Novel & Cerita Fool Me Twice Can't Get Fooled Again

"Right. Seven years… I lived off stale bread with you. I was there when the debt collectors came banging on our door. I thought we were toughing it out together, but the whole time I was just grinding myself down alone." Audrey shook her head frantically, terror flooding her eyes, looking completely wrecked. "That's not true. I only ever loved you. Micah was nothing, I swear, it was all an act!" "An act?" I echoed it back, flat and quiet. "Handing him the deal that was mine was an act? Sitting with him while he got his wisdom teeth pulled, leaving me to sign my own palliative care papers alone—was that also an act?" I turned my head back toward the window, where the sun was sinking red into

She's looking down at her fingers that are nervously clutching unto each other. "How are you feeling?" She's still not looking at me as she asks in a tiny voice when she finally has the courage to speak. "I'm so sorry! It wasn't me that caused you pain. I swear that I don't know what happened. I don't know how it happened, Alpha, please believe me! I wouldn't dare hurt you and..." "I believe you have something to tell me?" I cut her off mid-sentence. She's sobbing as she explains but I'm not moved by her tears. What is that saying?... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice then shame on me.

“You know nothing.” “Didn’t I? When you thought I was just a nobody, it was too easy for you to throw me away. But finding that I was not what I appeared to be, you changed your tune. Sorry, Kingston, but you are busted. You can not fool me a second time. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” “Do you honestly believe that I would use innocent children to gain favor for my business? Is that how callous you think I am?” I shot back.

She nearly pleaded. “Only if you give me your word. Unless you aren’t a woman of your word.” He looked darker at the comment and she shook her head that she was. “I am, I promise to do as you ask this time. But I had very little time now, I’m sorry.” She said again and he looked her over. “Good, then I will hold onto this and go with you to be sure. Fool me once I believe they say.” She let go of the box and rubbed her arm. She was familiar with the saying. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Our mate bond was burning pleasantly, which didn’t help my mind’s argument. My heart listed compelling things: Gideon was a good father to our children, and I very much wanted to kiss him again, longer this time. But my head remembered the past, and the memory of that hurt splashed like cold water over me. I was so afraid of being hurt and abandoned again. I wasn’t sure I could survive it a second time. What was the saying? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If I loved him openly once more, and he hurt me again, who could I blame but myself?

The shocked cry was swiftly drowned out by another voice that cracked through the room like thunder: “Hell no! Are you blind, you miserable wretch? How dare you insult Mr. Brooke! You must have a death wish!”

"You liar, why didn't you wait for me before leaving? You said you'd wait for me! Don't you know that liars get long noses? "I'm really angry, got it? I don't forgive liars!" I sat in front of her grave, prattling on and on about anything and everything interesting that happened since we were children. In the end, as the sunset turned red, I wiped my tears. "You know what? It's fine. You've just gotten ahead faster than me this time. Wait for me, alright? I'll go find you the moment I take my revenge. "If you break your promise again, I'll really be angry at you!"

Her words seemed full of care and concern for me, but the hair on my arms stood on end. In my first life, after drinking the chicken soup Jessica made for me, I blacked out. I didn't hear the station alarm going off. In the end, I was labeled the one responsible for the fire, while Stanley Porter became the hero who put it out. The second time around, to avoid repeating the same mistake, I not only gave up on the fire captain position but also deliberately left work early to go home. Yet, after drinking the chicken soup Jessica had made, I fell into a deep sleep again.

I shook my head. “I don’t understand sarcasm. “So I do not accept apologies that are not sincere. “You are apologizing because you are afraid of Claire, not because you believe you were wrong.” Their faces went pale. They hurried back to their seats. After that, I stopped forcing myself to adjust to unspoken social rules. I stopped trying to guess what people really meant. Around me, people began saying exactly what they thought. One afternoon, Jack came to me with a failing physics paper. “Mason, am I actually stupid?”

I said to him, enraged as he laughed. “Believe me, he is fucking foolish. The dumbest guy I've ever seen actually. And he's going to keep being dumb, and I am going to make it that way. I can't believe you two tried to play a stupid trick on me. You really thought it was going to work? I was going to fall for your stupid manipulation. No, I would not. You both are so funny. Makes me confused on how to act,” I continued.
