When one door closes, another one will always open, as Avita discovered.She created a business after losing her job at the accounting firm. Although business was slow at first, it was gradually picking up, and she can now safely state that everything was OK.Her freelancing business was not doing well, but she was too preoccupied with SmileDream to be as bitter as she had been in the beginning.When she began cheating on Patrick, feeling bad about what she was doing and without sufficient and convincing reasons why hickeys were discovered on her body or why she was no longer as active as she once was, Patrick provided a way out.He stopped coming home early and didn't care about intimacy, which saved her a lot of time.She realized it would be tough for her in the future after having a taste of Miguel. And with Patrick doing everything he could to avoid her, she was happy that her short existence had been protected.Patrick recommended splitting up when things were becoming sour and
A FEW DAYS LATER“……..You've shown me I have reasonsI should love myself (Oh-oh-oh)I'll answer with my breath, my pathThe me of yesterdayThe me of todayThe me of tomorrow(I'm learning how to love myself)With no exceptions, it's all me…..”As a major BTS fan, Avita is constantly singing or humming one of their songs.Naomi, who was standing very next to Avita, couldn't help but wonder what tune Avita was singing. After all, she couldn't even hear the words correctly.When Avita sang in Korean, folks who didn't understand the language assumed she was making a joke.Avita, on the other hand, didn't care what others thought as long as her body, soul, and intellect were all in sync.She loves the song, and it was ideal for the situation she was in at the time.With a bright smile, she tilted her head and gazed at Naomi.Naomi took a defensive stance, ready for whatever Avita had in store for her.She learned a bit about Avita after following her for a while. She would do strange thi
Avita breathed a sigh of relief the next day after the landlord checked the apartment and discovered nothing was wrong.When he was finished, Avita enthusiastically gave over the keys to the flat.A vehicle was waiting for her outside, and it was in this truck that she found the furnishings she was using in the old apartment.She didn't need this furniture because her new house was fully furnished. She didn't want to be reminded of Patrick by retaining this furniture, so she devised a strategy.When the truck driver noticed she was gone, he started the engine and drove away.Naomi arrived to pick up Avita, so the two easily trailed behind the truck."Are you absolutely certain you want to do this?" Naomi asked, still not believing Avita's decision.Avita said with a smile, "Of course, when one has a chance, one should do some good deeds."Naomi couldn't help but look at Avita again. She never imagined that this money-obsessed person would have such a generous heart."Then I thank you
“Wham, bam.”“Damn! How could we have missed this?" As he hit the tree trunk, a tiny man cursed angrily with bulging veins showing on his skin.His companion's attitude was bleak, and he was smoking, so he appeared melancholy."What do you think she'll do if we tell her about this?" the slim man asked his partner."Hahh, knowing her, she won't let us off.""Then what should we do?" the slender man worriedly questioned.The companion stared at the slender man, perplexed, and replied, "Find the child and get rid of her.""How are we going to find her? It's been years, and we still don't have a photo or any information on her.""Yes, there is. We only need to find the peasants who stayed near the mountain. You never know when they might have seen the youngster.""But do you believe the child saw us and is the one threatening the mistress?""It's possible and, at the same time, it can't be. She was young at the time, and if she had seen us, wouldn't she have denounced us to the authoritie
“Vroom, vroom.”The trees swayed from left to right as the car drove down the road. The sound of the wind and traffic accompanied her as she made her way toward a location where she was still unsure whether this was real or not.Lucilla drove straight into this peaceful neighborhood she had heard about but had never visited.Thandani wasn’t a place that was on par with where she was used to living. However, based on the gorgeous residences, she could discern that the neighborhood was far superior to slum or high-density districts. So, the place was quite good.House prices in this neighborhood should range between 600,000 to a million Drynis.This was nothing in comparison to what she was used to, but the fact that she was driving into Thandani to visit a friend made her suspect her friend. How could she afford to live in such a neighborhood?But because her friend wasn't present, she couldn't ask her and had to wait till she arrived at her destination.Lucilla followed the GPS until
ONE HOUR LATER"You've got to be kidding me! Is that anything that happens around here?" Lucilla couldn't stop laughing as she listened to what Avita was saying to her.“Tssss, tssss.”"Haha, how can I lie to you? Imagine my shock when I saw that!" Avita replied as she stir-fried her vegetables before continuing, "Imagine my shock when I saw that!"Lucilla's face was filled with a smile, although her eyes were red from crying, and this sight made her incredibly cute and made one want to bully her.Avita stared at Lucilla, who was crying with joy, and pondered how boring her life had to be for her to laugh so hard at her casual anecdote."This is excessive! I had no idea communities could be that interesting.""Alas, I thought this kind of thing only happened in our noisy neighborhoods, but who would have guessed that it happens everywhere?""It's quite shocking, ae."While Avita finished making lunch for the two, the two girls chatted happily.Avita served the pap, veggies, and beef s
