I get picked up by the cops in the middle of the night for street vending. While questioning me, they pull up my file. One officer eyes me suspiciously through my mask and asks, "What's a Clairefield University graduate like you doing selling stuff on the street at midnight?" I freeze and lean over to look at the file. The ID number matches mine, but the photo has been replaced with one of Madison Bass. That's when it hits me—20 years ago, I was the one who got accepted to Clairefield University! Dazed and numb, I stumble home only to hear my husband, Joseph Gunther, speaking on the phone. "Madison, don't worry. I won't let Lucy interfere with your life. Just go abroad in peace." It's him! Joseph helped Madison steal my identity and my future. My stomach twists. I turn to confront him, to expose the truth. But before I can, he strangles me to death with a belt. "I'm sorry, Lucy. You can't ruin Madison's future…" When I open my eyes again, I'm back in the classroom. Our homeroom teacher is handing out university application forms. This time, I'm taking my life back.

Rebirth: Giving Them My Blessings Chapter 9
During the summer break, I found myself a part-time job to earn some extra cash to pay for my living expenses. I wasn't sure if I was imagining it, but I constantly felt like someone was watching me. Yet every time I looked back, no one was there, so I dismissed it as nothing.My salary was paid to me on a bi-monthly basis, and I realized that I had received a thousand dollars more than what was promised. A thousand dollars was a large sum of money during those days.My boss, Jerry Little, explained, "Business has been going great recently. It's your bonus."I happily accepted the extra cash upon hearing his words.When I finished my shift, I further rewarded myself by purchasing a fried chicken drumstick. When I stopped by the shop, I noticed that they were running a promotion where if one purchased one drumstick, the buyer would receive another three for free.Lady Luck must have been smiling down on me that day.However, the thought had barely finished forming in my mind when

The Gunther family's reputation was in shambles after the media reports were released. They received a verbal lashing from the public every day. The internet had been invented by then, so they were constantly subjected to an endless stream of criticisms.Frank's and Madison's sentences had not been decided yet.As I watched everything unfold, I sighed in relief. I assumed that the dust would settle soon. What I did not expect was for Joseph to seek me out again.I had left the house to go grocery shopping when he blocked my path forward. He looked incredibly anxious. He kept his head lowered, continuing to block me without saying a single word.I clutched my pocket knife as I warily asked him, "What the hell do you want?"He raised his head to look at me. He had a complicated emotion swirling in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse when he called out my name.I didn't say a single word in response. I wondered if he was going to beg me to empathize with Frank and Madison again."Yo

After I had completed all the necessary procedures, I exited the police station. Joseph trailed behind me, his condition rather unstable. He then called out to me. "Lucy Charon."I turned around to look at him."I'm sorry. Are you satisfied now?" He sounded like he was on the verge of tears.I gazed at Joseph, who was very much still alive and breathing. I shook my head. "No. I'll only be satisfied when you're dead."Hurt was written all across his face. I didn't understand why he looked so pained. The situation had reached this point, so why was he still pretending?"Lucy, I had feelings for you once. I've always been keeping an eye on you since our first school year."His words repulsed me as I relentlessly exposed the cracks in his weak lie. "It's because you decided I was the perfect target for your scheme, right?"Joseph shook his head vigorously. Tears dripped from his face as he explained, "It's not like that. I really did like you. I know that you enjoy eating our cantee

Madison and Joseph stepped out of the house. When Joseph's gaze landed on me, he turned visibly panicked.I raised my voice and yelled, "Madison! Where is your university acceptance letter?"After noticing that there were police officers with me, Madison began to realize that something was amiss. "My acceptance letter? I haven't received it yet.""That's impossible," I declared while glaring at her.The female officer patted my back to comfort me. "Don't worry, Lucy. We'll get to the bottom of this."Frank stood up to his full height. "Lucy, you must have evidence if you suspect me of stealing your university spot."I rubbed the tears from my eyes and said, "The acceptance letter is the evidence."After all, the acceptance letter would have my ID number on it. I had traveled back 20 years. The student information website didn't exist yet. If it did, Frank wouldn't have been able to exchange my information for Madison's on the application form.Madison's complexion turned pallid

Joseph ended his phone call with his father before asking, "Aren't you overthinking things?"Seeing how he continued to play dumb, I slapped him hard across the face."Joseph Gunther, you really are a shameless bastard. You tried to trade my future for Madison's favor. You're despicable."His che

Madison appeared to have lost her mind as she lunged at me. However, she was stopped in her tracks by Joseph, who blocked her way."Calm down, Madison. Just endure it for the time being."Madison slowly regained her composure upon hearing Joseph's words. She glared at me and exclaimed, "Just you w
