Love In Disguise: Rebirth of the Heiress

“I'm sorry, Kiara," he began, his voice heavy with regret. "We regret to inform you that we can no longer administer these drugs to you.” I was dying. I was going to die. Kiara Williams was dying from Stomach Cancer. With only a few months to live, she could only stay at the hospital. Alone. Her annoying husband did not come and visit her, only her best friend, Jessica remained by her side. She could no longer pay the bills and was sent home. Arriving at her house she caught Jessica and her husband together in bed. In a fight, her husband pushed Kiara down the stairs. Kiara died. Or did she? She was reborn ten years back, but rather than being destroyed, she begged a strange man for a one night stand unless she may die again.

"Oh!" I blinked, stopping just short of barreling into Jessica. Her expression morphed from mild annoyance to that unsettlingly sweet smile she wore when she was scheming.

"Kiara," she said, tone dripping with fake warmth. "Didn't expect to see you around here. You hardly come to this side of the floor."

I straightened, meeting her gaze without an ounce of warmth. "Jessica. Just passing through," I replied, nonchalant, forcing a casual smile.

"Passing through Gabriel's office?" she asked, her eyebrow arching as she folded her arms, leaning in with interest. "Strange. I thought you two weren't exactly… close these days. You said you wanted to break up. Which is quite shocking for me."

"Isn't it normal for coworkers to drop by?" I tilted my head, mirroring her curiosity, even as I felt irritation prickling under my skin. "What about you? You seem to be in his office an awful lot lately. From what I know you got promoted into another office."
