Everyone in Vallermoore knew I was Cole Mitchell and Finn Archer's most treasured princess. At 12, Cole saved me from my abusive dad's grip and gave me a second shot at life. He vowed to protect me always. At 13, Finn rented out an entire amusement park for my birthday and whispered that guarding my smile was his mission for life. Now I was 23, and they locked me in a pitch-black, freezing attic for three winter days. As I slowly lost consciousness, they were busy fawning over Zoey Hart, their long-lost childhood friend. "Everything you have is mine, so it's time to give it back." After hearing what Zoey said, I left without making a scene or shedding a single tear. However, for years after, they tore the city apart and tried to find me like mad.

On the first day, I tricked my wife into signing the cremation papers. On the second day, I went to my son's school and collected the textbooks he never had the chance to use. On the third day, I prepared a table full of his favorite dishes and begged my wife to come home so we could celebrate his birthday one last time. She agreed. Then she turned around, claimed she had a mission, and spent the entire night setting off fireworks with her childhood sweetheart. That night, I sat beside my son's memorial photo and ate alone. The next day, she came home looking guilty and handed me a brand new backpack. She said it was a gift for our son to use at school. She did not know that our child would never live to see his first day of school.

Le jour où mes parents avaient divorcé, la pluie tombait à verse. Sur la table, il y avait deux accords. L'un disait qu'on resterait dans le vieux quartier avec notre père, endetté à cause de son addiction au jeu. L'autre disait qu'on partirait vers la côte avec notre mère qui allait se remarier avec un riche homme d'affaires. Dans ma vie précédente, ma sœur pleurait et insistait pour suivre notre mère, tandis que j'avais préparé mes bagages en silence et j'avais suivi notre père. Plus tard, papa avait arrêté de jouer, il était devenu riche grâce aux démolitions et il m'avait comblée de soins et d'affection. Mais chez son beau-père, ma sœur subissait une froide indifférence et on ne la laissait pas sortir. Elle avait fini par mourir de dépression. Cette fois, quand tout a recommencé, ma sœur a arraché la cigarette de la main de papa et s'est accrochée à lui sans le lâcher. « Clara, j'ai pitié de papa. Toi, va avec maman profiter d'une belle vie. Je te laisse les bons jours. » Papa est resté un instant stupéfait, puis il a caressé la tête de ma sœur avec soulagement. Je n'ai rien dit et j'ai pris le billet pour la côte. Mais elle ne savait pas que, dans ma vie précédente, mon père avait réussi à arrêter de jouer parce que moi, atteinte d'une tumeur au cerveau, j'avais travaillé pour rembourser ses dettes jusqu'à cracher du sang, et j'avais presque donné ma vie pour le ramener sur le droit chemin.
