CHAPTER 1 – The Voice She Was Never Meant to Hear
Carter always believed the surgery would save her life.
At just twenty-nine, she had already spent months fighting a mysterious illness that left her too weak to walk. The doctors insisted an emergency brain operation was her only chance. As the anesthesia slowly pulled her into darkness, the last thing she saw was her husband, Ryan, holding her hand.
"I'll be here when you wake up," he whispered.
She smiled.
She trusted him with everything.
Then... everything went black.
Or so everyone thought.
Halfway through the operation, Emily's mind unexpectedly drifted back to consciousness. She couldn't move a finger. She couldn't open her eyes. The machines kept beeping while cold water trickled across her forehead.
She was trapped inside her own body.
That's when she heard voices.
"Once this surgery is over, transfer everything into my account," a man quietly said.
Emily recognized the voice instantly.
Ryan.
Her husband.
Another voice answered nervously.
"What if she survives?"
Ryan laughed.
"She won't remember a thing. Even if she does... nobody will believe her."
Emily's heart nearly stopped.
She wanted to scream.
She wanted to tell the doctors she could hear every word.
But her body refused to obey.
Then another sentence froze the entire operating room.
"The accident six months ago wasn't an accident."
Emily's world shattered.
The illness...
The surgery...
Even the love she thought was real...
