Reborn At Eighteen
A smile appeared on her face as she waited for the pain. THUD! As her body collided with the ground, Amira suddenly gasped and woke up from the bed. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stared at her hands in disbelief. She clearly died from the fall and could still feel some lingering pain in her bones. How could she be completely fine now?. Wait a minute. She looked around and found that the room looked familiar. The old bookshelf, the broken window, the old bedbug-infested bed—this was her home in the small village where she lived with her grandpa. She quickly ran out of the room, not caring if she was dreaming or not. She went to the sitting room, but her grandpa wasn't there. “Amira, you finally woke up.” Sima said while smiling at her sweetly. Amira found the smile really creepy, as this aunt never liked her, nor does she care if she dies from starvation. She ignores her aunt and walks up to the calendar on the wall. “Umm, Aunt Sima, what is today's date?” She asked. “What! Has your grandpa's death made you lose your mind?” It's just three days after your grandpa's death,” she asked with a sarcastic tone. Three days after grandpa's death? How is this possible? Grandpa died in 2015, when I was just eighteen years old. This means I came seven years ago, in 2022. God must have seen all my suffering and given me another chance to live my best life. “What is wrong with her?” Edward asked his wife as soon as he saw Amira's weird behavior. “I don't know; she is acting weird,” she replied without bothering to raise her head. Their discussion brought Amira back from her thoughts. “Mom, she is leaving tomorrow, right?” Lisa asked. "Yes, sweetie, her father is coming to take her back to the city, Sima replied to her daughter. “I want her room, dad,” Lisa said while looking at her dad. “In your dreams,” Amira replied before her uncle. “What do you mean by that? Your grandpa died, and you are going back to the city to live with your family. Do you expect us to continue paying rent for our little apartment and leave this house empty?” Sima said it angrily while glaring at Amira. “Someone that hears you now will think you actually killed your father-in-law,” Amira sneered. “What has gotten into you? Is that how you talk to your elders?” Edward asked with anger evident in his tone. “I was just stating my observations and nothing more,” she replied without even raising her head. She turns and heads back to her room. The couple share a puzzled look. “Did you notice the coldness in her eyes?”She used to be so easy to manipulate and gullible, but now she seems like a totally different person,” Sima said with a puzzled expression. “She is leaving tomorrow, and that is all that matters,” Edward said without much expression on his face. The next morning, as early as 7 a.m., Amira was awakened by the sounds of knocking on her room door. “What took you so long to open the door?” Sima asked angrily as soon as the door was opened. “I don't remember asking you to wake me,” Amira replied impatiently. “Am I not doing this for your own good? I know you don't have any presentable clothes, so I brought one of Lisa's gowns for you to wear, and you are being ungrateful." Sima said as she threw the dress at her angrily and walked away. Two hours later, Amira walked down the stairs with a little suitcase. She takes her grandpa's photo frame from the sitting room cabinet and walks out the door. “Please drive carefully; our Mira gets scared easily,” Sima said while sharing a few crocodile tears. “I will miss my sister so much,” Lisa said, joining her mother's drama. “Don't you feel ashamed of yourself; even a blind man can tell that you are pretending,” Amira said with a sneer and got into the car. As soon as the car left her grandpa's compound, she could feel the driver's eyes on her, but she acted like she didn't notice. She remembers him very well. He was the same driver who also came to pick her up in her previous life. One of her stepmother's loyal servants. The driver suddenly changes routes and takes a lonely and secluded road. In her previous life, this was the same road where she was kidnapped and almost raped. The driver slowed down and continually checked his phone as if he were waiting for a signal. “What…what are you doing, Miss?” the driver asked in fear as Amira suddenly placed a fruit knife on his neck. “Start talking!” Amira ordered while pressing the knife on his neck, which caused him to start bleeding. “I don't understand what you mean,” the driver replied with fear in his eyes. “I can kill you right now, and no one will suspect a thing. So you better start talking, "she threatened. “It was madam