Chapter 1 Rebirth and Revenge

• "If this keeps up, she's gonna die! She's your fiancée!"
• The doctor, sweating like crazy, tried to convince him.
• The guy standing next to him had no expression on his handsome face. He just stared coldly at the woman barely hanging on in the bed.
• "It would be great if she died. A woman like that doesn't deserve to be my wife."
• Ouch, that hurts!
• What's going on?
• Wait, didn't I die after getting betrayed by my own team during that mission?
• There's no way I would've survived that explosion. I should've been blown to ashes. So why does it still hurt?
• Isabel slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, and she could barely make out some people in white coats moving around.
• Did I survive and end up in a hospital?
• Before she could make sense of it, a sharp, splitting headache hit her, and out of nowhere, a rush of memories that weren't hers came flooding in, nearly knocking her out from the pain.
• Once the memories settled in, she realized what had happened. She did die, and now she had been reborn in the body of another girl with the same name, Isabel Zimmerman.
• The guy in front of her, Kaleb Johnson, was supposed to be her fiancé. Today was their wedding day, but it got messed up when the original Isabel's best friend crashed the ceremony, claiming she was pregnant with Kaleb's baby. She even said they were in love and begged Isabel to step aside. Then she faked being pushed by Isabel and ended up in the hospital.
• The original Isabel's best friend had an incredibly rare blood type, one that's almost impossible to find. By chance, she and Isabel had the exact same blood type.
• To save the woman he loved, Kaleb had the original Isabel dragged to the hospital to force her to donate blood.
• Just as these memories were starting to make sense, Isabel's thoughts were suddenly cut off by Kaleb's cold, heartless words.
• "She's a vicious woman with a heart of stone. She won't die. Keep going!"
• What a cruel man!
• Isabel's fists tightened as a sharp pain cut through her heart.
• It was a reaction she couldn't control, purely instinctive.
• She knew this was the original Isabel's way of responding to the crushing hurt she'd been through.
• But from now on, she was Isabel. And everyone who had wronged her would pay for it.
• "She's fighting back!" the doctor yelled.
• "Hold her down!" Kaleb shouted and came over to help pin down Isabel's hands.
• Isabel used all her strength. First, she kicked the nurse holding her leg out of the way. Then, with a powerful move, she flipped over and shook off everyone trying to hold her down.
• Sitting on the bed, Isabel narrowed her eyes and took a cold, hard look around the room.
• The nurses and doctors were stunned by her sudden burst of energy, frozen in place and unable to move.
• Kaleb stepped up, glaring at Isabel. "Isabel, what's your problem? Get back down! Eva still needs help!"
• Isabel stared at Kaleb, her face blank and her voice laced with annoyance. "Who do you think you are? Why should I sacrifice myself to save Eva?"
• "Why? How can you even ask that?" Kaleb shouted, his anger boiling over. "If you hadn't pushed her, would she be in danger?"
• "Huh!" Isabel scoffed. "Are you deaf or what? I've already said it. Eva is faking it. She fell on purpose and tried to blame me."
• The original Isabel had tried to explain this to Kaleb over and over in the chapel, but he just wouldn't believe her.
• "Enough! I saw you push her with my own eyes. Even now, you still won't admit it!" Kaleb looked at Isabel with complete disgust.
• Isabel shook her head. "I knew it. You're blind." Her tone was laced with sarcasm.
• "What did you say?!" Kaleb was stunned. The old Isabel had always done whatever he said without a word of complaint. This didn't sound like her at all.
• Isabel carefully got out of bed, swaying a bit from the blood loss.
• Kaleb was fed up. "I'm telling you again. Lie down and behave, or I'll send you to the police station and make sure you get what you deserve!"
• Isabel walked right up to him, looking up with a calm, unbothered expression. "You don't believe me, right? I've got a way to make you believe."
• "Isabel! Didn't you hear what I just said? I'm telling you one last time—" Kaleb didn't get to finish as Isabel landed a punch in his stomach.
• "Ugh!" Kaleb grunted in pain, slowly kneeling on the floor, his face turning red and purple, with veins bulging on his temples.
• That was a heavy punch! How can Isabel have so much strength?
• Kaleb looked over and saw that Isabel had already left the room.
• No! She's going to cause trouble for Eva! I have to hurry and protect Eva!
• Ignoring the pain in his stomach, Kaleb quickly got up and ran after Isabel.
• Isabel reached the VIP room where Eva Shepherd was and locked the door behind her after entering.
• Bang, bang, bang! Kaleb pounded on the door, shouting through the observation window, "Isabel! Open the door! I'm warning you! If you hurt Eva, I'll make sure you live to regret it!"
• Isabel ignored Kaleb's threats and moved towards Eva.
• Eva looked ghostly pale, her lips completely colorless.
• "Nice try, Eva. I'd give your makeup a 60. Just enough to pass."
• With tricks like that, they're nothing compared to my disguise skills.
• Eva almost rolled her eyes at Isabel's comment.
• What a joke for someone like her, who has nothing going for her except a better background, to talk like that.
• As Eva was thinking this, Isabel suddenly grabbed her hand.
• "Isabel, I'm begging you. Please, don't hurt my baby. Just wait until my child is born, and you can do whatever you want with me. Just don't hurt my baby—"
• Before she could finish her pitiful plea, Eva was already crying, tears streaming down her face, looking heartbroken and desperate.
• Bang, bang, bang! Kaleb kept banging on the door, yelling threats, and trying to intimidate Isabel.
• Isabel released Eva's hand and stood by the bed, looking down at her. "Eva, you're clearly faking this pregnancy."
• Eva's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Isabel.
• How did she figure it out? Did she grab my hand to check my pulse or something?
• No way!
• Eva was sure Isabel didn't know anything about medicine.
• "W-What are you talking about? I don't understand. Isabel, I'm dying … It's fine if I die, but please, the baby is innocent. Just save us."
• Still pretending?
• Isabel smirked. "Eva, want to make a bet? I can expose your lie in five minutes."
• Seeing Isabel's devilish grin, Eva suddenly felt a wave of panic. What was she going to do?
• Before she could process it, Isabel raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
