Chapter 1

“My poor Lila… you’re only twenty. How could you die so young?“You left us behind! How’re we supposed to live without you?”The doctor announced with regret that Lila James had died. My mom clung to my dad and cried.I watched them coldly and could not stop sneering inwardly.In my past life, I was fooled by her skilled acting. I truly believed Lila had died.I let my mom scold and hit me. When those three lunatics tried to dig up Lila’s grave and torture her, I even stepped forward to protect her dead body!I feared that my parents, already grieving the loss of a daughter, would suffer again.But the truth was that my parents knew Lila had faked her death to escape those three lunatics and live a nice life.I walked straight into the hands of those three lunatics and suffered every kind of torment imaginable. In the end, my parents killed me and left my body in the wilderness.Thinking of that, I hurried forward and fell to my knees in front of the operating room door with a

Chapter 2

My mom finally finished dealing with all the relatives. When she saw me reaching for the phone to call the funeral home, she could not stay calm.She fell to her knees in front of me with a thud. Her loud cries drew people from the other wards to peek and see what was happening.“I’m begging you! Just let Lila go in peace!“We don’t want her to have a grand funeral, and we don’t want you using her memory to make money.”My mom even prostrated on the floor as she pleaded.She cried so hard that her tears streamed down her face. Anyone watching would have thought she was a devoted, loving mother.The onlookers talked all at once. They demanded that I respect my parents’ wishes. Some even mocked me.“Your sister’s dead, but you’re still trying to take advantage of her! You’re nothing but a greedy villain!”“You won’t even let your sister rest in peace! Your parents raised you all those years for nothing!”I clutched my chest and stepped back. I stared at my mom in disbelief. “I

I could not help but laugh inside. ‘My sister?’ I thought. Did they mean the sister who pushed me to death?In my past life, Zeke Quinton and two others showed up on the day Lila was buried. My dad pretended he had to take care of my mom and hid away. I had to deal with them alone.They realized Lila had toyed with their feelings. They hired someone on the spot to dig up her grave to torture her dead body.“Even if Lila is dead, she has to pay!”I foolishly stood in front of Lila’s tomb and told them to take it all out on me instead. I was forced to become Lila’s stand-in and take all their anger.They beat me until my skin tore open, and there was not a single spot on my body left unscathed. Then, they forced me to make all kinds of degrading videos. That period of my life felt like living in hell.I barely escaped and tried to take them to court, but every effort failed.First, Yaron Leslie, the lawyer, threatened me. “We can kill you as easily as stepping on an ant.

Chapter 4

We had not even reached home when we saw that the front gate was wide open.My mom frowned and asked, “Did you leave the door open when you went out?”We had just parked. Before my mom could rush inside, the relatives surrounded us.My dad looked at them in surprise. He did not like their sudden visit. “Why did you all come without warning? You could have called me first to warn me.”My grandmother hit my dad’s leg with her cane. She glared at him and said, “Lila is my granddaughter! How could I not come?”The other relatives scolded my parents and showed off the altar they had set up. They even carried Lila’s body out of the car as they talked.My parents looked terrified. They were afraid the relatives would notice something was wrong, but they could not refuse.I heard someone whisper, “A body that just died should be different. It’s still warm!”My dad broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly lifted Lila into his arms and walked straight to her room.I called out loudly

Chapter 5

Lila’s face went pale when I pinched her. Her whole body was tense, but she did not dare furrow her brow.My mom pushed me aside with all her strength. She wanted to protect Lila. “I saw Lila die with my own eyes! She cannot be alive! “You just want to use this chance to mistreat her body! I won’t allow it!”I sighed. “Mom, can you stop making a scene? “She’s my sister. If she’s alive, I’d be happier than anyone else in this room.”My mom cursed and stood in front of Lila. She refused to move, no matter what anyone said.My aunt stepped in and tried to back me up, saying I meant well. A few of the other relatives also tried to reason with her.I looked at my mother acting so hysterical and pretended to give in.“You’re right. We should pick a day and bury Lila as soon as possible.”My mom was afraid that waiting would cause more problems. She did not even check the calendar and insisted on a burial the next day.The relatives thought it was too rushed, but they agreed to

