Chapter 35 - Alternate the Alternated
Pretend nothing happened. I said that to myself many times.
I was fidgeting and I can't help but worry. I was at the corner of the grand door of the hall, waiting. This event was making me weary and crazy, and I wondered how they bear with it, although Albert's family seldom host events.
Rachel, his sister, shared that they mostly attend rather than host events, and if they did, they would do it twice a year, and this year would be the third. She even told me, Albert never wanted to celebrate his birthday grand. This year would be an exemption.
I was worried because I make one mistake, I will be the headline in tomorrow's news, maybe forever.
No one has seen me, not even Jane when I changed to the ball gown Little Charlie requested from Lila, the family seamstress. She showed me the original drawing, and it was cute. I really couldn't believe they had to make the gown as enormous as his drawing knowing a five-year-old child draw it, but she ex

It was almost like a déjà vu, only I knew that my timeline has changed within its timeline. His birthday party started as it was, the curtsy, the kiss from Little Charlie, the dance but after that part, no Philip nor Marco cut in the dance.The smile was almost plastered in my mouth as I talked with his family, with his relatives, and our own circle of friends, but I have never seen Philip and Marco at the party."Tired, my love?" he asked while we were dancing.I wasn't really sure about how to answer his question. Maybe I was tired of thinking."Tell me what you're thinking," he pulled me closer to him, not minding the clicks of the camera as we danced. "What's worrying you?"Even I was wearing high heels, Albert was still taller than me that I had to raise my head to look at him."Can we leave?" I asked as I glanced at the door Philip told me.He took a quick look in my eyes' direction and smiled. "You want to escape,

"So, you're trying to imply that something is strange because I change my mind about almost everything?"Ed nodded. We moved our heads closer to Albert."And I am doing all these because I am protecting Selene from something?" Albert tried to confirm if he heard it right.We nodded all together."And... you think no one has to know what's gonna happen next?" He whispered.Our eyes widen as we wait for the next words he will say, but he burst into laughter. He pulled the chair beside me and sat down."What are you trying to say?" said Albert, as he propped his elbow on the table and stared at us. "Oh, come on, I just wanted to enjoy my birthday with you. You know I never enjoy parties like that. I could hardly breathe wearing layers of clothes, and you should know that girls."Jane rolled her eyes, "I told you, that's crazy." she muttered, sneering at Ed.I pat Ed's hands, still on the table. "Don't worry, Ed. I'm on your side.
Never Again Chapter 38 - Wild Rabbit
"The barbeque was a good excuse," Albert breathed and kissed my neck. I was just glad I was almost done. I put down the last plate carefully on the side of the tabletop and turned around. I found his face and his mouth waiting for me. I did not wait, I kissed him, and I moaned as he kissed me back. He carried me to the center of the kitchen, and carefully sat me on the countertop. I put my arms around him, as I felt his hungry kisses. He should have told me earlier, he wanted my lips as breakfast, I would be happy to oblige. His lips left mine, and glided his nose to the lobe of my ear and whispered, "I want you, Selene," I smiled as I suck for more air. "I'm all yours Albert," I arched my body closer to him so he will know I want more. He moaned as he playfully bites my earlobe, and then nibble my neck, but despite that, I could feel he was trying to hold himself. "You should have told me, you want me for
Never Again Chapter 39 – Welcome to Paradise
Welcome to paradise!Those words echoed to my mind as we walked near the water holding hands. Only if the moon was in the sky, it would have been perfect."Do you want to see magic, my love?" Albert asked as he turned me to him.I could only nod.He stood behind me, and put his arms on my shoulders, and pushed me closer to him. Indeed, it was like magic as I realize that lighting small trees were fireflies, making them looked like Christmas trees.My lips parted in surprise. It was so beautiful.My eyes welled with tears, and I started to sniff. Why was Albert making it difficult for me? I just have this intuition that one day I would wake up in my real timeline, and this dream he was creating for me makes my heart ached over and over again.I faced Albert and embraced him. This time, I sobbed."Hey," he said, moving away from me, and cupping my cheeks. "What's wrong, love?"I shook my head, "It's just so beautiful
Never Again Chapter 40 – Dreamy Janey
A complete set of pajamas was waiting for me as Albert asked me to go inside the tent. I was so tired that thought I would crawl inside. He didn't want to let go of me like we haven't seen each other in a million years.I smirked as I saw how everything was prepared inside. I took the clothes and changed quickly as I felt cold without him beside me. When I peeked outside, he was picking up our clothes and placed them in one place, then he went to the tent with me."Come here, love," he said, then took a brush from the bag.I chuckled, "Now I believe you really have prepared everything," I sat and turned my back on him.He grinned and quickly kissed my lips. Then, he started braiding my hair. I remember the first time he did my hair, only this time, it was a loose braid."There," he said, placing his arms around my shoulder.Remembering about his daughter with Diana in my timeline, I bet he loved doing this when his daughter was still y
Never Again Chapter 41 – My Secret Past
It was just a lunch, I wanted to tell myself, but when we got back to the house, it was as if the whole household was preparing for another elegant event. The maids were busy cleaning the already cleaned house, replacing flowers in the vases, and the others were busy in the garden setting up the table.I lost count of the number of maids I have met along my way to the room. I recognized only three, and they were all smiling at me. I smiled back, not knowing if it was the right response.From my room, I could see the other maids in the garden having light arguments on how to place the utensils, but they continued to set up the long table for fifteen people.Seeing it, I wasn't sure if I could keep up this kind of life. At home, everything is simple. My mom cooked the food, we set the table, and enjoy the food together.The door opened, and I turned around to see Jane with two clothes in her arms. She had chosen the black dress and handed me the other one.
Never Again Chapter 42 – Wake up!
Jane was the first person I saw when I open my eyes. She was still sleeping, and from the looks of some bruises she had on her arms, she really fought hard a while ago. Poor Jane. She has never done this her whole life. In our childhood days, I would be the one always protecting her."Hey," Ed in a low voice came to me. He must have cried because his eyes were red and puffy. He held my hand."Hey there!" I forced a smile. "I'm sorry," I said as I glanced at Jane.He shook his head. He sat down and kissed my hand and started to sob."Why are you crying, and where's Albert?" I felt like whispering, but the truth, I couldn't find the strength to talk out loud."They're still with his father, and they're waiting for Marco's family," He answered in between sobs.I gritted my teeth upon hearing Marco's name."I have never been scared in my life, seeing you and Jane hurt," he shared, "And when I saw you passed out, it's like something inside
Never Again Chapter 43 – The Time

As they were preparing to leave, I was back in the guest room to pack my things, but I didn't have much stuff so, at this moment, I was just standing, looking outside the window, watching Albert and James.I was mostly confused.You are not to make her life miserable again. One lifetime of sending her life to hell was enough Marco. It ends here! Those words echoed to me again.What did he mean by that? What did he mean when he said he should have believed me, that he shouldn't have abandoned me?If I was to look at our timeline now, he didn't leave my side, he gave me every woman in the world could ever dream of. I practically had a magical time with him.Nobody talked about Marco, nor the incident. Everything was kept confidential. I remembered his birthday when Marco and I danced, his
