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.
