When I was just a little girl someone ruined my life and to this day I've never forgotten it never in a million years did I think I'd bump into them as an adult and have the opportunity to get revenge but that's exactly what I did
Before I dive into my story allow me to introduce myself a bit I'm Ellie and I'm 25 years old I live in San Fran and even though I've had a pretty tough life I'm pretty happy now and I have the greatest job I'm a project manager at a cool
Startup in Silicone Valley I work hard not just because I enjoy my job but because I like being an independent kind of girl a lot of my friends ask me why I don't just find a rich guy to take care of me and that just drives me crazy I
Mean I chose to be single because I really don't trust guys you see my dad is a nasty piece of work and so he left a pretty bad taste in my mouth when it came to how I felt about men when I was just 5 years old he abandoned me and my
Mom in LA to go live with his mistress even talking about it now I feel angry we were devastated and begged him to stay but he left us after that things were horrible for me and my mom my dad was the bread winner and was the CEO of
A company so we'd never had to worry about a thing but after he left my mom struggled to find a job and sometimes we even went to bed hungry I remember people felt sorry for us and one of our neighbors started leaving food Parcels on our doorstep it was very sweet of
Them but humiliating too I hated my dad for leaving us in that mess and I hated his mistress even more for stealing him away I vowed to never date anyone because I never wanted to end up in my mom's position all I knew was that men
Hurt women and that wasn't going to be my story so anytime guys asked me out I turned them down that was until something crazy happened that changed my mind on this whole guy thing I was feeling really ill one day and because I lived alone I had to go out to the
Grocery store to get some food when I got back I felt like I was about to pass out before I even made it inside the door I fainted on my porch luckily for me one of my neighbors saw me fainting and rushed over to help me I'd only ever
Seen him a few times in passing but when I opened my eyes he was standing over me I felt so grateful he told me his name was Brian and I couldn't believe how kind he was being he looked after me until I'd fully recovered he made me
Soup and even set by my bed and wiped my face with a cold cloth to help get rid of my fever the more time he spent by my side the more I started to think maybe I'd been wrong maybe not all men were bad news like my dad maybe Brian was one
Of the good ones I'm not proud of this but I might have pretended to still be sick just so he would keep coming to see me even after a week he laughed and said to me Ellie your fever is totally gone are you just using me now I could feel
My my face go bright red and jokingly said look at me I definitely still got a fever I really didn't want Brian to stop visiting other than my mom no one had ever been so loving towards me there was no hiding fact that I had feelings for
Him we started hanging out more some days I worked super late and whenever I came home he'd invite me over for dinner and one night he had set up candles and romantic music and guys that's when we kissed for the first time it felt so so
Good and I knew there was no point fooling myself I loved him and he loved me too for the next few months we were inseparable we spent every possible moment together and after 6 months of dating he asked me to meet him for lunch one day down by the Waterfront when I
Arrived I couldn't believe it he'd arranged for us to go out on a boat for a picnic then when we were out in the water looking back at the city he turned to me and said Ellie I've never met anyone like you before I want to spend
The rest of my life looking after you my Ellie bear will you marry me oh my God I'm not joking I started crying so much I thought we were going to capsize this was the most romantic proposal ever of course I said yes I couldn't wait to
Spend my life with Brian and I was already so excited to start planning our wedding I'd always dreamt of getting married in a Vineyard near Sacramento so so now all we had to do was choose a venue and of course tell our parents Brian had met my mom and they got on so
Well but I still hadn't met his parents they were divorced and Brian only really saw his dad his mom was always working he said and so they didn't hang out much I told him it was important to me that I met them both so he arranged it I was
Pretty nervous but Brian's dad was so lovely just like him I could see where he got his kindness from then it was time to meet his mom we went to a restaurant restaurant that she chose and when we walked in I thought I was going to collapse this couldn't be happening I
Thought Brian's mom was none other than Sasha my dad's mistress from all those years ago I felt sick and Brian could sense something was wrong I tried to act as normal as possible but inside I wanted to scream Brian introduced us and told me his mom was the CEO of my
Company's rival company could this get any worse I had to smile and pretend to be happy to meet her honestly I felt like I was going to puke and was counting the minutes until I could run out of there finally his mom said she
Had to get back to work and I felt like I could breathe again but I had questions on the way home I asked Brian about his mom's life and he said she divorced his dad 20 years ago when he was just 7 years old she'd moved in with
Another guy which I knew was my dad but they'd broken up a long time ago he said and she had been constantly changing boyfriend's till now I turned to Brian and I said are you okay with that if she was my mom I wouldn't want her to be
Playing around like that but Brian just said I don't care all that matters is that she's a good mom as for her private life she can do whatever she likes right I couldn't believe it how could Brian be such a good son his mom had abandoned
Him and he was just fine with it I would never forgive my dad and his mistress for destroying me and my mom's life and now I de excited it was time for Revenge she'd made my childhood a living hell and now it was her turn to know what it
Felt like with planning the wedding we started to see his mom Sasha more often and I used these opportunities to try and get closer to her then one day I started complaining about my job even though I loved it and Sasha said why don't you come work for me there's a
Vacancy going and you'd be perfect for it I mean you have so much experience this was exactly what I wanted now I could ruin her company and then watch her life crumble everyone was surprised I was quitting my job to work for our rival company but I didn't even have
Time to care about what they thought on the first day at my new job Sasha introduced me to everyone in the software design department and that's when I met Clark the head of the department he was a little older than me around 30 and he was well known in
Silicone Valley for being super smart the department was about to launch a new app that would blow people's minds and everyone was super excited about it throughout my first day there I couldn't help but notice how much attention Sasha was paying to Clark it was kind of sickening to watch she constantly
Flirted with him and all I could think was how he was way too young for her at lunch she acted like a school girl saying clarky I saved a seat for you I couldn't understand why Clark would like her she continued to flirt with him over the next few weeks she always brought
Him a coffee and she didn't do that for anyone else then in meetings she always chose his ideas it was pretty frustrating and I even thought about telling Brian that it looked like his mom had found a new boy toy but then one day I was working late and when I walked
Past the meeting room to go to the restroom I heard Sasha and Clark chatting and I couldn't stop myself from EES dropping Sasha was giggling and said oh come on Clark I'll even give you a pay rise again it's just one date then Clark said sorry I really can't I'm too
Busy and to be honest I didn't have that kind of feeling for you I'm so sorry ha it made me so pleased to hear Clark rejecting her she didn't deserve a nice guy like Clark as I walked back to my desk I glanced into the meeting room and
I saw how upset she looked wow she looked really hurt she must have liked Clark a lot and so that's when my plan started to unfold I would do to her what she'd done to my mom I would steal the guy she loved right from under her nose
Hey guys it's me again Ellie so in the first part of my story I told you about how my dad abandoned me and my mom when I was just a kid to go live with his mistress and that made me never want to date guys but then I met Brian and we
Got engaged meeting his mom was a huge shock because she was none other than my dad's mistress from all those years ago I couldn't handle it and decided to get revenge first I started working in her company and then I noticed she had a crush on Clark the head of the software
Design department so I decided to steal him from her and you won't believe what happened next one Friday evening after everyone had left I noticed that Clark was still working I made him a cup of coffee and asked about how the proposal he was working on was going we had a
Pretty nice chat and I tried to flirt with him I won't lie I started to see why Sasha fancied him he was a really nice guy I even gave gave him my number and said if he ever needed any help with the proposal just to call me we didn't
Get to chat for long though because Brian suddenly called me and said he was waiting outside when I got downstairs he was dressed up in a nice shirt and said he wanted to take me to our favorite restaurant I was pretty surprised because we hadn't gone on a spontaneous
Date in a while we'd both been so busy recently I ordered my favorite Ramen soup and then I smiled and asked Brian in a teasing way what's the occasion you haven't taken me out on a date in ages I waited for him to reply and he wouldn't
Look at me I started to panic and asked him Brian what is it is something wrong then he told me that he'd just been assigned to manage a big project in New York he said he needed to fly there the following week and that the project was
Expected to last 3 months but he said he'd come back every weekend to see me and that it was just temporary I couldn't even respond I just stared at him with the noodle hanging out of my mouth my heart was doing somersaults Brian started laughing and said look at
You Ellie your mouth is opened so wide you're basically drooling come on I'll be back every weekend poor Brian he didn't even know what I was thinking right now this coincidence was such a perfect ingredient for my revenge recipe because now I could carry out my revenge
On his mom without him knowing Brian had no idea what I was up to and I felt kind of bad he really loved me and I didn't want to hurt him by doing this to his mom but I had to I had to get revenge nothing else mattered later that night
We were watching a movie together in bed and as the movie ended Brian said he was exhausted and wanted to go to sleep but my phone beeped right at that moment it was a text from Clark I didn't want Brian to see so I took my phone to the
Bathroom to reply to him and it said thanks for your support tonight due to that I had came up with a possible solution for the proposal for the rest of the night while Brian slept sweetly next to me Clark and I texted back and forth all night so far it looked like my
Plan was working then the next week Brian left for his business trip and as expected he was so busy he couldn't make it back every weekend to see me I missed him so much but I was also grateful because it gave me time to really get to
Know Clark and during those 3 months we became quite close of course during that time Sasha still consistently flirted with Clark it was super awkward because he clearly wasn't Ed one weekend we had a team bonding trip and went standup paddle boarding Sasha pretended she couldn't do it and kept asking Clark to
Help her but he pretty much ignored her and hung out with our other colleagues instead and then she asked him to join her for lunch one day but he said he was busy and I just had to laugh because actually he was having lunch with me I
Had to be really careful that she didn't discover I was flirting with Clark because then I could lose my job and my plan would have failed also not to mention the fact that that I was engaged to her son and if any Mom saw her daughter-in-law to be flirting with some
Other guy she'd freak out honestly it was nerve-wracking I was constantly on edge terrifying that she'd noticed what I was up to and there were a couple of times where she almost caught me one night both Clark and I worked late and we left the office together and planned
To go for a drink but as soon as we got in Clark's car I saw Sasha pulling into the car park she spotted Clark and his car she literally drove her car toward us her face was so cheerful that I knew she would walk toward Clark's car when
She got out of her car at that moment I knew I had to get out of Clark's car ASAP before she noticed me I excused Clark that I'd left my phone upstairs and before Clark could have any responses I got out of his car and ran
As fast as I could just only when I safely hid behind a big pillar did I stop to breathe and realized that my heart almost exploded from fear from that time I was more careful with Sasha but but it was so hard a day when I was
Making a move to Clark in his office I sat close to him and gave him an affectionate look and someone knocked on the door I abruptly got off Clark because I thought that was Brian's mom again I breathed a sigh of relief when realizing it was only Clark's secretary
Yet my heart was still beating very rapidly it was all worth it though after 2 months of flirting with him he confessed to me that he liked me when I read the text from him I was so happy I actually squealed i' done it now for
Part two of my plan I was going to use Clark to find out exactly how I could make Sasha's company collapse into a million little pieces so when Clark asked me to be his girlfriend I agreed but on one condition that we kept it a secret Clark agreed to this because he
Knew there would be lots of troubles if Sasha found out and honestly Clark treated me so nicely even nicer than Brian did he showered me in gifts and he really listened to me anytime I told told him I liked something he remembered and would surprise me with it the next
Time I saw him at work we had to keep things on the down low but every morning I'd find a handwritten love note in the drawer of my desk it really made me feel guilty because it was clear Clark liked me a lot and there I was just using him
For Revenge the company was about to release the new app they'd been working on for the past year and it was expected to make the company gained a huge market share and beat all its competitors including my old company so I I started doing overtime with Clark so that I
Could get access to the info on how the software for this app had been created it was top secret info and as a junior project manager I had no right to this info my old company would love to get their hands on This Confidential info and with it they could easily kick
Sasha's company to the curb and dominate the market then she'd have lost not just her Crush but also her career served her right for what she did to me and my family one night after we'd worked worked super late he turned to me and said we should get going I'm exhausted
He went to the toilet before we left and asked me to sort out the documents as soon as he left the room I took photos of the app development plan and all the different steps in creating the software this was like gold but Clark was too
Quick he came back before I'd managed to take a pick of the last document damn now I just need to find another opportunity to get that last bit of info but I had to act quickly because the app was about to be released and my old company was urging me to send the
Documents ASAP that night I felt so anxious that I couldn't sleep what was I playing at I mean sure I wanted to get revenge on Sasha she deserved it but this would crush Brian who I really did love and then what about Clark he liked
Me so much and had no clue that I was just using him he'd be devastated if he found out how had I gone from being an independent single girl with no interest in guys to the kind of girl who to timed I couldn't stop thinking about it all
But I had to focus the Revenge plan needed to go ahead the next morning I woke up feeling exhausted but luckily it was the weekend I'd arranged to go over to Clark's place to try and get my hands on that last document but unfortunately Clark wasn't interested in talking about
Work he said it was the weekend and he just wanted to relax with me then he suggested we rent bikes and cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge and have a picnic to watch the sunset wow it ended up being the Best Day Ever I felt so happy
And I hadn't realized how funny Clark could be we laughed nonstop and I didn't want the day to end we kissed under the sunset how romantic it was but little did I know what was waiting for me at home hey guys Ellie here again again I'm
Going to share with you the final part of my story and trust me you won't want to miss it in part two of my story my revenge plan really got underway Brian went to New York to work for 3 months and I managed to seduce Clark now we're
Dating and I almost have all the info I need to make Sasha's company crash but after an amazing day out with Clark I came home and you will not believe what was waiting for me Brian was there he was sitting in my living room and he looked so angry he'd flown home that
Afternoon and couldn't wait to spend that weekend with me but when he arrived at my house to surprise me I wasn't there he was about to call me to ask where I was when he received a photo from his friend it was of me and Clark
Turns out his friend had seen us sharing a picnic by the Golden Gate Bridge and had sneakily taken a photo of us kissing each other and sent it to Brian and he was mad he started shouting at me saying how could you cheat on me like this he
Looked heartbroken and all I could do was cry I couldn't even explain myself because the truth was much worse if he knew it was just to hurt his mom he'd never forgive me in the end he stormed out leaving me there crying but I had to
Be strong I had to focus on my revenge I didn't have time to sit and cry over Brian for now I'd have to put him to the side and try not to think about him when one day rolled around I was exhausted I'd barely slept the whole weekend and
Couldn't bear going to work but I had no choice the day dragged by and by the time 5:00 p.m. rolled around I waited until everyone left and then I went to Clark's office I gave him a hug and he started massaging my neck and said baby
You look so tired what's up I replied saying no I'm good in fact I'm much better now that I've seen you although I would say no to a cup of coffee of course Clark happily went and made me me one and as soon as he was out of the
Room I ran to his desk and started rumaging around looking for the documents but I couldn't find them anywhere had he put them in a drawer I quickly checked but while I was doing that Clark walked back into the room Ellie what are you doing I got the
Fright of my life and stood up saying um nothing just helping you tidy up your desk it's such a mess at that moment my phone suddenly beeped I went to grab it but Clark got to it first oh no suddenly his face changed as he read my text then
He said what's going on Ellie you better explain yourself quick he handed me my phone back and I couldn't believe it it was my old colleague Amy asking if I'd got the last document yet to show how the app was put together I felt so sick
And I knew I couldn't lie anymore I looked back up at Clark and in tears I told him everything Clark I know you're probably going to hate me after I tell you this and I don't blame you but please just hear me out Sasha is a nasty
Y woman she was actually my dad's mistress when I was a kid and she tore apart my family I'm so sorry Clark but I'm actually engaged to Brian Sasha's son I only took this job because I wanted to find a chance to ruin her business and life as soon as I saw Sasha
Was interested in you I decided to try and get you to like me so that I can let her know what it's like when she loses someone she loves then by using you I'd take all the confidential info to to I'm so sorry Clark by the time I'd
Finished telling him I was crying so much I could barely breathe and I knew Clark would be deeply upset but instead something crazy happened he came over and hugged me he told me to calm down and then he said revenge is pointless Ellie it doesn't do anyone any good
Especially not you I know Sasha hurt you but you need to let that go it's in the past now sure it might make you feel good right now but in the long run will you be any happier I just cried even more then why was he still being so nice
To me I didn't deserve this I kept apologizing and he said he understood why I done it all and that he forgave me he said I know you have a good heart in there you just got a little lost that's all but promise me one thing please
Don't hand over the documents to your old company our company has worked so hard on this please don't do it Ellie well it was the least I could do after everything I'd done to him so far I promised not to hand the documents over and after I left Clark in the office I
Realized something I actually liked him not just as a friend or colleague but as something more I had actual feelings for him and now I'd gone and hurt him so much I felt awful and there were still a couple of other things I had to deal
With too as soon as I got home I called Brian but he didn't answer I knew I couldn't wait any longer so I left him a voice message explaining everything I ended the message by saying sorry but I knew Brian would struggle to forgive me
And I didn't blame him not only had I cheated on him I'd even tried to harm his mom anyway she was his mom even if she' done bad stuff in her past the next morning I quit my job people were shocked but I just told them I wanted to
Go home and be with my mom when I was packing my stuff at my office I found a note paper from Clark saying leave the grief behind and live happily my darling a good girl like you deserves happiness so Clark wasn't angry with me at all that's enough now I could leave without
Any worries over the next few days I packed up all my stuff and left San Fran my heart was aching the whole time but I knew I needed to get out of there and clear my head I just checked in at the airport when Brian called me I was so
Nervous to answer his call as I hadn't heard back from him since I left the voice message I held my breath as I accepted the call and prepared for him to shout at me but it didn't happen still with his usual sweetness and calm he told me he was so shocked by my
Message he hadn't known what to say to me it had taken him a few days to think everything through and now he said he was ready to talk I'm not mad at you Ellie he said but you should have shared your childhood stuff with me earlier and
Why didn't you tell me that it was my mom your dad ran off with we could have worked through this I'm so sorry my mom was the one that tore your family apart but she's different now please just give her a chance Brian I'm sorry for everything I'm glad that you're not
Angry with me but to forgive your mom I think I need more time it seemed that Brian was about to say something but that's when I heard the airport announcement asking passengers in my flight to proceed to the boarding gate therefore I had no choice but to hang up the
Phone um Brian listen I'm so sorry but my plane is ready for boarding can I call you back soon huh where are you going he asked I told him I was going to stay with my mom for a bit well I reckon that it'll be better
For you now take your time and think things through especially our relationship I was startled as he said our relationship but realized he was right I definitely needed some time to work things out could I ever forgive Sasha I loved Brian but was that love big enough to leave all this behind I
Mean I didn't know whether I could see Sasha as my mother-in-law or not and how would my mom react to this I got on the plane and sat down for the first time in months my heart felt more peaceful again and I felt like I could really sleep
It's right neither Brian nor Clark hated me things would would be okay I was just about to close my eyes when I heard someone say my name I looked up and to my complete shock Clark was walking down the aisle of the plane he sat in the
Seat right opposite me and turned to me with the biggest grin and said I've never been to La before want to be my tour guide oh my God I couldn't believe this what was he doing here I was so shocked to see him but at the same time
There was no denying the excitement I felt no one could ever say I led a boring life that's for sure I gave Clark a smile and said sure to him I have no idea what the future holds for me but I guess I'll find out soon wish me
Luck I stand here before you looking back fondly on the 4 Years of Legacy we've all made together do you see her the girl in the graduation gown giving that awesome speech well that was me Taylor Flores take a look at my parents they looked so
Proud of me oh but I will never forget this face this is Jonas my Arch Enemy we were the top two students in our school and had been competing against each other since forever but too bad Jonas you lost the final battle because I was the one to give the graduation speech
Not you it's safe to say that I had it all figured out after high school first I would move to New York to attend the most prestigious College in the city majoring in English of course then when I graduated from college I'd write my first novel then publish it to
Acclamation and Glory now that's what I call a perfect plan just wait for it you will see my face on thousands of book covers Taylor flores's time has come I want those pages by the end of Friday else be prepared for a pay cut this
Month I hate deadlines as you can see my life didn't exactly turn out as I planned what went wrong you ask well after I graduated from college I pursued my writing dream but every agent and publisher I sent my novel to rejected it I kept pushing myself to write more but
Then I ended up having writer block I couldn't create stories anymore so I decided to switch to writing for newspapers I used to think that if I had to write for a newspaper then it had at least be a famous one but life is not a fairy tale on the contrary it's actually
Cruel and unfair well at least it was to me because my preferred newspaper rejected me a bunch of times so now I ended up here working for this unknown News website with an alltime grumpy manager okay so back to what was happening at the office suddenly my
Phone buzzed through an email oh no it's an invitation to my high school reunion no way I could go back to my hometown and see everyone they'd all see what a loser I'd become and I'd be the joke of the party all the worst case scenarios were running through my mind until a
