In my senior year of high school, my best friend fell for a rebellious school bully. He took her out of class to party, causing her grades to plummet. To stop her, I went to great lengths and revealed everything to her parents. I managed to pull her back onto the right path. But on the day of the SAT, she handed me a drugged drink. She said, "You ruined my dream of a wealthy life, so I'll ruin your future. We're even now." Having been reborn, I not only want to send them to hell, but I also want to reclaim the glory that belongs to me!

Chapter 1

[1]

During our senior year, my best friend fell in love with the school's notorious bad boy. He led her astray, skipping classes and partying, causing her grades to plummet. Desperate to save her, I did everything I could, even going so far as to tell her parents everything. I managed to pull her back on track.

But on the day of the SAT exam, she handed me a glass of water spiked with drugs. She said, "You ruined my dream of marrying a rich boyfriend, so I'm ruining your future. Now we're even."

"Jennifer, Aydan confessed to me. Do you think I should say yes or no?"

I was stunned hearing these familiar words. It was then that I realized I had a second chance at life, back to this pivotal moment in my life.

Gabriela had been my best friend since childhood. She was beautiful and smart, the popular girl everyone admired. But this seemingly perfect goddess had fallen for the infamous troublemaker, Aydan, during our senior year.

When she came to ask for my opinion, I frowned and pointed out all his flaws for her. He was a well-known playboy and troublemaker, using his family's wealth to smoke, drink, fight, and bully classmates. His bad reputation was infamous even at a young age. I advised her to stay far away from him.

She agreed quickly, but just as swiftly, she got involved with Aydan. She even relayed everything I had said to him, "Aydan, Jennifer said you're no good, but I still want to give you a chance. You better treat me well."

As expected, Aydan's version of treating her well involved dragging Gabriela into smoking, drinking, wild partying, and other vulgar entertainments, ignoring their student status. As her best friend, how could I bear to watch her fall? I kept advising her, and when that didn't work, I had no choice but to inform her parents and teachers.

Her parents locked her at home, cutting off all contact with Aydan. She was hysterical, but within a month, Aydan had found a new girlfriend and even got her pregnant.

I brought this news to Gabriela, and with a face devastated with heartbreak, she finally came to her senses. She no longer resented me for telling on her and returned to being the close friend she had always been, holding my hand tightly.

I thought everything I had done was worth it because I had protected my best friend. But on the day of the SAT, she handed me a spiked bottle of water...

"Jennifer? Jennifer?!" Seeing that I remained silent, Gabriela raised her voice impatiently and waved her hand in front of my face. "I know you don't think much of him, but he does have his good points..."

"When did I ever say I didn't think much of him?" I suppressed my anger and replied coldly, "You two are quite a match."

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.
