The last thing I remembered was the coppery taste of my own blood. Mark, the man I loved more than life itself, smiled cruelly as I bled out on the floor of the company he' d stolen from my family. My family, ruined. Our name, dragged through the mud. And me, dead at twenty-four, all because I chose the wrong man. He just whispered, his voice a venomous hiss, "You should have just stayed a stupid, useful tool, Chloe. Did you really think I could love someone like you?" I, Chloe Sterling, heir to a business empire with an almost supernatural gift for market trends, had given him everything. I saved him from ruin, sacrificing my own company to build his, only to have him systematically dismantle mine. His final betrayal? Announcing his engagement to my best friend, Sarah, the same one who' d fed him my strategies and framed my father for embezzlement. My father subsequently suffered a fatal heart attack. Then, Mark killed me. I never understood how I could have been so blind, so utterly foolish, to let him destroy everything. But then, a blinding white light. I gasped, finding myself in my old bedroom, two years younger, with my phone buzzing. It was the day I first saved Mark. This time, I wouldn't be his savior. I would be his spectator. And then, his judge.

Introduction

The last thing I remembered was the coppery taste of my own blood.

Mark, the man I loved more than life itself, smiled cruelly as I bled out on the floor of the company he' d stolen from my family.

My family, ruined. Our name, dragged through the mud. And me, dead at twenty-four, all because I chose the wrong man.

He just whispered, his voice a venomous hiss, "You should have just stayed a stupid, useful tool, Chloe. Did you really think I could love someone like you?"

I, Chloe Sterling, heir to a business empire with an almost supernatural gift for market trends, had given him everything.

I saved him from ruin, sacrificing my own company to build his, only to have him systematically dismantle mine.

His final betrayal? Announcing his engagement to my best friend, Sarah, the same one who' d fed him my strategies and framed my father for embezzlement.

My father subsequently suffered a fatal heart attack. Then, Mark killed me.

I never understood how I could have been so blind, so utterly foolish, to let him destroy everything.

But then, a blinding white light. I gasped, finding myself in my old bedroom, two years younger, with my phone buzzing.

It was the day I first saved Mark.

This time, I wouldn't be his savior. I would be his spectator.

And then, his judge.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
