I’ll Have My Revenge, Husband

"I’m finished running after you, Vivienne. I won’t come back. I wish you and Maximilian a lifetime together.”

Those words split something open inside me.

Sebastian Hawthorne—the man I discarded without looking back—was leaving my life once more.

In my first life, I let him go. I chose Maximilian Hartman. And that choice ruined everything.

Maximilian didn’t just betray me—he destroyed me. He pinned a murder on me to protect his mistress, abandoned me in a rotting prison cell, and watched me fade. All while Sebastian was selling his empire piece by piece, desperate to buy my freedom. I never knew. Not until it was far too late.

Fate, apparently, has a twisted sense of mercy.

I woke up twenty-five again—thrown back to the exact moment Sebastian was about to ask me to marry him.

This time, I didn’t hesitate. I held on. I pleaded.

“I was wrong. I never wanted him. I want you—only you.”

For one fragile second, I believed I had fixed everything.

Then Maximilian showed up.

Same lazy smile. Same poison behind his eyes. Same carefully crafted lies. And when he played that video—when the room filled with sounds that were never mine—I finally understood.

He remembers too.

He came back just like I did. But this life isn’t about love anymore.

It’s about survival. It’s about revenge. I won’t die for Maximilian again.

This time, he’s the one who’ll go up in flames.
