In My Rebirth, I Drown the Cheating ManChapter 1

I died in the year I finally fell for him.

He jumped off that cliff, and we were both shattered into pieces.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day I married him.

In front of everyone's stunned faces, I ran to him without hesitation. "Damien, I'm so relieved to see you!"

Damien, momentarily speechless, pulled me into his arms, his jaw set. "We'll deal with this later."

We fell from the cliff, the force nearly tearing us apart.

But he held on to me tightly, never letting go.

"Amelia, don't be afraid. I'm always going to be with you."

At that moment, he was on the verge of achieving everything he'd ever dreamed of, yet he threw it all away for me, leaping without a second thought.

I jolted awake, shivering from the cold wind.

I looked at the dimly lit lake, disoriented.

Where am I?

It looked strangely familiar.

Tristan Reid's face lit up with surprise as I woke. "Amelia, you're finally awake. Soon, we'll be able to leave this place and start the life we've always wanted."

I stared at Tristan beside me, stunned. Was this the scene of our elopement on my wedding night with Damien, instigated by Tristan?

A chill ran through me, and without a second thought, I shoved him off the boat.

"Tristan, I warned you. If I survived, I'd make you pay."

Now that I had a second chance, I wasn't about to let his schemes succeed again.

Tristan struggled in the water, surfacing with a look of disbelief. "Amelia, what are you talking about? What's wrong? I'm your husband."

"Husband?" I scoffed. "What husband are you? Don't try to play the concerned spouse with me again. Do you really think I'll fall for it twice?"

I glanced around, quickly grabbing an oar and pushing him back underwater.

Tristan, you despicable man, you tore me away from Damien and destroyed my family. I'd love nothing more than to finish this myself.

When Damien arrived, this was the scene he walked into:

There I was, still in my wedding dress, using an oar to push Tristan around in the icy lake.

Tristan kept struggling to get back to the surface, his face turning a ghostly white from the cold.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Damien was baffled. Wasn't Amelia running away with her lover Tristan? Why is she now attacking him in the water? Is she sure he's her lover and not her enemy?
