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?

CHAPTER 1

A NEW LIFE AFTER COMA

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.

Interesting character development. I love what the author did with the story of Nandin and the self-absorbed, handsome ex-husband of hers. It was definitely an interesting read for me.

MEMORY LANENADIN'S POVWaking up after I passed out, my eyes were blurry. Again, it was as if I were beginning to recollect some memories.The once-hazy memories that filled my mind with indistinguishable and unspoken words were not the case any longer because some thoughts were coming to my mind.The thoughts of so many things that were too much for me to bear at once made tears well up in my eyes.As I lay in bed, I felt the already-accumulated tears running down my face.I barely wiped them off, but they kept falling uncontrollably.It took me only one memory flash to remember the type of married life I had been exposed to.And yes, I can now recall the faces and voices of the man and the lady I had seen in the corridor a few hours ago.That was my ex-husband, Ethan Archer, the one who divorced to be with my step sister, Bella, the same lady I met with him outside.Everything played in my head like a movie, but I knew they were all real.The last thing I could remember before I go

WELCOME TO OUR HOMENADIN'S POV“Congratulations on your discharge, Miss! Since you will be leaving today, I decided to bring you lots of goodies.” Luciano warmly greeted the moment he got and carefully kept the items beside me.I couldn't help but smile at him and say, "Thank you so much.” Admiring the flower bouquet, a basket full of chocolates, snakes, packaged food, a gift card, and a hand reflex ball.“You are always welcome.” He said it with a broader smile.The flowers looked so familiar, like the one I had beside me when I first woke up from a coma.I had asked the nurse, and I learned Luciano was the one who got it for me while I was in a coma.I wouldn't even lie; I think the fragrance had activated my recovery out of coma, because tell me why its sweet fragrance is like it could wake the dead.I took the flowers. I love everything about it.I noticed they had the same fragrance as the last one they'd taken away, that I confirmed who had brought it from the nurse.After that

TOO HARD TO LET GONADIN'S POVBeing in the room alone that same evening.It just occurred to me while I had some moments of serenity that I was 4 weeks pregnant which I intended to keep away from Ethan, even before the divorce and then subsequently the acid incidentHe had always insisted he was not ready to have kids while we were married, so there was no need of letting him know about it then.Then, he made sure we used protection while getting intimate, but I had to find a way to secure his sperm from the cond*m, the last time we did.The whole experience I've had is beginning to reflect again as if it just happened the previous day.And I was sure the doctor must have flushed it out once they discovered it because of my condition then.I wouldn't want to discuss that with anyone, not even Luciano because that was not necessary.Besides, the doctor must have let him know before doing so.I looked out the blurred window, not far from where I sat on my bed, and noticed the rainstorm

Chapter 5. TOO LATE FOR REGRETS
ETHAN’S POV “What do I have on my table for the day aside from my usual schedule?” I asked my assistant, Sandra, the moment I got to the office. “Okay, boss. You need to attend the meeting with the company's executives. Secondly, you have a scheduled appointment with Smith Group's manager. Lastly, there is the second annual celebration banquet that is organized by the state's powerhouse, and your presence is mandatory.” "Okay, then, that's fine.” “Excuse me, sir,” she cut me off politely. “Lest I forget, the interview for the position of secretary was meant to be today, but since HR hasn't gotten what she wants from the ones that submitted their CVs online, the interview was moved to tomorrow.” “That is okay. You know what? Cancel the meeting and appointment, respectively, and then reschedule. As for the celebration, I can always go there once I get back from Nadin’s tomb. I'd love to visit there today. Today marks one year since she died.” Just immediately, I wiped the one tea