Call from Amelia came it's my bestie from high school she asked me if I was going and I told her for never in a million years if you don't go then everybody will assume that you failed in life and you're too ashamed to go so the
Best thing you can do is to attend and keep your head up high man Amelia really had a point and was great at persuading other people no wonder she's now a lawyer so here I was in front of the venue feeling so nervous that I thought
I may throw up but it's now or never right I just needed to put my game face on I entered the room to a load of unfamiliar faces huh was I in the wrong place I was about to leave when I suddenly bumped into somebody and fell
On the floor ouch I looked up it was a chubby lady who was holding her baby in one arm and gripping a toddler's hand with the other I instantly apologized I'm so sorry I hope I didn't hurt the kids oh it's fine you're looking my belly was big enough to block you she
Then paused and took a closer look at me is that you Taylor you look great let's get inside the party just started wait she knew me but who was she I guess she did look familiar maybe I should wait for Amelia and ask her as she had kept
In touch with most of our classmates I looked around trying to find someone familiar to have a chat with but my gosh why was it so hard but then I saw a woman who had beautiful long blonde hair and I instantly knew who it was Jessica the hottest and most popular girl in
High school and the captain of the cheerleader team I walked over to her and we began to catch up we chatted a lot and she was so funny hm I don't remember her being so hilarious my God you're so funny Jess hey Jessica I heard Amelia Shout I
Looked over at her and she was walking towards someone else it was the chubby lady from earlier so she's Jessica oh my she definitely changed a lot but if that was Jessica then who was this thank God I didn't say her name earlier I excused myself from this mystery person then
Whispered to Amelia asking who the lady was I was talking to pets me why don't we ask her directly she then did exactly just that the lady gave us a playful smile saying try guessing are you Ashley nope Natasha wrong Tiffany negative wait are you related to Jack Miller you kind of look
Like him almost correct oh my she wasn't related to Jack Miller cuz she is Jack Miller well now she's Jill Miller turns out she never felt comfortable being a boy so after high school she underwent transgender surgery wow that's incredible I kind of felt overwhelmed so I went to the
Bathroom to freshen up on my way out I saw a familiar face it was Luke the most handsome guy in high school he was picking up trash and putting it in the garbage can a what a nice guy we talked for a bit and oh turns out he works here
As the janitor he was the one who recommended or organizing the reunion here and he was cleaning up as much as possible so later it wouldn't take him so much time for real who would have expected that I went back to the party and saw Amelia talking to a guy oh who
Is this handsome dude Amelia beckoned me over and introduced him to me I couldn't believe my ears it was Jonas my Archen enemy The Chubby dwarf Jonas with a face full of pimples now resembled an abber and fit model Jonas just told me that he's been promoted to a higher position in his
Company seemed like he still kept his bragging habit some things never changed suddenly Jonas asked me and what about you Taylor how has it been going for you lately oh snap I couldn't tell him that I was working for this awful news website that would be so humiliating so
Thinking fast I blurted out that I was a manag ing editor for this huge newspaper in New York Jonas and Amelia looked at me in shock in your face Jonas if I had a mic I would definitely drop it I asked Jonas what position he was
Promoted to and he replied oh I um got Chief technical officer huh nice try but it was no match for my amazing job I won that battle loser well in general the reunion went pretty well even though I had to lie about myself but whatever it's not like I was going
To see Jonas again right wrong a week later I received a Facebook friend request from him first I ignored it but then a few days later he texted me via messenger asking why I didn't accept him on Facebook that was so annoying fine but first I had to readjust my page I needed
To hide photos statuses and tags that were related to my company done then Jonas began to text me it was nice seeing you the other day would you like dinner sometime um I'm sorry what was he asking me out on a date or was
This a prank cuz I live in New York I told him that and oh my God he lives in New York too great but the thing is I told him last time that I'm an editing manager and that's a busy job so during our date I asked Amelia to pretend to be my
Secretary and call me a bunch of times during dinner however before we could play our act Jonas was the one who received a dozen calls and then had to leave early because of an incident at his company after that he texted me quite a lot but still feeling bitter
From being ditched at dinner the other day I only replied to him after 30 minutes every time but on days when he didn't text me I found myself staring at my phone longing to hear from him Jesus I was falling for him Jonas why Jonas I couldn't understand myself anymore and
Was unable to stop my feelings so when he told me he liked me I said I liked him too and soon we became a couple it was great at first but then Jonas insisted that he drive me to work and pick me up oh no I refused of course but
He wouldn't take no for an answer so when Jonas dropped me at the fake office I had to run no I had to Sprint five blocks to my real office to make it on time and then in the evening I had to leave 30 minutes earlier to run
Back to the other office and wait for him to pick me up the first three times I could handle it but Jonas wanted to drive me to work every day that's enough I needed a break from all this running eventually I came up with an excuse
I bought a bike and told him that I wanted to ride to work as it would be good for my health po I didn't have time to run five blocks each day anymore cuz I had an important interview to prepare for oh yeah I was applying to my dream
Newspaper again if I did get in I don't need to lie to Jonas anymore and luckily my interview went pretty well I had a smile on my face as I walked over to the elevator first it was just me and then a bunch of employees went in the elevator
Was about to close when suddenly from the outside someone put his hand between the doors please wait and that's when I saw a familiar face Jonas our eyes met and we both looked shocked then one of the employees said to him hey boss I already finished the
Report and we'll send it to you this evening what why did the guy say that to him when the elevator reached reached the ground floor I quickly ran out of it Jonas ran after me held my hand and said wait let me explain what is there to
Explain we both lie to each other Jonas held me in his arms and tried to keep me calm then he began telling me everything oh my God turns out he's the actual editing manager of this newspaper uh well that explains a lot I should have known he didn't work
Technology as I once asked him to repair my laptop and he ended up locking himself out of it hearing you say you had my job shocked me I didn't want to embarrass you so I made up another position so he knew right from the beginning I was lying then why did you
Insist on driving me to work when you already knew I didn't work there I was just messing with you besides I was kind of curious to see how long you could keep the lie up for I'm sorry sorry but the truth is I like you I have liked you since high school back
Then I was always competing with you cuz I wanted you to notice me I thought I was about to throw a tantrum but thinking back it was all my fault if I hadn't lied in the first place then Jonas wouldn't have had to lie about himself right at that moment I received
An email from Human Resources oh God I got in they were so impressed by me that they had to email me right away I was so happy that I hugged Jonas as he said congratulations newbie now let's get to work your first task is to go out on dinner with me yeah
So now Jonas and I work at the same place and he's my boss I used to hate losing to him but now that he's my boyfriend I feel fine actually I'm really proud of him here I was confronting my greatest fear math Wendy Focus what is 9 + 11 a 19 or
B 21 the numbers world around me panic set in uh um 9 + 11 1 2 3 4 5 = 19 no 21 great numerical Gods why is this so confusing you're so extra sit up I'll show you again I still don't get why I
Have to do this though it's not like I'm going to school yeah I quit school not long ago to help Mom out making a couple of bucks in case you haven't noticed we're dirt poor I'm Wendy by the way 15 and fabulous well sort of I know I'm a
Big silly goofball but the good thing is my brother Leo does not share the same brain cell with me that guy ate knowledge for breakfast he went to this Elite High School on scholarship of course and always the top student 3 years in a a row that's like genius mom
Also said he's our only ticket out of poverty that's why she held three jobs at once while I gathered scrap metal to sell to the scrap yard to support his study the three of us have been working hard to create a better life for our family but then one afternoon I suddenly
Noticed posters of Leo that accused him of breaking his classmates's arm what nonsense is this I tore them all down and rushed home to see a bunch of gangsters breaking our things my mom and Leo were in the corner begging them to stop stop what on Earth are you doing
What does it look like I'm doing brat I'm collecting compensation for your brother's victim he messed with the wrong person the son of a loaded family you got the wrong guy Leo wouldn't hurt a fly right Leo I turned to him but he just lowered his head in guilt and
Defeat how much then $3,000 3,000 you kidding right do I look like I'm kidding let her go just stop it all of you then Mom rushed to the kitchen and brought back all of our saving jars they're about $1,000 just take them and leave us alone I'll pay the rest later
The thug let me go and grabbed the jars we'll be back next month for the rest mom fell to her knees she looked so hopeless amongst the mish mash Mom Wendy I'm so sorry please let me help the school already suspended me for a whole
Month I'll I'll get a job I'll pay for the debt no my boy use this free time to study once you come back to school I want you to be the perfect student so no one can ever look down on us again okay but what about the dead just leave it to
Me I'll work some extra shifts here and there and everything will be sorted now go study thank you Mom I won't let you down again then he left the room that's when Mom's smile wears off I knew she only said that so Leo could have his
Peace of mind the truth was no amount of mom's extra shifts could get us 2,000 by next month I think if the math was right it's time for me to save the day I tried to get a job but somehow they all lasted for only one shift like when I was
Waiting for this Diner all the food and drink just fell out of my tray or that time when I work at construction site and I got my foot stuck on the thing I just buil I came home feeling deflated just then there was a knock at the door
It was Nathan Leo's best friend I could instantly feel my cheeks heating up hello her to Wendy are you going to let me in or are we going to stand here awkwardly uh oh uh sure come on in you look uh exhausted you sure you're all
Right it's just the whole thing with Leo I've been trying to get a job to pay for the debt but nothing worked I'm sorry all that happened to your family and I want to help you but there's something you should know first after the talk
Nathan got me a job as a maid for his cousin Zach's house other Maids were showing me around when get out a maid ran past us crying her eyes out what was that that is the young Master's Z throwing a tantum he's the illegitimate son of the light master and was only
Brought here 5 Years Ago by his grandfather and let's just say Madame Linda his stepmom is not so thrilled about it they've been on each other's necks ever since the girl you just saw was Madame Linda's favorite she's been a thorn in Master's outside for a while
Now then I got to find a way to get on both their good sides to prove that I'm perfect for this job okay first day at work Madame Linda was complaining about Zach's toy car collection so I threw them all away but Zach went Bonkers on me and went rumaging through the
Junkyard to find every single one of them sorry Master Zach it's just Madame Linda oopsies he immediately medely stormed off to confront Madame Linda I felt bad so to make a m between them I cooked his favorite soup and told him that Madame Linda made it for him as an
Apology but as he took the first bite his face turned green and dashed to the nearest toilet oops one rainy day I was taking the trash out and saw a strange woman peeking from the fence she suddenly tripped so I helped her up asking if she was looking for someone
But she just ran away wao Jesus how long have you been standing there long enough come inside it's freezing out here uh sure later that day I was cleaning Madame Linda's room when accidentally knocked over her jewelry box it crashed on the floor spilling jewelry everywhere
One of the bangal snapped in half I frantically pocketed it to fix it later when the gruff Butler swung the door open I apologized and promised to fix the jewelry box but he still insisted on firing me just then Zach stepped in and ordered him to let it slide Zach then
Stayed and watched me fix it where'd you learn to do that it's nothing I grew up in a trailer park everything we own came from the junkyard they just need a little fixer upper I I've been doing it since forever so you got a gift besides reusing things is cool whatever you say
Pretty guy say you want to hang out sometime like a date maybe won't your girlfriend get jealous what girlfriend I'm very single and ready to mingle right now sure why not on the weekend Zach took me to his favorite coffee shop and I got to see a softer more caring
Side of him turned out he never got a girlfriend so I made him a flirting tutorial for a price of course at first I thought he was just practicing on me by giving me flowers and fancy chocolates but then he continued to woo me with my own list he
Set up a romantic picnic under the stars in the backyard took me to the park and we watched the enchanting sunset together that night we walked back to the mansion before coming inside Zach stopped me these past weeks that I've known you have been the best moments of
My life Wendy I think I've fallen for you will you be my girlfriend where did you learn those cheesy words do you like them is it hot in here or is just you stop I just need you to promise to be on my side no matter what I promise when
Zach left I returned to my room I pull out my diary and then ticked off the last box on my list well it was fun Zach but everything must come to an end soon you'll pay for everything you did to my family I knew the truth back when Nathan
Came to our house there's something you should know first your brother was tricked he didn't start the fight a guy mocked your poor family so Leo turned aggressive after the incident the guy was salty Leo beated him so he faked a broken arm and had his family come for
Yours they don't need your money they just want you to suffer and who's that guy he's Zach my cousin what he did was wrong so I'm on your side on this and there's another thing Nathan played a video of Linda and her thugs threatening my mom and demanding more money my rage
Became scorching that moment I decided to get revenge that's why I became a ma at Zach's house sabotaged his relationship with Linda and made him fall for me everything was going just as planned so far but the next thing I knew mom called me to tell me that Leo had
Been expelled from school and ran away from home my blood was boiling that's it today the day Zach goes down I pulled out Linda's broken bangle and placed it on my bedside table during the daily room check the butler spotted it right away and informed Linda she rushed over
To reprimand me for stealing her jewelry just then Zach swooped in to defend me Zach you have to trust me I didn't steal it I just wanted to fix it before R turning it to Madame Linda don't worry I believe you you heard her I know you
Despise me but don't you dare drag my loved one into this oh finally put it out in the open huh you and your lowlife girlfriend birds of a feather you're right we're alike and that means we're nothing like you you evil witch H let's see how you like it alone on the streets
Guards throw them out now the next second Zach and I were dumped on the sidewalk along with our belongings watching him grappling his stuff I couldn't help but chuckle how does it feel to be discarded like an unwanted object enlightening isn't it what are you saying you remember Leo the person
Who broke your arm who you used to extort money from my family I'm his sister I think you got it wrong Leo didn't break my arm he only shoved me to the ground and said something like don't talk nonsense about his family I didn't care but Linda kept telling me to skip
School the next day she must have used me to make a fuss you mocked my family for being dirt poor that's why Leo was so mad at you that's not true I used to be poor too you remember the woman lurking around the mansion that's my
Real mom she just wanted to make sure I was okay turned out Zach and his mom were abandoned by his dad because of their humble background then his grandpa found him though Zach didn't want to his mom made him come with his grandpa so he'd have a better life but what his mom
Didn't know was that heck of a mansion was the coldest most isolated place that is until you came and it hit me Zach is telling the truth that meant I had Tak revenge on the wrong person shoot I am so so sorry I had no idea and now you're
Kicked out Leo's gone and there's a huge debt I don't know what to do hey hey it's all right one thing at a time K I'm not mad at you or anything I just wish you'd told me but it's fine I don't really like that house anyway what about
Your brother he got expelled and left I'm sure he's okay I'll help you find him yeah thank you and I'm sorry I don't know how to make it up to you you don't have to I got a feeling you didn't come up with this Twisted plan I didn't it's
Actually your cousin Nathan I took Zach back to my place where he'd crash in the meantime mom was in tears she told me that Leo was accused of plagiarizing an essay so he could no longer go to that school school but Leo's too smart to do such a thing so Zach proposed we
Investigate at the school to find whose essay Leo supposedly copied we broke into the school's computer lab that night we were snooping around when suddenly Zach was grabbed from behind and dragged away I slowly turned around and was shocked to the core I sprinted to Nathan's house banging on the door
Nathan Zach Zach was kidnapped he's the air to Adam's estate they took him away for the ransom The Heir what do you mean your grandfather's lawyer came to see Zach and I overheard him your grandfather's sick so he authorized a lawyer to hand the will to his sole Heir
Zach the will do you know where it is if we swap it for a fake one with someone else's name on it they'll release Zach and Target that person instead great idea I think Zach left it in his bedroom maybe it's still there Nathan and I hurried over to Zach's house Nathan
Snuck into his bedroom while I was on the lookout at the door Nathan switched the wheel for a fake one and took out a lighter and set it on fire just then I turned on the lights scaring him to death what on Earth Wendy kill the
Lights or will be caught you mean you'll be caught then I open the door revealing everyone in his family and my brother Leo what's going on enjoying the taste of your own medicine cousin yeah you just got busted remember when we were at the lab I was shocked to the core to see
My brother muffling Zach shh be quiet or we get caught Leo I thought you left Mom was worried sick I know I'm sorry but I need to sort this out things have been sketchy ever since that incident with this guy and now this I got to prove my
Innocence so I came here and found this look turns out Leo's essay was identical to yours Nathan you took advantage of me to get revenge on Zach when he wasn't to blame you told Leo Zach was badmouthing our family to stir things up between them you made our lives miserable I
Trusted you I can't believe you'd go this far you're always obsessed with Grandpa's inheritance everything's a competition for you to prove that you deserve to be a successor all that work but still nothing do you know how many sleepless nights I had to study or to
Hatch a plan worrying mom and dad would blame me for not trying for not being better and you just showed up and everyone sees you as his Golden Child and all my efforts have gone to waste why Grandpa why not me you were left out of the will due to your greed and
Scheming Behavior now I know it's your parents fault and there will be severe consequences for them and you Nathan you will join the Army after graduation to serve the country get disciplined and come back a better man guards take them away as Nathan made his accent he paused
To the side of Leo and I I'm truly sorry for everything then he walked out the door in the end grandpa chose to give Zach his share of the fortune Zach however refused he never wanted the money all he wanted was to live comfortably with his mom so that night
He packed up his things and was ready to go back home his true home seeing Zach I realized bearing hatred towards someone cannot solve your problem it just puts you through so much pain and even hurt other innocent people along the way if best just to focus on yourself you do
You and things will work out on their own like now that all Mysteries are debunked our family is free of debt and Leo can go back to school full scholarship also to compensate for what we've been through Zach's Grandpa decided to start a charity fund and my
Family was the first to benefit from it they even helped my mom secure a steady job as for me I found a knack for making things and found my place as an apprentice at a Pottery Studio my co-workers have become my extended family they always make fun of me
Whenever he picks me up hop on we're going to a very special place today we too it's a surprise hold tight would you ever let yourself become so wrapped up in hatred that you change your entire life to get revenge on someone well that's exactly what I did
And it didn't exactly go to plan I'm Clara and I'm 25 years old it all started 5 years ago when my boyfriend Jason went to study abroad in France we were so in love at that time and it wasn't easy being apart but we coped surprisingly well Jason even promised me
We'd get married when he got back but after a few short months of him being away he started growing distant he no longer called me every day and he barely even replied to my texts I thought maybe he was just too busy and stressful to deal with his new life while struggling
With missing me so I decided to do something wild and fly to Paris to surprise him on his upcoming birthday I hadn't really thought about it I just excitedly got on the flight and taken a taxi to his apartment but well the moment I saw him walking into the lobby
I instantly regretted it there Jason was but he wasn't alone he was hugging and kissing some other girl and she even went upstairs with him I felt my blood boil and I wanted to scream but instead I just left I was so so upset but I was
Also angry how could he betray me like that going a long way just to see my boyfriend betraying me right in front of my eyes was a bad thing and I didn't think life could get any worse but I was wrong things were about to get much
Worse after leaving his place I booked myself into a nearby hostel and cried myself to sleep the next moment I was waking up to a burning smell oh God the host was on fire I was lucky to make it out of there alive but I was badly burned
And left with a huge scar on my face there I was heartbroken and burnt to a crisp in a foreign country where I knew no one and didn't speak the language I'd never been so lonely and ugly in my life as I looked in the mirror all I felt was
Anger and resentment towards Jason he destroyed my life and at all costs I would make him pay for it after I'd recovered I got on the plane and flew back to the USA that's when I started plotting my revenge I had a few things up my sleeve but first things first
Plastic surgery so as soon as I graduated I got myself a full face rework I even changed my name moved to a new apartment and lived with a new identity my life was miserable enough so now all I wanted was to start all over again and it worked after the surgery I
Turned into a completely different person just like I'd wanted and what's more I was even more beautiful than before the accident I felt incredible and couldn't wait to start living again of course I had to work my ass off to pay off my plastic surgery but it was
Worth it wasn't it more than that that was also how I tried my best to build a career for myself Jason would regret cheating on me for the rest of his life that's for sure and as planned after 3 years of working hard I eventually got promoted to a management position in the
Construction company I worked for and became a beautiful successful woman that many people admired at the same time a few of my friends mentioned that Jason had finally returned from Paris and was now working for a big architectural firm I almost laughed when I heard the company's name that was our new partner
Company oh things were about to get fun my friends also told me that he'd brought his French girlfriend back to the USA with him and that they were getting married soon what he was about to get married they seemed so happy together huh no wonder that for all
These years he hadn't tried to contact me once after I caught him cheating I just disappeared I could have been dead for all he knew but he didn't seem to care this made me hate him even even more there was no way a traitor could live happily like that I couldn't wait
Any longer it was time to put my plan into action so I told my boss I'd work on the project with Jason's firm at least this way I'd have an excuse to approach him at that first meeting I made sure I looked as beautiful as possible and waited with baited breath
Of course Jason didn't recognize me and well well well would you believe it he kept looking at me and flirting with me I found it hilarious and so kept flirting back and eventually he got the hint and asked me out what a jerk now I understood why I was abandoned in the
Past even when he already had his fiance he could still flirt leisurely with others his poor fiance I kept playing along and even made plans to befriend his fiance Valerie I knew she hung out in a certain Cafe so one day I went there and accidentally bumped into her
Dropping water all over her gorgeous outfit I kept apologizing and told her I'd pay to get it dry cleaned and eventually we started chatting and hid it off we exchanged numbers and I asked if she' like to go shopping sometime which she agreed to this was way too