who asked me to take you here and wait for a signal from the people she hired. I don't know anything else,” he said with a fearful and pleading voice. “It seems like my stepmother never intended to welcome me." She chuckled. “I can turn the car around and take you home. Please just put the knife down,” the driver pleaded. “There is no guarantee that you won't report to my stepmother if I let you go, so...” She immediately slits throat and watched coldly until he took his last breath. She gets out of the car and takes her suitcase from the booth. She started walking back to the original road. Suddenly, several sounds of gunshots rang out on the quiet road. Amira follows the sound to see what is going on. She is shocked when she sees several armed men continually shooting at a car with tinted windows. They seem to be more focused on the driver's side. They stopped when they were sure that the victim wouldn't survive. As soon as they left, she walked up to the car, a Mercedes-BBenz C300. She finds a stone to break the driver's side window. The driver, with more than ten bullet holes in his body, came into view. He was clearly dead already, as no one can survive after being shot several times, with some of the bullets hitting some vital parts. While still observing the driver's condition, she suddenly felt chills run down her spine, and she raised her head to look at the back seat, only to meet a pair of cold blue eyes staring at her wearily.Suspected "Hello, sir,” she said, trying to speak to him. She could tell he was injured just by looking at his unusually pale face and the cold beads of sweat on his forehead."Sir, I can help you,” she said as she opened the back door to check on his injury. “What are you doing?!” she asked as she dodged his attack and immediately held him down. She easily subdued him because he was injured.“I want to help you, sir,” she said, but he quickly moved his body to the other side to protect something that was covered up on the car seat."Sir, you can trust me; I promise to help you,” she pleaded softly, and the man turned his face towards her. They locked eyes for a few seconds before he finally moved closer to her without any hostility. “Please move closer so I can have a better view.” She breathed a sigh of relief as he moved closer, making the thing he was protecting visible.“Is the baby okay?” she asked, quickly making her way to the other side of the car and opening the door to c
Shocked The guards dragged her to an empty room and locked the door.“How annoying; I should have just minded my business,” she muttered with a frown before sitting down in a corner.Meanwhile, the baby wouldn't stop crying, no matter what the man did. He had to even take him to a doctor to check if there was anything wrong with him.“The baby is perfectly healthy, and there is definitely nothing wrong,” the doctor said after a series of checks.“So you are telling me that he is just crying for no reason?” The man asked angrily.The doctor just bowed his head in fear, as he didn't want the man to take his anger out on him.“Sir, if you don't mind me asking,was there someone else holding him before you took him?” The doctor asked with a whisper-like voice.“Yes, what does that have to do with anything?” The man asked with a deep frown.“Babies have a way of choosing who to get along with and who they want to be around. So he must be crying for that person, and I will advise you to cal
Leo's POV I just stared at the little lump of flesh that had fainted out of fright. Seb called for a doctor, and she was placed on the bed next to mine.“Who is she?” Camilla asked with a curious voice.“She is the one that saved my life,” I replied to her while staring at the unconscious girl.“Seb, what did you find out about her?” I asked with a serious tone.“Her name is Amira Davis; she is the daughter of Johnson Davis, the CEO of Davis Enterprises. She is 18 years old and was returning to the city from the country side,” Seb reported without delay.I just nodded and turned to look at the girl again. The image of the brave little girl who saved my life was still very fresh in my memory.“Umm, boss, there is actually something else,” Seb said with a hesitant tone.“What is it?” I asked him with a frown.“She also has the amulet,” he said with a hesitant voice.“Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked with a shocked expression.“That means she is the one,” Camilla said while
