She is completely invisible, trapped in a silent purgatory where no one realizes she has died.

Chapter 2

: I Died

2

I died of cardiac arrest, right in the apartment I had only recently started renting.

Simon Sutton and I had been fighting frequently these past few days.

The cause was Linnet Ashwood, the one person who made me feel most insecure about our love.

I had been in love with Simon Sutton for six years.

Likewise, Simon Sutton had secretly loved Linnet Ashwood for six years.

She was his old flame, and I...

...was perhaps just a pathetic clown in their eyes.

After graduating, Linnet Ashwood quickly found and married a rich, divorced, middle-aged man.

The two of them moved abroad to live, but this year, her husband suddenly fell ill and passed away.

Linnet Ashwood didn't even have time to have a single child.

All the assets were divided up among the man's children, and Linnet Ashwood didn't get a single penny.

When she came back, the first person she ran to was Simon Sutton.

"You should know full well what Linnet Ashwood is really after."

"I refuse to let you bring her home to live with us."

This led to a huge fight with Simon Sutton. "I've explained it a million times," he said. "I don't have feelings for her anymore."

"An old classmate has fallen on hard times. Can you really just stand by and not help?"

The argument ended with me slamming the door and storming out.

It was the first time Simon Sutton and I had ever fought in all the time we'd been together.

After Linnet Ashwood left to get married, Simon Sutton had been depressed for two months.

It must have been my meticulous care for him during those two months that finally won him over.

Perhaps to Simon Sutton, I was just the most suitable woman to marry.

Since he had already lost his greatest love, it no longer mattered who he married.

That night, after I left, Simon Sutton—a man who never lifted a finger around the house—actually went to heat up milk for Linnet Ashwood.

I watched him burn himself, a blister immediately swelling on his skin.

My first instinct was to go get the first-aid kit.

But when I saw Linnet Ashwood blush and take Simon Sutton's finger into her mouth, I suddenly laughed.

Right.

I'm dead.

The stumbling block keeping them from being a perfect couple was gone.

No one could even hear a single word of my heart-wrenching accusations that Linnet Ashwood was a homewrecker.

Reborn To Ruin: The Jilted Heiress's Revenge
I lay on a mildewed mattress in a run-down motel, my body trembling from withdrawal. Once the most feared "Gossip Queen" in Hollywood, I was now a forty-three-year-old ghost staring at a cracked mirror, waiting for the end. The door clicked open, and Brittany Potts stepped in, looking immaculate in a beige trench coat that cost more than my life. She didn't come to help; she tossed a waiver of marital assets onto my bed and handed me a cup of coffee laced with something that smelled like bitter almonds. She laughed, telling me my husband, Bennet, was already in the Bahamas celebrating my death. I froze when I saw the sapphire pendant around her neck—my mother’s necklace, which had vanished the day she died. As the poison began to burn through my chest, Brittany leaned in and whispered her final secret: she was the one who cut the brake lines on the car that killed my father when we were teenagers. My entire life had been a lie. The pills, the scandal, the bankruptcy—it was all a masterpiece of betrayal orchestrated by the two people I trusted most. I died on that filthy floor, suffocating on my own rage and the taste of chemicals, praying for a single chance to make them pay. But when I opened my eyes, the pain was gone. I was sitting in my old bedroom, the morning sun shining on a calendar that read September 15, 2024. My mother’s voice, warm and alive, called me for breakfast from downstairs. I was eighteen again, back in my senior year at Crestview Academy, and the monsters who destroyed me were still pretending to be my friends. This time, I’m the one who holds the shears.
