Jennifer had passed out in the same instant the incident occurred. In that instant, her death was visible to her own eyes. Time seemed to have come to pause. She had tried to move but could not. Every part of her felt paralyzed as if yearning for that moment. Yes, that was it. With the two people who meant the most to her suddenly betraying her and then giving her the shitty treatment, life had no more meaning to her. It was okay if it just ended. The cab driver opened the door with fury registered on his face. He slammed the door shut with great energy and strode to where she lay. "Damn it!" He growled in anger. "What if I had run you over?" No response came from Jennifer. She just lay unconsciously on the ground. The driver examined her. There were no bruises. As a matter of fact, he hit the brake pads early enough to have stopped the car from making even the slightest contact with the breath from her nose let alone hitting her. So, why was she lying on the floor when he didn't e

The name echoed in the head of Jennifer for a while. But she knocked it off her mind. There was no way in the heavens and on earth that the supposed son who was named after such a grand and prestigious business was a common cab driver. You only get to see such trashy events in movies. "Do you mind telling me your own name?" Avalon asked her from the cab. She scoffed and turned. "I never asked you for your name, did I?" "Courtesy demands that you tell me. Come on. I just told you mine." "Well, I never asked for your name," she replied. "Does that mean I won't get to know your name?" He asked with a pitiful look on his face. Jennifer stood for a few seconds as if giving it a proper consideration as to whether or not she should let the name out. Then,she said half-heartedly, "You can call me Jennifer." Avalon grinned. "That's a sweet name you've got there. Do you mind if I simply call you Jenny?" He stroked his jaw. "That sounds sweet, doesn't it?" Jenny… There were a cou

When Jennifer woke up, she felt a heavy pound in her head. It almost felt as if her head was going to fall off her neck. The ache threatened to split her head into equal segments. As her head kept pounding so heavily, she struggled to make any sense out of her current environment. She was in a room which she could not recognize. Where was she? She was confused. How did she did even got there. She tried to recall but she could not. She struggled and managed to get herself up to a sitting position. With her eyes still scanning the room, she tried to get out of the bed. "Argh," she muttered in pain. The ache in her head would not let her move a muscle. She remained calm for a couple of seconds and tried to process the whole event. Firstly, she went to see that witch. Secondly, she was given another round of those humiliating words from someone she called her best friend for a long time. Somehow, she found herself on the ground before losing consciousness. How did she end up in the

The next morning, Jennifer gathered the remaining pieces of herself and got ready for work. She was lucky enough that the whole hassle took place within the time frame of her leave. Had that not been the case, she would definitely have messed up entirely at work. And who knows, maybe she might have lost her job too. If that were to be the case for her, there would be no redemption at all. She stood in front of her mirror and had a final look at her corporate dress sense. A white shirt that went with a pair black pants. She went with black flat leather shoes. She simply wanted something that would not be an additional stress while she took her steps. "Hmm," she exhaled tiredly and grabbed her handbag. Just before leaving, she recalled what Avalon had said. He promised to help her out with the uploaded pictures. Well, he must have been bluffing. But even at that,a part of her prayed that it should be true. She flipped her phone and went into the online space. To her surprise, ther

A couple of weeks later, Jennifer had already moved on from her past. Not like she had a choice. Even if she didn't want to get over her past, there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. Donald was no longer his. Lucy was equally not someone she could refer to as a friend anymore let alone being called best friend. After getting fired from her place of work, it felt as if the whole world was going to crumble right on top of her. But somehow, she ended up finding her head above the water. And thanks to Avalon, life had not been as lonely as she thought it would be. They had become really good friends and were bonded already. "Jennifer!" Ms Mabel's voice called out loudly. "Yes, ma'am!" Jennifer responded almost immediately. Ms Mabel was her new boss. Owing to the scandalous act by Lucy, it was more than difficult to get any job. But somehow, she landed herself in a small restaurant where she now worked as a waitress. The salary was very meager, almost a quarter of what
