Before I could respond, a sharp pain shot through my head, and everything went black.

When I woke up, I was tied to a chair. The surroundings were dim and suffocating, filled with a chemical stench that made me gag.

At that moment, a graceful woman walked in.

When I saw her face, I froze.

It was Diana Lockwood. Her face now bore an uncanny resemblance to Naomi.

Diana was the Lockwood family's adopted daughter, Jared's sister in name.

"Winter, do you realize what you've done wrong?" she asked, her tone mocking.

I blinked, stunned, before shaking my head. "No! I didn't do anything wrong. I accidentally broke his glass. That's all. I didn't know…"

Desperately, I asked with a hint of flattery, "Diana, please. Can you get me out of here? I don't want to stay here. I—"

Diana burst into laughter, cutting me off. Her eyes brimmed with disdain as she looked at me.

"Winter, you're so adorably naïve. I worked so hard to get Jared to send you here. Do you really think I'd let you go that easily?"

Her words left me bewildered.

Diana had always been kind to me. I couldn't believe her words.

"Winter," she continued, "someone like you, born into nothing, doesn't deserve Jared. Your biggest mistake wasn't breaking that glass. It was daring to love Jared.

"I've stood by his side for so long. He should have been mine. If it weren't for you, we would've been together ages ago. But it doesn't matter. It's not too late. Jared finally sees who truly deserves him. It's me!"

Diana had always been unusually attentive to Jared, but I had chalked it up to sibling affection. Never had I imagined her feelings for him were way more than that.

"Oh, and by the way, Jared told me to take good care of you. He wants you to properly atone to Naomi."

With that, Dianna pressed a button on the remote in her hand and smugly said, "Let's see how long you can last."

The next moment, an intense current surged through the chair, jolting through my body. My limbs went numb, and a sharp, searing pain radiated through me.

Diana seemed unsatisfied with my reaction and increased the intensity of the electric shock.

My body convulsed uncontrollably. The pain pushed me to the edge of consciousness.

The shocks grew stronger, layer upon layer, until my back felt like it was being burned.

My mind began to slip away, fading into darkness.

Just then, Diana stopped.

But as my awareness slowly returned, she pressed the button again.

The renewed agony ripped a scream from my throat.

She toyed with me, keeping me trapped between the brink of unconsciousness and the harsh pull of awareness.

After nearly an hour of torment, she repeated the same question as before. "Winter, do you realize what you've done wrong?"

I knew she wasn't just asking about the broken glass. She wanted me to admit that loving Jared had been a mistake.

But neither of those felt like a crime to me.

I slowly forced the words out, "I… did… nothing… wrong."

Reborn Heiress: Revenge On My Ruthless Ex

7.2

I was dying in a rusted warehouse, paralyzed in a wheelchair while the man I loved and my own stepsister watched with smiles on their faces. The air smelled of old oil and damp concrete, and my vision was fading into a milky haze. Dillon, the man I’d sacrificed everything for, smoothed his custom suit and pulled out a syringe filled with a clear, lethal neurotoxin. Beside him, my stepsister Bianca toyed with my mother’s sapphire ring—the one they’d just pried off my hand while I was too weak to even make a fist. She leaned in and whispered that my father’s trust fund was already offshore and that they’d sent my husband, Kade, to the wrong coordinates to ensure he’d only find my corpse. Dillon slid the needle into my vein with the chilling efficiency of a man who had done this before. "This will stop your heart in thirty seconds," he said, sounding as bored as if he were explaining a tax form. Ice flooded my chest, and my lungs seized, fighting for oxygen that wasn't there. As the warehouse lights blurred into white streaks, an explosion echoed in the distance. Kade had come for me, but he was too late. I died staring at the ceiling, my heart giving one last violent kick of pure, unadulterated hatred. I had been such a fool, believing Dillon’s lies and running away from the only man who actually cared for me. I died with a single thought: if I ever get another chance, I will drag you both to hell with me. Then, there was nothing. And then, there was air. I sat up gasping, my silk pajamas drenched in cold sweat. The rusted beams were gone, replaced by a vaulted ceiling and the glittering Manhattan skyline. I grabbed the digital clock on the nightstand—it was five years ago, the exact night I first tried to run away with Dillon. The bedroom door slammed against the wall, and Kade Mullen stood in the doorway, looking dangerous, furious, and very much alive. I looked at my shaking hands, then at the man I had once hated. This time, I wasn't going to run. I was going to make sure Dillon and Bianca lost everything.
