Raindrops hit me one by one, and despite it being summer, the cold felt unbearable. I lay in the mud, covered in blood, as my husband and former best friend dug a hole to bury me. Alice, my best friend, who had always struggled growing up, had been with me since university, where I paid for everything. Now, she and Nill, my husband, had betrayed me. "You took my place," Alice spat, "Now your wealth is ours." Though I was still alive, Alice ordered Nill to bury me deeper. They didn't care if I lived or died. As my consciousness faded and a white light appeared, I vowed that if I survived, I would get revenge.

Chapter 1 Chapter 1

"Naran, Naran, wake up," a voice called from afar, warm and familiar.

"Naran, Naran..." A hand shook my body, calling my name.

I slowly opened my eyes, a bright light piercing through. I squinted, trying to adjust. This... this was my room. Hadn't I died? Was I saved? Was I really alive?

"Get up, it's time for breakfast," I followed the voice and saw... my mother.

"Mom?" I called, disbelief flooding my voice.

"Eat first, then go back to sleep," my mom said, lightly swatting my bottom.

There was no pain, no memory of being buried alive. Hadn't I been injured and left for dead? Why was I here, at home? I sat up suddenly in bed.

Mom looked at me, her hand touching my forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?"

I stared at her, and suddenly, a wave of emotions overwhelmed me. Tears welled up, and I couldn't stop myself from crying. I clung to her warm neck and sobbed, "Mom, I missed you. I had a nightmare... I dreamt I died and was buried in the ground."

Mom gently patted my back, comforting me. "Were you scared? Don't worry, my Naran will live a long life. Today's your birthday, let's make a wish for you to live a hundred years."

My birthday?

"Today is my birthday?" I wiped away my tears and asked, still in disbelief.

"Yes, your 29th birthday, today is May 21st, isn't it your birthday?" Mom looked at me, puzzled.

29? But I was already 31! My in-laws had been pressuring me to have a child, threatening divorce if I didn't. How could it be 29?

"What year is it?" I asked, unable to believe it.

"Are you out of your mind? It's 2022," Mom poked my forehead and said.

So... I had gone back to 2022. I had been reborn.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