"Have I ever told you anything about my past?" As she stared at Lucilla, Avita asked sadness.Lucilla had looked into it but had never explicitly asked about it, so she shook her head, "No, you haven't. Would you like to talk about it?""If you're interested, I can entertain you for a while," Avita said helplessly, staring at Lucilla with a hopeful expression.With that type of stare, even if Lucilla wasn't eager to listen, she didn't dare to deny her. Despite being defeated by Avita's move, she responded without hesitation, "Sure, I want to know more about you."With Lucilla having taken the bait, Avita wasted no time in repeating what she had told Miguel the night before.These two were father and daughter, and if they included her in their chats one day and the stories weren't the same, wouldn't she be caught that time?Lucilla had no idea she was being fooled at the time, but her eyes were welling up with tears as Avita's childhood was truly terrible, making her feel sorry for the
“Badum, badum.”As she drove into the familiar yard, she found herself with a frantic thumping and racing heart for the first time in over a month.When that lady called excitedly immediately after parting with Lucilla, Avita began to regret softening her heart.Who would have expected that Lucilla would tell her story to Felicia, who then called her and invited her to the mansion to unwind a little?A guilty Avita didn't want to go there, especially since she was sleeping with Miguel without his family knowing.And being in the same spot as her lover, knowing that he will be sharing the same room with his wife and maybe getting intimate, was difficult for Avita.Previously, this didn't matter because she was adamant about never setting foot in that mansion. It was going to be like that as long as she pretended it wasn't happening.She used to have Patrick, and Felicia's presence didn't bother her much, but now, since she was dependent only on Miguel, even seeing Felicia would be diff
Other people betrayed their masters, and as long as they did not betray Vaquesha, they received their rewards as well. Peter, Miguel’s secretary and the man he trusted the most, was one of those people.When Miguel retired, Peter followed suit and retreated into solitude, spending the money he received and being surrounded by his loved ones.Something he could not have done if he had kept working for Miguel when he was dying.Miguel, who was only concerned with his work, had no idea that Peter, the man who served him 24 hours a day, was dying, and it was Miguel’s callous attitude that drove Peter to betray him and begin working with Vaquesha, who promised him a longer life.Everyone is greedy, and Miguel is the most aware of this.Vaquesha appeared in front of Arnold a few years ago and warmed him up, imprinting herself on him so that he would never forget him.This was done so that she might use Lucilla or Arnold as a cover in the future. Being a white moonlight can be useful at time
She, on the other hand, was not going to allow this shift to derail her plans. And, having transformed into what she had become, she began calling herself Vaquesha, a name she discovered among the ancient texts she read to improve her talents and herself.She fell in love with the name the moment she saw it, and she felt it now suited her better than any other name.And because she was living alone, she did not care about names, and her harsh parents never gave her one either.Vaquesha did not have a name until she was fourteen years old, and suddenly having a name made her feel like she belonged, which was a wonderful sensation.Vaquesha realized she needed money, connections, and power to exact her retribution. And she had the funds, but she was too young and needed help with this.And this is how she got the idea to build her own organization, which she did when she founded The Prime Order, a secret organization that took over the world in both legal and unlawful methods.And when
She was just eight years old when her godmother and abusive parents died.She had always despised her parents so much that she did not wish them good. Despite her hatred for those people, she never considered killing or harming them.Even though they beat her, abused her, refused to feed her when she was hungry, and forced her to work all the time, she yearned for them to love her, look at her affectionately, and hug her.She was not a fool, despite her lack of socialization as a child. She could tell what should and should not be done.She simply wanted them to adore her, but they never offered her the opportunity.She ran away from home hoping for a brighter future, and that future was something her godmother could provide for her.She did not know how her godmother and parents met, but she was glad they did because she got to meet someone who made her feel that living was better than dying.Unfortunately, the day she thought she would be saved turned out to be her apocalypse.To sa
