Death & Second chance

1834 Words
Alina’s pov The cold water shrouded my body as the stab wound in my heart was slowly taking out my soul. I was dying underneath the cold water. Where did everything go wrong??? Were my eyes too blind to see it??? The person who stabbed my heart was wearing a wolf mask, whereas his body was covered in a black raincoat. I tried to snatch the mask from their face, yet they pushed me off my balcony with a strong force and my body fell straight into the huge fountain in the garden. My blood turned the fountain water red. I couldn't even have the strength to stand. If only life would give me another chance to fix my mistakes… *Last breath Slowly my sight went blank and my soul left my body. . . . My eyes opened again. I was in my father's house, in my room, in my very own bed. “What is this?” “Is this a dream?” All of a sudden… Sara, my personal maid, entered my room with breakfast. My eyes widened with shock. “SARA?” “YOU'RE ALIVE?” I screamed with happiness. Then it hit me suddenly… “You're Sara's ghost, right?” She gently rested the breakfast tray on the small wooden table next to my bed, and came closer. “Are you sick, Madam?” Her palm touched my forehead to check my temperature. “Huh? What do you mean?” My brows furrowed. “Because you're talking nonsense, Madam.” She replied sarcastically. “Wait…so you're really alive?” “Of course, Madam.” Something was strange!! Sara was my personal maid and she accompanied me to my in-laws house even after my marriage. But soon after entering that house…she killed herself by stabbing her own heart and was found dead the next morning in her room in the maid's quarters. She was my only companion in that wicked house. Tears rolled down my eyes and I hugged her tightly. “Thank you for being alive” “Thank you so much.” Wait a minute… If Sara is alive…does that mean I survived my death as well??? My eyes carefully looked at Sara's face one more time…and she appeared to be different. Her appearance was back to the way she was before my marriage. Same short brown hair, innocent light brown eyes, and shiny tan skin. “Sara” “Yes, Madam?” “W-hat year is it?” I just wanted to know. “2021…did you forget that?” Sara was confused. OH MY GOD!!! 2021… My ears couldn't believe it. I died in 2024 at the age of 27…then how come the year changed??? Does that mean my last death wish was fulfilled by the Moon Goddess??? Did she send me back in time??? I knelt down on the floor and started crying my heart out. It was my second chance to survive and be happy once and for all. I don't want to know who killed me…I don't want revenge either…I just want to survive and find happiness. Thank you Moon Goddess. Thank you so much. My life was a tragedy…it was cursed to the point that even death was acceptable. Everything started from my marriage with Kian Cruz, the youngest son of the powerful Cruz family. My name is Alina Ortiz, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My family was beyond rich and one of the most important families of Silver Falls, a town located on the outskirts of Spain. Levi Ortiz, my father and Storm Ortiz, my step-brother had a strong and vast business empire. My mother ran away with her secret lover and abandoned us when I was just six years old. Father was worried about my upbringing, so he married Mary, his secretary, who lost her husband in a car accident and already had a son of seven years old…Storm. Mary loved me like her own daughter. To be honest, she loved me more than Storml, whereas Storm was always a good protective brother. Despite having different blood in our veins, we were a happy family. But one distratous day… Someone from Father's company stole all the documents and money. After that incident half of the workers left our company and even the important business partners started demanding their shares. It turned into a horrendous mess and my family ended up in a huge debt. Father took a loan from a big hot-shot that I never met, but he was a dangerous man, and very powerful. With that loan he paid those workers who left our company, and some of his important business partners…but our problem was far from solved. We were out of money, and the remaining savings were for our future. That loan guy started pressurizing Father, he would threaten him all the time. We were scared, really scared. One day Father reached out to his old friend from University…David Cruz, the present Alpha of our clan Blue Blood. Apparently, it turned out they had a long forgotten promise. I was destined to marry Kian Cruz, who was also 24 as me in 2021 since we both were born on the same cold day…30th December 1997. The time when that promise was made…the Cruz family was rich, but not powerful. All of a sudden something strange happened and David Cruz became the Alpha of our clan overnight. Once he came into power…our families lost contact with each other only