“That’s not my baby.” His voice echoed through the room, sharp and cold, slicing through the warm, celebratory atmosphere we’d carefully set up. Everyone went still, and I felt my heart lurch, every beat heavy with disbelief. I stared at him with wide eyes, hoping I’d misheard. “What?” The word barely escaped my lips, a fragile whisper. He didn’t even flinch. “That is not my baby,” he repeated, louder, as if to make sure everyone—his family, all gathered here—would hear. *** Darla was rejected by her fiance three months before her wedding claiming that she was sleeping with other men. She was humiliated and kicked out by his family despite her pregnancy, returning home, she was met with the tragic accident of her whole family. Not only did she lose her family and fiance in one night but she was also found out that her fiance was getting married to his claimed cousin. She vowed to take revenge on them and win back everything that belongs to her.

Roy’s POV“What’s on your mind, buddy?”King’s voice cut through my thoughts, but I barely registered it. His beer bottle clinked softly against the table as he leaned back into his chair, watching me.It was already past three in the afternoon, and I was on my third bottle—maybe fourth. I wasn’t even sure anymore.I thought coming here—having a few drinks with the boys—would help clear my head. It didn’t.We were sitting in the VIP section of Rooftop Bar, a place I had been to countless times before, but today, it felt suffocating. The blue fluorescent lights flickered every few seconds, casting shadows across the table, matching the haze in my mind. The thick, drawn curtains blocked out any sunlight, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.A fitting atmosphere for the way I felt inside.I had to get her out of my head.But I couldn’t.Darla.From the minute she crashed my anniversary, I hadn’t been able to think of anything else.Her voice.Her words.The way she l
Ethan POV:My knuckles had turned red the moment I stepped out of the car, my fingers clenched so tightly that the veins beneath my skin protruded like strained cables. I flexed my hand absently, trying to shake the tension away, but it was pointless. It was embedded too deep.The car ride was mortifying, the low hum of conversation between John and Carlo barely registering in my mind. Their voices melded into the background, mere noise compared to the chaos raging inside my head.Darla.She was right there. Right in front of me. And yet, the moment our eyes met, she turned and ran. As if I were something to be avoided. As if I were nothing. How many fucking times was she going to keep running from me.I exhaled sharply, my jaw tightening. I could never forget that face—those eyes, the way her lips parted in that fleeting second before she bolted like a coward. My chest burned with something I didn’t want to name.Anger?Frustration?Pain?I swallowed hard, my pulse pounding as I tri
DarlaThe shrill ringing of my alarm clock crashes into my skull like a hammer against glass. A groan escapes my lips as I blindly reach for my phone on the dresser, my fingers fumbling until they close around it. The moment my eyes focus on the screen, my heart nearly stops.9:12 AM.I bolt upright, the sudden movement sending a violent pulse of pain through my skull. Shit. Shit. Shit. My meeting is at 10 AM. How could I have let this happen? I was supposed to wake up early, prepare myself, go over my notes one last time—but instead, I drowned myself in alcohol like an idiot, fully aware of what was waiting for me in the morning.A wave of nausea washes over me, my head spinning so intensely it feels like the room is tilting. I squeeze my temples as if that will somehow hold my brain together. This is what you get, Darla. This is what you get for drinking yourself into oblivion.Gritting my teeth, I force myself to stand. The floor feels uneven beneath me, but I push forward, stumbli
DarlaRevenge is a slow burn, a fire that starts in the pit of your stomach and spreads until it consumes you whole. People warn against it, say it will rot you from the inside out, but what they don’t tell you is how exhilarating it feels. The rush. The satisfaction. The raw power of watching the people who wronged you crumble beneath the weight of their own sins.I never knew how intoxicating it could be—until tonight.The way their expressions twisted, shifting from shock to anger, and finally settling into pure hatred. At least, hers did.Esther.God, she hates me. It’s written all over her perfectly made-up face, hidden beneath layers of artificial charm. The way she clutched Roy’s arm, fingers digging into his sleeve like I was a ghost that had come back to haunt her. And maybe I was. Maybe I wanted to be.I can’t stand her.Not just because she married my fiancé, but because she stole the life I was supposed to have. The love. The family I had envisioned. She walked in and took

The room seemed to close in on me, and what was supposed to be our happiest moment had turned into a public spectacle.“Do you think you can trap me with this?” His voice was laced with disdain.Trap him?I felt the words hit like stones, disbelief twisting in my stomach. This was Roy, my fiancé, the man I’d been with since college. We’d dreamed together, talked about the beach wedding I’d always wanted, set for three months from now. We had planned a future. He was my first love, the man I’d given everythin...
