Four years have passed, she gets a gig in a bachelor’s party. Much to her surprise, there she meets the man who is one of the reasons why her life turned into shambles—her ex-boyfriend, Kionno Morikawa, the bachelor billionaire.

Prologue

“Come on, no one will know it’s you!” Michaela pushed me towards the walk-in closet to change into the sultry set of clothes that she prepared for me. She was quick to close the door even before I was able to react. I let out a groan before shouting back at her, “I told you I’m not doing this!” “For the record, you agreed a while ago. You can no longer take back what you said,” she replied, which immediately made me sigh in frustration. I agreed because I thought I’d only be performing in a regular event, which usually what my gigs are about. I never knew it would be in a freaking bachelor’s party! I don’t want to dance with someone’s soon-to-be-husband! I’m a performer, not a stripper. “You’ll just be dancing to three songs, okay? Three songs for 20k! Where will you ever find a gig that will pay you that much money for three songs to dance to?” I heard her say as I was eyeing the pieces of clothing that I am holding in my hand. “You told me you need the money!” “Yes, but—“ “No

Chapter One

I feel like I’m being stalked. There’s this silhouette that I see in my peripheral vision following me whenever I go out. The only place that I feel safe is my own apartment, but I still make sure to double lock the doors. I have already experienced being stalked before. Working in this industry, it can’t be helped being surrounded by perverted men who can’t take no for an answer. Sometimes they’d follow me for a few hours, a few days. However, this time’s different. It has been three weeks since I felt like I’m being followed.It has also been three weeks since the bachelor’s party happened and me seeing Kio. Seeing him after all those years ignited something inside me. Anger. The need for revenge.I let out a sigh before changing into a fresh set of clothes, getting ready for bed. The apartment has been too quiet since Michaela moved out. We used to share a two-room apartment before, but now she’s already staying with her fiancé.I moved to a different apartment, closer to Vivi’s

Chapter Two

When I opened my eyes, I quickly closed them because of the bright lights. It took a few seconds before my eyes adjusted.Where am I? I looked around, and saw that I am in an unfamiliar room. My eyes widened in realization, remembering what had happened before I passed out.“Shit, shit, shit,” I cursed as my gaze went down to look at my clothes. I am still wearing the clothes I wore, and when I looked at the bedside table, I saw that my scarf is there neatly folded. What happened?My eyes widened the moment I realized that Kio was there when that random guy harassed me! I stood as I felt panic rushing through my system because of that realization. I’m a hundred percent sure that I am in his property right now. He’s a great fighter. That man had no chance against him. We were together for years. I just know what kind of person he is!I felt my head aching, but that did not stop me to look for my things. I picked my scarf up, and looked through the sheets for my phone. I can’t find i

Chapter Three

I stare at the phone Kio bought, realizing I picked it up without thinking before I stormed out of his property. I don’t want to use it nor do I want to touch it. In fact, I want to return it, but there’s no way I’d want to see that guy again!Should I mail it, then?On a second thought, he already gave it to me so it means it is legally my property now. I can just pretend I found it somewhere else. Besides, I can no longer salvage my phone, and I need one.I stare at it for a whole minute more before finally picking it up, and getting the phone off the box. It is pretty, and really looks expensive. It’s even in my favorite color, which is pink. I can still remember how I can easily get the newest phone models before everything happened. I can’t believe that I’m smiling over this phone now. I really don’t want anything that has to do with that guy, but I can’t just return it.I pouted before turning it on. I can’t help but feel excited as I am staring at its animation.I set it up, a

Chapter Four

“Come on! You’ll be even more depressed when you stay here all day. You don’t even take a bath anymore,” Michaela commented. She is now dressed in a body-fitting red dress. “Vivi’s old enough to decide on her own. She’s no longer a child. Come on, give yourself a break.”I frowned even more. Even if she says that, I still can’t give myself a break! It has been a week since Vivi ran away from home, and I have already tried contacting her friends that I know, but they’d either tell me they know nothing or ignore me at all.I’m getting more and more restless day-by-day. I even tried waiting for her in the entrance of her university, but to no avail. Sure, she’s already an adult, but she’s still my sister! I still feel responsible for her.“How many times had she left without telling you? She barely even lives here,” Michaela said.“She always comes back, though.”“Then she will come back! So give yourself a favor, and at least come with me and enjoy the night. My treat. You’ve been too