CHAPTER 6. MINGLING DOESN'T HURT.
JASMINE’S POVComing back from the cemetery, where I had to pay some respect to my late dad, it was a different feeling altogether.Perhaps because this was the first time I was doing that.I felt pain all over again, like, why would they attempt to kill me and then go as far as having a fake tomb for me with my name, ‘Nadin Scott,’ fully written on it?Well, that was what it should be, as they carried the news that I was dead. In retrospect, it wasn't clear to me why Ethan was there.Like, what does he have to do with us after conspiring for our deaths?Hasn't he done enough already?Thank God, I left immediately I noticed him even before he got close. That could be a mess because he might start suspecting things, and I don't want that.At the grave, I had promised my dad that I would make Ethan fall for me again, and then I would abandon him and probably kill him if I had my way. Same with my stepmother and stepsister. But before then, I will make them experience the taste of losing

CHAPTER 7. A TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
JASMINE’S POVGetting to the celebration banquet, it was indeed a beautiful sight to behold. The chandelier and blinking lights were all there to adorn the space and make it look inviting.I noticed that the colors of the day were red for females and black for males.Influential figures were dressed in their best attire while walking down the plush red carpet set out for them.In essence, the guests were looking all dashing, but then I wasn't an exception in my outfit, which I matched with a deep-plunging necklace and heels that complimented it.All thanks to Luciano, as if he knew the personalities that would grace the occasion. I must confess, it was as if I were the center of attention, as every eye that glanced at me would certainly want to take a second.Nevertheless, it was nobody's fault. I took a look at myself in the mirror before I stepped out, and my breath hitched at that point. Based on my appearance, I felt gorgeous.So, I must say that I was worth all the glances.To th

CHAPTER 8. WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE?
ETHAN’S POV.My assistant, Ms. Sandra, knocked at my office, and then I permitted her to come inside.“Sir, I have come to present to you the new secretary the company has hired, like you asked me to when we were done with the interview.”Even before she came in, I was expecting her to do that. I had my eyes fixed on the laptop and gestured for them to sit down so I could submit a pending document before attending to them. After I finally clicked the forward icon, I raised my face to behold the new secretary.My expression was slightly strained in anger as I noticed it was the same lady from the previous day at the banquet, the same one who almost embarrassed my fiancée, Bella, before everyone.Before I could say anything, she greeted me formally, “Hello, Mr. Ethan.”I finally came up with words after my mouth opened and closed as if I were searching for the right words: “Miss Jasmine, right? You again?” Trust me, that was the most I could say as I pulled my tongue in disinterest, my

Chapter 9. YOU ARE A BETTER SLUT
JASMINE'S POVThe first day at work wasn't boring at all; I enjoyed every single thing they were getting me to know before I would start my job.My office was just before Ethan's assistant's, and then you get to Ethan's own, as he is the boss.I could remember that he asked me to see him before I left and I have to do that right away. I can't even guess what he wants to say to me this time. But regardless, I will have to face it head-on.As soon as I got to his office and approached his table, he stood up from his chair and moved close to me.“Miss Jasmine, I had gone through the little piece of paper you had given me, several times after you left my office. And all I can say is that it's quite resourceful.”I tried to turn around to leave because it was too early to start up with him, but then he gently pushed me to the end of a nearby wall and held my waist.I smiled at him. “How could one get close to you without tricks?”His brows creased a bit. “Don't smile like that at me again.

Chapter 10. YOU ARE INDEED MYSTERIOUS
Ethan's POV“I hope you don't believe all the trash she just spewed now. Because I simply don't understand why she said all of those.”Bella asked as if she already knew what was on my mind, which I held back because Jasmine was around at the time. At least, I needed to give Bella that respect.“Bella,” I called out from where I was already seated on my office seat while Bella sat across, my voice firm and commanding.“I don't have a problem with that, but then it took me down memory lane, and I need to ask some personal questions. All I need from you is the truth about how everything happened back then, and nothing more.”“What truth, Ethan?” She asked, narrowing her eyelids tightly, like some sort of guilty conscience.“I mean, how exactly did your dad and step sister, who happened to be my ex-wife; Nadin, die since you were there at the scene with your mom and my dad?”“Baby, we have talked about this over and over again. I don't know what you want to hear from me again this time.”
