Rebirth: Take Back My EverythingChapter 1
Just as we were leaving my in-laws' house, a girl named Shelly Hill suddenly dropped to her knees in front of me, tears streaming down her face. "Please, help me! Take me away! My dad wants to marry me off to some old poor guy for money."
I looked at her tear-streaked face but didn't say anything.
Ashley, seeing her distress, reached out to help her up. When I stayed silent, she kept pleading, "Please, save me! I can work and earn money. I just want to get away from my dad. I don't want to marry."
Her eyes were full of tears, and anyone would have felt sorry for her.
But having been reborn, I knew how cruel she really was.
In my past life, she knelt before me in the same way. Not wanting to see a young girl’s life controlled by her father, I brought her home without much thought.
Within a few days, she got along well with Patrick. Not just Patrick, even my mother-in-law, Diane, who rarely visited, praised her endlessly.
As my pregnancy progressed and I became more burdened, and since she hadn’t found a suitable job, Diane suggested Shelly stay home to take care of me, with a monthly salary from me.