Easy a few days later we went shopping and it didn't take long before she started confiding in me about how lonely she was and that other than her boyfriend she didn't know anyone here I smiled sweetly and told her I'd happily be her best friend at the same time
Jason and I were dating I pretended to fall for him even though inside I was furious at him I even told him I'd share some confidential work documents with him if he pampered me and treated me like a princess he seemed totally in love with me and spent all his spare
Time taking me out to dinner and buying me expensive gifts it's seemed like he was no longer interested in Valerie obviously Valerie came to me and told me that she was very sad because the wedding was coming soon but her fiance was just cold and acting weird on the
One hand I comforted and encouraged her but on the other hand I seduced Jason and took most of his money he'd even put my name on the house contract so technically I owned his place you know I wanted Jason to feel the pain of being betrayed by the person he trusted then
One day Valerie called me in tears and said she suspected her boyfriend was seeing someone else I asked her what her boyfriend's name was and where he worked and said she didn't need to worry I'd help her find out a few days later I sent Valerie a few photos of him
Cheating with me but obviously I hid my face however it was just enough evidence to make her suffer then I told Valerie that it looked like her boyfriend was working with this other girl on a project and that Valerie could get her Revenge by destroying the project that
Way he wouldn't be able to work with this other girl anymore Valerie totally fell for it it was insane the very next day I heard from my colleagues that Jason's crazy fiance had destroyed the final layout for the design of the two companies project she spilled water on
His laptop and threw it onto the ground while the deadline was coming it was too late to start it over apparently Jason's boss was ying and fired him immediately this contract was worth millions of dollars and he just ruined everything I had to give it to Valerie she didn't
Even think about it that's how dumb she was serve Jason right finally Karma had come and bitten him in the ass that evening I went over to their house Jason now has no job no money and he was about to lose his fiance and his house too I
Knocked on the door and when Valerie opened it she was shocked to see me but not as shocked as she was about to become Jason saw me and looked like he was going to pass out surprise I said hi Jason at this Valerie looked confused
And said wait do you two know each other I just laughed and said we sure do Valerie in fact I'm the other woman who he is cheating on you with and that's not all I'm actually Jason's then I turned to Jason that's right Jason it's me Clara Valerie when he came
To Paris he was dating me and then he cheated on me with you so I've been getting my sweet revenge both of them looked completely stunned and instead of shouting at me they started fighting with each other Valerie was screaming how could you Jason shouted back you're
Crazy if you hadn't ruined my laptop things wouldn't have been like this oh really if you hadn't cheated on me I wouldn't have done that Valerie said well bursting out crying pretty soon she found out that the house belonged to me now and all of his money and that's when
All hell broke loose I just stood there admiring how great my revenge had played out eventually they broke up with each other and I decided to kick them out of the house so my cherished Revenge plan for the past few years has been successful however there was just one
Problem the price I paid for it wasn't small when I showed up at work the next day everyone was whispering about me saying the project I'd been working on had been a complete failure and that it was all because I seduced the guy from our partner firm even when he was about
To marry his fiance it was a disaster my reputation was ruined I couldn't handle everyone being against me so I resigned I decided to spend some time at home for a while trying to clear my head I didn't get it I'd spent years plotting my revenge and now that it had finally been
A success why did I feel so bad I'd been so caught up in ruining Jason's life I hadn't thought how it would affect my life too I'd been delusional above all the joy and satiety of watching the two of them move out of the house was just temporary and what remained after that
Was just a feeling of emptiness what had I been doing I was just ruining people's lives especially with Valerie she was so innocent in all of this how could I have been so cruel then one day as I was walking down the street I saw her at the
Bus stop and she looked so sad and thin and it tormented me that poor girl didn't deserve this I couldn't just stand there and do nothing I had to apologize so I raced across the street but by the time I got there the bus had
Come and she had gone I decided to call her instead I asked if we could talk and at first she refused but once I said sorry and told her how terrible I felt about everything she agreed to meet me I was holding the keys to her old house
And as she walked towards me I handed them over she was surprised but then I started to explain Valerie I'm so sorry I didn't want to hurt you it's just that Jason broke my heart and for years all I thought about was destroying his life the way he destroyed mine I didn't
Realize you were so sweet and now I see how awful I was to you you don't deserve any of this you trusted me and I completely betrayed you at first Valerie didn't say anything then she started shouting at me saying she thought of me as her best friend and that she felt so
Pathetic for trusting me at this point I burst into tears I was was a monster the minute I started crying something changed in Valerie she hugged me I couldn't believe it after everything I'd done to her she still wanted to hug me we were there hugging and crying and yep
Finally something good had come out of all this mess I had a friend and very quickly this friend will become my best friend for sure you guys honestly I don't recommend wasting your time on Revenge I threw away so many years of my life obsessing over hurting Jason and in
The end it just hurt me and poor innocent Valerie from my own experience I just want to tell you that always be the bigger person and live for yourself not for others I want to meet Mr Garcia it's important I told the receptionist she looked looked at me confused and said
Sorry but no one under that name works here what but he's the company director the receptionist gave me this bewildered look then firmly said I'm sorry but no one under that name Works in this company maybe you've got the wrong building fine if she wouldn't help me
Then I'd find him myself Miss wait you're not authorized to go there and fortunately I didn't get very far before two guards raced over and pulled me away as I tried struggling free I yelled out this is ridiculous I'm your director's girlfriend suddenly a smart-looking man
Appeared in front of me and calmly said madam are you looking for Austin Garcia yes I nodded the man sighed then continued Austin did work here but I fired him months ago I have no place for someone with such lazy Carefree attitude in my company I stared at this man
Open-mouthed oh no so he was the director not Austin so my boyfriend had been lying to me from the start when the guards led me out of the building I saw people gopping at me and I overheard one of them say oh my God another gullible girl got scammed
This couldn't be happening to me Austin was my super successful rich and handsome boyfriend there must have been some mistake he couldn't possibly have scammed me could he I was showing my hemate Sarah the amazing designer bag Austin bought me when he walked into the room and slouched onto the couch okay so
What was with his glum look babe it's just that my company has this big project on I invested a 100,000 already with a five times return expected by the end of the year wow what a huge project I felt so proud to have such a perfect boyfriend but then he lowered his voice
Yeah looks like I'm going to have to bail on it I widened my eyes and asked why what's up I need to contribute another 50,000 by the end of the week but I'm still 10,000 short I blurted out I can help he shook his head babe I can't expect
You to do that besides where would you find that amount of money from at such short notice I'll borrow it from my friends or something don't you believe your girlfriend can do it I winked at him he kissed my forehead and then with a huge smile on his face told me I was
The best girlfriend ever after I counted up my savings and student loan I was still a few thousand short so I told a couple of my friends that my parents had been in an accident and I needed money urgently to pay for their Hospital fees
I know lying was lame but I'd pay them back soon so what would it matter right but then a week after I'd given Austin the money he showed up at my house looking completely bummed out he told me he'd met an unexpected problem and now he needed another
$115,000 else he'd lose everything I wanted to help him but I had no one left to borrow money from I thought he'd be understanding but instead he just said you can borrow money from a lone shark then in a month we can pay it back I
Gave him a confused look and asked him why he didn't get the loan himself he stroked my hair and in a soothing voice said I would if I could Hannah but you're a student so your interest rates will be much lower than mine H that made
Sense plus we were going to be together forever anyway way so what did it matter who took the loan out so that same day I borrowed the rest of the money from a lone shark and handed it over to Austin Hannah a voice shouted which startled me
From my thoughts Hannah give me back my money I need it urgently my friend Rachel glared at me I felt so flustered as I blurted out soon a few days I promise she rolled her eyes at me yeah whatever poof I thought you had a rich
Boyfriend right why don't you ask him to help you out I forced a smile and repeatedly told her I'd pay her back soon this was so embarrassing and now my friend hated me it was all that jerk Austin's fault the truth was that as soon as I handed
Him the money well he disappeared his online accounts number everything all gone I even found out that the house he claimed to be his was actually just some Airbnb rental oh and the designer bag he bought me fake the next day I was walking to my lecture when I heard two
Girls talking to each other Hannah owes people loads of money but won't pay it back um isn't she always boasting about having a boyfriend I lowered my head and hurried past them this was so humiliating I needed to figure out a way of finding that jerk Austin and making
Him give me my money back oh who Could That Be maybe it was Austin with a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything I ran to the door and opened it oh it's just some strange girl where is Austin tell him to come out here now she yelled and you are his victim he
Tricked me into giving him all of my savings she pushed past me and stormed inside Austin stop hiding from me and come out I pulled the girl's arm and asked hold up he also tricked you she looked at me with wide eyes oh gosh Austin's such a pro scammer after that
We sat down and she explained everything turns out she's called Leah and Austin scammed her out of $50,000 OMG that was so much money Austin is a real jerk suddenly my housemate Sarah and her boyfriend Weston walked in hey look I won this Tales of suspense volume 39 in the horse race bet
The other day you know it's super rare Weston was so excited showing Sarah his new precious comic book while I forced a smile at them both then quickly dragged Leah up to my room there's no way I wanted Sarah knowing that I'd been scammed entering my room Leah suddenly
Said hey do you want your money back I nodded of course I do but now I don't even know where he is she gave me this Sly Smile as she told me how Austin adored the Marvel Universe and that comic Weston had could be used to lure
Him in so we went downstairs waited for Sarah to go into the other room then we asked Weston for his help at first he refused but then we offered to split the money with him three ways eventually Weston agreed and so game on starting off Weston posted it on a comic book
Marketplace for half the price it was worth only $150,000 unsurprisingly it wasn't long before that snake Austin slithered into his messages great we arrived at the meeting spot super early and hid behind a bush 30 minutes later and Austin still hadn't shown up and I had a a dead arm
Ouch I whispered to Leah do you think our plan was leaked she grabbed my shoulder and shushed me Austin had arrived he took ages to check the book really carefully when they finished the exchange I jumped out of the Bush and shouted Austin there you are Where's My
Money his eyes widened in Terror and he quickly tried to run off the other way but Leah jumped out in front of him she sneered and rolled up her sleeves stepping towards him there is nowhere for you to run jerk Austin was terrified and stepped back then I ran up behind
Him and snatched the comic out of his hand girls look I he turned pale and immediately turned and hurried away he even lost a shoe on route but he didn't dare to stop to pick it up it was so hilarious watching him hobble off off thank you so much Leah it felt so
Good to get revenge anytime we clinked our glasses together girl power and all G my head hurts so bad H where's Leah I guess she must have gone home I went over to my closet um where's the backpack with my money in it I frantically turned my room upside down
Looking for it could it I called Leah but there was no answer that was it Leah and Austin were definitely the same why did I have to be such a gullible idiot there was a loud banging on the door so I opened it two huge guys were standing there hey
Beautiful pay us back soon or else then they left I freaked out not knowing what to do find Leah and Austin it's futile I know it so I started working like crazy I delivered newspapers and milk in the mornings then waitressed most evenings I
Was so exhausted but I had to find a way to pay off my debt before I drowned in it then one morning Sarah came downstairs to find me asleep faed down on my piece of toast she gently shook me awake then told me she'd got me a paid
Intern job at her uncle's Hospital yay thanks Sarah you're the best the first day at my new job went well so I decided to reward myself with a bagel in hot chocolate in the canteen that's when I walked straight past her Leah she spotted me too and ran off but
I chased her into a dead end where's my money I didn't mean to do that I'm sorry she sobbed out then she told me how the the night that we'd been celebrating she'd received some bad news her brother was in an accident and needed emergency surgery panicked she took the money for
His hospital bills are you tricking me this is 100% true she wiped at her tears hm maybe I felt a little bit sorry for her but no what she did wasn't cool besides she could be lying to me I mean I did ALS o use the ill relatives excuse
To get money off my friends so I dragged her to reception to check turns out she's telling the truth her brother is in a coma and the bills are obviously very expensive what Leah did sucks but she's all her brother has so I guess I can kind of understand why she did
That so it looks like I've got to continue working my butt off for now that weekend I was about to leave for work when I opened the door to see those thugs back again they shoved past me and started picking up valuables I shouted at them to stop and that I'd get their
Money to them soon but they didn't listen to me then they picked up Sarah's laptop oh no right at that moment Leah showed up and demanded they stop right now then she proceeded to pay them what I owed them huh what how did she have the money well
It turns out Leah's brother woke up from his coma they talked and she found out his specific research had just won first prize in a nationwide competition so he gave her the prize money and told her to pay off my debt I was so estatic I flung
My arms around her and kept on saying thank you now I was debt free pH I could finally pay my friends back and put all of this behind me huh what was that we both looked outside isn't that Austin but why does he look so frazzled oh
Turns out five angryl looking girls are chasing after him I looked at Leah then we both burst out laughing and that guys is karma just another beautiful Sunday I was in to Nanny Emma about my wonderful Adventure goodness that's incredible weren't you scared of course not dad
Taught me why are you still here Amy get ready for your piano lesson oh it's Mom again she rushed in snatched the phone out of my hand said go now or I'll delete all these videos okay just delete them nothing you do could ever make me care more about those noise making logs
Then I left to my room always ballet and piano and violin what kind of mother forces their kid to do things they don't like I won't back down this time I have my videos all back up online anyway she can't control me what huh what else I
Turned around to see Mom drop to her knees no no it can't be just this morning my husband was still dad had suffered a stroke on a trip to survey a gem mine and they couldn't reach the hospital Hospital in time to save him how could that be he's not only my dad
He's my bestest friend I bet the news is just as hard to deal with for my sister biona as she was always the one who went on business Expeditions with him he's the best dad we could ever ask for but he's gone and it felt like Emma and
Biona were the only people who really love me now just last week dad was sitting here next to me darling it's not good for you to just sit home and wallow why don't you get out of here for a few days and go where next week your sister
Is going on a trip to a new mine you can tack along I'm sure she'd enjoy the company I don't know I don't like business trips I'll bet you can make time for some Adventures while you're there there's bound to be hiking and things you like to do since when does
Mom support any of my hobbies she really must not want me around huh if that's what she wants okay then sure we were already running late for our flight when biona realized she had forgotten her passport I offered to stay with her but she insisted that at least
One of us should make the flight she assured me she'd be back in time for the next flight and we'd see each other soon so I hugged her goodbye and headed toward the gate while waiting for Briana to arrive I've already booked myself a skydiving session as recommended by the
Hotel's receptionist this thing is right up my alley but the weather doesn't look too good are you sure this is normal 100% that's what makes it special here people come from all over just for these wins this is what you call extreme sports isn't it yeah right bring it on
So in the count of three I was Free Falling it was an unrivaled exhilaration the ultimate thrill until I deployed my parachute instead of gently floating to the ground I was carried away by gust after gust of wind then I bled out I slowly opened my eyes what just happened
Am I in heaven now I look around to see nothing but a beach framed by a dense forest this place was clearly deserted maybe not so deserted there I saw a group of tribal people dressed in strange clothes wielding Spears I tried to move closer to get a better look but
Game over they all turned to my direction I duck down immediately but their footsteps grew louder I held my breath wishing for a miracle oh no this is definitely my end but unexpectedly the hand pushed me down further into the bushes as if they were trying to hide me
I looked up and saw it was a man talking to the other in a native language the talking stopped seemed like the rest had left thank you thank you so much handsome Mister sorry for bothering you I'm going to get going now I may have let you off but the others won't these
People are aggressive and will attack any Intruder oh he can speak English nice I'm saved now as I followed him through the forest he stayed quiet but I couldn't help brimming with questions where did you come from why are you here you're not a local right are you a
Scientist can you at least tell me your nameus okay silus may I borrow your phone to call my sister she'll pick me right up do you think I'd be here if I had a phone I also got here by an accident a couple of years ago living
Like one of them is the only way to survive around here at least until some someone comes to save us no no that can't be it wasn't a deserted island but I was certainly deserted on it we arrived at a cave on the other side of the island where according to silus the
Locals never roam around you'll be safe here I'll be right back I didn't need him to take care of me he may have stayed here for years but I won't I'll Escape it wouldn't be so hard to build a raft right so I gathered some logs you hungry silus came back and threw
Something wrapped in leaves ah get these gross bugs away from me I would rather starve these are a delicacy you have no taste stay here don't do anything stupid it's getting dark so I had no choice but to go to sleep hungry in the stuffy Mucky cave there's dirty moss and bugs
Everywhere ew at the break of dawn I couldn't stand it any longer I got up to continue working on my raft taada easy peasy now goodbye stupid Island but no my beautiful raft crumbled and sank as soon as it touched the water feeling defeated I laid on the sand in
Frustration suddenly I heard a whistle hm silus how am I supposed to get up there am I his pet or something what gives making me walk all the way up here mind you I haven't eaten in a day then let's go get breakfast but get changed
First he then took me to a river and showed me how to catch fishes what do you mean I'm supposed to get my breakfast with the stick watch and learn princess then silus jabed the spear into the water again and again until it's full of fishes okay want to challenge me
That's easy only it's not it's like the fishes could read my mind it's been like half an hour and still nothing there's plenty of fish in the sea but somehow you can't catch any don't expect anything from my batch whatever I'm not hungry I don't need him my sister will
Surely come and get me out of of here on our private Chopper soon but silus was really rubbing it in grilling fish in front of me until the delicious smell filled my nose but no way I'd give into this this is your best bet unless you
Want to try grilled rat or cicada or fine give me when we first met I thought you were cute but after seeing this H this smug Tarzan full now then it's time for work work so you're only keeping me around to be your SL leave do you want to keep
Living in that cave you shouldn't steal the bugs home like that we continue to walk deeper into the jungle until we reach this huge tree we should build you a shelter up there you'll be safe from the wildlife and the natives don't go to
This area does it need to be up so high if they are that dangerous how come you survive here this long are you playing me I got really lucky I was Swept Away by a storm while sailing alone and when I washed up here the natives were so
Ready to you know send me to God but thankfully the chief's daughter Nora desperately begged her father to let me live and for some reason he did that wouldn't happen to just anyone oh this nor girl must have been caught in some love at first sight that's why you
Stayed here all this time so romantic stop wasting time let's get to work building a shelter proved to be more difficult than expected and silus proved to be quite bossy hand me the Big Branch bigger Amy Rattan rope give me another knife just wait a second let me
Catch my breath you were so determined a few minutes ago go take a break I want to finish us Before Sunset I sat there watching Sila's work as the afternoon turned to dusk and I must have dozed off for a while as when I woke up the
Treehouse was done to be honest it was better than what I expected from him but where is he I looked around but the only thing I found was his scribbles on the ground stay here I was glad to have my own shelter but there is nothing to do
To pass the time time suddenly there was a sound must be coming from the tribe I followed the direction of the sound hoping not to get lost but soon enough I found a clearing where a group of the natives were gathered around a huge bonfire they were chanting something
Others were dancing others cheered it looked like they were having fun which hit me with a wave of homesickness for a moment I was so lost in their celebration that I forgot I was being stealthy uh-oh not again I could have tried to run but I froze thankfully
Silas stepped forward telling the others to stay as he approached we made eye contact briefly before he signaled people that the coast was clear then gave me a quick wink before returning to the fire shortly after I returned home Silas did too are you trying to get
Yourself killed I'm not kidding when I say it will be very bad if they find out about you I'm sorry I'm just scared and lonely I'm all by myself and my family must be looking for me everywhere to my surprise Silas came over to comfort me
Everything's going to be all right I got you who where how are you here she clearly didn't know much English but her weapon pointed at me was enough to know that she was angry Silas immediately ran over to calm her down I didn't know what they were saying but she left though not
Before giving me one last dirty look turned out it was Nora oh what a relief an acquaintance why didn't you tell me earlier don't celebrate too soon Nora insisted you leave immediately oh she knows how then I don't have much of a choice whether I Stay or Leave Here do I
Don't worry I'll take care of Nora and he must have because the days passed by and the natives never came to drive me out silus continued to visit me every day bringing cloves teaching me how to pick fruit swing on branches soon the work turned to play he started teaching
Me tribal dances and vocabulary and we visited the waterfalls and lakes around the island it's pretty fun it felt like going on adventures with my dad again confident in my knowledge of the island I started to venture out on my own but silus didn't prepare me for this the
Leopard showed itself and slowly moved towards me I tried to stay composed to find a way to escape even though every bit of me was freaking out when suddenly Nora jumped down from nowhere and petted the leopard as if it was her little kitten she gave it a fish and the kitty
Just happily ran away thank you so much I'm Amy silas's friend silus mine yes he's all yours I hate him so much I wouldn't even touch a strand of his hair silus ew no no Nora Huffs loudly before leaving here or maybe I shouldn't share
It with you since you hate me so much oh stop it my life was on the line it was not time to confess my feelings oops what did I just say I continued to stutter making lame excuses you're not even listening to me are you you haven't
Heard a thing I said huh what did you say he grinned and left without another word I couldn't stop smiling at the silly bracelet the island isn't really that bad I have the freedom I've always wanted I wake up with the sunrise and have things like this this really is the
