She murmured as Gaby stroked her hair.

Her hand involuntarily relaxed, and the water spilled directly onto the notebook resting on her lap. Panic surged through Sarina as she quickly fumbled in her bag for tissues, trying to wipe the water away. But the notes were written in pencil, and the water had already smudged the writing. As she rubbed at the pages, the smudged words only worsened until the entire notebook became illegible. Nothing could be deciphered anymore. This misfortune, caused by the backlash of her lost fortune, left her in a particularly unlucky state.

One minute, he had arranged a surprise dinner for them after his grandfather's funeral; the next, he received a call that his vacation house was blown up to pieces and none of them survived, only some scattered pieces of his state and his men and Catherine's corpses. He had never been in grief like that, even when his grandfather died, but losing her, it was a sort of grief that was so tremendous and dark, it was a kind of sorrow and regret that made him wish he had died with her and their unborn child. It was more than painful, and just like now, he had never been bothered

halting their philanthropic partnership, citing the "distracting and hurting public controversy." The allies were jumping ship. The rats were jumping into the fire from the ship, and each of them took a further portion of the hull with them. The fortress Joe had built, and which Davidson had believed was steel and stone, was turning out to be a house of cards, and Victor had found himself exactly the right wind.

If the bracelet could suppress my misfortune, then it could naturally save her as well. Miraculously, Jane woke up the very next day. However, after losing the bracelet’s suppression, my condition spiraled out of control. I became what I am now, someone with a bizarre curse where anyone who tried to harm me would have their misfortune rebound back onto them. Yet, why was that bracelet on Hugh’s wrist now? On second thought, the reason my “Misfortune Rebound” power had suddenly stopped working today was probably because of the bracelet. “Where did you get this bracelet?”

Soceity was men and women who never learned to mind their own business and stuck their mouth in the affairs of others and turned molehills into high ice peaked mountains. I worried about my reputation and what people would say about me, what they would do if another scandalous untrue news came out of me being salacious came out. It would ruin Ma and Kawu, so I took a decision and tried to find a husband. I told everyone I knew what my specifications were and Yaana sent me my spec. Hard to believe but true.

Selene had spent too much of her life here—too many nights haunted by memories she couldn’t escape. Now, she walked them as an outsider in her own home.
