~Tamara~My head pounded as I woke to the blinding sunlight outside the window. I fluttered my eyes open and realized that the curtains were wide open, and I saw my clothes tossed beside the bed. I rubbed my bed and reached for my left side, hoping that I would touch the desk that used to be by my b
~Axel~I rubbed my forehead for the umpteenth time, trying to forget the woman I had met a few days ago. She was the same as Lyra. I have heard about reincarnation a thousand times but never expected Lyra to be reincarnated after a hundred years. Seeing her felt surreal; I had almost made a fool of
~Tamara~Today, it had been hectic.The customers had been trooping in, and Mr. Lan and I had worked endlessly to satisfy them. Even with the help of a high school girl on break, my workload did not decrease, and I couldn’t complain because I had begged Mr. Lan for extra hours to pay off my piled-up
~Tamara~I sighed as I stared at my phone, reading the rejection message repeatedly. It was a message from all the companies I had applied to and short and direct rejections.“Miss Tamara, sorry, we are not hiring, but when we do, we will contact you.”It had been almost a week since I last met the
~Axel~Tamara sobbed as she turned to face the car window. My heart ached because I had witnessed everything, but I pretended not to be there, desperate for her to help me. She had been through a lot, and I wished I could have hurt those who made her like that.‘’Are you…’’ I reached out to touch he
It was the hardest decision of my life.Heaving a sigh, I touched Lyra’s chest and burst into tears. “Lyra, please,” I hugged her body. “I love you, and it’s hard for me to do this. “Lyra rubbed my hair and sniffled. “I am not letting our child die, and if anything happens to me, I need you to be s
~Tamara~Luxury.I had never expected to experience it in my entire life, but it is happening. It came to me all at once. When I came out of the king’s car, the first thing I noticed was the majestic structure before me. I had only seen it in the movies and heard about it in stories, but it was all
Intrigued, I walked towards the painting, and the king noticed. ‘’Ahm, you have found the lady of the shadows.’’I turned to him, my eyes seeking for answers. ‘’who is she?’’‘’No one.’’ His response was quick as if he didn’t want to continue the conversation, which I respected by taking my eyes off
I glared at her and then scoffed. ‘’none of this would have happened if you had not gone to that park. My brother is out to kill you, and if you don’t as I have said, then you will die before your brother wakes up,’’ I threatened her to put fear in her mind because I would never let her die as Lyra
~Axel~‘’Are you alright?’’ Tamara asked when she heard me groan for the umpteenth time. I turned to look at her, expecting to see the Frown I always have on my face, but instead, she smiled at me.Seeing her act like that worsened things, adding to my aching forehead. Her body was weaker than I tho
"Whatever you’re thinking is right, Tamara," she said, calm but serious. "I don’t know how it happened, but...'' “No,” I shouted and then collapsed to the ground, blacking out and hoping that when I woke up, I would be freed from this madness.~~~~~~~~~"She is waking up," someone's voice sounded h
~Tamara~A voice. A familiar voice echoed in my ears, growing louder as if the speaker was in a heated conversation with someone else. Strangely, the voice sounded exactly like mine, but I wasn’t speaking. At first, I thought I was dreaming until I heard it again, louder this time, and whoever was
Emma smiled and ran a finger along the edge of the dagger. "Don’t worry about that. The dagger won’t hurt her. It’s just going to make a little slit on her palm, and if anything goes wrong, I’ll heal her. Voila, no damage caused."I frowned at how playfully she was acting. Who would have thought the
~Axel~"Your Highness, there is no way I am allowing that!" She took a step forward. "There’s no way in hell you'll risk your life!"Emma sighed and sat down on the bed. "This is going to be a long one," she yawned.I frowned at her, and she shrugged her shoulders. "You joke about everything."She s
Emma's eyes snapped open and met mine. "Her mind is corrupted," she said, wiping her forehead. "She's caught up in a dream, reliving the same nightmare repeatedly. She's being killed, Axel, and she can’t wake up."I felt a chill run down my spine as I looked at Tamara. The trembling had stopped, but
~Axel~“Emma, thank you for coming,” I heaved a sigh of relief as Emma, my witch friend, walked into my lavish living room. She frowned when our eyes met and then rolled her eyes. I knew she was mad since I had contacted her late at night. “Ax,” she muttered, heading towards me. When she reached m
As soon as I entered the elevator and it started going up, the tension suddenly changed, and I could feel her piercing eyes on the back of my head. Curious to see what it was about, I turned and met with her glaring eyes. ‘’I guess you are happy now that Mark has been removed from his job and not al
