Rebirth into my Second Chance Chapter 1

Chapter

In the small, tightknit neighborhood of Ironridge Township, a tragic fire erupted during the annual Memorial Day barbecue, claiming numerous lives

My beloved husband, Claude Hart, was a fierce attomey known for never losing a case. In a controversial move to defend his first crush, Kate Goodwin, accused of arson in selfdefense, Claude convicted three individuals posthumously, unaware one of them was me, carrying his unbom child

When he discovered the harrowing truth, he wept at my gravesite, his mind shattered by grief

In court, my spirit hovered, watching Claude fiercely defend Kate with the eloquence and determination that made him the most feared attorney in Crestview Metropolis

With every slide of the laser pointer over the gruesome images of the charred bodies, his disdain was palpable

Claude didn’t smile at his beloved Kate until he won the case. Kate’s action is selfdefense. The criminals had started the fire. So, I submit to the judge that Kate is not guilty of murder and arson. The criminals set the fire and cause their deaths. They had it coming!” 

His victory won applause

Well said, Mr. Hart! Thanks for protecting a woman’s right to selfdefense.” 

It is a triumph of justice.” 

But my spirit mocked their ignorance. No one knew one of those bodies was mine, wrongly accused by my husband.8 

Kate and I had been hiking that fateful day, both kidnapped, but people acknowledged her plight only. Blurred memories of my death haunted me. The monsters drowned me in acid, and my body was reduced to nothing before somehow being counted among the victims of the fire

Upon leaving the courtroom, Claude received a call from his mother, Gabrielle Hart. Claude, you’ve been so wrapped up in the case, and I didn’t want to bother you, but Claire hasn’t been home for days, and her phone is off 

I was an orphan, adopted by the Hart family after my parents, who were their loyal bodyguards, died protecting Claude

Seeing my plight, Gabrielle showed me kindness unlike any other in the Hart family

Ignore her. She’s grown too headstrong. She knows her way home. She was hiking with Kate. If anything, her silence put Kate in danger. It’s high time she learned her lesson, Claude coldly dismissed Gabrielle’s concems.3 

His indifference stung. That was the man my parents died for, who promised to care for me forever. But when Kate returned, my place in his heart and home crumbled to nothing.8 

Clinging to Claude, Kate played the victim. Does Mrs. Hart dislike me that much? Despite being the real victim here?” 

Claude reassured her, blaming me for not coming forward sooner, painting me as a selfish and ungrateful woman

Listening to their conversation, all I could do was laugh bitterly at the cruel twist of fate

Claude, do you even realize one of those you condemned today was me? How unfair you are to only worry about Kate, never once considering my fate, I cried, unseen and unheard

As my tears fell unseen, Claude walked through me, his final words a testament to his true feelings. We never should have taken her in. Too cunning by far.

At last, my spirit lingered, a painful reminder of the heartbreak and injustice bome out of love and sacrifice.I
