"Damn Aline," I grumble under my breath, envisioning, with increasing temptation, silencing her with the very object of her assault. Her behavior, uncouth and wild, has escalated in its madness."Luna, your indiscretion with Rafe is unforgivable," Aline taunts, her smirk dripping with malice.Her vindictiveness is not news to me, yet her recent actions border on the extreme."You can't insult me indefinitely, Aline," I retort, maintaining my composure.Her laughter, a scornful sound, rings out as she squares her stance, regarding me as one would a lesser being."Do you understand who I am?" she challenges with arrogant superiority. "I am the President's daughter. My father leads this nation, while yours is nothing more than a pitiful gambler.""Aline!" I exclaim, my patience waning.Approaching, she presses a finger to my chin, her contempt palpable."You're resilient, like a cockroach, hard to exterminate. Even my previous attempts have failed."I push her hand away, only to be met w
Without hesitation, I confessed that I had been secretly reading his private writings. I looked at Rafe, searching for a reaction. Remarkably, his expression remained unchanged, betraying no emotion."I stumbled upon the part about your initial fondness for Aline," I revealed.This revelation brought back a childhood memory of Aline begging Rafe to be her romantic partner. Little did anyone know that this innocent request would unleash a mysterious force that would irrevocably intertwine their fates."I wrote these words to preserve the past," Rafe began, his eyes filled with the weight of distant memories."Did I ever tell you of my extraordinary experience at the age of five? The sudden appearance of past life memories?" he asked, and I nodded in agreement."It was an unusual event, but I felt its significance. So I documented every detail," Rafe continued.Recently, Rafe had become more forthcoming with me, but now it seemed he was ready to reveal his entire story."But to this day
In the subdued light of the living room, Rafe and I settled into an uneasy dialogue that revolved around the enigmatic nature of the Alpha Oath. Rafe's curiosity, heightened by anticipation, broke the silence."Remind me, what exactly is the Alpha Oath?" he asked, though the concept had been a recurring theme in our discussions."It's essentially the werewolf's most revered commitment," I repeated, aware that Rafe's repetitive questioning was more about anchoring our focus than seeking clarification.Rafe's memory then flashed back to an earlier conversation. "And what did you encounter in the forest?" he asked, his tone reflecting a sudden recollection.In that dense forest, my encounter had been extraordinary: a colossal black wolf proclaiming himself the first of his kind to be reborn. "I met a wolf claiming to be the first reincarnation," I revealed, noticing Rafe's nod of understanding.We delved into werewolf lore, where each reincarnation serves as a link to the root of our pre
"If so, how can we demonstrate this genuine love? Rafe asked me, and this has been the question that has been in my head for the last hour or so."The concept of pure love is quite unique, and I don't have a clue how to do it myself.I mean, how do you show that you have pure love in your heart? And most of all, what does pure love look like?"Maybe we should start with the definition", I joked a little to break the ice. Rafe just smiled a little.Not knowing what else to say, Rafe and I fell into silence again. It was a long time before Rafe finally opened his mouth to say something."What about the hand holding?" Rafe questioned.It was a question similar to those asked by elementary school kids who didn't yet understand what loving was and so on."Is this your idea of being a child again?" I asked Rafe and he just gave me a little nod of his head."Yes."Rafe pulled my hand and held it softly. This was unique, even just holding hands now I had a fluttery feeling."How does it feel?