Life one day the sun had already set and Silas still hadn't come over I was starting to worry when he arrived with Nora silus said she wanted to bring me some clothes I was relieved that she finally wanted to make peace but her expression confused me when I thanked
Her she didn't say a thing or even smile we sat around the fire silus and I talked about one thing after another oops we might have forgotten about Nora but the language barrier really is a big deal you know and so she just sat there sulking suddenly she stood up causing
Hot cold to Splatter all over me Silas hastily helped me clean my hands as Nora stormed off is she okay maybe you should go follow her but silus reassured me she'd be fine and went to find aloe vera sap for my Burns I think she misinterprets our relationship does she
Cuz I too thought there was something going on I was too surprised but managed to gather myself enough to reply clumsily sis who I don't think You' formally courted me sir tomorrow will be our first date then in the mushroom Forest what do you say I was glad silus
Had saved this place for a date because everything about it was curious and beautiful before long I had wandered far ahead of silus I knew I had gone too far but something drew me deeper into the forest I walked along this cave as I
Thought I saw a ray of light at the end and there really was the cave was not a dead end but it was just covered by Vines and oh my God this is like a whole another paradise that hasn't been discovered and there was wreckage of an old helicopter I immediately called
Silas over and he seemed to not have any idea about this either we explored the helicopter the whole morning but it was nothing except a rusted hunk of junk we were about to leave when Silas hit a button and the radio came to life we had
Found our new hobby since then we went there every day listening to music and pre-recorded content on the stereo but eventually we somehow got a faint radio signal and for the first time we had some connection to the outside world I normally didn't care so much for news
But my interest was piqued by a familiar sounding story right after the death of the biggest name in The Gem industry his wife was kicked out of the house any relations to the missing of the youngest daughter who will be the winner of the fight for his inheritance was this real
Were they talking about my family on the radio why would my mother leave I then recalled my mother's strange behavior before I left she for the first time encouraged me to go on an adventure and I somehow ended up here was it even a coincidence oh no how could a mother do
This to her own daughter calm down I believe there's more to this don't jump to conclusion yet personally I don't think Tigers ether young maybe maybe not not there's only one way to find out I need to go home immediately hey it's me again Amy last
Time we spoke I had made a huge Discovery but before we get to that let me just remind you how we got here my father's death left me completely devastated so Mom suddenly convinced me to travel to take my mind off of it but instead of having a good time I
Accidentally got stranded on this exotic island that's owned by a native tribe who do not like barners luckily I met Silas who helped me survive here and we actually have gotten pretty close we're having so much fun that for a second I forgot that I had to go back
Until I heard the rumor that my accident could have been staged with my own mother really have caused me to end up here I needed to go home immediately to find out and silus was willing to help with all his might but it's been a few days and I haven't heard anything back
From him I waited eagerly then impatiently for him to come finally one afternoon I heard a noise outside I quickly went down to check to my surprise it wasn't Silas it was Nora and as usual she looked annoyed to see me I tried to tell her silus wasn't here but
She pushed past me anyway and grabbed a stick to draw something what are you doing abstract art there Island I see people then I got it there's an island with people can we get there yes can go we can take a boat there she nodded
Again and Signal me to follow her oh my God I jumped with excitement maybe I was wrong about her Norah led me to the shore where she uncovered a small boat hidden behind a bush go away now go go Nora pulled me towards the boat sat me down and started pushing the boat
Towards the water isn't it a little late to sail now wind wind faster as we reached the edge of the tide I realized wait I need to tell silus I'm leaving Nora immediately became frustrated silus with Dad Danger her I didn't quite believe her but I also didn't know if
I'd get another chance like this I couldn't imagine leaving silus behind without a goodbye I felt a pit in my stomach but we will meet again someday definitely our family has all the money to rescue him later just hang on a bit more hun I'll go get help Norah kept
Pushing me and she's right the patrol could detect me at any moment so I started paddling away see you again silus but I only managed to go for a few feet and then it's like my boat got stuck on something I turned around to see Silas what do you think you're doing
Hey Norah said that there is an inhabited Island nearby and I didn't want to miss the chance get off the boat it's too dark and too dangerous to go out there by yourself I'll go and check it out first and come back by morning to
Let you know if it's safe stay here I was confident in his sailing ability but it seemed Nora wasn't she ran to cling to his arm begging him not to go still he ignored her and got on the boat Nora glared at me before storming off but I
Stayed on the shore for a moment while watching Silas disappear into the dark sea soon enough the winds grew stronger and the rain started coming down hard the storm lasted through the night I stayed up waiting in the cave where I spent my first night on the island the
Rain stopped by Dawn I couldn't sit still and kept marching back and forth along the shore looking for any signs of silus Nora returned soon after yelling at me in her native tongue I didn't understand anything she was saying but I knew she was just as worried for Silas
As I was he'll be back soon safe and sound I trust him and moments later there he really was coming back to shore I couldn't help but run up and hug him as soon as he stepped out of the boat I asked if he was okay and how he dealt
With the rain and Silas answered all of my questions with a tight hug but soon we were interrupted by Nora she shouted angrily and then stormed off Silas chased after her and said some things that seemed to calm her down that island is actually your family's gem mine I've
Let them know that their boss lady is alive and well and ready to go home oh my god really they have their ship ready just a bit fever offshore since it's dangerous to get close to the island you know just sail out a little bit and they'll pick you right up yay I'm
Finally leaving we're finally silus stopped walking and looked at me sadly come on let's go I can't go with you Nora will only let you go peacefully if I stay here if I try to leave with you she'll tell her father my heart sank we'll see each other again I promise how
Where there's a will there's a way silus squeezed my hand and then let me go I tried not to look back at him as I got down to the boat and set sail I traveled for what could have been a few minutes or a few hours I couldn't tell anymore
Until I was finally spotted by a larger vessel they set out a Lifeboat for me and once on board I was well taken care of by everyone offered food and warm clothes but first thing first I had to contact my family I called home and the person on the other end was my
Grandmother she's as surprised to hear my voice as me hearing hers turns out after all the shenanigans that happened after my father's death my grandma had moved into our house to take care of things and wait for my return we cried for a good 10 minutes and then I told
Her not to worry I was safe and then I'd be home soon when I got home Grandma Nanny Emma and my sister biona rushed to greet me as my sister hugged me tightly I realized how much I had truly missed them and also realized that my mom was
Really nowhere to be seen no one made any mention of her in any way I worked up the nerve to ask my grandma about her right when the police said there were signs of Foul Play in your disappearance I already got suspicious then when Emma said it was your mother who suggested
You go there and play those silly games I immediately kicked her out people are truly full of surprises do you really think Mom was masterminding all this she was really trying to get both of you biona was lucky she forgot her passport don't be glum dear you still have me and
Biona and Emma too we all love you and care about you very much now go have some rest it must have been a long journey for you the next day as soon as I got up I went looking for my sister to confirm the things Grandma had said when
I found her I couldn't stop the tears from spilling out how could mom have been the one to do this why would she do something like this to her own children Amy never listened to a story from one side only huh do you know something I don't know just don't jump into
Conclusions yet she then excused herself to work and hardly left before I could ask anything else I kept thinking about what biona said but couldn't come up with any other speculation as I passed my parents' room I noticed a box sitting outside the door it's full of my mother's belongings nanny ammer is
Probably packing my mom's stuff out of here something in the Box caught my eye I opened it up and found that it was a photo album of me since I was a kid and next to each picture is some love notes this is definitely my mom's handwriting
My eyes landed on a photo of myself playing the piano and my mother wrote Sweet pee playing my favorite song she meant so well but I was always the ungrateful rebellious one was that why she stopped loving me did I do anything that terrible for her to want me gone I
Suddenly missed her I found myself taking the photo up to the piano room someplace I've never gone voluntarily but as I reached for the door knob I heard voices coming from the inside I peaked through the ajar door stop it it's lucky enough that you didn't get
Caught just get out of here before it's too late and throw all of my effort in vain no way my plan was going so well how on Earth could she survive so plan B you need to secure that spot in the board of directors before Amy gets in
The way and I'll take care of the rest but oh God them they were behind all this that night I waited until I had everyone together to make an exciting announcement tomorrow I'm officially going to start working for the company I've been working on a proposal to pitch
To the board of directors to gain their approval that's wonderful dear don't you think you need some sort of rest sweetheart you went through a big ordeal and I'm ready I'm totally fine well biona will also be retured to the company and I'm glad I'll be able to
Help her out the more hands the better I'm so glad you want to join the company later that evening Nanny came into my room with a warm glass of milk oh Emma you always take such good care of me well tomorrow is going to be a big day
And you need to get a good night's rest thank you finish your milk before it gets cold sweetie good night I hooked the warm milk glass and smiled at her as she walked out okay one last revision and then I'll go prepare my outfit for tomorrow but my eyes so TI tired
Suddenly I was woken up by a sound of the door then it slowly opened followed by footsteps someone is walking towards me she's looking for my documents aha time to wrap up your play Emma oh sweetie go to sleep properly in bed I'll I'll help you tidy up cut the ACT you
Witch what do you think you're going to find here my presentation for tomorrow jokes on you it's a trap but the milk youve drank it all you mean the glass of milk flavored hypn IC I've poured it down the drain sorry suddenly felt lactose intolerant bold of you to think
You can fool me in my own house I've seen everything but why do you want to take me down that bad Emma aren't we because my daughter biona deserves this company more than you before I could even process that information Emma was rushing towards me holding a chloroform
Soaked rag just as she backed me into a corner the door flew open my grandma and biona rushed in followed by the police Poli who restrained Emma right away biona ran over yelling I told you I didn't want any part in your schemes I would never ever hurt my sister biona
Did you know she was your real mother already not until after mom was gone then Emma told me everything sensing my confusion biona explained that Emma had a fling with our father many years ago but he wouldn't marry her because of her lesser status she was already pregnant
With biona at the time so our father allowed her to stay as a nanny when my Mom married married our dad she only knew that biona was her husband's stepchild I'm sorry I didn't come clean sooner I didn't know what to do because I didn't realize how far she was willing
To go but when I saw her messing with your drink I knew that I needed to at least warn you thank you for always being on my side and telling the truth now it must have been even harder for you to process all these but don't worry
We can still make this right Emma was trying to explain away her crimes as the police escorted her away in handcuffs they assured us Justice would be served we got in touch with Mom and by morning she was back home after some more crying and apologizing and explaining and
Hugging everything was as close to normal as it could be I admitted that I didn't want the responsibility of running the company but there was something I did want I wanted to return to the Gem Island and oversee the exploration of the new mindes what I didn't say was the reason I really
Wanted to return He was all I could think about as I embarked on my journey Back to the Island we took a big boat as far as we could before I needed to board a paddle booat to remain undetected once we reached native territory before I knew it the island appeared on the
Horizon my heart fluttered as I paddled faster and faster waiting for the moment I could finally see Silas again I was so focused on the land ahead that I didn't see the huge wave coming up from behind and overturned my boat when I opened my eyes I once again thought I was dead
This time it was because the first thing I saw was an angel's face silus Amy hi I told you we'd see each other again but my moment in heaven was interrupted by the trib's return we were surrounded by the natives hollering and pounding their Spears into the ground a
Man angrier and more distinctively dressed than the rest stepped forward this must be the chief he shouted something to the others and they grew quiet he shouted some more and all of their Spears were pointed at me and Silas I looked up at Silas his face didn't change he hugged me even tighter
Just when I thought the end was near I heard her familiar voice Nora was standing in between Oz and her father shouting desperately the chief's expression softened and after some discussion between them the chief gave another order which made Silas very surprised so yes thanks to Nora and all
The good deeds that Silas has done for the tribe they spared our lives but they ordered us both to leave their territory right away so Silas and I moved to the main island where my family's gem mine is located here we still have the beauty and simplicity of the wildlife style
While being connected to the rest of the world and helping manage our family business so it's okay that we're not allowed to stay on the tribes Island not to mention we still have a friend who often comes to visit Nora had nagged her father to allow her to come over to our
Island every few days it wasn't first because of silus but I think that she has set her sights on someone new Now this school is so boring all they do is talk nonsense and do nonsense things worse still I feel like I can never Escape them as some of them live in the same neighborhood as me but you know what the most annoying thing about my life is that's Joy my identical twin
Sister in my parents eyes she's perfect that's why she's the favorite Child her allowance is more than mine and she gets to attend an elite private school while I'm stuck at the most boring school ever how unfair with a sulky face I walked into my room whining I think having
Identical daughters means our parents forgot that there's actually two of us they've never picked me up from school don't be absurd they just took me to collect my dress for the school Gala huh a new dress for some fancy party how terrible for you I don't even want to go
Through the party trust a nerd like you not to appreciate what you have if I were you I'd make the most of every second of that Elite School of yours and if I were you you I would just enjoy my pressure-free life we both sighed and stared into a void thinking about our
Tiring lives then Joy suddenly turned to me oh my God Jade do you want to be me go to my school have my things and attend the gala what a brilliant idea why had we never thought of it before I'd live her fancy life and she'd live my doll one that's
Perfect wow this school is enormous I tried to keep my coal as I navigated the endless hallways in search of Joy's Locker ah found it I spotted a group of girls waving me over they must be Joyce besties Ruth Nora and Nell unlike my boring sister they looked very Glam in
Their branded clothes what a power group wherever we went all eyes were on us students handed us snacks saved places in the cafeteria line for us and let us sit in the front row of the basketball match these girls were so interesting but I fit in with them way more than Joy
Did talking about Joy she somehow loved my boring oldfashioned school I'd never heard her chat that much in my life about how nice my friends were how easy all the lessons were and how cool the school bus was Joy's friends were so much fun and they did cool things for
Instance they always had shopping dates and bought each other expensive gifts without question one time Nora the richest girl in the group didn't hesitate in going into Kate's spade and buying the new release handbag for Ruth I thought this was pretty awesome of Nora but then something happened that
Made me question the group dynamics Ruth told me that she liked the red velvet cupcakes at the bakery near my house and she asked me to buy her some I was happy to do it but the next day when I brought the cupcakes and told her the price she
Burst out laughing Joy my dear I don't care how much they cost that's your concern then she turned to Nora showed her a picture of a cute but expensive skirt and told her to order it for her hang on had she always been thinking it was acceptable to order us around like
This I don't understand why an innocent Bookworm like my sister would hang around with this cunning click they don't study at all during the test while I was still randomly circling the answer Ruth kept on kicking my chair and urging me to let her copy my work and as soon
As a teacher turned her back on us she even snaped my answer sheet huh what's with that attitude I took a look around and saw both Nora and Nell were also copying another girl's paper against her will rude after the test Ruth came up to me hissing have you forgotten our deal
Huh deal what could it be well I guess I would have to put up with Ruth for as long as I was Joy so I could return everything to her in roughly the same condition after the gala what I really should do now is just to enjoy the this
Elite school life right so I didn't join Ruth and her minions for lunch but bought food from this super cool vending machine instead they even had pizza but the machine made these weird sounds GH I think my food was stuck so I kicked and tapped it but it still didn't
Work you dare get into an altercation with the pizza machine you must be starving oh my God this basketball boy was the most handsome guy I'd ever seen in my life I was too lost in his eyes to realize the Dum machine had finally delivered my lunch this gorgeous guy
Then leaned towards me and my heart skipped oh Cupid I wish I was the one he picked up instead of the pizza here you go right before I could react someone snatched the tray and pushed me aside to enter between us thanks Hayden want to share lunch with me huh excuse me how
Could she steal both pizza and a boyfriend from me the boy took my pizza from her and said thanks but I'd like to share this with this cute starving girl instead I'll buy the drinks wait was he asking me then yes 100% yes leaving a furious Ruth behind us we walked to the
Bench table nearby so he's Hayden the captain of the basketball team we talked so much about our favorite comic books and even played basketball for a bit before classes that was my best lunch ever after school I was about to leave when Ruth stopped me didn't anyone ever
Tell you not to mingle with Hayden he's not wealthy we have high standards about who deserves to be around us duh huh she sure seemed to soon over him earlier but now that he turned her down she decided he wasn't worthy this girl's mindset really didn't sit well with me as soon
As I arrived home I told Joy everything you should listen to Ruth Hayden must be bad news I don't care what Ruth thinks how come you do is it because of this deal you have with her not your business but stay away from Hayden I don't want
To get in trouble this vague hints were agitating me what was it about but whatever the deal between joy and Ruth was I wasn't going to let it get in the way of my blossoming romance with Hayden today me and Hayden had arranged to meet at lunch again to play basketball I
Excitedly walked out of work class just as the girl fell and dropped her painting set around my feet I immediately picked them up for her when all of the sudden a boy's hand covered mine right before someone stamped their feet on our hands it was Ruth it was her
Who tripped up the poor girl too she did all that on purpose to hurt me but Hayden got there just in time to save the day what do you think you're doing feeling too embarrassed being caught red-handed Ruth couldn't do anything but give me a spiteful look before leaving I
Couldn't believe that Hayden did that for me his hand was swollen but he just kept checking if my hand was okay how can Ruth be so horrible because she knows everyone's ugly secrets and she uses them to control people Joy she knows your secret too right no uh um I'm
Not sure but I don't care no matter what that secret is she's gone too far don't worry I got your back so will I oh I'm Katie by the way from then on I no longer hung out with Ruth and her minions but I kept quiet about this to
Joy as I didn't want her freaking out and making us switch back places early the more time I spent with Hayden the more I found myself liking him I wanted to confess to him who I really am but I can't at least not yet anyway Katie is really nice to me too
And she introduced me to her super sweet friends everything was just perfect except my grades well I didn't dare to tell Joy about this either my study was pretty bad and it literally ruined Jo straight a record meanwhile Ruth Time After Time insisted that I was the one
Who had to do all her homework research and tests but duh I couldn't even finish mine you know what I've got yeah what exactly is that you have what's all the threat about Ruth was stunned seeing me talking back at her like that yep that was it I've had enough after class she
Waited at my locker and Signal me to follow follow her to the equipment room finally I can know what my secret was Ruth showed me a video on her phone of Joy sneakily checking her notes during an examination was she cheating if our principal sees this I'm sure your
Precious scholarship will be long gone and what about that excellent student title of yours so Ruth was using this to manipulate Joy does she do the same to everyone else do you think this would scare me I don't think I know you don't want to lose everything right h no Ruth
It's you who's going to lose do whatever you want with that clip like I care and so I walked away leaving a fuming Ruth behind to be honest I was a bit scared well I know scores and things like academic transcripts were so important to Joy what if I destroyed it all after
My last class of the day the thing that I feared the most Came Upon me the principal called me to her office office and showed me the video that proved that I cheated on a math exam she was so disappointed in my horrible grades recently she even asked if it was
Because I was too caught up in my dating life and the bad influence I called friends but how am I supposed to tell her that it was just my own incompetence nothing to do with Joy or Hayden or my new friends I just reached my room door
When I heard mom scolding Joy the principle must have called her it was all my fault when Mom left the room I could feel how angry and frustrated mom was Joy I'm so sorry I couldn't let Ruth have this hold over me um I mean you
Anymore I Waited For Joy to take it out on me but to my surprise she was kind of happy that's okay I think I should thank you for that I've never been brave enough to stand up for myself although I was so tired of getting picked on all
The time I was so scared but turns out being scolded by Mom isn't as bad as I thought my home room teacher also called me but she only gave me a warning and told me not to make the same mistake again I've never felt this at ease
Before Jade I'm not the perfect Joy anymore then Joy told me about the pressure she felt to be perfect one time she even got sick before the math test due to studying too much not having enough decent revision and being afraid of getting a bad grade Joy cheated and
Was caught and recorded by Ruth as evidence we finally understood each other and decided to teach Ruth a lesson to stop manipulating and taking advantage of others we spied on Ruth and secretly recorded her and guess what turned out she was not as wealthy as she always pretended to be all the brand
Names she had were from the poor victims that she called friends I also filmed Ruth forcing the top students to do homework and essays for the rich kids while she just sat idly to collect money I was so ready to post these videos online but joy stopped me she told me if
We did this we were just as bad as Ruth instead she had a better idea she sent the videos to Ruth and demanded her to delete all of the student secrets in exchange we would delete all of hers Ruth of course had no choice but to obey
Wow how mature my sister is my last day in Joyce life has arrived I'm just going to make the most of it before I hand the reins back to my sister honestly I kind of miss my normal school and my friends but what about Hayden will he still want
To know me when he finds out I lied to him I was looking around for Hayden when I saw some Mean Girls mocking Ruth for wearing a dress cheaper than theirs so I walked straight up to them and whispered into their ears that I knew all their dirty secrets and they couldn't do
Anything else but storm off Ruth gave me a koi look mumbled to thank you and then left at that moment a warm hand gently clasped mine Hayden wow you're so cool I I'm not that cool Hayden actually I am I have something I have to tell you I then
