Reborn for Revenge

I spent a lifetime as Avery’s shadow, the loyal friend who polished her lies and hid her sins until they buried me. I was her alibi, her front, and eventually, her sacrificial lamb. But death was only a detour. Now, I’m back in this apartment, listening to her powerful, violent husband pound on my door, demanding to know where his wife has gone. In my last life, I took a slap for her; in this one, I’m handing him the truth. Let them call it betrayal—I call it a debt being paid in full.
