Emma stood up, her eyes blazing with anger. “Leonara, that’s enough!”I stepped forward, stopping Emma from intervening. “I’ll handle this myself.”She sighed, palming her forehead. “Whatever you want, but if she says anything else, I’ll make sure she gets a black eye.” She sat back down on the bed,
~Tamara~ "The dream is a dangerous place!" Emma’s warning echoed in my mind as I stood in front of my brother’s room. She had told me that stepping into Axel’s dream would be painful—that I might not return as the same person. If I failed, I might not return at all.The first person I thought of af
~Tamara~I yawned and stretched my hands as the last customer left the restaurant. “Finally!” I shouted excitedly, staring at the clock on the right side of the room. Tonight marked Mark’s and my anniversary, and since I was collecting my paycheck that night, I planned to use part of it to buy him a
~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

~Tamara~As I fluttered my eyes open, I gasped. My first instinct was to touch my chest, and when I felt the fullness of my breasts, I knew I was back in my body. My mind immediately went to Axel, who Ian had stabbed. I didn’t remember what had happened after he fainted in my arms, as I had also los
“You…” Tamara tried to say something else, but I grabbed her hand and shook my head at her. I knew what Ian was capable of doing, and he wasn’t bluffing when he said he would snap her neck.“Don't say another word. I will handle this,” I told her. She frowned at me but didn't say anything and angri
“I know you are somewhere around here, so show your stupid face, you coward!”My eyes roamed around for any sign of him, but there was none. I moved away from where I was and searched every corner of the room, including the curtains and outside the window. ''stop hiding if you want to fight me.'' By
~Axel~The park date was the best thing that had happened to me in years since Lyra's death. I never thought being in a park would bring me happiness. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss Tamara and I shared on our way home. Each time I thought about it, I glanced at her, my head filled with thou
~Tamara~ I missed the first shot and got water sprayed on my face. Axel got it, and I also got water on my face. It went on for six rounds until I got lucky and hit one of the balloons. "Yes!" I shouted excitedly as the water got sprayed on Axel's face. He scoffed but said nothing as he threw his
It was my turn to frown because I never expected that it would be all about me, and I couldn’t let him win. He got on my nerves as much as I did with him. “Axel! To hell with your stupid rules!” I screamed. “You think because you are the alpha king, you can control me? Hell no! I do whatever I want
~Tamara~ “The park? You brought me to an amusement park?” Axel sounded as if I had passed terrible judgment on him. He sounded like he didn’t want to be there, but it was the only place I could think of to relieve his stress. Luckily for us, Leonara had the whole place booked for us. “I thought th