Chapter Five

I didn’t have a dreamless sleep.In my sleep, I was dreaming of the night Kionno proposed to me.Although I used to like having people’s attention, he knew I wanted occasions like that to be intimate. He also knew I liked the sea so we got into one of their family-owned yachts dressed in our matching clothings. I was wearing a champagne-colored long dress that was sitting at the top of my ankles. It sparkled just as how the sea sparkled under the moon that night. Meanwhile, Kionno was wearing a champagne-colored suit, his hair combed neatly. It was one of my most magical memories. We had the area all by ourselves, our favorite song—Through the Years by Kenny Rogers playing in the background, good food cooked by Kionno himself, and of course, an intimate proposal. There were tears in the corners of his eyes as he asked the question. “Danielle West…my Dani…will you marry me?”I remembered not having to think about my answer, the sensation of the cold ring around my finger, and the sen

Chapter Six

For the past years, the world felt so big for me. Probably the reason for that was because I barely got anywhere else aside from my apartment and the locations of my gigs. There were no more vacations, no more road trips. In an instant, my world started revolving around survival.Being outside the country even seems like a dream for me now. I feel like there are even more places in the world that my gaze would never reach. I don’t know what changed, but ever since I met Kio once again, the world feels so small. It even feels like everyone I know now lives a few hundred meters away from me. Once I was out to buy a bottle of shampoo, and I bumped into Kionno! I don’t know what he was doing in that small convenience store when he literally lives an extravagant life in the metro. He even has the money to be anywhere else in the world right now. Tell me why he was in my small town?! He couldn’t be stalking me, right?”You’re buying that? You hate that brand,” he commented, eyeing the bott

Chapter Seven

It was a Saturday when I realized that I now needed to work or else I’ll die. It might’ve been an exaggeration, but as I was staring at the last dollars in my account, I realized that I wouldn’t be able to last another week, especially when apparently, finding someone also costs money.With all honesty, I really didn’t want to go back to that field of work anymore, especially now that someone has been stalking me. I also know that it’s not just about my safety though… Somehow, I have been thinking about Kio’s pep talk. Even when I hate to admit it, he was right.But what can I really do?’Maybe eat your pride, and accept his offer?’ a part of me said, which made me frown. It was honestly tempting, but I didn’t want to accept any more of his help. I wanted to remind myself that he was one of the reasons why my life started falling apart. I don’t care how many years it has been…I despise him. “Are you really sure, girl? I can lend you money for the meantime, you know. You don’t have to

Chapter Eight

Kionno was my first love, my first everything. I experienced almost every single thing I wanted to experience with him. At some point, he was my world. I saw myself spending the rest of my life with him. But life isn’t a fairytale. It is not automatically a happy ending when the princess meets her prince because maybe…he isn’t really her prince to begin with.When we broke up, and my life started going downhill, I became so fixated with survival that I swore to myself never to let my guards down again. I swore never to date anyone or even be friends with anyone of the opposite sex.Of course there have been a lot of men who tried climbing up my walls, but I knew better. I knew that they only like what they see from the outside. I knew they would dump me once they got whatever they wanted from me.So I’m not really certain why I agreed to grab some snacks with Isaac in the first place. Maybe I loosened up a bit when he didn’t judge me because of my work, especially when the majority of

Chapter Nine

I immediately stood up from my seat, eyes wide, still staring at the screen of my phone. It felt like someone just splashed me a gallon of cold water.Please no… God, please…I wouldn’t know what I’d do if something bad happens to her. I’d rather want it to be me at a gun point than my little sister.I didn’t have to reply to Michaela’s text because she sent another message containing the link of the newly-published article.‘I didn’t want to send this to you, especially at this hour because you might freak out. Please have some rest for now, and I’ll go with you to that location when the sun’s up,’ she added. There was no way I’d be able to rest after that news. I clicked the link, and read as much as I can to know more about the case. It was the body of a girl in her early 20s. She had nothing else with her, not even her clothes. She was just dumped on a bridge like some sort of garbage, as if she wasn’t a human being who lives her own life; as if she was some sort of an animal. H