Told him everything from how I swapped identities with my twin sister to how I ruined her school life because of my childishness you didn't ruin anything actually you made things much better so since the pizza vending machine day till now it has always been you not Joy right
Yeah it's been me all along that's all I needed to know then he pulled me in for the best kiss ever all we can do now is pray the doctor said as he left the room I looked at Ethan lying on the hospital bed surrounded by medical equipment and felt
My heart sink then Elliot came over to me and said Charles I think you should maybe go home and rest there's nothing you can do right now yeah Elliot was right now I had to be stronger than ever and in fact if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't have made it through
This crazy time although Elliot was a newbie in our department we'd become close very quickly and I was so grateful for her I smiled at Elliot and offered to drive her home and then I went to see my mate Cooper he just got back from living abroad we'd been friends for
Years we first met at a gay pride party he was bisexual and I was gay at least I had been but now I wasn't so sure you see I realized that every time I was with Elliot my heart was beating faster than usual could it be that I got so lost in
My thoughts I didn't even see Cooper opening the door he looked at me and said dude what's wrong with you you look like you've seen a ghost I told him I was in deep trouble and really needed his advice lying on his couch I explained how my boyfriend Ethan was in
Hospital but that I'd started having feelings for a girl Cooper looked at me with sympathy in his eyes but then he just nudged me and said Charles Welcome to my life it's okay to have feelings for both men and women it's normal I asked him what I should do and he said I
Should just listen to my heart and let it decide and then he winked at me and asked to see a photo of this girl who was turning me by I opened my phone and showed him and he looked shocked his eyes went wide and I asked him if he
Thought she was hot too but then he said something that made my blood run cold she's my ex-girlfriend bro what waa what this couldn't be happening then Cooper told me how they used to date and had even said a wedding date but then something had happened and they'd broken
Up this was too weird what were the chances I wanted to ask him more about what she was like and why they broke up but from the look on his face was too painful to speak about plus it also made me feel a bit uncomfortable I could barely sleep that night worrying about
Ethan and thinking about Elliot and Cooper it was also strange the next day when I was conent ating on my work my manager suddenly came over and said Charles congrats you're doing so well I didn't expect one of your team members that you managed to get promoted so
Quickly huh what was he talking about no one had been promoted I was so confused he noticed how puzzled I looked and said didn't you know Elliot took over Ethan's role as director what how did this happen I looked at him in Surprise and he continued word on the street is that
Elliot is the president's daughter so it's normal for her to take over she clearly hit her identity well didn't she then he just laughed and walked off wait if Elliot was the president's daughter that meant that she was related to Ethan she was Ethan's sister right oh this
Couldn't be she' acted like she didn't even know him at the hospital that day I quickly ran to find her and said hey Elliot why didn't you tell me you were Ethan's sister you know that me and your brother are in love why would you hide
This from me Elliot just sighed and said well actually I didn't want to hide this from you you but my parents sent me to help Ethan to run the company I don't have any experience so I wanted everyone to treat me like a normal newbie so I
Could actually learn that's why I hid my identity I'm so sorry I guess she'd done the right thing as I'd heard lots of Gossip behind my back when I'd started dating Ethan so I sympathized with her but now it all made sense the reason I had a crush on Elliot she looked so
Similar to Ethan the same deep blue eyes the same cheekbones even the same gestures she also had the same shrimp allergy and they both had this pen spinning habit when they're deep in thoughts how had I not noticed this before what if I wasn't in love with
Elliot I was just in love with how she was so similar to Ethan okay that made me feel a lot better so it was Ethan I loved after all the next day I went to visit Ethan with a huge bouquet of sunflowers his favorite when I was walking through the entrance I spotted
Cooper hey we meet again I called out what are you doing here he told me how he was visiting his ex who'd been in an accident and I said I was visiting my boyfriend who'd been in an accident let's walk together I said what room's
Your ex in 152 Cooper said are you sure I mean that was Ethan's room I thought then it hit me hang on is your ex called Ethan I asked really hoping it wasn't how did you know that Cooper said because Ethan is my boyfriend I said
This was way too awkward how was it possible to have this many coincidences I couldn't believe it Cooper was shocked too and said that Ethan was the reason he and Elliot had broken up he'd fallen in love with Ethan and Ethan's family had been so upset by this they kicked
Ethan out of the house oh so that's why Ethan never talked to his family and told me to never ask about them after that mess unfortunately their relationship didn't work out so Cooper packed up his stuff and decided to go study abroad to start things fresh oh
Man this was a lot to digest I couldn't help but wonder how Elliot had felt when she'd found out her husband to be was in love with her brother Cooper and I were so shocked but not as shocked as we were going to be a moment later we were about
To walk into Ethan's room when we heard Elliot's voice she was speaking in a mean tone saying Ethan you just wait how will you feel when your boyfriend falls in love with me it'll be painful right I'll make him leave you and it'll serve you right after everything you've done
To me it's time for a taste of your own medicine I froze when I heard her saying that I turned to Cooper and he was just as shocked as I was suddenly he burst through the door and I stormed in after him Elliot almost fell off her chair in
Surprise at seeing us um why why are you two here together she said hey stranger Cooper said come on Elliot give it up already it's been a long time things were over between us just let go and move on Cooper was so angry but Elliot just laughed and said get over yourself
Cooper it's not about you I don't have feelings for you anymore I just want revenge on my brother it was so cruel of him to steal you away ruin my life like that then with eyes full of hatred she turned and looked at poor Ethan lying there I was Furious I realized exactly
What Elliot had been doing deliberately flirting with me to steal me away from Ethan how could she I confronted her on the spot what's wrong with you why would you treat me like this and your poor brother I didn't expect before I could continue though she interrupted me and
Said Charles wait listen to me please it's true that that was my intention at first but then I I fell in love in love with you and I thought you were starting to fall for me too I'm so sorry Elliot then tried to reach from my hand but I
Was disgusted I pushed her away and said get away from me I don't want to see you anymore Elliot started crying but I was too upset to be bothered I was just so horrified that she'd do this I was so disappointed in myself too for falling into her trap poor Ethan he didn't
Deserve any of this I stared at him lying there on the hospital bed what if he knew I kept staring at him and swear I saw his fingers twitch oh my gosh was he waking up Cooper quickly went to the doctor while I stayed with Ethan and
Tried to talk to him Ethan Ethan are you awake the doctors ran a few tests and said that Ethan had finally regained Consciousness and would wake up properly soon Cooper and I were over the moon I was so relieved he was going to be okay and it seemed like Elliot also felt the
Same as she stood quietly in a corner of the room tears streaming down her eyes to the corner of her mouth that turned up in the most subtle smile and as expected about a week later Ethan opened his eyes I'd never been so happy in my life he started physical therapy and I
Spent a lot of time helping him of course Cooper popped into visit too and we all had a good laugh about how connected we all were this must have been real fate cuz calling this coincidence would be an understatement as for Elliot she just disappeared but
Then a few days later when Ethan Cooper and I were chatting together in the hospital an email popped up on my phone it was Elliot and she said she was so sorry for what she'd done and she just hoped that Ethan and I could forgive her then she said she wished us only
Happiness I told Ethan and Cooper the good news and we were all so relieved maybe we could all be friends after all I mean Elliot might become my sister-in-law one day right life can be so funny I'm just so glad Cooper appeared when he did and everything came
Out into the open I'd never forgive myself if I'd left Ethan for his sister Ethan was always the one for me oh my sweet little Jake I'm glad you're back I missed you so much these were the first few words I heard from my mom after a seriously long sleep but why
Couldn't I move my body oh my God was I paralyzed a doctor appeared and told me everything oh Jesus I'd been in a coma for five months yeah you heard me right not 5 days not 5 weeks but five freaking months the good news was that I wasn't
Paralyzed I just needed some therapy to strengthen my muscles so you're probably wondering how I ended up in a coma me too so I asked my mom sweetie you had your headphones on and you were singing along to some tune you were so loud I could hear you outside while I was
Gardening so I waved at you to quiet down but you tripped over your sneakers fell out the window and knocked your head on the flower pot what what that was so dumb why couldn't it have been something cool like I took on a Mugger or tackled a shark or something huh
Anyway therapy became the norm for me but where were my dad my girlfriend Jenny and my best friend Ben none of them visited me not even once and they were all ignoring my calls and messages I asked Mom about it and she told me dad was on a business trip Ben had moved
Towns and I'd already broken up with Jenny before the coma huh we'd broken up that couldn't be I didn't remember us breaking up in fact the last thing I do remember was sending her a Cheesy meme of a cat and telling her she was perfect boy this sucked finally I was
Discharged from the hospital my first stop was Jenny's house I pounded on the door and eventually she stuck her head out and said J Jake you're awake yeah exactly I'm awake I asked her why' we'd split up and she shook her head and told me we hadn't the only reason she hadn't
Answered my calls was that she thought it was a joke then she told me to go home as she was busy at the moment and then she closed the door on me weird but at least we hadn't broken up maybe she was nervous oh and she wanted to do her
Hair and makeup to look pretty in my eyes well that must be it it made total sense now girls are weird sometimes so I had school tomorrow but I knew I needed to catch up on the happenings of the world first so I went online and did
Some research what passed me the tissues as I was about to cry my favorite TV show Supernatural was over for real this time oh my God after 15 years how could they oh wow there was more Trump wasn't the president anymore and what's with all this dancing on Tik Tok it all gave
Me a headache so I went to bed the next morning at school I walked into class and everyone rushed over to me and hugged me and high-fived me well except for Ben gez talk about a lousy friend but hang on wasn't he of meant to move towns so having my charm good looks
Sporting talents and the hottest girlfriend in the school made me a super popular guy no wonder everyone seemed so delighted to see me it was good to be back but then my teacher arrived glared at me and told me I was in the wrong class I'd been pushed back to junior
Year because I'd missed too much school what I couldn't graduate with my classmates bummer I sat down with these Juniors and oh God it looked like Dwayne The Rock Johnson was sitting in a Kindergarten class they all look like little kids in comparison to me I've never been so relieved for lunch break
In all my life I hurried to the canteen and saw Jenny so I hugged her from behind huh why did she have a balloon under her shirt I stared at her belly and shock yep my girl was pregnant she burst into tears and started apologizing the room started to spin and before I
Knew it I'd fainted I woke up in the hospital again I was seriously getting sick of at this place the doctor said I should take it easy and avoid stress at any cost oh well I just found out my girlfriend was pregnant after I woke up
From a freaking coma tell me how am I supposed to not be stressed now after that Mom took me home dad was there it was so good to see him I hugged him but he gave me this awkward look and told me he was only there to pick up some things
Huh where was he going now and that's when my parents told me the shocking news they were divorced what I mean I knew they argued sometimes but this was absurd something must have happened while I was in a coma and what's with my dad's attitude he barely looked at me
This was weird it felt like I'd woken up from my coma in a parallel universe or something little did I know that it was about to get a lot crazier the next day at school I saw Ben's car pull up in front of the entrance then he opened the passenger
Door and helped Jenny get out oh hell no now everything was clear I ran toward them and did a Mortal Kombat punch right in Ben's nose was damn it felt good but it did land us both in detention I had to sit in a room with that jerk for an
Entire hour I couldn't hold it in anymore and needed to confront him he just Shrugged and replied we thought you were never going to wake up again Jenny was devastated so I took care of her for you was he serious he took care of her by getting her pregnant huh great job
Buddy there was no way I was ever talking to him again and I was kicking him out of the basketball team oh yeah I forgot to mention that I'm the captain the next day I strolled into practice and showed yo your Captain's back and he will lead this team to Victory I
Expected cheers but nope they all stayed quiet and stared down at their feet then the coach came over and told me I was off the team for a whole six months doctor's orders and guess who the new captain was yeah no other than my amigo
Ben let me get this straight I was in a coma so my best pal Ben over here stole not only my girl but also my position as Captain wow some someone put me back in my coma please thanks cuz this life sucks no wonder my mom told me he'd
Moved away I wish he had I was so mad and I needed to talk to somebody so I went to my dad's house I was about to knock on the door when I heard voices between my dad and a woman coming from inside the house I sneaked over to the
Window and started to film them on my phone but wait a minute this wasn't some random chick it was Jenny we can't hide this from Jake forever nonsense you'll never find out unless you tell so keep up the ACT here's the money for this month now go oh my God I couldn't
Believe it okay let me put all the pieces together my dad had an affair with Jenny and the baby was his so my mom found out and divorced him then she lied to protect me but Dad didn't want the baby so Jenny tricked Ben into believing it was his now everything
Makes sense luckily I had the footage of his traitorous Antics so it was time to threaten him with it after all being a local politician the last thing he would want was for this to get out I set up a fake email and attached the video with
The message I know you're dirty secret and I'm going to make you pay he immediately replied that he would pay me $10,000 for the footage I told him to meet me in the park at midnight to discuss it I also sent the video to Jenny and told her that unless she
Wanted this to go viral she had to go to the park I got there early and spent a couple hours hiding in a bush while I waited for them they looked surprised when they saw each other but nothing prepared them for me hobbling out of the
Bush ouch leg cramp and saying well what do we have here my dearest father and my loving girlfriend having a baby together I took my phone out and continued how could you do this to me and Mom I thought it's only right the world get to see this and learn what you're really
Like my dad begged me to stop but I was so mad so mad that I was about to upload it from my phone when Jenny suddenly shouted will you just tell him the truth already oh god there was more my dad side and began to tell me everything
Brace yourselves it's more dramatic than a soap opera my parents didn't divorce because of Jenny they had issues for a while but only stayed together for me so without me around they split for good but Dad wasn't having a fair the baby wasn't his and it wasn't Ben's either
Nope it was mine but Dad knew his son becoming a dad at such a young age would look bad for his career so he was paying Jenny to fool Ben into thinking it was his baby oh my God these people were mad this was too much to deal with so I ran
Out of there I locked myself away in my room and tried to figure it all out the coma had been bad but the worst part of it all was that the people I cared about most in the world betrayed and lied to me the next day Jenny came to my house
And asked if we could get back together of course I agreed hauh just kidding my actual answer was hell no not in a million years I mean come on let's do the math shall we first she left me for money and second she had an affair with
My best friend we were over for good but I will continue to support her and always be there for our kid Ben tried talking to me a few times but I don't want to hear anything he has to say there's no way I'm ever being friends with that lying jerk ever again I'm
Still annoyed that mom lied to me but I guess I don't blame her she did it with the best intentions and she just wanted to protect me besides when the going got tough she was the only one who stayed by my side as for Dad it's going to take a
Long time for me to fully forgive him but I'm trying I mean he did some pretty a awful things but at the end of the day he's still my dad so that's pretty much it crazy right akoma took everything from me but also revealed the true faces
Of the people around me now I've decided to follow two rules in my life one be extra careful of who I put my trust in and two Never sing near an open window ever again hey guys I want to tell you about my most memorable summer it involves a
Parent free house the girl of my dreams and my little bro silas's massive secret actually silus doesn't want me telling you about it but this story is too fun to keep it for ourselves so stay tuned let me tell you what happened imagine the scene I'm there eating corn dogs
When my parents announc they're going away on vacation for their 20th wedding anniversary that means I'll be home alone all week long in our big Farmhouse surrounded by vast Fields sounds great right but wait it got even better when my childhood friends who had now lived
In another city were also back in town for the summer vacation of course my parents let me invite them over to stay while they're away that's how close our families were oh God I haven't seen Carl in over a year and his sister Ellie too yep I wouldn't say that I had the
Biggest crush on my best friend's sister but there's that anyway this this was going to be my summer paradise but you know man proposes God disposes it turns out my parents weren't taking silus with them because they thought I was old enough to look after my little brother G
What a bummer how was I meant to impress Ellie when I had a whining kid to care for I needed to think fast so as soon as we waved our parents off I passed my PS4 to him and said silus you can play on it
But only if you promise to do as I ask and stay out of my way of course he agreed I mean what 8-year-old boy wouldn't want to play fortnite I checked on him now and then and gave him juice and snacks other than that I had plenty
Of time to spend hanging out with Carl and Ellie things were going well for the first few days and nothing beats being around your best bud and your crush all day long who just I just couldn't take my eyes off Ellie she seemed to have gotten even more beautiful then on one
Evening we were sitting outside stargazing it was so romantic especially when Carl thought it was dull and left us to go go to bed first I was about to do the whole yawn and stretch out my arm to wrap around her shoulders trick when silus appeared and squeezed in between
Us I glared at him and through gritted teeth asked him what he wanted he just Shrugged and said Edward I'm Bor of that game now I want ice cream Ellie laughed then led him off to get some what how dare that little dweeb ruin my smooth
Moves what a buzz kill I needed to come up with a new trick to handle this annoying kid so the next morning I told Silas that if he wanted to download a new game of his choice he needed to go into the field and find a corn cob with
Exactly 2 200 seeds on it he looked like he was going to cry but he went off to the field oh how smart I am sending my little brother on a wild goose chase I expected him to give up after a few hours but nope he was out there
Searching for it all day he even managed to drag Carl along to help him in the end he still had to leave empty-handed anyway I have to thank my stupid brother for helping me to have such a good afternoon with Ellie that night we all sat together in the living room and told
Creepy ghost stories I hoped Ellie would freak out so much she nestled into my lap for protection so I told him about the empty house up the road which was also our family's property my grandparents used to live there but now it had been abandoned for over 40 years
There were plenty of rumors about it being haunted one farmer said he saw a ghostly woman by the window but she vanished Into Thin Air and someone else said they saw a spooky figure float out of the house and chase after them Ellie chuckled then said ooh
Spooky we should go and check it out what this wasn't what I had in mind in fact she didn't seem afraid at all I didn't want to go in there it was old and creepy and just thinking about it freaked me out luckily for me silus strongly discouraged Us by saying that
He had heard someone crying in that house and our parents didn't allow us to go there and then from nowhere I felt the chilly wind blow over me with a whistle which made my hair stand on end and boom the Lights Went Out leaving the whole room in darkness everyone was
Confused what on Earth was going on I didn't want to die now not when I haven't even told my crush my feelings yet I was lost in terrifying thoughts when the lights came back on and everyone else immediately bursted out laughing OMG I found myself sitting on
Ellie's lap with my head between my hands it turns out that my evil little brother was the one who turned the lights on off as a prank how humiliating oh well at least Ellie changed her mind about wanting to check the house out but then over the next few days weird things
Started happening I went to grab a snack for my secret loot under my bed but what's this all of the Snickers bars had gone it couldn't have been silus as he hated Snickers bars right then we were watching a movie Ellie started shivering so being the awesome guy I am I went to
Get a blanket for her but huh all of the blankets had gone when I went back and told Carl and Ellie about it Ellie said that was odd as the other day she couldn't find her pajamas and Carl's pack of Gatorade had vanished too so is
There a real ghost in my house as for my bro he was acting like he was haunted he barely talked anymore and for 3 days in a row at 600 p.m. on the dot he disappeared out of the house for hours this was so strange I mean that's the
Time slot for his favorite show and he seriously wouldn't miss Adventure Time without a good reason for me it's great that silus isn't at home but since I'm the older brother I still have to keep an eye on him as Mom and Dad wouldn't have been best impress if I'd lost him
Or something that night he mysteriously disappeared again I was quite curious so I went to look for silus but couldn't find him anywhere panicked I raced around the garden calling out his name finally I felt a hand pounding on my shoulder my heart was in my mouth I
Turned around to see Silas standing there sweating I shouted at him you can't just run off without saying a word where have you been but Silas calmly replied so what it's my business not yours then he ran straight inside he got to be kidding me okay then if secrecy
Was the game he wanted to play then I wouldn't mind being the detective either I had to figure this out so I gathered Ellie and Carl and came up with a genius plan the next day at lunch as planned silus entered the kitchen and everything was set I placed an eye-catching candy
Filled jar on the table and as expected silus immediately picked up a handful and put them right in his mouth oh just look at his happy face he had no idea what I had in store for him right after that we entered the room not wanting to
Get caught eating food on the sly Silas quickly hid under the table and of course we pretended not to know he was there then I held up that candy jar and said guys guess what I've ordered these pills online it's the legendary invisible candy that makes it impossible
For people to see me Carl acted surprised unbelievable how did you get this I heard it's such a hit that it was sold out everywhere then Ellie asked me how long we could disappear if we ate these candies I replied I think if we just eat four to five candies we can
Disappear for 45 minutes we continued our skit then I said I had to leave the candy jar here so tomorrow we can try it and go out pranking everyone with our new superpower I winked and everyone nodded now where did silus go again I asked and everyone shook their head
Heads then I picked up an apple and purposely dropped it on the floor that immediately peered underneath the table to look for it while pretending not to see Silas down there he looked absolutely amazed trying not to make any sound now Silas thought he was truly invisible he crawled out then did all
Sorts of funny things in front of us from dancing shaking his butt and cartwheeling across the room it was so hard to keep a straight face and ignore his existence then at 600 p.m. silus left the house with a backpack on but because he thought he was invisible he
Ran straight past us without hesitation and didn't forget to stick his tongue out at me before leaving H this idiot we followed him and guess what he went to the abandoned house we hid behind a tree to watch and suddenly the door creaked open I was a little creeped out so I
