Fated Revenge

CHAPTER THREE

****

LIAM HARPER

I gather my scattered clothes and rushed into the bathroom, limping in pain.

I rush into the bathroom and get dressed, different thoughts keeps swirl my mind and my eyes welled up with tears.

I storm out of the bathroom, and walk closer to Daniel who was sipping his wine on the bed and slap him really hard.

"I swear, Daniel, I'll make sure you pay for this." I threatened him before storming out of the hotel room.

I couldn't believe what just happened. i didn't understand how I ended up there, or how Daniel...I couldn't even think about it. I keep limping lifelessly through the city.

I felt like my whole life has shattered, i keep on crying, walking without a direction.

In a daze, I step into the road without looking, and a car screeched to a halt just inches from me.

"Watch where you are going!" The driver curse at me. I didn't even hear him, i just keep on walking.

Suddenly, an old man jump out of his Taxi and grab my hand. "Let me drop you off." he said, dragging me into his taxi.

I didn't resist, i just allow him take control.

The drive was a blur. " Go inside." He said, stopping the car.

I slowly raise my head and was shock to see where he dropped me.

"Lucas' house?" I murmured to myself, my heart sinking.

I sit in his Taxi, stunned, wondering how the old man knew to drop me off at Lucas' house.

" You will be given a second chance." he said, smiling at me. "make sure to use it well. Don't let them walk all over you again." The old man added to his words.

I Couldn't phantom what he his saying. I stare at him for a moment before stepping out of his car. I bow, trying to express my gratitude. " T..thank you." I stuttered, my voice shaking.

I don't know how to face Lucas again, i turn back ready to leave but have a change of mind as i see Hayden's car parked outside Lucas' house.

My eyes widen in horror, what could she be doing at Lucas house, early this morning?

I walk closer to the gate, surprisingly it was unlock. so i let myself in and approach the front door. I raise my hand up to ring the bell, but something stopped me, instead i enter the password and walk inside.

My eyes scan the entrance, and i see Hayden's high heel and Lucas' shoes at the doorstep. I stare at them for a moment before walking into the living room.

Hayden's designer bag was on the chair but she was not there.

Suddenly, I heard laughter coming from Lucas room. His door was slightly ajar, so i approach it.

My eyes widen at the scene i saw, Lucas and Hayden were on the bed, almost naked, kissing and cuddling each other.

" That fool must be enjoying her picnic, she won't ever find out that i set her up, right? Hayden said, smiling at Lucas.

"Of course, she is just a dummy." Lucas said, smirking "How can she find out. Plus, the drug i gave you to give her is a strong one, she might still be sleeping by now." Lucas said.

Hayden smiled and Lucas continue, " She was such a fool to even believe that, I'll settle for a dirty thing like her, when a beauty like you is here, i can't wait to get her s*x video from Daniel, so i can play it on our wedding day and make it seem like she cheated on me."

I fall to the floor, clutching my chest in agony. I feel pain, betrayal, it felt like I've been punched in the gut. I thought I knew Lucas, the man I have always loved for seven years, but now i realize he hated me.

I did everything to make him happy, but he was cheating on me with my own twin sister.

To even think that Hayden's love was never a sincere one.

" You even filmed it?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.

I slowly open the door wide, standing in the doorway.

Lucas and Hayden jump up, releasing their embraces as they see me standing there.

Their faces froze in shock, guilt and panic.

H..Hayden!" They both exclaimed in unison.

I stare at them both. " Start talking, why did you set me up with Daniel." my voice low and menacing.

Lucas take a step forward, but i cut him off.

"Wait, that's not even the question. The question is, since when have you both been cheating on me? I asked.

"Harper, i can explain." Lucas said.

I heard Hayden chuckles. " Since when? since when you've always felt like the boss, getting everything i always wanted. I'm the CEO, but the company runs on your ideas. So, i decided to destroy you, make you lose everything." She said, her voice dripping with malice.

I stand dumb founded, as i stare at Hayden. Her words cut deep.

" Dad's company needs investors, and Daniel offered to help." Hayden continued, "but in return, he wants to have s*x with you. So, i drugged you and...I mean, you should be happy a rich guy like Daniel had s*x with you." She said mocking me with her words.

I walk closer to her and slap her hard. " How dare you!" I said, Anger boiling in me.

Suddenly she grab my hair, and we both started fighting. Lucas came in between us and push me away really hard, making me hit the back of head at the wall.

