It was our tenth wedding anniversary, but the celebration was interrupted by a jarring Instagram post. My husband Julian' s mistress, Brooke, shared a photo of them kissing in his high-rise office, captioned, "Closing the biggest deal of our lives. Some partnerships are just meant to be. 😉" He brought her home later, forcing me to host her and then locking me in a dark pantry when I refused to cook their "special meal." For four years, Julian had relentlessly tormented me and our daughter, Sophie, based on a cruel lie Brooke fed him. He made me book their romantic getaways, ridiculed Sophie' s finger paintings as "low-class," and destroyed my art, calling me worthless. The cruelty peaked when Brooke deliberately injured Sophie, leaving her unconscious, and Julian refused medical help until I completed an unimaginable task. He forced me into the garage, a place steeped in the trauma of my father' s death by fire, and ordered me to strip a vintage car using the very tools that had killed him. Every roar of the sander, every chemical fume, plunged me back into the horrifying night my father died, but Sophie' s bleeding face was my only anchor. I became a machine, powered by a mother' s desperate will, enduring torture to save my child from a man who now embodied pure hatred. Julian finally broke when our seven-year-old Sophie, waking in the hospital, dropped his expensive doll into the trash and calmly told him, "My mommy said my real daddy is gone." That same night, a drunken Julian confessed the elaborate lie Brooke had spun, thinking I' d cheated, unraveling his entire world. But he couldn't see that David, his assistant, had helped me secure his signature on airtight divorce papers days ago. Sophie and I finally walked away, leaving him kneeling defeated in his hollow mansion, driving West towards a new, truly free life under the vast Texas sky.

For sixteen years, I was a phantom in the Miller house, my entire existence centered on raising Caleb. My destiny was sealed: on his 21st birthday, I was to become his wife, a debt my family couldn't pay. In my first agonizing life, that wedding day led to a decade of imprisonment in their dark basement, then a horrific sale to the depraved Scrap Yard Joe, who brutally murdered me and my two young daughters. But then, a miracle: I jolted awake, it was Caleb' s 21st birthday party again. I was back. This time, I vowed to escape, coldly telling Caleb the "deal was off." His fury, fueled by his new girlfriend Chloe, erupted. They dragged me to their root cellar, where Chloe actively tried to crush me with cinder blocks. Escaping a terrifying encounter with Scrap Yard Joe, Chloe's eerie accomplice from my past, I returned to the party only to be publicly framed. A panicked confrontation led to the tragic, accidental death of Caleb' s mother-a death later revealed to be orchestrated by Chloe' s slow poison. I was beaten, battered, and finally, locked in the basement again as Chloe set it on fire, intending to burn me alive. Lying amidst the flames, every fiber of my being screamed. Why had my attempt at freedom only resulted in such a brutal, fiery trap? Was this wretched family, and the ghosts of my past, truly inescapable? Yet, fate had a cruel twist. I miraculously survived, forcing Caleb to believe me dead, consumed by guilt. He began a meticulous, horrifying revenge on Chloe, mirroring the torment I endured. Then, in the climax of his depravity, just as he raised a hunting knife over Chloe' s pregnant belly, a scarred, living ghost walked into the room: Me. And his world shattered.

My alarm buzzed, a cheerful tune that mocked the dread in my stomach. Today was the day: our family road trip to Vegas. Last time, it was the day I died. I remembered the screech of tires, shrill against hot asphalt. The sickening crunch of metal, the world swirling upside down. Then, the suffocating smell of gasoline, my own blood. Frank – my father – had orchestrated it all. He'd meticulously sabotaged our car, intent on murdering my mother and me for our organs. His mistress, Jessica, had a dying son, Leo, and we were merely unwilling donors for their twisted scheme. I gasped, shooting bolt upright in my cramped suburban bedroom. The morning sun streamed through the cheap floral wallpaper, a cruel contrast to the grim reality that had just resurfaced. The gruesome memory of my death, brutally betrayed by my own flesh and blood, washed over me like a tidal wave of ice and raw panic. My blood ran cold. This wasn't a nightmare; it was today. The same day he planned to carve me up for parts. How could a father, the sworn protector, conceive such a monstrous act for another woman' s child? The sheer injustice, the chilling horror of it, was unbearable, turning my stomach. But then, the nausea receded, replaced by something cold, hard, and sharp: pure, unyielding rage. I wasn't that naive 19-year-old anymore. I was a ghost with a score to settle. This time, there would be no crash. No organs harvested. This time, they would be the ones to feel pain.
