Mrs. Nelson and her family weren’t the only ones celebrating money that wasn’t theirs.

Back in Murkwood, not far from the apartment complex, in a small bar, Sarah sat across from her brother, Gerald, their table covered with half finished plates of food and bottles of beer. They clinked their glasses together, laughing loudly, already spending money they hadn’t received.

Gerald checked his watch for the third time, irritation suddenly appearing on his face.

“Where is she?” he snapped. “She s

  • AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE   CHAPTER FORTY THREE— Resolve Misunderstanding

    We spent about thirty minutes planning the rooms and the interior of the house. The kitchen, the bathrooms, and even the fourth room, which would serve as my in house office for now. After that, we called a taxi and visited two furniture stores, going back and forth over prices before finally deciding which one to use. I paid an upfront deposit and gave them a copy of my house key, though I already planned to change the locks the moment we officially moved in. I wanted everything new. Beds, pots, rugs, curtains. Everything. Even if it was a bit expensive, I did not care. The only thing I won’t compromise on is bringing any furniture from Murkwood to Skyline City. The furniture, cleaning, and interior setup would take about a week. I also paid for fumigation. After that, the car the landlord arranged took us to Evercrest Academy. We were given a tour of the school, and it was exactly what I expected. Large, spotless buildings, well equipped classrooms with modern boards and proje

    The landlord glanced at Bianca, and I caught the quick look they exchanged before he turned back to me and waved my concern away. “No, do not worry about it too much. It is not a waste of time,” he said with a small smile. “You should at least see what I have available. We can talk about the price later.” Bianca nodded quickly. “Yes, Patricia, let’s just check it out. I am sure you will love it. And about the price, he mentioned earlier that he is offering a big discount for families renting.” “I did?” the landlord repeated, clearly caught off guard. But the moment he saw the look Bianca gave him, he cleared his throat and nodded. “Yes, yes, I did. I am willing to offer a big discount on the rent. No problem at all.” He let out a slightly awkward laugh. I gave both of them a side glance, suspicion flickering in my eyes, but I decided to go along with it for now. “Alright… shall we?” We walked toward the main lobby, and he stepped ahead to open the door for us. The moment I ste

    I raised a hand to stop the panic, ruffling Billy’s hair before bending down to pick Gracie up and shower her face with kisses. “Do not panic. I was on my way back when I tripped and fell into the gutter. There was glass in it. I already got it treated, so it is fine. I will just shower and go rest, okay?” “Mom, you have to be careful!” Billy said, looking incredibly worried. “I know, I know. It is my fault,” I replied gently. Rebecca still looked unconvinced, but she chose not to question me in front of everyone. Slowly, the everyone went back to what they were doing. Later that night, just as I was about to fall asleep, my phone rang. I picked it up, carefully patting Billy, who had fallen asleep on my chest, snoring softly with a bit of drool at the corner of his mouth. “Hello?” “Hello? Is this Patricia? This is Bianca. I collected your number earlier at the salon, remember?” “Oh, hi, Bianca. I did not expect you to call so quickly. I assume you have spoken to your sister.”

    Chapter Forty— A Last Chance “You will carry that guilt for the rest of your life?” he scoffed, his eyes full of disbelief and mockery. “Fine. Let’s say I believe you. Let’s say you are truly sorry and I forgive you. What does that change? Will the sun suddenly shine brighter? Will I wake up tomorrow with a million dollars? No. I am still stuck here in Murkwood with no future. Your apology changes nothing.” “It does,” I shot back, forcing strength into my voice while ignoring the sharp sting in my knee from the glass shards. “If you accept my apology, everything will change. You will agree to work for me.” Jerry took a step back as if he could not even stand near me anymore. “You are crazy.” “It will change everything because I will make a difference in your life. I will fix the damage I caused and give you a better life. If you work for me and promise you will not betray me, I will change—” “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” His face turned red, a vein throbbing at the side of his nec

    Back in Murkwood, the three men exchanged uneasy glances. None of them seemed sure if they should chase me away or hear what I had to say. One of them leaned toward another and whispered something. The second man shook his head immediately, clearly ready to send me away but before he could speak, I slipped my hand into my bag and pulled out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills. Their conversation stopped instantly as I placed the money on the table in front of them waiting as their mouths dropped open. “Please,” I said. “I need to see him.” The money seemed to wipe away every doubt they had. All three of them jumped up at the same time, scrambling for the cash and nearly fighting over it before shoving the bills into their pockets. A strange, greedy smile spread across their faces. “Wait here,” one of them said quickly before rushing inside the canteen. I stayed where I was, holding my handbag tightly, only having to wait five minutes before the door suddenly burst open. A t

    “May I ask why I owe this pleasure?” Alexander asked, leaning back more comfortably in his chair. “What made you come all the way here to see me?”Rosie took a moment before answering. She looked down at her hands, nervously rubbing the edge of her phone as if the words she wanted to say were difficult to bring out of her lips.As if even speaking them felt forbidden.Alexander, always quick to read people, raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Dawson doesn’t know you’re here, does he?”The moment Malcolm’s name was mentioned, Rosie’s lower lip trembled.She bit down on it before slowly lifting her head to meet Alexander’s eyes. Her lashes were wet now, tears gathering until her eyes looked glassy and red.She sniffled softly, looking heart-breakingly fragile, like a delicate flower that had been caught in a tragic storm. “Sir…” her voice shook. “I need your help.”She paused, swallowing hard, as if she was forcing herself to continue. “My family… needs your help.”Before Alexander could even blin

    “This is not a funny joke, Pat.” Rebecca almost laughed at first. Those were the wildest words she had ever heard. But when she looked at my face, the smile faded. I wasn’t joking. That made it worse. Pat Allen… successful? Changing her life like it was easy? It didn’t make sense. Maybe I was

    Gerald’s face drained of colour. “Rebecca, have you lost your mind?!” “Yes!” she shot back, spinning toward him. “I must have been crazy to think you were a good enough man to marry! That was the worst mistake of my life! The only reason I don’t regret it is because I had my precious daughter. Ma

    I was released the next day. One night in the cell felt like I’d been stuck in a cage for a year. It was dirty, smelly, and so uncomfortable I barely slept. But the moment I stepped out of the station, all of that stopped mattering. Because the first thing I saw… was my family. They were standin

    I turned off the stove and fully faced her. “Anna, no one is born knowing everything,” I said gently. “You forgot some things? Fine. You’ll relearn them. That’s not shameful. What’s shameful is giving up on yourself before you even try. Do you think rich kids remember everything either? They get
