Prologue

Telling the truth is much easier than telling a lie. Once you tell the truth, you don't need to memorize a line, you don't need to memorize a made-up story. But why do people still choose to lie? When they already know that secrets always come out, lies will always reveal by the truth. No matter how careful you are, you will still get caught. What you kept in darkness, will always unveil by the light.My grip tightens on the knife I'm holding, and I slowly lift my gaze, staring myself into the full-length mirror inside my room. A creep smile form on my lips seeing the blood-stained on my right cheek.They say people are born good or evil. But little did they know that people can be both good or evil..."He has arrived," informed by someone that I really know, behind me.My eyes went cold and my feet find their way towards the balcony. I open the glass door and the cold night breeze welcomes me. My ears suddenly become sensitive to the sounds of nature mad

Chapter 1

 Sammia Avileigh's Point Of View I roamed my eyes around, amazed by the crowds of people that my eyes can reach. They were passing right in front of me and it always feels strange when someone smiles at me although it's been seven months since I start socializing again and did the things that I used to do.I must say that I am finally recovered from the tragic accident that happens in my life. The scar of that accident is still buried inside me but those happy memories of the present help me cope and continue my life despite being incomplete without having the memories of my 23 years of existence.I smile and shut my eyes close while shaking my head, shrugging off the thoughts about my forgotten memory. I shouldn't think about it again. I shouldn't feel incomplete because my family is giving their best to deal with me."Avi sweetheart!" I drag back to my reverie when I heard Mom called me.I turn around

Chapter 2

I'M catching my breath while clutching my chest. A pang of pain inside my chest won't leave me. My heart seems pricked by thousands of needles because of this sudden pain that I've never experienced before.What's happening to me?I shut my eyes close while crumpling the fabric of my blanket, seeking something to hold that can give me strength to endure this undeniable pain. But my breath hitched when I heard the screeching sound of wheels followed by a loud explosion inside my head.Bullets of sweat roll down to my forehead when I open my eyes. I am breathing heavily while trying to analyze what just happen to me."W-What was that?" I mumble to myself, trying to calm my breathing when suddenly I heard the door of my room open that made me flinch in surprise."Good morning sweetie" Mom energetically greeted me.I saw her big smile when my gaze landed on her face. She spread her both arms and advance her step towards me. She envelops me with

Chapter 3

'Aliano Silvanus Rivvero, you need to kill him. Remember that...'I gasp and took a step back, my body suddenly went cold while my hand starts to tremble while holding this note. I suddenly couldn't process the words I'm seeing. I knew how to read, but my brain tended to went blank because of being in denial. It's funny that I suddenly become not sure there are that many words in the language I'm using.Who made this note? Why there is something like this here? Is this some kind of a tricked? If it is, how could someone make a note like this? This is not a joke. We are talking Aliano Silvanus Rivvero here, the man that I am supposed to marry. I still can remember how my mother always mention him to me since I woke up after the accident. He is always the center of our conversation, reminding me that he is the man of my dreams.But why something like this existed?I mentally shake my head and examine the note. Every stroke of the letters is neat and clean a

Chapter 4

My face went stoic with what he said and immediately push him away from me. A mocking grin plastered on his lips and I don't like the way he looks at me. His tall powerful frame is really manly that he needs to lower his head just to level my height. His handsome face is not new to me anymore, I already saw him in the picture. What I didn't expect from him is his arrogant attitude. How did I like this man? Aside from his looks, I don't think there is anything adorable about him. "You're flustered" he chuckles lowly "Almost the same reaction when you were just a kid" "I am not a kid anymore" He smirks "Oh sure you're not. I know you are more able to do adult stuff now" I creased my forehead. Is it I or there is really a secret message behind 'adult stuff' that he's talking about. "So innocent my sweet Sammia" he murmured grinning from ear to ear. I press my lips together. I couldn't find his humor funny. I think he's taunting me because