Amira’s POV I just kept staring out of the car window as the driver drove towards the Davis mansion. So many things are different; even the fashion trend is backwards. My brain was busy formulating a plan on how I would use the knowledge from my previous life to dominate in this new life.“You seem lost." Seb’s voice came from the front passenger seat.His voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and that was when I realized that we were already in front of a mall.“Why are we here? You don't need to get me the phone; I don't like owing favors,” I said without getting out of the car.“We are the ones that owe you a favor for saving our boss's life,” he said with a smile.“But apart from getting you a new phone, I don't think that you want to go home looking like this,” he said while pointing a finger at me.I looked at my dress and noticed that there were blood stains on it, and it was quite glaring.“Okay, let's go,” I said, getting out of the car. We walked into the mall, and he asked
Amira’s POV As soon as we entered the mansion, we noticed a large gathering of people in the sitting room.“My poor child!”“Only God knows the terrible things that must have happened to her.”“I have been preparing for her arrival for days now, but how would I have known that fate had other plans for us?”Just from the annoyingly high-pitched voice alone, I already knew that it was definitely my stepmother being a drama queen as usual.I gestured for Seb to stop so that I could observe what was going on properly.“Young man, are you sure that the car you saw belongs to my family?” My father asked the young man in front of him."Yes, sir, I am one hundred percent sure that it's your car. The late driver and I used to be very good friends.I saw how the car was attacked by bandits, and everyone inside was killed,” the young man said.He was clearly lying, but his tone was quite convincing. He turned around to whisper something to one of the men behind him, and that was when I saw his
Amira’s POV I really didn't expect Sasha to make such a vicious move on my first day. I definitely wasn't going to allow myself to die so easily. I was thinking of how to stop myself from getting hurt when I suddenly felt a strong hand around my waist.After taking a deep breath, I turned to see Sebastian's worried face as he stared at me without blinking."Thanks, Seb; I am fine,” I said before turning around to glare at Sasha.She immediately hid behind her mother, who was also glaring at me maliciously.“Thank you so much for saving my daughter again,” my father said while checking my body for possible injuries.“I am fine, father; I didn't fall,” I said, but it didn't ease his tensed expression.“Don't you know that it is not safe to run on the stairs? I know the house you grew up in doesn't have this, but you need to learn this for your safety,” my stepmom said with an expression that showed nothing but concern.I got the message anyway; she might be able to fool my father, but
Leo's POV “Cam, go get ready for the Giovanni’s party,” I said to my sister, who was starting to get on my nerves.“I brought a dress for the party, and I also got a suit for you,” she said with a smirk.“You really think you are smart, right?” I asked with a tired sigh.“I don't see anything wrong with spending a little time with my big brother,” she said with a slight grin, which intensified my headache.“Just tell me what you want already,” I said with an irritated voice.“I want you to get her admission to my school,” she said with a pleading tone.“Her? You mean Amira?” I asked with a surprised tone, as I wasn't expecting her to make such a request.I was expecting her to ask for more money or beg me to take away her bodyguards, but not this.“I really like her, and she is not scared of me like the others. I will also be able to keep an eye on her for you,” she said in one breath.“I will have a word with Mr. and Mrs. Giovanni about her admission,” I assured her with a smile.“I
Amira’s POV “Hello, I know that I am handsome, but you don't need to be so stunned,” Bryan said with a cocky smile.His voice snapped me out of my shock, and I just scoffed at him.“You wish,” I said with a sneer, and his expression immediately changed.“Amira, why are you being rude to him? I brought my friend to meet you, but you are being rude to him. Do you know who he is?” Sasha asked angrily.“He is probably an asshole that wants to get into your pants,” I replied with an innocent smile.“You better watch your mouth, bitch, or I will.”“You will what punk?” Camilla's voice interrupted him from behind us.I turned around to see her holding two glasses of wine with a very angry expression.“She was the one that was being rude to me,” he explained with a frightened expression.I can't believe I fell in love with such a punk in my last life. Well, in my defense, he was more mature than he is now.“Didn't I just warn you to stay away from her?” Cam asked Sasha, who was looking scare