Clung to Ellie's arm someone ran over to him a little girl oh no was it a a ghost Ellie said OMG she's in my clothes I looked closer and realized she wasn't a ghost but in fact was a real life girl so silus hid that little girl in our
Abandoned house and that's why he kept telling us over and over again not to come here since Silas thought that he was invisible he kept running around her saying you can't see me right he looked so funny as the little girl was too bewildered to understand anything and
Right then we barged in shouting gotcha well well well look who's the big guy hiding his his girlfriend here I pulled out silas's backpack which was filled with Snickers bars and other missing items silus was shocked and sputtered I it's it's not what you think the little
Girl burst into tears and said I'm Sally I got lost so silus help me silus said that he had Met Sally one day on the cornfield she was alone and hungry so he brought her here and took care of her he didn't dare tell us because he was
Afraid that we would make fun of him oh I didn't think that my usual foolish brother was able to do such a good thing so I hugged them and said I don't blame anyone silus you did a very good job and Sally you will be safe here take her to
Our house and I will call someone for help fortunately the police said that they were also looking for a missing child and the next day Sally was reunited with her parents it turned out she was at a crowded train station when she ended up lost confused she followed
A man with the same shirt as her father and that's how she ended up lost in our Fields yeah my brother is a bit annoying at times but he's a good kid with a kind heart since then we've grown closer and I used my savings to reward my brother
With a console of his very own as for me and Ellie well let's just say our relationship is still in the friend zone for now but Carl might have noticed something and he didn't seem to oppose it so just give me time and wish me luck
Hey I'm Henry and I'm a 23-year-old from Hamburg and I have one question you must have heard of K-pop right so any K-Pop fans in the house of course I'm one to be specific I am an army A true BTS Stan oh and for those who don't know Stan is
Slang for when you're a big fan of something anyway I can proudly say I'm obsessed with K-pop and it's such a fun Journey right but not everyone gets it in fact this is my story about how people treated me for being a fanboy and it gets pretty dramatic so people always
Think that we like K-pop just because the Idols are good-looking but no that's not only it seriously I bet those who hate K-pop haven't even given it a proper listen so you K-pop haters just hear me out and I'll start by tracing all the way back to the beginning of
That life-changing moment when I first discovered K-pop it all started when my classmate Chrissy was watching this music video called dope during recess I got curious and joined her and oh boy I never seen something so incredible before the camera work the choreography it was Unreal I couldn't get the song
Out of my head and the video was so much fun to watch they didn't need hot girls nor supercars to make it eye-catching it's pure talent only after that I started to listen to more K-pop and became a multi-stand but BTS is always my one true love I love them and I
Wouldn't mind sharing all about it on my Instagram which also helps me make friends with a lot of other Army from all around the world mostly girls but a lot of guys too and they often message me saying how much they admire me for being so open about my love for K-pop
They say they wish they had the same courage I did since a lot of them got made fun of for liking Korean male artists how ridiculous is that it's 2021 we can like who we like and we shouldn't have to keep quiet about our passions however I totally understood how they
Felt I've been there and it was rough one time in high school I've been so excited to show Chrissy my new BTS album we were screaming and squealing as I carefully flipped through each page as if it was my most prized possession when some jock walked by with his crew and
Snatched it out of my hand then he said what is this tween magazine didn't they all have plastic surgery right then another guy said why do you like these guys are you gay or something then they all walked off laughing I was so angry I
Wanted to kick them so far off the Earth even Google wouldn't be able to find him but I couldn't do anything they were way bigger than me and and would crush me into a pulp if I even tried so I came up with a better idea I started going to
The gym I wanted to be buffed like June C then I wouldn't be afraid of any losers picking on me and my boys anymore oh and by the way I'm not gay that's just another thing us Fanboys have to deal with there's nothing wrong with being gay but just assuming I am because
I like K-pop is silly K-pop is for anyone and everyone anyway after high school things were looking up as people in college were less nosy we'd all grown up and you won't believe how muscular I'd become girls started showing interest in me but there was only one
Girl I had eyes for her name was Kayla and she was so cute however there was just one tiny problem and by tiny I mean huge she didn't like K-pop once when we were studying she sat closer to me and asked with a smile what are you
Listening to then she took one side of my earphones what is this some kind of chanting then she just went back to reading with a disgusting the look on her face what that was my bias rap monster was Spitting Fire I didn't know she was that tasteless but I let it
Slide this time since I didn't want to make a big deal out of it in the library after that things got worse and her hatred for K-pop became more obvious every time I talked about it she rolled her eyes and changed the subject and when the new music videos came out and I
Couldn't wait to show her she'd just scroll on her phone and ignore it other than that she was always so sweet and so we kept on dating but we shouldn't have one time we were hanging out at the mall and it was a pretty special day for me
As it was bts's debut anniversary I was so excited and had even worn my BTS cross body bag with a Coya keychain to complete the look I thought I looked cool but Cayla burst out laughing when she saw me and said OMG did you borrow your sister's bag or something I tried
To explain to her and said no it's mine and this is my baby Koya but she just cut me off and rolled her eyes as she said we'd be late for the movies she kind of Killed My Vibe but it was BTS day so I wouldn't let anything ruin it
We were lining up to buy popcorn when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder excuse me I couldn't help noticing your Coya are you perhaps an army I finished his sentence with a scream we were both excited we basically talked in gibberish that probably only Army could understand
Turns out J Hope Was His bias and his name was Craig then he even gifted me some photo cards he just printed out out I was so immersed in the conversation with him I forgot Kayla was even there until Craig said to her oh hey who's
Your bias I might have some cards for you too Kayla looked offended and said you guys are sick what a pair of losers I've had enough of this Kpop stuff then she stormed off we were left stunned but oh well if she couldn't respect my hobby
And love me for who I am then fine good riddens Kayla after that Craig and I went to a cafe to talk everything BTS and until this day we're still good friends and I'm grateful he saved me from dating that awful girl any longer after that relationship I gave my love
Life a bit of a break as I was busy with streaming music videos voting for BTS on award shows and catching up with all of their content on top of studying I was perfectly happy living my little Fanboy life without any girl but then one day
Everything changed I was on the bus to class because I wasn't feeling well enough to drive after a white night watching bts's live stream I must have dozed off because the next moment I woke up and I was leaning on some girl's shoulder I quickly apologized to her and
She just giggled then I took a proper look and oh my gosh I've never met such a beautiful girl in my life she was like a mixture of all four members of blackpink luckily I was smart enough to ask her for her number and offered to
Buy her a drink to make up for almost drooling on her shoulder after class we met at a Starbucks and immediately hit it off her name was was Clara and she was so smart and pretty I got her make her mind so I decided to change my
Tactic a little I would wait a bit before telling her I was a fanboy and instead I focused on finding out more about her first and making it clear I really liked her then when the right time came I'd share with her my passion for K-pop pretty soon we got quite
Serious and did everything together and I finally felt the moment had come I was driving her home and decided to put my K-pop playlist on to my surprise she looked interested and asked what it was I told her how much I loved it and then nervously asked her are you really okay
With it because usually when I tell people they make fun of me she just smiled and said okay now it's my turn then she put on some death metal which almost made my hair stand on end she laughed and said I know how you feel death metal isn't everyone's cup of tea
Either but hey we're allowed to like whatever we want right I respect that you love K-pop oh my gosh could Clara be any more perfect I can't wait to show her my room too but unexpectedly on the night I invited her over her face changed as she saw all my posters in
Merch I showed her my collections my dolls my pictures but she just smiled and stared at me then she took my hand and said Henry this is really cool but don't you think it's a bit much I know you love them but you should maybe start spending your money on stuff for your
Future too then she told me she wanted to go home can't deny that I was hurt but I knew that she's the one for me and she just needed a little time to really understand that this was more than just a hobby for me so I was determined to
Get her to like K-pop I started sending her songs and recommending her some Korean shows to watch Once I even pretended I was taking her out for a picnic but I took her to an army Fest Clara went along with it all but she didn't seem too interested then came the
Best news ever I found out BTS was going to have a concert in London I was desperate to go and told claraa about flying there for the concert but she said Henry isn't that the same day as our marketing contest there will be Head Hunters there and everything you can't
Miss it this is your chance to secure a good job I didn't care and replied with a joke but I've been waiting to see them my whole life this is a dream come true who needs a job when you have BTS I'm going to London baby but claraa didn't
Laugh in fact she got super angry and started shouting at me saying that I was so immature and that if I didn't grow up soon she couldn't be with me anymore she was even crying saying she needed a responsible man who was thinking about his future as she stormed off after that
She gave me the silent treatment I was stuck in a dilemma it was my biggest dream to see BTS live but why did this feel so wrong I decided to wait a few days to think it all through and eventually I realized there would be other concerts right I really couldn't
Skip the contest I mean how else would I support BTS without money I did need a job so even though it broke my Fanboy heart I I told Clara I'd skip the concert this time and go to the contest Clara immediately grinned and said really I'm so proud of you Henry then
She gave me a big kiss and I reminded myself this was all worth it and at least I still had my girlfriend but suddenly Clara started speaking again Henry there's something I need to tell you um actually Professor Geller has told me that the contest has been put
Off temporarily so this was just a test then she said she just wanted to see if I could figure out my priorities she loved how passionate I was about K-pop but everything needed balance and she wanted to make sure I would take other parts of my life as seriously as I took
K-pop then she handed me her phone and said look I couldn't believe it it was two tickets to the BTS show she'd bought them for me I was so happy I burst into tears and couldn't stop hugging her I thought that was the happiest moment of my life but the BTS concert was
Especially as claraa was by myself side we're currently still together and guess what she even biases Jin now she's seriously the perfect girl for me and I can't wait to spend my life with her if in 2031 you ever see a family of four screaming their heads off at a BTS
Concert chances are it's me and Clara and our future kids don't be shy come say hi here I was confronting my greatest fear math Wendy Focus what is 9 + 11 a 19 or B 21 the numbers worlded around me panic
Set in uh um 9 + 11 1 2 3 4 5 equal 19 no 21 great numerical Gods why is this so confusing you're so extra sit up I'll show you again I still don't get why I have to do this though it's not like I'm
Going to school yeah I quit school not long ago to help Mom out making a couple of bucks in case you haven't noticed we're dirt poor I'm Wendy by the way 15 and fabulous well sort of I know I'm a big silly goofball but the good thing is
My brother Leo does not share the same brain cell with me that guy ate knowledge for breakfast he went to this Elite High School on scholarship of course and always the top student 3 years in a row that's like genius mom also said he's our only ticket out of poverty
That's why she held three jobs at once while I gathered scrap metal to sell to the scrap yard to support his study the three of us have been working hard to create a better life for our family but then one afternoon I suddenly noticed posters of Leo that accused him of
Breaking his classmate's arm what nonsense is this I tore them all down and rushed home to see a bunch of gangsters breaking our things my mom and Leo were in the corner begging them to stop stop what on Earth are you doing what does it look like I'm doing Brad
I'm collecting compens ation for your brother's victim he messed with the wrong person the son of a loaded family you got the wrong guy Leo wouldn't hurt a fly right Leo I turned to him but he just lowered his head in guilt and defeat how much then $3,000 3
3,000 you kidding right do I look like I'm kidding let her go just stop it all of you then Mom rushed to the kitchen and brought back all of our saving jars they're about $1,000 just take them and leave us alone I'll pay the rest later
The thug let me go and grab the jars we'll be back next month for the rest mom fell to her knees she looked so hopeless amongst the mish mash Mom Wendy I'm so sorry please let me help the school already suspended me for a whole
Month I'll I'll get a job I'll pay for the debt no my boy use this free time to study once you come back to school I want you to be the perfect student so no one can ever look down on us again okay but what about the dead just leave it to
Me I'll work some extra shifts here and there and everything will be sorted now go study thank you Mom I won't let you down again then he left the room that's when Mom's smile wears off I knew she only said that so Leo could have his
Peace of mind the truth was no amount of mom's extra shifts could get us 2,000 by next month I think if the math was right it's time for me to save the day I tried to get a job but somehow they all lasted for only one shift like when I was
Waiting for this Diner all the food and drink just fell out of my tray or that time when I worked at construction site and I got my foot stuck on the thing I just built I came home feeling deflated just then there was a knock at the door
It was Nathan Leo's best friend I could instantly feel my cheeks heating up hello her to Wendy are you going to let me in or are we going to stand here awkwardly uh oh uh sure come on in you look uh exhausted you sure you're all
Right it's just the whole thing with Leo I've been trying to get a job to pay for the debt but nothing worked I'm I'm sorry all that happened to your family and I want to help you but there's something you should know first after
The talk Nathan got me a job as a maid for his cousin Zach's house other Maids were showing me around when get out a maid ran past us crying her eyes out what was that that is the young Master Zach throwing a tantrum he's the illegitimate son of the light master and
Was only brought here 5 Years Ago by his grandfather and let's just say Madame Linda his stepmom is not so frilled about it they've been on each other's necks ever since the girl you just saw was Madame Linda's favorite she's been a thorn in master Zach's side for a while
Now then I got to find a way to get on both their good sides to prove that I'm perfect for this job okay first day at work Madame Linda was complaining about Zach's toy car collection so I threw them all away but Zach went Bonkers on me and went rumaging through the
Junkyard to find every single one of them sorry Master Zach it's just Madame Linda oh he immediately stormed off to confront Madame Linda I felt bad so to make aend between them I cooked his favorite soup and told him that Madame Linda made it for him as an apology but
As he took the first bite his face turned green and dashed to the nearest toilet whoops one rainy day I was taking the trash out and saw a strange woman peeking from the fence she suddenly tripped so I helped her up asking if she was looking for someone but she just ran
Away wa Jesus how long have you been standing there long enough come inside it's freezing out here uh sure later that day I was cleaning Madame Linda's room when accidentally knocked over her jewelry box box it crashed on the floor spilling jewelry everywhere one of the Bangles snapped in half I frantically
Pocketed it to fix it later when the gruff Butler swung the door open I apologized and promised to fix the jewelry box but he still insisted on firing me just then Zach stepped in and ordered him to let it slide Zach then stayed and watched me fix it where'd you
Learn to do that it's nothing I grew up in a trailer park everything we own came from the junkyard they just need a little fixer upper I've been doing it since forever so you got a gift besides reusing things is cool whatever you say pretty guy say you want to hang out
Sometime like a date maybe won't your girlfriend get jealous what girlfriend I'm very single and ready to mingle right now sure why not on the weekend Zach took me to his favorite coffee shop and I got to see a softer more caring side of him turned out he never got a
Girlfriend so I made him a flirting tutorial for a price of course at first I thought he was just practicing on me by giving me flowers and fancy chocolates but then he continued to woo me with my own list he set up a romantic picnic under the stars in the backyard
Took me to the park and we watched the enchanting sunset together that night we walked back to the mansion before coming inside Zach stopped me these past weeks that I've known you have been the best moments of my life Wendy I think I've fallen for you will you be my girlfriend
Where did you learn those cheesy words do you like them is it hot in here or is it just you stop I just need you to promise to to be on my side no matter what I promise when Zach left I returned to my room I pulled
Out my diary and then ticked off the last box on my list well it was fun Zach but everything must come to an end soon you'll pay for everything you did to my family I knew the truth back when Nathan came to our house there's something you should know first your brother was
Tricked he didn't start the fight a guy mocked your poor family so Leo turned aggressive after the incident the guy was salty Leo beated him so he faked a broken arm and had his family come for yours they don't need your money they just want you to suffer and who's that
Guy he's Zach my cousin what he did was wrong so I'm on your side on this and there's another thing Nathan played a video of Linda and her thugs threatening my mom and demanding more money my rage became scorching that moment I decided to get revenge that's why I became a
Maid at Zach's house sabotaged his relationship with Linda and made him fall for me everything was going just as planned so far but the next thing I knew mom called me to tell me that Leo had been expelled from school and ran away from home my blood was boiling that's it
Today the day Zach goes down I pulled out Linda's broken bangle and placed it on my bedside table during the daily room check the butler spotted it right away and informed Linda she rushed over to reprimand me for stealing her jewelry just then Zach swooped in to defend me
Zach you have to trust me I didn't steal it I just wanted to fix it before turning it to Madame Linda don't worry I believe you you Hur her I know you despise me but don't you dare drag my loved one into this oh finally put it
Out in the open huh you and your lowlife girlfriend birds of a feather you're right we're alike and that means we're nothing like you you evil witch H let's see how you like it alone on the streets guards throw them out now next second Zach and I were dumped on the sidewalk
Along with our belongings watching him grappling his stuff I couldn't help but chuckle how does it feel to be discarded like an unwanted object enlightening isn't it what are you saying you remember Leo the person who broke your arm who you used to extort money from my
Family I'm his sister I think you got it wrong Leo didn't break my arm he only shoved me to the ground and said something like don't talk nonsense about his family I didn't care but Linda kept telling me to skip school the next day
She must have used me to make a fuss you mock my family for being dirt poor that's why Leo was so mad at you that's not true I used to be poor too you remember the woman lurking around the mansion that's my real mom she just
Wanted to make sure I was okay turned out Zach and his mom were abandoned by his dad because of their humble background then his grandpa found him though Zach didn't want to his mom made him come with his grandpa so he'd have a better life but what his mom didn't know
Was that heck of a mansion was the coldest most isolated place that is until you came and it hit me Zach is telling the truth that meant I had take a revenge on the wrong person shoot I am so sorry I had no idea and now you're
Kicked out Leo's gone and there's a huge Deb I don't know what to do hey hey it's all right one thing at a time K I'm not mad at you or anything I just wish you You' told me but it's fine I don't really like that house anyway what about
Your brother he got expelled and left I'm sure he's okay I'll help you find him yeah thank you and I'm sorry I don't know how to make it up to you you don't have to I got a feeling you didn't come up with this Twisted plan I didn't it's
Actually your cousin Nathan I took Zach back to my place where he'd crash in the meantime mom was in tears she told me that Leo was accused of plagiarizing an essay so he could no longer go to that school but Leo's too smart to do such a
Thing so Zach proposed we investigate at the school to find who essay Leo supposedly copied we broke into the school's computer lab that night we were snooping around when suddenly Zach was grabbed from behind and dragged away I slowly turned around and was shocked to the core I sprinted to Nathan's house
Banging on the door Nathan Zach Zach was kidnapped he's the heir to Adam's estate they took him away for the ransom The Heir what do you mean your grandfather's lawyer came to see Zach and I overheard him your grandfather's sick so he authorized a lawyer to hand the will to
His soul air there Zach the will do you know where it is if we swap it for a fake one with someone else's name on it they'll release Zach and Target that person instead great idea I think Zach left it in his bedroom maybe it's still there Nathan and I hurried over to
Zach's house Nathan snuck into his bedroom while I was on the look out at the door Nathan switched the wheel for a fake one and took out a lighter and set it on fire just then I turned on the light scaring him to death what on Earth
Wendy kill the lights or we'll be caught you mean you'll be caught then I open the door revealing everyone in his family and my brother Leo what's going on enjoying the taste of your own medicine cousin yeah you just got busted remember when we were at the lab I was
Shocked to the core to see my brother muffling Zach shh be quiet or we get caught Leo I thought you left Mom was worried sick I know I'm sorry but I need to sort this out things have been sketchy ever since that incident with this guy and now with this I got to
Prove my innocence so I came here and found this look turns out Leo's essay was ident identical to yours Nathan you took advantage of me to get revenge on Zach when he wasn't to blame you told Leo Zach was badmouthing our family to stir things up between them you made our
Lives miserable I trusted you I can't believe you'd go this far you're always obsessed with Grandpa's inheritance everything's a competition for you to prove that you deserve to be a successor all that work but still nothing do you know how many sleepless nights I had to
Study or to hatch a plan worrying mom and dad would blame me for not trying for not being better and you just showed up and everyone sees you as his Golden Child and all my efforts have gone to waste why Grandpa why not me you were
Left out of the will due to your greed and scheming Behavior now I know it's your parents' fault and there will be severe consequences for them and you Nathan you will join the Army after graduation to serve the country get disciplined and come back a better man
Guards take them away as Nathan made his accent he paused at the sight of Leo and I I'm truly sorry for everything then he walked out the door in the end grandpa chose to give Zach his share of the fortune Zach however refused he never wanted the money all he wanted was to
Live comfortably with his mom so that night he packed up his things and was ready to go back home his true home seeing Zach I realized bearing hatred towards someone cannot solve your problem it just puts you through so much pain and even hurt other innocent people
Along the way it best just to focus on yourself you do you and things will work out on their own like now that all Mysteries are debunked our family is free of debt and Leo can go back to school full scholar also to compensate for what we've been through Zach's
Grandpa decided to start a charity fund and my family was the first to benefit from it they even helped my mom secure a steady job as for me I found a knack for making things and found my place as an apprentice at a Pottery Studio my co-workers have become my extended
Family they always make fun of me whenever he picks me up hop on we're going to a very special place today we too it's a surprise hold tight when I was just a little girl someone ruined my life and to this day I've never forgotten it never in a
Million years did I think I'd bump into them as an adult and have the opportunity to get revenge but that's exactly what I did before I dive into my story allow me to introduce myself a bit I'm Ellie and I'm 25 years old I live in
