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.

I cleared my throat, feeling the room grow smaller under everyone's gaze. "Um, this is Jessica, my… friend," I said, pausing as I forced the word out. "And Gabriel, my boyfriend."