‘What is she up to? Is she still alive and well? Do I deserve all this?’These questions have stayed with him since that night.He feels like a coward whenever he remembers how sad and heartbroken, she looked and sounded that night.He had always taken pride in being a strong man and a hero. He saw himself as a man who could do anything he set his mind to.And yet, in only one month, he was rendered useless and helpless, all at the hands of people he knew nothing about.Miguel had always known he was selfish, and he did not care about others as long as it benefited him.He did not expressly commit murder or other horrific crimes to get to where he was, and he was not a saint, either.This is why, when he cheated on his wife and neglected her feelings for him during their marriage, it never disturbed him.But everything changed the night he saw her for the last time. She had made so many sacrifices for him and his family, and yet he just let her go without fighting for her.He recalls
Did she come to regret it? Yes, she is sorry, and it hurts like hell.She felt as if she were being punished for all of the wrongdoings and crimes she committed throughout her life.She attempted to forget the vision every single second after seeing it, but she failed horribly.Even the way she looked at her spouse had changed. How could she bear looking at him with the same affection she had before?Felicia had never been concerned by the fact that he had just returned from one of his mistresses. She would continue to appear personal and virtuous since she was convinced that one day, she would be free of them all.Even after discovering that Avita had cheated on her husband behind her back, she felt sorry for her.However, her attitude toward her husband was about to alter. She was never going to trust him again, but her attitude changed as Avita transformed into someone she had never expected.That is when her horror began.Felicia felt as if she were a joke. To think that the woman
She felt like a joke when she awoke and saw she was still alive. She had no idea how it had gotten to this point.She was born and raised proudly, and yet she found herself in such a terrible position that she just wanted to die.After surviving this ordeal, Lucilla could not help but chastise herself for being selfish, foolish, and, above all, a poor judge of character.Everything began when she set her sights on Takunda, a man she met when she brought Avita to check on her house in the Twin Towers.Takunda was someone she had fallen in love with at first sight. She took it upon herself to discover everything she could about him, and she was certainly impressed.One thing she liked about him was how honest he was at times, and how he made it clear that he was not interested in her, which stung at the moment but she learned to take it quietly.After all, there was no criminal in secretly loving someone even if the sentiments were not reciprocated.Everything should have been perfect,
Vaquesha shook her head as she stared at Miguel, who had fury in his eyes.She had done what she needed to do in the first place, and now that everything was finished, it was time to put everything in order.“I will not be able to see you again, so do not look for me. They also informed me that I should stop seeking them since I would never find them again. They are always watching, and if you continue to pry into their affairs, they will not spare you.”“They said you should be content with what you have or they will take it away from you. So please, please, please let everything go. And forget about me,” she said solemnly.Miguel should quit probing around now that she no longer wants anything to do with Felicia and her family.The longer he goes on, the more he suffers, and the more she remembers rolling in the blankets with her stepfather.It just creeped her out, which was one of the main reasons she did not want to see Miguel again. But she met with him for Felicia’s sake, and i
Felicia was at home, listening to her children tell her about all that had happened while she was away.Fortunately for her, Miguel had informed them that she was on a business trip.They were not very concerned because it was something she would have done before.She was also at home, waiting for her husband and keeping an eye on some questionable servants at the mansion.While she was doing this, she received a message, and her heart sank. Messages had been her terror when the threatening messages began to flood her phone.And after she was released, she was terrified that something bad would happen again, but she still needed to know what was going on, so she opened the message hesitantly, and she quickly regretted it.[I promised you a goodbye gift. One that would make you remember me even after you died and became a ghost. Leave your children alone and go somewhere private to click on the link. If you don’t, I will find out and the repercussions will be severe. I might as well ju
The second Avita vanished without a trace, Miguel realized she was not as naïve as he imagined after she turned into a ghost overnight.She, on the other hand, was not the type to cause him harm. He was certain of it; otherwise, she would have revealed their relationship to his family, and he would be unable to stop it.Another plausible interpretation of this hypothetical narrative was that Avita was threatened by some forces, which explains why she fled without a trace.And now that she was there in front of him with someone, she must have made some type of agreement, and this could be the last time he sees her.Regardless of whether his thoughts were reasonable or not, he still wanted to see her and, at the very least, hear from her why they were in this position.He stood there waiting for her to arrive, which she did after a few minutes of walking.Avita appeared wearing black trousers and a sweatshirt because winter was nearing an end and it was late at night. Her head was cover
