Prologue
A painful yelp escaped my lips when all of a sudden, Ethan gripped my cheeks and pulled me closer to him. He kept glaring at me but his eyes were filled with resentment and anger making me confused yet scared.
“Stop this act now. It’s pissing me off.” Ethan spat in a furious tone.
I was losing my mind now. I jerked his hands away.
“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? LEAVE ME!!”
I shouted and pushed him hard but he abruptly pinned me on the wall. A loud gasp escaped my lips as a sharp pain erupted on my back.
“Ms. Honey Samuels, you’re a great actor. Why don’t you become an actress?” Ethan said in a mocking tone.
“Why are you doing this?” My voice broke at last. He smirked.
Ethan then moved closer to my face, his hot breath fanning my skin.
“It’s just a payback.”
I looked at him confused.
“Payback? What payback? What are you talking about?” I looked at him irritatingly. What the hell this guy wants from me?
Ethan then gripped my waist tightly closing the gap between us. I was startled and immediately pushed his shoulders.
“E-Ethan-”
“How can you forget your best friend so easily, Honeybun?”
My eyes widened in shock. I looked at him with sparkling eyes not because of exhilaration but because of
Fear
“Eddie?”
Finally, the penny dropped. I stood petrified with fear. Suddenly everything started making sense to me. Ethan’s unnecessary hatred and rage towards me, the familiar dark vibes which I always got from him whenever he was around, his beautiful angelic face which always attracted me, his voice, his stare, his looks, why always I felt as if there was some connection between us. Why my mind couldn’t put the pieces together that Ethan was none other than my childhood friend, Eddie?
“How are you, my sweetheart?”
