Semua Bab Reborn to Wreck My Ex and His Sidepiece: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Giselle's words lit a fire under the crowd, and they turned on me like a pack of wolves."She looks decent but acts like a homewrecker?""What a snake, faking kindness! Probably here to make sure that poor girl jumps."Giselle upped the ante, swinging her other leg over the railing. One slip, and she'd plummet into the river.The crowd gasped, "Don't do it, honey! We'll handle this witch for you!"An older woman lunged at me, clawing at my jacket.Giselle sobbed, her eyes fixed on Ezekiel. "I never wanted to come between you and Rebecca. But she is still not satisfied. She threatened to leak my private photos if I didn't stay away. If my death is what it takes to please her, so be it!"Ezekiel spun around and backhanded me across the face. My mouth was instantly filled with the coppery taste of blood.Turning back, he pleaded, "Giselle, come down. I'll do anything you want. You decide how to handle this wretch."I caught her smirk through her fake tears. She wasn't suicidal, j

"For real? I can't believe this is happening!" I plastered on a giddy smile, thrusting my hand out for the ring.It was just a proposal after all. I needed to stall him for as long as I could.My enthusiasm took him aback. Ezekiel blinked, tossed the knife aside, and fumbled the ring onto my finger.My eyelashes fluttering, I played dumb. "What's with the knife?"He squirmed, mumbling, "Uh, just a fruit knife for Giselle. She's on liquids now and doesn't need it."Giselle, still crying on the bed, gave me an idea. I faked tears. "Poor Giselle, bedridden forever. Should we hire a nurse?""Not a good idea," he muttered. "Nurses are expensive. Why waste money?"Giselle's muffled cries grew louder. I smoothed it over. "He just means a nurse can't care for you like family would."I dabbed her face with a tissue, testing if she was truly paralyzed. I bent down, my fingers grazing her cheek. Her whole body stiffened, her eyes darting away.Stroking her hair, I sighed dramatically, "G

Ezekiel cackled at the donation total, but the stench made him back up. "Giselle, you're my golden goose. Don't worry. I'll take care of you."But after funneling the money to his account, he barely showed his face, only swinging by to demand more cash from the doorway.With the funds, he bought a flashy car, cruising around town like a big shot. Giselle, meanwhile, was cracking under my daily torment.After feeding her another batch of spiked liquid food, I wiped her mouth with mock tenderness. "Giselle, you've got to pull through, or all my care is for nothing."Her eyes burned with hatred, but she stayed silent. As I packed up to leave, I said, "I've got errands this afternoon, but I'll have a nurse check on you."A glint of hope flashed in her eyes, but I didn't actually leave. Instead, I slipped into the room across the hall, peering through the window.Sure enough, Giselle called a friend, who rushed in and yanked off her splints. She sprang up and stretched like a cat. She

Before Giselle could respond, I turned to Ezekiel. "Honey, say something. Who do you really love?"He held her close and answered without hesitation, "I've always loved Giselle. A vile woman like you doesn't deserve me. If Giselle hadn't been smart, she'd have been killed by you."He yanked off his ring and tossed it to the ground. "Come over and apologize to her. This matter won't be over just like this. You need to pay her for emotional damages and medical expenses. For old times' sake, I won't ask for too much. Give us three million dollars, and we'll call it even.""You're delusional if you think you're getting a dime," I snapped, tearing off the mask. "Not three million, not a penny!"Before Ezekiel could snap, Giselle jumped out of his arms and called upon the reporters to direct their cameras at me.She started, "I'm sure everyone has seen those videos about me online, but behind the scenes, she abused me while I was helpless in a vegetative state."She rolled up her dress
