Her Smile, My Burning Hell

The new penthouse apartment, meant to be a monument to our future, felt like a tomb.

In my hand, a medical report confirmed my fiancée Chloe' s secret lover, Liam O' Connell, was dying from a highly contagious, deadly illness.

A brutal memory tore through me: In my last life, my fury over this same betrayal led to Liam's accidental death. Chloe, consumed by grief, retaliated by orchestrating a fiery car crash that killed my parents and me.

I still smelled the gasoline, heard my mother' s screams, watched her smiling face as we burned.
