After six years away, Adelaide returns to her hometown for the one reason she never wanted to face—the funeral of her sister. She expected to mourn the woman who raised her after they lost their parents. She expected to grieve the only family she had left. What she never expected was to come face-to-face with the man she had spent the last ten years trying to forget. Hudson was never hers to love. He belonged to the one person Adelaide loved more than anyone—her sister. But grief has a way of dragging buried emotions back to the surface. As old wounds reopen and memories she tried to forget come rushing back, Adelaide must finally confront the feelings she spent years running from. Some secrets are better left unspoken. Some loves can never be claimed. And some hearts are left carrying the weight of what they can never have. In a story of grief, guilt, and forbidden love, Adelaide must decide whether some feelings are better left buried—or whether loving someone in silence is a punishment she will carry for the rest of her life.

Olivia Candelaria had everything anyone could ever want. She was the most beautiful girl in town—intelligent, talented, and admired by everyone who knew her. As the only daughter of the town's mayor, she had been born into privilege. Yet despite her wealth and status, Olivia was remembered most for her kindness. To everyone around her, she was simply... perfect. So when Sabrina found Olivia's body hanging from a tree, nothing made sense. The girl who seemed to have the perfect life couldn't have taken her own life. Or could she? It was a question that never stopped haunting Sabrina. "What happened to Olivia?" ••• Five years had passed, but Sabrina still couldn't escape the memory of that tragic night. It haunted her every day, and it had become a hindrance to her life.

The memories they had tried so hard to bury began to resurface, and the cracks in their stories slowly began to show. Because some things refuse to stay in the past. Someone knew what really happened that night. Someone had spent five years making sure no one found out. And the closer Sabrina got to the truth, the more she realized that someone was determined to keep it in the dark forever. Every secret was buried for a reason. Every lie came with a price. And some truths were worth killing for... again. What really happened to Olivia?

𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 She was the embodiment of jealousy and malice. The necessary evil destined to be sacrificed so the story could have its happy ending. She existed for one purpose: to fall, to die, and to be forgotten. And somehow, against all odds, I became her. I woke up inside the world of the trashy novel I wrote in high school—trapped in the body of its doomed villainess. Out of every character I could have reincarnated as, fate chose the one whose death was inevitable. The villainess whose only role was to stir chaos, shoulder everyone's hatred, and die tragically so the hero and heroine could live happily ever after. The worst part? I was the one who wrote her fate. Now, if I want to survive, I'll have to defy the ending I created, rewrite Crimson Vermillion's role, and somehow improvise my way through a plot that was never meant to save her. Because I refuse to die. So this time, the villainess will write her own ending. And it'll be a fucking happy ending.
