I whispered and he chuckled darkly. “Who are you again?” “Hanie Carter. Wife to Ethan Carter. CEO of the Carter enterprise. My husband is so loving to let me take over his company.” I muttered dotingly as we walked out of the room and he nodded in satisfaction. “Don't slip up. Emotions would only break you down and make it easy for you to be trampled on.” He reminded me and I flashed him a smile. “Stephanie Stone died in the elevator that day. Along with all her emotions. Hanie is manipulative. Dangerous. Seductive. We're not the same.” I said, getting into the car and he leaned down, a cunning look on his face.

It was a small private joke she had never shared with anyone. She practiced the expression again. The slight downward pull of the mouth. The shoulders curving inward. The vacancy behind the eyes that told people there was nothing here worth stopping for. She had spent six years building this face and it fitted her now automatically... the body knowing its cues before the mind caught up. One last look. Good. The woman who had made a director stop mid-note and press his hand flat against his chest last Tuesday... that woman was gone. Only the family ghost remained. Plain and forgettable and entirely invisible.

"…Because this is the only place I feel like I'm alive. I tried. I put on the suit you gave me, sat in the conference room, stared at those documents, and listened to those people talk… but I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't feel like I was even human." He lowered his head and looked at his own hands, torn open and scarred. "You shouldn't be marrying me. I'll ruin you." My tears finally fell. I said, "You won't ruin me. You saved me." Cassiano looked up at me, confused. He didn't remember anything, of course. It had happened in my previous life, after all. But I remembered every single detail. "Cassiano, let me be the one to save you this time." I took out the silver cufflink, grabbed his

Rose asked, looking at her suspiciously. “Uhmm talking of course!”. Crystal laughed nervously. “Talking!!. I see. I have no idea, talking leaves bruises on your neck!”. Rose said, smiling slyly. “No, I Uhmm he i!”. Crystal stunned, unable to form a word. “It must be the mosquitoes, I have been seeing a lot of them recently!”. Rose said, smirking, encouraging her to lie. “Yes!! Mosquitoes!”. “Bitch how dare you lie to my face! I can’t believe my boss gave you love bites!”. Rose exclaimed, messing up Crystal's hair.

And I can’t stand seeing her cry over someone who tried to kill her. So I make a decision. If the truth is the only thing that can stop her pain, then I’ll tell her the truth. Not today, though. Today is the burial. *** The cemetery is on the edge of Milan, quiet and green, with cypress trees standing tall and solemn. The sky is pale gray. We arrive as a family, with Mama between Luciana and Bianca, both supporting her as she walks. She’s wrapped in a long black coat, her face drawn and lips trembling.

I replied coldly, "Okay. I've prepared a surprise for you at the wedding." Wales replied that he was looking forward to the surprise, but I didn't respond. The faking-death service's car with a fake licence plate was already waiting at the entrance of the house. I handed them a USB drive that had Wales and Anna's videos and voice recordings on it, reminding them to play the recordings during the wedding. I also handed my phone to them to deliver to Wales along with my corpse during the wedding. I had left a recording of my last words on the device.

The next day, the little girl brought several friends. Although her friends all looked strange and grotesque. There was a hanged ghost dragging an extra-long tongue, a water ghost soaked from head to toe. And a pile of… uh… bloodied meat paste. But the one thing they shared was that they all wore identical red bridal dresses. I felt sorry for them, so I made each of them a super deluxe mega burrito. The kind with loads of ingredients. The little girls ate with their cheeks puffed out. “Ma’am, this burrito was too good!”

I tried to let go of my hand but she is holding me tight and comes close to my ears and whispers… “Look under the bed” And then she disappeared after she whispered it to me. My heartbeat fast thinking about what I need to check under my bed because when I checked under my bed a while ago I didn’t find anything. So I am wondering what she hides under my bed. I slowly put the mop down on the floor and bent my knee to check what was under my bed and I was surprised to see a dead body of a man under my bed. He is facing me with his eyes open and lifeless body. He already looks pale and scary. I cover my mouth to control myself not to shout while looking at the dead body.

No fireworks. Just finality. The crowd erupts in applause. I smile for the cameras, for the legacy, for the lies. But inside? I’m already tearing it all down. I am now Mrs. Vitali. And part one of my father’s plan is complete. But this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. And someone in this story just tried to kill the wrong bride.

By only listening to his procedure of torture sessions, she will regret even knowing someone like him. She doesn't have to see anything only words will be enough to make her shiver in tight fear. Soon a demonic smirk appeared on his charm as he looked at Leonardo's face with a hint of mischievousness. "I'll have to teach my soon to be bride a lesson about who to show that little attitude of hers and who to not!" Fernandez's Mansion Her eyes were straight and dead. Her steps were strong and firm, the sound of her heels creating loud click clack sound earned the attention of the maids as they strengthened up.
