My adopted daughters, Ashley and Emily, were supposed to be our pride and joy. We had given them everything, a loving home, a future. But then, the memory hit me like a physical blow: the boot flying towards my face, the crushing weight on my chest, the screams, the smell of gasoline and fire. I jolted awake, gasping, only to see Mark breathing softly beside me, the digital clock glowing 3:17 AM. My heart hammered. It wasn't a dream. I remembered the whispers turning to shouts: "Child abusers! He got them pregnant!" Mark' s medical report, proving his infertility, clutched in my hand, was ignored, torn from my grasp. The first rock hit my temple. The mob dragged me from our porch, overwhelming Mark as he tried to shield me. They killed me right there on our lawn. And Ashley and Emily, our 'sweet' daughters, stood by, their bellies just beginning to show. How could these girls, whom we loved, accuse us of such a monstrous crime? Why did the world believe their tear-stained lies over undeniable medical proof? The horror lingered, a burning question in my soul. But this time, a cold certainty settled in my gut. I was back. Alive. I had one chance. This time, I wouldn't die. They wouldn't win.

Introduction

My adopted daughters, Ashley and Emily, were supposed to be our pride and joy.

We had given them everything, a loving home, a future.

But then, the memory hit me like a physical blow: the boot flying towards my face, the crushing weight on my chest, the screams, the smell of gasoline and fire.

I jolted awake, gasping, only to see Mark breathing softly beside me, the digital clock glowing 3:17 AM.

My heart hammered.

It wasn't a dream.

I remembered the whispers turning to shouts: "Child abusers!

He got them pregnant!"

Mark' s medical report, proving his infertility, clutched in my hand, was ignored, torn from my grasp.

The first rock hit my temple.

The mob dragged me from our porch, overwhelming Mark as he tried to shield me.

They killed me right there on our lawn.

And Ashley and Emily, our 'sweet' daughters, stood by, their bellies just beginning to show.

How could these girls, whom we loved, accuse us of such a monstrous crime?

Why did the world believe their tear-stained lies over undeniable medical proof?

The horror lingered, a burning question in my soul.

But this time, a cold certainty settled in my gut.

I was back.

Alive.

I had one chance.

This time, I wouldn't die.

They wouldn't win.

The applause was deafening, but a cold sweat trickled down my back. One moment, I was falling, the city skyline spinning. The next, I was here, at the TechFusion conference, the air thick with the smell of electronics and ambition. I looked down at my hands, steady, and took a deep breath. This was real. A second chance, pulled back from the brink of a self-inflicted end. But as I scanned the room, the past crashed into me. This was the day it all went wrong before. The host nervously announced, "It seems our next speaker, the one and only Brittany Hayes, is running a little behind schedule." Then, my phone vibrated. It was Brittany. "OMG Sarah, traffic is a nightmare! I'm gonna be late. Can you go up there and stall for me? Just say some smart marketing stuff. You're good at that. Pls pls pls save me! 🙏" Word for word, the exact same manipulative plea that had led to my public humiliation and downfall. In my past life, I' d been naive enough to agree, only for her to frame me as a desperate attention-seeker who tried to steal her spotlight. It had shattered my career, my reputation, my spirit. It started a chain of events that led to my ultimate destruction. I had lost everything. My company threw me under the bus, the industry blacklisted me, and the online mob issued death threats. I stood on my apartment balcony, the city lights blurred by tears, and I let go. The memory of my own death brought a chilling resolve. Brittany Hayes had taken everything from me. This time, the past wouldn' t repeat. This time, I knew the script. This wasn't just a second chance at life; it was a second chance at justice.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
