Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reborn to Break the Curse: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Sally Wallaker flinched when she saw me suddenly appear on camera."No, Kyla. The sponsor made this extra spicy just for the challenge. You won't be able to handle it."I didn't let go. I just smiled at her. "What if I can?"Before I could finish, my wrist was clamped in a crushing grip.Francis Moss's hand felt like iron, squeezing so hard that it nearly broke me.But facing the camera, he was still smiling. "Kyla, quit messing around. If you wanna try, I'll bring you some next time. Just don't disrupt Sally's stream today. It'll mess with the numbers."When he leaned in close, his voice dropped."You're always accusing me of something with Sally. You keep pushing like this, even if there's nothing, you're going to make it into something. And that'll be on you."The disgust in his eyes hit me like a blade.Sally had been his first love. They had been apart for years.I used to think once he chose me, he would be all in.But everything that followed proved otherwise. He kept

When I came to, I was back home. I could hear Francis and Sally talking in the living room.My stomach still ached faintly."Francis, Kyla cost me 30% of my revenue tonight. If she shows up and ruins my streams again, I won't go easy on her just because of you! Either you guarantee she stays out of it, or I'm switching agencies."She was the company's top earner. There was no way Francis would let her walk.He agreed immediately, saying that from now on, I would be locked inside the house whenever she streamed.Fear crawled up my spine as I stepped back, accidentally kicking the doorframe.Francis turned, his eyes cold. "Since you heard all that, remember this…"I cut him off and rushed at Sally."Sally, you can't actually handle spicy food. You're just transferring the heat onto me, amplifying it a hundred times while you barely feel anything! My stomach is about to rupture from all the heat. You have to stop!"She frowned, looking at me like I had lost it. "Kyla, are you sur

I had never seen Francis this anxious over anyone's condition.The stress had gotten so bad that there were sores at the corners of his mouth. Watching him like that stirred something in me I couldn't quite name.It wasn't heartbreak over him not loving me.It was the sick realization of what kind of person I had once loved.Back when he claimed he loved me, he said it like I was the only one in the world.Later, when he saw how much money Sally could bring in, he put her on a pedestal. He wouldn't let anyone say a single bad word about Sally, completely ignoring the fact that I was his fiancée.Eventually, I understood.He never loved either of us.Just like the way he trusted Sally.Deep down, he knew she was lying, but he never bothered to check. His love was simple, singular.He only loved himself. And money.Sally and I were just tools.Seeing him panic like this, I didn't say a word. I just unlocked my phone and showed him the livestream.The spicy eating champions

Sally was dragged inside, her clothes stained with blood.Francis looked even more disgusted. "How the hell are you coughing up that much paint?""I…"Sally froze, as if she had just realized she could speak again. It had been about ten minutes since I had stopped eating spicy food. The pain in her body had already eased."That's not paint. It's blood. Why won't you believe me? I told you this afternoon. In the past, I…"She caught herself mid-sentence when she noticed me watching. She and Francis exchanged a look, then both fell silent.I let out a quiet laugh, staring straight at them. I could see the calculation in both their eyes."I know exactly what you're thinking. And I know why every time Sally ate something spicy, it ended up hitting me a hundred times harder."Sally's first instinct was denial. "I have no idea what you're talking about."I pulled out a jar of chili paste and a bottle of strong liquor from behind me. "You wanna try coughing up blood again? Whether I

Sally and I forgot about it pretty quickly.After that, we grew up side by side, went to school together, and lived through the same years.I picked the right major in college and landed a job at a Fortune 500 company right after graduating.Sally, on the other hand, couldn't find work no matter what she tried. Then, out of nowhere, she remembered those bellflowers from when we were kids.She used their juice to draw patterns again. This time, it actually worked.I became bound to her. Anything that could harm her body would be transferred to me and amplified a hundred times over.In my last life, she used that power to become rich. But not long after I died, the flowers lost their effect.She was quickly replaced by other streamers, and her popularity crashed. With no other options, she started faking eating content, but obsessive fans exposed her.Some extreme followers kidnapped her and forced gallons of pepper-infused liquid down her throat. She died on the spot.In this
