Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1 She is… Dead?

Kisa Becker was in the women’s prison. She held her bulging belly and slowly crawled toward the door. She had been locked in for three days, and because of one man’s order, she had eaten nothing until now. 

The floor near the doorway was strewn with breadcrumbs. Kisa stretched out her painful red hand. She picked up the dirty and cold hard breadcrumbs and put them into her mouth. 

Suddenly, the door opened. A voice said, “You have a visitor.” 

Before Kisa could rejoice, she was roughly dragged out of the cell, cleaned up, and pushed into a visiting room. Through the bars, she finally saw the man she had loved for ten years. 

Kisa held back her tears. “How is Grandma?” 

“How could you still have the nerve to ask?” Gilbert Kooper grabbed her by the neck with a ruthless look on his face as if he was going to kill her. “Thanks to you, Grandma will never wake up again. 

“I can overlook the fact that you climbed into my bed on purpose and abducted Sara, but you shouldn’t have harmed Grandma.” 

Kisa repeatedly shook her head. She had adored Gilbert since she was a child. But ever since she learned that the person he loved was Sara Mitchell, she carefully kept her feelings to herself. 

One day on her twentieth birthday, Kisa woke up naked and hungover in Gilbert’s bed. A month later, she was found to be pregnant. Gilbert’s grandmother threatened to kill herself unless Gilbert married Kisa. After the marriage, he became so disgusted with her that he never came home for the night. 

At first, Kisa thought they could live in peace for the rest of their lives. But then Sara disappeared, followed by a phone call from Gilbert’s grandmother telling Kisa she had something important to ask Kisa. But when she opened the door, the old lady was seen lying on the floor covered in blood. 

“Gilbert, I didn’t hurt your grandma. For the sake of the baby, please trust me for once.” Kisa pleaded with him. 

“The baby?” Gilbert’s icy gaze fell on her bulging belly. “Get rid of it. Your child is too dirty!” 

The man’s heartless words stabbed into her heart like a knife. 

“Tell me where Sara is if you still have any conscience left.” 

Kisa was in complete despair. She shrilled, “I didn’t hurt your grandma. I didn’t abduct Sara. Why don’t you believe me? This is the Kooper family’s child; why do you have to be so cruel? Why?” 

The man narrowed his eyes. “You are really obstinate. Since this is the case, you may atone for your sins in prison.” 

Kisa broke down and pounded on the bars as the man departed without showing her mercy. 

“Kisa.”
