All Chapters of Rebirth: Ruining the School Belle's Lie: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My hands were locked around the steering wheel, and my knuckles were slowly turning white. Memories from my previous life came rushing back, each one cutting deeper than the last.By the time I reached the building, my younger brother, Callum Veyne, was already lying in a pool of blood. I dropped to my knees beside him. I called his name over and over, but he never opened his eyes.Just the night before, he'd looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "Liv, I swear I didn't take those videos. I was just walking past the gym. Why won't anyone believe me?"I hadn't known what to tell him.Elara Winslow, the most popular girl at school, had cried like her whole world was falling apart. The videos were right there on her phone.Everyone kept saying the same thing. No girl would make up something like that and put her own reputation on the line.There were witnesses. There was evidence. There was her accusation. And every last bit of it pointed straight at Callum.Before the scand

I looked at his face, still so young and untouched by everything that was supposed to happen to him, and my eyes filled with tears.I said to him quietly, "Callum, I'm sorry. But this time, I can't let you take another step."The second his foot landed on the next stair, I gritted my teeth and shoved him.He went tumbling down the steps and hit the ground with a heavy thud. A pained sound escaped him, and all the color drained from his face.However, when he looked up and saw me still standing safely at the top, the first thing I saw in his expression was relief. "Liv, you're okay. That's what matters."My chest clenched so hard I could barely breathe."Don't move!" I rushed down and crouched beside him, fighting to keep my hands steady as I checked his arms and legs.I was a doctor. I knew what kind of injuries a fall like this could cause. I'd made sure it wasn't far enough to put his life at risk or leave him with permanent damage. However, it was enough to keep him off his f

The room went dead quiet. Even Elara stopped crying for a second.Tears still clung to her cheeks, but I caught the flash of panic in her eyes. It vanished almost immediately.She bit her lip. "I'm sure. The video is timestamped at 7:32 am."Mr. Wycliffe slid Callum's treatment record across the desk toward the officers. "Callum signed this at 7:32 am. The school nurse was here. The security guard was here. I was here. And this entire room is covered by security cameras."Then, he turned back to Elara. "You're saying Callum was filming you at the gym at 7:32 am."Elara went pale. I glanced toward the doorway. At some point, Dorian had arrived.The moment he heard Mr. Wycliffe's question, he stopped dead in his tracks. His hand curled into a fist at his side.Elara tried to pull herself together. "I-I was terrified. Maybe I got the time wrong."I looked at her coldly. "That's not what you said when the officers asked you. You said the video itself was timestamped 7:32 am. You se

However, every word carried through the room."Dorian, I've never done anything to hurt you. When you needed my competition notes, I gave them to you. When you couldn't figure something out, I stayed and walked you through it."When you told me your family couldn't afford the entry fee, I paid it for you. So, why are you doing this to me?"Dorian went rigid.Callum's eyes were red now—not because he felt sorry for himself, but because he finally understood what kind of person he'd trusted."You called me this morning and asked me to go to the gym. Was this already waiting for me? If I hadn't gotten hurt… would everyone be convinced I did it by now?"Dorian's lips parted, but no answer came.I looked at my brother, and something deep in my chest ached. In my previous life, Callum had died without ever getting the chance to ask that question.This time, he finally had.The hallway footage came through soon after. Mr. Wycliffe set a tablet down on the desk. The timestamp in the c

Her father, Jaxon Winslow, was just as desperate. "We'll compensate you—whatever amount you think is fair. Just give us a statement saying you've forgiven her."I stared at them. Suddenly, I was back in my previous life. I could see Mom and Dad in the school office, begging them to investigate properly. I remembered begging the teachers to believe that Callum hadn't filmed anyone.No one had shown us mercy then.Elara had cried. Dorian had stood there looking disappointed. Elara's parents had pointed at mine like they were the ones who should be ashamed. "You raised a sick little creep, and you still have the nerve to come here asking for sympathy?"If anything happens to our daughter because of this, your entire family will pay for it!"We did. My parents lost their son. Then, they lost any reason to keep going.The memory turned my voice to ice. "No."Seraphine only cried harder. "She's 17! She has her whole life ahead of her. You can't let one mistake ruin her future!"I loo
