Chapter 1 Talia's Unexpected Death

• Talia Ropp never imagined she'd witness her own funeral. In the solemn hall of a Saint Gullins funeral home, a young woman lay in a transparent casket surrounded by fresh blooms. Talia was a beloved actress, a rising star in the entertainment industry, and an honored recipient of the Best Actress award.
• Her future once promised brilliance and success. Yet, a fatal turn came after a celebration turned tragic due to a drunk driving accident. Her vibrant yet delicate life froze at the tender age of twenty-five.
• Beside the coffin stood a tall, grief-stricken man clutching a portrait of the woman, tears flowing down his face. "The dead cannot return to us. My condolences." His sorrow overwhelmed attendees, who sought to console him during the somber gathering. "Talia knows your love. She'll be watching over you from the heavens," they whispered. "She's gone to a better place, carrying your love with her."
• As an orphan, Talia's mourners were solely from the entertainment world—celebrities, actors, and actresses who had known and worked with her.
• Allison Fritz lingered at the fringe of the gathering, fixating on the man cradling Talia's portrait, his sorrow palpable. A chill crept into Allison's gaze.
• She should have been in that coffin, but she was reborn, transported into Allison's body, a D-list actress she had once despised. The original Allison, somewhat attractive but with dismal acting skills, was known as a devious woman in the industry for her tendency to ride on male celebrities' coattails.
• At that moment, the man holding a picture of Talia choked up and spoke emotionally, "Even though Lia is no longer with us, she'll always live in my heart. Today, I want to sing her favorite song before we say goodbye."
• With heartfelt sincerity, he began to sing in a voice filled with emotion. "You raise me up so I can stand on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be..."
• The man's heartfelt performance moved everyone in the room, but each word cut deep into Allison's heart. Standing before her was the late Talia's fiancé, Wilmer McKain, a movie star. Once, this song symbolized all her love for Wilmer and her hopeful dreams of a future together. Now, it felt like a bitter mockery of those emotions.
• In her mind, Allison vividly recalled the moments before her death. Trapped in the wreckage of her mangled sports car after the accident, she had mustered her last strength to plead with Wilmer, "Save me, Wilmer. Please save me..." Instead of a helping hand, she was met with Wilmer's cold smirk and callous words. "Lia, only in your death can I inherit all your assets. Rest in peace, Lia."
• Everyone believed Talia's car accident was just that—an accident. Little did they know, it was actually orchestrated by her fiancé, Wilmer, for her inheritance. It wasn't until she was on the brink of death that she realized Wilmer had been deceiving her all along. He truly lived up to his job as a movie star. But none of that mattered now—Talia had returned alive as Allison. She was determined to seek justice against those who had hurt her!
• Taking a deep breath, Allison confidently stepped forward in her high heels and spoke calmly, "Mr. McKain, I've heard that before Talia passed away, she left behind a substantial inheritance worth hundreds of millions. Now that she's gone, how do you plan to handle her extensive wealth?"
