Chapter 1 Rebirth
My husband was fvcking the caregiver–on our bed. And my daughter… called her “Mom.”
Those three spent my money, lived in my house, yet treated me like an animal, tormenting me without mercy.
“I got into the accident trying to save our daughter! How could you treat me like this?“I pleaded.
But my husband, Jayden Ferguson,holding the caregiver in his arms, kicked me to the ground.
“If it weren’t for you, the three of us wouldn’t have been separated for so long. Only your death will bring us peace,” he sneered.
Only then I realized that the car crash wasn’t an accident. It was a trap all along.
In the end, I starved to death on a cold winter night.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of my daughter’s accident.

My mind was blank as I stood frozen among the bustling crowd.
“Mom, if we don’t hurry, someone else will buy the Angelic Wedding Dress!”
Nicole Ferguson tugged on my arm, snapping me out of it.

When I looked at her, I realized that I had returned to the time before I lost everything.
After steadying my emotions, I pulled my arm back and said seriously, “The light is about to change. Don’t rush. Staying safe matters most…”
Before I could even finish, the light turned red. Nicole dashed into the street anyway.
A sharp screech echoed through the air as a car hit her.
Her eyes widened in surprise for a second before she blacked out.
I dropped to the ground and covered my mouth, but I actually felt disappointed.
She only got knocked over, not thrown far.
In my previous life, Nicole had been worried the wedding dress she liked would be gone, so she ran across the street without checking the light.
When I saw the car racing toward her, I shoved her aside.
She ended up with only a minor wound, while I passed out from blood
loss.
When I regained consciousness, I saw Nicole and Jayden secretly injecting something into my IV drip.
I tried to stop them, but Jayden clamped his hand over my mouth.
Less than an hour later, drool started trickling from my lips. When I tried to talk, only broken noises came out.
Though I couldn’t act normally, I was still fully aware.
For three years, I was locked away. They even brought in beggars to

violate me.
Nicole yanked my hair and shoved spoiled food down my throat.
Jayden hooked up with his lover right in front of me.
Eventually, my family’s company became theirs, and I turned into a stepping stone for their reputation.
When I was at death’s door, Jayden told me the drug they used was bought using the money I gave Nicole as a wedding gift.

They wanted me to stay conscious while being humiliated, completely unable to fight back.

That thought made my anger boil, and I turned to stare at the light above the operating room.
Since I was reborn, I wouldn’t let them hurt me again.
The click of leather shoes echoed from the hallway.
Jayden appeared. He looked gloomy as he strode toward me.
As soon as he stopped, he wanted to slap me, but I blocked him.
“Wynter, is this your way to be a mother? Why didn’t you pull Nicole away from the car?
“If she ends up injured, I swear I’ll file for divorce!”
I stood up and looked at him with a mocking smile. “Nicole got hit because she crossed during a red light. Do you expect me to throw myself under the car instead?”
Jayden’s face turned stiff, irritation creeping into his tone. “Don’t twist my words. Nicole may not be your biological child, but she’s always treated
