Love, Autumn

“He is not what he seems to be, sweetheart. He’s far from it. Remember to listen to what he is saying and you’re going to be amazed at how happy he is going to make you. Defy him and he is going to unleash the beast he’s kept trapped in him all this time. It’s all darkness and in this darkness, you’ll find yourself entangled and trapped.” He warns me.

I don’t believe him. That couldn’t be possible.

“You’re lying.” I find myself spitting those words at him. “Sure he is cocky and arrogant from time to time but he’s not the devil. What exactly are you trying to imply?”

He only scoffs at my reaction. “You will only see what he wants to show you. Stop being naive now.” He starts to go away, smirking, leaving me in the empty dark hallway.

The Ancients believed the departed souls can all reincarnate as many times as they want but it is possible only if one has not yet fulfilled their purpose in life. No matter which path you choose, you can only understand with time that none of us has power over any matter in the universe. We are merely like pawns in a game of chess while every move of ours is nothing but a command from the player.

June Morrison has always contemplated her image as a Plain Jane. Her life felt like a monotonous bumpy car ride that never seemed to end and she didn’t have the slightest clue in which direction she was heading, until him. Yet what happens when she learns that everything she's ever known in her life has been nothing but a lie? Will she be able to accept all the secrets of another life that has long been forgotten and buried deep where things only spiral downward once she begins to find them out?

And sometimes the person we most believe in is the one who pushes us down from the edge of a cliff.
