Once In Loved, Now Taking RevengeChapter 1: Shattered Lies, Broken Career
“Fuck you, Sir Lorde. You ruined me.”
The man who took my virginity. Tears blurred my vision as I stared down at the dark stain on my skirt. Blood. It had already dried, but I could still feel the pain, the violation, the disgust crawling under my skin.
My singer career debut night should have been the happiest moment of my life. Instead, it became my worst nightmare. I let out a broken laugh, my voice shaking as I whispered his name, hating how easily it slipped from my lips. The producer who had promised to make me a star. The same man who had stolen everything from me.
My phone suddenly vibrated, snapping me back to reality. I glanced at the screen—Kate. My best friend. For a brief moment, I hesitated. Should I tell her? Should I finally let everything out? My fingers reached for the phone, but before I could grab it, it slipped from my grasp, landing somewhere on the passenger seat.
“Damn it.” I blindly reached for it, my focus drifting from the road. And that was my mistake.
A deafening crash. The violent force of impact. The sound of shattering glass. Pain exploded in my skull as my body lurched forward. My seatbelt tightened around my chest, knocking the breath out of me. I barely had time to process what happened before something sharp pierced my skin. My vision blurred as tiny shards of glass lodged into my eyes. Then, everything went dark.
A sharp, sterile scent filled my nose when I woke up. My head throbbed, and when I tried to open my eyes, all I saw was a blurry mess of white. A hospital. I was still alive. But I didn’t stay conscious for long.
Weeks passed before I was finally discharged. My eyesight had recovered—thankfully—but I made a choice. I decided to keep it a secret from James, my fiancé.
For years, I had heard whispers—rumors that James had a hand in my parents’ deaths. And after everything that had happened, I couldn’t ignore the doubts creeping into my mind. If I pretended to still be blind, maybe I could finally uncover what he had been hiding from me all along.
The wedding, which had been scheduled right after my accident, was postponed. James was concerned. I can't lie, we've been together for a frw years before my parents forced me to say yes for James's proposal. Even though, they knew I was in the middle of pursuing my career.
