“Miranda, you’re always going on about rules and manners. If you’re such a stickler for them, then how did you end up seducing a married man, destroying someone else’s family, and giving birth to Davon, your little bastard!” Kayla sneered.
Kayla hit the word “bastard” extra hard, making sure it landed like a slap. She knew exactly what Miranda’s biggest trigger was–being called the other woman, and having Davon labeled a bastard. That was why Kayla aimed straight for it. Discover more novels at
In her previous life, Kayla had bent over backwards trying to win Miranda over, just to be with Davon. Anytime Miranda had so much as a headache, Kayla was right there with her wallet open and sleeves rolled up, doing everything she could to help.
But Miranda never gave her the time of day. Instead, she went out of her way to make Kayla’s life hell, constantly criticizing her and tearing her down at every turn.
Kayla still remembered Miranda’s words from that day when Marianna had framed her and Davon had walked away.
Miranda said Kayla was so manipulative and cruel that even her own father and brother couldn’t stand her. She said Kayla was so arrogant and awful, she’d basically killed her own mother.
Miranda said Kayla might have been born, but clearly raised without proper guidance. That was why no man could love her, why she’d always end up abandoned and alone.
Every single word stabbed straight through Kayla’s heart, ripping open wounds that had never healed, leaving her drowning in pain.
In her past life, Kayla had turned it over and over in her mind, trying to understand. ‘I’d been nothing but good to Miranda, so why did Miranda treat me so viciously?‘ she wondered.
Miranda wanted her money but looked down on her for being the Sexton family’s daughter. It never made
sense.
But now, living this second life, the truth finally clicked. Miranda only put on that high–and–mighty act because she knew Kayla was head over heels for Davon, too desperate to ever leave him.
‘Miranda thought as long as I loved him, she could treat me however she wanted, Kayla realized. ‘Being his mother meant she’d always have power over me. I’d take whatever abuse she dished out and never say a word back:
It was almost pathetic how Kayla had never figured that out before. All that suffering, all those years of misery -and she’d just let it happen.
Now that Kayla had a second chance, she hadn’t even gone looking for Miranda yet, and here Miranda was, showing up at her door like she owned the place,
Miranda wanted to spend Kayla’s money, use her connections, then walk all over her just to feed her own ego.

Playing victim while acting like a queen. There was no way in hell Kayla was going to play nice with someone like that.
Miranda’s worst nightmare was people talking about how she’d been a mistress and Davon was a bastard. So Kayla decided to give Miranda a taste of her own medicine–every word carefully chosen to stab exactly where it hurt most.
Miranda stumbled backward as Kayla kept coming, until her lower back slammed into a tree branch, pain shooting through her spine.
Miranda’s mind went blank when she heard Kayla’s words, rage and humiliation churning in her chest. Her carefully maintained face twisted with fury, all that expensive skincare useless now.
“You… What did you just say?” Miranda stammered.
Kayla arched an eyebrow, her eyes full of mockery. “What, didn’t catch that? Was it ‘mistress‘ you missed? Or ‘bastard? Or maybe I’m wrong? You’re not the homewrecker who destroyed someone’s marriage p>
Miranda’s eyes went wide. She never expected Kayla, who’d always been so polite, would dare throw this in her face. ‘But how did Kayla even know?‘ she wondered.
“You’re… You’re lying!” Miranda sputtered.
“Lying?” Kayla shot back. She stepped on the dead branches scattered on the ground, the sharp cracking cutting through the air as she backed Miranda against a tree.
