Chapter 1

It wasn't until I saw the message that my daughter, Anna Stone, had posted in the family group chat that it truly hit me. I'd been given a second chance at life.The message she had sent read, "There's a letter in the safe. If I'm not back in a week, make sure you open it."My heart skipped a beat as memories from my past life surged back all at once. This wasn't just any letter; it was a farewell letter.Out of curiosity, my husband, Wayne Stone, opened the letter. He'd always adored Anna and, the moment he read it, his expression hardened.That same day, he uploaded a photo of her to Instagram with the caption, "I heard Anna's on a mission. Let's see how many drug dens she'll take down this time."I froze in disbelief when I saw the post.As I clutched my phone and yelled at him, "Anna's on a drug bust! Do you even realize how dangerous this is? You exposed her mission for the world to see! Were you hoping she wouldn't come back alive?"I lunged for his phone to delete the pos

Chapter 2

Wayne replied immediately in the family group chat, "Okay, sweetheart. I'll be home in five minutes. We'll wait for you."Five minutes. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down quickly. Right now, the only thing that mattered was getting hold of that farewell letter.I faked Anna's handwriting, simply wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and quickly swapped it for the real letter in the safe. No matter what, Wayne, Gabriel, and Casper could never see what Anna had written.I'd just hidden the letter on me when I heard the door click shut. My chest tightened as I stepped out of the room, only to run straight into Wayne."Babe, quick, let's see what Anna wrote to us," he said. The worry etched on his face made my skin prickle. I pointed casually. "Go ahead. Read it yourself."Without another word, I dashed to the master bathroom. I was even completely oblivious when the maid, Barbara Fielder, bumped into me.This time, I had to be the first to read what Anna's farewe

Chapter 3

I shivered uncontrollably.Suddenly, I remembered what I'd heard when I was sent to the drug lords in my past life. "Luckily, one of us got into that officer's father's Instagram and saw his post. Otherwise, we'd have ended up in her hands for sure."A chill ran through me. Gritting my teeth, I threw myself at Wayne once more with all my strength.However, he grabbed my neck, his voice slow and deliberate. "Everything I've done is for our family. Don't push me."His grip cut off my air, and my head was pounding. Just as I was about to give up, someone came home. "Lara? Wayne? Are you here? Anna's been acting so secretive. What did she leave behind?"At that, Wayne finally released me.I crumpled to the floor, clutching my neck, gasping for air.Gabriel froze for a beat as he came in, then immediately helped me to my feet. "Wayne! What the hell are you doing? How could you lay a hand on her?"Gabriel had been one of the murderers in my past life, yet now he was the only one I co

Chapter 4

In a heartbeat, the concern on Gabriel's face was gone, and it was swept aside by anger and disbelief."Gabriel! What did Anna write? Let me see it!" I demanded, reaching for the farewell letter.Gabriel, ever the gentleman, pushed my hand away. His gaze turned cold as it fell on me, before he shifted to Wayne. "I'm sorry, Wayne. I lost my head just now."I froze, as if every ounce of strength had drained from my body. Just like in my past life, that same crushing despair surged up and swallowed me whole.I shook my head violently, sobbing as I cried out, desperate to stir Gabriel's love for Anna. "Gabriel, she's your wife, the woman who's shared your bed for three years. The two of you have known nothing but love."You could never bear to see her harmed, could you? Please, I'm begging you. I'll get down on my knees if that's what it takes. Just don't hurt Anna. The people that she's after are merciless. If her cover's blown, there won't even be a body left to find!"I was crying

Chapter 5

In the next instant, Wayne wrenched me down from the windowsill."You lied to me!" I cried, sinking my teeth savagely into his shoulder.His face flushed with pain, yet he stayed silent, only seizing Anna's bedsheet to lash me tight. "Sentimental folly. You're not going anywhere until we return. If you're so eager for death, then be my guest. Better two corpses than the whole family in the grave."Wayne's eyes met mine, a fleeting spark of contempt glinting in them. Then, they turned on their heels and headed out.I stared at their backs, hatred flooding through me.The door slammed shut behind them.I waited until I heard their footsteps going down the stairs before struggling to fish my phone out of my pocket. My hands were bound so tightly I had to use my feet to dial.However, just as the ringing tone came through, the door flew open again. Wayne and Gabriel, who had just left, came charging back in and snapped the call off."Who were you calling?" Wayne yelled, smashing my

