Introduction

After dying a terrible death, I was miraculously reborn into the first year of my marriage to Ethan.

This time, I vowed to atone for my past betrayal and cherish the man I had once inadvertently destroyed.

However, the Ethan I returned to was a cold stranger, his every public gesture reserved for his new companion, Bella Vance.

Then came the chilling call: Bella needed a kidney, and my own frail mother was the only match, a desperate demand he twisted into a threat against my family's livelihood.

My pleas to spare her were met with icy contempt, leaving me isolated while she was forced into surgery.

He openly paraded his devotion to Bella, publicly humiliated me, and subjected me to unimaginable physical torture, including a brutal "stress test" and frostbite, forcing me to confess to Bella's fabricated accusations.

Each act of cruelty, each dismissive gaze, twisted the knife deeper, making me question why the man who once died for me was now so intent on destroying me.

Broken but resolute, I plotted my escape, faking my own death to finally, irrevocably, be free of his suffocating control.
