No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Traveling Back In Time

Jane looked at her face in the mirror in a daze as she processed the fact that it appeared five years younger

She looked somewhat naive and inexperienced for now.

But it couldn’t hide the beauty that was still to come.

“I… I’ve been reborn?”

She murmured to herself.

When she checked her phone, she saw that it was October 23rd, 2030.

It was exactly five years before the fire that had killed her.

It was also under a month since she was brought back into the Fowler family.

A bitter laugh escaped her lips. “Is this God’s way of telling me I was too foolish in my past life and giving me a second chance?”

Regardless, she knew one thing for sure.

This time, she wouldn’t be the kind of person who tried to make everyone happy and was always looking for approval. She wouldn’t live for anyone else but herself.

She was well aware that this was an excellent opportunity for her to make amends for her previous errors and free herself from her regrets.

She looked around the room, which was both familiar and new to her.

With renewed zeal, Jane shed her pajamas in favor of a white T–shirt, faded jeans, and an edgy yet chic hairdo for her short crop.

One last glance in the mirror, and she knew she was ready to take on this new life.

She had brought only a small suitcase when she arrived at the Fowler home.

But her hopes for a better life, reuniting with her birth family, and a sense of belonging were strong.

Then she arrived at the door of her “home“.

A home that was nominally her own.

This stunning, luxurious “home” was the source of her most excruciating pain. However, this time around, she was able to get everything done quickly, and she began her life in this house once more.

This day, a resounding knock on the door brought Jane joltingly back to the present moment, just as she had become immersed in her depressing thoughts.

Knock, knock…

Jane suppressed the sorrow in her heart, and an iciness settled into her expression.
