Nadin has sworn for revenge, as her husband of three years had betrayed her and had a thing with her stepsister. Then, before her eyes, her stepmother murdered her dad. Afterwards, she used acid on Nadin to kill her but only succeeded in damaging her face and body, which demanded plastic surgery. Fast forward to the present time, a year after she got out of a coma as a result of the acid poured on her. “I want revenge. I want all of them to go to hell.” This was Nadin trying to kill herself after she got out of being in a coma for a year, and she had been reflecting on how she had been betrayed and hurt by people that used to matter to her the most. “If you must do that, then you need at least to stay alive. Besides, the doctor didn't save you just for you to harm yourself.” Luciano, her adoptive guardian, tried to give her reasons to live. Nadin is back with a new face and identity to his ex-husband’s life with her little game of revenge, as she remembered every pain, betrayal, and heartbreak they caused her. Meanwhile, her ex-husband was desperate to do everything for her to turn heads over heels with her, as he had attained the height he wanted but lacked just one thing, which was true love. The woman he failed to cherish and love before now, currently he wants to love her unmeasurably in another face, as she reminds him of his ex-wife a lot. When revenge meets desperation for love, could Nadin's ulterior motives change along the line and her ex-husband get her love back?

NADIN'S POV I could feel my eyelids heavy as I tried to force them open. When I finally woke up from what felt like an endless sleep, all I could discern was an unrelenting pain, as if someone had just plucked my brain out of my head. Moreover, I cared less about it, as I was more curious to know what was happening around me and where I was in particular. Even though I can't recall anything, I could feel the scars of pain all over. “Oh, you are finally awake.” That was the first thing I could hear; before then, it was all like muffles of irregular and unpleasant sound. The lady in question said that with smiles stretching across her lips. I managed to return the smile in my own little way as I was still trying so hard to fix things right in my head. Given what she said, I couldn't even pinpoint the exact duration of my sleep here. She advanced closer, I think, to examine me and to think that I wasn't wrong after all. She carefully removed the oxygen therapy mask that was loosely placed on my nose, down to my mouth, and held by an elastic around the back of my head. Then she took out the stethoscope that was hanging from her neck and put it right in my chest. Thereafter, she tried to open my eyes wider using her first two fingers, then looked at them closely. She also examined my pulse and temperature to ensure that they were in check. “Now that you are in this phase, how do you feel? Any pain so far?” She asked, still looking excited to see me awake. It made me wonder if it must have been a long time since I've been lying down there, maybe lifeless; who knows? Because that was the only way I could explain the excitement on her face since I got awake until after the examination. At first, I didn't know what to say to her, so I gave a subtle nod, as it was just a hazy memory I could feel. From the nature of the room and the equipment I saw the lady use on me, I could guess I was in a hospital. Then the lady right in front of me should be a nurse, as she had a white uniform on. I could still feel an excruciation in my head, but I didn't know exactly how to describe it to her. Before I could even react to it, “I will be right back.” She whispered and left immediately. As soon as she left, for no reason, I had hot tears rolling down my cheeks. I took a little moment to center myself and regain control before I wiped the tears from my cheeks with my fingers. So it was as if the headache got subsidized a bit. Then, I looked out the window and noticed the broad daylight. I longed to see what it felt like outside and then decided to step out before the nurse got back because it was as if the room were closing in. I guess it must be the effect of staying inside a particular room, unconscious for a long time. When I got to the door, I decided to take the right without considering the left, and then it seemed like I could feel something in my left eye’s peripheral vision. Then I abruptly swiveled my head in the opposite direction. At that moment, my eyes met this man. His eyebrows were thick and well groomed, and I noticed his gray eyelids and his red lips. He has a sweet aura around him that complements his tall stature, which was obvious even while he sat down. The most interesting part was his dark eyeballs, which were intimidating. Unconsciously, my eyes glitched with his clothing, which was definitely a custom-made suit that blended well with his macho-looking body. Although I couldn't explain the reason I was attracted to him, it was as if his handsome face had a powerful effect on me as I got stuck on the spot. He was sitting on the extensive seat placed adjacent to the ward; it was just one of the waiting spaces where anyone could sit and wait for someone, and I guess that was what he was doing. Even though my memory was blank, no one needed to tell me the truth that was already in my face. 