After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Rebirth and Revenge

"If this keeps up, she's gonna die! She's your fiancée!"

The doctor, sweating like crazy, tried to convince him.

The guy standing next to him had no expression on his handsome face. He just stared coldly at the woman barely hanging on in the bed.

"It would be great if she died. A woman like that doesn't deserve to be my wife."

Ouch, that hurts!

What's going on?

Wait, didn't I die after getting betrayed by my own team during that mission?

There's no way I would've survived that explosion. I should've been blown to ashes. So why does it still hurt?

Isabel slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, and she could barely make out some people in white coats moving around.

Did I survive and end up in a hospital?

Before she could make sense of it, a sharp, splitting headache hit her, and out of nowhere, a rush of memories that weren't hers came flooding in, nearly knocking her out from the pain.

Once the memories settled in, she realized what had happened. She did die, and now she had been reborn in the body of another girl with the same name, Isabel Zimmerman.

The guy in front of her, Kaleb Johnson, was supposed to be her fiancé. Today was their wedding day, but it got messed up when the original Isabel's best friend crashed the ceremony, claiming she was pregnant with Kaleb's baby. She even said they were in love and begged Isabel to step aside. Then she faked being pushed by Isabel and ended up in the hospital.

The original Isabel's best friend had an incredibly rare blood type, one that's almost impossible to find. By chance, she and Isabel had the exact same blood type.

To save the woman he loved, Kaleb had the original Isabel dragged to the hospital to force her to donate blood.

Just as these memories were starting to make sense, Isabel's thoughts were suddenly cut off by Kaleb's cold, heartless words.

"She's a vicious woman with a heart of stone. She won't die. Keep going!"

What a cruel man!

Isabel's fists tightened as a sharp pain cut through her heart.

It was a reaction she couldn't control, purely instinctive.

She knew this was the original Isabel's way of responding to the crushing hurt she'd been through.

But from now on, she was Isabel. And everyone who had wronged her would pay for it.

"She's fighting back!" the doctor yelled.

"Hold her down!" Kaleb shouted and came over to help pin down Isabel's hands.

Isabel used all her strength. First, she kicked the nurse holding her leg out of the way. Then, with a powerful move, she flipped over and shook off everyone trying to hold her down.

Sitting on the bed, Isabel narrowed her eyes and took a cold, hard look around the room.

The nurses and doctors were stunned by her sudden burst of energy, frozen in place and unable to move.

Kaleb stepped up, glaring at Isabel. "Isabel, what's your problem? Get back down! Eva still needs help!"

Isabel stared at Kaleb, her face blank and her voice laced with annoyance. "Who do you think you are? Why should I sacrifice myself to save Eva?"

"Why? How can you even ask that?" Kaleb shouted, his anger boiling over. "If you hadn't pushed her, would she be in danger?"

"Huh!" Isabel scoffed. "Are you deaf or what? I've already said it. Eva is faking it. She fell on purpose and tried to blame me."

The original Isabel had tried to explain this to Kaleb over and over in the chapel, but he just wouldn't believe her.

"Enough! I saw you push her with my own eyes. Even now, you still won't admit it!" Kaleb looked at Isabel with complete disgust.
