ANMELDENLiana Carter had everything a woman could dream of—love, loyalty, and a future with her fiancé, Adrian Vale. That was until she was betrayed in the cruelest way possible. On the night of her engagement anniversary, she is framed for a crime she didn’t commit, abandoned by the man she trusted most, and left to die in a burning building set by the very people she called family. But death is not the end. Five years earlier, Liana wakes up in her 20-year-old body—with all memories of her betrayal still burning in her mind. This time, she is no longer the soft, trusting girl they once used. This time, she becomes calculated. Cold. Dangerous. One by one, she begins dismantling the lives of those who destroyed her—her fiancé, her best friend, and the hidden mastermind behind it all. But as revenge consumes her, she crosses paths with Kael Monroe, a powerful and feared man who seems to know more about her past death than he should. And for the first time, Liana realizes: Some enemies were never her enemies… and some allies may be more dangerous than revenge itself. Because in this life, she didn’t just return to survive. She returned to make them regret ever knowing her name.

The knocking came again.Three slow knocks.Then silence.Elena stared at the wall.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Another three knocks followed.This time, they were louder.Elena's heart began to pound."What's down there?" she asked.Adrian didn't answer.That scared her more than the knocking.She turned toward him."Adrian."His jaw tightened."Nothing."Elena gave him a cold look."Something is knocking from inside the walls, and you're telling me there's nothing?"Marcus moved toward the bookshelf."There's a lower level."Elena's eyes snapped toward him."How many levels?""Three.""And you told me there were only two."Marcus glanced at Adrian.Adrian looked away.Elena let out a bitter laugh."Of course."She walked toward the bookshelf.Adrian caught her wrist."Don't."Elena looked down at his hand.Then at his face."Let go.""You don't know what's down there.""Exactly."She pulled her hand free."That's why I'm going."Marcus stepped between them."I'll go first."Ele
The lights went out.Elena did not scream.She stood perfectly still in the darkness, listening.One second.Two.Three.Then the emergency lights flickered on.Adrian was no longer standing beside the window.Elena's eyes immediately moved toward the door.Empty.Her fingers tightened around the edge of the desk."Adrian?"No answer.She looked at the screen.The broken-circle symbol was still there.Except now, it was moving.Three thin lines rotated slowly around one another, forming a pattern that made Elena's stomach tighten.She hadn't touched the system.Neither had Adrian.So why was it active?A soft sound came from behind her.Click.Elena turned.The hidden bookshelf had opened again.But Adrian wasn't standing there.A man stepped out of the passage.He was tall, dressed completely in black, with dark hair and a calm expression that gave away nothing.Elena immediately reached for the letter opener on the desk.The man noticed.He smiled faintly."Still suspicious."Elena
Elena did not move immediately.Not because she was startled.Because her mind had already begun restructuring the sentence Adrian had just spoken.Someone wants you to.That phrase did not belong in a domestic confrontation. It didn’t belong in a marriage conversation. It belonged in intelligence reports, containment briefings, and controlled experiments that had already escaped their original parameters.She turned it over once in her mind.Then again.Adrian watched her carefully, not interrupting. He had the posture of someone who knew that the most dangerous reaction wasn’t anger—it was interpretation.Elena finally spoke.“Someone,” she repeated, her voice level. “Not you.”A faint pause.Adrian’s eyes narrowed slightly.“That’s correct.”Elena nodded once, slowly, as if confirming a hypothesis.“And not the people who buried me.”“No,” he said.That single syllable shifted the air in the room.Because it eliminated the simplest explanations. Revenge. Corporate manipulation. Fam
