After sacrificing everything for her sister, Elena is betrayed by her family, abandoned by her husband, and sentenced to death for Sarah’s crime. But fate gives her a second chance.
Reborn on the eve of the SATs, Elena remembers every betrayal; and this time, she refuses to surrender. She’ll take Sarah’s dream school, perfect future, and beloved man. Revenge has only just begun.
The math teacher wanted to say something to Elena, but Evelyn spotted her immediately and snapped, “It’s you! You’re her sister-how could you fail to protect her?!” She lunged forward and grabbed Elena’s arm. “Ma’am!” the homeroom teacher stood up, her face going pale. This wasn’t the first time Evelyn had raised her hand to…
Sarah had used and exploited her repeatedly-then always shifted the blame back on her. In just two or three days, Sarah’s dark secrets had spread across campus. … Outside the classroom. Knock knock. The class turned toward the door. When they saw Zayden standing there, Henry stood up at once. “You need something?” He stepped…
Her tone was polite-but also distant and cold. Zayden’s heart twinged for a reason he couldn’t explain. So Elena could look at him like that now. So cold. So dismissive. He had always assumed she would come running back with one word from him. She used to. But now? How could someone change so much…
Grace was surprised by the visit but opened the door nonetheless. Just then, Zayden came down from the second floor, dressed in a black fleece housecoat. When he saw Elena, his brows furrowed. “What are you doing here?” They had just fought earlier that day. He couldn’t think of a single reason for her to…
“Enough with the small talk. Spill the rest-what happened at the hotel?” “Yeah, don’t leave us hanging!” Henry spread his hands. “How would I know what they did inside? All I heard was they left together this morning.” The story spread like wildfire. By midday, the entire sophomore year was buzzing. “Did you hear? Zayden…
“Elena, actually…” “We’re already over, right? So one last hug shouldn’t be a big deal.” She opened her arms with a faint smile. Zayden didn’t refuse. He leaned forward and hugged her. From outside the attic, Sarah-fresh from the bathroom-froze in her tracks the moment she spotted them. Her expression darkened instantly. “Zayden!” Startled by…
She blinked. Nolan. He was slumped against her, his breathing heavy. “What happened to you? Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol?” It was then that she noticed-he wasn’t wearing his usual school uniform, but a dark suit. And beneath the sharp scent of liquor, there was something far worse: blood. “You’re hurt?” She…
“That’s the only reason you stayed conscious, huh?” “It’s just a scratch. I’ll stitch it myself.” “You’re not stitching anything,” she said flatly. “I’ll do it.” It wasn’t ideal-but she could manage. “Same as sewing fabric, right?” she muttered. Nolan said nothing. Within minutes, a robot delivered everything she’d ordered-disinfectants, coagulants, painkillers, even sterile surgical…
“Sarah, Nolan took Elena away! No one even knows where they are right now!” Sarah froze at his words. Elena and Nolan are together? Did Elena give up on Zayden because she latched onto Nolan? “Watch your mouth!” Henry exploded, jabbing a finger in Zayden’s face. “What do you mean ‘took her away’?” Sarah quickly…
“I’m not sick. Just have something I need to take care of.” Zayden stepped away from Sarah and headed back to the classroom while grabbing his bag in a hurry. “Zayden!” Sarah called after him. But he didn’t turn around. Sarah’s expression darkened. Could it be… he’s going after Elena again? “Sarah, why did Zayden…
