Chapter 1Taking Out the Trash

"Thud—"

I hit the ground hard after falling from the rooftop. Falling right alongside me was the husband who tricked me, ruined me, and wanted me dead.

I thought dying together was the end for us.

I never expected that when I opened my eyes again, I'd been reborn. And so had he!

I was standing on the edge of the rooftop. The wind whipped around me.

Below me, a dizzying drop. Behind me, Mark’s hand rested on my shoulder.

He said, "Piper, didn't you say you loved me? If you love me, you should just jump. Save me the trouble, right?"

Every word out of his mouth made me sicker.

God, I was so stupid. Fooled by the sweet nothings whispered by the devil behind me. He stole my family's company, got my parents killed, and still, it wasn't enough. He wanted my life too!

Absolutely not!!!

I turned my head, my smile dripping with sarcasm. "Mark, can't even bring yourself to do the killing? I finally see it. You're just a coward, pathetic as dirt!"

Instantly, his eyes blazed with hatred.

The second he lost his cool, unable to think straight, I grabbed the hand he used to push me.

And dragged him down to hell with me!

As Mark screamed, a triumphant smile spread across my face. I felt my body plummet, the wind slicing past my cheeks like knives.

"CRUNCH—"

In the last moment of my life, I even heard the sound of my own bones shattering.

Damn, that hurt!

But thinking about the bastard lying dead next to me? That felt good.
