Ashley Richards was betrayed by the people meant to protect her. By a sister who smiled while destroying her. By a family that chose comfort over truth. By the man she loved, who didn't believe her when it mattered most. She lost everything. Her freedom. Her body. Her future. Then she was reborn. Eighteen again. Back in the house that never loved her. Back with the sister who ruined her. Back with a mother who never loved her. Back with the father who chose comfort over truth. Reborn into the same life, Ashley refuses to play the obedient daughter again. This time, she watches. She remembers. She plans.

Ellie spent years rebuilding her life after public humiliation, loss, and betrayal at the hands of Renzo Bellavere - the golden boy who destroyed her family and never looked back. Now fate has bound them together. In a world where mates are sacred and refusal is taboo, Ellie must navigate a bond she never consented to, a society that demands compliance, and a man who believes destiny absolves everything he's done. This is not a story about instant forgiveness. It's about autonomy. About survival. And about what it takes to reclaim yourself when even fate is against you.
