I Refused to Let Them Fail

Death didn’t free me—it just sent me back to the moment my life fell apart. In Maple Heights, I was the girl who 'tricked' her way into the Whitmore family after a scandalous fall in the river, never believed, always alone. But now I’m reliving my past with memories of every betrayal—especially from my jealous half-sister and the husband who never truly saw me. This time, I won’t let the same lies define me. When Harrison, the town’s golden boy, tries to claim me again, I refuse to play the grateful wife. But as my old rivalries reignite and new suitors emerge, I face one impossible question: can I finally choose my own happiness, or will the past repeat itself? What if the man who once saved me is the one I must save myself from?

Rebellion doesn’t end at death—it begins there. For a hundred years, I fought for a place in the immortal realm, only to realize the prize was servitude, not freedom. When the founder herself offers the ultimate reward—ascension as an attendant in a world of gods and princes—I shatter my own core and walk away, forcing everyone to question what they’re really chasing. Now, as my rivals seize their golden tickets and the lodge teeters on the edge of faith and ambition, I must face the truth: is eternity worth the cost if it means losing yourself? When everything you believe is a lie, would you kneel—or would you burn it all down?

Sometimes, the lesson you teach is the one you need most. She was the student who wouldn’t meet my eyes, clutching her notebook as if it could shield her from the world—and I was the punk-rocker-turned-teacher, hiding behind a new haircut and borrowed shirt. Sent to a crumbling rural school I never wanted, I tried to be tough, but fear and doubt clung to us both. When my first lesson fell apart and I made her cry in front of the class, I realized I wasn’t the savior I imagined—I was the one who needed saving. Can a broken teacher find redemption in the eyes of a frightened student, or will we both drown in the silence we share?

Fate always cast me as the villain, but what if I could rewrite the ending? The night my mother vanished, she warned me: when the beloved heroine enters our home, my world will collapse—and I’ll be the one blamed for every heartbreak and scandal that follows. Now, with Savannah dazzling my father and brother, I’m forced from my room, my reputation ruined, and my heart shattered by those I once trusted. But when a historic opportunity for women emerges in our town, I see a glimmer of freedom beyond the story’s script. If I refuse to play the villain, can I escape the fate written for me—or will jealousy and betrayal destroy my last chance at happiness?

She jumped, and the world froze. My mother’s fight for survival began on a rooftop, but the real battle was inside our home—against a father who broke us, a grandmother who cursed us, and a town that wanted us to fail. I was the daughter they called worthless, the girl nobody wanted. Yet every time Mom nearly let go, I pulled her back. Together, we endured betrayal, violence, and humiliation, clinging to hope in the darkest nights. When Dad’s mistress arrived with his ‘perfect’ son, we risked everything for freedom. But the past isn’t so easily escaped—and justice has a long memory. Will our love and defiance be enough to break the cycle, or will old ghosts drag us down again? What does it take for a mother and daughter to claim a life that’s truly their own?

With his career on the line and alliances shifting, Foster must decide whether to fight back or walk away, knowing the stakes are higher than just his own job.

But ambition comes with a price: betrayal, heartbreak, and the threat of losing everything she’s fought for. As secrets unravel and the past refuses to stay buried, Autumn and Savannah must decide—will they risk everything for freedom, or let the powerful decide their fate? In a town where memory is a weapon and love is a rebellion, can a ghost and her double rewrite their destinies, or will the house that made them break them for good?

Singled out and forced to run the 800-meter test fresh out of surgery, I begged for mercy—but Derek, the power-hungry class president, refused to listen. When I collapsed in front of the entire school, chaos erupted and secrets about the student council’s cover-ups came crashing down. Now, with everyone blaming each other, I’m at the center of a scandal that could destroy them all.

I jumped to prove I mattered—but even my death didn’t make them love me. When I’m sent back to the day I was adopted, I see every lie and manipulation for what it is. My parents and brother treat me like a burden; my so-called sister sets traps with a smile. I won’t beg for scraps of affection this time—I’ll carve my own place, even if it means being alone. But freedom comes at a price: every move I make, Ava is there, twisting the story, turning my family further against me. Each memory is a warning: loving them almost destroyed me. Now, I’ll risk everything to love myself instead. Can I break the cycle before they break me again—or is it too late to escape their web?
