Alicia's POV:
" Babe, who is she?" A wavy-haired girl asked while she clung to my fiance, Alexander.
I'm so confused. What does she mean by that? Why is she calling my fiance like that? Why doesn't he look bothered at all?
My head is aching from all this information. I quickly organized my thoughts and from the last energy left in me, I smiled nervously," Honey, what does she mean by that?" I reached for his left arm," Hmm, Babe? Is this a prank? Can you stop it now because it's not funny"
He groaned and brushed my hands off him " I didn't expect you to know it this way" He mumbled.
I don't want to make him mad, I'm scared he might leave me. I reached for his hand again," I'm sorry don't be angry"
" Argh! Stop it will you?" He shouted as he once again brushed my hands off him.
I choked up as I took a glance at the girl beside him. I noticed her sneer as she clasped onto Alex's arm," Our baby is scared", she said while glancing at me, not removing that sneer off her face.
Before I could speak, he sighed," Look, I'm cutting ties with you; I'm happy now; I'm going to marry Dahlia, and we're pregnant."
I kneeled grabbing his legs " Alex, you can't leave me! Don't do this to me!" I cried and begged.
They stared at me with full disgust. Dahlia shouted," Hey isn't it enough that you have all the richness now? I only have my baby and Alexander, so don't steal him from me!"
" My love, don't waste any energy on her," He said with an assuring voice as he caressed her hand and belly.
I can't believe I'm seeing this in front of me; I never thought that Alexander Authbert, the man of my dreams, my soon-to-be husband, my love, could do this to me.
I suddenly blurted out as my anger rose, " He was mine. First; you stole him from me!"
He kneeled, now facing me, he grabbed my chin," Oh my sweet"
looking at him very hopeful, still stopping myself from crying," Has your mouth always been this filthy?" He continued as he aggressively slapped me.
I'm now thrown into the ground, my heart breaks into pieces, and I can't believe I trusted him. I glanced at them. They're staring at me as if I'm a trash.
" Husband, just kill her, she's ruining my mood"
I couldn't move my body, I was scared, and I wanted to escape, Am I going to die?
He caressed my cheeks, " You know what, I adored you when we were young, you were this... cute, little innocent girl who had this spark in your eyes whenever you talked about our future" He chuckled," Isn't it weird? I think I grew tired of you, you're like this plain water lily, at first it was so pretty to the point that you want to protect it, you want it all by yourself, but it's too constricting-"
She scowled," In other words, you're like an old hag"
I'm overwhelmed with all these emotions, I came here to surprise him because in a few days we're going to get married. But, I didn't expect him to do this to me.
He sighed," You're so useless"
He stood up and held Dahlia's hand," My love, let's go"
A surge of energy came rushing in me, I stood up and grabbed his arm," Alex, wait--"
" AAAaaaaaaHhhh!!"
THUD! The last thing I knew was that I fell off the cliff. I fell into the exact spot in the forest where we used to play " pretend" when we were young.
I touched my head lightly and looked at my hand. Blood. I'm bleeding a lot. I start to shudder as I watch my blood drip down from my fingers. My head feels like it's imploding on itself. I can't help but pity myself as I watch Alex, the man whom I devoted 19 years of my life, lovingly comforts his other woman. As time goes by, I feel colder and colder. As I'm lying down on the grass with a puddle of my blood, I glanced at my forearm and I've noticed that my skin has gone pale. I tried to move my toes, and it seemed impossible; they became numb. Looking at my condition right now, I'm surprised that I've come this far. Once again, I looked at the two individuals who led me to my peril.
They frantically left, maybe they realised what they've done. Were they sorry? Did they regret doing this to me? Were they just in great panic? is that why they left? I don't know anymore, I don't even know if my questions will be answered one day, all I know is that this is my end.
My vision starts to blur out, I'm getting tired from fighting for a life that never mattered in the end. My eyelids start to feel a lot heavier.
Farewell.

In a Manor, somewhere in Europe, The walls are covered with polished wood, the ceiling is high, and a small and simple chandelier hanging in the center. The living room is bright because of the big window. Beside it, there's a warm and cozy fire place, and on each side of the fire place, there's a marble bookshelf filled with books about Astrology owned by the man of the house. Next to it, there's a long and curved staircase. And at the center of the living room, there's a couch, a beige and large couch, the softest and smoothest couch in all of Europe. Surrounding it, there are scattered pillows, brochures, and invitations for the upcoming ball hosted by the Royal family. And there lies a young lady sleeping soundly on the couch.
The maid rushed over her and gently tapped the young lady's shoulder," Ms. Alicia, wake up! The tailor has arrived in the manor."
Alicia sat up, still half-asleep, rubbed her eyes gently," Hmm?~"
" Mrs. Williams has arrived!" She squealed with delight.
" Huh? What do you mean?"
" Oh come on! You were looking for the ball for the last four months!"
" What?"
Alicia looked at her hands," I'm alive?" she mumbled. She glanced at her maid and gasped," Catherine, Am I alive?"
Catherine chuckled," My lady, Are you still half asleep? Of course you're alive, you're young and still have long years to live!"
Alicia still looked in shock, " I don't know what to say, how did all these happen, I'm alive? but how? Weren't I dead just few seconds ago?" She thought.
Catherine held her hand and made her come back to her senses," I think you're just excited, come on lets start the planning!"