to be reunited again in the name of that same forgotten promise. It was unexpected from the Cruz family, but they remembered their promise. David Cruz accepted me as his daughter-in-law for his son even though I was a weak omega. Father thought my marriage with Kian Cruz will keep our family safe for a while…no one will dare to mess with the Cruz family's in-laws. David Cruz was his good friend, he even promised father to help him pay off his debt. And just like that I became the price to pay off my family's debt. Kian appeared to be a gentleman on our first meeting, he was sweet, caring, and a perfect man. We were engaged for three months, and those three months were truly blissful. I slowly started falling for him. Little did my heart know what was coming for me in the near future. As soon as we got married, things changed, Kian Changed, and my in-laws revealed their true colors. Kian abandoned me on our first night. I called him so many times, but he never answered those calls. The next day, all the maids, even the guards turned me into a laughing stock. My pain was entertaining them. When I asked my mother-in-law…she said my appearance wasn't appealing to lure his precious son. It didn't end there!! One year after our marriage, he brought a woman home…his mistress. Kian never came to my room, he never talked to me, he never cared for me…because he had someone else in his life. No one said a word to him, and my lips were quiet for the sake of my family. Whenever Father, Mother or Storm visited me…I would always meet them with a happy smile. Kian never even bothered to meet or greet them. My lips always lied for him to my family. I tried so hard to grab his attention, but his mistress never left his side. Before my marriage with Kian, I used to be a nurse in a small hospital. My pay wasn't that big, but it was my passion to treat patients with love and kindness. My mother-in-law asked me to leave my job and only focus on Kian. I didn't go against her command and left my job. Sara was my personal maid and after her death things became even more difficult…because there was no one by my side in the big Cruz family. They didn't even investigate her death. Kian’s two sisters would always abuse me behind closed doors, make fun of my appearance in front of their friends, and take my clothes and jewelry that I received as a gift from our guests. But I was still quiet. Kian would always spend time with his mistress…he was f*cking her in our bedroom, whereas I slept on the terrace…every single night. David Cruz was supposed to consider me as his daughter, he was father's good friend, after all. But he was the worst. Even for a small mistake he would scold me with the most pathetic words, and Sometimes he would lock me in the basement as a form of punishment. They corner me in that big mansion. I was the only one who used to eat in my room when everyone else was giggling and smiling together at the dining table downstairs. Sometimes the maids would even forget to serve me dinner. I had spent many sleepless nights starving. When I was sick…the Cruz family's doctor said I was doing it for attention. Nothing was wrong with me. Slowly depression shrouded my calm peaceful mind and destroyed my innocence. I was once beaten by my mother-in-law for entering her room without her permission. It was one of the many incidents. That's how pathetic it was. As if it wasn't enough Uncle David's sister, Diana Cruz, framed me for stealing her necklace. Shockingly, they even found that necklace in my wardrobe. It was all planned. I was locked in my room for days without food and water for the crime I never committed. My bones were now visible!! My beauty was gone!! The day they opened the door was the same day David informed me about my parents’ death. Father and Mother hung themselves in their bedroom, whereas my brother was missing. The Cruz family held my family's funeral in my absence and closed the case. Just when my father was gone…David started demanding money from me that he lended to Father for his debt. Every day in that mansion and with those people around was a mental torture. David Cruz had three sons and soon he announced that his oldest son will take over the Alpha's throne after him. He was living abroad since childhood and that's why no one was aware of his presence, not even me. A few days later after the announcement… His eldest son came back to Silver Falls, but I never got the chance to meet him…because it was the day of my death. *Deep breath This is my second chance!! I must survive this chance at any cost. First, I need to go to that Father's debt Collector and settle the situation with him, so my family doesn't have to go to David Cruz for help. But there was a slight problem… The debt collector lives abroad. “I will use my savings and meet him...no matter what. Also, I deserve a vacation after coming back from death."
