Ma sœur aînée, qui avait toujours détesté les études, a soudain déclaré vouloir passer l'examen d'entrée à l'université. Elle est même allée jusqu'à demander à nos parents de me marier avec le fils d'un haut gradé, afin d'obtenir l'argent pour financer sa scolarité. À ce moment-là, j'ai compris qu'elle aussi s'était réincarnée. Dans ma vie précédente, elle avait toujours pensé que les études ne servaient à rien. À peine diplômée du lycée, elle s'est mariée avec le fils d'un chef militaire venu avec le don généreux. Mais plus tard, lorsque Cédric Blanc a été muté dans une région reculée, elle a trouvé l'environnement trop rude et a refusé de le suivre. De mon côté, je travaillais pour financer mes études, j'ai obtenu mon diplôme et j'ai décroché un emploi stable dans la fonction publique : je suis devenue une véritable citadine au sens plein du terme. Pendant ce temps, ma sœur, installée dans la zone militaire, profitait de l'autorité de son beau-père pour toucher des pots-de-vin. Cette conduite a entraîné une enquête des supérieurs, qui a fait tomber son beau-père de son poste. Elle a finalement été chassée par sa belle-mère. Divorcée, elle a ensuite été dupée et entraînée à Paris pour spéculer en bourse. Quand le marché s'est effondré, elle a perdu non seulement tout, mais aussi les économies de retraite de nos parents. À bout de ressources, elle s'est accrochée à moi. Un jour, armée d'un couteau, elle m'a contrainte à lui remettre toutes mes économies et ma maison pour « relancer sa vie ». Dans la lutte, elle m'a poignardée douze fois. Je suis morte, vidée de mon sang. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, ma sœur exigeait de nos parents qu'ils me marient à Cédric. Cette fois-ci, j'ai accepté avec joie — et j'ai abandonné mes études sur-le-champ.

Fresh out of college, Clara Stewart asked me to take on a $500,000 mortgage for her. When I refused, she turned around and bought an $800,000 villa in full, for another guy. Holding up the property deed, she told me: "Jayden, the truth is, I'm actually rich. I've been pretending to be poor to test you. Unfortunately, you failed. I'm disappointed in you. Let's break up." I simply smiled and walked away without a second thought. The irony? I'm the son of the richest man in the country. I was pretending to be broke, too. Fast forward four years, we met again at the National Wealth Summit. Clara had just barely made it into the top 50 on the list, clinging to the arm of Henry Brown as they entered. She spotted me in simple clothes with no visible brand, holding a child in one arm and the keys to a Porsche Cayenne in the other. Thinking I was someone's driver, she sneered: "Jayden, you really went all out just to see me again? Let's be real, you're just a driver now, and I'm on the wealth list. We live in completely different worlds. Don't waste your time fantasizing." I did not bother replying. Honestly, I was only there because my billionaire dad insisted. I had finally cleared a day to spend with my son and now I had to waste it on that.

My blood ran cold. Not just because of the words, they’d done worse than the scheme. They mocked me. Rewrote my pain as a punchline. Danced on the grave of my dignity like it was confetti. I staggered back from the door, suddenly aware of how my hands were trembling. Of how my chest rose and fell like I was still being dragged underwater. I could still feel it, the betrayal. The nights I cried myself sick. The baby. The blood. The gaslighting. The cold stares. The silence. No, this wasn’t just a memory. It was a resurrection. I pressed my hand to my chest, grounding myself. This body? This moment? It was mine now. Not theirs. Not his. If this was a curse, I’d break it. If this was a second chance? I’d weaponize it. Let them laugh. Let them bask in their borrowed joy. Because from this moment on, I’m not playing the quiet, obedient pawn. I’m the storm they tried to silence. The reckoning wrapped in silk and scars. They don’t deserve peace. Not after what they did to me. I’ll make them feel it. The same agony, the same betrayal. No, worse. Double. And the Kensingtons? Oh, they won’t be spared either. Their blood's just as soaked in my suffering. I lived by their rules in my last life. In this one? They live by mine. And mercy? Yeah, I left that behind in the last timeline.

Except he’s looking at me like I’m the only person in the room, and I’m starting to forget the word “pretend.”
