“I’m not a fool, Jagger.” Jordan’s voice is ice, his walls towering. “Everyone I’ve ever let close has betrayed me.” Jagger steps closer, his gaze locking onto Jordan’s with an intensity that makes his breath hitch. Then, in a voice low and steady, he says, "Then it’s about damn time someone proves you wrong." ******** Betrayed by his wife. Poisoned by his own brother. Killed by the two precious people in his life. But when Jordan opens his eyes, he’s not dead—he’s been reborn three years in the past, back when the poison had only just begun to eat away at him. This time, he won’t be their fool. This time, he’ll make them pay. As he begins his revenge to avoid the future, his only ally is his divorce lawyer, Jagger Walker—a man too dangerous to trust, yet too irresistible to ignore. But when Jagger starts breaking down the walls around his heart, Jordan faces a new dilemma. He came back to take revenge and claim his son. But will he dare to love again? And can he change the unfortunate future ahead of him?

It tore through my fogged-up head, sharp and pissed, dragging me out of whatever drunken void I’m stuck in.Fuck. My head is pounding like someone shoved a sledgehammer in there.I groaned, rolling to my side, trying to push the ache down. My arm hit something heavy and soft but didn’t feel like a pillow.My brows pinched as I squinted. There’s blonde hair resting all over my damn arm.My heart skipped, and my brain slammed to life."Jordan!" Ashley’s voice blasted through the room as the door crashed open, smacking the wall like she used her full body weight.I froze. My eyes shot to the woman next to me.She was blonde and naked, her face half-buried in the pillow, her bare back fully exposed."The fuck? It wasn’t a dream," I muttered. I thought I heard Ashley in my dream, but damn it...Ashley stormed in, eyes blazing like fire. "Hngg, so you were cheating on
✓✓✓JaggerAfter meeting up with my client here, I should have gone home, but there was something about this guy I couldn’t ignore. First, those silver-blue eyes… they hit differently. They weren’t just pretty—they held weights of real pain hiding behind a face that was too beautiful for this world.We’ve been talking for hours. Okay, not really talking, he mostly just mumbles one or two words at a time, barely able to piece his story together. But the way his voice cracks sometimes… it says more than the words. And the more he speaks, the more it feels like his case is just the tip of the iceberg.His arms were stretched across the counter, head buried between them like he was trying to disappear. That dark, messy hair of his just flopped forward. Dude looked completely done. Gone. He’s cried so much his eyes are red and swollen. Said a whole lot of nasty shit about his brother and wife, and I didn’t even blink because from the way he looked, I could already tell... he wasn’t just hu
6 months later✓✓"Jordan? What the fuck do you mean by divorce... After we've been married for three freaking years with a two-year-old son, you're asking for a divorce? Why... Why? What is the problem? We've never had any issues, I've been taking care of you."Ashley continues to rant and yell, her hands flying around like she’s physically trying to swat the word ‘divorce’ out of the air. She picks up the paper I handed her a few minutes ago and stares at it like it's a joke she can laugh away. But it’s not. I’d thought long and hard about this. If I want to avoid ending up back in the same situation, if I want to survive this second chance I’ve been given, I need to make sure she’s out of my life...for good.And Billy?I'll handle him in my own damn way.I sat there on the couch in the living room, pretending to scroll through my phone like her voice wasn’t ringing in my ears. I even tried to check tomorrow’s schedule like it wasn’t the weekend. Maybe if I ignored her long enough,
Jordan"There's no one in the building except the guy monitoring the CCTV," Billy's voice began to fade now as I felt a deep sleep pulling me into darkness. I tried to force my eyes open.No! I can't… I can't die just yet. I have to tell my lawyer to remove both of them from my Will.Fuck no! Ah, is there a way to turn back time? If that isn't possible, please just keep me alive... I begged and pleaded to whoever it was that was listening. I could make a deal with the devil at this point. I can't let them win. God, no!The thick darkness swallowed me whole, but then suddenly, a tiny light appeared at the end of it. Is that heaven? So I died?Haha! What was I thinking? That life was a movie… I could wish to be saved and someone would appear just in time?I felt a dry scratch in my throat. My hand flew to my chest, waiting for the terrible pain I was used to feeling whenever I coughed. My head throbbed so hard, like it always did when the migraine kicked in. I winced as I coughed, my ot
✓✓✓Jordan"I can't believe this, Justin. I need to talk to Billy. I need to get exactly what the fuck is going on," I said, dragging my half-dead body off the bed. The words and evidence I just saw became a still image in my head. Something got to be wrong here, that document's certainly fake."Where are you going?" Justin, my friend yelled, but I didn’t answer. I grabbed my car keys. What? No! My head is buzzing, my own brother is the reason I've been bedridden for the past three fucking years?"Jordan, you are not doing great at the moment, get out of the car, we will sort it in the morning. You want to shorten the fucking time you have left?" Justin blurted holding the steering wheel to prevent me from driving out."Pfft!" I scoffed, "Dude, I'm still gonna die right? Whether now or 12 months time as the doctor said, but I want to see my brother to understand why the hell that shit brown paper says he's fed me organ damaging drugs instead of simple migraine drugs... Do you get me
