Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Ethan's expression darkened instantly. His face was tinged with anger. "Evelyn, it's not what you think. There's nothing between Vivian and me."

"Nothing?" I scoffed sarcastically. "Then why did you bring her here today? And really, Ethan? Saying she was your 'friend.' Do you really think I'm that stupid?" "Listen to me, let me explain," he pleaded. He reached out to grab my arm, but I quickly pulled away.

I fought to keep the tears at bay. I glared at him with all the strength I could muster. "Ethan, in this life and the last, I've finally come to see you for who you truly are.

"You've always been like this. You weave one lie after another to deceive me. And what about me? I was a fool, believing you over and over, forgiving you, tolerating your excuses.

"In the end, I was nothing more than a toy for you to kill time, a distraction from your loneliness. You'll never truly care for me because, to you, I'm nothing compared to those rich ladies born with a silver spoon in their mouths!"

Tears flooded my eyes, and I could no longer hold back my emotions. All the resentment, all the injustice I had been carrying inside me, poured out as I cried uncontrollably.

"Enough!" Ethan exclaimed and pulled me into his arms.

I struggled, but his strength overpowered me. In desperation, I gathered my strength. Using the momentum of his pull, I elbowed him hard in the mouth.

This jerk was wasting my time in this life and the past.

I watched as blood dripped from his nose. The bitterness inside me melted away and was replaced by a pang of regret. He was, after all, someone I had once loved.
