After my mom, Margaret Hale, dies of a heart attack, she starts appearing in my sister Claire Dawson's dreams. In a dream, Mom tells Claire to climb Mount Mistwood before sunrise and burn the entrance ticket for her, or the other ghosts will bully her. Claire doesn't tell me anything. She packs a bag in the middle of the night and forces herself to the summit. While she's gasping her way up that mountain, I'm asleep at home when I suddenly go into cardiac arrest. I wake up in the emergency room with doctors shouting over me. I barely survive before Mom appears in Claire's dreams again. This time, she says skydiving is her last wish. If Claire doesn't do it for her, she won't rest in peace. Claire signs up right away, ignoring everything I say. But then, her parachute refuses to open, and she plummets toward the ground. Luckily, she gets snagged in a tree and walks away without a scratch. Meanwhile, I miss a step going downstairs, tumble to the bottom, end up covered in bruises, and break five ribs. While I'm recovering in the hospital, Mom shows up in Claire's dreams again. Now, she wants Claire to go to the South Pole for her, saying she can finally move on and be reincarnated once Claire completes the trip. Claire doesn't hesitate and books a tour on the spot. While she's taking pictures with penguins, I freeze to death back home during a 104-degree heatwave. Only after I die does it finally hit me that Mom's missions for Claire always end with me on death's doorstep. What I don't understand is how Mom keeps shifting the danger meant for Claire onto me instead. The next time I open my eyes, I'm back on the morning after Mom first appeared in Claire's dream.

The moment I climbed into the helicopter, a wave of relief finally loosened the tightness in my chest.I was rushed straight into surgery. It lasted three days and three nights.The doctors called it a complete success.The little thing that had been buried in my brain was finally gone for good.By the time I was transferred out of the ICU and into a regular room, my mother's secretary, Phoebe Wagner, was already there waiting.She was the one I'd called from the villa that day. She was the only person in this world I trusted besides my mother.Phoebe gave me a gentle smile and handed me a thick folder. "I think that once you've gone through these, you'll understand everything, Ms. Dawson."I grabbed it and flipped through page after page, reading every line.As I kept reading, my expression just grew colder until all I felt was hatred.Right then, noise erupted outside my room.I clearly heard Claire's voice. "Why won't you let me in? I'm her sister! I'm the only sister of t

The person who was bound hand and foot inside the cabinet, gagged and trembling, was Claire, who was supposed to be freezing in the wind and playing with penguins at the South Pole.With tears and snot streaking down her face as she stared at me with the most pitiful expression she could muster, she silently begged me to spare her.On the screen, Margaret was shrieking, hurling every vile curse she could think of at me.I barely spared her a glance. I simply scoffed, "You came up with dreams and that injury-transfer trick, but you can't stand me fixing the problem at its root?"That shut her up.I'd been given a second life. I'd upgraded every camera in the villa. Yet, Claire had still managed to slip past the bodyguards like the place was empty and vanish from under all their noses.I'd known something was wrong with the security in this villa.If she could slip out once, then there was no way I'd be standing here without a backup plan when my life was on the line.The only re

The bodyguard's eyes went wide at what I said.Mom said something to him, and he tore out his earpiece before pushing the phone into my hand.I glanced at the screen and saw a woman with flawless makeup and rosy cheeks. It was my mother, who was supposed to be dead.There wasn't a trace of warmth on her face. Her gaze was wary, edged with a subtle, almost hidden touch of regret.What could she possibly regret?No mother would ever hurt her own child, yet she had used those so-called "dreams" as her excuse to kill me.As I questioned her, she let out a cold snort. "So what if you figured it out? You're still going to die. The only difference is that now you know the truth.""So, you had the lawyer slip this document in, didn't you?" I asked, holding up the paper that had finally laid everything bare for me.On the screen, Mom took off her glasses calmly. "Since you already know, why bother asking?""No," I said. "I need to hear you say it."Her gaze darted aside, refusing to m
