Five years. Every single day, I' d hunted for her. My fiancée, Ava, vanished without a trace, leaving me a ghost of my former self after my career-ending injury. Then, at my nephew's first birthday party, she reappeared. But seeing her wasn't the reunion I'd dreamed of. She stood beside my older brother, Mark, holding a baby, another child clinging to her leg – their children. The world shattered. My parents, my old teammates – everyone was smiling, and they all knew. They had known for five years. I was the only fool in the dark. Mark clapped me on the shoulder, a smug grin plastered on his face, openly proclaiming he'd found her after an "accident" and they'd "fallen in love while she recovered." Ava looked at me, her eyes cold, devoid of recognition, as if I meant nothing. Later, she' d call me a "victim," reminding me mercilessly of my own past suicide attempt, which she' d been in town for, yet never visited. How could she be so callous? Why had everyone I trusted helped hide this cruel joke, letting me drown in my grief? I watched them, forced to witness their casual intimacy in the ruins of my life, until one day, packing up my old apartment, I stumbled upon a forgotten tablet, and the truth began to unravel.

Introduction

Five years. Every single day, I' d hunted for her. My fiancée, Ava, vanished without a trace, leaving me a ghost of my former self after my career-ending injury.

Then, at my nephew's first birthday party, she reappeared.

But seeing her wasn't the reunion I'd dreamed of. She stood beside my older brother, Mark, holding a baby, another child clinging to her leg – their children.

The world shattered. My parents, my old teammates – everyone was smiling, and they all knew.

They had known for five years. I was the only fool in the dark.

Mark clapped me on the shoulder, a smug grin plastered on his face, openly proclaiming he'd found her after an "accident" and they'd "fallen in love while she recovered."

Ava looked at me, her eyes cold, devoid of recognition, as if I meant nothing. Later, she' d call me a "victim," reminding me mercilessly of my own past suicide attempt, which she' d been in town for, yet never visited.

How could she be so callous? Why had everyone I trusted helped hide this cruel joke, letting me drown in my grief?

I watched them, forced to witness their casual intimacy in the ruins of my life, until one day, packing up my old apartment, I stumbled upon a forgotten tablet, and the truth began to unravel.

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.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
