My name is Elena. Or it was. Now, I am just a cold memory clinging to our lake house in the Adirondacks. For three years, I' ve watched the garden turn wild, a monument to my forgotten life. Then, an expensive black SUV crunched up the gravel driveway, instantly recognizable as Liam' s. Liam, my husband, stepped out, a stranger in a tailored suit, here for one twisted reason. He was here to force me to give Chloe, his mistress, a kidney. He strutted around, assuming I had simply run away, hiding out of spite. He didn' t know Chloe had already put me in the ground, just feet from our home. He muttered insults about me, calling me lazy, unfocused, nothing like "Chloe." He stormed the house, yelling for me to end my "stupid game," oblivious to my spectral presence. Even when Marcus, our kind handyman, told him I was dead, Liam laughed it off. He dismissed it as another one of my "dramatic tricks," then kicked over the crude wooden cross marking my unmarked grave. His final threat, shouted at empty air, was against our son, Leo, if I didn't appear. I, a helpless ghost bound by love and rage, could only watch this desecration, unable to scream or stop him. It was then, as the cross splintered, that the blinding memory of my death returned, sharp and clear. Chloe, the woman Liam believed, the one he openly preferred, was the architect of my end. She pushed me from the balcony, watched me fall, then paid two local thugs to finish the job. They dragged my broken body into the woods and buried me alive, right here, next to the house. Now, Liam is here, digging with a shovel, convinced he's exposing a charade. But what he's about to unearth isn' t a trick; it' s the brutal, physical proof of a murder he was too blind to see. And the dark truth of his perfect Chloe.

Introduction

My name is Elena. Or it was.

Now, I am just a cold memory clinging to our lake house in the Adirondacks.

For three years, I' ve watched the garden turn wild, a monument to my forgotten life.

Then, an expensive black SUV crunched up the gravel driveway, instantly recognizable as Liam' s.

Liam, my husband, stepped out, a stranger in a tailored suit, here for one twisted reason.

He was here to force me to give Chloe, his mistress, a kidney.

He strutted around, assuming I had simply run away, hiding out of spite.

He didn' t know Chloe had already put me in the ground, just feet from our home.

He muttered insults about me, calling me lazy, unfocused, nothing like "Chloe."

He stormed the house, yelling for me to end my "stupid game," oblivious to my spectral presence.

Even when Marcus, our kind handyman, told him I was dead, Liam laughed it off.

He dismissed it as another one of my "dramatic tricks," then kicked over the crude wooden cross marking my unmarked grave.

His final threat, shouted at empty air, was against our son, Leo, if I didn't appear.

I, a helpless ghost bound by love and rage, could only watch this desecration, unable to scream or stop him.

It was then, as the cross splintered, that the blinding memory of my death returned, sharp and clear.

Chloe, the woman Liam believed, the one he openly preferred, was the architect of my end.

She pushed me from the balcony, watched me fall, then paid two local thugs to finish the job.

They dragged my broken body into the woods and buried me alive, right here, next to the house.

Now, Liam is here, digging with a shovel, convinced he's exposing a charade.

But what he's about to unearth isn' t a trick; it' s the brutal, physical proof of a murder he was too blind to see.

The searing pain slammed into me, horrifyingly familiar, as I gasped awake in the birthing suite of my sprawling Texas estate. This was it: the day my first child was due, the very day my entire world spiraled into a nightmare in my last life. I remembered every agonizing detail: my mother, Eleanor, abandoning me in labor, leaving for my stepsister Brittany's lavish birthday party, then her monstrous rage, blaming me for Brittany's death. I remembered the poisoned christening, my husband Ethan collapsing, our baby lifeless, then Eleanor dragging me to Brittany's grave, her hands tightening around my throat, murdering me. Now, reborn, I realized the chilling truth: Eleanor was reborn too, and already, her creature, Nurse Gretchen, stood over me, determined to repeat history, actively trying to force my crowning baby back inside me. The pain was unbearable, the betrayal absolute, as I screamed, knowing she meant to murder my child before its first breath, just like before, all for a twisted obsession with her adopted daughter. How could my own mother be so utterly, undeniably evil, to repeat such a heinous act against her own flesh and blood, attempting to erase my family once more? Just as despair threatened to consume me, a familiar, powerful presence erupted into the room: Ethan, my husband, his eyes blazing with a fierce, knowing protectiveness that mirrored my own reborn memories. He remembered too. With him by my side, we would no longer be victims; we would confront the depths of Eleanor's cruelty, unravel her darkest secrets, and wage a battle not just for our baby's life, but for the justice denied in a past life.
