Semua Bab Bringing Him To His Knees: Her Vengeful Rebirth: Bab 1 - Bab 7

ZEPHThe tray I was holding crashed to the floor, everything spilling with it. My blood grew cold, and my lips trembled with my hands as I stood at the other side of the door, staring, mouth open. I'd just gotten the best news of my life an hour ago. The doctor said I had a possibility of conceiving after months of telling me I couldn't.I'd kept my visits a secret from Lysander, hoping, one day to surprise him with it. However, standing at the door now, eyes wide, my mind tried to process all I heard. The door opened, and a partially clad Lysander walked out, his eyes narrowed, and his lips thinned in a line. I'd always thought he was handsome, but at that moment, all I could see was the darkness swirling in his gaze, the hatred I had failed to see all these years, blinded by love and a desperation to be seen by someone. “You…” Lips still trembling, I looked behind him as she stepped out in just a towel. Lyra, a woman he had claimed was his friend, didn't seem like that anymore. I'

ZEPHAs if someone shook me, I woke with a start, my heart hammering in my chest, and sweat dripping down my body. I glanced around and frowned. I reached for my head and touched my scalp, expecting to feel pain, but I got nothing. Puzzled, I stared at my hands and feet. The last thing I recalled was getting chased after I escaped from the house Lysander had locked me up in. Then… I remembered the car knocking into me, and the searing pain that followed before I lost consciousness. Why was I here now?“This can't be real,” I muttered, shaking my head furiously. It made little sense. This was the past. I let out a sigh and placed my hand on my forehead to be certain I wasn't hallucinating. I couldn't imagine what happened after I died. “Yes, I died.” I nodded. “I'm supposed to be dead, not here.” I stared long at the girls in the cages next to me, eyebrows still scrunched in confusion. “Could I have gone back in time?” I pinched my arm, believing I was dreaming, hissing in pain when I

LYSANDERShe was the one. Hazel cat-shaped eyes and black wavy hair. Eyes with a spitting fire, just like she had looked when she left in the dream. Yeah, you read that right. I'd never met this woman, had only ever been interested in blondes. However, the night before I met her, I'd had a dream, a lengthy one. It had gone by quickly, but strong enough to leave a lasting impression on me. The feeling had been raw, like I had experienced it. I hadn't, mind you. I'd never met her before. However, when our eyes locked, I felt her pain, the darkness in her gaze, and an emotion I couldn't decipher. There was also a familiarity that confused me. Just then, I decided, I would have nothing to do with her. Though I never knew her, my dream was enough to make me aware of what might happen if we ever got together.I might mistreat her, then cause her disappearance and death. I didn't want that. I needed this woman to live a good life. The goddess might have shown me the dream as a warning never

He whirled around, eyebrows lifted until they almost touched his hairline. “What next?”I nodded, taking a shaky step towards him. I couldn't let this go on like this. I had this wonderful plan, which I wasn't about to let go of just because everything seemed different from how it was before my rebirth. He watched me, eyebrows raised. When I got to him, I stood, and my hands went to the jacket that he had draped on my body when he released me from the cage. I wasn't wearing anything else since I removed the sheer lingerie those people clothed me in.Funny how I'd forgotten all about it until now. Gulping, he drew a step back, eyes wide. “What are you doing?” His face was almost ashen white, like someone who had seen a ghost. Smiling, I peered up at him, acting shy when I was far from that. “You… You bought me for this, didn't you?” I pulled the coat down, standing naked, just like I'd done in the cage. He closed his eyes, fists clenched to the side, puzzling me for just a few s