Chapter 6

The moment they saw me, they instinctively said, “Lila?”Before I could respond, their eyes dropped to the tombstone in my hands. Their eyes instantly filled with tears.Through gritted teeth, they said, “Dead? Don’t think even for a minute that just because you’re dead, I’ll forget what you did! “Today, I’ll dig up your grave if I have to. I’ll drag you out myself! You’ll pay for what you did!”My mom went pale when she saw the three of them.Lila had always used her looks to win men over. Whenever she met someone impressive, she made sure to brag to my mom about him.Clearly, my mom had seen photos of these three.My mom stayed hidden nearby, and my dad did not dare intervene.Then, the three men motioned with their hands, and the people behind them stepped forward, ready to dig up the grave and drag out the body.Our relatives would not allow it. “What are you doing to Lila?! Even in death, you won’t let her rest in peace!” “The dead deserve respect! You act human, but

Chapter 7

Zeke saw right through my dad’s plan and looked at him with open disgust. “I still have the video of your daughter. Do you want me to make it public? “You think provoking us is going to work? Keep dreaming!”My mom was desperate to save Lila. She tried to rush forward, but Yaron stopped her. He stared at Lila’s grave with cold eyes and spoke in a tone that was cruel and heartless.“She’s already dead. She should stay dead.”My mom was terrified that Lila would suffocate inside. She dropped to her knees in front of Zeke. Then, she pointed at me and begged with everything she had. “She’s Lila’s sister! She has never even been in a relationship. I’m willing to exchange her for Lila. “You can do whatever you want to her! I don’t care if she dies from it. Just please let Lila go…”My mom’s voice trailed away. The entire place fell silent.The relatives condemned my mom and mocked her without mercy.Yaron cleared his throat and cut her off sharply.“The guilty pay for their

Chapter 8

My mom rushed to Lila and cried loudly for help. She begged for someone to do CPR on Lila. But the relatives were terrified she might really be dead, so none of them dared to get involved. Zeke and the other two hated Lila, so they did not care about my mom’s pleas at all.“Who knows if she’s alive or dead? If you want to save her, do it yourself.”My mom had no choice but to try, but she did not know the correct way to do CPR. Even after several tries, Lila did not stir. She looked worse, in fact.I kept thinking about what someone dying from asphyxiation would look like, but Lila did not show any of those signs. She had never been in any danger. She was just pretending.Zeke and I exchanged a look. Then, he walked over to Lila and kicked her hard in the stomach.Lila tried her best not to react, but the pain still showed in the tight crease of her eyebrows.The crowd saw that Zeke’s method was getting a response and urged him to kick her a few more times.Zeke did not

Chapter 9

The day I went back to the past, I went straight to Zeke and the other two and laid everything out for them.Yaron narrowed his eyes at me. He was clearly suspicious. “Why should we believe anything you say?”I smiled confidently. Being Lila’s sister was reason enough to be doubted. But I had proof.I showed them Lila’s social media. She was afraid of being exposed, so she posted the gifts they gave her on her main account while secretly chatting with each of them from different accounts.Anyone could see the truth at a glance. Just as I thought, they were all Lila’s prey.Zeke kicked a chair in anger and cursed. Yarden did not look any better. Yaron gripped his phone so hard that the veins in his knuckles popped.They could barely control their anger and looked ready to go confront Lila on the spot.I cleared my throat. “I heard Lila’s planning to fake her death with my parents’ help. Wouldn’t it be better to wait and catch her in the act?”The three of them finally

Chapter 10

Zeke and the others had just left when my parents rushed to the police station to report the incident. But Zeke had already taken care of things, so they came home empty-handed.The officer even warned my mom, “If you file another false report, I’ll have to detain you.”Back at home, my mom completely broke down. She cried, screamed, and threatened to kill herself. She demanded that my dad call in favors to get Lila back.My dad sat on the couch with a cigarette. He looked exhausted. He grew even angrier at her antics and slammed his fist on the table.“You don’t think I tried? I begged everyone I could and got nowhere! She chose to offend those lunatics, of all people! “They’re influential and hold a lot of power. They could crush us as easily as ants! “Do you want me to end up in prison too?”I watched my parents argue with an indifferent face. I felt nothing.In my past life, they abandoned me for Lila and even cut me off when I was struggling the most. Lila had only
