As her ears started ringing, the lump in her throat growing, the words he spoke faded into the background. Her eyes welled up, and her breath hitched, she had heard him right? “Earth to Rebecca, hello?!” He replied to her in an annoyed tone. She took a deep breath, “After 20 yrs you really don’t want a life with me” she managed to speak slightly above a whisper. She had been his rock, put his needs first, never said no to his frivolous spending, and had loved him enough for the both of them; yet in the small bedroom in their city apartment he stood with divorce papers in hand. She hadn’t been naive about the rough patch that they were navigating, but they had always worked past because Rebecca had always put her husband 1st. “Rebecca I don’t love you and no level of your love is going to undo these divorce papers. I can’t even stand to be in this room with you, but I want to be on a united front when we tell the kids.”

I signed the divorce papers on a Tuesday. No tears. No phone calls. No begging. I just picked up the pen, signed my name, and let Dominic Hartley go. For four years, I tried to be everything a good wife should be. I put my career on hold. I pushed my dreams aside. I made myself smaller so he could feel bigger. And somehow, it still wasn’t enough. He looked through me like I wasn’t really there. I loved him quietly while he built his empire, not realizing he was slowly tearing mine down. When he filed for divorce, I think he expected me to fall apart. I didn’t. I started over. A new apartment. A new job. A version of myself I hadn’t seen in a long time. And for the first time in years, I felt like me again. While he stayed in his perfect penthouse, surrounded by everything money could buy and nothing that felt real, I was finally learning how to be happy. That’s when he noticed me. Of course. Too late. Now Dominic Hartley, the man who never had to chase anything, is chasing me. Calling. Showing up. Saying all the things I used to beg to hear. But I’m not that woman anymore. And I’ve learned what he hasn’t. Love isn’t enough to go back to something that broke you. He wants another chance. I just don’t know if he’s really changed… or if I’m the one thing he can’t get back.

Calista Winslow died at the hands of the two people she trusted most—her husband, and her twin sister. But death wasn’t the end. She wakes up four years in the past, with every betrayal carved into her memory and one burning goal in her heart— Revenge. This time, she won’t be the obedient wife or the forgotten daughter. This time, she’ll be the one who destroys everything. Her first move? Divorcing her husband before he can destroy her, and turning to the one man powerful enough to stand against him. Atlas Kane. Dangerous, calculated, and unforgiving, Calista knew he was never meant to be more than a weapon. But some things don’t stay buried—not the past… and not the feelings she thought were long gone. Because just like fate can give a second chance at life, maybe, just maybe, love can burn from its embers too. And while Calista is certain of the betrayal that killed her, there is one truth she cannot fully remember— the night her father died. The past her family blames her for. A memory that refuses to stay whole. But the closer she gets to revenge, the clearer it becomes— some truths were never meant to stay hidden. And in this lifetime, losing her heart might be just as dangerous as losing her life.