Chapter 6

The car engine roared to life from downstairs. I closed my eyes, swallowed by despair.I'd been quietly plotting to take Wayne and Gabriel down with me, forgetting that Casper was still around. I froze when he suddenly burst into the room."Mom? Did someone break in? Who did this to you?" His face was etched with worry as he hurried to untie me. "Mom, talk to me! Who did this? I'm going to make them pay!"Casper's eyes glistened with tears of worry. And yet, in my past life, he'd been the first to suggest sending me to Mirewick. I'd once been the company's second-in-command, but I had stepped aside to care for Casper and Anna, never imagining I'd raise such an ungrateful child."I'm calling Dad and Gabriel now!" he yelled. However, I grabbed his hand before he could act. "Casper."Even if the odds were slim, I couldn't let go of them."Is Anna the person closest to you?" I asked. He immediately replied, "Of course! Who else could be closer than us? We're twins!"Before eve

Chapter 7

Casper unfolded the farewell letter and read it through. When he finished, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles whitened.I fought to steady my nerves, inching closer, desperate to see the words inside.Casper had seemed so unwavering just moments ago. But now, he suddenly turned to me, his gaze cold and piercing."Dad, just drive," he said.A shiver ran down my spine. What curse could be hidden in this letter?Casper had been panicking moments ago, but now he seemed completely relaxed. He leaned back in his seat and carefully refolded the letter, while I felt my mind slipping.The GPS showed we were only about 30 miles from our destination. Once we arrived, Anna would be finished, just like last time.With no other choice, I yanked the steering wheel while Wayne wasn't paying attention. The car jolted and wobbled immediately, but thankfully, there were no other vehicles around.The three of them erupted at once."Are you insane? Don't drag the rest of us down with

Chapter 8

I stared blankly ahead as tears slid down my cheeks.Clifford jabbed a finger at Wayne. "This is your last chance. Fix this or I'm taking your actions straight to the organization!"I swayed on my feet. "Clifford, it was my mistake."Wayne glared at me, his hatred blazing, and Clifford had clearly lost his patience. "What do you mean by that? You're messing with someone my age?"I tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come out. So, that was the reason Anna and the other 36 officers had died on that mission.Clifford was beyond furious. He smashed two entire sets of coffee cups.Wayne tried to calm him for what felt like an eternity. When Wayne finally emerged, his face was dark and stormy.Before I could utter a single word, he yanked me into the car, rough and merciless. "You worthless fool! You're going to be the first to die today!"He drove me, Gabriel, and Casper home. The moment we got out of the car, he yanked me into the house by my hair."Lara, if you care so much ab

Chapter 9

My heart shattered, aching unbearably.Wayne's hand shook, and his phone clattered to the floor. "How… How did this happen? I swear I deleted the post on Instagram."Gabriel's eyes were reddened with tears. "I-I only shared Anna's location. How could they find her so quickly? I only wanted to warn the dealers that there were moles among them, so they'd call off the deal. That way, Anna wouldn't have to go on the mission, and she'd be safe…"Rage surged through me, and I slapped them hard, over and over. "This is all your fault! You guys thought you were so smart! Anna's an undercover officer! Once they found out, there was no way they'd ever let her go!"Gabriel's fingers shook as he opened the tracking app. The moment Anna's location appeared, terror made him fling the phone to the floor. The location was gone. In its place, a mocking message appeared. "Still looking for your wife? You'll find her in death!"Clifford's voice snapped with rage. "You worthless fools, thinking you

Chapter 10

Anna spent eight endless days in the ICU. I didn't leave her side once, constantly praying that she'd make it through.Meanwhile, the trio responsible for putting Anna in danger, stood out like a sore thumb.Finally, after eight days, Anna was transferred to a regular hospital room. The instant her eyes opened, tears streamed down my face. "Anna, you really scared me."She cried too, but quickly looked away when her eyes met Wayne, Gabriel, and Casper. "Mom, you understood our secret code, didn't you?"I seized her hand, nodding desperately, finally letting loose the flood of emotions I'd been holding back for days.Gabriel approached. "Babe, thank God you're awake."When he stepped forward, Casper followed. "Anna, don't ever do anything so dangerous again. Dad's hair's turning gray from worrying about you!"A flicker of irony crossed my eyes. I hadn't planned to bring this up right after Anna woke, but I certainly hadn't expected her to tear off their masks herself."Gabriel,
