I sat in my office, flipping through some documents, when Mandy burst in, her face glowing with excitement. She held out her hand, and I saw the sparkling ring on her finger."Richard proposed!" she exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with joy.I stood up and hugged her tightly. "Mandy, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you."We sat down, and she started to tell me all about the proposal. "It was so romantic, Carina. He took me to our favorite restaurant, and after dinner, he got down on one knee. I was so surprised!"I smiled, genuinely happy for her. "You deserve all the happiness in the world, Mandy."" This is so beautiful....I don't know if..." I was about to continue my sentence but I decided it was best not to say it. She looked at me, a concerned expression crossing her face. "What about you, Carina? Do you think you'll ever get married again?" Mandy knew I was fighting it and that was the reason she asked me,I knew Mandy was doing it with good intentions but I had my own mind made

I was informed that neither Luke nor Nelly would be attending the high school reunion. A part of me felt a rush of satisfaction, but I knew I needed them to be there. I called the organizers and told them to send an invite to both of them, or I wouldn’t come. " I saw on our platform that Luke and Nelly won't be attending, May I know why ?” I asked politely. “ We figured their presence might make you uncomfortable so we decided not to invite them”“ They are also members of the class and it's only right that they attend also,So please add them to the guest list”Reluctantly, they agreed. This was step one of my plan.Later that day, I dressed up, feeling the weight of the two invitations to my gala party in my hands. My first stop was Nelly’s. She opened the door, her expression shifting from confusion to shock when she saw me standing there.“Carina?” she said, her voice tinged with disbelief.“Nelly,” I replied, forcing a smile. “I came to give you this.” I handed her the invitatio

Now that Martins was here, one of our classmates, Laura, who had organized most of the reunion, stepped forward with a gleeful look. “Now that Martins is here, we can prepare the clips I organized. It’s the memories from our last days in high school.”“What do you mean?” Luke asked, a hint of apprehension in his voice.“The bonfire night,” Laura explained. “Remember? I recorded everything that night. It was such a fun event.”My eyes widened in shock. This might be the time to finally see what happened that night. Maybe I would remember the events and whether or not what happened between me and Martins was rape. The anticipation built up as Laura set up the projector.As the video began to play, everyone turned their attention to the screen. The flickering images of our last high school bonfire night came into focus. Laughter, friends gathered around the fire, and the carefree atmosphere of youth filled the room. I watched, feeling a mix of nostalgia and dread as I sighted myself in s

Luke slumped into a barstool, staring into his half-empty glass. The dim lighting of the bar mirrored his mood. His friend Jake sat beside him, nursing his own drink.“Man, I can’t believe you’re still hung up on Carina,” Jake said, shaking his head. “I mean, after everything?”Luke took a long sip of his drink, feeling the burn as it went down. “It’s not that simple, Jake. She was my wife, and now she’s got all the connections. If I can get back in her good graces, maybe I can salvage something.”Jake raised an eyebrow. “You really think she’s still that gullible? After everything that’s happened?”Luke shrugged. “She forgave me, didn’t she? She invited me to her gala. Maybe there’s still a chance.”Jake leaned back, considering Luke’s words. “You might be right. If she’s that forgiving, maybe you can use that to your advantage. Embrace her vulnerability.”Luke nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face. “Exactly. She’s always been soft-hearted. I can use that.”Jake chuckled, cl

I sat in Madam Katie’s cozy living room, the weight of anticipation heavy in the air. Mandy, Martins, and Madam Katie were with me, all of us gathered to watch the video that Miguel had sent. The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from the screen in front of us. My heart pounded in my chest as I pressed play, and the recording started.Miguel's face appeared on the screen, his eyes filled with a mix of regret and determination. He began to speak, detailing his involvement in Luke’s dirty dealings, Nelly’s scheming, and Claire’s cold-blooded actions. As the video played, the room grew eerily silent, each of us hanging on every word.When the video ended, I looked around at the others. Mandy’s face was pale, her eyes wide with shock. Martins sat with his head in his hands, and Madam Katie had a look of grim determination.Martins was the first to break the silence. “I can’t believe it. My own sister... she killed her husband.” He looked up, his eyes meeting mine. “She acted so de