San Fran and even though I've had a pretty tough life I'm pretty happy now and I have the greatest job I'm a project manager at a cool startup in Silicone Valley I work hard not just because I enjoy my job but because I like being an independent kind of girl a
Lot of my friends ask me why I don't just find a rich guy to take care of me and that just drives me crazy I mean I chose to be single because I really don't trust guys you see my dad is a nasty piece of work and so he left a
Pretty bad taste in my mouth when it came to how I felt about men when I was just 5 years old he abandoned me and my mom in LA to go will live with his mistress even talking about it now I feel angry we were devastated and begged
Him to stay but he left us after that things were horrible for me and my mom my dad was the bread winner and was the CEO of a company so we'd never had to worry about a thing but after he left my mom struggled to find a job and
Sometimes we even went to bed hungry I remember people felt sorry for us and one of our neighbors started leaving food Parcels on our doorstep it was very sweet of them but humiliating too I hated my dad for leaving us in that mess and I hated his mistress even more for
Stealing him away I vowed to never date anyone because I never wanted to end up in my mom's position all I knew was that men hurt women and that wasn't going to be my story so anytime guys asked me out I turned them down that was until something crazy happened that changed my
Mind on this whole guy thing I was feeling really ill one day and because I lived alone I had to to go out to the grocery store to get some food when I got back I felt like I was about to pass out before I even made it inside the
Door I fainted on my porch luckily for me one of my neighbors saw me fainting and rushed over to help me I'd only ever seen him a few times in passing but when I opened my eyes he was standing over me I felt so grateful he told me his name
Was Brian and I couldn't believe how kind he was being he looked after me until I'd fully recovered he made me soup and even sat by my bed bed and wiped my face with a cold cloth to help get rid of my fever the more time he
Spent by my side the more I started to think maybe I'd been wrong maybe not all men were bad news like my dad maybe Brian was one of the good ones I'm not proud of this but I might have pretended to still be sick just so he would keep
Coming to see me even after a week he laughed and said to me Ellie your fever is totally gone are you just using me now I could feel my face go bright red and jokingly said look at me I definitely still got a fever I really didn't want Brian to stop visiting other
Than my mom no one had ever been so loving towards me there was no hiding fact that I had feelings for him we started hanging out more some days I worked super late and whenever I came home he'd invite me over for dinner and one night he had set up candles and
Romantic music and guys that's when we kissed for the first time it felt so good good and I knew there was no point fooling myself I loved him and he loved me too for the next few months we were inseparable we spent every possible moment together and after 6 months of
Dating he asked me to meet him for lunch one day down by the Waterfront when I arrived I couldn't believe it he'd arranged for us to go out on a boat for a picnic then when we were out in the water looking back at the city he turned
To me and said Ellie I've never met anyone like you before I want to spend the rest of my life looking after you my Ellie bear will you marry me oh my God I'm not joking I started crying so much I thought we were going to capsize this
Was the most romantic proposal ever of course I said yes I couldn't wait to spend my life with Brian and I was already so excited to start planning our wedding I'd always dreamt of getting married in a Vineyard near Sacramento so now all we had to do was choose a venue
And of course tell our parents Brian had met my mom and they got on so well but I still hadn't met his parents they were divorced and Brian only really saw his dad his mom was always working he said and so they didn't hang out much I told
Him it was important to me that I met them both so he arranged it I was pretty nervous but Brian's dad was so lovely just like him I could see where he got his kindness from then it was time to meet his mom we went to a restaurant
That that she chose and when we walked in I thought I was going to collapse this couldn't be happening I thought Brian's mom was none other than Sasha my dad's mistress from all those years ago I felt sick and Brian could sense something was wrong I tried to act as
Normal as possible but inside I wanted to scream Brian introduced us and told me his mom was the CEO of my company's rival company could this get any worse I had to smile and pretend to be happy to meet her honestly I felt like I was going to puke and was counting the
Minutes until I could run out of there finally his mom said she had to get back to work and I felt like I could breathe again but I had questions on the way home I asked Brian about his mom's life and he said she divorced his dad 20
Years ago when he was just 7 years old she'd moved in with another guy which I knew was my dad but they'd broken up a long time ago he said and she had been constantly changing boyfriends till now now I turned to Brian and I said are you
Okay with that if she was my mom I wouldn't want her to be playing around like that but Brian just said I don't care all that matters is that she's a good mom as for her private life she can do whatever she likes right I couldn't
Believe it how could Brian be such a good son his mom had abandoned him and he was just fine with it I would never forgive my dad and his mistress for destroying me and my mom's life and now I decided it was time for Revenge she'd
Made my childhood a living hell and now it was her turn to know what it felt like with planning the wedding we started to see his mom Sasha more often and I used these opportunities to try and get closer to her then one day I started complaining about my job even
Though I loved it and Sasha said why don't you come work for me there's a vacancy going and you'd be perfect for it I mean you have so much experience this was exactly what I wanted now I could could ruin her company and then watch her life crumble everyone was
Surprised I was quitting my job to work for our rival company but I didn't even have time to care about what they thought on the first day at my new job Sasha introduced me to everyone in the software design department and that's when I met Clark the head of the
Department he was a little older than me around 30 and he was well known in Silicone Valley for being super smart the department was about to launch a new app that would blow people's minds and everyone was super excited about it throughout my first day there I couldn't
Help but notice how much attention Sasha was paying to Clark it was kind of sickening to watch she constantly flirted with him and all I could think was how he was way too young for her at lunch she acted like a school girl saying clarky I saved deceit for you I
Couldn't understand why Clark would like her she continued to flirt with him over the next few weeks she always brought him a coffee and she didn't do that for anyone else then in meetings she always chose his ideas it was was pretty frustrating and I even thought about
Telling Brian that it looked like his mom had found a new boy toy but then one day I was working late and when I walked past the meeting room to go to the restroom I heard Sasha and Clark chatting and I couldn't stop myself from Eaves dropping Sasha was giggling and
Said oh come on Clark I'll even give you a pay rise again it's just one date then Clark said sorry I really can't I'm too busy and to be honest I didn't have that kind of feeling for you I'm so sorry ha it made me so pleased to hear Clark
Rejecting her she didn't deserve a nice guy like Clark as I walked back to my desk I glanced into the meeting room and I saw how upset she looked wow she looked really hurt she must have liked Clark a lot and so that's when my plan
Started to unfold I would do to her what she'd done to my mom I would steal the guy she loved right from under her nose hey guys Ellie here again I'm going to share with you the final part of my story and trust me you won't want to
Miss it in part two of my story my revenge plan really got underway Brian went to New York to work for 3 months and I managed to seduce Clark now we're dating and I almost have all the info I need to make Sasha's company crash but
After an amazing day out with Clark I came home and you will not believe what was waiting for me Brian was there he was sitting in my living room and he looked so angry he'd flown home that afternoon and couldn't wait to spend that weekend with me but when he arrived
At my house to surprise me I wasn't there he was about to call me to ask where I was when he received a photo from his friend it was of me and Clark turns out his friend had seen us sharing a picnic by the Golden Gate Bridge and
Had sneakily taken a photo of us kissing each other and sent it to Brian and he was mad he started shouting at me saying how could you cheat on me like this he looked heartbroken and all I could do was cry I couldn't even explain myself
Because the truth was much worse if he knew it was just to hurt his mom he'd never forgive me in the end he stormed out leaving me there crying but I had to be strong I had to focus on my revenge I didn't have time to sit and cry over
Brian for now I'd have to put him to the side and try not to think about him when one day rolled around I was exhausted I'd barely slept the whole weekend and couldn't bear going to work but I had no choice the day dragged by and by the
Time 5:00 p.m. rolled around I waited until everyone left and then I went to Clark's office I gave him a hug and he started massaging my neck and said baby you look so tired what's up I replied saying no I'm good in fact fact I'm much
Better now that I've seen you although I would say no to a cup of coffee of course Clark happily went and made me one and as soon as he was out of the room I ran to his desk and started rumaging around looking for the documents but I couldn't find them
Anywhere had he put them in a drawer I quickly checked but while I was doing that Clark walked back into the room Ellie what are you doing I got the Fright of my life and stood up saying um nothing just helping you tidy up your
Desk it's such a mess at that moment my phone suddenly beeped I went to grab it but Clark got to it first oh no suddenly his face changed as he read my text then he said what's going on Ellie you better explain yourself quick he handed me my
Phone back and I couldn't believe it it was my old colleague Amy asking if I'd got the last document yet to show how the app was put together I felt so sick and I knew I couldn't lie anymore I looked back up at Clark and in tears I told him everything
Clark I know you're probably going to hate me after I tell you this and I don't blame you but please just hear me out Sasha is a nasty woman she was actually my dad's mistress when I was a kid and she tore apart my family I'm so
Sorry Clark but I'm actually engaged to Brian Sasha's son I only took this job because I wanted to find a chance to ruin her business and life as soon as I saw Sasha was interested in you I decided to try and get you to like me so
That I can let her know what it's like when she loses someone she loves then by using you I'd take all the confidential info to to I'm so sorry Clark by the time I'd finished telling him I was crying so much I could barely breathe and I knew
Clark would be deeply upset but instead something crazy happened he came over and hugged me he told me to calm down and then he said revenge is pointless Ellie it doesn't do anyone any good especially not you I know Sasha hurt you but you need to let that go it's in the
Past now sure it might make you feel good right now but in the long run will you be any happier I just cried even more then why was he still being so nice to me I didn't deserve this I kept apologizing and he said he understood
Why I done it all and that he forgave me he said I know you have a good heart in there you just got a little lost that's all but promise me one thing please don't hand over the documents to your old company our company has worked so
Hard on this please don't do it Ellie well it was the least I could do after everything I'd done to him so far I promised not to hand the documents over and after I left Clark in the office I realized something I actually liked him
Not just as a friend or colleague but as something more I had actual feelings for him and now I'd gone and hurt him so much I felt awful and there were still a couple of other things I had to deal with too as soon as I got home I called
Brian but he didn't answer I knew I couldn't wait any longer so I left him a voice message explaining everything I ended the message by saying sorry but I knew Brian would struggle to forgive me and I didn't blame him not only had I cheated on him I'd even tried to harm
His mom anyway she was his mom even if she' done bad stuff in her past the next morning I quit my job people were shocked but I just told them I wanted to go home and be with my mom when I was packing my stuff at my office I found a
Notep paper from Clark saying leave the grief behind and live happily my darling a good girl like you deserves happiness so Clark wasn't angry with me at all that's enough now I could leave without any worries over the next few days I packed up all my stuff and left San Fran
My heart was aching the whole time but I knew I needed to get out of there and clear my head I just checked in at the airport when Brian called me I was so nervous to answer his call as I hadn't heard back from him since I left the
Voice message I held my breath as I accepted the call and prepared for him to shout at me but it didn't happen still with his usual sweetness and calm he told me he was so shocked by my message he hadn't known what to say to
Me it had taken him a few days to think everything through and now he said was ready to talk I'm not mad at you Ellie he said but you should have shared your childhood stuff with me earlier and why didn't you tell me that it was my mom
Your dad ran off with we could have worked through this I'm so sorry my mom was the one that tore your family apart but she's different now please just give her a chance Brian I'm sorry for everything I'm glad that you're not angry with me but to forgive your mom I
Think I I need more time it seemed that Brian was about to say something but that's when I heard the airport announcement asking passengers in my flight to proceed to the boarding gate therefore I had no choice but to hang up the phone um Brian listen I'm so sorry but
My plane is ready for boarding can I call you back soon huh where are you going he asked I told him I was going to stay with my mom for a bit well I reckon that it'll be better for you now take your time and think things through especially our
Relationship I was startled as he said our relationship but realized he was right I definitely needed some time to work things out could I ever forgive Sasha I loved Brian but was that love big enough to leave all this behind I mean I didn't know whether I could see
Sasha as my mother-in-law or not and how would my mom react to this I got on the plane and sat down for the first time in months my heart felt more peaceful again and I felt like I could really sleep it's right neither Brian nor Clark hated
Me things would be okay I was just about to close my eyes when I heard someone say my name I looked up and to my complete shock Clark was walking down the aisle of the plane he sat in the seat right opposite me and turned to me
With the biggest grin and said I've never been to La before want to be my tour guide oh my God I couldn't believe this what was he doing here I was so shocked to see him but at the same time there was no denying the excitement I
Felt no one could ever say I led a boring life that's for sure I gave Clark a smile and said sure to him I have no idea what the future holds for me but I guess I'll find out soon wish me luck this school is so boring all they do is
Talk nonsense and do nonsense things worse still I feel like I can never Escape them as some of them live in the same neighborhood as me but you know what the most annoying thing about my life is that's Joy my identical twin sister in my parents eyes she's perfect
That's why she's the favorite Child her allowance is more than mine and she gets to attend an elite private school while I'm stuck at the most boring school ever how unfair with a sulky face I walked into my room whining I think having identical daughters means our parents forgot that
There's actually two of us they've never picked me up from school don't be absurd they just took me to collect my dress for the school Gala huh a new dress for some fancy party how terrible for you I don't even want to go to the party trust
A nerd like you not to appreciate what you have if I were you I'd make the most of every second of that Elite School of yours and if I were you I would just enjoy my pressure-free life we both sighed and stared into a void thinking about our tiring lives then Joy suddenly
Turned to me oh my God Jade do you want to be me go to my school have my things and attend the gala what a brilliant idea why had we never thought of it before I'd live her fancy life and she'd live my doll one that's perfect wow this schol is enormous I
Tried to keep my cool as I navigated the endless hallways in search of Joy's Locker ah found it I spotted a group of girls waving me over they must be Joyce besties Ruth Nora and Nell unlike my boring sister they looked very Glam in their branded clothes what a power group
Wherever we went all eyes were on us students handed us snacks Sav places in the cafeteria line for us and let us sit in the front row of the basketball match these girls were so interesting but I fit in with them way more than Joy did talking about Joy she somehow loved my
Boring oldfashioned school I'd never heard her chat that much in my life about how nice my friends were how easy all the lessons were and how cool the school bus was Joy's friends were so much fun and they did cool things for instance they always had shopping dates
And bought each other expensive gifts without question one time Nora the richest girl in the group didn't hesitate in going into Kate's spade and buying the new release handbag for Ruth I thought this was pretty awesome of Nora but then something happened that made me question the group dynamics Ruth
Told me that she liked the red velvet cupcakes at the bakery near my house and she asked me to buy her some I was happy to do it but the next day when I brought the cupcakes and told her the price she burst out laughing Joy my dear I don't
Care how much they cost that's your concern then she turned to Nora showed her a picture of a cute but expensive skirt and told her to order it for her hang on had she always been thinking it was acceptable to order us around like this I don't understand why an innocent
Bookworm like my sister would hang around with this cunning click they don't study at all during the test while I was still randomly circling the answer Ruth kept on kicking my chair and urging me to let her copy my work and as soon as a teacher turned her back on us she
Even snatched my answer sheet huh what's with that attitude I took a look around and saw both Nora and Nell were also copying another girl's paper against her will rude after the test Ruth came up to me hissing have you forgotten our deal huh deal what could it be well I guess I
Would have to put up with Ruth for as long as I was Joy so I could return everything to her in roughly the same condition after the gala what what I really should do now is just to enjoy this elite school life right so I didn't
Join Ruth and her minions for lunch but bought food from this super cool vending machine instead they even had pizza but the machine made these weird sounds ugh I think my food was stuck so I kicked and tapped it but it still didn't work you dare get into an altercation
With the pizza machine you must be starving oh my God this basketball boy was the most handsome guy I'd ever seen in my life I was too lost in his eyes to realize the dumb machine had finally delivered my lunch this gorgeous guy then leaned towards me and my heart
Skipped oh Cupid I wish I was the one he picked up instead of the pizza here you go right before I could react someone snatched the tray and pushed me aside to enter between us thanks Hayden want to share lunch with me huh excuse me how
How could she steal both pizza and a boy from me the boy took my pizza from her and said thanks but I'd like to share this with this cute starving girl instead I'll buy the drinks wait was he asking me then yes 100% yes leaving a
Furious Ruth behind us we walked to the bench table nearby so he's Hayden the captain of the basketball team we talked so much about our favorite comic books and even played basketball for a bit before classes that was my best lunch ever after school I was about to leave
When Ruth stopped me didn't anyone ever tell you not to mingle with Hayden he's not wealthy we have high standards about who deserves to be around us duh huh she sure seemed to SW over him earlier but now that he turned her down she decided he wasn't worthy this girl's mindset
Really didn't sit well with me as soon as I arrived home I told Joy everything you should listen to Ruth Hayden must be bad news I don't care what Ruth thinks how come you do is it because of this deal you have with her not your business
But stay away from Hayden I don't want to get in trouble this vague hints were agitating me what was it about but whatever the deal between joy and Ruth was I wasn't going to let it get in the way of my blossoming romance with Hayden today me and Hayden had arranged to meet
At lunch again to play basketball I excitedly watch walked out of our class just as the girl fell and dropped her painting set around my feet I immediately picked them up for her when all of the sudden a boy's hand covered mine right before someone stamped their
Feet on our hands it was Ruth it was her who tripped up the poor girl too she did all that on purpose to hurt me but Hayden got there just in time to save the day what do you think you're doing feeling too embarrassed being caught red-handed Ruth couldn't do anything but
Give me a spiteful look before leaving I couldn't believe that Hayden did that for me his hand was swollen but he just kept checking if my hand was okay how can Ruth be so horrible because she knows everyone's ugly secrets and she uses them to control people Joy she
Knows your secret too right no uh um I'm not sure but I don't care no matter what that secret is she's gone too far don't worry I got your back so will I oh I'm Katie by the way way from then on I no longer hung out with Ruth and her
Minions but I kept quiet about this to Joy as I didn't want her freaking out and making a switch back places early the more time I spent with Hayden the more I found myself liking him I wanted to confess to him who I really am but I can't at least not yet
Anyway Katie is really nice to me too and she introduced me to her super sweet friends everything was just perfect except my grades well I did didn't dare to tell Joy about this either my study was pretty bad and it literally ruined Joy's straight a record meanwhile Ruth
Time After Time insisted that I was the one who had to do all her homework research and tests but duh I couldn't even finish mine you know what I've got yeah what exactly is that you have what's all the threat about Ruth was stunned seeing me talking back at her
Like that yep that was it I've had enough after class she waited at my locker and Signal me to follow her to the equipment room finally I can know what my secret was Ruth showed me a video on her phone of Joy sneakily checking her notes during an examination
Was she cheating if our principal sees this I'm sure your precious scholarship will be long gone and what about that excellent student title of yours so Ruth was using this to manipulate Joy does she do the same to everyone else do you think this would scare me I don't think
I know you don't want to lose everything right h no Ruth it's you who's going to lose do whatever you want with that clip like I care and so I walked away leaving a fuming Ruth behind to be honest I was a bit scared well I know scores and
Things like academic transcripts were so important to Joy but if I destroyed it all after my last class of the day the thing that I feared the most Came Upon me the principal called me to her office and showed me the video that proved that
I cheated on a math exam she was so disappointed in my horrible grades recently she even asked if it was because I was too caught up in my dating life and the bad influence I called friends but how am I supposed to tell her that it was just my own incompetence
Nothing to do with Joy or Hayden or my new friends I just reached my room door when I heard mom scolding Joy the principal must have called her it was all my fault when Mom left the room I could feel how angry and frustrated mom
Was Joy I'm so sorry I couldn't let Ruth have this hold over me um I mean you anymore I Waited For Joy to take it out on me but to my surprise she was kind of happy that's okay I think I should thank you for that I've never been brave
Enough to stand up for myself although I was so tired of getting picked on all the time I was so scared but turns out being scolded by mom is it as as I thought my home room teacher also called me but she only gave me a warning and
Told me not to make the same mistake again I've never felt this at ease before Jade I'm not the perfect Joy anymore then Joy told me about the pressure she felt to be perfect one time she even got sick before the math test due to studying too much not having
Enough decent revision and being afraid of getting a bad grade Joy cheated and was caught and recorded by Ruth as evidence we finally un stood each other and decided to teach Ruth a lesson to stop manipulating and taking advantage of others we spied on Ruth and secretly
Recorded her and guess what turned out she was not as wealthy as she always pretended to be all the brand names she had were from the poor victims that she called friends I also filmed Ruth forcing the top students to do homework and essays for the rich kids while she
Just sat idly to collect money I was so ready to post these videos online but joy stopped me she told me if we did this we were just as bad as Ruth instead she had a better idea she sent the videos to Ruth and demanded her to
Delete all of the student secrets in exchange we would delete all of hers Ruth of course had no choice but to obey wow how mature my sister is my last day in Joyce life has arrived I'm just going to make the most of it before I hand the
Reins back to my sister honestly I kind of miss my normal school and my friends but what about Hayden will he still want to know me when he finds out I lied to him I was looking around for Hayden when I saw some Mean Girls mocking Ruth for
Wearing a dress cheaper than theirs so I walked straight up to them and whispered into their ears that I knew all their dirty secrets and they couldn't do anything else but storm off Ruth gave me a koi look mumbled to thank you and then left at that moment a warm hand gently
