AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The car rolled into the Dawson family mansion, as I took a deep breath watching as music, flashing light and laughter boomed out from the opened windows.I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to steady my breathing. My stomach ached with so much pain I was tempted to rip my insides apart so the pain would just stop, but I told myself to smile. Just one more night.I could pretend for one more night.When the driver stopped, I stepped out slowly trying to steady myself. I could already hear my mother’s loud laughter from inside the house but I shook my head trying to snap out of my pain and fear.The front door opened and I turned my head to the side to cover my eyes from the bright light. It was too bright and too loud.I looked around and watched as people were already dancing, drinking, celebrating like it was the happiest night in the world.My night.My tenth wedding anniversary but it seemed as if everyone was happy except me. I walked inside quietly frowning from the overwh

When I met Malcolm, he was a poor, struggling teaching assistant at the university.I was just a freshman, still learning the cruel difference between Rosie and me in this wicked world.If life were a novel, Rosie would be the heroine. She’d be the one blessed with a lucky halo that made everyone adore her effortlessly.And me? I wouldn’t even be the villain. I’d be the faceless side character who blended into the background, the one no reader ever remembered.It had been that way since we were kids. Rosie took after our mother with her bright green eyes, and soft red hair. She was a beauty that made every eyes turn to her the moment she walked into a room.I didn’t even look like my father. In fact, I didn’t look like anyone in our family. I was plain with an ordinary face, ordinary body, ordinary everything.Our parents adored Rosie from the very beginning. She was their pride, their miracle child. I was simply the reminder that they had another daughter. Still, Rosie was never crue

My head throbbed so hard it felt like it was splitting open again and again. A sharp, pounding pain that swallowed all my other senses. Somewhere close by, I heard what sounded like soft sobbing from...a child? “Mom, are you okay?” “ M…mom’s dead!” “She’s not dead! She’s just sleeping!” “Mom, please wake up!” Mom? The voices echoed in my skull. I forced one eye open and the first thing I saw was a filthy ceiling covered in cobwebs, dirt, and stains. It was incredibly disgusting to look at, so disgusting in fact that I felt confusion wash all over me. Was this… a morgue? I took a deep breath and froze. There was no pain in my chest. None of the sharp stabs that had come with every inhale before my accident. My head still hurt, but it was fading. The crying grew louder and I opened both eyes and sat up. The sight before me made my blood run cold. I was lying in what looked like the dirtiest room I’d ever seen. The floor was covered with dust and trash, bottles of beer and ch

“Are you really not going to eat?”I took another bite of the juicy chicken, the flavor bursting across my tongue. It was so good I almost groaned. Each chew felt like pure heaven, reminding me that I was alive. I could almost feel my body waking up again with every swallow. I chuckled to myself, it seems that in this life I was going to be a foodie. Between bites, I shifted Gracie on my lap, feeding her small spoonfuls of mashed potatoes. She cooed happily, kicking her tiny legs as if each taste was the best thing in the world. Her bright eyes met mine, shining with pure delight.Billy, on the other hand, just sat there staring at his plate as if it were poison.I frowned, setting my fork down. “If you weren’t going to eat, you should’ve told me before I ordered it. Now it’s going to go to waste and my money will be wasted too.”His head snapped up instantly. “No!” he blurted, shaking it so hard his curls bounced. His lower lip trembled as he blinked back tears.Slowly, he wiped his

I looked away, pulling the towel tighter around my body as I walked toward the bedroom. “You’re just in time for dinner,” I said quietly. “Go freshen up.” “Dinner?” Her voice was flat, as she looked at me in pure disbelief. “Since when do you cook dinner?” I felt her eyes on my back as I closed the bedroom door. I dried my hair with the towel, changed into something comfortable, then went to the kitchen. Anna was still standing by the doorway watching me with this suspicious look in her eyes. She just stood there, like she didn’t understand what was going on at all. I opened the old fridge I had cleaned earlier and smiled when I saw the inside. This was what a fridge should look like, I was so proud of myself. I’d made sure it was stocked with enough vegetables, food stuff and fruits to make sure everyone would at least have something to eat before I fully settled down and started to think about how to make our future better. My stomach growled as I rubbed my chin trying to dec
