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.

Chapter 24

 I leaned back in my chair, making sure to catch his eye, my smile never wavering.

Jessica's hand froze mid-motion, and she turned to me with an exaggerated gasp. "Oh my gosh, Kiara, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, her voice dripping with fake innocence.

 Her wide eyes fluttered as she leaned back, giving me just enough space to make her little display seem accidental. 

Then, with an almost playful flick of her wrist, she "accidentally" knocked over her glass, spilling a few drops on the table in my direction. "Oops! Sorry, Kiara."

I kept my smile tight, not letting her antics get to me, though my fingers itched to grab her by the throat. "No harm done, Jessica," I said, voice smooth. I wiped the droplets off the table with a napkin, not breaking eye contact with her. "Just be careful next time, hmm?"
