Twice Dead, Once Vengeful

Abstract

"I've always loved you, Olivia," Ethan whispered as I tumbled down the marble staircase, my best friend Mia clutching his arm with a satisfied smile. Then darkness. Then… awakening, five years earlier. Armed with future knowledge, I rebuild my event planning empire while carefully orchestrating my betrayers' downfall. They believe I'm the same trusting woman they'll eventually destroy. Meanwhile, hotel magnate James Blackwood sees through my façade: "You move like someone who already knows how the story ends." As I accept Ethan's proposal again, Mia's friendship again, I set my perfect trap. The Hayes Foundation gala approaches—the exact anniversary of my death in another lifetime. Some people you should never give a second chance to kill you.
