The Enemy Who Collected My Corpse
The day of the hockey championship match was the day her life began to unravel.
Once, she stood in the arena believing the captain she loved would become her forever. Instead, that single game marked the beginning of betrayal, disgrace, and a fate that ended in a cold, lonely death. When everyone abandoned her, only one person came for her in the end—her boyfriend’s greatest rival, the man she had hated more than anyone for no solid reason... the one who silently collected her corpse.
Now she's been given a second chance.
She wakes up moments before the match that destroyed everything, armed with memories of a future soaked in blood and regret. This time, she refuses to love the wrong man, refuses to be sacrificed for someone else's victory, and refuses to die.
But changing fate isn't as simple as rewriting the past.
The enemy she once despised keeps appearing where she least expects him, protecting her before danger strikes, looking at her with eyes that seem to know far more than they should. As old enemies become unexpected allies and hidden truths behind her previous life begin to surface, she realises the biggest mistake she made wasn't trusting the man who killed her...
It was never seeing the man who stayed until the very end.
In this life, she'll rewrite the score, expose every betrayal, and make sure neither she nor the man who carried her broken body will suffer the same ending again.

Chapter: Coach's warningEvelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)We were one mistake away from conceding the first goal.One mistake that could be made in first place.Brian swore under his breath.Coach Henry was already shouting instructions from the bench.“Hold your positions! Stop chasing the puck!”The players regrouped, but my gaze was fixed on Zack.He was breathing hard, his shoulders rising and falling beneath his jersey.He looked furious.But not because he made a mistake.His anger was directed at others – at the defenders who stopped him; at Northbridge for refusing to give him the opening he wanted.And perhaps at the fact that the play hadn't ended with everyone watching him score.If it were my past life, I would have spent the next break explaining how he could turn his mistake into an opportunity.I would have made him believe that he was still the centre of the game.But I wasn't that girl anymore.“Evelyn!” I looked at Brian’s dark face.“What’s the backup plan?” He asked grimly.I looked back at the

Chapter: his first mistakeEvelyn’s P.O.V.“No matter how aggressive they come after you, don’t lose your cool, and don’t give them any unnecessary opening, especially you, Zack, and Daniel.” Coach Henry’s voice was stern and filled with stress.“You don’t worry, Coach. I will keep my cool,” Daniel assured Coach Henry in a serious tone.Zack didn’t say anything, just hummed after Daniel.Coach Henry wasn’t happy with his attitude, but the match was about to begin in ten minutes.I stayed behind Brian, listening to their conversation.Except for Zack, everyone was with the same enthusiasm as they were in the past life.For the next few more minutes, Coach Henry went through everything hurriedly, reminding them that the selectors were still there.And this can be their last chance.The referee's whistle echoed through the stadium, announcing the beginning of the final match.The crowd erupted.Thousands of spectators rose from their seats, waving banners and chanting the names of their favourite players.The air

Chapter: secrets of his familyEvelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Heat rushed to my feet.Lying to my parents and to any of my family members wasn’t something that I ever did in my past life and certainly couldn’t do in this life.“Ye…..esss, Dad. I only admired him because of the match.” I stammered a little because of the embarrassment, shrinking my shoulders slightly.“She said that she has no romantic feelings for that boy, and it’s enough for us, Davis.” Mom scolded Dad, but I could feel relief in her tone.I looked at my parents and took a deep breath.Judging by the way Dad avoided my eyes, he had no intention of revealing that information either.I swallowed the questions crowding my mind.If they didn't want to tell me, forcing them wouldn't help.Mom looked at me with a serious gaze.“I am glad that you don’t have any feelings for that boy, Evely.” Mom said in a very serious tone.I stared at her blankly; my attention was completely on her.“We have some business arrangements with that family, and yes, that’s wh

