Chapter 2 A Rebirth

"It's about time!" Grace uttered, glancing at her watch. She then gave a look to the two hefty men. "Get rid of her."

"Yes, Miss Wright!" The two men grabbed Maeve by her arms and dragged her towards the seashore.

"Wait a minute!" Grace suddenly called out when they were about to throw Maeve into the sea. She walked over with a malicious smirk. "There's something you must know since you are going to die anyway. That car accident was actually no accident. It's a scheme we orchestrated to get Dominic out of the picture in the long run."

"You bitch! How could you?!" Maeve finally lost it, kicking and struggling to get to Grace. It turned out that Dominic was murdered by them.

They knew that Dominic was so in love with her, so they orchestrated the accident just so he would end up using up the blood in his bank to save her. The plan all along was to make sure he had nothing to survive on.

Splash!

Maeve was thrown into the sea moments after the big reveal.

Cold pierced through her body like sharp icicles. Soon, she felt salty water hit her throat and choke her. Her eyes stung at the same time. Nonetheless, she didn't struggle at all.

In another life, she vowed to be good to Dominic. She was going to repay him for all he did for her in this life.

"Maeve, open your eyes! Are you playing dead again?"

A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Maeve's eyes peeled open slowly. The first thing she saw was a handsome face.

Dominic?!

"Is... Is this a dream?" She shut her eyes hard and opened them again, only to see that the man was still staring at her. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

This face had unparalleled features, especially those beautiful blue eyes... Only one person had these eyes. Was this really Dominic?

Boom!

Maeve's mind went blank. The next second, she realized what was happening!

It appeared that her dying wish had been granted. She was reborn and now back to the night of her wedding to Dominic. What in the world!

"A dream?" Dominic couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw that she was acting dazed. "Are you trying to say that being with me is like a nightmare for you?"

"No, far from it!" Maeve snapped back to reality immediately. When she sensed the masked hurt and anger in his words, she waved weakly and explained, "I just had a nightmare, so when I woke up and saw you, I was quite happy that it was over."

Dominic's brows furrowed as he stared at her coldly. He knew for a fact that she married him only for the sake of her family's gain and for that man's failing career.

"Cut the bullshit! You don't have to try to please me, okay?" Dominic stood up and put on his coat in preparation to go let off steam somewhere else.

Heat was simmering inside him, so he was afraid of flaring up and scaring his new wife even more. Perhaps her fear and hatred for him would quadruple in the blink of an eye.

"Don't go!" Maeve suddenly wrapped her arms around Dominic's waist from behind. She was instantly amazed when her hand brushed his abs.

Regret set in once again. How the hell did she get so blind that she chose that scumbag of a man over someone as perfect as Dominic? Did that jerk use a love potion on her?

The second Dominic felt the warmth and softness of her bosom against his back, his heart trembled. He thought for a second that this might be sincere. However, the next moment, he reasoned that she was just doing this because she was afraid of him taking out his anger on someone else.

"Didn't you hear what I just said? You don't have to please me." Dominic tried to pull her hands apart.

However, she tightened her grip and pressed her bosom against his back even more. He swallowed hard as his heart began to race.

"You're playing with fire! You know that, right?" In a trice, Dominic turned around and stared at her with his eyes filled with desire. His Adam's apple bobbed at the same time.

Maeve raised her head, only to meet his fiery gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and then began to pound against her chest.

She felt his temperature become hotter. The fire in his eyes showed his rising desire. She began to picture what would happen next.

In the past, this look alone would have scared the shit out of her. She would have tried all she could to get away from him. But this time around, she was only filled with anticipation.

Maeve's rosy lips quivered as she uttered in a low voice, "Take me, Dominic. I'm all yours."
