Veil tried to draw her weapon, but Grant crashed through the wall and tackled her into the ice. It was chaos. Electric. Violent. Final. Daniel broke free, racing toward the console. Aria followed. “No more games, Daniel!” she shouted. “This ends here!” Daniel turned to face her, breathing hard. “You think you’ve won?” She aimed. “I know I have.” The shot rang out. He dropped.

he said, and Cecilia tried not to look too disappointed. "No. I know you can revive someone, though. And that's what I'm most interested in. If I'm wrong, I want a do-over." she said, and Death arched an eyebrow. "For that to work, you'd have to lose your own life." he said, and Cecilia waved off that worry. "Let me handle that. Do we have a deal?" she asked, holding out her hand. "I'll accept the deal if you agree that when I bring you back, I get to choose the time frame. And you'll go on from there." he said, reaching for her hand.

To win votes for the school's annual honors award, my stingy roommate picked rotten fruit out of the trash and made it into fruit cups for our classmates. The moment I found out, I rushed to stop them from eating it. Instead, they accused me of being jealous and tore into me for trying to ruin their chances. That very night, they were rushed to the hospital with severe food poisoning. Afterward, my roommate framed me, claiming I had deliberately poisoned the fruit because I did not want her to win the school honors award. She even hid a bottle of pesticide in my locker and convinced our other two roommates to lie for her. With no way to prove my innocence, I became the target of furious

“Drop it.” Lori’s grin softened into something faintly sad. “I would - if I didn’t think you were walking into something you can’t walk out of. Just… be careful because I'm not sure this story ends with you winning.” Her words struck deeper than he wanted them to. He didn’t answer, only fixed his eyes on the minister’s droning voice as if repetition could erase thought. But no number of trade disputes could quiet the storm inside him. Across the aisle, Leo endured his own silent battle.

I pulled out my phone to snap a cute pic of them, but then—breaking news. Cassie had tracked Luke down. Scissors in hand, demanding he marry her. He said no. They fought on the stairs. Both fell. Cassie died instantly—stabbed by her own blade. Luke survived, but barely. Now he's in a vegetative state. The headline sent a chill through me. They destroyed each other. Me? I was swimming in love—and more money than I could ever spend. I'd never been happier.

It was only after I was truly dead that everyone around me unraveled into madness. … I was told by the doctor that I had, at most, a week left to live. I held onto my diagnosis and spent all day trudging through the rain. I was consumed by thoughts of how I would tell my family and Henry, and what I would say to them as a final farewell. Walking aimlessly, I eventually found myself at Serenity Orphanage. I had been financially supporting Lillian Lowe, a girl who lived there, for three years. Though we weren't related by blood, the years we shared made me long to see Lillian once more before my end.

“That’s because I’ve been reborn, too. You and Cassie killed me in the previous life, and this time, you’re both paying for it.” “What? So it was all you? I’m going to kill you!” Cole screamed hysterically through the prison bars, but it was useless. Not long after I left, he broke down and smashed his head against the wall, ending his own life. With his death, my nightmare from the previous life finally came to an end. From that point on, every day was a new beginning. [The End]

"As for Noel, a woman I really hate to the core, I constantly think about how I can tarnish her reputation and make her wish she were dead. Now, I don't even need to do that because you helped me exact revenge. You've taken so many indecent videos of Noel and she would be brought to justice under the law given the dirty business she collided with the Stuarts on. There's no future to speak of for her." "Since everyone that I want to take revenge on has received their just deserts, there's nothing more I pursue in this life. At most, I want to respect my mom's dying wish of living well. I never expected to meet you and have Dicky in my life in my life of misfortune, and that alone is enough to

I asked, "Have you heard of people biting the hand that feeds them? Do you think I'll save you a second time after being bitten once?" She stared at me in horror, like I was a monster. "You've been lying to me this whole time!" I smiled and said, "Congratulations on guessing correctly! You love lying to people, so it's time for you to get a taste of your own medicine. Isn't it nice?" Wanda screamed in rage. Then, she choked to death as blood gurgled in her throat. She stared at me in horror and disbelief as she died. I'd had the same look on my face when dying in my past life. Now, I'd gotten back at her for everything she did to me. She'd repaid the debt she owed me.

"If you want to live, get out." "Look at that. The watchdog the Lombardi family threw away still has teeth." Scarface drew his gun as well, grinning with open contempt. "Once you left the Lombardis, you became nothing. Today, I settle the score." The others raised their guns and moved toward Demira with ugly smiles. Demira went pale and scrambled behind Victor. "Victor, I'm scared!" Victor's heart dropped. His finger tightened on the trigger. A gunshot cracked through the room.