'I could feel something for someone I barely know.' But I had to retract myself from the love scene that was playing in my head. His cologne was strong and familiar, but I couldn't connect the dots. As our eyes met, it felt like forever as my heart beat several times, like it was familiar with his presence. It feels like everything else fades away, as if nothing exists but the two of us. He noticed my glue-like stare aimed at him, and I smiled broadly, at least for the first time after I woke. Just when I thought he was having some concern look at me too. “Has anyone ever told you it's awkward to stare at people the way you do? Besides, that's what makes you look nothing less than desperate.” He said with a tightened jaw, and his deep voice cut through the thoughts in my head. I frowned and remained bewildered, not understanding what he was pointing at. His now ‘mocking’ gray eyes pinned me to the very spot where I stood, and I couldn't move an inch as I felt something hold me there. At the same time, his words and behavior had such a negative effect on my heart that it felt like it was being crammed. The feelings were so intense that I felt like all my blood had been emptied. I managed to shift my eyes away from him. I didn't know what exactly to say, as I felt any word was likely to piss him off. If only my innocent stare at him could, then my words would be worse. I was just about to look at him again, so it wouldn't look like I was shy. However, when my eyes turned back to his, they met a lady's gaze that seemed to have come out of the corridor just around where he was seated. The woman was wearing a finely slit red dress and her echoing stilettos, which were up to 4 inches long. Her red lipstick matched her dress, and her ponytail was styled so high that it appeared like she was a model sample. On arrival and realizing we were likely to be discussing, I noticed that her face turned stone-cold, and her lips formed a thin line. She rushed in front of me while chewing gum and quickly raised her eyebrows with an impish grin, revealing her intention to taunt me. “Why are you staring at my man that way?” I tried to fix the voices from them both, as they seemed somehow familiar, but it wasn't coming. Maybe, I was assuming a lot. Her eyes revealed a thickness of so much anger, even when I doubted if I knew her before now. I guess because she thought I was talking to ‘his man’, like he had referred him the first time. I returned the raised eyebrows and still couldn't say a thing. But because she wasn't pretty sure that we were discussing, she couldn't vent her anger as she had no proof of the thoughts going on in her mind. “Let's go inside, darling. The doctor said we can go to the lab to get the blood sample for the marriage tests.” Before he could stand up, she went and grabbed his right arm in a sensual manner. The young man gave me one last glance as he turned back, entering one of the offices and were soon out of sight. With that, I stifled a small chuckle but refused to say anything. For one that just got out of a coma and the first encounter I am having is with such terrible beings, I wish I could just go back to rest but was still skeptical. But then, I'm guessing they're a couple. This is such a lovey-dovey show; well, that's their luck. Just then, I let out a huff of frustration, then set my shoulders to go back so I could make a U-turn to face the direction of the room I had exited. **Kpraaaaaah** A loud noise was heard, and then it was so deafening that I had to use both my hands to cover my ears. Within a split second, I noticed I was screaming out loud, and then I fell to the floor with closed eyes.Jasmine’s POV Three years down the lane.Mr. Williams and Mrs. Leah has been jailed, and that was a life imprisonment with regard to all they were used against in the court, which includes my attempted murder and death of Ethan. Bella was also sent to prison after she was arrested abroad for drug trafficking.I had come to Ethan's grave to worship with my 2-year-old son and Luciano.“Ethan, I have come to see you and pay due respect. This is our child, and his name is Brad. He is actually 2 years old now.Isn't he adorable?Come here, son, say ‘Daddy.’” I said as soon as I dropped a bunch of flowers right before the tomb.“Daddy.”He responded cheerfully.“Doesn't he look a lot like you?Anyway, I think you are mad at me; otherwise, why haven't you ever visited me in dreams at least?Anyway, I want to remind you that I will take good care of our child for us.Before now, you were the one chasing after me, but from now on, let me engrave you in my heart.”I smiled heartily and then t
Chapter 109. Jasmine’s POV I watched as Ethan gave up the ghost. I wailed like my life depended on him coming back to life.Just then, the police surrounded the whole vicinity, and Mrs. Leah, Mr. Williams, and the hired assassins were all apprehended.I barely noticed how Mrs. Leah kept apologizing to Mr. Williams that it was all a mistake and she never meant to kill Ethan. Instead it was me that she wanted to kill.That was before the police got in, though.Although I didn't pay much attention to them as my whole focus was fixed on Ethan's dead body that lay on my lap, with our bodies having blood all over that came from his mouth and stomach where the knife had pierced him.In no time, the ambulance came and took away Ethan's corpse.It all seemed like a dream, but I have to accept the reality the hard way.One of the officers approached me.“The record has been completed.Please accept our condolences.We would have arrived a bit earlier, and this wouldn't have happened, but we n
Ethan's POV I had gotten the location of the place by the office I had called after he tracked the number I sent to him.And so I headed there at once while he informed me to get the police squad ready and so he would join me soon.As I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to rush to the location he had already shared with me.I got in the middle of the conversation where my dad and Mrs. Leah had disclosed so many things about the truth they had been hiding from me all along.Although I had heard that was the same truth Jasmine had used to claim back the heir of the Scott family but I believed it was all manipulated by Jasmine.Now, hearing my dad and Mrs. Leah admitting it all, I have no reason to see Jasmine that way.Now, I know Jasmine was innocent and she is the Nadin but there was no time for that.When I wasn't having it, I needed to stop up from the spot I hid all the while, as I had heard all I needed to know about the truth.“Stop.”I said, pausing my dad in his act as he tr
