"Don't you dare mess this up, Gabrielle," my mother hissed, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. She' d arranged a "golden ticket" meeting with a wealthy heir, supposedly for my future. But a chilling warning about my best friend Molly, "Don't let Molly anywhere near this. She'll ruin it," echoed eerily. Suddenly, a flood of memories hit me: torn clothes, fake bruises, the heavy impact, the world going dark. I remembered my last life – my mother' s "warning" then, my loyal defense of Molly, and the brutal consequence: my own murder. Molly, my supposed best friend, was my mother' s secret daughter. They orchestrated my death, took everything my father left me, and my mother even married the man who killed me. I was confused, heartbroken, then consumed by a profound sense of betrayal and injustice. How could my own mother conspire in my death, with her lover and their secret child, stealing my entire inheritance? And why couldn't I see it then? But this time, I' m back. I' m in the car, moments before it all begins. And this time, I am not the victim. I am the hunter. The game has changed.

On the night of my career-defining art exhibition, I stood completely alone. My husband, Dante Sovrano, the most feared man in Chicago, had promised he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Instead, he was on the evening news. He was shielding another woman—his ruthless business partner—from a downpour, letting his own thousand-dollar suit get soaked just to protect her. The headline flashed below them, calling their new alliance a "power move" that would reshape the city. The guests at my gallery immediately began to whisper. Their pitying looks turned my greatest triumph into a public spectacle of humiliation. Then his text arrived, a cold, final confirmation of my place in his life: “Something came up. Isabella needed me. You understand. Business.” For four years, I had been his possession. A quiet, artistic wife kept in a gilded cage on the top floor of his skyscraper. I poured all my loneliness and heartbreak onto my canvases, but he never truly saw my art. He never truly saw me. He just saw another one of his assets. My heart didn't break that night. It turned to ice. He hadn't just neglected me; he had erased me. So the next morning, I walked into his office and handed him a stack of gallery contracts. He barely glanced up, annoyed at the interruption to his empire-building. He snatched the pen and signed on the line I’d marked. He didn’t know the page tucked directly underneath was our divorce decree. He had just signed away his wife like she was nothing more than an invoice for art supplies.
