But not everyone wants to start over.

Some people choose to rot in their bad habits and cling to their delusions. They believe the world owes them something. They believe they’re better than everyone else when the truth is, they’re nothing special at all.

Gerald was one of those people.

So were his delusional sister, Sarah, and her loud, annoying best friend, Karen.

After the fight at the bar, all three of them were arrested and taken to the local police station. The bar owner had connectio

  • AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE   CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE— His Sister’s Friend

    After looking around the restaurant and not finding Bianca, Alexander figured she had already left. He got into his car and drove slowly along the road, keeping close to the pedestrian lane until he finally spotted her. She was walking aimlessly, her eyes unfocused, like she wasn’t really seeing anything in front of her. He pulled over beside her and pushed the passenger door open, watching as she stopped and turned to look at him. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. “Get in,” he said. She let out a tired sigh and walked over before dropping into the seat. The moment the door shut, she leaned forward, burying her face in her hands as her shoulders began to shake, the sobs coming out hard and uncontrollable. Thunder rumbled in the distance. Raindrops began to tap against the windshield, slow at first, then heavier until the rain came down in sheets, drumming against the car. Alexander didn’t move. He stayed in the driver’s seat, silent, letting her cry without interrupt

  • AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE   CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR— Blood Is Thicker

    Alexander Sterling had never really understood his father. Not as a child, and certainly not now. While other children waited eagerly at the school gates, excited to see their fathers at the end of the day, Alexander had felt the opposite. The last person he ever wanted to see was him. For years, he wondered if that would change. If growing older would somehow make things clearer. If one day he would finally understand the man who raised him. Maybe see the logic behind his choices. But as time passed, it only became more certain that that day would never come. “You cannot be serious.” Bianca stood up so fast that her chair scraped harshly against the floor before tipping over with a loud crash. Her hands trembled at her sides, her eyes turning red as she stared at her father in disbelief. “Tell me what you just said is a joke.” Edward rolled his eyes dismissively. “Here you go again with your theatrics. Sit down, Bianca. Now is not the time for your bad manners.” That word s

    Bianca slowly placed the glass of wine back on the table . The irritation on her face was clear as she turned to her father. “So if it’s not work, what is it?” Her voice was cold like she was talking to a stranger. “I have clients. I get paid. I built something for myself and it’s successful. Are you still going to call it a hobby?” Edward let out a dry scoff, raising a finger as he pointed at her, shaking his head in disappointment. “I sent you to the best schools. Gave you the best education money could buy. And this is what you choose to do with it? Cutting hair?” His voice raised even higher. “You should be working in the family company, standing beside your brother. Instead, you waste it all on something so… trivial.” Bianca let out a short laugh in disbelief. “Trivial?” she repeated. “There is nothing wrong with being a hairdresser, Dad. It’s honest work. It makes me happy.” “Happiness doesn’t build a legacy. It doesn’t protect the family name.” “It’s my life!” Bianca sho

  • AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE   CHAPTER FIFTY TWO— The Sterling Family

    On the other side of Skyline City, at the very top of the tallest skyscraper, sat one of Alexander Sterling’s private penthouses. The place was huge, with cold marble floors stretching across the space, leaving it spotless. Glass walls reflected the entire city below, lights blinking like stars, yet it did not feel like home at all. There were no personal pictures, no decorations, no traces of memories or life. Just expensive furniture placed perfectly, like no one truly lived there. In the middle of one of the rooms, on a large bed, Alexander Sterling lay flat on his back, looking almost lifeless. One of his arms rested by his side, the other slightly bent, his fingers gripping the sheets. Sweat covered his forehead, small drops sliding down his temple. His jaw was clenched, his body giving small, restless jerking movements like he was fighting something in his dream. And for once, the man who controlled everything could not control what was happening in his own mind. “Pa… Patric

    “My name is Sam and I met Madam Cherry in my last year of high school.” We were seated again in the small shop. He sat across from us, his hands rubbing together nervously, his fingers restless like they didn’t know where to settle. His whole body trembled slightly as he took a deep breath before continuing. “You know… at that age, everyone keeps asking what you want to be when you grow up. But as an orphan… I didn’t even know who I was, talk less of what I wanted to become.” He let out a small, empty laugh. “I just wanted to eat. That was it. To have somewhere to sleep, something in my stomach every day. So I told myself I’d just work as an errand boy so at least I could survive” He paused, his eyes dropping again.“Then one day… Madam Cherry got injured. Her shop was smaller back then, just a little place near my school. I used to run errands for her sometimes. That day, she had a big order to finish, and no one to help, so she told me if I learned the basics and helped her

    I didn’t wait for Rebecca or Jerry to ask what I meant. I immediately walked straight toward the quiet shop just as the man inside stretched and reached for the door, clearly about to close for the day. The moment his eyes landed on me, he froze. As I got closer, I saw him clearly. He was skinny and slightly hunched as a result of a deformed leg. His clothes were clean but old, and his young face aged with the kind of exhaustion that sleep alone couldn’t fix. His eyes flickered between the three of us, cautious, like a stray dog unsure whether it was about to be fed or chased away. “What do you want?” he asked. I glanced past him, taking in the shop. It was nearly empty with no display pieces, no customers, barely any fabric in sight. Then I looked back at him, raising an eyebrow. “Aren’t you a tailor?” I asked simply. “I want you to make clothes for me. Why else would I be here?” The expression on his face shifted into something close to disbelief. It was as if I had just said

    “Oh, we’re just looking around,” Rosie said brightly. “We want to get something special for the birthday girl.” She slipped her hand from mine and wrapped both arms around Mom instead. Mom let out a pleased, self-satisfied laugh, patting Rosie’s arm. “Oh, you naughty girl,” she said, though her

    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

That was the worst mistake of my life! The only reason I don’t regret it is because I had my precious daughter. Ma