Williams POV“How did both of you get here? Aren't you supposed to be in prison?Does that mean you escaped custody after all your evil deeds that were labelled against you two in the law court?”Jasmine asked fiercely, trying to get up at the same time.Just when I thought she could just shut her fucking lips for once. Or it hadn't dawned on her that she was in dire danger and no one was coming to save her.Anyway, it's not her fault as she didn't know the plan is to end her life here, and nothing is ever stopping us on that.I think I needed to reset her brain a little; let's say the previous slap from the thugs didn't do enough justice, and so I went on and slapped her really hard, sending her back to the floor.“Bastard!You got me into this mess. How do you think that I could let you go just like that?”This godforsaken lady has messed up my life, big time. If not for my connections, I would definitely rot in jail over time, as I know that was part of her plan. And now, it was as
Ethan's POV After what seemed like a short nap, I could say it's the shortest nap in the history of man, as I could feel I woke up not long after I had slept.Although I know the sleep had a lot to do with the alcohol I took and the pain I felt because I wasn't feeling sleepy nor having the thoughts of sleep before then.I staggered out to the corridor that led to my room as I wanted to ease myself at the convenience room, and then saw Nadin with my phone, though she backed me and didn't take notice of me.“Why are you with my phone?” I asked, and she freaked out as she didn't see me coming behind her.“Which day did my phone turn to yours, or do we both share the phone now without my notice?Did someone call? Who was calling?” I questioned all at a time.“Ethan... I... I...”Obviously stammering, right then, I knew she was up to something.“Give me my phone at once.”I said, stretching my hand, and took my phone from her at once.I went through the last caller because I was convince
Jasmine’s POVWhile I was alone, the idea to escape kept striking my mind even after many failed attempts.And so, I wouldn't stop to think within me any way I could do that.So, I managed to get a broken broken that was behind me. I had sighted it from a distance, though, after so much effort of moving backward.I commenced using the bottle to slightly cut the rope, and fortunately enough for me, I got myself untied, although I injured myself in the process and blood gushed out, but that was the least thing I could worry about now. As my nervous system was more concentrated on the danger that lies within and how I would escape, it was what seemed to overtake the better part of my thoughts.I didn't bother to untie my legs; I need to at least inform someone so at least the person could contact the police in case I am escaping and the kidnappers apprehend me on their way back or something.I think that is a nice idea, and I needed to act accordingly to that immediately.I quickly picke
Ethan's POV My life has been so shattered without Jasmine.Though I had opted for the divorce at first, I felt it could make me forget things about her so fast, but that didn't help at all. I think it even made it worse.Now, thinking of the one who claimed to be Nadin is nothing like her; if I have to be honest about it all to myself, But that was exactly Nadin's face, but then, I can't really place the dots how they connect in character.I have heard her making calls secretly, requesting the completion of the money for a service she is rendering.Seems like she has a lot of secrets too, but right now, I didn't care about all of those.One thing that I find so confusing and can't even answer is, do most women keep secrets to be happy?I wouldn't even lie that it makes me weak as fuck.I feel like I was losing it, with nobody to talk to or even share my pains with because it seems Nadin isn't even close to me the way Jasmine was. My dad is behind bars and had been charged to court,
Jasmine’s POV I had gone to pay another homage to my dad's tomb.At least I have accomplished a greater part, if not all, of the revenge I had promised him to get.At least Mrs. Leah, Bella, and Mr. Williams are all behind the bar now.The good thing was that the company is already doing better after like a month and half that I got in position and very soon, it would soar as high as it used to.“Dad, did you see all of that?I have avenged you.All these villains are getting what they deserve.The plan went smoothly, but you know it's impossible for me and Ethan to be together again, even though I still feel something for him.”As you know, Ethan and I are still like cats and rats who wouldn't see each other in broad daylight, but then it's not in my power to do anything about that.It's just the bitter truth he needs to face.Luciano has been so helpful in every single way I needed his help and had tried so much to respect my feelings too.Just then, I stood up to leave, but I noti
Bella's POV Seeing how prepared Jasmine has come to spoil the show for me. Not this event that seemed like a dream come true to me, that I had waited for some time before it finally came to a reality.And so, I had to act accordingly as my mum was too stunned to react, unlike her though.Just at the heat of the moment after she played the audio, I had fully recognized my mum's voice and that of Mr. Williams, knowing how far this could go to mess things up for me. As that was already enough proof, the board members need to know what had happened to Mr. Scott for real.I quickly snatched the tape from Jasmine and smashed it on the floor.“This voice is synthesized. It's not real, and you all shouldn't believe that trash. She doesn't need to continue to deceive you all.”I persuaded, but to my surprise, no one was ready to even listen to me as they kept glaring at me like I was talking gibberish.I went close to Jasmine, trying to drag her.“You lunatic, what are you trying to do, and w
