Chapter 57 – Thousand Doors
"You're crazy," The first words that came from Sienna's mouth when I told her my plan. "Didn't you tell me before that curiosity killed the cat?" she whispered.
We were lying down on our stomach on the bed, and after telling her I was determined to find out who killed James, she stopped crying, and now her eyes were wide, probably horrified, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing from me.
"Listen, Sienna. It was true that curiosity killed the cat, but somebody said satisfaction brought it back,"
She scratched her head. "I don't understand,"
"If we will find out about his death, the cat could live. We could prevent its death." I explained, but I ended questioning myself because I might be wrong.
She heaved a sigh and stared at me, but she didn't say anything.
"Sienna, if I don't do this, it's either Albert or me would be next," I pressed my lips, but I knew it was true.
Gawking at me, Sienna opened her mouth, then closed it again

It may be completely dark, but with the lamp posts in the park, I could see movements from the trees. I narrowed my eyes as I tried to recognize the man standing and looking in the direction of my window.I couldn't be more wrong, but I knew who I saw. He could be in his seventies, but I could still recognize the face. Jane was right, he was the older version of Melvin. My mouth opened in great horror, my heart was throbbing that its beating hurts my chest.Forgetting to close the window, I sprinted to the door and closed it with a loud bang sound. I almost fell from the stairs rushing which surprised everyone. There were only a few people in the living room, my family, Ed, and Jane, and they all looked at me in great surprise.Sienna, who was about to get a slice of pizza, turned to me with a questioning look."Sienna, hurry, open the doors!" I said, ignoring my parents, as I passed them to go to the main door. When my sister didn't move, I screamed at h
Never Again Chapter 59 – Someone Can Help
Seated on the floor of my bedroom, I hugged my knees after checking on my sister. It took us a great deal of time before she stopped crying, and finally, she fell asleep. Who won't get shocked after the incident? She saw the man coming out of nowhere, and she couldn't even talk about it. She refused to sleep in her bedroom, and now she was occupying my bed.Jane came to my room with two cups of hot chocolate in her hands, and following behind her was Ed. They had just finished helping dad check the place, but there was no trace of this person Sienna described.She gave the other cup to me and sat quietly beside me on the floor. I rested my head on her shoulder, then closed my eyes as I comforted myself with the warmth of the cup from the hot chocolate. I could still feel myself shivering from what happened.Ed made himself busy spreading the camping mattress that we were supposed to sleep on while enjoying our little camping in the park, but after what happened,
Never Again Chapter 60 – Play As The Variable
"Whatever it is, let's do it. I want all these to end. Where do we start?" All of a sudden I regret saying this to Albert."M-Marco?" I stuttered as I mentioned his name. I couldn't deny the goosebumps I felt just by merely hearing the name. I despised him, but if he was the last person on earth who could help us, then I would have the face my past the most painful way.His forehead creased and pressed his lips, perhaps to keep himself from talking. He heaved a deep sigh and pulled me closer to him."Are we out of options?" I asked, and at this time I wish I could just wake up and go back to the way things used to be. I would rather put myself, my life in misery than make other people suffer just because of me.Going back in time made everything complicated. I wanted to be happy and change my future, but how could I sleep well at night if it would only affect the people I love.Where will my selfishness lead me? It ached my hea
Never Again Chapter 61 – The First Time
I have not done this before, and maybe if I had done this with Albert, I wouldn't remember that timeline. Even with my ex-husbands, I didn't remember doing this, that was why Jane teased me about having reservations in my relationship. The qualms I had for myself and for them hindered me from giving my all in bed.It was never a requirement in a relationship, right? But today, I want to give my all, my body, my soul, my heart... my everything."Not yet, my love," I whispered, and crawled like a tigress. Although my heart was palpitating with a mix of thrill and fear that he might not like it, I pushed his chest gently for him to lie his back on the floor.I went on top of him."You are scaring me, my tigress, what do you plan to do?" He asked, smiling, but I could tell the desires in his eyes."I love you, Albert," I uttered as I moved my head closer to his face."I love you, Selene," he gasped as my hands started to feel his chest. I smiled
Never Again Chapter 62 – The News
"Enjoying the breakfast, Albert?" teased Sienna. She giggled as she dashed to the kitchen, then opened the refrigerator to get the carton of milk.Our face flustered red. I could still feel the heat rising to my cheeks as I moved away, and he released me from his embrace.Dad put Billy quietly on his high chair, then gave him his favorite toy truck. I avoided his gaze because I already saw this forehead furrowing about what he just witnessed in our kitchen."Early riser?" He asked his eyes on Albert."We didn't have dinner last night, dad," I answered for him before he could talk. "We got hungry, so here we are," I continued, rolling my eyes, then I walked to the oven. I could smell the cheese.He raised his hands in the air as if trying to say he didn't mean anything from his question. I guess I was too guilty to react like that to him. I sometimes forget I was in a nineteen-year-old body, and not the old me.Mom was still quiet. She was lo
Never Again Chapter 63 – Changing Time
"Albert," I croaked as I called his name. We have to hurry to the hospital before it's too late. I didn't care about Marco, but Philip is very important to him. He already lost Charles, and losing another brother is too much.He was in shock. His lips parted as he stared blankly at the TV screen."Albert!" I shook his shoulders. This time I screamed in front of him, startling everybody.He blinked, then nodded."Ah... The car key," He said to the guy in uniform. He nodded, but Ed raised his hand, taking the key inside his pocket."I'll drive. We'll use my car," said Ed, patting him on the shoulder.He nodded, still unable to say anything."We are ready sir, where to?" Hubert, the older guy asked Ed."To the hospital," I answered. He nodded and talked to the radio. I was surprised he didn't wait for Albert's answer. Maybe he knew that at this time, he was not in his mind to make a sound decision."We'll follow you there,"
Never Again Chapter 64 – A Bitter Goodbye
Marco was crazy, making up stories to shake me. I shook my head again and smirked at him. I looked at him straight in the eye, and he met mine with a mock. I clenched my teeth and balled my fist in anger. "Listen to me carefully, Selene. You had an affair with Melvin!" He said in a mix of disappointing and angry tones. No, I wasn't.Why would I have an affair with Melvin when I was too in love with Albert? What had happened in that future? My arms went weak that I slowly released Albert, and this time stared with horror at Marco. I shook my head. It couldn't be, and sure he was lying again, this time to both of us. "It looks like the princess didn't know a thing?" He laughed as he took another cigarette. "I wonder if James was even your son, Albert?" I darted my eyes on him, mortified at that thought that James could be Melvin's son, but he clearly told me that he was the father, but was it another lie? I was hoping Albert would fill in
Never Again Chapter 65 – Life Without You
Did I have a cardiac arrest? I felt like my heart stopped pumping blood to my body that I felt an excruciating pain in my chest. I suddenly felt weak from what Marco had said. No, it can't be. It was easier to accept if Melvin had opened the door to get me back if we genuinely had an affair. My tears raced down my cheeks as I witnessed Marco slowly fading away. "No...no... no!" I cried and shook my head. "Tell us first, who opened the door? Who changed the past?" I was on my feet, ready to run. He has to live, just a little more.Then, for the last time, Marco stabbed me painfully with his words. "Your husband did. Albert opened the door. He was the one who changed everything,"I continuously shook my head in disbelief. "I'm... I'm not finished yet," I stammered as I ran towards the elevator. I had to get to the operating room. As much as I would like him to die, now was the moment that I needed him alive. In between my sobs, I pressed the
