LOGINMy blood ran cold. Not just because of the words, they’d done worse than the scheme. They mocked me. Rewrote my pain as a punchline. Danced on the grave of my dignity like it was confetti. I staggered back from the door, suddenly aware of how my hands were trembling. Of how my chest rose and fell like I was still being dragged underwater. I could still feel it, the betrayal. The nights I cried myself sick. The baby. The blood. The gaslighting. The cold stares. The silence. No, this wasn’t just a memory. It was a resurrection. I pressed my hand to my chest, grounding myself. This body? This moment? It was mine now. Not theirs. Not his. If this was a curse, I’d break it. If this was a second chance? I’d weaponize it. Let them laugh. Let them bask in their borrowed joy. Because from this moment on, I’m not playing the quiet, obedient pawn. I’m the storm they tried to silence. The reckoning wrapped in silk and scars. They don’t deserve peace. Not after what they did to me. I’ll make them feel it. The same agony, the same betrayal. No, worse. Double. And the Kensingtons? Oh, they won’t be spared either. Their blood's just as soaked in my suffering. I lived by their rules in my last life. In this one? They live by mine. And mercy? Yeah, I left that behind in the last timeline.
View MoreNaglakad siya sa gilid ng mga table sa loob ng club at pinagdadampot ang mga baso na hindi na ginagamit. Nilagay niya ito sa tray na hawak hawak niya saka siya naglakad pabalik sa counter ng bar habang kumekembot kembot.
Sa kabilang dako naman ay nakatanaw sa kanyang bawat kilos ang isang lalaki. Palagi siyang nakatambay sa club pero ito ang unang beses na nakita niya si Lucy doon. Bigla niyang naramdaman ang pagkislot ng kanyang pagkalalaki at ang pagtigas nito habang nakatingin siya kay Lucy na mapang-akit na kumekembot sa gitna ng dancefloor.Nakasuot si Lucy ng itim na skirt at corset top, hapit na hapit sa kanyang katawan kaya nakalantad ang kurba niya. Her cleavage was like an invitation para hagkan ng lalaking nakamasid sa kanya. The man cussed under his breath because he couldn't focus anymore. His mind was occupied by the thought of the girl swaying naked in front of him.Lucy starts serving drinks at every table. May lalaking akmang hihipuan siya, but she swayed her hips to the right and winked at him. She was not up for any bullshit, except, of course, if the man got money. But while serving drinks, Lucy noticed the clothes and shoes the man was wearing.They were all fake. She murmured.She left their table and moved to the right corner to serve their orders. A man in his fifties called her attention and winked at her. She secretly rolled her eyes at how gross it looked. One of her rules is no to old men. That's a big no-no for her.She walked to the next table and served the drink. It was too dim in the area, but she could clearly see the man in front of her staring at her. He was looking at her intently, like he was slowly devouring her soul.For the very first time, she felt her knees trembled. She couldn't understand how this man's presence could turn her on. The neon light suddenly hit the man's face, and she almost dropped her jaw. He was unbelievably gorgeous. He looked as if he came from a magazine. His dazzling eyes were fixated on her. His pointed nose and jawline were to die for. She couldn't even believe that the man's thick brows were more perfect than hers, and his eyelashes—damn, they're long.She stood there in front, drooling over God's perfect creation.The man couldn't also believe that the girl she fantasized about earlier was now in front of him, staring at his face. He gulped as his eyes roamed her body. He was now damn sure that the girl had curves and boobs. Her brown eyes were round, and her lips were plump. The shape of her face matched the size of her nose. She was really beautiful. He could not help but feel something for the girl. It was as if he was bewitched by her.The girl looked away and cleared her throat."Here's your drink; enjoy!"After saying those words, Lucy immediately left the area while she still had the energy to move. The man was draining her while he was looking at her body seductively.However, the man couldn't help but smile at the girl's sudden reaction. He drank the beer in the bottle in one go saka niya sinenyasan si Lucy para humingi ulit ng isang inumin. He saw the smug look on the girl's face, which made him amused. This could be the first time that a girl has acted like this towards him."Are you sure you only want one beer?" Lucy asked. Nakangisi naman ang lalaki habang nakatingin sa kanya.The guy nodded his head. And as if on cue, Lucy turned her back on him."Mind telling me your name?" asked by the man before Lucy could finally step farther away from him.Lucy looked back and said, "I'm your biggest nightmare," before leaving.When the man took the beer out of Lucy's hand, he was as if displaying his biceps as he reached for the beer. Lucy's face was burning. It was a good thing that the area was dim because she was afraid that the man would see her cheeks turning red.Kahit na sobrang gwapo ng lalaking iyon, Lucy just couldn't get over the thought that he could be an average man. Although