Chapter 4

While I was distracted, Martha yanked the jewelry box from my hand and smashed it to the ground.

"All this havoc over some worthless bauble?" she snarled. "You'd hurt your child for it?"

My mind reeled as I checked the bracelet. It was intact, thanks to the sturdy box.

Sean railed from behind me, "You're a monster! Your daughter hits the deck, and you blow her off to check some stupid bracelet? Is it even more precious than her life?"

Martha steadied the stroller, her face streaked with tears. "You'd better hope she's fine. Grab your trash and get out of my house! Don't ever come back!"

She glared at me and added, "Once we settle this in court, you'll walk away destitute. I will make sure your family is left in ruins. Out!"

She raged like a madwoman, hurling objects in a frenzy.

I cradled the box and escaped the suffocating place.

I was barely out of the complex when Megan called, urging me to check out the trending topics.

A digital tsunami of hatred hurtled my way, labeling me as a greedy scumbag, a leeching loser, and a patriarchal pig who valued sons over daughters.

Fabricated sins piled on, bolstered by doctored images.

"Remove anything about my mom and slap them with lawsuits," I said, ending the call.

Other than that, I let the storm fester.

After lunch, I teased an afternoon live stream, igniting further buzz.

Martha bombarded me with calls, but I didn't answer any.

Desperate, she planted herself downstairs at Megan's place, unfurling a banner and blaring a megaphone.

"Jerome, the web is tearing you to shreds as we speak," she shouted. "Streaming won't help. Apologize now, and I'll give you a second chance."

I observed the scene silently from the lofty vantage of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Sean wrested the megaphone, positioning himself as the voice of reason. "What are you waiting for? Martha is offering forgiveness. Streaming will only amplify the backlash. Own up, and we'll help your mom."

Under a parasol, Robert piped up, "Don't be impulsive, son. What kind of husband ends a marriage over a changed lock?"

Their pleas rang hollow, laced with veiled intimidation.

As the clock struck the hour, my stream flickered to life.

Predictably, the chat erupted with vitriol.

Martha launched her stream via the company channel, pinging for a split-screen showdown.

"Since you won't back down, don't expect mercy," she hissed.

Her feed looped damning evidence of my tabs at private lounges and raunchy message threads.

[Total scumbag. Filthy as hell!]

[Martha, you've suffered enough. Divorce his ass!]

[Lawyer here. This clown is getting stripped bare in court.]

"See? The internet gets to play judge." Martha lounged in a chair, fluttering her fan.

I nudged the AC and drawled, "891."

Martha stiffened, then fanned more furiously. "Spare me the mumbo-jumbo. You're no lawyer."

"Are you sure it's a clause?" Megan chuckled, ready to unveil the surprise.

Reborn Heiress: The CEO's Revenge Bride

7.2

I lay in the hospital bed, every breath feeling like I was inhaling wet concrete. My husband, Trent, stood by the window, more interested in his reflection in the glass than his dying wife. My sister, Cristi, sat nearby, complaining about how the rain would ruin her expensive shoes on the way to the car. Trent walked to my bedside and brushed a finger against my oxygen tube. "The liver failure is aggressive," he whispered. "But we expected that, didn't we? After all those 'vitamins' you've been taking." I tried to scream, but my vocal cords were paralyzed. Cristi just giggled, telling me not to struggle because they needed my trust fund voting power by midnight. They held up a Do Not Resuscitate order and told me my hand had "signed" it with a little help. "You were a depreciating asset, Cleora," Trent said, his lips cold against my forehead. "Now, you're finally liquidated." As the darkness swallowed me, I saw flashes of my life—my mother’s suspicious car crash, my stolen sketchbooks, and the bitter almond taste in my morning juice. I died in a state of pure, helpless rage, realizing I had been murdered by the only people I ever loved. How could they be so heartless? How could I have been so blind to the monsters living in my own home? Then came the sensation of falling. I sat up with a gasp, my lungs burning with fresh, salty air. The hospital was gone. I was in a luxury stateroom on our family’s charity cruise, three years before my death. I was alive, healthy, and back at the beginning. When a blood-stained billionaire named Clemente Pennington walked out of the suite's bathroom, I didn't run. I looked him in the eye and realized that this time, I wouldn't be the one liquidated. I was going to make them pay for every drop of poison they ever fed me.
