“The last thing I remember from my first life is the roar of flames and the ceiling crushing me in my family' s manor. My fiancée, Nicole, and my supposed long-lost brother, Wesley, watched from outside, their faces twisted not in grief, but in triumph. I died alone, framed, betrayed, and erased from existence. Now, I'm back, reborn into the very moment their insidious plan unfolded. Wesley, the charming newcomer who miraculously appeared after my parents' funeral with a "prophecy" of our housekeeper Maria's death, was setting the stage. Then came the "vision" of an earthquake, threatening to destroy our ancestral home, driving my sisters Jennifer and Gabby into a panicked retreat. In my past life, I believed their lies, fled the house, and it exploded with me inside, solidifying Wesley's prophetic credibility. But this time, I saw it all: Nicole's subtle glances with Wesley, her calculated suggestions leading to Maria's peril, the same conniving smiles they wore as I perished. How could I have been so blind? So trusting of the very people who plotted my agonizing demise, all for the fortune my family built? My body may have died once, but my spirit refused to be extinguished. Now, with fire in my veins and memories sharp as steel, I am ready to rewrite our destiny and turn their perfect scheme into their worst nightmare.”
