In her previous life, she was betrayed by her parents and brother, taking the fall for an impostor's crime. Tortured in prison while the impostor lived in luxury, she died with hatred in her heart-only to awaken at the start of her sentence. This time, innocence abandoned, she mastered finance, combat, and power behind bars. Three years later, she emerged as a force in business. Her revenge set in motion, a ruthless tycoon appeared. He cornered her against the wall, his fingers tracing her neck as his voice dropped to a low, dangerous whisper. "Let me join your quest for revenge."

Chapter 1 A Second Chance

All right, Aimee Bennett-your sentence ends today. Someone came to take you out of here.

The officer's icy announcement rolled through the visitation room while Aimee hovered over her final release form. Her pen stalled mid-stroke, a dark bead of ink sinking into the page.

Lifting her head with a stiff, weary motion, she caught sight of the man waiting beyond the iron bars-Laurence Bennett, the Bennett family's polished second son, her so-called brother by blood.

Mom and Dad insisted I come here to bring you home. His tailored suit sat flawlessly on his broad frame, and the gleam of his high-end watch flickered under the harsh ceiling lights. "These three years must have been rough. We'll make it up to you."

Make it up to her? The thought tugged a dry, humorless scoff from her chest. That honeyed promise-she'd heard it once before, in her previous life.

She was the real daughter of the Bennett family, but a nurse had accidentally placed another newborn girl in the bed with her name on it, leading that girl to live her life.

When that girl, Rylie Bennett, was facing prison time, the Bennett family sought her out, acknowledged her as the true Bennett daughter and Rylie's sister, and then lured her into taking the sentence in Rylie's place.

Those brutal years crawled by, and when the cell door finally opened, no one from the Bennett family bothered to show up. Thugs hired by Rylie cornered her on the roadside and tortured her to death like she was nothing.

In the aftermath, the Bennett family erased her from their family tree with frightening speed, refusing even to retrieve her ashes.

Bitterness gnawed at her.

Her spirit drifted for what felt like an eternity, fueled by a hatred so sharp it kept her tethered to the world.

Only then did she uncover the truth that cut deeper than any betrayal-her swapped life had been the Bennett family's doing.

Years ago, a so-called fortune teller declared she would doom the Bennett family, and her biological parents deliberately traded her for Rylie, abandoning her to grow up in a remote village with strangers.

That festering resentment had dragged on for so many lonely years that it clawed open a second chance, hurling her back into the third year of her sentence.

Armed with the memories of her past life, she had quietly joined forces with Andreas Reid, a powerful business magnate whose influence smoothed the path to her early release.

Back to the present-she set the pen aside, her tone disturbingly steady. "Three years ago, when you dragged me back into the Bennett family, you fed me the same promise-that you'd make it up to me."

Her gaze lifted, flat and cold. "And what did I get in return? I took Rylie's place in that commercial fraud case and spent three years being beaten down inside those walls."

A shadow of irritation darkened Laurence's expression. "Things were complicated back then. Rylie's health was fragile... she never would've survived prison. As her sister, you should..."

So she was expected to sacrifice herself for that impostor?

A chilly laugh slipped from Aimee before she could stop it. "Laurence, did the entire Bennett family lose their minds? You're really choosing an outsider over your own blood?"

Laurence shot to his feet, palm slamming against the table. "Watch your fucking mouth, Aimee! Did you forget what basic manners are? Who gave you the damn right to talk about Rylie that way?"

Manners? Aimee let out a low, contemptuous chuckle. She'd been tossed aside by her own parents and raised on the pity of strangers-where exactly was she supposed to have learned these refined "manners" he liked to preach about?

She refused to waste another breath on him. Scooping up her few belongings-a worn canvas bag with frayed straps-she strode toward the door without looking back.

Laurence's voice erupted behind her. "Hold it right there! If you walk away from the Bennett family now, where the hell do you think you're going?"

She didn't bother turning around. "Somewhere I actually belong," she muttered, her voice low and edged with finality.

Warm light spilled over her as she pushed through the prison gates, making her eyes sting. Three years locked away from the sun had nearly erased the memory of how gentle its heat could feel on her skin.

While she lingered by the gate, a sleek black Maybach eased to the curb, its tinted window gliding down to reveal a man she didn't recognize.

Miss Bennett, I'm here on Mr. Reid's orders to pick you up, the driver informed, his tone steady and deferential as he stepped out to open the door.

Aimee dipped her chin in acknowledgment and slid into the plush interior without a flicker of doubt.

From the rearview mirror, she caught sight of Laurence bursting out of the prison gates, frozen in stunned disbelief as the multimillion-dollar luxury car carried her away.
