Rebirth: Love Rekindled

Pain, as if she had been run over by a truck, woke Elizabeth Bennet from her slumber. She should have been dead, so why was she feeling this agony?

Her eyes fluttered open to a voice she didnt recognize. "Youre awake?"

She turned to see a mans face, one that was entirely foreign to her.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"I should be asking you. This is my room! You just appeared here and did... this. Who sent you?" The man, Fitzwilliam Darcy, heir to the Grey fortune and CEO of Grey Enterprises, was known for his aversion to women, especially those who threw themselves at him.

Elizabeth stared blankly for a moment, then memories that were not hers flooded her mind.

"I think... I was drugged by... Rhett Butler, but I escaped before the effects took hold and stumbled here... you know the rest."

She pinched herself hard, leaving red marks on her arm. The pain confirmed it. She had been reborn.

"Is that so?" Darcys skepticism was evident. "If youre lying, youll pay the price."

"Im sorry for what happened, but I have urgent matters to attend to. Heres my number: +1XXXXXX88."

Elizabeth, feeling uneasy under Darcys cold gaze, dressed quickly and left.

Darcy watched her leave, then dialed a number.

"Find out about a woman, and do it quickly..."

That night, at the Bennet Familys ballroom, Elizabeth stood in a shadowy corner, her eyes filled with hatred as she watched Scarlett OHara laughing among the crowd. In her past life, the Bennet family had brought her, the illegitimate daughter, back to marry off Scarlett.

Scarlett had thought Darcy was disabled and didnt want to marry him, so she had Elizabeth take her place. But it turned out Darcys disability was all a ruse; he was not only handsome but also wealthy. Scarlett regretted her decision.

Thus, at her engagement party with Darcy, Elizabeth was caught with Rhett Butler under the influence of drugs, her reputation ruined. No one believed her explanations, and she was hastily married off to Rhett, living a life of torment until her death.

Scarlett, on the other hand, married Darcy and lived a life of luxury.

Though unsure why she had been reborn during such an intimate moment with a stranger, Elizabeth believed it was divine intervention, giving her a chance to right the wrongs.

She had managed to avoid being caught by Scarletts trap, but a lingering unease remained. Only by making Scarlett truly fearful could she find peace.

But how?

Spotting a waiter passing by with a tray of drinks, Elizabeth smiled knowingly and asked him to deliver a note to Miss Bennet.

As expected, Scarletts face turned pale upon reading the note, and she hurried upstairs, leaving the party.

Watching her go, Elizabeth couldnt help but smirk.

Scarlett OHara, thank you for your "care" in my previous life. Enjoy the "gift" Ive prepared for you.
