Arti Butterflies In My Stomach

My three older brothers, Marcus, Jeremy, and Andrew Graham love me to the moon and back. Marcus clumsily practices peeling apples for me when I lie on a hospital bed. Jeremy blushes as he buys sanitary pads and prepares a warm drink for me when I have my period. Andrew spends all his pay to buy me new clothes and even declares, "Whoever bullies you will pay the price." He isn't shy to express his brotherly love for me. I once believed that my life would stay happy like this forever. However, my adopted sister, Mackenzie Falk, accuses me of swapping the graduation thesis she has been working on for three years. I suffer a heart attack on the spot.

Hindi maalala ni Angela ang kaniyang nakaraan dahil sa isang aksidente. Pero madalas siyang dalawin ng mga masasamang panaginip kung saan binubugbog daw siya ng isang lalaki dahil sa labis na selos. Mabuti na lang tuwing gigising siya ay niyayakap siya ng kaniyang asawang si Kyle, at sinasabi nitong isang bangungot lang ’yon, walang katotohanan, at lalong hindi parte ng kaniyang naburang alaala. Kaya lang pakiramdam ni Angela minsan ay ayaw sa kaniya ng kaniyang asawa at parang hindi siya nito mahal, lalo na't madalas siya nitong iwan sa Mindoro dahil madalas itong pumunta ng Maynila para sa negosyo raw nito na hindi naman niya alam kung ano. Kaya minsan ay naiisip na lang niya na baka may babae itong tinatago sa kaniya at iyon ang pinupuntahan nito sa Maynila. Kaya naman para malaman ang madalas na pag-iwan sa kaniya ng asawa ay gumawa siya ng paraan. Sinundan niya ito sa Maynila nang hindi nito alam. Ngunit paano kung sa pagdating niya ng Maynila ay doon na mag-uumpisang bumalik ang lahat ng kaniyang mga naburang alaala, at malalaman ang mga sekretong pilit na itinatago ng kaniyang asawa? At paano kung malaman niya na lang na hindi pala siya tunay na asawa ng kaniyang pinaniwalaang asawa, but his brother’s wife?

My mate, Charles, commander of the fire brigade, left me alone in the den with our unborn pup after I refused his request to bring his first love, Lisa, and her pup into our home so he could take care of them. Five days later, Charles reached out—claiming he wanted to ease the tension between us. He asked me to deliver the herbs that help with his insomnia to the fire brigade. On the way there, I was in an accident. I mind-linked him, begging for help, but to my shock, he refused. I believed he was training the new werewolf firemen—but the truth? He was in the infirmary, not for duty, but with Lisa and her pup. After losing my pup, I walked away—shattered, betrayed, and done.

After I slips and falls in the bathroom, I calls out to my boyfriend, Jared Hammond, for help. But all he does is accuse me of trying to seduce him in my wet clothes. "None of your tricks are going to work! I'm not touching you until Elsie graduates!" he yells. He rushes out to help Elsie Sandberg—the younger sister of his first love, who passed away—with her thesis, ignoring my cries and slamming the door behind him. The pain's so intense I nearly black out, but I manage to use the last of my strength to call an ambulance. Later, the doctor tells me I've suffered a serious fracture and need to be hospitalized. I tried to call Jared over ten times, but he never picks up. Then, I see Elsie's latest Instagram post. "Help! How do I win over a ridiculously hot professor?" The photo shows Jared's hand resting on hers as he patiently walks her through her thesis proposal, again and again. After being discharged from the hospital, I agreed to the marriage that Mom and Dad set up. "Yeah. The sooner the wedding, the better," I said.

"Lisa?" I croaked, barely able to form words, my voice hoarse and weak. My heart had leapt at the sight of her, a moment of hope flickering through the haze of fear. "What's going on? Why... why are you here?" But the look in her eyes, the cold amusement that twisted her lips into a smirk, had stopped me short. It wasn’t concern. “Why am I here?” she had repeated, laughing softly, as if the very question was absurd. “Oh, Anna, sweet, naive Anna. You still don’t get it, do you?” I had stared, my mind unable to keep up, still too clouded with hunger and exhaustion. “What... what are you talking about?” And then, her voice had changed, hardened. “I’m the reason for all of this. The reason your father’s company collapsed, the reason your family is dead, the reason Josh betrayed you. Me.” After discovering that her best friend, Lisa, isn't the person she thought she was and is the reason for most of the disasters in her life, Anna dies, only to wake up five years in the past. With a second chance, Anna is determined to protect her loved ones and take revenge for the pain Lisa caused.
