Second Chance Engagement

Imagine waking up to a second chance, a chance to rewrite the devastating chapters of your life. For Madelyn, that's exactly what happens when she's reborn, not into a babe in arms, but back into the glittering, treacherous world of high society on the very night of her engagement. This isn't just any engagement; it's to Sebastian Lockhart, a billionaire with power that could move mountains. A billionaire whose heart she broke. Once, Madelyn possessed everything a woman could desire: striking beauty, enviable social status, and the unwavering devotion of Sebastian. But her idyllic existence was brutally ripped apart by the venomous treachery of her supposed best friend, Janessa. In a calculated act of betrayal, Janessa orchestrated Madelyn’s downfall, framing her for crimes she didn't commit, poisoning her, and ultimately leaving her to rot in a desolate prison. Consumed by bitterness and regret, Madelyn breathed her last, believing her story had reached its tragic end. But fate, it seems, had other plans. Now, gifted with the clarity of hindsight and haunted by the vivid memories of her past suffering, Madelyn finds herself inexplicably transported back seven years. The slate isn't exactly clean; the echoes of her past decisions reverberate around her. She's back on that fateful engagement night, the very night she, blinded by youthful naiveté and swayed by familial pressure, cruelly rejected Sebastian, declaring her affections for another man, Christopher Gale. That rejection shattered Sebastian, leaving scars Madelyn now desperately wants to heal. Awakening beside Sebastian, the man she foolishly spurned, the man whose love was once her most prized possession, Madelyn is consumed by a fierce determination. This isn't just a second chance; it's a battlefield. This time, she will not be a pawn in someone else’s game.
