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 world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
