Chapter 10 – Feisty Wife
I put on my hoodie as I walked to the classroom. Jane waved at me as soon as she recognized me. I focused my eyes on the floor until I reached her, although there were few people inside.
"Have you heard?" She asked in a hushed tone. "And what's with the eyeglasses? I thought you'll be using your contacts,"
I opened my book. "I was in a hurry," I answered pretending to read.
She nodded. "I had to call Ed early this morning to confirm the news, and -" She was interrupted when Ed came in. He gave us a sweet smile, then walked towards us.
He sat in the vacant chair and turned to Jane. "So, this is the feeling of being the third wheel," he grunted.
She rolled her eyes and glanced at the doorway as the 'most iconic couple' all over the news this morning went in.

I have been meeting people that I shouldn't meet, and the fear of changing their lives frightened me.As soon as I got home, the basement has been my target. Just one glass of whisky would make me feel a bit better. Surely, dad wouldn't notice but before I could open the door, my kind-hearted father stepped out of the basement holding a bottle of wine. He was surprised to see me."D-dad," I stuttered as I smiled meekly."What are you doing here?" He asked as turned around to lock the door.

Albert was standing behind me when I turned around. He was grinning at me like an idiot, while I was like dying of a heart attack. I ran, as quietly as possible, towards the door to peek outside. Sienna has just turned off the light, and my parents put Billy on his bed in his room. I sighed in relief as I closed the door without making a sound.I was sweating and trembling as I lock the doorknob. This couldn't be happening. My father would kill Albert if he found out he has been sneaking into my room for two nights now.He plopped into my bed, reached for my pillow, and began to snore.I gaped at him in horror. I tugged his one arm to wake him up."Albert!" I whispered both in anger and fear. My parents were still awake, and with my lights still open, they might check on me again.I was taken by surprise when he pulled my arm, and before I could scream, he was already on top of me, with one hand at the back of my head and the other cove

Never Again Chapter 15 – Dying Heart
Diana sat on his lap and she kissed Albert fiercely on the lips. I heard him moan as he kissed back. He held her closer. When he opened his eyes, his eyes locked mine and I heard his scornful laugh. I opened my eyes.What a nightmare! I massaged my forehead and then looked around. I groaned as I remembered what happened.It was the familiar scent and the white cubicle curtain which made me realize where I was at the moment. I was in an emergency room of a hospital. I closed my eyes again.I was hoping I was brought to the hospital because of the accident at the construction site. The last three days traveling back in time drained me and put my heart in great misery.When the curtain opened, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep."Oh, sweetheart," I heard mom's worried voice.

Never Again Chapter 16 - Begin Again
I knew that Albert was displeased with my decision that we worked on our new project in that place, but he couldn't say anything.

I can't understand it…" showing desperation, she complained as she squinted her eyes on the word."Which one?"

Never Again Chapter 17 - Philip
The long drive to the beach didn't matter as long as Albert was with me. I guess even if our destination was the moon, it won't matter as long as we're together. When we reached the beach, it was still early morning and since his family owned the place, we're the only ones there.The salty air of the beach, the summer breeze, and the sound of the waves crashing to the shore excited me. He laughed at me as I ran to the shore and screamed when my feet felt the cold water. When I ran back to him, he imprisoned me with his embrace. Together, we admired the beauty of the blue sea as the sunlight made the water sparkle like a thousand tiny pearls floating in the ocean.As the waves crawled peacefully to the shore and our feet, he pulled me closer and kissed me."Selene!"Sienna's scream snapped me away from that memory.

The different styles and colors of the gowns of women were blinding me, and the music, laughter, and even the quiet voices of some people talking were deafening me. I turned to look for Albert, but I could not find him. I touched my forehead and started massaging it. I was starting to hyperventilate.A few moments later, the handsome Marco approached me. His friendly smile somehow consoles me. He asked me if I was okay, and I shook my head."Looking for Albert?" He turned his head closer to me so I can hear him better."Do you know where we went to?" I asked feeling relief Marco was there.He nodded, and when he stood, I followed him.He held my hand and led me inside the villa. He told me he knew where Albert was, and he would take me there.
