The day Deralie Sanchez discovered Zero Ryle Sandoval's betrayal, she wasn't hurt - she breathed a sigh of relief instead. For the first time, she chose to put herself first. A night filled with booze, music, and reckless decisions led her into the arms of a stranger she shouldn't have met... and definitely shouldn't have fallen for.

I wasn't reincarnated as the heroine. I wasn't even reborn as the villainess. I woke up as the girl who always stood behind her. Elara Viremont- a side character whose only purpose was to agree, assist, and disappear. But I know this story. I know who betrays whom. I know who survives. And I know exactly how we die. So no, I won't help the villainess bully the heroine. I won't push her toward ruin. And I definitely won't follow a plot written to erase me. If this story wants blood, it will have to rewrite itself first.