I fall to the floor and see myself covered in blood.

Lucas rushed to Hayden's side. "Are you okay?" He asked, holding her shoulders.

"God!!" she exclaimed as she sees me covered in blood.

They both stare at me, shivering in fear.

My vision begin to blur. "Is this really how I'll die?" I thought to myself. Everything went black as i take my last breath.

***

I slowly open my eyes, and i find myself on my bed. I sit up immediately, touching my face all over, searching for any signs of injury. I rush to the mirror to check my head, but i didn't see any blood or wounds.

I keep pacing up and down, confusion set in as i try to piece together what just happened. I remembered dying at Lucas' house, but somehow, I'm alive and back in my room. How is this possible?

I scan through my room searching for answers. My eyes land on the calendar, and i quickly walk over to it. I scroll through the dates with my hands, as my eyes scan it.

A chill run down my spine as i see the year 2017 instead of 2024, as it should be.

What's going on? Did i just went back to seven years back? Wait! Did i just travel back in time?

I stumble backward, have so many questions, but no answers. The calendar slip from my fingers, and I scream, clutching my head.

"Are you okay, sis?" I heard a familiar voice at my door.

"H..Hayden?" I whisper to myself before rushing towards the door. I froze, my hand on the doorknob.

My eyes widen in horror as i see her, it's really her, but how? She was...she was the one who plotted against me with Lucas. And yet, here she is, standing in front of me as if nothing happened.

"I heard you scream, are you okay?" she asked, her eyes laced with concern.

I stare at her for a moment, she look...normal. before pushing her aside. She almost fall.

"Harper, what's wrong?" She asked, her eyes scanning my face with concern.

I want to scream, rage against her but something hold me back. Without a word, I push her aside, my hands trembling with anger and confusion.

She stumble backward, her eyes wide with surprise.

" Harper!" she exclaimed.

I walk through the house, my eyes scanning every room searching for a glimpse of reality. But everything seems so...normal.

I felt like I'm trapped in a dream, i flung open the front door and walk out with my bare legs.

How was this possible? I had died, I'm certain of it. And yet, here i am, alive and breathing. The thoughts swirled in my head.

I stumble past a sleek white car, my eyes were fixed on some point in the distance.

I run pass it without turning back.

"Liam Harper!"

I heard my name, call out in a low, and smooth voice.

I turn around, my eyes locking onto the car. The window slid down, revealing a Handsome guy with piercing eyes. i stare deeper into the eyes, my mind struggling to place him.

And then, recognition hit me. I know those eyes, that face. It is...

"CALEB RYAN!!"

The Young Mafia of the New York city, i heard whispers of his ruthless business tactics and captivating charm.

He step out of his sleek white car, his tall, lean frame radiating confidence. His piercing blue eyes seems to bore into my soul as he gaze at me.

His dark hair was perfectly styled. He dress in a tailored blue suit that hugged his broad shoulders, complete with sparkling black shoes that gleam in the sunlight.

"Wow!" I felt my breath catch in my throat as i take in the sight of him.

"You are perfect for the job." He said, staring into my eyes. His deep voice sending shivers down my spine.

I blink, taken aback by his words. "Sorry?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"You will be my fiancé for one month, and in return, I'll fulfill your deepest desires. Name it, anything and it will be yours." He replied bluntly. His voice low.

My heart skip a beat as i stare at him.

I stare at the two bouncers glaring at me with a hard face behind Caleb back. Their eyes were cold and unyielding.

My gaze fall back to Caleb."I...I don't seem to follow," I stuttered.

He walks closer, my heart pound as he take a step closer to me.

He extend a black business card towards me. "Here's my card," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I'm sure you will need my help soon enough. Give me a call. You have three days to think about my proposal."

I gently take the card from him, my fingers brushing against his. The touch sent a shiver down my spine as i stare at him, dumbfounded.

"Parker, take her home safely." He ordered, his eyes never leaving mine.

I couldn't even resist the offer. I watch him turn and strode into his car. The sleek white car disappear into the distance.

" This way." Parker growled, his deep voice jolting me back to reality.

I follow him to a sleek black car park nearby, parker open the door, gesturing me to get in. I slid into the cool leather seat, as the door close behind me with a soft thud.

The drive home was a blur, i can't believe what's happening to me. Firstly, i had died, only to wake up to seven years in the past. And now, a powerful mafia boss is offering me a deal.