Chapter 5

"Are you crazy?" I blurt out showing him my disgusted face. Does he think that I am just a figment of his imagination? Or does he think that I am someone who's just pretending to be Sammia? A single laugh escapes my lips while watching him giving me a sharp stare. I shake my head and cross my arm not wanting to be intimidated by him. This man is naturally intimidating in that he doesn't need to talk nor creased his forehead just be look rugged and rough. Everything about him screams with masculinity. His hard structure and tall powerful frame is hard to ignore- it feels like it's belittling me. He's too manly in my eyes that even he's giving me a threatening and stern look still I am praising him non-stop. "Why does everyone so surprise that I am Sammia?" I can't help to ask when he didn't say anything. "I am not surprised" he sternly corrected me "I am frustrated that you become-" he pauses and his brows furrowed while scanning me from head to toe an

Chapter 6

"I never claimed that I know everything" I retorted although it's already late to say that because Akihiro is not in front of me anymore.I did not know what he's trying to imply with those hinted lines. Perhaps it was just his way to stirred my thoughts- but whatever it meant, I don't have much time to decipher it. What's important right now is my mother. I need to talk to my parents.I don't like Akihiro in the first place and I think the feeling is mutual, we don't really get along. But of course, both of us were constrained to be reasonably polite and respectful to each other. He's enduring my stubbornness because of my brother and I am trying my best to be casual for the sake of my mother and my recovery as well.I sigh mentally clutching the fabric of my blanket. I lean my back on the headrest of the bed waiting for my mother to come inside my room. I am expecting that my father is with her too. Alexander my brother is not here, he's been so busy lately at

Chapter 7

They say some people lie for the sake of someone. But for me, it's not always for their 'sake', sometimes it is to keep them in the dark. There are no such things as white lies, that hypocrisy never exists because all lies are dark. It will always keep you in the dark no matter what kind of lie it is."You disobey me?" Mom mumbles in disbelief while holding the note with her shaky hands.I breathe, looking at her with my serious face."Did you lie to me?" I retorted."Sammia Avileigh!" Dad called me in a hard tone of voice.He sound displeased maybe because he found my tone rude. This is the first time I use an accusing tone at my mother. The first time I question the things that they told me."I want to know what's with that note Mom," I said firmly not planning to back out.I already started it, I won't return to my room not unless they explain it all to me. She even lies about that abandoned room. She said it was empty even before

Chapter 8

"What are you doing here?" He asks roaming his eyes around "Are you with someone?"His deep forest green eyes shifted back to me. He's a bit suspicious as if I did something wrong. I creased my forehead because of that. I can't find a reason of explaining myself to him. We're not even close- or maybe we are but that was before when my memories are still intact. Things are different now, much more different from what he anticipated from me. And that is because of the accident.Everything change. If he made a promise before to me that doesn't mean I'm still holding to that until now. Maybe yes- but that was before the accident happen. Because I realize now that it's not easy to put things back in their right places. I felt like that I am not the old me because I am different from what my parents describe.I mentally sigh, "I am with Morgan,"His brows furrowed "Morgan who?"I was about to reply when suddenly Morgan called me from behind."Miss

Chapter 9

I uncomfortably settle myself on the passenger seat cautious with my move while observing Silvanus' movement on the backseat who's arranging the grocery bags. I creased my forehead when I saw him pull out his phone inside the pocket of his jeans and type something on the screen followed by his hiss."You don't need to send me home," I utter hesitantly.But his forehead suddenly creased tilting his head to look at me. I gulp with his stare, mentally scolding myself for being nosy."I am not asking your permission, woman" he bit out.He raised his brows as if he's flaunting the sarcasm in his face when I look at him in disbelief."So you will drive us home?" I can't help to fire out again.I mean, my driver drove us here. And he's actually standing outside the car waiting for my instructions. So basically, I don't need Silvanus to send me home because I have my driver with me. That's what I'm trying to point out."I will drive you home"
