LOGINSummer The brothers grabbed hold of me and started dragging me toward the front door. As they pulled me across the living room, my eyes drifted to the exact spot where I had fallen and broken my neck.I stared at it for a long moment before slowly shaking my head. So, it had all been for nothing. Everything I had gone through. Every ounce of pain. Every sacrifice. None of it had changed my fate.A bitter smile tugged at my lips. The Moon Goddess could be so cruel. She had given me a second chance only to throw me right back into the same nightmare. If this was how my story was always meant to end, then why save me in the first place?Just as we reached the door— "Stop."Ethan's deep voice echoed through the living room. The brothers came to an abrupt halt, their grip on me tightening as they turned around.I slowly lifted my head, hardly believing what I had just heard."I won't let you take her away," Ethan said firmly. "She's in a vulnerable condition, and it's obvious she doesn't
Summer The moment I saw the men, I froze. My eyes locked with theirs, and fear wrapped itself around my heart so tightly that I could barely breathe. There was something terrifying about the way they looked. Their faces held no trace of kindness or humanity. They looked like predators that had finally cornered their prey, and I was that prey.For a brief second, I lowered my head and shut my eyes. A bitter laugh almost escaped my lips. I wanted to curse the Moon Goddess for giving me a second chance at life when she already knew I was only going to die again, and probably in an even more horrible way. What was the point of saving me if this was how everything would end? Why give me hope only to snatch it away?One of the brothers slowly rose to his feet. "Thank you for taking care of her," he said to Fiona before turning his attention to me.Then he started walking in my direction. Every step he took made my heart pound even harder against my chest. I stood completely still, unable t
Summer "Who are the Marcini brothers, and what did I do to them?" I asked."Well, they are the leaders of an Italian mafia organization," Amelia explained. "They're ruthless and don't forgive anyone. A few months ago, you scammed them, and they've been hunting you ever since."I rubbed my hand over my face, silently regretting everything I had done today. Maybe I should have been nicer to Ethan. If the Marcini brothers ever found their way here, this family wouldn't hesitate to throw me out of the estate to save themselves."I don't think the king is going to protect me," I said quietly."Elena, I'm begging you. Do whatever you have to do to make sure he doesn't hand you over to those men," she said. "If you have to seduce him, if you have to sleep with him, then do it. You can't even begin to imagine what the Marcini brothers would do to you."Even through the phone, I could hear the fear and panic in her voice. If these brothers were really that dangerous, what could Elena possibl
SummerEvery head in the dining room turned in Grace's direction the moment she walked in. My eyes widened, and before I could stop myself, I called out her name with excitement.Grace froze in the middle of her steps. She looked at me with clear surprise, obviously caught off guard by my reaction. Fiona's eyes moved from me to Grace, her expression full of suspicion."Do you two know each other?" Fiona asked Grace, her tone making it sound like simply knowing me was some kind of offense.I had made another mistake, I my excitement, I had forgotten who I was supposed to be. I wasn't Summer anymore , I was Elena. Grace held my gaze for a brief moment before answering. "No, I have never met her," she said, giving me a cold, piercing look.I quickly cleared my throat, trying to cover up my mistake. "Sorry. She just looks like someone I know," I said.Fiona slowly rose from her seat, her face filled with disgust. "I've lost my appetite. I can't sit at the same table as a peasant like he
SummerI sat alone in the room, scrolling through Elena's phone to pass the time. The more I looked through it, the more I realized just how wild and carefree her life had been.Video after video filled the screen. Most of them were taken in crowded clubs with loud music blasting in the background. There were countless clips of Elena and Amelia dancing together, laughing without a care in the world. In one video, Elena was twerking while Amelia stood behind her, cheering her on and hyping her up. In another, they were both laughing so hard that neither of them could keep the camera steady. It was obvious they had been extremely close.I continued scrolling through pictures and videos, watching moments from a life that seemed so different from mine. Elena had lived freely. She had done whatever she wanted without worrying about anyone's expectations.For a moment, I found myself wondering what it would have been like to live that way.I became so absorbed in the contents of the phone t
SummerEthan looked like he was about to object, but I didn't stay long enough to hear whatever arguments or complaints everyone had. I simply gestured for the maid to lead me to his room.The maid hesitated and glanced at Ethan, obviously waiting for his permission before moving. I couldn't be bothered to wait. I turned and started walking toward the stairs on my own. As I climbed, I suddenly slowed down and stopped at a particular spot.The exact place where I had fallen. A chill ran through me as the memories came rushing back. The pain felt so real that it was almost as if it had happened only moments ago. I could still remember the sickening crack when my neck broke. I could still remember the fear, the helplessness, and the darkness that followed.It was strange.bEverything had returned to normal so quickly that it felt unbelievable. Looking around now, no one would ever guess that only a few days ago I had lost my life in this very place.“You are just going to watch her walk a
Summer I was led into the mansion by the butler. The moment I stepped inside, painful memories from my past life came rushing back. My chest tightened as I glanced at the exact spot where I had fallen and broken my neck.The floor was spotless, it sparkled under the lights as though nothing had ev
Summer A few days had passed, and I was still in the hospital. Ethan never came back after that day. The only thing I received from him was a short message saying that his personal assistant would come to pick me up once I was discharged.Today was finally the day. My small travel bag was already
Summer“Ethan Lancelot?” Amelia whispered beside me. Her eyes widened the moment she recognized the man standing at the doorway. She looked completely stunned.“Holy shit,” she breathed. “He looks even better in real life.”I turned slightly and saw her openly staring at him, completely mesmerized.
SummerI slowly took a step back, my heart pounding hard against my chest, this didn’t make any sense. Either I was in a completely different world or I had somehow woken up inside another person’s body. But that was impossible, right? Things like that only happened in movies and crazy stories.“Th
