Damian was driving towards the airport with a mixture of anticipation and concern. He was going to pick up his cousin Fiona, who held a special place in his heart, almost like a younger sister. As he drove, memories flooded back to him of a time when Fiona's innocence had been shattered by a cruel act of jealousy. Damian couldn't forget the incident that had caused Fiona to leave the country at such a young age. His childhood friend, Marah, had committed an unspeakable act against Fiona that still haunts Damian to this day. They were only fifteen of them at the time and were having a sleepover like any other pair of friends. However, what should have been a night of laughter and bonding turned into a nightmare. Marah, consumed by envy and spite, had taken her jealousy to a new level. In a fit of rage, she had mercilessly chopped off Fiona's long, beautiful black hair, hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of ebony silk. It was a senseless act of cruelty, driven by Marah'
"Oh, your hair grew back” was the first thing that left Marah's mouth after being silent for a minute or two. poor thinking I thought to himself, Is there a brain in that head of hers at all? How could that be the only thing that came out of her mouth? Dad was there and Mom had just stepped out of the kitchen, the shock on their faces was visible. As Marah's words hung in the air, I felt a wave of frustration wash over me. How could she be so oblivious to the tension in the room? Her shallow comment about Fiona's hair felt like a slap in the face, especially given our history with her. I exchanged a quick glance with Dad, who looked equally taken aback, while Mom's expression turned from surprise to concern. I cleared my throat, trying to maintain my composure despite the rising anger within me. "Marah, what are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. It took all my willpower not to lash out at her for dredging up painful memories. Marah flashed me a saccharine
Serena As Owen's words hung in the air, Serena felt a surge of panic and unease wash over her. She couldn't believe that he had tracked her down after all these years, especially now that she had finally moved on with Damian. But she knew better than to underestimate Owen's manipulative nature, and she braced herself for whatever he had in store. Summoning all her courage, Serena took a deep breath and met Owen's gaze with steely determination. "I'm sorry about how things ended between us in the past," she began, her voice steady despite the tremor in her heart. "But I've moved on, Owen. I'm with Damian now, and there's nothing you can do to change that." She pleaded with him to let her go and put an end to this twisted game he was playing. "We can still be friends, Owen," she said, her voice softening with genuine concern. "For old times' sake. But you need to understand that I've moved on, and I'm happy now. Please, don't make this any harder than it needs to be." But as she loo
Owen Owen rushed to her side before her head reached the ground. Ignoring the stares of passersby, Owen carefully placed Serena in the backseat and instructed his guard to retrieve her purse. Upon their arrival, Owen wasted no time explaining the situation to the medical staff, his voice steady. The doctors quickly sprang into action, assessing Serena's condition and running a battery of tests to determine the cause of her collapse. As Owen paced anxiously in the waiting room, his thoughts were consumed by Serena's well-being. He couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at him, knowing that what he had said earlier had led her into danger once again. As Serena lay unconscious in the hospital bed, Owen's mind raced with memories of their early dates. He vividly recalled the terrifying moment when Serena collapsed after biting into something hard, her body going limp in his arms. At the time, he had been filled with panic and confusion, unsure of what had caused Serena's sudd
