Five times I died. Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed. The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty. He knew. All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew. "I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act." His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through. My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later. Always an accident. I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end. Just survive. Stop dying. Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend. As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..." A dying hallucination? Or was it Liam? I chose him. I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle. But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for. He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated. My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered. Was I destined to another death, or could I finally escape this cursed program, and the frustrating game he seems to play?

Introduction

Five times I died.

Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed.

The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty.

He knew.

All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew.

"I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act."

His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through.

My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later.

Always an accident.

I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end.

Just survive.

Stop dying.

Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend.

As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..."

A dying hallucination?

Or was it Liam?

I chose him.

I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle.

But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for.

He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated.

My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered.

Was I destined to another death, or could I finally escape this cursed program, and the frustrating game he seems to play?

My husband, David Chen, the CEO of "InnovateX," called for a celebration on our fifth anniversary. He announced, with a theatrical wink, that the two representatives for the Global Tech Summit in Hawaii would be chosen by a game. He drew his own name first, then reached into the glass bowl, his hand going straight for a specific spot, and pulled out a precisely folded slip: his much-younger assistant, Emily White. A wave of whispers and knowing glances went through the office. Emily, wearing the new perfume I' d noticed in our bathroom, practically ran to him, her red nails lingering on his arm after an embrace that lasted far too long. I stood frozen, the silent partner, the co-founder, the wife whose marriage was a secret to protect his "young, bachelor CEO" image-an image he was now building with Emily. The next morning, Emily sabotaged a crucial presentation I' d spent two months perfecting. David, instead of holding her accountable, punished me. He canceled my trip and ordered me to fix "my department's mistake" over the weekend, all while comforting Emily and giving her credit for my work in front of the entire company. The humiliation was a physical weight, pressing down on my chest. Later, I found an elegant Vera Wang box on our bed, a dress I' d dreamed of. My heart leaped, hoping for an apology, a real celebration of our secret marriage. But David nonchalantly explained it was for a client, "to seal a deal." Hours later, I found his phone, a notification for "E's final dress fitting tomorrow" on the screen. The wallpaper was Emily, in my wedding dress, with his chilling caption: "My future Mrs. Chen." The glass shattered in my hand. My entire world shattered with it. The silence in our once-shared home was deafening, the truth a cold, hard slap. This wasn't about business; it was about betrayal, about a life I poured my soul into, stolen and given to someone else. I was ready to vanish, a ghost in my own life. But the rage that simmered beneath my quiet compliance ignited a spark. Now, I wanted something more than to disappear. I wanted justice and I wanted everything back.
