All Chapters of AFTER REBIRTH, I BECAME UNTOUCHABLE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Everyone in the estate knew Gerald’s marriage was a disaster.He was a narcissist who truly believed he was the greatest thing to walk the earth. He and his entire family treated his wife and daughters like maids, people meant to serve, not be seen. Patricia Allen saw that ugliness and mistook it for opportunity.She wanted to be his mistress.Shamelessly, she flattered him. She hovered around him, laughed too loudly at his jokes, fed his ego with everything she had. She even gave him what little food and money her family had, things that should have gone to her children.To be accepted, she tried to please Sarah too. She acted like a loyal little minion, desperate to be chosen, desperate to be preferred over Gerald’s wife.What Patricia never understood was that they were laughing at her behind her back.To them, she wasn’t a woman. She was a fool. A disposable ATM.Gerald didn’t care whether she lived or died. In his eyes, she wasn’t even in his league. Sarah and Karen only tolerate

Mrs. Nelson and her family weren’t the only ones celebrating money that wasn’t theirs. Back in Murkwood, not far from the apartment complex, in a small bar, Sarah sat across from her brother, Gerald, their table covered with half finished plates of food and bottles of beer. They clinked their glasses together, laughing loudly, already spending money they hadn’t received. Gerald checked his watch for the third time, irritation suddenly appearing on his face. “Where is she?” he snapped. “She should’ve been here by now with the money. What’s taking her so long?” Sarah laughed, lifting her glass of beer for another sip. “Relax, big brother. You need patience. She’ll show up.” He sighed heavily. “None of this would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone looking for trouble in the first place. She was ready to give it to me. One hundred thousand dollars!” He couldn’t help but let out a self satisfied smirk. “Do you know what I can do with that money?” Sarah rolled her eyes. “Who knew she’d ma

The phone reception in Murkwood was so terrible that the call dropped twice. By the time it finally went through, my hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold the phone and then the bad news started coming out right after the other. The operator explained that the ambulance couldn’t drive close to the apartment complex. The road was too damaged and wouldn’t be safe for the vehicle to pass. I’d need to bring Anna outside and meet them on the street so late at night. I screamed back into the phone. “I’m alone with three children! Three! I can’t carry her by myself! It’s so dangerous because of the stairs. She could fall and get even more hurt!” “I understand, ma’am,” the operator replied gently. “But waiting could be dangerous. You need to bring her out now because the medics are very close.” My chest tightened so hard that I almost couldn’t breathe. I dropped the phone and held Anna tighter. Her body was heavy and limp like a lifeless doll. “Mom?” Billy’s voice tre

“Here comes the choo-choo train…” I held the spoonful of porridge up to Anna’s mouth, making a soft train sound as I tried to feed her. She stared at me like I’d grown five heads. “Have you lost your mind?” “Why? You don’t like porridge?” I said without missing a beat, dipping the spoon back into the small cooler I’d brought from home. “This isn’t that bland hospital food. It’s still plain because the doctor said no oil yet so it’ll do for now. You just need to recover quickly. When we get home, I’ll welcome you back with a real meal.” I brought the spoon closer. She frowned, clearly debating whether to give in, her little mind working hard. Finally, she opened her mouth, and I fed her. “I’m not a child,” she grumbled. I laughed softly. “Of course you are. You’re just a baby, Anna. You’re twelve.” I set the cooler beside me and, before she could react, gently took her hand. She flinched, her eyes widening. Looking at her there in the hospital bed with a drip in her hand and h

“So this is where you were hiding, you disgraceful child.” Gerald’s voice dripped with disgust as he looked Mary up and down. “Have you and your useless mother completely lost your minds? Why on earth would you stay in this apartment when your father’s place is only a few doors away? What do you think I am, stupid?” The bedroom door suddenly creaked open. Billy stood there, clutching his toy car, his eyes widened as his small body started shaking with fear. Behind him, Gracie was on the bed, she’d been woken up by the loud screaming and had already started crying out loud. The moment Gerald saw the bedroom, something dark flickered in his eyes. He didn’t need to say a word, all he had to do was look at Sarah and she immediately understood. They were thinking the same thing. “You can’t be here!” Mary shouted, stepping forward despite the overwhelming fear in her heart. “This is Aunt Pat’s house! You can’t just barge in like you own the—” Smack! The sound was loud and wicked.
