I was Emily Hawthorne, heir to a legendary family cryptology business, destined to marry Ethan Kent, the charismatic golden boy of East Coast finance. We were the power couple, set to merge empires. I loved him with every fiber, sharing my family's deepest secrets, fiercely protecting his public image, and even giving him two beautiful children. But once he had everything – power, prestige, my family's intellectual fortune – he revealed his true, monstrous self. He orchestrated the brutal slaughter of my entire family, without mercy. Not even our own son and daughter were spared. His chilling justification echoed in my mind, "It was you, Emily. You and your damn family. You're the reason I couldn't save Clara from her troubles sooner. This is all on you." He blamed me for *his* forbidden love for a socialite. I felt the phantom bullet, the searing flames, as my world ended. How could the man I adored, the father of my children, repay my unwavering loyalty with such unthinkable, cold-blooded annihilation? The betrayal was absolute, the injustice a burning inferno. My family gone. My children gone. All for his ruthless ambition. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back in my bedroom, on the very morning of our engagement announcement. A second chance. This time, I knew every rule of his twisted game, and I would make him pay for every single tear, every drop of blood.

Introduction

I was Emily Hawthorne, heir to a legendary family cryptology business, destined to marry Ethan Kent, the charismatic golden boy of East Coast finance.

We were the power couple, set to merge empires.

I loved him with every fiber, sharing my family's deepest secrets, fiercely protecting his public image, and even giving him two beautiful children.

But once he had everything – power, prestige, my family's intellectual fortune – he revealed his true, monstrous self.

He orchestrated the brutal slaughter of my entire family, without mercy.

Not even our own son and daughter were spared.

His chilling justification echoed in my mind, "It was you, Emily. You and your damn family. You're the reason I couldn't save Clara from her troubles sooner. This is all on you."

He blamed me for *his* forbidden love for a socialite.

I felt the phantom bullet, the searing flames, as my world ended.

How could the man I adored, the father of my children, repay my unwavering loyalty with such unthinkable, cold-blooded annihilation?

The betrayal was absolute, the injustice a burning inferno.

My family gone.

My children gone.

All for his ruthless ambition.

Then, I opened my eyes.

I was back in my bedroom, on the very morning of our engagement announcement.

A second chance.

This time, I knew every rule of his twisted game, and I would make him pay for every single tear, every drop of blood.

The organ music swelled, painting my white wedding dress in shades of blood red. I was marrying Julian Thorne, a man who despised me, believing the lies that had ruined my reputation. This wasn't a marriage; it was a sentence, orchestrated perfectly by my stepsister, Sophia, who had always wanted Julian for herself. Everyone saw Eleanor Vance, the brilliant architect, as the luckiest woman alive, but my heart was a cold stone. As the word "I do" escaped my lips-a whispered surrender-a blinding white light engulfed me. I woke up in my old bedroom, the floral wallpaper still on the walls. My phone read October 12, 2014-ten years ago, the day of my first wedding, the one that never happened. Relief surged through me; I wasn't Julian Thorne's wife. But then dread set in as Sophia's text buzzed on my smaller, older phone: "Julian's family is coming for dinner tonight, you have to make a good impression!" It was all starting tonight, the very dinner where Sophia would introduce me to the Thornes, setting off the chain of events that would lead to my forced marriage. The contempt in Julian's eyes was already there, seeing me as a social climber, exactly the image Sophia had carefully crafted. I was trapped again, a ghost in my own life, burdened by a future I knew was coming: the Thorne family's imminent financial ruin, and my own career sacrificed to support them. But this time, I wasn't the naive girl to be manipulated. I knew all their secrets, and I would not spend another ten years as Eleanor Thorne. I would fight.