Chapter: they knewEvelyn’s P.O.V.“Tomorrow is the big day for your team, huh?” Dad asked me, his tone casual.I bobbed my head while chewing the steak.“Oh, come on! It’s just another match. Her big day is the next. She is going to join the Raven Club.” Mom remarked with a wide smile.They were still excited about my internship.My family wasn’t a cold type, but with our parents always busy with work and social life, we mostly shared a meal or two in the whole month.It had always been Athena who took care of me like a parent figureThis was what happened in the past life.“It’s just an internship, Mom. Yeah. It’s one of the biggest and most successful clubs, and yes, my days will be going to be one hell in the coming future, and yes…. I am still excited.” I grinned widely like a fool.They shared a look and then laughed.“You are still the same, Eve. Our careless and still adorable girl,” Mom said teasingly.I pouted, but they laughed again.Athena wasn’t at home because she was out with Theo for din

Chapter: she protected meEvelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)My body froze.My mind was made up about ruining Zack and building my career, but my body still remembered every second of abuse that I endured in my past life.“Don’t come closer to me,” I screamed, taking two steps backward in panic.My scream startled Zack, though.His eyes widened in disbelief.I was shaking badly, and the fear in my eyes was so raw that everyone around us stopped.“Stay away from me, Zack,” I screamed again, my legs now trembling hard.“Eve…. Calm down…. I….. I didn’t mean to… to.”“To what?” I looked at Cathy, and tears filled my eyes instantly.She was almost running in our direction, her face flushing red because of the anger.For a second, I thought that she would lunge at Zack, but she approached me.I threw myself into his embrace and she held me tightly against her chest.My face was now buried in the crook of her neck.“She told you again and again not to approach her, Zack. Why can’t you understand the plain English?” Cathy ye

Chapter: his another sideEvelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Kaelen stared at me for a few seconds before glancing down at his hands.“Is that supposed to be another flaw in my game?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.“Perhaps.” I shrugged innocently.“Or perhaps I am simply curious.” I blinked innocently, but the amusement increased in his gaze.“Curious enough to study how I hold my hockey stick?” He tilted his head slightly, and that slight curve at the corner of his mouth almost made my heart skip a beat.He was already devilishly handsome, and that simple curve was killing.“Curious enough to know why you didn’t take advantage of this?” I corrected him, lifting my chin.“You are still the biggest mystery for the opposing team strategist, Mr. Blackthorne.” His lips twitched, getting the provocation and teasing in my tone.“Please continue, Ms. Croft,” he said calmly, but I narrowed my eyes.So, now the great and almighty Kaelen Blackthorne was getting back at me, huh?I picked up my cup, took a si

Chapter: he tried to find meArthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What exactly did Pearl tell you about the vault?” I asked Jack, keeping my voice deliberately low.“She said it contains everything Rose has hidden over the years. Medical records, old documents, probably evidence related to Summer and Graham. She also mentioned that the old wing has everything they could use to devise their next plan.”My jaw tightened.So this wasn't just an attempt to retrieve Summer.Someone was looking for information.And that changed everything.“Where is the intruder now?”“We activated the theft alarm. He disappeared from the cameras after entering the old wing.”“Are you sure that he is not hiding in the mansion somewhere?” I asked him while moving my fingers on the keyboard.We haven't confirmed whether he escaped or found another way to hide. I am still searching for him,” Jack replied to him calmly.I glanced at Victor.He was sitting opposite me with Evan in his arms, gently supporting the boy's head.Evan hadn't moved.That

Chapter: what they did to herArthur’s P.O.V.“Is she really that crazy to go to any extent?” Victor scoffed in disdain, but he was still shocked to learn that someone had tried to enter the new mansion using real credentials.I didn’t answer but looked at the boy sleeping in my embrace.Evan had curled up against my stomach, taking a comfortable position.The slight rise and fall in his chest against my stomach gave me a sense of peace that I wanted desperately.We weren’t in the ambulance now.Victor changed the plan midway and transferred us to a mini tourist bus.We knew Rose was desperate now, and Victor didn’t want to risk Evan’s life.“Hats off to Pearl; she played the fool of Rose.” He chuckled, still muttering under his breath to suppress his anger, but I knew that he was seething.“She didn’t build a home for us. She built a fortress to ensure that no harm can reach Evan and Summer,” I said to him calmly, stroking Evan’s back lightly.He stirred lightly but didn’t wake up.I immediately stopped moving my

