LOGINSophia had it all: fortune, loving family, and a bright future. Because of her blind love for him, she was willing to throw everything away. Then her best friend Laura betrayed her, and her lover Daniel deceived her. Sophia saw her life being ruined, saw the loss of her family, her fortune, and, finally, her life. Lying on her deathbed, she acknowledged that she was foolish and wished she just had one more chance to set everything right. And thus, Kismet heard. Years in the past, Sophia wakes up and is given a second chance at re-writing her story. This time, she would not be so naive. With painful lessons of the past life, Sophia gets determined to shield her family, expose the people who betrayed her, and take revenge from those that ruined her. Playing the part of the innocent, trusting girl she once was, Sophia outsmarts Laura at her own game and also Daniel. As her revenge develops, there comes into view a new player-a figure mysterious, with secrets and motives all his own. Can Sophia trust him, or is he another piece in a larger game?

放して――。
「いやああああああ!」
突き飛ばされるような感覚で目が覚めた。
咄嗟に自分の体に触れる。
パジャマを着ている。
ベッドサイドの仄かな灯り。
ホッとすると同時に、泣きたくなる。
あの悪夢のような夜から、二ヶ月。
忘れるべきだと自分に念じていたことが功を成したのか、暗い夜への恐怖心は少しだけ薄まり、少しだけ寝られるようになったのに……。
「なんで……こんなことに……」
ずっと、生理がきていなかった。
もしかして、と思った。
心当たりもあった。
ネット通販で、妊娠検査薬を購入した。
念のために、二本。
朝、一本目を使って検査をして、陽性だった。
間違いに違いないって、祈るような気持ちで、数時間前に二本目の検査をした。
結果は、変わらず陽性。
私は、妊娠している。
思い出すのは、新月の夜の、真っ暗な部屋の中でのこと。
乱暴に下着をおろす大きな手。
まるで獣のような荒い呼吸。
逃げようにも男の力には適わず、助けを求めた叫び声は「煩い」とただ一言で口をふさがれた。
その先は、ただ怖かった。
「やめて」と乞い願うのが精一杯で、助けを求める声も出なかった。
なにをされるか分からない子どもではない。
必死に抵抗するものの、足は開かれ、男は乱暴に押し入ってきた。
そこから先は、ただ痛く、苦しかった。
無理やりの行為は息ができないほど痛く、まともに呼吸をできず、力づくで押し込まれたものに内臓が押され、体の中がぐちゃぐちゃにかき回された。
激痛と息苦しさで、何度も意識が遠のいた。
意識が最後まで保たれていたのは、逃げたいという本能が残っていたからだろう。
長い間揺さぶられ続けて体の感覚が麻痺しても意識を失うことはなかった。
意識を失ったほうが、よかったかもしれない。
記憶は曖昧なのに、体の中に男の精が放たれる気色悪い感触が、忘れられない。
何度も中に精を放って男は満足したのか、男は突然倒れ込んできた。
悲鳴を上げて男を押しのけ、距離をとろうとしてベッドから落ちた。
静かな暗闇に響くのは私の荒い呼吸、そしてもう一つは穏やか寝息。
寝たと理解した瞬間に沸き上がったのは憎悪。
私を凌辱した男を、殺してやりたいと思った。
しかし、人を殺すことなんて今まで考えたことなく、中途半端なことをして男を起こしてしまうことが、その先何があるか、何をされるかのほうが怖かった。
逃げよう、と思った。
下着は奪われ、どこにあるかも分からなかった。
暗闇の中で下着を探すことは諦め、汗を吸って冷たくなった服は気持ち悪かったけれど、なんとか身なりを整えて、全てをコートで覆い隠して部屋を出た。
逃げ出す直前、扉の前に落ちていた自分の鞄を蹴飛ばしたのは、運がよかった。
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her between the trees, her heart racing with every step taken in the conciliation with Daniel and Kael without knowing what was to happen from one second to another. She came round a bend and almost collided with Ash standing facing her, his face stern with concern."Sophia!" he exclaimed, tugging at her arm and balancing her. "What's wrong? I saw you running. Is everything all right?"I-I don't know, Ash," she stammered between breaths. "I just heard Daniel talking to Kael. They are plotting something against our pack!""What?" Ash's eyes enlarged. "We have to warn your father. This is bigger than you and Daniel. We cannot let them catch us off guard.The shake of her head emphasized the confused expression on Sophia's face. "What if Daniel is being manipulated? He would never betray us; he cares for the pack!"Ash frowned, putting himself in her shoes. "I understand you care about him, but we can't take any chances. When he's with them, then
Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she slipped into the cool, dark woods. She was going to follow Daniel. The words he spoke with the Dark Moon wolves seemed to reverberate in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of the fears those words crept into. What were they planning?The moon was high above, and its light could barely filter through the thick foliage above. Deeper into the woods she walked, her instincts kicked in; she had to be quiet, not to draw attention to herself. There were crickets chirping, leaves rustling, and far off, an owl hooting. Still, she listened for one sound-the strong beating of her heart.Daniel!" she whispered shaking. "Where are you?Then she saw a blur of movement up ahead. Hiding behind a thick tree, she watched what was going on. And there, in a small clearing, was Daniel standing and talking with Kael-the rogue leader of the Dark Moon pack. Sophia's stomach was roiling with anxiety at every word that fell.You sure this will work?" Daniel asked, low. "I d
The sun had disappeared behind the tree line, its long shadows stretching over the width of the pack's premises. Sophia's stomach knotted as she neared the meeting area. News of the hostile behavior by the Dark Moon pack was rife in the pack. Whispers coursed through the air like a cold wind.She entered the big hall where a meeting was going on and immediately felt the tension radiating from the pack members. Her father stood at the head: Alpha Robert, commanding, powerful. His deep voice boomed loud through murmurs, cutting off everybody.Thank you all for coming," he said, his voice firm and laden. "We cannot turn a blind eye to the Dark Moon pack's intentions. They have been spotted on the edge of our borders, and we must be ready for anything."Sophia sat down beside Ash, her younger brother. He had always idolized their father, and Sophia could see the concern etched in his eyes.What do you think's gonna happen?" Ash whispered, his head close to hers. "You don't really think th
The sun was well up over the treetops the next morning, leaving in its wake a flood of gold. But anything less like sunshine would be hard to find, as Sophia hurled herself from side to side in her bed, greatly beset with doubts. What's going on with Daniel? Why does he act so differently? That uncomfortable feeling of last night just wouldn't go away.She had not been able to sleep that night, her body flailing in her bed while a decision brewed inside her head. This she knew was going to take a lot more determination on her part as she set off toward the training grounds where he mostly trained alone in the mornings. The air was cool; fresh pine filled her nostrils, but her mind dwelled on nothing except the upcoming fight.He kicked and punched as she entered the clearing, each movement sharp and precise with focus. Sophia took a deep breath and then stepped into his line of vision."Daniel," she called, firm though her stomach was tumbling.He stopped dead and turned, the smile br
