When the Heart Remembers
My twin sister, Audrey Goodwin, was obsessed with romance novels about rich heirs. All she wanted was to marry into money and live like some perfect socialite.
She set her sights on the silver-spoon scion in Jezelton, Michael Strickland, who'd been blind after a car accident. Audrey got close by becoming his private nurse.
But she got tired of the work really quickly. So, she asked me to cover for her.
When Michael finally got his eyesight back and held a huge celebration, Audrey decided to drug him so she could slide right into the role of Mrs. Strickland.
I didn't stop her this time. I even went as far as booking her a luxury suite so she could carry out her plan.
In my last life, I had begged Audrey not to go through with it. I told her romance novels weren't real life, and guys like Michael were way too powerful to mess with. She had actually listened and canceled the plan.
But a little while later, the news broke: Michael secretly got married. It turned out that he'd been with someone else that very night. Just like that, Audrey's big fantasy was gone.
She blamed me for ruining her "dream". My parents blamed me as well; they beat me and yelled at me, saying Audrey couldn't marry Michael now because of me.
One night, Audrey snapped. She came into my room with a hammer and beat me to death.
Now, I had been given another chance. I woke up right on the night of Michael's recovery party.