Chapter: an intruderPearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)I looked back at the live feed, but my eyes weren't really seeing the study anymore.I was seeing the past.The hospital corridors.The white walls.The smell of antiseptic.Summer's pale face.And countless times I had stood outside the operating room, waiting for someone to tell me that my little sister was okay.“When did you learn about his existence?” he asked me in a cautious tone after some time.“Two days before that family meeting.” I told him in a hoarse voice.He gasped again, but an incoherent curse spat out of his mouth.“I gave everything about Graham, and the connection of other people from both families, but.” I paused, feeling somewhat guilty, but I didn’t want Summer to know how our parents used her to save someone related by blood to us, but we knew him.The words became stuck in my throat.I lowered my gaze to my hands.“You kept that from her?” He asked in disbelief, but I shook my head.He was in that meeting.So, of course, he had alre

Chapter: A medical resourcePearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)The live feed loaded.I stared at the screen without blinking. I expected nostalgia but felt nothing.My mother's study appeared exactly as I remembered it.The dark wooden shelves.The massive desk in the centre.The paintings on the walls.The same room where I had spent countless hours sitting silently while Rose made decisions about Summer and my life.The same room where she had discussed Graham's treatment as if our existence was nothing more than a resource.But tonight, there was something different.Rose wasn't there.Neither was Oscar.The room was completely empty.I narrowed my eyes.“What are you doing?” Jack asked me while his fingers ran over the keyboard of his laptop.“I am checking Rose’s study.” I answered him honestly.“Why?” he asked in a confused tone but didn’t look at me.“Because if my mother is planning something, she won't necessarily be where we expect her to be.”I zoomed in on the feed.The whole study was empty, yet this emptin

Chapter: her silence bothered mePearl’s P.O.V.“You should be resting.” Jack remarked while bringing a glass of warm milk in the room.“I am waiting for them,” I answered without hesitation.They had put me on a hospital bed so that they could move the bed in a comfortable position instead of moving my body on a normal bed.It irked me, but it was for my child.So, I suppressed my hatred towards the hospital bed and decided to stay on it.“What did he say? Are they leaving?” he asked me, passing the glass to me.“Yeah. He said that he will be here in approx. an hour.” I told him what Arthur told me.He nodded and sat down beside my legs.He waited for me to finish the glass.I didn’t have much appetite. So, he brought a glass of milk for me.“Did you notice any movements from their side?” I asked him after finishing the milk.He took the empty glass from my hand and shook his head.“Nothing till now," he answered, and I frowned.This wasn’t like Oscar and my mother.They had already lost control of the situation.My

Chapter: she knew meArthur’s P.O.V.I put on the T-shirt and started opening my belt to change the pants while waiting for her to say something.“He is one of those people who killed Vera, and hurt Evan to this extent.” She spoke softly, but I froze.“A few punches is still a merciful act for the person who played with lives only to fulfil his sickening desire of having a son who can carry his bloodline.” She continued and I just blinked.“You…. You are not angry?” I asked her, still staring at my reflection in a daze.“Of course, not.” She replied instantly, but her voice shook a bit.“Th… they gave the same excuse every time, Arthur.”“That they want to save, Graham. That they hurt everyone so that he can live, but did they ever mention what Graham wants?” Her question snapped me out of my daze.“He opened his eyes inside a ventilator, and till now, he lived surrounded by machines. Did they ever mention if Graham wants this life or not?” The clarity of her thought was something that I always admired.“

Die zweite Frau des Milliardärs: Durch Gelübde an ihn gebund
Mein Bräutigam wurde nur wenige Stunden vor unserer Hochzeit angegriffen, und ich war gezwungen, stattdessen seinen älteren Bruder zu heiraten. Man sagte, es sei zum Wohle aller – doch was war mit mir? Wir sprachen unser Eheversprechen wie Roboter, die eine Erklärung herunterleierten: keine Emotionen, kein Ausdruck, nur widerwillige Worte, die über unsere Lippen kamen. So einfach wurde ich in den Abgrund einer Ehe ohne Hoffnung auf die Zukunft gestoßen.
Mehr noch: Ich wurde zur Stiefmutter eines dreijährigen Kindes, das vor Freude außer sich war, als man ihm sagte, es habe nun eine Mutter.
Ich brachte nicht einmal den Mut auf, dieses Kind nicht in meine Welt zu lassen.
Was soll ich jetzt tun? Meine Ehe hatte für mich eine große Bedeutung. Auch wenn es sich um eine arrangierte Vernunftehe handelte, hatte ich versucht, sie mit meinem ursprünglichen Bräutigam zum Funktionieren zu bringen – doch wie sieht es jetzt aus?
Mein Mann – kalt, gleichgültig, noch immer um seine erste Frau trauernd und für mich in jeder Hinsicht unnahbar. Das hatte ich mir gewünscht, und das hatte ich bekommen.
Was soll ich jetzt tun? Was hält das Schicksal für mich bereit?

