After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1

Hannah Cooper opened her eyes and looked around with confusion.

“Where am I? Am I in a ward? Am I in the hospital?” she thought.

Wasn’t she dead already?

She touched her chest, wondering why she couldn’t find the wound.

But she remembered clearly that she’d been stabbed into the heart with a knife by her husband, Charles Sawyer, who was known as a perfect husband to all.

Was it a dream only?

If so, the dream couldn’t have been realer!

She could still remember Charles telling her in the dream, “Hannah, I’ve never loved you. And I’m tired of sleeping with you. You know what, Sarah is much better and sexier in bed, but you’re like a dead body, cold and stiff...”

In the dream, Hannah didn’t cry or make a scene. She was so well-bred that she tried everything she could to endure with the pain and then went out of breath.

“You love me a lot, right? Then go to hell so that I can be with Sarah. I’ll be grateful for you!”

He said it in a gloomy voice while pulling the knife out of her heart.

Blood spilled on his handsome and gentle face, making him look more ruthless. Then he put on a light smile, as if he was looking at a stranger instead of his loyal wife, who had been devoted to him for ten years.

In the dream, Hannah died with her eyes widely open. she swore that she wouldn’t forget and forgive his cruelty and ruthlessness.

Was it really a dream? But she could still feel the pain in her heart.

Or was she saved by someone? Could it be medical technology was so advanced that it could save a person got stabbed in the heart nowadays?

She went to the bathroom and looked herself in the mirror.

‘The heart operation made me look younger?’ She thought while being greatly impressed by the advanced medical technology.

‘Or I was having a dream? I dreamed that my husband, the one I love the most, has killed me?’ At this moment, Hannah got a lot of questions.

She turned on the phone and found it was the year of 2022 on the screen.

No way! It was impossible! There must be something wrong with the phone! She ran out of the room hastily...

The nursing worker at the door saw her awake and stopped her instantly, then called the doctors and nurses to come over and run the examinations.

“What’s the date today? Which year is it now?”Hannah was in a hurry to confirm with anyone she’d met.

They looked at her out of curiosity. Suddenly, Hannah, who seemed to have been out of her mind, quieted down.

“The concussion is gone. You can go home tomorrow.” A doctor said after the examination.

The the crowd left one after another.

After the doctor left the room, her best friend, Susan Phillips cried out happily, “Oh dear lord! It’s awesome! Thank God! I’m calling Miguel and Michelle! They’ve been staying with you here for two days. They just left for a rest this morning.”

“Susan,” Hannah, who’d been in silence, called her name out of a blue.

Susan turned around and saw Hannah looking kinda unbelievable and weeping continuously.

In fact, Hannah was making sure that she was still alive. So were her parents and Susan.

It was wonderful! She wouldn’t want to wake up if it was a dream. How she wished she could go home and see her parents now!

“Miss Cooper, my master will be here tomorrow. Please be sure to meet him then.” Suddenly, a guy said.

“Who’s your master?”

“Hannah, his master is the man who’s hit you.” Susan whispered at her ears.

“OK. I’ll make some time for him.” Hannah nodded.

She also wanted to know what had happened and why she’d been back to the day when she was 22. Or was she living in her 22, and whatever she remembered in mind was nothing but a dream?

But it didn’t make sense! If it was only a dream, she couldn’t have remembered every detail so clearly and precisely.

Or was it an accident? Was it God’s plan? Probably, God saw that. Her life was so miserable yet the evil people lived well. By no means would she let it happen again if the future was gonna be like what she remembered.

“Susan, I wanna take a break. You’d better go home and have a good rest, too. I bet you must have been tired out these few days. Don’t worry about me. I’m OK. I can go home tomorrow.” Hannah looked at Susan’s dark circles and thought Susan was worth of her best friend. But she couldn’t tell her too much since Susan was so impulsive and straightforward.

“OK, Hannah. Have a good rest. I’ll go take a nap in the restroom.” Susan had been too worried to sleep well recently. So, she lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

Hannah tucked her in and closed the door. She had to prove some things, and must prove if they were facts, predictions or only a dream.

She picked up the phone and dialed a number, “I’ll pay you 30,000, keep watch on a suite in a fancy apartment complex, and see if you can find those two people in the photo going in and out of it. I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars as deposit. And, I’ll transfer the balance payment to your bank account after you take the photos of them going through that door.”

“You got it. Send me the photo via e-mail.” the man agreed quickly on the phone.

This private detective agency was specialized in looking into love affairs.

As far as she could remember, she found Charles acting quite weirdly and she was hesitant to call the private detective agency to find out the truth in her memory. In the end, she chose to trust her husband and gave up the investigation.

So, she’d proved the first thing. The number, the detective agency and the email address did exist, and they could carry out with the investigation.

She didn’t ask for much and just needed to prove that Sandra Stein lived at that address. Then, she could prove her memories further.

Moreover, if she was found to be having an affair with Charles, that would be the third thing that needed to be proved.

If these things had been proved, she might either have the future memories or live in another parallel universe.

And, she was back to her 22 again.

Hannah figured it out slowly—here was what was going on: she’d been back to her 22, and restarted everything.

Lying on the bed, Hannah saw her parents coming in, and her eyes were red with tears abruptly. She hadn’t seen them in a long time. She missed them so much!

Her mother held her in the arms dearly and comforted her, thinking her sweet daughter must have been badly hurt in the accident, otherwise she wouldn’t have cried so hard.

In the end, Hannah got exhausted and cried herself to sleep.

Hannah had dinner with her parents, then urged them to go home and take a rest. Her bosom friend, Susan, also went home along. They saw her safe and sound, and agreed to go back and refresh themselves. They all had been exhausted these days.

...

Hannah was woken up by the phone in the middle of the night.

“Hello, my honored client. We had a lucky day. These two people happened to spend the night in the apartment last night. I’ve finished the task in only one day. I’ve got plenty of time. Would you like me to take more photos? I’ve sent the information you need via e-mail. Please transfer the balance payment ASAP if you’re pleased with my service.”

“Very well. No need to take more shots. I’ll transfer the balance payment right away. So much for our cooperation. Keep it confidential, or you’ll ruin your trust.” Hannah threatened.

“Got it. We’re professional, and won’t let the cat out of the bag. Thanks for your trust!”
