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

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
When Jane's dad assured everyone that I was okay, Lady Margarette asked us to stay for one more day but my parents pleaded they wanted to bring me home, like ASAP. 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
Never Again Chapter 44 – Don't Look
Amid my confused brain, I felt like my dad was dragging us out of the residential place. No goodbyes. Not even a time to look around to see the beauty of their home. When I got in the car, I propped myself on the window and inhaled the fresh air.I looked up in the direction of my room, and I saw Albert watching us as we leave. I did not wave. I did not smile. I did not cry. With dad trying to dominate my decisions, I felt empty at the moment.The sky wasn't even happy at the moment. It started to cry, drops of rain started to fall and I extend my arms to feel its tears in my hands before deciding to close the window. On the way to the airport, I recognized the road going to the woods. I closed my eyes and felt my heart begin to cry as I remembered those magical moments Albert and I had as we made love.Even on the airplane, my parents tried to make a decent conversation with me but I didn't feel like talking to them until they decided to give up. Sienna, put on
Never Again Chapter 45 – The Proposal
"Are you trying to mock me, Selene?" roared Dad when we reached home. He didn't even wait for us to all settle. As soon he opened the door, he started his tirade of speech. His accusations were nonsense.The incident in the plane not only brought panic to the passengers but also a discovery that Albert was on the plane. Maybe if we were not thousands of feet above, I imagined him dragging me out of the place. As much as he wanted to stay quiet, the management has to make sure he was safe."As if I know," I said, rolling my eyes. I massaged my forehead with my fingers. I started to get dizzy and all I could hear now was buzzing on my ears. I sat down on the sofa, afraid that I might collapse, but he didn't stop. This was the first time dad wanted to put a leash on my neck and if possible, he would also add a muzzle to stop my aggression."Honey, stop now. It's not the kids' fault," said Mom as she sat Billy in his highchair."She almost died!" shoute
Never Again Chapter 46 – The Truth
My eyes slowly flickered open. I tried to remember what happened, and I recalled that the last person I saw before I lost consciousness was Albert. I wondered where he was right now. I felt weak and I wanted to sleep more but I had to find him. I had to talk to him.When I tried to get up, it was only then I realized I wasn't alone in my bed. Sienna rolled to my side, and she groaned, mumbling about something in her sleep. I couldn't help but smile at my sister now facing me, but that smile disappeared when she started complaining about how small the bed was, and when I didn't move, she pushed me much to get more space that I fell off the bed.What surprised me was the next thing that happened. I was expecting to land on my hard bedroom floor, but instead, I fell on someone."Ugh!" reacted Albert as I land on top of him. "Good morning!" he greeted as he winced in pain. I bit my lower lip hoping no broken ribs happen from my fall."I guess I should stop fe
Never Again Chapter 47 – Ripple Effect
"Is it true you came from the future?"Sienna repeated the question as if I didn't hear her the first time. My eyebrows raised, and my mouth hang slightly open. I could see my sister pressed her lips and continued to fidget."Did you overhear us talking?" I asked, maybe that's where she got the idea. I was ready to make millions of excuses right now. I didn't want Sienna to think I was crazy.She shook her head. "No. In fact, I didn't understand the words Albert was telling you. I bet it's some code only you two understand," she smiled, cheeks turning red probably because she was reminded of what she saw.I felt uncomfortable, too, as my cheeks flushed.She grinned at me."Then, how did you come up with that idea that I am some kind of Marty McFly?" I forced a joke, and I was hoping she would agree with me.She looked down, her gesture when she's guilty of doing something bad."I... I was looking for my pink cashmere, and mom..
Never Again Chapter 48 - Variable
I could die.He could die.Either of the two, the result was never good. Maybe this was just a long nightmare, and when I woke up, I will be fifty-five again. I would rather go back to my old life than share my misfortunes with my family for the rest of their lives."We have another problem," Albert said after our long silence.I groaned. "What could be worse than this, Albert?" I asked in a serious tone. My eyes were like daggers ready to pierce him. "You should have not altered the past, I mean this present time... Aarrgh! It's confusing," I started pacing the kitchen."In the plane, somebody tried to kill us on purpose," he admitted as he focused his eyes on the half-empty glass of milk.I stopped walking and stared at him. Remembering the note, gave me chills. My heart throbbed thinking it was him.Sienna moved her head towards Albert, "Why?""Why?" I was like a parrot, repeating my sister's question.Albert went qui
