Chapter 1 - DEJA VU

A Room full of darkness with loud music surrounding people, a glass of wine in her hand, her eyes fixed on a  photograph before her. In the picture, a younger version of herself smiled, a stark contrast to the intense emotions that currently swirled within her.

The memories of the past never failed to ignite a fire within her. She had been that silent kid, the introvert who always slipped through the cracks, unseen and unnoticed. But tonight, something was different. As she took a sip of the rich, crimson wine, she couldn't shake the feeling that fate had something unexpected coming. 

Resting her head back on the sofa and closing her eyes, she kept the picture on the table as her hands brushed past her hair a deep sigh as she took the bottle of alcohol in hand took a sip and walked towards the door it

Suddenly clicked open as she stepped back trying not to fall looking at the direction of the person standing made her heart stop as she walked forward to close the door stumbling on her own and colliding with the person in front of her falling on him as they stared into each other soul her breath hitched as she just prayed not to get recognized by him as he muttered in a low voice 

???- "VIOLET"?

her face tried it's best not to show any emotion  getting up she slowly walked out of the room as a few murmurs caught his attention as he got up, his eyes were fixed on the girl who just exited the room 

???- Sebastian are you alright?

Sebastian, on the other hand, was trying to recall the violet of the past he remembered her fragile look with innocence and quietness hanging with she hated alcohol and always minded her own stuff, but the girl he met had a cold appearance with black attire and a bottle of alcohol in her hand with dark orbs . brushing his thoughts off he started to enjoy himself with his friends.

Whereas :

Violet came out of there sitting in her car thinking about the incident happened 

Violet-

" I Regret every moment of my life after I ran into you SEBASTIAN MORAL"

A handsome face, wrapped in arrogance, he was the bully who had made her life a living hell during those formative years. His laughter, along with his posse, had often echoed in the hallways of their University, tormenting her and shattering her self-esteem and her heart.

Tonight, the air seemed charged with a different energy, an undercurrent of suspense. Her face showed anger and hate of betrayal, As she left from there driving at full speed and disappearing in the darkness of night.

The sound of shattering glass drew the attention of the entire room, including Sebastian, who was quite drunk mumbling in a drunk state.

"Violet-t are you the same person-n?"

. In a twist of fate, it felt like Deja Vu recalling the memories from when everything in Violet's life turned upside down .

5 YEARS AGO~

Violet rushed to gather her belongings as she was late for her class accidentally breaking off the glass bottle, a sigh escaped her mouth cursing herself as she turned back after picking up her broken bottle ready to run only to collide into a well-built, muscled chest falling on top of him, her hands trembling cause of sudden action as she looks up to face the person her breath hitched the moment her eye caught sight of handsome billionaire heartthrob looking at her 

"eye to eye staring into each other soul's heartbeats were beating fastly "

Their eyes locked, and time seemed to stand still. In that moment of unexpected closeness, something shifted within both of them. Violet felt a strange mixture of vulnerability and curiosity, her heart beating in a way she hadn't felt in years.

Sebastian,  too, was taken aback by the unexpected collision. For the first time in a long while, he saw Violet, 

As they untangled themselves from the floor, a romantic tension hung in the air, mingling. Little did they know that this chance encounter would set in motion a series of events that would change their lives forever. 

Violet apologized  in a low voice and left quickly from his sight not even turning back to glance at him not knowing  as she was already late for class whereas  Sebastian got up only to hear laughs and jokes about him from his rich friends 

???- WTF Sebastian the nerdy creep was on you 

???-True! The heartthrob is rejected by nerd

laugh escaped his mouth making others laugh too as he didn't know what to say anger rushed over him as he scoffed determined to make the girl's life miserable, he felt insulted in front of others after all he was the one every girl's ever wanted and the girl just left like that not even glancing back at him as he clenched his fist trying himself to not punch the groupmate as he walked out of there  ask few of his members to find about that girl and

"In the dimly lit, smoke-filled room, the tension was palpable as the mafia queen, who had long buried her past, locked eyes with her old lover, now her most bitter enemy. The air crackled with unresolved passion and betrayal. They had once shared a forbidden love, but now their paths had diverged into darkness and vengeance. In that electrifying moment, neither spoke a word, but the unspoken question hung heavy in the air: Would their past love ignite a fiery reconciliation, or would it fuel the flames of an all-consuming vendetta that would leave no room for mercy?"
