“Fine,” I heard myself say, the word tasting like rust. “You want an open marriage? We’ll do open.” A slow smile curved his mouth—victory, not warmth. “Good girl. Then I suppose you won’t mind if I reintroduce Kisha.” The camera panned.

She waved, manicured nails glinting, belly softly rounded under a silk camisole. My world tilted.

Ich starb an dem Tag, an dem ich den „Distinguished Service Award“ des Rudels erhalten sollte. Drei Stunden nach meinem Tod machten meine Eltern, mein Bruder und mein Gefährte gerade den Abschluss der Abschlussfeier, die sie für meine Schwester ausgerichtet hatten. Während meine Schwester Ella ein gemütliches Familienfoto auf Instagram postete, war ich im Keller eingesperrt. Ich versuchte, mit der Zunge über mein Handy zu wischen, um Hilfe zu rufen. Der einzige Person, die antwortete, war mein Gefährte Ryan. Alles, was er sagte, war: „Sophie, hör auf mit dem Drama. Ellas Abschlussfeier ist wichtig. Jetzt reicht's aber mit dem Theater!“ Es war das neunundneunzigste Mal, dass sie mich im Stich ließen. Und das letzte. Ich lag in einer Lache meines eigenen Blutes, und meine Lungen waren reglos. Sie dachten, ich hätte einfach einen Wutanfall und hätte mich irgendwo versteckt, und dass ich schon zu ihnen zurückkriechen würde, wenn sie mich nur genug schmoren ließen. Aber sie wussten es nicht. Ich war die ganze Zeit zu Hause. Ich war bereits tot.

My husband's childhood sweetheart was diagnosed with a terminal illness. To fulfill her last wishes and let her experience the warmth of family, my husband, Aaron Turner, gave her my necklace. He even let her claim my birthday. Even our son started calling her "Mom" in private. He told me, "Chrishell, Sylvia is dying. Just give in to her, will you?" Whenever I asked him to spare even a little time and affection for me, our son, Lucas, would rush to speak on their behalf. "Mom, didn't you always teach me to be generous? Sylvia is dying. Why do you always make things difficult for her?" Over time, I stopped asking for anything at all. Then one night, I overheard my son speaking to his father after returning from the hospital. "Sylvia is so gentle and graceful. I wish Mom could be more like her." Aaron chuckled and affectionately brushed his hand over our son's hair. "Your mom may be a little strict, but it's all for your own good. Since you like Sylvia so much, how about we let her be your godmother?" So even the child I risked my life to bring into this world didn't like me. I lowered my gaze, quietly closed the bedroom door, and pretended none of it had happened. Since they were both filled with such regret, I'd leave quietly and give them what they wanted.

His hand clamped around my chin, rough and unrelenting, sending a sharp ache through my jaw.

My name is Daniella Limebear. In my past life, my long-lost younger sister, Heidi Limebear, returns home. On her very first day back, I hear the faint whispers of her heart: "At the riverside, I saw the other kids learning to swim with their dads… I wish I could join them." The next day, I drive Heidi to the clearest stretch of river in the countryside. I teach her to float and paddle, guiding her hands with mine. Without warning, she lets out a scream and disappears beneath the water. I plunge into the river, fighting against the current to reach her. Suddenly, she clutches my arm and pulls me under. With the last of my strength, I push her toward the shore. Water fills my lungs, and darkness swallows me. Amid the piercing wail of the ambulance siren, Heidi curls into our mother's arms, tears streaking her cheeks. Mom slaps me across the face. In Dad's eyes, there is only utter disappointment. "Heidi has already endured so much while she was gone for ten years! I can't believe you would try to drown her the moment she comes home!" he snaps. I stand frozen, unable to defend myself. Shortly after the incident, a group of troublemakers just outside the school gates corners Heidi. Once again, I "hear" her cries of despair echoing in my mind: "He said if I don't meet him tonight, he'll set our home on fire! Daniella, please save me! You're the only one who can." The moment I arrive at the scene, I'm immediately surrounded by a group of thugs. With cruel, mocking smiles, they close in from all sides. "Don't blame us. Your precious younger sister paid us five thousand dollars to kill you." "She claimed that once you're out of the picture, the billion‑dollar inheritance goes straight to her." Just as I begin to suffocate, I notice Heidi standing not far away. Her face remains perfectly calm and composed. When I open my eyes again, I realize I've returned to the day she was found and brought home. Once more, her inner voice echoes in my ears: "I really want to swim… I wish Daniella would take me."