Clasped mine Hayden wow you're so cool I I'm not that that cool Hayden actually I am I have something I have to tell you I then told him everything from how I swapped identities with my twin sister to how I ruined her school life because of my childishness you didn't ruin
Anything actually you made things much better so since the pizza vending machine day till now it has always been you not Joy right yeah it's been me all along that's all I needed to know then he pulled me in for the best kiss ever just another beautiful Sunday I was
Bragging to Nanny Emma about my wonderful Adventure goodness that's incredible weren't you scared of course not dad taught me why are you still here Amy get ready for your piano lesson oh it's Mom again she rushed in snatched the phone out of my hand said go now or
I'll delete all these videos okay just delete them nothing you do could ever make me care more about those noise making logs then I left to my room always ballet and piano and violin what kind of mother forces their kid to do things they don't
Like I won't back down this time I have my videos all back top online anyway anyway she can't control me what huh what else I turned around to see Mom drop to her knees no no it can't be just this morning my husband was still dad
Had suffered a stroke on a trip to survey a gem mine and they couldn't reach the hospital in time to save him how could that be he's not only my dad he's my bestest friend I bet the news is just as hard to deal with for my sister
Biona as she was always the one who went on business bus Expeditions with him he's the best dad we could ever ask for but he's gone and it felt like Emma and biona were the only people who really love me now just last week dad was
Sitting here next to me darling it's not good for you to just sit home and wallow why don't you get out of here for a few days and go where next week your sister is going on a trip to a new mine you can tag along I'm sure she'd enjoy the
Company I don't know I don't like business trips I'll bet you can make time for some Adventures while you're there there's bound to be hiking and things you like to do since when does Mom support any of my hobbies she really must not want me around huh if that's
What she wants okay then sure we were already running late for our flight when biona realized she had forgotten her passport I offered to stay with her but she insisted that at least one of us should make the flight she assured me she'd be back in time for the next
Flight and we'd see each other soon so I hugged her goodbye and headed toward the gate while waiting for Briana to arrive I've already booked myself a skydiving session as recommended by the hotel's receptionist this thing is right up my alley but the weather doesn't look too
Good are you sure this is normal 100% that's what makes it special here people come from all over just for these wins this is what you call extreme sports isn't it yeah right bring it on so on the count of three I was freef falling it was an unrivaled
Exhilaration the ultimate thrill until I deployed my parachute instead of gently floating to the ground I was carried away by gust after gust of wind then I bled out I slowly open my eyes what has happened am I in heaven now I look around to see nothing but a beach framed
By a dense forest this place was clearly deserted maybe not so deserted there I saw a group of of tribal people dressed in strange clothes wielding Spears I tried to move closer to get a better look but game over they all turned to my direction I duck down immediately but
Their footsteps grew louder I held my breath wishing for a miracle oh no this is definitely my end but unexpectedly the hand pushed me down further into the bushes as if they were trying to hide me I looked up and saw it was a man talking
To the other in a native language the talking stopped seemed like the rest had left thank you thank you so much handsome Mister sorry for bothering you I'm going to get going now I may have let you off but the others won't these people are aggressive and will attack
Any Intruder oh he can speak English nice I'm saved now as I followed him through the forest he stayed quiet but I couldn't help brimming with questions where did you come from why are you here you're not a local right are you a scientist can you please tell me your
Name silus okay silus may I borrow your phone to call my sister she'll pick me right up do you think I'd be here if I had a phone I also got here by an accident a couple of years ago living like one of them is the only way to
Survive around here at least until someone comes to save us no no that can't be it wasn't a deserted island but I was certainly deserted on it we arrived at a cave on the other side of the island where according to silus the locals never roam around you'll be safe
Here I'll be right back I didn't need him to take care of me he may have stayed here for years but I won't I'll Escape it wouldn't be so hard to build a raft right so I gathered some logs you hungry silus came back and threw something wrapped in
Leaves get these gross bugs away from me I would rather starve these are a delicacy you have no taste stay here don't do anything stupid it's getting dark so I had no choice but to go to sleep hungry in the stuffy Mucky cave there was dirty moss and bugs
Everywhere ew at the break of dawn I couldn't stand it any longer I got up to continue working on my raft taada easy peasy now goodbye stupid island but no my beautiful raft crumbled and sank as soon as it touched the water feeling defeated I laid on the sand in
Frustration suddenly I heard a whistle hm silus how am I supposed to get up there am I his pet or something what gives making me walk all the way up here mind you I haven't eaten in a day then let's go get breakfast but get changed
First he then took me to a river and showed me how to catch fishes what do you mean I'm supposed to get my breakfast with this stick watch and learn princess then silus jabbed the spear into the water again and again until it's full of fishes okay want to
Challenge me that's easy only it's not it's like the fishes could read my mind it's been like half an hour and still nothing there is plenty of fish in the se but somehow you can't catch any don't expect anything from my batch whatever I'm not hungry I don't need him my
Sister will surely come and get me out of here on our private Chopper soon but silus was really rubbing it in grilling fish in front of me until the delicious smell filled my nose but no way I'd give into this this is your best bet unless
You want to try grilled rat or cicada or fine get me when we first met I thought you were cute but after seeing this this smug Tarzan full now then it's time for work work so you're only keeping me around to be your slave do you want to keep living
In that cave you shouldn't steal the bugs home like that we continue to walk deeper into the jungle until we reach this huge tree we should build you a shelter up there you'll be safe from the wildlife and the natives don't go to this area does it need to be up so high
If they are that dangerous how come you survive here this long are you playing me I got really lucky I was Swept Away by a storm while sailing alone and when I washed up here the natives were so ready to you know send me to God but thankfully the chief's daughter Nora
Desperately begged her father to let me live and for some reason he did that wouldn't happen to just anyone oh this nor go girl must have been caught in some up at First Sight that's why you stayed here all this time so romantic stop wasting time let's get to
Work building a shelter proved to be more difficult than expected and silus proved to be quite bossy hand me the Big Branch bigger Amy Rattan rope give me another knife just wait a second let me catch my breath you were so determined a few minutes ago go take a break I want
To finish this before Sunset I sat there watching Sila's work as the afternoon turned to dusk and I must have dozed off for a while as when I woke up the Treehouse was done to be honest it was better than what I expected from him but
Where is he I looked around but the only thing I found was his scribbles on the ground stay here I was glad to have my own shelter but there is nothing to do to pass the time suddenly there was a sound must be coming from the tribe I
Followed the direction of the sound hoping not to get lost but soon enough I found a clearing where a group of the natives were gathered around a huge bonfire fire they were chanting something others were dancing others cheered it looked like they were having fun which hit me with a wave of
Homesickness for a moment I was so lost in their celebration that I forgot I was being stealthy uhoh not again I could have tried to run but I froze thankfully Silas stepped forward telling the others to stay as he approached we made eye contact briefly before he signaled
People that the coast was clear then gave me a quick wink before returning to the fire shortly after I returned home silus did too are you trying to get yourself killed I'm not kidding when I say it will be very bad if they find out about you I'm sorry I'm just scared and
Lonely I'm all by myself and my family must be looking for me everywhere to my surprise silus came over to comfort me everything's going to be all right I got you who where how are you here she clearly didn't know much English but her weapon pointed at me was enough to know
That she was angry Silas immediately ran over to calm her down I didn't know what they were saying but she left though not before giving me one last dirty look turned out it was Nora oh what a relief an acquaintance why didn't you tell me earlier don't celebrate too soon Nora
Insisted you leave immediately oh she knows how then I don't have much of a choice whether I Stay or Leave Here do I don't worry I'll take care of Nora and he must have because the days passed by in natives never came to drive me out silus continued to visit me every day
Bringing cloves teaching me how to pick fruit swing on branches soon the work turned to play he started teaching me tribal dances and vocabulary and we visited the waterfalls and lakes around the island it's pretty fun it felt like going on adventures with my dad again confident in my knowledge of the island
I started to venture out on my own but silus didn't prepare me for this the leopard showed itself and slowly moved towards me I tried to stay composed to find a way to escape even though every bit of me was freaking out when suddenly Nora jumped down from nowhere and petted
The leopard as if it was her little kitten she gave it a fish and the kitty just happily ran away thank you so much I'm Amy silas's friend silus mine yes he's all yours I hate him so much I wouldn't even touch a strand of his hair
Silus ew no no nor Huffs loudly before leaving here or maybe I shouldn't share it with you since you hate me so much oh stop it my life was on the line it was not time to confess my feelings oops what did I just say I continued to
Stutter making lame excuses you're not even listening to me are you you haven't heard a thing I said huh what did you say he grinned and left without another word I couldn't stop smiling at the silly bracelet the island isn't really that bad I have the freedom of always
Wanted I wake up with the sunrise and have things like this this really is the life one day the sun had already set and silus still hadn't come over I was starting to worry when he arrived with Nora silus said she wanted to bring me some clothes I was relieved that she
Finally wanted to make peace but her expression confused me when I thanked her she didn't say a thing or even smile we sat around the fire Silas and I talked about one thing after another oops we might have forgotten about Nora but the language barrier really is a big
Deal you know and so she just sat there sulking suddenly she stood up causing hot cold to Splatter all over me silus hastily helped me clean my hands as Norris stormed off is she okay maybe you should go follow her but silus reassured me she'd be fine and went to find aloe
Vera sap for my Burns I think she misinterprets our relationship does she cuz I too thought there was something going on I was too surprised but managed to gather myself enough to reply like clumsily sis who I don't think you formerly courted me sir tomorrow will be
Our first date then in the mushroom Forest what did you say I was glad Silas had saved this place for a date because everything about it was curious and beautiful before long I had wandered far ahead of silus I knew I had gone too far but something drew me deeper into the
Forest I walked along this cave as I thought I saw a ray of light at the end and there really was the cave was not a dead end but it was just covered by Vines and oh my God this is like a whole another paradise that hasn't been
Discovered and there was wreckage of an old helicopter I immediately called Silas over and he seemed to not have any idea about this either we explored the helicopter the whole morning but it was nothing except a rusted hunk of junk we were about to leave when Silas hit a
Button and the radio came to life we had found our new hobby since then we went there every day listening to music and pre-recorded content on the stereo but eventually we somehow got a faint radio signal and for the first time we had some connection to the outside world I
Normally didn't care so much for news but my interest was piqued by a familiar sounding story right after the death of the biggest name in The Gem industry his wife was kicked out of the house any relations to the missing of the youngest daughter who will be the winner of the
Fight for his inheritance was this real were they talking about my family on the radio why would my mother leave I then recalled my mother's strange behavior before I left she for the first time encouraged me to go on an adventure and I somehow ended up here was it even a
Coincidence oh no how could a mother do this to her own daughter calm down I believe there's more to this don't jump to conclusion yet personally I don't think tigers eat there young maybe maybe not there's only one way to find out I need to go home
Immediately hey it's me again Amy last time we we spoke I had made a huge Discovery but before we get to that let me just remind you how we got here my father's death left me completely devastated so Mom suddenly convinced me to travel to take my mind off of it but
Instead of having a good time I accidentally got stranded on this exotic island that's owned by a native tribe who do not like barners luckily I met Silas who helped me survive here and we actually have gotten pretty close we're having so much fun that for
A second I forgot that I had to go back back until I heard the rumor that my accident could have been staged would my own mother really have caused me to end up here I needed to go home immediately to find out and silus was willing to
Help with all his might but it's been a few days and I haven't heard anything back from him I waited eagerly then impatiently for him to come finally one afternoon I heard a noise outside I quickly went down to check to my surprise it wasn't silus it was Nora and
As usual she looked annoyed to see me I tried to tell her silus wasn't here but but she pushed past me anyway and grabbed a stick to draw something what are you doing abstract art there Island I see people then I got it there's an island with people can we get there yes
Can go we can take a boat there she nodded again and signaled me to follow her oh my God I jumped with excitement maybe I was wrong about her Nora led me to the shore where she uncovered a small boat hidden behind a bush go away now go
Go Nora p P me towards the boat sat me down and started pushing the boat towards the water isn't it a little late to sail now wind wind faster as we reached the edge of the tide I realized wait I need to tell silus I'm leaving Nora immediately became frustrated silus
With Dad danger I didn't quite believe her but I also didn't know if I'd get another chance like this I couldn't imagine leaving silus behind without a goodbye I felt a pit in my stomach but we will meet again someday definitely our family has all the money to rescue
Him later just hang on a bit more hun I'll go get help Nora kept pushing me and she's right the patrol could detect me at any moment so I started paddling away see you again silus but I only managed to go for a few feet and then
It's like my boat got stuck on something I turned around to see Silas what do you think you're doing hey Norah said that there is an inhabited Island nearby and I didn't want to miss the chance get off the boat it's too dark and too dangerous
To go out there by yourself I'll go and check it out first and come back by morning to let you know if it's safe stay here I was confident in his sailing ability but it seems Nora wasn't she ran to cling to his arm begging him not to
Go still he ignored her and got on the boat Norah glared at me before storming off but I stayed on the shore for a moment watching Silas disappear into the dark sea soon enough the winds grew stronger and the rain started coming down hard the storm lasted through the
Night I stayed up waiting in the cave where I spent my first night on the island the rain stopped by Dawn I couldn't sit still and kept marching back and forth along the shore looking for any signs of silus Nora returned soon after yelling at me in her native
Tongue I didn't understand anything she was saying but I knew she was just as worried for Silas as I was he'll be back soon safe and sound I trust him and moments later there he really was coming back to shore I couldn't help but run up
And hug him as soon as he stepped out of the boat I asked if he was okay and how he dealt with the rain and Silas answered all of my questions with a tight hug but soon we were interrupted by Nora she shouted angrily and then stormed off Silas chased after her and
Said some things that seemed to calm her down that island is actually your family's gem mine I've let them know that their boss lady is alive and well and ready to go home oh my god really they have their ship ready just a bit further offshore since it's dangerous to
Get close to the island you know just sail out a little bit and they'll pick you right up yay I'm finally leaving we're finally silus stopped walking and looked at me sadly come on let's go I can't go with you Nora will only let you
Go peacefully if I stay here if I try to leave with you she'll tell her father my heart sank we'll see each other again I promise how where there's a will there's a way silus squeezed my hand and then let me go I tried not to look back at
Him as I got onto the boat and set sail I traveled for what could have been a few minutes or a few hours I couldn't tell anymore until I was finally spotted by a larger vessel they set out a Lifeboat for me and once on board I was
Well taken care of by everyone offered food and warm cloes but first thing first I had to contact my family I called home and the person on the other end was my grandmother she's as surprised to hear my voice as me hearing hers turns out after all the shenanigans
That happened after my father's death my Grandma had moved into our house to take care of things and wait for my return we cried for a good 10 minutes and then I told her not to worry I was safe and that I'd be home soon when I got home
Grandma Nanny Emma and my my sister biona rushed to greet me as my sister hugged me tightly I realized how much I had truly missed them and also realized that my mom was really nowhere to be seen no one made any mention of her in
Any way I worked up the nerve to ask my grandma about her right when the police said there were signs of Foul Play in your disappearance I already got suspicious then when Emma said it was your mother who suggested you go there and play those silly games I immediately
Kicked her out people are truly full of surprises do you really think think Mom was masterminding all this she was really trying to get both of you biona was lucky she forgot her passport don't be glum deare you still have me and biona and Emma too we all love you and
Care about you very much now go have some rest it must have been a long journey for you the next day as soon as I got up I went looking for my sister to confirm the things Grandma had said when I found her I couldn't stop the tears
From spilling out how could mom have been the one to do this why would she do told something like this to her own children Amy never listen to a story from one side only huh do you know something I don't know just don't jump into conclusions yet she then excused
Herself to work and hardly left before I could ask anything else I kept thinking about what biona said but couldn't come up with any other speculation as I passed my parents' room I noticed a box sitting outside the door it's full of my mother's belongings nanny ammer is
Probably packing my mom's stuff out of here something in the Box caught my eye I opened it up and found that it was a photo album of me since I was a kid and next to each picture is some love notes this is definitely my mom's handwriting
My eyes landed on a photo of myself playing the piano and my mother wrote Sweet pee playing my favorite song she meant so well but I was always the ungrateful rebellious one was that why she stopped loving me did I do anything that terrible for her to want me gone I
Suddenly missed her I found myself taking the photo up to the piano room some place I've never gone voluntarily but as I reached for the door knob I heard voices coming from the inside I peaked through the ajar door stop it it's lucky enough that you didn't get
Caught just get out of here before it's too late and throw all of my effort in vain no way my plan was going so well how on Earth could she survive so plan B you need to secure that spot in the board of directors before Amy gets in
The way and I'll take care of the rest but oh God them they were behind all this that night I waited until I had everyone together to make an exciting announcement tomorrow I'm officially going to start working for the company I've been working on a proposal to pitch
To the board of directors to gain their approval that's wonderful dear don't you think you need some sort of rest sweetheart you went through a big ordeal and I'm ready I'm totally fine well biona will also be returning to the company and I'm glad I'll be able to
Help her out the more hands the better I'm so glad you want to join the company later that evening Nanny came into my room with a warm glass of milk oh Emma you always take such a good care of me well tomorrow is going to be a big day
And you need to get a good night's rest thank you finish your milk before it gets cold sweetie good night I hooked the warm milk glass and smiled at her as she walked out okay one last revision and then I'll go prepare my outfit for tomorrow but my eyes so tired suddenly I
Was woken up by a sound of the door then it slowly opened followed by footsteps someone is walking towards me she's looking for my documents aha time to wrap up your play Emma oh sweetie go to sleep properly in bed I'll I'll help you tidy up cut the ACT you witch what do
You think you're going to find here my presentation for tomorrow jokes on you it's a trap but the milk youve drank it all you mean the glass of milk flavored hypnotic I've poured it down the drain sorry suddenly felt lactose intolerant bold of you to think you can fool me in
My own house I've seen everything but why do you want to take me down that bad Emma aren't we because my daughter biona deserves his company more than you before I could even process that information Emma was rushing towards me holding a chloroform soaked rag just as
She backed me into a corner the door flew open my grandma and biona rushed in followed by the police who restrained Emma right away biona ran over yelling I told you I didn't want any part in your schemes I would never ever hurt my sister biona did you know she was your
Real mother already not until after mom was gone then Emma told me everything sensing my confusion biona explained that Emma had a fling with our father many years ago but he wouldn't marry her because of her lesser status she was already pregnant with biona at the time
So our father allowed her to stay as a nanny when my Mom married our dad she only knew that biona was her husband's stepchild I'm sorry I didn't come clean sooner I didn't know what to do because I didn't realize how far she was willing
To go but when I saw her messing with your drink I knew that I needed to at least warn you thank you for always being on my side and telling the truth now it must have been even harder for you to process all these but don't worry
We can still make this right Emma was trying to explain away her crimes as the police escorted her away in handcuffs they assured as Justice would be served we got in touch with Mom and by morning she was back home after some more crying and apologizing and explaining and
Hugging everything was as close to normal as it could be I admitted that I didn't want the responsibility of running the company but there was something I did want I wanted to return to the Gem Island and oversee the exploration of the new mines but I didn't say was the reason I really
Wanted to return He was all I could think about as I embarked on my journey Back to the Island we took a big boat as far as we could before I needed to board a paddleboat to remain undetected once we reached native territory before I knew it the island appeared on the
Horizon my heart fluttered as I paddled faster and faster waiting for the moment I could finally see silent again I was so focused on the land ahead that I didn't see the huge wave coming up from behind and overturned my boat when I open my eyes I once again thought I was
Dead this time it was because the first thing I saw was an angel's face silus Amy hi I told you we'd see each other again but my moment in heaven was interrupted by the trib's return we were surrounded by the natives hollering and pounding their Spears into the ground a
Man angrier and more distinctively dressed than the rest stepped forward this must be the chief he shouted something to the others and they grew quiet he shouted some more and all of their Spears were pointed at me and Silas I looked up at Silas his face didn't change he hugged me even tighter
Just when I thought the end was near I heard a familiar voice Nora was standing in between usz and her father shouting desperately the chief's expression softened and after some discussion between them the chief gave another order which made Silas very surprised so yes thanks to Nora and all the good
Deeds that Silas has done for the tribe they spared our lives but they ordered us both to leave their territory right away so Silas and I moved to the main island where my family's gem mine is located here we still have the beauty and simplicity of the wild lifestyle
While being connected to the rest of the world and helping manage our family business so it's okay that we're not allowed to stay on the trib's island not to mention we still have a friend who often comes to visit Norah had nagged her father to allow her to come over to
Our Island every few days it was at first because of silus but I think that she has set her sights on someone new Now
