Burden of Blood

"My sister-in-law, Maeve Cohen, floored my luxury car and blew past traffic at about 125 mph, killing a family of three.She pretended to be me and acted as if nothing could touch her."Those idiots walked into my path! It's not my fault they got hit!" she snapped. "I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress. Even if I ran, who would dare catch me?"In my last life, Maeve said her husband wasn't home and she needed a car to visit her parents, so she borrowed mine.She ended up racing down the road, plowing into a family crossing the street, and driving back over them to make sure they were dead.The couple had just bought a house. The baby was only a month old.When the victims' family demanded an explanation, she hid behind my reputation and spat venom."They're just three worthless people! I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress; why should I explain myself? Tell them to come to me for funeral expenses!"The grieving family couldn't take it and came to my in-laws' place. "Three worthless people, huh? Today, we'll end you so you can apologize to them in person!"My husband had died the year before. With no one to protect me, the victims' family turned on me, and I was stabbed to death.The valuable wedding gifts my family had given to me became Maeve's overnight.My family tried to appeal for me, but trolls who hated the rich maliciously reported tax problems about my father's company.My father was driven to exhaustion. One night, he fell asleep at the wheel, and the car plunged off a cliff, killing him.Only after I died did I discover it had all been Maeve's plan to ruin us out of spite.Then I opened my eyes. I was back on the day Maeve took my car and ran into those people."
