All Chapters of After I was reborn,the first thing I did was leave my fiance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My breathing remained uneven as I stared at the calendar. June 18. The date was burned into my memory. The day Diego Hartwell announced that he had lost everything in the stock market. "No..." I grabbed my phone from the nightstand with trembling hands. "There has to be a mistake." I opened the news app. The top headline made my blood run cold. BREAKING: Hartwell Group Heir Diego Hartwell Suffers Massive Stock Market Losses. Family Fortune Reportedly Wiped Out Overnight. My fingers tightened around the phone. It was exactly the same headline. The same words. The same lie. I scrolled through the article. Anonymous sources claimed the Hartwell family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Financial analysts predicted the once-powerful family would never recover. I laughed bitterly. "What incredible actors." The entire country believed the story. So had I. In my previous life, the moment I saw this headline, I rushed out of the house without even changing my pajamas. I ran

You're right. The truth is being revealed too early. In a rebirth revenge novel, it's much better if Clara keeps her knowledge to herself. Diego and his mother should believe she's simply abandoning him because he's "bankrupt." That way, when they later discover she knew all along, it'll be a much bigger payoff. Here's a better continuation: "Clara!" Diego hurried after me, grabbing my wrist before I could reach the door. "Please... don't do this." I slowly looked down at his hand before raising my eyes to meet his. "Let go." His grip loosened, but he didn't step back. "You can't break up with me over something like this." I let out a small, humorless laugh. "Something like this?" "I've just lost everything," he said bitterly. "I'm at the lowest point of my life." "Exactly." He stared at me in disbelief. "I never imagined you would be this heartless." "Heartless?" I repeated. I slipped the engagement ring off my finger and placed it in his palm. "No,

Just peace. The freedom of leaving everything behind filled my heart. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts. We are on our final approach and will be landing shortly," the captain announced over the intercom. I quietly fastened my seat belt as the cabin crew walked through the aisle, making sure everyone's seat belts were securely fastened, tray tables were stowed, and seats were in the upright position. "Brace for landing," one of the flight attendants said with a warm smile. As the plane descended through the clouds, I slowly lifted my head. Warm rays of sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating my face. I closed my eyes for a brief moment and smiled. It felt as though the sun itself was welcoming me to the beginning of a new life. ********************* "I won't say another word until my lawyer gets here," Diego said coldly. The reporters outside the police station erupted into whispers as cameras f

Diego froze.The warmth that had lingered in his palm disappeared the moment Clara withdrew her hand.He stared at her in silence, his throat tightening."Clara..."She looked at him with calm, emotionless eyes.There was no anger.No tears.No warmth.Only a distance that made his heart ache."You shouldn't have come," she said quietly.His chest tightened."How could I not come? Tiffany told me you collapsed.""The doctor said I have early-stage stomach cancer.""I know."His voice cracked."I'll find the best doctors. The best hospital. I'll pay for everything."Clara let out a faint, humorless laugh."You think money can solve everything?"Diego lowered his head."I just want to help."She looked away."I don't need your pity.""It's not pity," he replied quickly. "It's because I—"He stopped himself.The words refused to come out.Tiffany silently stepped back, giving them space.The room fell into another uncomfortable silence.Finally, Diego noticed the consent form lying on th

The following morning...Warm sunlight streamed through the hospital window.Clara had just finished taking her medication when a soft knock sounded at the door.Before Tiffany could answer, a florist walked in, pushing an enormous arrangement of white lilies and champagne roses."Delivery for Miss Clara Hayes."Tiffany blinked in surprise."So many flowers?"The florist smiled politely."They're all from the same sender."He handed Tiffany a small card before carefully arranging the bouquet beside the window.After he left, Tiffany opened the card."Miss Clara..."She hesitated."It's from Mr. Hartwell."Clara didn't respond.Tiffany quietly read the note aloud.«Clara,I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I know flowers can't ease your pain, but I hope they'll remind you that you're not facing this alone anymore.Get well soon.— Diego»Clara glanced at the flowers before looking away."Take them out."Tiffany looked surprised."Are you sure?""The room already smel