alam niya namang hindi ganoon ka sikat ang club na pinagtatrabahuan niya, paminsan minsan naman ay may napapadpad ditong mayayaman at mga business tycoons. And just by looking at the way the man earlier dressed, Lucy could tell that he was none of those. There is no way that man would be wearing a Ralph Lauren black button-down polo shirt and Prada shoes. Imposibleng branded ang suot nito.She left the man and decided to leave the club earlier than she usually does. She couldn't afford to be swayed by his looks and end up riding him. No. She's not going to let it happen.She won't let someone who's as poor as her fuck her world.As soon as she stepped outside the club, she let out a heavy sigh. Lucy disregarded the thoughts of the man inside the club. But the man's tempting lips never left her mind. Her heart starts beating rapidly, which she cannot explain."There you are. Where do you think you're going?"Lucy tilted her head to the left when she heard the familiar voice. She saw the man in the club earlier, walking towards her direction. His left hand was in his trouser's pocket. He looks really hot.Lucy gulped.But before she could let her mind work, her feet betrayed her.She closed the gap between them and kissed the man on his lips.MAYAThe pictures arrived at noon.My coffee was still warm when the first one came through. I watched the images load—one after another, each one a small knife turning in my chest.Aiden. His hands were on hers. Their fingers interlaced. His knee bent to the floor. The angle of his body tilted toward her like she was the only thing that mattered in the entire restaurant.Even from the angle of the photograph—taken from the side, from a distance, I could see the tilt of her head. The way her hair fell. The shape of her profile.Elena.Of course it was Elena.More pictures dropped. Different angles. Him leaning closer. Her hand moving to his face. Him speaking, his mouth open, his eyes desperate. Her looking down at her lap like she was shy. Like she was pretending to be modest while he literally begged.A video notification came through next. I hesitated before opening it.His voice was rough in a way I'd never heard before. "Please," he was saying. "Just give me one more chance. I mad
SORENShe was real.I could feel the warmth of her skin beneath my palms. Could feel the rise and fall of her breath against my chest. The way her body pressed against mine and felt small. I wrapped my hands around her and took a deep breath. Inhaling the scent of her perfume. The smell of warm sunshine over her collarbones hit me. Followed by the mixture of creamy and sultry scent. Almost hypnotic. I was ready to let myself drown in her scent.Her hands moved across my shoulders, mapping the landscape of muscle and bone. Her fingers traced the line of my collarbone, and I felt my breath hitch. She smiled against my neck, that small, knowing smile, and pressed her lips there. Soft. She slowly brought her tongue out and let the tip touch my skin for a second before retracting it. “I’ve been waiting for you,” she whispered, and the words were real. I cupped her face in my hands and looked at her. It was Maya, but not the version I’d seen in the restaurant. This Maya had no walls. Her
SORENMy mind wouldn’t stay still.It kept drifting back to her—to that impossible, disorienting moment in the restaurant.For half a second, her eyes had locked onto mine. I'd watched them widen. Watching her brows pull together like she was solving an equation, like she was searching for something in my face that she couldn't quite name. It felt deliberate. Intentional. The way she looked at me—like recognition, like memory.Then, just as quickly, the recognition vanished, replaced by polite surprise—the kind people use when they meet someone they’ve only seen on TV.Maybe that was all it was. After all, she’d said it herself: the great boss of the tech world. Of course she’d be shocked to see me in a run-down diner that smelled like burnt oil and cheap coffee.Still… something in her voice, the way her gaze lingered, felt too personal.Or was I just reading into it?Now I sat at my desk, the sleeve of my shirt rolled up, staring at the mark on my wrist.The black cross was so recent
MAYAThe moment my key turned in the lock, I knew.The house smelled of stale perfume and lemon polish. I pushed the door open to find them arranged like a jury on the couch. Elena's mother sat rigid, her spine not touching the back cushion. Her hands moved across her lap with a brittle impatience in sharp, repetitive taps. Tap. Tap. Tap. Her foundation was caked thick today, almost corpse-like, and her eyes had that gleam that made my stomach drop. Father slumped beside her, the loose comfort of old guilt softening his features.I forced a smile on my face and forced my feet to move in their direction. This was going to end in my favour because I have the upper hand."Where are you coming from?" Elena’s mother's voice could have etched glass.I swallowed. "I had to see Aiden."The sound she made wasn't quite a laugh. It was meaner than that."Not even a day. Not even one day since you forced Elena to end things with him, and already you're spreading your legs for him?" Her voice clim
