once bitten twice shy

Orion Kane had everything: endless wealth, unmatched power, and the world at his feet. To him, life was a game, and he was always the winner—cold, calculating, and untouchable. But one mistake, one moment of overconfidence, sent his world crashing down. When Orion wakes up, he’s no longer the man he once was. His name, his riches, his empire—gone. Instead, he finds himself in the body of Leo Torres, a poor factory worker struggling to survive. A life Orion would’ve dismissed as worthless is now his only reality. As he navigates Leo’s harsh world, he begins to uncover the consequences of his old life—the pain he caused, the lives he shattered, and the humanity he lost along the way. But there’s something else, something deeper: a strange feeling that this isn’t just a punishment. It’s a chance. But a chance for what? Redemption? Revenge? Or something more mysterious lurking beneath the surface of his second life? In a world where the powerful fall and the forgotten rise, Orion must uncover the truth—not just about his new life, but about himself. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
