My Charleston life was straight out of a storybook: a loving family, a handsome fiancé, Chad, and a generous engagement gift – a historic mansion in the heart of the city. But then came the nightmare. One dizzying moment at my engagement party, surrounded by opulence, and the next I was trapped. Trapped inside my fluffy white Bichon, Angel, my world became a terrifying cacophony of barks and urine. Through the bars of a filthy cage, I saw my step-brother Billy Ray smirk, abandoning me-Sarah Jenkins, the wealthy heiress-to a notorious high-kill animal shelter. I knew Daisy-Mae, his conniving wife, was now standing triumphant and relieved in *my* gorgeous Charleston home, inhabiting *my* body, embracing *my* privileged life. The betrayal was absolute, the cruelty unimaginable, turning my gilded existence into a nightmare worse than death. How could this dark magic be real? How could my own family turn so viciously against me? Miraculously, I jolted awake, back in my own bed, days before the horrific swap was truly meant to happen. My first move: feigning a sudden, violent dander allergy to banish poor Angel-and Daisy-Mae's trapped soul-from my rooms. This time, I'm not just fighting back; I'm turning their dark schemes against them, inch by agonizing inch.

Introduction

My Charleston life was straight out of a storybook: a loving family, a handsome fiancé, Chad, and a generous engagement gift – a historic mansion in the heart of the city.

But then came the nightmare.

One dizzying moment at my engagement party, surrounded by opulence, and the next I was trapped.

Trapped inside my fluffy white Bichon, Angel, my world became a terrifying cacophony of barks and urine.

Through the bars of a filthy cage, I saw my step-brother Billy Ray smirk, abandoning me-Sarah Jenkins, the wealthy heiress-to a notorious high-kill animal shelter.

I knew Daisy-Mae, his conniving wife, was now standing triumphant and relieved in *my* gorgeous Charleston home, inhabiting *my* body, embracing *my* privileged life.

The betrayal was absolute, the cruelty unimaginable, turning my gilded existence into a nightmare worse than death.

How could this dark magic be real?

How could my own family turn so viciously against me?

Miraculously, I jolted awake, back in my own bed, days before the horrific swap was truly meant to happen.

My first move: feigning a sudden, violent dander allergy to banish poor Angel-and Daisy-Mae's trapped soul-from my rooms.

This time, I'm not just fighting back; I'm turning their dark schemes against them, inch by agonizing inch.

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.

The blinding pain of childbirth ripped through Sarah, but it was the empty chair beside her hospital bed that truly shattered her. Mark should have been there, holding her hand, but his phone was off, just as it had been for hours. Another contraction hit, and alone, sweat-soaked, Sarah delivered her first twin, then geared up to do it all again, frantically trying to reach a husband who had vanished. As she cradled her newborn, a news report flashed on the TV: a sun-drenched beach, turquoise water, and there, laughing, hand-in-hand, were Mark and her best friend Emily, on a "romantic getaway" in Bali. Just then, a cheerful caller informed her the postpartum nanny package she'd paid for had been canceled by her husband. Her blood ran cold. He hadn't just abandoned her; he'd taken everything. A quick check of her banking app confirmed the horror: over eighty thousand dollars, her life savings for the twins, gone. He'd drained it all to fund his sordid escape. The line went dead after her mother-in-law, dismissive and callous, blamed Sarah for not "giving Mark a boy" and for being "careless with her money." The betrayal was absolute, a crushing blow from everyone she thought she could trust. How could she be so blind? How could they betray her so completely, so cruelly? The isolation crashed down, leaving her utterly alone, reeling from a decade-long lie that had just imploded. Just when she thought she might drown in her grief, a cold, sharp voice cut through the haze, forcing her to confront an unexpected intervention and perhaps, a chance to reclaim more than just her babies.
