All Chapters of When Fate Messed Up: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

 The woman who weeps on the shore   Nina Hayes   Using Vernon's private we flew the next day to Maldives. I didn't even try to sit next to Vernon because I knew Mona would be there, so she sat in the vacant seat next to Ryker. Ryker is actually a fun person to talk to because he has a sense of humor and you really can't get bored when you're with him. But even if Vernon's quiet and not as friendly as Ryker, I still wanted more than anything to sit down and talk to him. Or just sit beside him like I used to. Unfortunately, someone sit

  Say what you need to say  Nina Hayes   I can feel the scorching heat of the sun hitting my face making me wince slightly. I covered my face with my hands and tried to sit but the pain in my head stopped me from doing making me fall back again. I groaned and rubbed my forehead. I was suddenly reminded of what happened last night and memories started playing in flashback. When I just drank and drank like an alcoholic, the glares I'm send Vernon and Mona's say. Me dancing with strangers and letting them touch me and oh my god. I groaned and flailed my feet in embarassment. Vernon is blind and a fool? Then, what am I exactly? 

Vernon's Doppleganger Nina HayesTHE FOLLOWING day, Vernon and I came to work together. He is holding my hand tight and when we got out of the car, the reporters automatically surrounded us. I was about to pull my hand away from his grasp but he only tightened it. The security prevented them from coming closer but they shoved their cameras and mics on our faces instead. I thought we were about to go inside but Vernon faced the reporters and raised our clasped hands for them to see. "Nina is not my play toy. Nina is my girlfriend and I'm proud of her." he told them with his head held high and a dimpled grin before giving me a wink that brought a genuine smile on my lips.Vernon tugged me closer to him and nodded to his security before they escorted us closer to the entrance. The murmurs and whispers around us are sill there but there is a sick thrill in me that is satisfied. Honestly, I don't care what other people say. I can face them as long as I'm holding Vernon's hand. When we

   Lost In The Moment    Nina Hayes   His blue eyes full of longing and honesty earlier turned into a look of betrayal and hatred as he shot Ryker a disbelieving glare.  "So I am friends with a monster, after all."  He hissed and laughed mockingly without taking away his sharp stare at Troy.  "I thought you were in New York for business as you said. Turns out you've been stabbing me in the back."  Vernon's voice is full of distaste and bitterness.

Eye. Heart. You?Nina Hayes I was just lying on my bed like an idiot. I didn't sleep much last night because the tears kept falling from my eyes like waterfalls. Everytime I remember the scene I saw, I just couldn't help but cry and feel sorry to myself but I brought this upon myself. Maybe this is my karma. That's why my head hurts like hell. I don't want to stand up and I just want to sleep all day and lie down. I do not have the strength to do anything. I just want to wallow on my self-pity. I was in such a state of mind when the door suddenly opened and Felicita entered carrying a rather large painting still wrapped in paper. "What's that, Fe?" I asked her when she got close to my bed. "I don't know either, Ma'am. Someone sent it earlier but I believe it's for you." She laid the painting on top of my bed as I sat up. "Thank you, Fe. Can you please get me water and advil? Thank you." When she came out I turned my attention to painting. Only one person I know can paint.