"Should we try another route?" I asked, locking eyes with Rafe amid the confusion that prevailed - a scene repeated countless times."Explore how, exactly?""To establish the authenticity of our deep love," I repeated to Rafe."And how might we accomplish that?" Rafe shot back.There was a pause as Akyu pondered, exploring possibilities that might validate our unwavering love."How about we think of something to show our gratitude for this happy meeting?" I suggested to Rafe.Rafe fell into a contemplative silence, his stillness revealing his deep thought."Agreed," Rafe finally replied.In the silence that followed, I found myself pondering the hypotheticals of a life without Rafe. Would my existence have been doomed or perhaps better?"I am fortunate to have crossed paths with Rafe. Without him, the trajectory of my life remains an unfathomable mystery," I mused inwardly, a silent confession to myself.Memories of our trip to Singapore surfaced, and the stark contrast of attending R
In the tension-filled atmosphere of our heated conversation, Rafe's declaration that he was seeking a divorce from Aline struck a chord that struck a chord of silence in me. It was a major move, especially considering Aline's father's high-profile role as president. My concern bubbled to the surface. "Are you sure about this?" I asked. The idea seemed rash, almost reckless.Rafe's answer was filled with a sense of newfound clarity: "I'm tired of being a pawn in someone else's game. " It was obvious that the undoing of whatever spell had clouded his judgment had revealed a man of judgment and resolve.Before I could digest this revelation, the sound of approaching footsteps from the front yard interrupted us. Aline's arrival was unmistakable.The door burst open and Aline's frustrated voice echoed through the room. "Rafe! Where are you?" I remembered how Rafe had deliberately brought Aline to the hotel to create a private space for our conversation.When Aline burst in, her disbelief w
I had a look at Aline's laptop and immediately checked it. As usual, the stock charts and so on were opened up."What's that supposed to mean?" I wondered.I opened Aline's purchase history and wrote down the names and codes of the stocks."Twenty million dollars for just this one stock?" I whispered to myself. I read the name of the company Aline had bought.I had never even heard of a company that was famous enough to have such a name. Somehow I had a feeling that something was not quite right."It doesn't make any sense for someone to buy so many shares in a company that is unknown to me".Unsure of my analysis, I had a look at the company's web site. It had a very ugly and unorganized look. Even the design had the look and feel of a high school student's work."This is so unprofessional", for a company in which Aline bought $20 million of shares, it was obvious that the company's website was not up to par.I remembered that my preferred fiction reading site was better.That was no
I saw Aline's laptop and immediately checked it. As usual, the stock charts and so on were opened up."What are these stocks?" I wondered.I wrote down the names and codes and opened Aline's history of buying and selling."Twenty million dollars for just this one stock?" I whispered to myself. I read the name of the company Aline had bought.I had never even heard of a company that was famous enough to have such a name. Somehow I had a feeling that something was not quite right."There's no point in somebody buying that many shares in an obscure company."Unsure of my analysis, I had a look at the company's web site. It had a very ugly and disorganized look. Even the design had the look and feel of a high school student's work."This is so unprofessional." For a company that Aline had bought twenty million dollars worth of shares in, it was obvious that the company's website was not up to standard.I remembered that my favorite novel reading site was better than this one.That was not
"You know, Miss Luna has made significant contributions to the rural communities of Borneo by establishing numerous educational institutions," is a statement that captures the essence of local discussions. Luna's charitable efforts, known throughout the region, have had a significant impact on this large Asian island.In her own words during an interview, Luna expressed her desire to give back to the community that has supported her, saying, "My life has been greatly enriched by the people here, and I feel compelled to return their kindness. Luna's motivations go beyond this singular sentiment, however.Known for orchestrating various charitable activities, Luna has a reputation for building not only schools but also hospitals and actively participating in various humanitarian endeavors.A recent event illustrates her prominence: a throng of journalists gathered around her, each eager to ask their pressing questions. In the midst of the crowd, one reporter took the opportunity to ask
The long awaited day has finally arrived. Today is the wedding of the son of the richest man, a prominent business tycoon. The atmosphere is one of joy and celebration, enhanced by a clear, sunny sky that seems to bless the couple's union.As they stand before their loved ones, Rafe looks lovingly into Luna's eyes and vows, "I accept your love and promise to love you for the rest of my life. Their love, pure and strong, resonates with everyone in the room.The crowd erupts in cheers as they witness this sacred bond being formed. But amidst the jubilant atmosphere, a lone figure stands in a corner of the party room, tears streaming down his face.Recognizing him, Luna calls out, "Faghri," but quickly corrects herself with a respectful tone, "Ah, I mean Mr. President. Her smile is bright and inviting.Faghri, overwhelmed with emotion, returns Luna's smile sincerely, his tears a testament to the depth of his feelings on this momentous occasion.It was obvious that Faghri still harbored s
We visited my grandmother's grave and found the place unkempt. As Rafe had mentioned, her grave had remained intact, contradicting my belief that it had been torn down due to the surrounding new construction."Luna, come on," Rafe urged, leading me to the cemetery.I grabbed some tools and started clearing the overgrown grass."Why hasn't this cemetery been torn down?" I asked, aware of the ruthless business tactics often employed these days, where even homes are not spared for the sake of profit."The company that owns the adjacent property is having financial difficulties," Rafe informed me.Then he added, "I plan to buy all that land," leaving me stunned."Thank you," I said, realizing that expressing gratitude had become a habit for me. I truly appreciated all that he had done.After tending to the grave, Rafe and I decided to dine at a nearby restaurant. Its simple charm was refreshing, a reminder of how much I missed such unpretentious places.Having spent the past month indulgi
