All Chapters of Rebirth: Contract Marriage With Ex-fiance's Uncle: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Emma Whitcomb I watched her struggle to help Daniel up to his feet. My chest wrenched painfully, fingers tightened at my sides as memories of everything replayed in my head. ‘My wish is to marry Daniel…’ ‘It has always been me, Emma. Even while I was gone, they never really cared about you’ ‘Did you get my little gift, Emma?’ My blood boiled beneath my skin. If I could, I would've strangled her on the spot and made her feel a hundred folds of the pain I felt in that moment that I took my last breath, but I composed myself. What I had in store for her was worse than death. My eyes flicked to mom and dad who just stepped out of their car. Oh… They came with Eleanor. My brows knitted together. But wait… Was she supposed to be back today? Or did my decision change this also? My eyes flicked to my wristwatch. It was almost the same time that they brought her in back then. I could remember that I was in my room that night when they called me out to come meet her.

EMMA POV My chest wrenched painfully, fingers tightened at my sides, and eyes locked on dad. I shouldn't feel hurt because I knew this would happen… I should be used to it already, but having this happen all over again, it still hurts. Back then when he told me this, I was excited, thinking he would finally acknowledge my hard work and tell the world that I was the brain and mastery of Whitcomb gallery, but he lied before everyone. He told them that it was all El’s doing. He didn't tell them that Eleanor was lost for years, instead, he told them that she was studying abroad and recently came back. Right before me, my hard work, sleepless nights, and sweat were given to someone else. And even after that, I was forced to teach her how to paint properly. How to mimic my designs. I gave them everything. “No. I won't do it,” I wanted to scream at his face, but I remained calm. Yelling and giving them a heads-up will only ruin everything and make it less fun. I need to make them feel

ELEANOR POV“Were you trying to scam us?” The lady scoffed angrily.“First, you came here acting all bossy, and here I was, thinking that you were a big shot, but you were what? A scammer?” The lady yelled.“Y…you need to calm down, Ms. I… I think there's a misunderstan…” l trembled, then paused as she turned to Emma, “It's you!”“What the heck did you do?” I yelled at the top of voice, and I only saw Emma flinched deliberately, placing a hand on her chest.“You're scaring me, El. What does this have to do with me?” she blinked, acting clueless.“You… you did it. Earlier when you… when you…” I dragged my fingers through my hair.The humiliation burned inside me.I wanted to grab Emma, but before I could reach her, security guards rushed in and dragged me back.All I saw was Emma bursting into laughter. That bitch!*****I've been locked here in an empty room for over thirty minutes, and no matter how loud or hard I screamed, nobody paid attention to me. They didn't let me have my phon

EMMA POV Chloe was already waiting in the café when I arrived. I stood at the door, staring at her with a smile on my face. Chloe has been my best friend since middle school. She and Daniel were the only one who ever cared about me. At least that was what I thought until Daniel's betrayal. After Eleanor came back and I was neglected at home, Chloe was the only one there for me. She was the sister I never had. She beamed with smiles, waving at me from where she sat. Had I really died back then, I wouldn't have gotten to see her beautiful face again. That thought made my chest tighten. “What are you waiting for? Come over here,” she said, and I smiled before walking up to her. “Hey, sweetie!” She squealed excitedly, standing up to hug me. “I've missed you so much,” “I've missed you too,” We settled in, and she ordered my favourite coffee, taking note of little detail… as always. “So, did you say you found something?” I blinked, full of hope. While dad has been

EMMA POV I stood at the entrance, eyes fixed on El and Daniel. He was leaning towards her, wiping her lips with his thumb. Back then, I would've felt jealous, but I felt nothing. Not even the tiniest bit of anger or jealousy. I sighed when I recalled that this is the newly opened restaurant that Eleanor told me about. I had gotten a text from Chloe a few minutes after Eleanor left the house, asking that we hang out here for dinner. Chloe sent me the name of the restaurant and the address. How could I possibly know that it was the same place these two were hanging out. I saw a flicker of smirk on her lips before she waved at me, “Over here, Emma,” I stared for a moment. Since I'm already here and that bitch has been craving for a show, then why not just give her? Let's see what she's got up her sleeves. Daniel looked back at me over his shoulder as I approached them, shock creeping up his face. I pulled out a chair and sat at their table. El smiled. That kind of
