Malisa, a wealthy career woman, wakes up again in the past, right on the tragic day when her daughter, Serena, jumps from the school roof and dies. In her previous life, Malisa was framed as a cruel and abusive mother by her husband, Eric, and Serena's homeroom teacher, Miss Lina. Malisa was vilified by the public, imprisoned, and eventually killed by fellow inmates. This time, with all those bitter memories, Malisa is determined to uncover the truth and prevent the tragedy from happening again. She decides to be more vigilant about Serena and the people around her. How the next story?
View MoreEric's POV I kept thinking about that because I felt threatened. Next, the second was about Malisa and Serena. Yes, Serena was still in Malisa's hands. I wondered if Serena and Malisa might be starting to have a good relationship now. Especially since Serena had not tried to contact me. Anxiety gnawed at my heart, imagining them spending time together, sharing stories, while I remained isolated here. Or perhaps Serena is still weak and hasn't regained consciousness until now. I keep trying to convince myself that maybe she just needs time to recover. However, this uncertainty is torturous. Every passing second makes me more anxious. I don’t know what might be happening right now, and that makes me feel increasingly helpless.These muddled thoughts aren’t good. I try to think positively, but the shadows of worry continue to haunt me. Have I failed to protect Serena? Was my decision to get involved in this plan the right one? All these questions spin endle
Eric's POV My voice trembled, and the mixed emotions made it hard to explain. "Lina, I... I don't know how this happened. We were fighting and... and he fell into the cliff."Lina listened intently, her eyes widening as I recounted everything that had happened. "What? He fell into the cliff? Are you sure he's okay?" she asked, worry echoing in her voice.I could only shake my head, sadness and uncertainty weighing down my chest. "I don't know, I just... don't know what to do."In that moment, I felt a heavy burden in my heart. Guilt and fear enveloped me, and I knew that my life would be affected by this incident forever. "That's good then," Lina said with a straight look, making me even more confused.I didn’t understand why Lina responded to my story about Roby that way. Right now, I felt unwell and anxious. The thought of the police possibly looking for me due to Roby's unfortunate condition haunted my mind. I didn’t even know how Ro
Eric's POV I could no longer hold back the emotions that finally spilled over. It felt like Roby made me utterly sick. Returning home with defeat on my shoulders, Malisa greeted me with a scornful look. Now, it felt like Roby was spitting in my face, igniting the fire I had to confront.He looked shocked when he received a punch he didn't see coming. In an instant, all the pent-up frustration and anger burst out. I was surprised by my sudden courage, as if some other force was moving me.However, it wasn't long before Roby recovered from his shock. His anger surged, and in a flash, he retaliated. The punch hit my cheek, and the pain struck me harder than I expected.As the pain spread across my face, I realized how quickly the situation had turned chaotic. What should have been an emotional conversation had ended in violence. In that confusion, I felt a mix of anger and fear.Now, amidst this conflict, I had to think about my next move. Would
Eric's POVI felt miserable after Lina spoke like that. It was as if I had been silenced by the reality that had unfolded. Her words spun in my mind, making my head dizzy. Lina, with her strange and confused look, still stood beside me. This confusion deepened, trapping me in a situation I couldn’t escape.In my mind, only one thing crossed my thoughts: I had to let Serena go. Although my heart felt heavy, I knew this was the decision I had to make. I had tried for so long, but it seemed all my efforts were in vain. This feeling of resignation came so suddenly, leaving me emotionally exhausted.After sitting in silence for a long time, I hurried home to Roby's rented house. Each step felt heavy, as if a weight pressed down on my shoulders. I felt I was losing control over everything, especially over things I never predicted. In the car, my thoughts drifted back to the beautiful moments with Serena. Yet, I knew that happiness was now just a memory.Upon
Eric's POV The atmosphere around was quite calm, but my heart was still filled with anxiety. I couldn't take my mind off what was happening inside.While waiting, I observed the activity around me. Several nurses and doctors passed by, busy with their tasks. The beeping of medical equipment and hurried footsteps made me increasingly restless. Although I knew the medical team was doing their best for Serena, the worry still haunted my thoughts.I thought about how significant this action was for her. With my blood donation, I hoped to provide hope and strength. Each second felt like hours, and I couldn't wait for the transfusion process to finish. In my heart, I kept praying for everything to go smoothly and for Serena to recover soon.Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, getting closer. Lina and I, who were sitting, were startled, especially when Lina nudged my arm to get my attention. I was taken aback to see Malisa arriving. I remembered t
