“The truth is, Stephanie didn’t push Yasmin down the stairs,” Jack stated between sobs as heleaned against the wall. “I saw everything from downstairs.”
“Just get to the point!” Michael demanded coldly.
Jack said, “Eva and I were at your place that day. Yasmin and Stephanie got into a heatedargument and Yasmin… She accidentally fell down the stairs. It wasn’t Stephanie’s fault.”
Then, he cried and confessed, “Okay, I lied. I purposely framed Stephanie… I didn’t speak up forher.”
Without saying anything, Michael grabbed Jack’s collar. In a sudden burst of fury, he struck Jacksquarely in the face.
Jack’s panic surged as the force of the punch struck him. “Why the hell are you hitting me?” heshouted desperately. “You were the one who doubted her!”
With uncontrollable rage driving him, Michael landed another punch on Jack as if he aimed to killJack.
I looked at Rachel and asked, “No one’s going to die, right?”
Rachel clenched her fists. “Well, Jack deserves it.”
I nodded. Jack was unmistakably a scoundrel, and what he did to me would remain etched in mymemory forever.
“Michael, why the hell are you still hitting me?” Jack coughed up blood. His agony deepened as hefelt the jagged edge of a broken tooth.
“What makes you think you have the right to hit me? Do you think I’m blind to what’s happening
between you and Stephanie?
“You’ve slept with her, right? Yet, you refuse to admit it! Why?
“Why is it acceptable for you to be intimate with her but not me? Every damn time Ltouched her,she went ballistic. Despite her pretense of innocence, you’ve been intimate with her…”
Jack had a habit of spilling everything when he was agitated.
Michael’s face turned red with embarrassment. He grabbed Jack’s head and slammed it against thewall. He roared, “Did you fucking touch her?”
Jack was terrified, and he tried to escape. Unfortunately, Michael caught him and pinned himagainst the wall again. novelbin
Michael shouted frantically, “Tell me, what did you do to her?”

I thought that being reincarnated would rid me of such bitter memories, but reliving these painfulmoments still sent shivers down my spine.
I stormed into the room as my emotions were in turmoil. After shoving Michael aside, I grabbedJack by the collar and smacked his face. Then, consumed by a frenzy, I continued to hit himrelentlessly.
“Why don’t you go to hell!” My grip on Jack’s collar tightened as the urge to strangle him rosewithin

Jack, battered by Michael’s earlier assault, lay sprawled on the ground. He looked at me with afeeble smile. “Stephanie… you… you’re alive…”
When I heard that, my body tensed up, and I instinctively kicked his abdomen.
Suddenly, he laughed hysterically. “Stephanie… I didn’t mean to kill you… it was never myintention.” Amidst his laughter, tears cascaded down his cheeks, and soon, they turned into audiblecries.
It dawned on me that his remorse wasn’t for killing me but for the consequences it brought uponhim. He was grappling with the notion that my demise had shattered his world.
I screamed at Jack, “I can’t believe you think a simple ‘I didn’t mean to kill her! will fix everything!
“You’re damned! Your filthy sins will stick to you like stench forever! Just go to hell!” With
uncontrollable rage, I kicked him frantically.
“And you, Michael! You’re no better!” I glared at him with my bloodshot eyes as I gritted my teeth. Inmy eyes, he bore the weight of utmost condemnation.
His suspicious gaze lingered on me as he asked, “Who are you?”
I took a deep breath and smiled sarcastically. “I’m your mother.”
Michael lowered his head and chuckled self–deprecatingly.
“No, it can’t be… she’s already dead,” he muttered, retreating a step and bracing himself againstthe wall. “She’s long gone! Even if you bear her likeness… you’re not her.”
My fists tightened as I shot him a look of pure disgust. “Stephanie didn’t push Yasmin down thestairs. Both of you are murderers! You both deserve punishment!”
Rachel hurried over and pulled me away. “Michael, open your eyes! It’s Yasmin who’s been settingup Stephie from the start. She’s the one who killed Stephie!”
Michael said nothing as he leaned against the wall.
