Chapter 2

Author: Bluecrest
In high school, Ella fell hard for Danny—the school's favorite bad boy.

But when Dakota found out? Total lockdown. Grounded for days.

By the time she tracked Danny down again, he didn't even flinch.

He just shrugged. "I'm into Hannah now. Look at her—body, face, everything. Only a ten like that deserves me. Go back to your buzzkill mom. She's like Mother Gothel or something."

He chased me for months. I ignored him, but that didn't matter.

Ella? Completely crushed.

That's when her hate for me really kicked in.

After high school, she bailed overseas. Didn't come back until grad school ended, when Dakota dragged her to some fancy banquet.

That's where she spotted Finley Epston—Northport's crown prince. Money, charm, untouchable.

She was ready to make her move until Dakota cut her off, voice cold: Finley wasn't the right match.

Ella snapped. "Mom! You ruin everything! Every guy I like, you tear apart! Do you just not want me happy?"

She ignored Dakota and chased Finley anyway.

But then she found out—he was already with me.

Finley went down on one knee on national TV. Cameras flashing. "Hannah Crowe, I'll love you forever."

Ella's eyes went bloodshot. Pure jealousy.

She'd always wanted to destroy me—she just never had the chance. Not until I went into labor at her hospital.

That's when she did it. Scalpel in hand. Took out me and my baby in one move.

But she never enjoyed Finley or my life. Before it even started, she fell to her death. Alone, at home.

Now fate hit reset.

This time, she clung to Lindsay without blinking.

Her tiny fingers gripped mine, eyes stormy. "Hannah, this time Finley's mine. You're stuck with psycho Dakota. I've got Lindsay—she'll get me early surgery, and I'll have the kind of face guys worship."

***

Lindsay had an eye for beauty, no doubt.

Last time, she started reshaping me in middle school. Early surgeries turned me into her little masterpiece.

But Ella had no clue what it felt like—lying on that table month after month, scalpels cutting skin, the brutal recovery, the constant exhaustion.

By the time I got pregnant, I'd lost count of how many times my nose got redone. I could smell rot in it every single day.

Just another lovely side effect.

Lindsay didn't do it out of love. She had a plan.

I was her shiny pawn. A face to flaunt. A moneymaker.

My looks, my body—they were bait for powerful, predatory men she wanted to impress.

Ella never saw that. All she saw was me strutting through luxury spots, marrying a billionaire, living the dream.

The memory made me shake.

And Finley? Worse than Lindsay.

If Ella wanted that nightmare, she could have it.

She made her choice.

***

I went home with Dakota and became Hannah Hart.

She was strict—no chewing with your mouth open, no junk food, no drama friends, no dating.

But weirdly? I was happy.

In my last life, I was just a pawn. Love wasn't even on the table.

This time, someone actually cared. Like, really cared. And honestly? I'd never felt luckier.

***

Fast forward—high school again.

Ella? Already halfway to pop star mode, thanks to Lindsay's obsession with plastic surgery. Way too glam for a teenager.

    Ella was about to go feral on Danny.Lindsay cut in. "Danny, listen. Even if you gotta sell your damn shoes, you owe my daughter twenty grand for her recovery. Why should she dump a baby for free?"She forgot—Danny wasn't some polished boss worried about appearances. He was dirtier than both of them put together."Perfect," he said. "If it costs twenty grand to end it, why not keep it? If the kid's mine, I'll take responsibility."I hated him, but watching him shut them down almost made me wanna clap."Danny Brooke!" Lindsay snapped, jabbing her finger in his face. "Don't think I can't have someone deal with you!"Danny grabbed her wrist, voice low and nasty. "Better pray they get to me first. I don't make exceptions for girls. Wanna get hit now? ER's right there."***Neither Lindsay nor Ella expected Danny to go that savage."You! Get out!" Lindsay shrieked, stabbing her finger at the door.Danny swaggered out, tossing over his shoulder, "Ella, don't take me for a fool.""

  • She Snatched My Misery Package   Chapter 5

    Lindsay was trash from the start—cussing was basically her first language."Parading around in those slutty-ass clothes, shaking your ass to reel in men. Didn't I tell you to watch it? And now you're knocked up—how the fuck are you supposed to land a rich kid like this?!"Ella curled up, trembling. "I did take the pills. I don't even know how I got pregnant."She was terrified of her. The same way I used to be.Back then, I wouldn't let Lindsay pimp me out. She shredded me with words, cut me down, sometimes jabbed me until my skin was covered in little marks.Even remembering made me shiver.And Ella's reaction said it all—Lindsay was pulling the same crap on her now.Only difference? Ella chose this. She wanted the rich-girl fantasy, and Lindsay was more than ready to shove her down that road. They were the same—greedy, selfish, made for each other.Then Ella muttered, like it had just clicked. "When Danny and I broke up two months ago, we... did it in the woods. I forgot the

    With Russell's personality, even without love, he'd have respected her for life.Ella never got that."Can I help you?" he asked.He wasn't the star professor yet—just a young PhD student. Still, campus heartthrob. Girls lined up for him.But the only one who just stared, speechless? Me."I... I wanted to ask you something."I finally worked up the nerve to ask about our major. He answered smooth, no hesitation.He wasn't like me, clawing into Harven with pure grind. He was a genius—one glance and he had it."Let me buy you lunch," I said with a smile.Russell came from a poor family, and this was his roughest stretch. Even in the cafeteria, he stuck to the cheapest meals.He looked at me, ears burning. "No need."But I pushed, and paid anyway.After that, we studied together a lot. Anytime I got stuck, I'd ask him.By semester's end, I was top of the program.And those meals I slipped him? Made his last school years a little less brutal.I was wrapped up in the thrill o
