The Heart They Stole: Rebirth of the Scapegoat Bride
In her first life, Elara Silas was a phantom in her own home. Branded a thief for surviving the kidnapping that took her twin sister, Elena, she spent twenty-three years as a living organ bank. When Elena miraculously returned, the family’s cruelty peaked; they demanded Elara’s heart to save their precious heir, Leo. Elara died on a cold operating table, watching her husband, John Grant, look on with a face of stone.
But death was only a doorway.
Elara wakes up on June 14th… the day of Elena’s return. This time, the obedient dog is gone. Armed with the memories of every betrayal, Elara begins a cold-blooded chess match against her family. She recognizes Elena’s survivor’s soup for what it truly is: a slow-acting toxin designed to make Leo sick enough to justify harvesting Elara’s organs. From scalding dinner table confrontations to sabotaging medical records, Elara is no longer running from the knife… she is the one sharpening it.
However, she isn't the only ghost in the room. John Grant, the powerful CEO who was assassinated in the previous timeline after failing to save her, has also been reborn. Initially haunted by the belief that his presence caused her death, he tried to stay away, only to realize that without him, she would be slaughtered again.
Now, the Scapegoat Bride and the Regretful Predator form a lethal alliance. As they peel back the layers of the Silas family’s rot, they discover a shocking truth: Leo isn't a biological Silas, and the kidnapping seventeen years ago was a far darker conspiracy than Elara ever imagined. Together, they will rewrite their fate, ensuring that this time, it is the Silas family who pays the ultimate price… heart and soul.