Chapter: der SchutzschildAus Pearls Sicht (Fortsetzung)Ich versteifte mich, als mir klar wurde, dass er nicht mit mir zurückkommen konnte. Ich wollte nicht allein im selben Raum mit seinen Eltern sein. In seinem Blick lag ein Hauch von Zögern – doch das konnte nur ich bemerken, da ich direkt neben ihm stand. Die Art, wie er sein Handy umklammerte, ließ darauf schließen, dass es dringend sein musste – so dringend, dass er sich entscheiden musste, ob er zu Evan oder in die Firma fahren sollte. „Wenn es dir unangenehm ist, allein dorthin zu gehen, bringe ich dich zu deiner Wohnung“, schlug er vor, doch ich schüttelte den Kopf. Evan befand sich in einem sehr zerbrechlichen Zustand. Der Junge machte gerade so viel durch und brauchte seinen Vater an seiner Seite. Natürlich konnte ich Arthur nicht ersetzen, aber in Evans Augen war ich immer noch seine Tante. „Ich kann nicht mehr lange so weitermachen“, murmelte ich. Ich sah ihn ruhig an, während in meinem Inneren ein Sturm der Gefühle tobte. Ich wollte in de

Chapter: Sie ist verletztAus Pearls SichtIch holte tief Luft, bevor ich das Dokument unterschrieb, das für die Heiratsurkunde nötig war. Es fühlte sich immer noch unwirklich an. Ich war ruhig gewesen – genau wie Arthur –, bis wir hier ankamen und die Beamtin mich bat, das letzte Dokument zu unterzeichnen. Ich zögerte nicht, doch meine Finger erstarrten für einen Moment. Nun war ich offiziell Pearl Froste. Ich hatte gewusst, dass ich nach der Hochzeit Pearl Froste heißen und den Nachnamen meiner Familie ablegen würde; ursprünglich hatte ich jedoch erwartet, als Pearl Jack Froste bekannt zu sein. Doch jetzt bin ich Pearl Arthur Froste. Die Beamtin lächelte mich strahlend an, während sie mir die Unterlagen abnahm. „Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Mr. und Mrs. Froste. Möge Gott Ihnen beiden ein glückliches und erfülltes Leben schenken!“, gratulierte sie und zeigte dabei ihre strahlend weißen Zähne. Ihr Lächeln steckte mich an; auch ich lächelte, und ohne rechten Grund war ich mir sicher, dass ich dabei auch errö

Chapter: Als Vater versagtAus Arthurs Sicht„Was genau läuft bei Evan schief, Victor?“, fragte ich Victor mit steifer Stimme, während ich die Bluttransfusion beobachtete. „Es ist Krebs, Mr. Froste. Die Krebszellen können jederzeit aggressiv werden oder ein Leben lang ruhen“, antwortete mir Dr. Smith an Victors Stelle. Seine Stimme klang steif, als hätte er gerade etwas sehr Bitteres geschluckt. Ich stellte keine weiteren Fragen. Es hatte keinen Sinn, immer wieder dasselbe zu fragen. Pearl schlief inzwischen auf der Couch. Man hatte ihr nur eine Einheit Blut abgenommen, aber Victor sagte, sie sei seelisch völlig erschöpft. Deshalb war ihr schwindelig geworden und sie war eingeschlafen. „Wir werden seine Vitalwerte überwachen und alle vierundzwanzig Stunden einige Tests durchführen, um zu sehen, ob sich sein Zustand verändert“, fuhr Dr. Smith mit ernstem Gesichtsausdruck fort. „Wenn … wenn alles beim Alten bleibt, kann Evan dann eine Knochenmarktransplantation bekommen?“, fragte ich ihn in der Hoffnung au

