How Death Became My Rebirth

Chapter 2
When Cas sandra regained consciousness again, she found herself in a cramped.
storeroom.
This was the room Yulissa had prepared for her when Cas sandra returned to the Yates. family, claiming it was the only vacant
space for the time being.
However, this storeroom was even smaller than Yulissa’s wardrobe.
Yulissa, then laden with remorse, expressed, “I know you are a biological child of this family. I’ve never truly belonged to the
Yates family. However, I have lived here for 18 years, and putting away all the things I own here is no easy task. So, for now, I’ll
need you to bear with this humble room until I find a better place.”
Upon hearing Yulissa’s words, Yulissa’s brothers objected, sarcastically accusing Cas sandra of being melodramatic for wanting
a bigger space. They claimed that the latter was merely seeking attention and attempting to replace their beloved sister in the
family dynamic.
Despite feeling unfairly judged at that moment, Cas sandra attempted to appease her siblings, saying, “Please don’t be upset. I’ll
make do with this space.”
Cas sandra grappled with an unsettling feeling amid the stark reality of her surroundings.
She recalled her death by Yulissa’s blade. The question of why she awoke in this confined space haunted her.
If not for the vivid pain preceding her death, she might have dismissed it all as a dream.
Ca s sandra wondered if fate had taken pity on her helpless and lonely past life by offering her a second chance through a
rebirth.
If that were the case, she would have to diverge from the course of fate set for her in her past life!
‘Cas sandra, remember how you were a person of pride before returning to the Yates. family? Yet, in the two months since your
return, you were disregarded and considered a disgrace in the family. Don’t you feel sorry for yourself? The Yates family isn’t
worth sacrificing everything for. In these two months, you’ve been treated like an animal. They boss you around and enjoy the
benefits of your hard work while giving you only harsh words in return. What’s worst, they manipulated you into believing that
Yulissa was the sole heiress of the Yates family and that you would only be given a decent life when Yulissa’s desires are
fulfilled, thought Cas sandra.
After a brief pause, she still continued to weigh up the situation. ‘Dear, dear Cas sandra.

You spent two years pleasing them in the previous life, but all you got was their curses and punishments. Is that truly what you

want? Now that you’re reborn, you have to put an end to all this tragedy. Do not let history repeat itself, mused Cas sandra
solemnly.
Knock!
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a series of knocks on the door.
“Cas sandra, are you deaf? Lisa wants you. Who do you think you are to turn a deaf ear to her words?” scolded Raymond, he
sixth brother.
Raymond was particularly known for his impatience and his temper.
The 20-year-old young man was close in age to Yulissa, which explained why they were particularly close to each other.
After composing herself, Cas sandra opened the door.
“Oh, really? When did Lisa ask for me?” Cas sandra retorted with a touch of sarcasm.
Yulissa, standing nearby, appeared to be on the verge of tears.
“Cas sandra, I called you three times, but you ignored me.” As Yulissa spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Did you, now? This storeroom is poorly insulated, yet I did not hear anyone calling for me. Were you just whispering my name?
If that’s the case, it’s not my fault I couldn’t hear you,” retorted Cas sandra.
“Cas s andra, what are you talking about? Lisa invites you, and instead of being grateful, you throw a tantrum. Do you think I
won’t rough you up?” When Raymond saw how distressed Yulissa looked, he unfairly pushed the blame on Cas sandra.
Raymond thought that this was all Cas sandra’s fault. If not for her, Yulissa would not have suffered from such humiliation. He
was unable to fathom why, after eighteen years, Cas sandra had not met her end outside. Why would she return?
“Was there a time when you held back from hitting me?” Cas sandra set aside any attempt to spare Raymond’s feelings.
After all, she had resolved to leave.
“You...”
“Ray, please don’t be upset. Cas sandra didn’t mean any harm. I’m the one who has been basking in your affection all this while,
and Cas sandra has every right to resent me. I’m sorry, Cas sandra.” Yulissa truly resembled a princess in her white ballroom.
gown and exquisite makeup.

Right now, her eyes reddened as she appeared to be quite distressed.

“What’s going on with Cas sandra today? How dare she talk back to me? Does she really think tonight’s welcome party is meant
for her?’ Yulissa scoffed inwardly.
Cas sandra said nothing, choosing instead to watch Yulissa feign innocence.

“Lisa, don’t cry. You’re a cherished member of this family, so of course, we care about you. Good girl, don’t cry. Raymond
tenderly consoled Yulissa, reserving his love exclusively for his family except for Cas sandra.
“Hmph, Cas sandra, for the sake of Yulissa, I’ll let you off the h ook today. Listen, you better listen to whatever Mom and Dad say
at the party tonight. Don’t cause any trouble, or I won’t go easy on you!”
Raymond’s warning held little weight with the current Cas sandra.
‘A party? I almost forgot it though, Cas sandra thought.
While the Yates
birthday celeb, claimed it was a welcome party, it was, in truth, Yulissa’s
It was also at this party that Benjamin and Miranda proclaimed Yulissa as their true heiress, relegating Cas sandra from being
the rightful successor to an adopted child.
The party brought the Yates family great reputation in high society for being generous philanthropists like Mother Theresa, and
they enjoyed all the admiration they got from their guests. As for Cas sandra, she played the part of the stray who was adopted
by the Yates family.
Now that Cas sandra had returned to the day when the welcome party was held, it would have been a shame if she did not
cause a scene before leaving.
In the banquet hall that evening, the guests were exchanging toasts and greetings as they were seated.
As the moment arrived, Benjamin and Miranda walked Yulissa onto the stage arm in arm. Her six elder brothers followed closely
behind, assuming the role of her cavaliers.
In stark contrast, Cas sandra was totally ignored by them and only stood among the guests, dressed in a T-shirt and faded jeans.
The affluent young ladies in the circle could not resist mocking her, wondering how someone of her ilk managed to secure an
invitation to the party.
Everyone wondered where this beggar-like poor girl came from.
“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to my daughter Yulissa’s 18th birthday

celebration... Benjamin, beaming with pride, spoke effusively about Yulissa, showering her with every compliment he could think
of.
Yulissa blushed and modestly replied, “You’re exaggerating, Dad. I’m nowhere near that. great.”
“We are all extremely proud of you,” Miranda added affectionately.
Amid the showering of praises on Yulissa, Cas sandra felt a sense of bitter irony.
They had lost her while she was a little girl, and instead of looking for her, they adopted a girl of a similar age, brought her into
the family, and seemingly forgot about their own biological daughter.

Even now, when Cas sandra returned home, the Yates family held no joy but disdain in her after their long period of separation.
“Well, you see, Lisa is our kid. To give her some company, my wife and I decided to adopt a kid from the orphanage, just a few
days older than Lisa. As such, both girls are our daughters.” As Benjamin spoke, there was a hint of disapproval in his voice.
When Miranda saw Cas sandra in a T-shirt and jeans, her expression darkened.
“How unsophisticated! On such an important occasion, how could she dress so casually??’ wondered Miranda.
While suppressing her anger, Miranda commanded, “Cas sandra, come over here.”
‘What a disgrace!’ she scoffed inwardly.
However, they couldn’t go back on their words.
Cas sandra walked onto the stage without haste. To their surprise, her eyes reflected no gratitude, yet sarcasm was written all
over her face.
“So, you’re telling me I’m adopted? Didn’t you both, as well as Leo, hand me a DNA test report confirming my biological ties to
the Yates family? Was that a lie?” Cas sandra asked.
The guests in the hall erupted into whispers.
