My father, a respected ethics professor, looked peaceful in the mortuary. But then, a chilling detail: a fresh, surgical scar beneath his collar. They said car accident, but his heart was gone. The truth shattered me: his heart, transplanted. To my best friend, Chloe, who was pregnant. And the consent signed by Ethan, my fiancé. When I confronted him, Ethan just shrugged, called it "practical." He even suggested my father's death was a "fortunate coincidence," and I should just get over it. He had the audacity to propose I become the baby's nanny. Then he locked me in a dark room, calling me "hysterical." My father' s heart, stolen and beating in my best friend' s chest. Carrying my fiancé' s child, conceived in betrayal. The cold I felt in the mortuary was nothing compared to the ice forming around my own heart. Did they really think I would accept this, quietly become their hired help? They had awakened something buried deep. My "normal" life was over. I escaped, found a burner phone, and dialed a number I swore I' d never call again. "Marc," I whispered, "I need your help." My past was about to become their nightmare.

Introduction

My father, a respected ethics professor, looked peaceful in the mortuary.

But then, a chilling detail: a fresh, surgical scar beneath his collar.

They said car accident, but his heart was gone.

The truth shattered me: his heart, transplanted.

To my best friend, Chloe, who was pregnant.

And the consent signed by Ethan, my fiancé.

When I confronted him, Ethan just shrugged, called it "practical."

He even suggested my father's death was a "fortunate coincidence," and I should just get over it.

He had the audacity to propose I become the baby's nanny.

Then he locked me in a dark room, calling me "hysterical."

My father' s heart, stolen and beating in my best friend' s chest.

Carrying my fiancé' s child, conceived in betrayal.

The cold I felt in the mortuary was nothing compared to the ice forming around my own heart.

Did they really think I would accept this, quietly become their hired help?

They had awakened something buried deep.

My "normal" life was over.

I escaped, found a burner phone, and dialed a number I swore I' d never call again.

"Marc," I whispered, "I need your help."

My past was about to become their nightmare.

I had my life meticulously planned: top grades, intense training, a clear path to the U.S. Service Academy. My future was a beacon, a reward for years of unwavering dedication. But then came the devastating twist: Mark, my childhood best friend, and his conniving girlfriend, Tiffany, decided my ambition was a threat to their own twisted narrative. They systematically sabotaged my critical fitness test and derailed my SATs, watching my dreams shatter with chilling indifference. My carefully constructed world collapsed in an instant. I was plunged into years of soul-crushing dead-end jobs, a life of grinding poverty, and the bitter taste of shattered potential. The final, brutal act of their cruelty came during a chance reunion: cold fury from Tiffany, an almost apologetic glance from Mark, then the hired thugs, the balcony, and the irreversible fall. I lay dying, haunted by the crushing weight of their malice. How could the people I once trusted engineer such a complete and utter destruction of a life? The raw injustice burned hotter than any pain, leaving me with a desperate, unanswered question: Why them, why me? But instead of oblivion, I was hurled back. The familiar scent of lavender, the drone of a lawnmower, the calendar screaming August 10th. Three months before my future was stolen. Seventeen again, with the searing clarity of what was to come. And then I saw them. Mark' s cold, assessing eyes told me he knew. This wasn't a do-over; it was war.
