Chapter 1

1 I'm the daughter of a billionaire, back home to take over the family business.

But all it took was attending a single gala with my brother.

To be mistaken as a homewrecker by my brother's sickly girlfriend, Chloe Summers.

In my past life, she cut off my hands, then brought in thugs who tortured me for three days and nights.

""My boyfriend is a high-roller, not some trash you can climb! You belong in the gutter, you lowly bitch!""

Chloe's doctor begged my brother, Ethan Riley, to avenge me, but he remained indifferent.

""Even if she's my sister, if her death makes Chloe happy, then so be it.""

To cover up Chloe's crime, he even ran over the doctor who was trying to get justice for me right outside the police station.

I opened my eyes, and I was back at the moment Chloe was about to sever my hands.

This time, I hung up on Ethan's call and immediately called my dad.

""Dad, tell every hospital under our name not to treat Chloe Summers.""

""Also, revoke my brother's inheritance rights and kick him out.""

Let's see who ends up in the gutter this time.

......

""While I was recovering, you seduced my boyfriend, Lily Miller! You're such a bitch!""

""You love holding other men's hands, don't you? Let's see if you can still do that after I ruin them!""

With that familiar voice, I felt something sharp pierce my wrist.

The intense pain jolted me awake.

Opening my eyes, I saw Chloe Summers, grinning, twisting a scalpel in my wrist.

Recognizing this scene, I knew I'd been reborn.

Reborn to the day Chloe kidnapped me to an abandoned factory to cut off my hands.

Through my hair, I heard Ethan's cold voice through my Bluetooth earpiece.

""Stop faking it, Lily. Chloe is too frail to kidnap you.""

""Even if you're jealous of Chloe, don't use such underhanded tactics to frame her. She's my future wife. It's not worth dirtying your hands for you, understand?""

Feeling my right hand going numb.

I closed my eyes, without saying a word to Ethan for help.

In my past life, I desperately explained to Ethan that I wasn't jealous of Chloe, begging him to save me.

But Ethan coldly refused, and Chloe noticed my strange behavior.

My hidden phone was smashed, cutting off my only hope of rescue.

Chloe pulled the knife from my wrist and slapped me across the face.

""Bitch, still acting? Let's see how long you can keep it up!""

After the slap, half my face felt numb.

Warm liquid flowed down my face; I was sure I was disfigured.

Chloe, pleased with my sorry state, turned to leave.

But I knew this wasn't the end; she was going to bring in those demons from my past life again.

Watching Chloe disappear, I struggled to bite through the ropes on my wrists.

Pulling out the hidden phone, I hung up on Ethan and called my dad.

As soon as I connected, I heard Chloe scream.

""Lily Miller, what are you doing?!""

My heart pounded. I instinctively tried to run, but the phone connected at that moment.

Seeing Chloe approaching with three menacing thugs, the memories of my past life flooded back.

I froze, using my last bit of strength to say into the phone,

""Dad, help me.""

The next second, Chloe was in front of me, smashing the phone to the ground.

But this time, I wasn't worried. I knew my dad would come.

I'm the only daughter of the Riley family, the wealthiest family in the country. I was the child his beloved wife died giving birth to.

I've always been under tight protection. Anyone who dared to harm me paid a heavy price.

If my dad knew I was hurt like this, he'd go crazy and make those who dared to hurt me pay a thousandfold.

Chloe shoved me to the ground, grinding her shoe into my wounds.

Pointing to the three thugs, she snarled,

""I knew you wouldn't be honest. Three guys weren't enough, you filthy whore! You deserve a thousand men!""

At Chloe's signal, the three thugs grinned and advanced.

I closed my eyes, tears streaming down my face.

Then, I heard fighting.

I opened my eyes to see Sam Wilson, the doctor who tried to help me last time and was killed by Ethan.
