Chapter 1 Another Chance

* Chapter 1 : Betrayed *

Jasmine Lawrence lay back helplessly on her bed. She had just miscarried the child she had been carrying for eight months due to hard labor. Despite being pregnant, she worked at a rock-breaking factory to earn a living.

Her eyes were crammed with tears, ultimately, and she whirled to see her face, to see her reflection in the mirror.

Who was this?

Jasmine Lawrence?

She lost everything; her face was coated with bruises. The scanty strands of her hair made her look like the witch in Hansel and Gretel because of alopecia areata the disease. Her once full pink lips had hard cracks and were wounded due to constant night fever.

As if it were not enough, she began bleeding heavily.

" Blood?" she noticed the trail from her thighs.

Hesitantly she picked up the phone to call her loving husband. After three rings, the phone went through, opening her mouth to speak and she heard loud moaning sounds.

Did she hear right?

Was that not the voice of Celine, the sister of her husband?

She tilted her head in confusion, then took the phone to her face to recheck if she had called the right number.

It was his number, the number she had memorized for eight years of dotting on him. Feeling embarrassed for her sister-in-law, she was about to end the call when she heard what sounded like the raspy voice of her husband.

" Give it to me Celine... Yes ... That Jasmine is a vegetable in bed --but you arrrr"

Jasmine's pupils dilated in shock, she laughed in shock and smiled. Then she wiped his face and listened to him praising his sister.

This does not make sense. Why would blood siblings be so shameless?

The pain she felt intensified like blood. Then she heard Celine say " That Jasmine is a fool despite all the indications she still believes we are siblings, hahaha"

Jasmine could no longer breathe, she held her chest and kept the tears from spilling.

" What is more stupid is she works hard and gives me money to spend on our enjoyment " her husband added shamelessly.

Enjoyment?

Was he not building their dream house in the province? Did that mean all her years of hard work went down the drain?

Then which house was he showing her?

" Yes. I even showed her progress of a fake house and now she is probably bleeding heavily and must have lost the baby-"

This statement had a heart in pieces. Why did he do that?

She smiled bitterly and continued to listen.

" Did she think I would accept a bastard child, a child she had with Keith, my cousin.. in hours she would die and I will have all the property of the Yates family in my name by tomorrow morning, for now.. let's ride"

It was followed by insane moaning sounds. Jasmine ended the call recording and laughed bitterly. The pain made her heart heavy but she had no one to call.

She typed some words onto her phone and then headed for the hospital. She sighed and laughed like one who has heard a good joke.

After taking an antidote at the hospital, the bleeding stopped. She went to the place she asked him to come to.

It was a cliff with modest surroundings, the first place they met and she instantly fell for him.

She stood by the cliff with a long blue gown and cap on her head. She only turned when she heard the car speeding towards her.

" I am so sorry darling. How are you? Why did you call me here?" he spoke pretentiously, wearing a calm yet confused expression.

In the past, she would have believed this, but now she only sneered in her heart.

What did she see in this bastard?

Now her child was gone forever and she killed him by being oblivious to his crime in all those years of their marriage. Jasmine fought the tears in her eyes with a warm smile.

" Isn't it beautiful here?" said Jasmine, closing her eyes.

Carl took out the pocket knife in his pocket and followed her in soft steps to take her by surprise. Although she could hear his footsteps, she closed her eyes and quickly played the recording, which made him take a step back in shock. His and Celine's moans

He was about to speak when Jasmine confronted him in tears. Which seems to be the sole thing she is good at nowadays.

"Cut the bullshit. Don't tell me I misunderstood, just save it. Tell me why you killed my child... Why could you not say no to me and tell me you don't love me?"

A normal person who could have stopped his advances. Not Carl!

The innocent facade on his face fell. For the first time, she saw the demon in sheep's clothing.

" What do you want? For me to apologize or beg," he howled dangerously.

" Step back or else"

"Or else what .. "he scoffed, drawing the knife in his hands.

At a glance, Jasmine was a little bit flabbergasted by his actions. She never thought he would go this far.

Then again!

He killed his child. Only a mother knows the true father of her child. And she was convinced he was the one. No one else.

She smiled and said bravely " You can't kill me. Because if I don't return, the police will use the evidence I gave against you"

A flash of fear lingered on his face. He put away the knife and turned softly, shaking his head in disappointment. Before she could properly heave a sigh of relief, Carl turned and shot her twice, pushing Jasmine off the cliff; luckily she held onto the plant.

In three big steps, he crouched watching her contentedly.

Jasmine knew it was her end yet she still fought. " You have made a huge mistake. The police will get you and your mistress"

Because of this, Carl cracked up like a psychopath.

" Which evidence? The one you gave to Lucia", his eyes narrowed and a vicious light flashed.

How did he know? I gave the proof to Lucia.

Conveniently tugging a hand into his pocket, a sly smile popped from his lips " Lucia is a dear friend of mine and she notified me as soon as you texted her the evidence and... now I will get rid of the living proof. That's you "

What Now? Everything started to make sense. But then again,why would Lucia, her very own best friend, betray her in such a vile way?

Carl took out the pocket knife and smiled while looking at the knife's edges.

Sweats broke out on her face and she began begging for her life. Her moist eyes glared at him. " Please you can't do this, " she cried. " I loved you and I still love you. We can start all over again. "

Of course, she lied, she hated him the moment she found out he cheated. Initially,she wanted the police to deal with him, but if she somehow escaped his grip today, she would slit his throat herself. She tried not to look over her shoulder at the deep forest and stream beneath her. She must survive this and take revenge not only on her child, but the entire Yates family that had been destroyed by this pyscho. Inwardly she called God for help.

He stabbed the knife into one of her hands holding the little shrub,which made her retract it because of the pain. Blood quickly oozed out from the deep wound. Although the back of her hand might be bleeding, it was her heart with the deepest pain.

His eyes beamed at the sight of the thick red blood on the knife. Turning to face the girl still holding the shrub,a soft of bitterness claimed his heart. " You won't die. OK, let me confess, that night Keith did not rape you. I did " he pursed his lips, watching her dumbfounded expression.

This was only her suspicion but he cleared it. No wonder why she would have such a difficult time when they had sex. Every time the scent of the man who raped her would overlap rather than understanding, he slept with her nonetheless.

Seeing she was lost in thoughts, he stabbed the last hand which beheld Jasmine's life which was held on the plant. A loud scream escaped her lips uncontrollably. She loosened her grip and fell backwards with her sharp moist hazel eyes fixed at the monster laughing by the cliff.

Carl screeched as he watched her fall down the hill to the unforgiving rocky sea. " I knew you were listening to the phonecall and yes, I know the baby is mine. "

He knew the baby was his. But still, killed it?. A sardonic smile curled up her lips, squeezing her eyes shut, she spoke her last prayers. The pain in her heart overcame her physical pain,she only hoped to one-day make this man pay.

* Splash*

Jasmine fell into the sea, its color changed to red because of so much bleeding. She stared at the bastard who seemed to be a twig from afar.

" I-i w-will b-be back". As soon as she spoke these words, the waves carried her body brushing past rocks till she died in excruciating pain.

The bloody water was washed off by new runoff. Like no murder ever took place.

Right?

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