I never thought it would end. The last few months have been really exhausting for me and I'm glad they're finally over."Luna, what are you going to wear?" Rafe asked as he approached me with a group of people behind him. They seemed to be famous fashion designers."What do you think would look good on me?" I replied, bringing out Rafe's playful side."Anything looks good on you, Luna," he flirted, earning nothing more than a playful flick of my tongue in return. Rafe laughed heartily, his demeanor so different from before.He seemed much more alive and approachable now, almost like a new person."Did you hear about Faghri? He's going to run for president," Rafe announced, taking me completely by surprise. Faghri, once notorious for his ruthless ways, had transformed himself into a respectable figure, and now he was eyeing the presidency."Rafe, you're serious, aren't you?" I asked, looking for confirmation in his expression. He nodded solemnly, confirming the surprising news."I'm se
That morning, the shocking news reverberated across all media platforms, sending waves of disbelief around the world. Television programs, newspapers, and online outlets all carried the same headline: "Assassination at the President's Office: President Etas fatally shot by trusted aide". The uniformity of the reports, which all followed the same chronology, was striking, with not a single source challenging the narrative of President Etas' untimely demise.In stark contrast to this grim news, a more personal story was unfolding in an old but grand home. Here, Rafe and Aline were seen in a tender embrace, their affection evident in front of Rafe's parents. The atmosphere was one of familial warmth and impending change."Rafe, have you decided who you are going to marry?" inquired Rafe's father, a hint of expectation in his voice. Rafe's answer was a nod, followed by a frank admission, "Legally, I am married to Luna. But in matters of the heart, not yet." His words revealed a complicate
The presidential palace was eerily quiet that day, a stark contrast to the tightly secured perimeter outside. Inside, however, the atmosphere in the President's private chamber was anything but calm.Aline's father, the President, was visibly seething with rage. His face was contorted with rage, the veins on his neck were pronounced, and his body tensed as if ready to spring into action. The anger inside him had reached a boiling point."Bastards! I'll kill them all," he roared, the words thick with raw emotion.The tragic death of his daughter Aline had devastated him. Ironically, he had denied her Secret Service protection out of respect for her wishes to engage in something illegal, a decision he now bitterly regretted."I swear, everyone involved will pay," he bellowed, his tone dripping with vehemence.In a fit of desperation, he threw a paper across his desk, his demeanor mirroring that of someone lost in a terrifying episode of unbridled madness.At that moment, there was a ten
On the other side of the picturesque park where love once blossomed, next to a quiet street, Faghri sat alone, lost in thought."It seems I took too long to realize it," he murmured to himself, reflecting on his past mistakes.It was a moment of deep regret for Poria. He lamented that he had not met Luna earlier and thought about a different fate."If I had met Luna earlier, would I have been the one she loved?" Faghri wondered aloud.He sat brooding in solitude, struggling with a fate that seemed inexplicable and unfair."Never mind," he finally sighed, trying to accept what he couldn't change.As tears trickled down his cheeks, Faghri quickly wiped them away, trying to regain his composure.Looking back, he noticed that Luna and Rafe had returned. They seemed to have reconciled and returned to normal. Faghri watched them, a mixture of relief and sadness in his heart."How was it? Was the curse finally lifted?" asked Faghri, trying to maintain a calm and undisturbed demeanor regardin
Luna chased Rafe to the edge of the highway, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Rafe stood dangerously close to the edge, his eyes a lifeless gray that reflected his apparent resignation to ending his life."Rafe!" Luna's voice broke through the tense air, a mixture of fear and relief coloring her tone.Rafe turned, his expression one of disbelief. "Why are you here?" he asked, his words laced with disbelief.Without a word, Luna delivered a powerful punch to Rafe's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned. Her voice, trembling with a cocktail of emotions, scolded him, "What's the point of us surviving all this time if you're just going to throw your life away?"As Rafe looked at her, his eyes changed, darkening with a resurgence of hatred. "Luna...go away. I don't want to kill you," he said softly, his voice strained with the effort of suppressing his darker impulses.It was all because of the Alpha Oath that Rafe harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge agai
I opened the letter Faghri had just given me. It was a letter written directly from Rafe, who was nowhere to be found.**To Luna,I know I've caused you a lot of trouble. I selfishly planned to save us both from this terrible fate, but now I realize that may not be possible. It seems that one of us must make a sacrifice, and I have chosen to be the one to do so.Luna, perhaps we will meet again in our next reincarnation, hopefully free of this curse. Before I met you, I lived a lonely life, but your presence brought color to my world.For you, Luna, I cannot break the Alpha Oath. After Aline's death, my desire for revenge has grown. I am torn between wanting to hurt you and loving you.You no longer need to look for me. If my father asks, please give him this letter. I do not want to bring suffering to anyone, so I have decided to end my life.I believe the waves will take me to the next life.Thank you, Luna.**The message ended with my heart racing wildly. This message was a clear
