A Perfect Revenge for the Worst Family
Part 1: The Beginning of a Second Chance
The grand hall of the Lopez estate glowed under the warm flicker of chandelier lights, but the beauty of the mansion masked the rotten hearts that lived inside. Ariana Lopez stood near the towering glass windows, the silk of her dark green gown cascading to the floor. Her deep blue eyes, once filled with innocence, now held a sharp, calculating glint. Five years had passed since she was thrown back in time, reliving the moments before her downfall.
She had been a fool in her previous life—used, discarded, and ultimately murdered. But not this time.
Ariana ran her fingers through her long, soft silver hair, tying a few strands behind her ear as she observed the people who had betrayed her once before.
Across the room, her younger sister, Liliana Lopez, sat comfortably on a velvet sofa, her innocent pink eyes shimmering with feigned kindness. Liliana's long platinum blonde hair was perfectly arranged, her white lace dress making her appear angelic. But Ariana knew the truth—behind that delicate facade was a girl who longed to take everything Ariana had.
Their older brother, Damien Lopez, leaned against the marble pillar, his arms crossed. His sleek, silvery-white hair was combed back, giving him the regal look of the heir he was always meant to be. His violet eyes gleamed with arrogance as he swirled the wine in his glass.
And then there was him. The man Ariana had once called her husband.
Victor Grayson stood by the fireplace, his brown hair slightly tousled, his chiseled features as striking as ever. He wore a deep crimson suit, the color of the blood that had once stained his hands—her blood. The man who had whispered sweet lies in her ears, who had held her gently at night, only to turn against her the moment she was no longer useful.
Ariana took a slow breath, suppressing the rage bubbling inside her.
They thought she was the same weak woman as before. They thought they could still manipulate her.
How foolish.
This time, she would not let them win.
This time, she would rewrite her fate.
And soon, she would meet the man who would become the key to her revenge.
