Dead Didn't End My Revenge Chapter 01

They say dying for love is tragedy.
They're wrong.
Dying for revenge is justice.
The day the real heiress came home, my nightmare began.
I gave her everything—my kidney, my blood, even my unborn child.
All for the man who once whispered, "Marry me and I'll protect you forever."
But when I lay on that operating table, hearing him say, without hesitation,
"Save Shaylee. Let Miranda die.
"She owed Shaylee everything."
—I realized there was only one way to make him remember me forever.
So I planned.
On my last day alive, I made sure every camera was pointed at him.
The perfect husband.
The perfect liar.
He watched me fall from the tenth floor, still believing I'd forgive him someday.
"Miranda, open your eyes!" he screamed.
I did.
But only in his nightmares.
***
The Wright family had become the center of a scandal.
Miranda wasn't actually their biological daughter.
The real daughter, Shaylee, had spent twelve years in the struggling Wolfe household.
Upon returning, she reclaimed the surname Wright.
Miranda knew her place in the family was slipping away, so she set her sights on Demetrius, who was supposed to marry Shaylee. She seduced him, hoping marriage would secure her future.
That day, every news outlet in the city ran the story.
To protect her grandson's reputation, Danna Serrano forced Demetrius to marry Miranda.
But he and Shaylee had always had feelings for each other, and the shock of Danna's demand left Shaylee gravely ill. Tests revealed acute kidney failure, and she needed an immediate transplant.
The only compatible donor was Miranda.
The Wrights knelt before her, begging her to save Shaylee's life.
Miranda refused, turning her back on every kindness they had shown her.
Shaylee's condition worsened rapidly.
***
"Miranda's heartless. The Serrano family seriously got the short end of the stick with her."
"No kidding. The Wrights finally got their daughter back, and now they might lose her again."
"Miranda won't even give up one kidney. What an ingrate!"
The chatter went on.
Miranda listened until she went numb.
No one knew the truth—her body couldn't handle a transplant.
Her hand rested on her belly, where a life was growing—her child with Demetrius.
For her baby, she would never give up a kidney. No one could make her.
Their wedding fell on New Year's Day, with snow blanketing the city.
Miranda, wearing a cheap wedding dress, was dropped off at the gates of the Serrano's mansion. She shivered, her lips purple from the cold.
But the warm orange glow from inside the house filled her with hope.
No matter what people said or how they misunderstood her, she was marrying Demetrius.
For years, he'd been the distant dream she could never touch, the man she'd loved quietly.
She raised her hand to knock, but a soft, sweet voice drifted from inside.
It was Shaylee.
"Demi, Mira won't give me her kidney. I'm dying, and I haven't even become your bride yet. I don't want to leave you."
Her trembling voice made Demetrius frown. He drew her into his arms like she might break.
"Hey, don't worry," he said. "I'll make her do it. I already talked to the hospital. Tomorrow, she goes straight to the operating room. You just focus on getting ready for the surgery. Everything's going to be fine."
His mellow, deep voice made Miranda's heart skip a beat.
She couldn't believe those cruel words were coming from the man she'd spent years loving.
Shaylee buried her face in his neck, crying. "Demi, I don't get it. Why won't she help me? It's just one kidney. My parents even knelt in front of her, and she didn't care."
"Because she's cruel," Demetrius said. "Stop crying. She isn't worth it."
"You only agreed to marry her because of me. That must've been so hard for you. I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize. I failed to protect you. You were away from your family for years because of all this. And with your condition, you need those transfusions all the time. Keeping Miranda close makes sure you get help."
Their conversation shattered all of Miranda's hope.
That was why Demetrius had accepted the marriage without hesitation, though he'd never said a kind word to her.
He had wanted her kidney from the beginning, and her blood as well.
She and Shaylee were both Rh‑negative, rare enough that they'd been switched at birth.
Miranda had once told herself that night with Demetrius was a mistake, that Shaylee had drugged him.
Now the truth sank into Miranda.
Demetrius had planned it from the start.
And the life behind the door was a trap she'd never escape.
The day after the wedding, Miranda vanished.
The Serrano and Wright families searched the entire city, but she was nowhere to be found.
They finally went to the police, but nothing turned up.
March 1st. The first day of school for elementary students.
Miranda, her pregnant belly heavy, walked slowly into her first-grade classroom.
The lesson for the day was "Springtime."
"Spring is a beautiful season. The sun shines brightly. Flowers grow in the garden. Birds fly in the sky and sing songs..."
The children's voices rose in a soft, musical chorus.
Miranda had been teaching here just over two months. With her modest salary, she had scraped together 2,000 dollars—just enough to deliver at the local clinic.
She'd earned it by teaching eight classes a day.
The swollen legs and heavy belly never seemed to slow her down.
All she cared about was keeping her baby safe when the time came.
Now with enough money saved, she could breathe a little easier.
She planned to buy a can of formula to strengthen herself and the baby after class.
But halfway through the lesson, the classroom door burst open. Men in black rushed inside.
The children gasped, and Miranda froze.
"Hey, who are you?" she snapped. "This is a classroom. Get out."
