn't sadness for the daughter she would never see grow up. Not just sadness, anyway. It was a white-hot, hollow grief for Hope, a name she'd only had the chance to whisper for three years. A face she could barely recall through the agony. It was a pure, nuclear hatred.

If I come back, she thought, as a set of jaws clamped around her throat. I will burn you all.

The darkness swallowed her whole.

...

Gasp.

Air rushed into her lungs so violently her ribs cracked.

Karly sat bolt upright. Her hands flew to her throat, clawing at intact skin. No blood. No teeth marks.

Her heart hammered against her sternum, a frantic bird trapped in a cage. Thump-thump-thump.

She looked around.

Wood paneling. Peeling beige wallpaper. A water stain on the ceiling shaped like a Rorschach test.

The trailer. Her old room.

She looked at her hands. They were small. Thin. The knuckles weren't scarred yet.

She turned her head to the calendar on the wall. A picture of a kitten in a basket.

May 12, 2014.

Outside the thin aluminum walls, a voice screeched.

"Shut that damn dog up or I'll poison it myself!"

Ardell.

Karly swung her legs over the side of the narrow mattress. Her feet hit the linoleum floor. It was cold. Solid.

She stood up and walked to the cracked mirror taped to the back of the door.

A seventeen-year-old girl stared back. Hollow cheeks. Dark circles under eyes that looked too old for her face.

Karly Lowe touched the glass.

She wasn't the victim anymore. She wasn't the girl who died in the quarry.

Inside this malnourished teenage body was the mind of a thirty-year-old trauma surgeon. A hacker known only as 'Phantom'. A woman who had advised billionaires.

She picked up a chipped utility knife from the desk. She slid the blade out. Click. Click.

The sound was the only music she needed.

I was Grayson Warren’s "broken doll," a disgraced socialite kept on a short leash to pay off my family’s debts. To the world, I was a fragile liability; to Grayson, I was a pet he could humiliate for sport, forcing me to play the role of a mentally unstable girl while I secretly gathered evidence against his empire. The cruelty peaked when Grayson forced me to break three years of sobriety in front of his investors, mocking my struggle before making me kneel on a golf course to scrub his shoes. He treated my life like a game, literally betting my sanity against a corporate board seat while he soft-launched a new relationship with a high-profile PR queen. When the pressure triggered a massive panic attack, Grayson abandoned me in a private clinic just so he wouldn't miss a dinner reservation. Even my own mother turned against me, threatening to leak my psychiatric records and brand me a "violent delusional" if I didn't beg for Grayson’s forgiveness. I was trapped between a man who owned my debt and a mother who valued her estate over my daughter’s life. I realized then that they would never let me go; they would only break me until there was nothing left. They thought they had erased my soul, but they forgot I was the only witness to the night my true love, Felix, was murdered. I was done being the victim. I faked a suicide jump off the Queensboro Bridge to go off the grid, then crashed Grayson’s elite gala in a dress that signaled his downfall. Just as Grayson tried to physically crush me one last time, the room went silent. Felix Law, the man the world thought was dead for three years, walked out of the shadows with a federal warrant in his hand. "Take your hands off her, Warren." The game didn't just change; it ended. Felix was back from the dead, and this time, we were burning the empire to the ground together.

My husband studied the fertility report on his desk with the same cold precision he used to order executions. On our fifth anniversary, he didn't give me diamonds. He checked his Rolex and delivered the sentence that ended my life. "Your genetic profile is defective, Catarina." He didn't just ask for a divorce. He pressed a button on his intercom, and a woman walked in. She was loud, chewing gum, and wearing a dress that was too tight. "This is Aria," Alex said, his voice flat. "She is a vessel. She will carry the heir your body cannot produce." He claimed it was just business, that she would be exiled once the child was born. But at my birthday gala, when Aria tripped into a champagne tower, the truth shattered along with the glass. I was the one bleeding, a jagged shard slicing my arm. But Alex didn't look at me. He threw his body over her. He cradled his mistress, screaming for a doctor to check the baby, while I stood there with blood dripping onto the marble floor, completely invisible. I watched him give his own blood to save her in the clinic later that night. I saw the way he looked at her—not like a vessel, but like a prize. He thought I would stay. He thought I was the obedient Mafia wife who would raise his mistress's child to save the family image. So when he handed me a stack of papers to "protect the assets," he was too arrogant to read them. He didn't notice the header read *Decree of Divorce*. While he was busy buying baby clothes for a child that didn't even exist, I wiped my identity from the servers, signed the papers he blindly authorized, and boarded a one-way jet to Paris. By the time he realizes his "heir" is a fraud, I will already be a ghost.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

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."
