Game Twelve: Reunited

I raised an eyebrow and burst into laughter at his question. "Are you kidding me, Engineer Dela Costa? Me? Jealous? Of what?"

His jaw dropped as my laughter lingered. I couldn't imagine where he got that idea, that I would be jealous.

After what happened between us, he thinks I still love him? That I still have a special place in my heart for him?

Is he kidding me?

“Your actions,” he mouthed, “You said actions speak louder than words.”

I laughed again at his twisted logic.

“Yes. So, what are you saying?”

“I’m just thinking that maybe, ahm, you’re jealous because you’re angry—“

I tsked. "You're pretty confident, huh? You're bad. Don’t assume that I’m still into you, Engineer Dela Costa, because I’m not!”

I held my breath to stop myself from laughing. He was going overboard with his delusion.

I shook my head, looking back at Ren’s spot on stage. He was gone, replaced by another band member singing.

  • Her Game (English Version)   END

    The Game of Life"Life is full of games."Those were the words that echoed in my mind as Marl and I left the country. Miss Aguirre said them to me as hot tears streamed down my cheeks. I carried the painful experiences in my chest, like heavy luggage. My departure was fueled by resentment, anger, and sorrow.Before leaving the place where I had only endured bitter experiences, I left a promise that I would return. I would return as a strong, resilient, and intelligent woman. I would return to seek revenge on those who had hurt me. I would return to hold those who had wronged me accountable. I would return for the game of revenge.Returning home, that was all that filled my mind. The game where I was the owner. The game where I was the only one who had the right to move and save myself. The game where I was the only one who should win. But I was wrong. Because the game I played wasn't mine, I wasn't the one who ruled it.The game I was in was no exception. Therefore, I also faced the s

  • Her Game (English Version)   GAME 40: RULER

    GAME 40: RulerHearing her aggressive voice, along with the sounds of the pouring rain and thunder, boiled my blood. I was soaking wet, but the cold sweat on my skin couldn’t stop the flames that started to burn inside my beating heart. “Kill her now. What are you waiting for, Ron Marl? Shoot her!” she yelled imposingly from under her umbrella.Confused by what was happening, my eyes darted back and forth between them. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I saw how eager she was to kill me. Why? Was it because of my inheritance? I can give it to her if that’s what she wants. Willingly.“I’ll give you the chance! Why aren’t you doing it now? I’ve let you indulge in your madness for years,” she said firmly, her jaw clenched. “Prove to me you can do it now!”Unbelievably, I looked at Marl directly in the eye. His jaw clenched as he held the gun towards me. I swallowed, seeing the pain pass through his eyes. I know he can’t hurt me. I still believed and trusted him, even though I knew th

  • Her Game (English Version)   GAME 39: LIES

    GAME 39: LiesMarch 22nd. I don't know what's special about this day. Yes, it's the day I was born. Special for others. But for me, why does tragedy seem to strike every time this day rolls around?Still groggy from inhaling the chemical, I slowly opened my eyes. But my hope vanished when all I saw was darkness. Even though I was blindfolded, I swayed and my head pounded from being tossed around as the vehicle sped along. I sighed, realizing my life was in danger. I needed to think clearly and not rush into anything. I know what happened to me. I was kidnapped. It might not be the same as that day, but my heart pounded with the same force and speed. I could barely breathe properly. But this isn’t the time to be weak, to be frightened. Right now, I'm the only one who can help myself. Only me. So I stayed silent, listening to everything.“Yes, we succeeded. I know. But after this, I want my money,” said the woman after a few rings on another line. Her voice was so familiar. I couldn’t

  • Her Game (English Version)   GAME 38: ABDUCT

    GAME 38: AbductMy heart pounded as I walked blindfolded, Ryu holding my hand tightly. The fresh air of the woods relaxed every part of me, despite being bothered by the grass and dry leaves underfoot. I inhaled the fresh grass-scented air, trusting Ryu to lead the way. Until my nose wrinkled when a sweet-scented candle somewhere reached my nostrils. I didn't like the smell.I frowned and grabbed Ryu's arm tighter. “Where are we? You have so many tricks! It’s a good thing I’m not wearing my pumps right now, or I would’ve tripped on the grass.”He chuckled in my ear, squeezing my hand. He seemed nervous about everything. “Just shut your eyes, baby. Okay?”I smiled and wrinkled my nose again, breathing in all the positive vibes. “You said so,” I said monotonously, shrugging my shoulders.He chuckled. And someone’s deep voice chuckled too somewhere. I stopped slightly, making Ryu stop too, when the path became smoother and there was no grass or dry leaves anymore.“Why, baby? Is there

  • Her Game (English Version)   GAME 37: SORRY

    GAME 37: SorryI didn’t know, but my tears streamed down my face like waterfalls. I didn’t know where my anger and annoyance were coming from. The only thing I felt was my face burning with heat. As if they had kissed in front of me. But they hadn’t. They were just staring at each other. But I think that was enough reason for me to be angry, right?“Are you alright, Engineer Lee?” Engineer Vasquez asked, offering me his handkerchief from behind. “How is Miss Devilliana?”I sniffled, accepting the handkerchief and quickly drying my tears that wouldn’t stop. “L-let her,” I said after I sneezed. “Engineer Dela Costa is there. I’m sure he won’t let Channel be alone.”The old engineer chuckled a bit, as if what he was seeing was funny. “Correction. Your fiancée, Engineer Lee. I think you really have a big problem.”I froze and looked away. That hit me. I’m his fiancée. So why am I acting like this? I should at least trust him, right? But I can’t stop the fire blazing in my chest at the

  • Her Game (English Version)   GAME 36: BIRTHDAY

    GAME 36: BirthdayIf Tita Ingrid hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered that day was approaching. Actually, there's still a month before that day. But like in the past, I'm not happy about the approaching birthday. For years, I trembled in fear and preferred to be alone on that day. Because all the horrible memories would come flooding back furiously… and vividly. It's as if, on that day, it was all happening again. Like death was still chasing me.“What’s your plan then, Akemi? Are you going to celebrate your birthday? You know your past still haunts you, right?” asked Michaela, glancing at Marl, who was silently reading the newspaper on the other chair.I sighed heavily and problematically massaged my temple. Even though a week has passed since we talked to Tita Ingrid, I still don't know what to do. Well, I didn’t used to worry about it. But maybe it’s time for me to move on from that night. Maybe I should let myself celebrate this important day. Without thinking about my
