She told her mother Saturday night.

Not with any particular buildup.

She just mentioned it the way she mentioned producer visits and Monday meetings, as a fact of the week that her mother would want to know.

Her mother was in the sitting room reading when she came in.

"Adrian is coming for Sunday lunch," she said. "Next week."

Her mother looked up from her book.

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    EPILOGUE: A SECOND CHANCE

    “So kids, do you believe in rebirth and second chances now?”“Yes, Mom,” they all said in unison.“But Mom, what happened to Anthony and the chief's daughter?”Valerie smiled.“Well, karma has its own way of doing things. Anthony couldn't get the chief's daughter pregnant and was caught cheating on her with one of the servant girls in the chief's house. He was thrown out of the chief's house, and the chief asked Collin to return the farmland to him.”“Wow, that serves him right,” Lisa said.Emma laughed."Oh poor Anthony, Westley is going to kill him herself." Emma said."Yeah,I love how karma caught up with all the wicked people.""Yes,me too" Lisa concurred.“So kids, I think it's time for us to go prepare dinner. Daddy will soon be back.”“Okay, Mom.”“But Mom, I wish I would be given a second chance because there are people I want to unmeet and unsee.” Emma said.Valerie laughed softly.“I know, baby, but it doesn't work like that, okay?”“Okay, Mom. Now let's go cook for Daddy.”

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 99: The Village Bride

    Rain poured heavily over the village that night.Anthony sat outside the house beneath the cold rain, his wheelchair beside him.His clothes were soaked through.Water ran down his face and dripped from his hair, but he didn't bother wiping it away.He had been left outside because he had failed to complete the chores Westley had assigned to him.It wasn't the first time.It wasn't even the second.Anthony had stopped counting.He stared into the darkness while the rain continued falling around him.His life had changed so much that sometimes he wondered if he was dreaming.A few months ago, he had everything.Money.Power.A beautiful mansion.A wife.A family that respected him.People who feared his name.Now he was sitting outside a strange house in the rain, dependent on people he couldn't stand.He looked down at himself.He was no longer simply crippled.One of his crippled legs has been badly injured by an axe. He was trying to cut woods because that was a punishment given to

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 98: Seeing Him Again

    “Ren?”They both called out in unison.“Wait, are we dead?” Valerie asked to no one in particular.“It's only you who is dead. I am not dead,” Dianne said.Ren finally spoke.“Well, you both are in the afterlife, but only one person is dead.”“You stupid bitch! what the hell did you do to Anthony?"Dianne launched forward toward Ren to attack her, but Ren pushed her away.“Maybe you've forgotten we are even. Who is Anthony's father? Huh?. Ren asked.Dianne stayed quiet and stared deadly at Ren.Oh, are you quiet now? I thought as much. Well, I didn't come for you. I came for Valerie.”Ren turned toward Valerie.“So Valerie, you've lived this life before. That was how you were able to maneuver everything in this lifetime?”Valerie stayed quiet.The only thing playing in her ears was the cry of a newborn.Her baby.She tried to run back, but Ren stopped her.“Don't you want to know the reason why you were given another chance and why you came here?”Those words made Valerie stop.Dianne

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 97: The Road Beyond

    Rain had been falling nonstop since evening.The heavy drops crashed against the hospital windows, covering the glass with streams of water that distorted the view outside. Thunder rolled across the sky every few minutes, followed by flashes of lightning that briefly illuminated the dark surroundings.Above the clouds, a full moon hung in the sky.It was unusually bright.It looked almost as though it was waiting for something.Or someone.Inside the labor ward, Valerie lay on the hospital bed, exhausted and drenched in sweat.Twenty seven hours.She had been in labor for twenty seven painful hours, yet her baby still hadn't arrived.Her fingers tightened around the bedsheet as another contraction tore through her body.She squeezed her eyes shut.“Ahh.”A nurse immediately came closer.“Breathe slowly, Mrs Lead.”Valerie tried.She inhaled through her nose and slowly released the air through her mouth.But the pain was becoming unbearable.Another contraction followed almost immediat

    The officer contacted Anthony again concerning the case.Anthony sat quietly as the call came through.He looked at the screen for a few seconds before answering.“Hello.”“Mr Lead, I need to speak with you concerning the ongoing investigation.”Anthony leaned back.“What investigation?”“The case involving your wife, Ren, and the men who were kidnapped during your wedding.”Anthony paused.“I told you before. I don't remember anything.”“We understand that, but there are still some things we need to clarify.”Anthony rubbed his forehead.“I can't help you if I don't remember.”The officer remained silent for a moment.“Are you sure you haven't remembered anything at all?”“No.”Anthony ended the call.The moment the call disconnected, the blank expression disappeared from his face.He reached for another phone and dia

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 95: Choosing You

    “So Adrian, we are married and expecting a child in less than four weeks and still don't trust me? You think I will go back to Anthony?”“No Valerie, it's not as you think.”“Gosh, you're so unbelievable.”“No Valerie, let me explain.”“To think I share the same bed with a man who doesn't trust me or even know me.”She walked away before Adrian could answer.“Babe, please, listen to me.”Adrian followed her into the bedroom, but she had already locked the door.“Valerie, Valerie, babe please let me in, let's talk about this please. It's not what you think.”She didn't answer him.Adrian rested his forehead against the door.“Babe, please.”Still nothing came from inside.After several minutes, Valerie's mother appeared at the end of the hallway.Adrian turned toward her.“Please talk to her.”“Give her a little time. She will come out o

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 5: Two chairs,one choice

    Valerie did not sleep.She lay beside Anthony in the dark of their apartment bedroom, her eyes tracking the slow crawl of shadows across the ceiling while his breathing deepened into the heavy, untroubled rhythm of a man with a clean conscience.Which was remarkable, she thought, given that he had

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 4: The watcher

    Valerie read the message three times.Each time, the words arranged themselves the same way, clean, deliberate, stripped of anything accidental. Whoever sent it had chosen every word with precision. Not I know what you did. Not I'm watching you.I know what you're planning.Present tense. Active. A

    The morning after her wedding, Valerie woke up before Anthony.She lay still for exactly thirty seconds, staring at the ceiling of the hotel suite, listening to his breathing beside her, slow and even and completely unaware.Then she rose without a sound, wrapped herself in the robe hanging behind

  • REBORN TO REWRITE MY FATE    Chapter 2: Playing the fool

    Adrian Lead was still watching her.Valerie felt his gaze on the side of her face the way you feel sunlight through glass, present, warm, slightly probing. She kept her eyes on the window, on the darkening sky beyond it, and worked to slow her breathing down to something that did not resemble a wom
