Reborn

Serena gazed at him and did not speak.

“Lawful fuck toy.”

Holding her chin, he kissed her.

Serena stared at him wide eyed and started to struggle. Lawful fuck toy? Struggling harder and harder with all her limbs, Serena turned her head to the side and cried, “Jake, we had a divorce. This is rape.”

Jake paused and felt puzzled, his eyes dark, and his eyebrows knitted. Divorce? They had only been married for three days. But this woman was already thinking about divorce. What trick was this? Not noticing the reaction of Jake, Serena struggled with all she had. She stopped and cried,

“You're dirty. Don't touch me.”

His mouth and body had been with Lila, God knows how many times, so dirty. A man had been with that woman. Outside the room with some muffled sound, someone knocked on the door.

“Jake, are you up?”

It was her, Lila. Jake calmed himself down and looked to the door. Serena took the opportunity to shove him aside. He was shoved to the other side of the bed. Serena held the blanket up and rolled under the bed.

“Since you're not speaking, then I will come inside.”

The voice of Lila was sweet and cute. Sounding just like the girl next door. However, only Serena knew how vicious she was. The door was pushed open. When Lila tried to look inside, a red pillow was thrown at her. And Jake said coldly, “Go away.”

It hit her in the face and she could see nothing before she was pushed out. The door was closed and locked on a whim. Jake turned around looking at Serena hiding under the blanket like a mummy. And he felt rather amused. What tricks this woman pulling? Serena’s face was covered in tears as she looked down, she suddenly blushed. Serena turned her head around and covered her face. However, she suddenly discovered that her face was extremely smooth.

Worried that she might be mistaken, Serena continued to touch her skin. It was smooth and fine. There was no scar left by the fire. In addition, Serena found that the room was all red. There was red wedding decorations on the bed, the door and even the pillow that Jake used to throw it Lila. Everything was red, the blanket and the linens. Serena looked at the sheet. A dried blood stain was left on it. How come? The old house wedding decorations and the blood stain. Her heart suddenly started racing. Serena thought of a crazy possibility that her breath quickened. She looked at Jake and asked,

“What year is it? And what's the date today?”

Jake looked at her as if she was dumb, “We have only been married for three days. And you are a good actress, Serena, you undressed me, didn’t you?”

He did not pay her any attention anymore. Holding his desire back, he walked to the bathroom. Serena’s heart raced. She brought herself up to the vanity. The woman in the mirror had delicate features on her smooth skin. There was no ugly scar. At 20 years old, she still looked a bit too young. However, she was a grown woman. Her eyes were wide and her brows were fine. Everything about her oval face was attractive. There were lots of skin products on her vanity of famous brands.

Before she married Jake, her then best friend, Lila suggested that she purchased these, telling her that it was a way to dignify herself. She had believed her words in her last lifetime and under the guidance of Lila, she had bought almost all the products that were expensive, yet they were not suitable for her. And they had all ended up in the trashcan. Jake had seen it all. It was exactly those details that had made him hate his wife more and more. Every time Serena thought of those incidents, she regretted greatly. She often thought of what she would do if she could go back but she did not expect this day to actually come.

Serena chuckled, and then laughed. Then she laughed louder and louder. Tears started to cover her face. She died and yet she didn't. She was reborn. In her last lifetime, she had loved Jake for five years and waited at his side in order to become a qualified fine lady. She learned etiquettes musical instruments, foreign languages, finance and business management on her own. She learned everything that he liked and needed. However, as hard as she had tried, she received no approval. There was only endless comparison and despise. In her last lifetime. She had lived for Jake. Now she had another chance and she would live for herself.

“Knock! Knock!” someone knocked on the door interrupting Serena’s thoughts.

“Who is it?” There was no answer but Serena had already known who it was.

She was in no rush to open the door. Checking her closet, she found a wardrobe of luxurious products. They were all picked by Lila. Each item was expensive, but none of them were suitable for her age and looks. Serena frowned and took a long time choosing. In the end. She still wore what she used to wear. It was only an ordinary brand. Although it did not match her identity, it suited her age and looks.

Reaching for her lingerie above, Serena had just put her panties on when the door of the bathroom suddenly opened, heat spreading out from it. Serena was startled. She unconsciously covered her chest, turning her back to him. He was wearing a fitted black silk robe. His muscular body shown clearly over six feet tall. He had a nice figure, his curly black hair was still dripping, his eyes fixed on her naked back. The tender skin looked like the best silk with some blue marks, showing him what a crazy night they had spent. It suddenly became awkward as silence fell. Jake did not move and Serena was too embarrassed to turn around.

“You…”

The door was knocked on again and Serena’s words were swallowed. Jake turned his eyes away and said, “Put it on.”

Jake opened the door slightly. Seeing who was outside, he frowned and asked, “Do you need something.”

Standing at the door, Lila could only see half of Jake's face. She tried to look inside and said,

“I'm here to find Serena. Is she not up yet?”
