1: The Shattering Truth

Tania||The doctor's words hit me like a sledgehammer: "Tania, I'm afraid you have stage-three cancer. I'm so sorry but you only have three months left to live."Blood drained out of me as the words hovered above my ears. They rang out in my head over and over, finally settling the bitter truth in my brain. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. I couldn't believe it."I am going to die."Warm hands suddenly clutched my shoulders and I turned to find Nicholas, my husband, by my side with pain etched on his features."We will get through this together, Tania. Please don't cry."His words only made it more difficult for me not to cry. His handsome face was a brutal reminder that I was going to leave him soon. And to think we didn't even have a child he could use to remember me by?"I am so sorry, Nicholas... I am sorry," I cried, my words choking in my throat as the pain clutched me.I thought of my sister, whom I had vouched to protect after the death of our parents. I promised that

2: Deception and Despair

Tania||My mind froze as I stared at the paper, the pain within me too strong for me to comprehend what I was holding."Sign it like a good girl and get out of our lives, Tania," Nicholas hissed.The moment he opened his mouth to speak, I felt my senses return but so did my tears. Nicholas has always been a gold-digger, but I thought he loved me enough to forget that side of him. But I was wrong. Everything has been a sham.Anger suddenly filled me, and I squeezed the paper hard in my hand.“I won’t let you do this, Nicholas. Not to me and not my sister—”“Oh please, Tania. Worry about you. I want Nicholas. I love him. I have loved him long before you came to the picture.”“He's using you, Eloise!” I cried out, my heart shattering at her childish words. “Nicholas doesn't love you; he only wants control of your finances!”Eloise's face twisted in anger. “You're just jealous, Tania! You stole him from me, and now that you're dying, you can't bear the thought of me having him back!”Shoc

3: Desperation and Deceit

Tania||Confusion flooded my insides as the police officer's words echoed in the room.There were three police officers: one man and two women. I called them a few minutes ago to come pick up Nicholas, yet the man, whom I believed was their chief had just spoken nonsense. Because how else could I explain this type of blunder?“Please, take her away,” the man suddenly added, snapping me out of my thoughts.The female officers started coming towards me and my eyes expanded in panic. “This is a mistake. I called you here.” I said through my panic and confusion, but it all fell on deaf ears.“Please keep silent for whatever you say may be used against you in the court of Law.” The man added.While I struggled to understand what was happening, Nicholas started chuckling and my eyes narrowed at him.“Poor Tania, you thought you could get rid of me?” He breathed, moving closer. “I am the angel in White-Angel Inc. The lord protects me… You see you have been doing so many fraudulent things in

4: Chance Encounter

Ivan||My eyes widened in shock as the woman in front of my car disappeared from my vision. It could only mean that I had hit her.The rain was pouring so heavily, that I was already struggling with visibility when she had just appeared from nowhere. Where the hell was, she going under this heavy torrent?“Holy Shit!” I hissed as I rushed out of the car.As my eyes landed on her body, my heart froze. It wasn’t the blood or the bashed state of her face, it was the fact that I recognized her. She was the strange, enchanting woman at the bar!My legs instantly lowered to the ground as panic and fear seeped through me. I have spent days searching for her, only for the universe to bring her to me in this state.“Please don’t die,” I murmured as I searched for her pulse.When I finally felt it, hope washed down into my rain-soaked and bloodied clothes. I quickly picked her off the road and gently placed in her my car. I reversed my car and drove right back to the hospital.I couldn’t lose h

Chapter 5: No Cancer

Tania||I should have been shocked looking at an alien reflection in the mirror, but I didn't. I should have been surprised seeing the face of the man I thought was a whore with a doctor's coat in front of me but Instead, all I could think of was the opportunities this new face in the mirror posed.I was a totally different person, I thought to myself as I turned my head from side to side, inspecting my face. My face was still sore, and there were stitches in some places, but apart from those, my new face looked okay.I still had some tell tale looks of who I used to be; my striking green eyes and my distinct cupids bow which gave my lips the sensual curve it had, but apart from those, I was practically unrecognizable to anyone who used to know me."How long have I been here for?" I asked, my voice sounding foreign in my own ears."You have been in a coma for six weeks now." He replied so gently as if he was scared his voice would hurt me.His voice sounded like warm honey. Like a cu

