Here's the translation: "I'm on vacation and I'm planning to find a summer job. Aunt Kyla said that serving plates is too hard, so she introduced me to a job as a stunt double for a short play. I didn't think much and went straight there, but the location turned out to be a hotel. They said they were going to film a scene where the female lead gets choked to death. When I saw that the room was full of men, I got scared and wanted to run away. But they grabbed me by the neck and pinned me down on the bed: 'What are you pretending to be a virtuous woman for? I already gave Aunt Kyla 5,000 yuan for you. You think you can escape?! Dream on!' I struggled desperately, but in the end, they tore my clothes and made me wear strange outfits, and I suffocated to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Aunt Kyla introduced me to the job. Ha, such a good job is better left for your own daughter to do!"

Chapter 1

It was summer break, and I decided to find a summer job. Aunt Kyla said waiting tables was too exhausting and introduced me to a job as a stand-in for a short drama.

Without thinking much, I went straight to the location, which turned out to be a hotel. They said they needed to film a scene where the female lead gets strangled to death.

As soon as I saw the room full of men, I was terrified and tried to flee. But they grabbed me by the neck and pinned me down on the bed.

"Acting all innocent, huh? I already gave your aunt 5000 dollars. Trying to escape? Dream on!"

I struggled with all my might, but they tore my clothes and forced me into some strange outfit. I was suffocated to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Aunt Kyla introduced me to the job.

Ha, such a wonderful job should be for your own daughter!

"Oh wow, once school starts, you'll be a college student! Why bother waiting tables? Web series are so popular now. I know a crew that needs a stand-in actress for web series. They pay 500 a day! Mabel, you're so pretty. I'll arrange for you to join them directly!"

I suddenly took a deep breath, tightly hugging my arms as I glanced down at the clothes I was wearing. I was still in shock when I heard Aunt Kyla's words.

I stared in shock at the smiling woman in front of me, uncontrollably trembling. Quickly, I pulled out my phone from my pocket. Seeing the date, I realized I had been given a second chance at life!

In my previous life, as soon as the vacation started, I had planned to find a summer job to gain some social experience and save up some living expenses. Many of my classmates took summer jobs at coffee shops and restaurants. I had intended to do the same. But within a few days, Aunt Kyla found out and came to my house, insisting that I take a part-time job in a web series instead. It paid 500 a day and didn't require working outside.

I was hesitant at first, but my dad immediately slapped me:

"Don't be so ungrateful. Your aunt is very busy but still takes the time to help you. You should agree right away!"

"Your aunt has made a lot of money from web series over the years. You're lucky that she's willing to help you."

"What's the point of going to that useless college? All you do is waste the family's money. Can you make as much money as those social media influencers?"

"Your aunt went through a lot of trouble to find this opportunity for you. If you don't appreciate it, you'll regret it!"

Seeing this, Aunt Kyla raised her hand to stop my father, frowning:

"Mabel is so beautiful. Don't always hit her. Bruises will ruin her looks."

Then she gently patted my head:

"Why work as a waiter? That's all physical labor. Mabel, you're about to start college. College students should use their smarts to make money. You can continue this web series job even after school starts."

Back then, I didn't realize her true intentions. I remembered how my cousin always talked about wanting to make money.

So, I weakly said, "Aunt Kyla, can I go with my cousin?"

Aunt Kyla's face immediately darkened,

"Your cousin is a troublemaker. Forget it! Her SAT scores were so low that she couldn't get into a good college. I still have to find a way for her! Don't tell her about this, or she'll become even more rebellious!"

My dad, growing impatient with the conversation, said:

"It's settled then. Go and perform well, understand? You're old enough to start helping out the family! 500 a day, 300 goes to the family." With that, he gulped down a glass of wine and went back to his room.

I gritted my teeth and put up with it. Once school started, I would live on campus and find part-time jobs. I just had to survive this summer.

But I didn't make it through that scorching summer.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
