Five times I died. Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed. The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty. He knew. All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew. "I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act." His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through. My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later. Always an accident. I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end. Just survive. Stop dying. Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend. As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..." A dying hallucination? Or was it Liam? I chose him. I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle. But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for. He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated. My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered.

Introduction

Five times I died.

Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed.

The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty.

He knew.

All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew.

"I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act."

His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through.

My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later.

Always an accident.

I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end.

Just survive.

Stop dying.

Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend.

As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..."

A dying hallucination?

Or was it Liam?

I chose him.

I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle.

But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for.

He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated.

My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered.

Was I destined to another death, or could I finally escape this cursed program, and the frustrating game he seems to play?

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

For three years, I kept a secret ledger of my husband's sins. A point system to decide exactly when I would leave Blake Santos, the ruthless Underboss of Chicago. I thought the final straw would be him forgetting our anniversary dinner to comfort his "childhood friend," Ariana. I was wrong. The real breaking point came when the restaurant ceiling collapsed. In that split second, Blake didn't look at me. He dove to his right, shielding Ariana with his body, leaving me to be crushed under a half-ton crystal chandelier. I woke up in a sterile hospital room with a shattered leg and a hollow womb. The doctor, trembling and pale, told me my eight-week-old fetus hadn't survived the trauma and blood loss. "We tried to get the O-negative reserves," he stammered, refusing to meet my eyes. "But Dr. Santos ordered us to hold them. He said Miss Whitfield might go into shock from her injuries." "What injuries?" I whispered. "A laceration on her finger," the doctor admitted. "And anxiety." He let our unborn child die to save the blood reserves for his mistress’s paper cut. Blake finally walked into my room hours later, smelling of Ariana’s perfume, expecting me to be the dutiful, silent wife who understood his "duty." Instead, I picked up my pen and wrote the final entry in my black leather book. *Minus five points. He killed our child.* *Total Score: Zero.* I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just signed the divorce papers, called my extraction team, and vanished into the rain before he could turn around.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
