The rain fell in relentless sheets, drumming against the tall glass windows of the Carter estate like a warning no one could hear. Inside, the grand hall shimmered with chandeliers and polished marble floors, a place that once felt like home to Elaine Carter. Tonight, it felt like a stage—cold, distant, and cruel. Elaine stood at the center of it all, her fingers trembling slightly as she clutched the edge of the long dining table. Her heart pounded, not from fear alone, but from disbelief. Across from her stood Lily Carter, her stepsister, dressed in white silk like some untouchable angel. But Elaine knew better now. Behind that soft smile was something far darker. “You look surprised, Elaine,” Lily said softly, tilting her head. “I thought you would have figured it out by now.” Elaine’s voice came out strained. “Why…? Why would you do this to me?” Lily let out a small laugh, the sound echoing too sharply in the vast room. “Why? Because you had everything handed to you. Fathe

By evening, the Carter estate no longer felt peaceful. It felt like a chessboard. Elaine Carter sat at her desk, a file open in front of her, though her eyes hadn’t moved across the pages in minutes. The golden light from the setting sun stretched across the room, catching the edges of polished wood and turning everything deceptively warm. Deceptive. Just like Lily. Elaine tapped her finger lightly against the paper, her mind replaying the timeline she remembered so clearly. In her past life, this was the week everything began to tilt out of her favor. Small inconsistencies. Missing numbers. Subtle errors in financial statements that she had been too distracted—too trusting—to question. And by the time she noticed, it had been too late. This time, she would not be late. A quiet knock broke her thoughts. “Miss Elaine,” a servant said, stepping in slightly. “Master Carter has called for you in his study.” Elaine’s eyes flickered. Already? That was earlier than

The Carter estate had learned how to pretend. After the tension in the study, everything returned—at least on the surface—to polished normalcy. Breakfasts were still served on time, business meetings continued, and Lily Carter resumed her role as the picture-perfect daughter. But perfection, Elaine knew, was often the most dangerous disguise. And today, that disguise would be tested. Elaine stood in front of her wardrobe, her fingers gliding over fabrics of silk and satin before settling on a soft gold dress. It was elegant without being loud—refined, controlled, intentional. Just like the game she was playing. Tonight, the Carter family would host a private dinner. Not just any dinner. Investors. Board members. People whose opinions could shift power in an instant. In her past life, this dinner had been the beginning of her public downfall. Lily had planted subtle seeds of doubt in front of influential guests—small remarks, carefully disguised as concern. By the end of th

Elaine Carter barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian Vale’s face beneath the storm-lit balcony—the calm intensity in his gaze, the way his voice wrapped around her name like he already knew far too much.You’re hiding something.The words lingered in her mind long after the rain stopped.By morning, the Carter estate had returned to its usual elegance, but Elaine felt strangely unsettled. That feeling irritated her more than she wanted to admit.She had returned to this life for one reason.Revenge.Not distractions.Certainly not a man with unreadable eyes and dangerous instincts.Still…Something about Adrian felt different from everyone else around her. Most people saw what they expected to see. A wealthy heiress. A composed daughter. A woman recovering from business tension within her family.But Adrian?He observed beneath appearances.And that made him unpredictable.Elaine stood near the window of her room, adjusting the cuff of her cream blouse when a sof

The scream shattered the night.Elaine Carter’s heartbeat lurched violently as another crashing sound echoed from inside the estate, followed by hurried footsteps and frightened voices.Rain poured relentlessly over the mansion grounds, thunder rolling across the sky like a warning.Adrian moved first.“Stay close to me,” he said sharply.Elaine almost argued out of instinct—until another scream cut through the air.This one sounded terrified.Not dramatic.Not startled.Terrified.And suddenly, even Elaine’s pride knew better than to protest.Together, they rushed back toward the estate.The grand doors were already open when they entered. Servants crowded the entrance hall in panic, whispering anxiously among themselves while security guards moved toward the eastern wing.“What happened?” Elaine demanded immediately.One of the maids looked pale. “Someone broke into your room, Miss Elaine.”Her blood ran cold.“What?”“They—we heard glass breaking,” the maid stammered. “When securit
