My fiance called me to post bail after he was arrested. When I arrived, however, I was informed that he was caught in a compromising position. "I came to protect Lily because I was worried for her safety," my fiance retorted, putting an arm around her shoulder. "But her boyfriend didn't believe me. Or is it the same for you too? Go post bail already." Nonetheless, I spied the lacy underwear poking out ever so slightly over his belt. In the past, I would have made a scene as I demanded an explanation. But now, I was as cool as a cucumber. When the cops asked what our relationship was, I paused in thought for a moment, before saying quietly, "His employer." Once I signed the papers, I texted my brother: [I'll go on that blind date. Schedule it for three days later.]

Nonetheless, Paul appeared out of nowhere in the second Lily's dagger was about to reach me.Lily tried to withdraw, but it was too late—her dagger cut his arm, drawing blood.He did not seem to realize that, however, and was watching me worriedly, "Are you hurt?"I didn't answer, merely glancing at Lily behind him. "Your parents' death was their own doing."Lily's pale cheek appeared even paler then, and she tried to push her way to me to strangle me, but Paul pushed her to the floor. "You knew that Paul was an illegitimate child all along, no?"I continued anyway. "You only took care of him so that you could get a handsome reward from his father. That's why I'm sure you're the one who sent his father that DNA report too—wasn't this what you've been waiting for? Isn't that the real reason you clung to him for so long?"Lily could only shake her head, glaring at me viciously so that I might shut up.On the other hand, Paul's jaw dropped when he heard me. "Is that… the truth?"
Won't Get Fooled Again Chapter 9
Things went well for myself and Tim—we were soon discussing marriage, a fulfilling end to a blind date that had been postponed for five years.While I used to dream of wearing a gown I designed myself to walk down the aisle, I had to give up before as Paul called it plain and forbade me from using it at all.Now, I was marrying someone else instead, so I resumed the design that was left half done.When I went out to buy the many adornments that were needed, Tim was insistent on coming with me as he said, "Getting married is a matter for two. How could I leave everything to you?"It was certainly a stark contrast to Paul's apathetic attitude before, and Tim's words left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside.Still, I was conservative and dislike trying new things, so I stuck with the outlets that I frequented.The retailer was especially enthusiastic today as well, insisting on promoting new products even when I tried to leave.I didn't think much of it, and bought more stuff as I tho
Won't Get Fooled Again Chapter 8
Paul's mom used to be my maid, and the first maid I hired since I ran away from home.She was very good to me, taking care of me tirelessly, nagging like a mother that I should take good care of my diet.There was a warm homeliness in the bleak house then, and that was when I met Paul.He never attended university and was a delinquent.I would rather have nothing to do with his type, until his mother caught a terminal illness.I paid her medical fees and took care of her when she was bedridden day and night, until the day of her death.And on that day, she was holding my hand and begging, "Ms. Adams…. Can you please take care of Paul for me from now on? I'm begging you, in exchange for my service…"She was ready to prostrate herself before me, and I quickly stopped her, agreeing to it as she looked upon me expectantly.And I kept that promise for five years.Though I fulfilled that last wish, I ended up sacrificing myself…-"Jessica… Jessica?"

Neil had a pained look as he watched me from the rearview mirror.Still, the blind date was held in a rush, and I didn't bring much luggage with me.However, Neil had me sent to a makeup artist and other salons to make a good impression.When it was done, I stared at my pretty reflection in the mirror, spacing out.I had no idea when I became so obsessed with Paul in heart and mind, that I became a fishwife who hollered just like him, and became a servant at his beck and call.My youth would have been a golden period in my life, but I had lived just like a hag.Neil's tears welled up in his eyes, but he forced a smile and teased me, "Ah, my sister's so beautiful. Mr. Jones would fall head over heels for you!"Then, clapping me on the shoulder, he assured me, "I've checked. He's a good kid."I nodded, my eyes could well be dead—it didn't matter now.And no matter how bad Tim might be, he wouldn't be all that bad.-Tim was different from how I had remembered him when he arriv

In reality, we hadn't celebrated our anniversaries for four years, but I suddenly felt like it this year.I decorated the house as I used to envision, the balloons taking me an entire afternoon to inflace.I kept the time with precision down to the second, and everything was perfect.Once we were done celebrating, I could give up on this relationship that lasted five years.However, my hopes fell short as Paul never came home. "Lily's sick—I have to take care of her. Don't wait up," he told me, not realizing that unnatural quiver in his voice whenever he lied.But I always remembered such minuscule details.I checked my social media to find that Paul had posted something, but the post soon vanished.So, he blocked me.I switched to my sub-account to check what vanished, and saw that it was Paul and Lily, holding hands for the camera, having a candlelight dinner with steak and red wine.It was even captioned: [Let's do this next year, and the years to come!]I quietly liked

