Chapter 1
In my past life, I was the fake daughter the Hendersons accidentally took home
My guy? A war orphan nobody wanted.
We had each other’s backs through thick and thin.
I helped him climb to the top- he became this big shot leader, I became his trophy wife.
We died old and gray.
Then boom- we’re both reborn.
1 thought we’d pick up where we left off.
Boy, was I wrong.
First thing this asshole does? Switches me back with the real Henderson daughter.
Turns out he’s been carrying a torch for his precious Luna this whole time.
He glares at baby me with pure hate:
“Last life, you stole Luna’s place, ruined her life, and buried my real love.”
“God, I wanted to kill you so many times. But you were still my wife.”
“This time? Let’s never see each other again.”
You know what? Thank God for that.
Finally, I don’t have to keep torturing myself with the Hendersons for some two–faced bastard who never loved me anyway.
This life? Screw helping him. I’m becoming an astronaut.
The maternity ward reeks of disinfectant.
Babies screaming everywhere, I lie helpless as a careless nurse messes up the ankle tags.
Reborn but powerless.
All I can manage is a scrunched face and pathetic whimper that vanishes in the chaos.
Then, once the nurse leaves, a kid–maybe seven or eight–slips in like a ghost.
My tiny feet kick wildly when I recognize him.
Kellan. My husband. Fifty years of marriage in our past life.
What the hell is he doing here?
He scans the row of bassinets until stopping at mine.
Then swaps my ankle bracelet with the one beside me.
Happiness bubbles up a toothless, gummy smile spreads across my face.
I’d told him so many times–if we could start over, I’d want my real parents, not waste my life with the Hendersons who never wanted me.
He remembered,

Chapter 1
He was reborn too!
He came to fix my life!
But before that warmth settles–his clear eyes flash blood–red.
An invisible force crushes my chest. Can’t breathe.
My infant brain shorts out, soul nearly ripping from my body.
Then, release.
I gasp desperately, shrieking in pure terror.
Kellan…just tried to kill me.
WHY?
He glares at baby me with pure hate:
“Last life, you stole Luna’s place, ruined her life, and buried my real love.”
“God, I wanted to kill you so many times. But
you were still
my
wife.”
“This time? Let’s never see each other again.”
I freeze.
Those fifty years of marriage? A living hell for him.
His heart always belonged to someone else–the girl whose life was swapped with mine.
