The sterile scent of a hospital clung to me, even in my own sun-drenched room. Today was the presentation, the day my life was supposed to begin. Instead, it ended. Memories, sharp and brutal, flooded back: me, confidently presenting my skyscraper design. Then, the fatal error: File Not Found. My mother, Eleanor, fussing over my desk the night before, "accidentally" deleting everything. My father, Richard, dismissing my tears, "Listen to your mother. She knows what's best." My brother, Liam, smirking, "A skyscraper isn' t as important as Mom, is it?" Later that night, Eleanor offered a thick, green smoothie. "A special health smoothie, just for you." I drank it, trusting her. Minutes later, the tightening throat, the hives, the desperate fight for air. Anaphylactic shock. I was severely allergic to kiwi, and the smoothie was full of it. As my vision tunneled, I saw my family. They weren't calling 911. They were comforting Eleanor, who sobbed into my father' s shoulder. Liam shook his head, "She' s always so dramatic." And then, nothing. Until now. Waking up here. I saw the date on my phone. It was Wednesday morning. The day of the presentation. Cold, hard clarity settled over me. They hadn't just sabotaged my dream; they' d tried to kill me to control me. And now, I was back. Back to build a new blueprint. A blueprint for their ruin.

Introduction

The sterile scent of a hospital clung to me, even in my own sun-drenched room.

Today was the presentation, the day my life was supposed to begin.

Instead, it ended.

Memories, sharp and brutal, flooded back: me, confidently presenting my skyscraper design.

Then, the fatal error: File Not Found.

My mother, Eleanor, fussing over my desk the night before, "accidentally" deleting everything.

My father, Richard, dismissing my tears, "Listen to your mother. She knows what's best."

My brother, Liam, smirking, "A skyscraper isn' t as important as Mom, is it?"

Later that night, Eleanor offered a thick, green smoothie.

"A special health smoothie, just for you."

I drank it, trusting her.

Minutes later, the tightening throat, the hives, the desperate fight for air.

Anaphylactic shock.

I was severely allergic to kiwi, and the smoothie was full of it.

As my vision tunneled, I saw my family.

They weren't calling 911.

They were comforting Eleanor, who sobbed into my father' s shoulder.

Liam shook his head, "She' s always so dramatic."

And then, nothing.

Until now.

Waking up here.

I saw the date on my phone.

It was Wednesday morning.

The day of the presentation.

Cold, hard clarity settled over me.

They hadn't just sabotaged my dream; they' d tried to kill me to control me.

And now, I was back.

Back to build a new blueprint.

A blueprint for their ruin.

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.
