Unfazed by his wooing, Lomesa vows never to fall into his trap only to become another of his toys. This is especially so after she comes experiences rebirth and finally has a clear grasp of how the world works. Despite all her repulsive moves, Kai Blackwood grows more intrigued as he continues making passes at her. The wooing farce continues and suddenly, it starts creating crevices in Lomesa's tightly shut windows of her heart. She finds herself warming up to him unexpectedly.

Amidst revenge and their sailing relationship, her Knight in shining armour helps her get revenge, and improve relationship-wise.

Chapter 1

"Argggggghhhhh!!!" in a villa in the suburbs, a blood cuddling scream could be heard . The sound and hoarseness of the voice screaming was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Lomesa, I came back with a piece of good news for you." Samantha, her best friend, suddenly made her way toward her haughtily. The sound of the clanking of her heels on the floor made the girl that was bound by chains to freeze in her spot and widen her eyes in anger. Right now, she couldn't talk since her tongue had been cut and could only make gurgling noises. Seeing this, schadenfreude and exhilaration flashed past Samantha's eyes. She liked seeing her in such a sorry state.

Samantha walked over and lifted her chin with her fingers. She was disgusted but could only endure it. She kept placating her restless heart that it would be over soon.

"Lomesa, guess what? I'm pregnant with Alvin's child." Samatha proudly revealed this piece of news and waited to see her heartbroken reaction. Lomesa's reaction was that of askance. It seemed as though she was asking why the two of them would do that to her.

"Are you asking why we did that?" Samantha's expression suddenly turned twisted and vicious.

"You are asking? Ha! Lomesa, do you think I've always been happy to be in your shadow whenever we were? In school, everyone thought that you were the most beautiful girl around, I couldn't take if and had to disfigure you, thinking that people wold hate you, who knew that you'd still attract a bunch of people? And Alvin, that guy was mine to begin with, but he just had to falk for you, tell me, what do you posses that I don't have? do you know what I did to him? I approached him as your friend then slowly began to poison his mind, but do you know, I was disappointed in the end? Ha! to think that he would still believe you after all that? So I had to come up with a more devious plan. I got someone to copy your handwriting and write a love letter of you confessing to the class representative in our class. I made sure Alvin came to your locker that day. Didn't you see that your relationship started getting strained after I framed you? Hahaha" Samantha gave a crazed laugh, as if she was so pleased with herself. Lomesa had never seen such a crazy Samantha so she was frightened and shrank back in fear. Samantha continued;

"After feeling betrayed, Alvin also chose to cheat back. And that's how he got together with me, Lomesa, we made you a cuckold since our third year in high school. Coincidentally, Alvin was also ambitious and just with a little push from me, his desire to snatch everything from you ignited. I just had to sit back and reap the benefits! On the wedding night, did you really believe that it was Alvin who slept with you?" Lomesa revealed a shocked expression after hearing this, she wanted to know what exactly Samantha meant .

"Hmph, let me tell you this, on that night, Alvin went and hired one of the gangsters in the neighbourhood. You were drugged with sleeping pills and so you couldn't differentiate who exactly slept with you. That night Alvin was warming my bed, we actually did it till the break of dawn, it was so.."

"Aargh.." Samantha was suddenly cut off by Lomesa's scream . Lomesa was going crazy from listening to all these vicious words from Samantha, she really wanted to tell her to stop but she couldn't so she chose to scream. Samantha on the hard, was displeased by Lomesa's scream so she walked over and slapped her across her face. The slap left a bloody hand print on Lomesa's tender face.

"Bitch, I'm not yet done, why are you shouting? " despite receiving the slap, her screams didn't stop, but Samantha also chose to talk to her whether she heard her or not.

"Actually, today Is your last day, do you see what I'm holding? it's a detonator. After I leave this building, I'll immediately stimulate the bombs and that's how you will vanish from our lives completely. Just don't disturb our lives. I want to live happily and marry Alvin now that I'm carrying his flesh." suddenly, Samantha's expression was filled with ruthlessness and ferocity as she said

"Go to hell Lomesa!" then she dashed downstairs.

After making sure that she was at a safe distance, she pressed the detonator and the building was immediately engulfed in flames. She smiled in satisfaction and after watching for sometime, she flicked her hands and left.

Lomesa, who was in the villa, glanced at the flames that had engulfed her and sighed in regret. She was so unwilling to die in vain.

"In the next lifetime, I'll make sure whoever made Mr this way suffers hundredfold. " She muttered inwardly, her gaze filled with hatred that could dig holes in someone.

Lomesa Steele was a 23 year old girl who was known to be exceptional in everything she did. At 23, she was already a big shot in Sea city. There was nothing that she couldn't do. Most importantly, she was the most beautiful girl in country Y. At the time of her death, she was married to Alvin, her boyfriend since high school. Who knew he was faking his love for her riches? She was too blind to notice this despite her high intelligence. Were it not for Samantha's words not long ago, she would have been kept in the dark for God knew how long. The people she treated with utmost sincerity were the ones who stabbed her in the back. The situation was glaringly ridiculous. She had no parents and had been raised in the orphanage by the the orphanage director who happened to be a lecturer at Imperial University in Country Y in the medical department. When she was free,the Director of the orphanage, Mrs Anastasia would teach her things that she taught in campus and since Lomesa was quick-witted, she would always grasp the concepts with much ease. Then she suddenly became a god doctor from the director's teaching and practice. Who knew all these things would go down the drain just because she made a poor judgement? Anyway, Lomesa was dead now.

At the rooftop of number one high school building.

"Someone wants to jump" a girl who saw this suddenly screamed at the top of her voice. She was making her way to the office when she happened to glance at the top of the building only to see someone preparing to jump down. The person on the rooftop was a girl and her back was so beautiful. She wondered why the girl wanted to jump off so she had no choice but to shout in order to help her out.

When the teachers heard the exclamation, they immediately rushed out and made for the rooftop. This commotion was also attracted the students from various classes who made their way to where the scene was since they were also curious. When they gathered around, they kept guessing who the girl on the rooftop was .The girl seemed to gave sensed their thoughts since it's at that time that she suddenly turned back to look at the crowd gathered around her. The moment she turned back, gasps and exclamations of a mixture of shock and astonishment were heard. Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted uncertainly

"Lomesa?!!!!"

"What?" Another person asked in disbelief.