Eric's POV I replied briefly, "It's up to you if you don't believe me at all; I won't force you to." My voice was calm, even though the atmosphere around us was quite chaotic.When I glanced at Serena, I noticed a change in her face. Her complexion began to flush, indicating that her emotions were starting to flare up. The conversation between me and Malisa seemed to have triggered a reaction within her. Her expression showed that she felt trapped in this conflict between two people who were supposed to support each other.I knew that this situation could potentially worsen her relationship with her mother. In my mind, I tried to navigate this tension, doing my best to prevent Serena from sinking deeper into the uncertainty caused by our argument. However, I also realized that my actions and words could determine the direction of the conversation.Serena spoke firmly, her voice filled with anger. "Enough, Dad! Let her be and hang up the phone right no
Eric's POV I tried to ignore Serena, who was trying to stop me, attempting to understand her position as a hurt child. However, the urge to answer the phone was stronger. In those tense moments, I picked up the call, hoping to find a way out of this mess. With a pounding heart, I prepared to hear what Malisa would say, all the while feeling the weight of Serena's unspoken hopes."Yes, what is it? Where have you been, Malisa?" I asked, feeling annoyed that she was only now contacting me. I had needed her earlier. I mean, I needed her money, not her presence. But I tried to set aside my annoyance and push it away. Especially now that I was on the phone with Malisa in front of Serena. I had to present a good image and turn the situation around as if Malisa was always in the wrong, further complicating the relationship between Malisa and Serena.In this tense situation, I felt a battle between need and emotion. On one hand, I desperately needed money from Mal
Eric's POV Seeing Serena's face full of disappointment and her overflowing complaints about her mother in front of me, I honestly couldn't find the words to express the reality of this situation. I was even confused about what to do now because, in reality, Malisa was too busy. This wasn't just happening to Serena; Malisa also rarely had time for me, to be honest.Serena sat in the corner of the room, her face showing profound pain. Her usually bright eyes now appeared dim, as if the burden of her thoughts had gnawed away at her spirit. She expressed her disappointment about her mother, Malisa, who was always busy with work and life's demands. Every word that came from her mouth was filled with frustration, and I could only remain silent, feeling the weight of this situation.I know all too well how it feels when someone we love is too trapped in their routine. Malisa, who should be a refuge for Serena, had become an unreachable figure. Often, I also felt
Eric's POV I felt disgusted hearing Roby's words, especially when he called me a parasite in Malisa's life. How rude of him to say that, and I felt like I wanted to strike him down, but not right now. This emotion would only waste my energy.Before long, I received the transfer from Roby. It felt relieving, though there was a slight bitterness in my heart. Without waiting long, I paid the promised amount. I saved the rest for daily needs while we were here. I knew this situation wouldn’t be easy, and every remaining cent had to be managed carefully.Finally, after settling all financial matters, Serena could be moved to a special patient room. She got a private space for her treatment in this hospital, which made me feel a bit more at ease. Seeing her in better condition, albeit still under medical supervision, gave me renewed hope.This better space also allowed for better care. I felt somewhat relieved, although the issues with Roby and tensions wit
Malisa’s POV"Honey, come have breakfast. I made it especially for you," Eric said softly, bringing the food to me like he always did, with that gentle, caring smile. I felt a chill run down my spine.Eric had been a stay-at-home dad ever since we got married, taking care of me and our daughter, Serena. He was meticulous, thoughtful, and always made sure we had everything we needed. My friends would constantly tell me how lucky I was to have found such a perfect, gentle man, and I used to agree.But lately, something felt off. The way he looked at me sometimes, the intensity in his gaze—it was as if he were watching me for signs of something he feared. As I sat down at the table, I tried to shake off the unease. The aroma of pancakes and fresh fruit filled the air, sweet and inviting. Yet, the warmth of the breakfast contrasted sharply with the cold knot forming in my stomach."How did you sleep?" he asked, pouring syrup over my pancakes with a steady hand, his movements deliberate a...
