Face Slapping

"I'll leave the decision-making to our children. Girls, do you want 100 million dollars, or your mother?" On the day our parents get divorced, Mom looks at us with tears in her eyes. My older sister, Camila Walker, kneels before Mom while looking very emotional. "I want to stick with you, Mom! I don't want money—I just want you!" As she looks at me, she smiles confidently, as though she's won something. That's when I realize that she has gotten reborn as well. In my previous life, Camila didn't hesitate to choose Dad, who had inherited 100 million dollars. But he lost all of his fortune to gambling to the point that he had to sell Camila just to pay off his debts. Left without a choice, she was forced to take her own life. As for me, I chose to be with Mom, only to find out that the "poor security guard" she had married turned out to be the richest CEO in the city. Thanks to the marriage, I became the spoiled and pampered heiress whom the entire city envied. Camila thinks she's stolen my good luck. Little does she know that I died in my previous life as well. In fact, I had died in the hands of the same CEO stepfather, whom she was jealous of me for having.

Chapter 1
I picked up my suitcase and quietly walked to stand behind Dad.My sister, Camila Walker, clung to Mom even tighter and turned on the charm, saying, "Mom, you always say Selena's the considerate one. Now, you see who really loves you, right? She went straight to Dad without even looking at you."Mom looked at me in disappointment. "Selena…"I looked away indifferently. I'd hardly ever been close to Dad before this day, but I now slipped my hand into his and held it tight.Mom grew angry when she saw that I wouldn't even look at her. "Are you really that shallow and materialistic? Fine, then. I wasted years raising you for nothing!"She tugged Camila toward the door. As they passed me, Camila mouthed to me, "You're such a good girl. I'll toss you a piece of bread when you're so poor you're forced to eat trash."I laughed to myself. Oh, Camila. Even after getting another chance at life, she was still so dumb.In our last life, we must have died on the same day to have come back to

Dad gave me a little shove. "Selena, this is Daniel. Greet him properly."I stepped forward and sincerely reached for his hand to shake it, even giving him a little bow. In my last life, he was the only one who was willing to help me. "Hi, Mr. Quigley."He looked surprised and helped me up. "Hey, no need to be so formal."I straightened and met his deep, gentle eyes, smiling at him before getting into the car. Seeing Daniel settled the restlessness in my heart. He was loyal and unbelievably capable. He'd helped Dad with the inheritance and could've taken a portion for himself in return, but he'd given Dad everything.In my past life, he'd tried hard to stop Dad from burning through the money. Dad had taken it as Daniel trying to boss him around because he'd seen more of the world. Camila didn't like him either and kept fanning the flames.But when Dad's finances started collapsing, it was Daniel who had stepped in and helped, keeping Dad going for a while longer.During the drive

I calmly wiped a tray. "Are you ordering? If you're not, stop keeping me from my work."Camila glanced at the menu with disgust. "I'm not eating this junk food."She thrust out her wrist to show off a diamond bracelet. "See the life I live now? I'm like a bona fide princess, unlike you. You chose a useless dad who couldn't even hold on to a hundred million dollars."She kept bragging, but I noticed the bruises on her wrist—they were clearly from shackles.How pathetic. She'd hunted me down just to preen in front of me, hoping to squeeze a little superiority out of me like it was her painkiller."Are you done? If you are, please move." I couldn't be bothered to watch her performance.Camila's expression darkened. "What's with that attitude? I'll file a complaint and have you fired right now!""Dear miss, I'm terribly sorry!" The manager rushed over, shooting me a hard glare. "She's new and doesn't know any better. Allow me to apologize on her behalf. Please don't be upset!"He s

I locked my phone and ignored Camila. As if she'd be that kind. Besides, all her money came from James, the creep. It felt dirty to me.Camila spammed a bunch of photos of designer watches and bags. "Look, any one of these is worth more than your life. Mom hasn't even married James yet, and he's already this good to me. He buys me everything. Are you jealous? Too bad. You had your chance, yet you couldn't even choose the best."An idiot reborn would still be an idiot. Camila didn't realize the only reason she was still living it up now was that James and Mom hadn't yet finalized their marriage. He didn't have her locked down yet.In my past life, he'd walked into my bedroom the night he and Mom registered their marriage.Before heading out, I knocked on the door of the restroom stall beside mine. "Dad, I'm going out. I paid the breakfast shop owner—don't forget to go eat.""…Got it," he rasped.At the burger joint, the owner looked me over, unhappy with how worn out I looked. "Se