Chapter 6: The Deal

Tania||"How are you doing today honey?" The old woman who was Ivan's grandmother cooed to me like I was a baby as she stroked my forehead gently.My confused eyes moved from her face, to Ivan's and back to hers and then Ivan again. His eyes were full of panic and what looked like shame."When did she wake up?" I watched as Ivan's grandmother asked him. "Erm..." I watched Ivan stutter as he rubbed his beautiful forehead with his thumb and forefinger.He looked so tense and he was intentionally refusing to meet my eyes. I really wanted him to look at me. I needed answers to what was going on."About an hour ago I think." Ivan finally answered. "Oh, honey! How do you feel?" The old woman's attention was back on me.I looked at her and my eyes were met with beautiful blue eyes that were so identical to the ones Ivan had. Hers were just wiser and full of motherly love and I wanted to drown in their gentleness.This time when she spoke, she looked like she warranted an answer from me but

Chapter 7: Green Slot

Ivan||My heart skipped a couple of beats as I waited for her answer.The room felt so hot all of a sudden and I was finding it so difficult to breathe. She was silent. I tried to read her thoughts in her eyes but they were like two cold green slots with no emotion. I knew I had made a mistake and it was worse that I did not know how to sort myself out of it.After a couple of minutes, I gave up. I was going to cut the whole thing off. I would find another way to please Grandma."Fine. I'll do it." Tania's voice interrupted my thoughts."What?!" I asked, disbelieving what I just heard."I would go through with your silly plan but on one condition." She said.I waited for her to state her condition. My body was jittery with excitement. No matter what she requested, I was going to give it to her. Hell, I would give her a kidney if she wanted it."You have to declare me dead and sign a death certificate," She finally said. I paused alongside all the excitement I was feeling as I trie

Chapter 8: The Match Maker

Ivan||"You really don't have to do much honestly. Just enough to keep my grandma's suspicion at bay," I said to Tania who was reclining in the passenger seat next to me in my black Brabus.It was the same car I had hit her with a couple of weeks ago. I wondered what it felt like sitting in the same car that had almost killed you and next to the man who had almost killed you.It had been two days since we had made our plan to help each other's deceitful plans and even though I had intended to let her stay in the hospital for a couple more days for further observation, my grandma had insisted that she be discharged.I could not help but admire the beauty that was sitting next to me. I would consider my work on her face to be my best reconstruction.I had indeed taken my time to ensure she did not have any scars or imperfections mostly out of guilt for having destroyed the masterpiece that had originally been her face. However, I had ensured I kept some features of her old face. Tania

Chapter 9: Truth in the Paper

Tania||"What do you think?" Ivan asked me.I moved my head from side to side as I examined my face in the mirror."Perfect." I respond.He had just taken out the last remaining stitches on my face. There was still a little reddening and swelling around where the stitches had been taken out, but apart from that, everything was flawless."It's safe to say Nana's idea of bringing you back home for a quicker recovery really worked," Ivan said with a smile.It had been six days since I stepped into Ivan's home. Six days of spending the night in the same room with him, and I would have to say it had been worth it.Nana had spent all her time dotting over me and turning me into an adult spoiled brat. I would not lie. It felt so good to have someone care for you, and I made sure I enjoyed every bit of it. I was so comfortable in the house, but Ivan didn't seem to be enjoying it as much as I was. He seem

Chapter 10: First Plan

Tania||As her question sank through my head, the pasta passed into my windpipe, choking me out of my thoughts.I coughed out the food and Ivan got up immediately to help me.He patted my back while I continued coughing with one hand and with the other hand, he held a napkin to my mouth."Nan see what you have caused!" Ivan chastised her."What did I do?" She whined, oblivious to the murder she almost committed."I told you to stop saying things like that, Nana!" Ivan hissed and she pursed her lips sadly.When I recovered, Ivan went back to his seat and grandmother cleared her throat."I'm sorry honey. I didn't mean to rile you up...""It's okay Nana." I replied forcing a smile. "I was not expecting such a question, that's all.""But you should." She insisted and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Liam roll his eyes in exasperation."You both are obviously in love so there is no re