Chapter: Verrat in der Familie„Du denkst nicht klar, Arthur. Das bist nicht du. Sei vernünftig und …“ „Vernünftig? Nicht klar denken?“, fragte ich meinen Vater kühl und unterbrach ihn mitten im Satz. Er blinzelte verdutzt. „Was hast du dir dabei gedacht, als du dich auf diesen Plan mit ihnen eingelassen und das Leben deines eigenen Enkels aufs Spiel gesetzt hast?“, fragte ich kühl und ließ meinen Blick zwischen ihm und meiner Mutter hin- und herwandern. Sie hatte Tränen in den Augen, sah mich aber nicht an. Auch Dad sagte kein Wort mehr. „Sechs Monate, Dad. Du hattest sechs kostbare Monate, um seine Behandlung zu beginnen und sein Leben zu retten. Stattdessen hast du es mir verheimlicht. Was hast du dir dabei gedacht?“, fragte ich ihn kühl; ich warf ihm seine eigene Frage zurück und betonte dabei jedes einzelne Wort. Ich teilte ihnen mit, dass ich in ein paar Tagen mit Evan und Pearl umziehen würde. Daraufhin gingen sie in einem Wutanfall auf mich los. Die Stille im Wohnzimmer war so dicht wie unsichtbare

Chapter: Er hat ihren Plan zerstört.Aus Pearls Sicht (Fortsetzung)„Glaubst du wirklich, er würde das Leben meines Sohnes aufs Spiel setzen und ich würde ihn einfach so davonkommen lassen?“, fragte Arthur, doch die Drohung und seine Wut waren in seiner Stimme unüberhörbar.Ich trat langsam auf ihn zu, legte meine Arme um seine Taille und drückte mein Gesicht an seine Brust.„Arthur. Es … es ist nicht so, wie du denkst. Wir haben alles unter Kontrolle. Evan wird nichts geschehen. Vertrau mir da. Ich … ich würde niemals ein Kind benutzen, um finanziellen Gewinn zu erzielen.“ Dad versuchte, seinen Standpunkt zu erklären, doch das kam zu spät.„Sie sind ein erfahrener Geschäftsmann, Mr. Nickelson. Sie hätten die Konsequenzen absehen müssen, bevor Sie einwilligten, Ihrem Bruder zu helfen. Gehen Sie und tun Sie alles, was in Ihrer Macht steht, um ihn zu retten. Ich werde mir jeden einzelnen von ihnen vornehmen, der das Leben meines Sohnes als Köder benutzt hat, um etwas zu erreichen.“Ich sagte nichts, doch die Kälte in seine

Chapter: Er hat versucht, mich zu triggern.Aus Pearls Sicht (Fortsetzung)„Ich habe den Tagesbericht nicht erhalten, Willow“, fragte ich sie ruhig und warf einen Blick auf Arthur, der auf uns zukam, während Patricia in die Küche zurückkehrte.Paul stand sofort auf.„Pearl“, mein Vater rief mich von der anderen Seite herbei; ich presste die Kiefer zusammen und bewahrte einen ausdruckslosen Gesichtsausdruck.Ich legte den Laptop auf das Sofa und stand auf.„Warum bist du bei Willow?“, fragte ich ihn ruhig, während ich mich erhob.„Ich muss mit dir reden“, antwortete er, während ich auf den Balkon zuging.„Worüber?“, fragte ich im selben Tonfall, trat auf den Balkon und schob die Tür hinter mir zu.„Sapphires Aktion hat für Chaos in der Familie gesorgt, Pearl. Wie konntest du das zulassen?“, fragte er mit leiser Stimme, doch ich spürte den Vorwurf darin.„Und wenn ich es zugelassen habe? Sie hat ja nichts Falsches getan. Gelder direkt vor meiner Nase zu veruntreuen – ist es das, was eine Familie tun sollte?“, entgegnete ich, währ