Chapter 5
In my haze, I heard Dad making a call. His voice broke as he cried, "Daniel, please… Selena's going to die…"Then, I blacked out completely.When I came to, I found myself in a hospital room with an IV in my hand. I tried to sit up, but a warm hand gently pressed my shoulder. "Don't move."I turned to see Daniel sitting by the bed, his face dark with anger. "Mr. Quigley? How are you…""I flew back last night," he cut me off, his jaw tight with restrained fury. "I've been overseas on business. If your dad hadn't called me, how long were you planning to keep this from me? You're still so young. Why didn't you reach out? Were you trying to kill yourself?"He had never spoken to me so harshly before.I faltered. "I just didn't want to drag you into this mess… Um, where's Dad?""Your problems are never a burden!" he snapped. Then, he took a deep breath to steady himself. "He went out to get food."Daniel told me I was in bad condition. I had stomach ulcers compounded by long-term nu

Chapter 6
Camila stared hard at me, her lips trembling. "No… No way… How can this be…"I smiled back at her.Her mental state was terrible. Beneath the oversized jewels, her skin was covered in bruises. Sure enough, James had tortured her to the brink.Camila muttered manically, "It shouldn't be like this. You should be like me in my past life… You should've been sold off and beaten…""What nonsense are you spouting?" Anne frowned. "Mr. Walker has impeccable investment instincts. He crossed the hundred-million mark in six months, and everyone knows he dotes on his daughter.""That's right," a lady chimed in. She gave me a friendly smile. "Half of Mr. Walker's assets are allocated to Ms. Walker, whether it's stocks or real estate. Ms. Walker is now a tycoon in her own right—she's right up there with her father."Camila reacted like she'd just heard the most horrifying thing in the world. "This isn't how it's supposed to be! You're all lying to me!"She lunged at me, but before she could to

I instinctively looked at Dad. Camila, who was a sweet talker and was lively, had always been his favorite.But now, there was only disappointment in his eyes. He asked, "Save you? And then what? Let you keep bullying Selena? Camila, Selena changed our lives through hard work."Without her, I'd have died at the card table or rotted in a gutter long ago! You think I don't know you kept looking for chances to pick on her while she was working part-time jobs?"Camila trembled and turned to Daniel. "Mr. Quigley, please help me…"His face stayed blank. He didn't even bother to look at her."But why?" She broke down. "Why is it that I still can't find happiness even after being reborn? Dad doesn't want me, and neither do you!"I lowered my head and looked at her evenly. "Do you think I'm just lucky? That I can have a good life with just anyone? In my past life, I ran away with Mom several times, and James killed me by ramming his car into me. You didn't know that, did you?"Camila's e

During the ride home, I asked Dad, "Dad, don't you have any questions about… you know, about what Camila said about being reborn?"He shook his head. "I don't care if that's true or not. I only care whether you're happy right now."Daniel squeezed my hand. "Don't worry. No one's going to hurt you in this life."I looked at him, thinking about the roses he'd pulled out. I whispered, "Did you come back, too?"He didn't admit it. He just rubbed my head, his touch careful and deliberate.After that day, we were extra vigilant. Camila kept bombarding me with messages. She was either losing it or so tormented that she needed something to lean on."James has really changed! He's so good to me now and so gentle!""You were just useless in our last life. You didn't even know how to please a man!""Just watch as I make this life work out perfectly. I'll do better than you!"I replied, "Good luck."She took the bait and fired back, "You're a cold-blooded monster! Why aren't you asking h

Chapter 9
As I stood before that cursed mansion again, I felt like a lifetime had passed. This time, I was here to destroy it.Daniel had police officers positioned around the perimeter. I rang the bell alone.When Camila saw me, her face contorted with a sick thrill. "You came… I knew you would.""Where's Mom?" I asked."Patience, Selena." James' voice floated down from the winding staircase as he studied me like prey. "Yes, that's the look… You're even more beautiful than when we last met."I know you're not short on money, but if you play my game just once, your mother goes to the best care facility immediately.""I just want to see her one last time." I held firm.After some back and forth, I feigned leaving.James finally relented and told Camila, "Take her to your mother."Camila led me upstairs and stopped before a heavy door. "She's inside."I gave her a wary look and pushed it open. She grinned, shoved me hard into the room, and locked the door behind me. "You idiot! Wait here