I never apologized even as Paul carried Lily away.I watched them being ever so sweet to each other, but I could no longer stop my stomach, and threw up into a sink.I vomited so hard that I was getting dizzy, and after some hesitation, I ended up calling a cab to the hospital—one that was far from my house to avoid those two.But somehow, I ran into them anyway.Paul was princess-carrying Lily, while she affectionately wiped the sweat off his brow."Oh, that's so sweet!"Many of the ladies watched with envy, while others grumbled at their men, "There's him, and there's you! Tch!"Lily was left embarrassed, and pouted at Paul to let her down.Paul refused, however, until he spotted me sitting down the hallway.He paused for a moment, but kept carrying Lily."What are you doing here?" He asked, and then chuckled as he remembered. "It's too late even if you want to apologize now."Before he could gloat further, he saw the box of pills I was holding."You're sick?" He exclaime

Early the next day, I was woken by some noise in the hallway outside.Naturally, Paul never came home.I didn't ask either, and contacted my office to tell them I was resigning.I then reached out to local welfare organizations, donating the clothes I packed last night.As I was getting a drink, I paused as I heard a woman exclaiming worshipfully, while a man was barking orders.Recognizing the voices, I opened the door, and immediately saw some movers moving furniture, while Paul and Lily stood in the middle.Their cheeks pressed against each other just like a loving couple.Then, perhaps because of something Lily whispered into Paul's ear, he smiled affectionately and tapped her nose.Then, he turned and barked orders at the movers again.He was picky with furniture placement, and everything must go according to his will where he lived.When we moved, he took leave just to order the movers like he did now, and he told me then, "One's own house must be designed by oneself to

Paul froze in shock, and it took a while for him to stammer, "It's all just a misunderstanding. It's just photos from Lily's birthday.""You know that she doesn't have a family—I was just taking photos with her as her brother."As he spoke, he was afraid to look me in the eye.It left me snickering—he actually had a conscience?Lily's parents and Paul's parents were friends for years, and they grew up together.But one day, Lily's parents got into an accident on the way to pick up Paul, and with their dying breath, they entrusted Lily in his care.That was why Paul felt guilt, and was really doting on Lily.At first, there was proper distance between them. However, they were virtually glued to each other now.As such, his explanations were absolutely feeble to me.Still, I fought back tears and said quietly, "I'm fine. Don't worry. If you marry her—"Even before I finished, Paul slapped me across the face, knocking me to the floor, leaving a clear red palm print that soon swe
Won't Get Fooled Again Chapter 2
I waited by the road for thirty minutes, before finally hailing a cab to leave.Perhaps feeling guilty, Paul actually came home that night, but entered to find me packing a suitcase."Running away again?!" He promptly bellowed.I never stopped, replying nonchalantly, "Just packing some clothes."At those words, I subtly moved aside, keeping my distance.The sickly sweet perfume clinging to his body combined with the scent of shampoo left me with a headache.Still, his expression stiffened as he noticed me moving away, and muttered as if for his own benefit, "The closet is just a little small. When we marry and move to a bigger house, I'll make you an entire wardrobe room, okay?"In the past, I would have thought he really cared, even doting on me.I would be scrambling over myself to say yes, and fantasize about our married life.Now, anything he said left me feeling disgusted and deceived.Still, seeing that I was not responding, he didn't press the issue and headed into the

Chapter 1
Lily Thompson's boyfriend was still hollering as we left the precinct, while my boyfriend Paul Gibson had an arm around Lily's shoulder, as if asserting dominance.In a matter of minutes—with Lily siding with Paul too, her boyfriend bellowed, "I'm done! I'm breaking up with you!"As he stormed off, I wasn't bothered to watch Paul and Lily pretending to comfort each other, and got in the car.I was riding shotgun, but Lily suddenly caught my hand before I could put on the seatbelt, looking past me at Paul who got in the driver's seat, "I'm scared of sitting at the back alone…"As she spoke, her tears welled up in her eyes, at once bright and innocent.And as she finished, her tears quietly rolled down her cheeks.But it just so happened that delicate appearance was what Paul loved.Still, I snapped at Lily impatiently, "Then walk home yourself."The ensuing silence was cold and forbidding, and Paul soon snapped coldly, "How could you be so vile, Jessica?! It's so cold out here, ...
