⁰¹ PROLOGUE
MEG/LILY (FL)
Can't you stay a little longer? It's my birthday today, dad? 😔 (sad)
WILLIAM (FL's dad)
I can't. I still have clients to meet (says coldly)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(Watches him leaving with a heavy heart) 💭Why do you always leave immediately? You only come on my birthday but you won't even stay longer💭😔💔

LIAM (Meg's older brother)
(turns)
MEG/LILY (FL)
Ahahaha 😅 (faked a laugh)
_ Middle school graduation _
MEG/LILY (FL)
(stand up and eyes roam around to see if one of the family members attended but no came)
Teacher/s
(approaches her) Where are your parents? (whispers)
MEG/LILY (FL)
Teacher can you please pin the ribbon for me (forces a smile)
Teacher/s
Of course! (notice her sad eyes) Let's go up to the stage☺️
Unlike other stories, our heroine isn't mistreated but coldly treated.
Ignored & unloved by her own family, Meg sought for love & affection from other people only to be betrayed & heartbroken.
Drowning her pain in alcohol, she woke up with a man in a hotel.
In school, she was met w/ scornful eyes & contemptuous smile after photos of her with that man were posted on her class's group chat.
"I'll help you with the scandal," he said. "In return you'll have to do something for me."
Afraid of expulsion and the possibility of not be able to go to college, Meg ended up making a deal with the man who was supposed to help her with the legal matter of her current predicament.
Caring & protective, Meg end up falling in love with him. Not wanting to fall victim to one-sided relationship like her previous one, she kept her feelings hidden and determined herself to keep the end of the bargain.
Once the deal was over, she left for another city to begin a new life but fate has another plan.
⁰² New and unfamiliar
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
Young Miss, I came to take you back to the country
MEG/LILY (FL)
Mm (cold) When do we leave?
Lily Marguerite Petunia (FL)
- third and youngest child of William Petunia, the chairman of Petunia Co., one of the giant biotechnological and pharmaceutical firms in the country
- her family calls her Lily; and people outside her family, she's called Meg
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
Tomorrow. I'll tell the maids to pack your things
MEG/LILY (FL)
No need. I'll do it myself (leaves and head upstairs)
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
How is she for the past ten months? (asks Clara)
Clara
She was devastated. Gigi was like a mother to her (sigh)
Clara
I really don't understand our masters. Why take the only person away who showed the love, that they as parents, couldn't give (shakes her head)
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
(sigh again) I'll go check on her
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
(hand Clara a notebook) Please write all her favorites. Foods, drinks, color, her daily routines, pastime, her habit, everything!
Clara
(takes the notebook) No one knows her better than Gigi but I'll try my best and I'll ask the maids as well
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
Okay (leaves and headed to Meg's room)
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
This way young miss (gesture to where the car is)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(walk towards the car and got in)
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
(sits in the front seat then turn to Meg) It's a two-hour drive, young miss! If you're tired, you can take a nap
MEG/LILY (FL)
(slightly nods and put the headphone on)
Mrs. Hans whom she can't remember meeting when she was still in the country was sitting next to the driver and was constantly checking on her.
Meg a never spoke a word all throughout the journey. All the queries Mrs. Hans had was either responded by a nod or by a shaking head.
MR HANS (Butler of Petunia household)
(stand by the doorway) Young miss, welcome back! You must be hungry. I had the cook prepare some foods for you
MEG/LILY (FL)
No, thank you (says coldly) I'm tired. I want to take a rest
MR HANS (Butler of Petunia household)
Oh! Okay. Please lead miss Lily to her room (tells the maid)
Maid/s
Yes Mr Hans. This way young miss (gestures her hand)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(follow the maid)
MR HANS (Butler of Petunia household)
You must be tired. Take a rest first (tells his wife)
MRS HANS (headmaid of Petunia household)
Yup, I certainly do need plenty of rest (walks to their room)
Meg unpacked some of her things especially her personal stuffs. She grab a novel book and decided to read it on the terrace
MEG/LILY (FL)
(open the door to her room's terrace and saw the beautiful garden at the courtyard) 💭Wow! What a beautiful garden!💭
MEG/LILY (FL)
💭Mmmm! How about I explore around the courtyard?💭 (head downstairs with the book in her hand, then out to the courtyard)
⁰³ Shock and terror
On her way to the courtyard, she couldn't help but be amazed by the flowers, tall trees, and the well maintained thick bushes.
Coming back to the country has actually made her anxious. She wondered what would her life be in this new and unfamiliar place.
The beautiful plants and colorful flowers made her anxiety disappear. It calmed her and made her feel relax.
She thought this courtyard might be her refuge from her long tiring day. After almost thirty minutes of exploring, she sat on the bench and began reading.
MEG/LILY (FL)
(flips through the next page and suddenly felt something)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(stopped reading and look around as her guts was telling her that someone was watching her)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(shrugs) 💭They're probably just curious workers who never knew me since I left here when I was five y/o💭
MEG/LILY (FL)
(hears rustle of the leaves of the trees around her but continued reading)
MEG/LILY (FL)
(felt it again) 💭 Someone is definitely watching me💭 (closes the book)
Losing the concentration and the motivation to continue reading she decided to go back to the main house.
As she was about to exit the
courtyard a woman in her early
50's popped out of nowhere.
Madwoman
Lily!!! 😈 (exclaims menacingly)
MEG/LILY (FL)
🙀 (jumps up in surprise and the book she was holding flew up in the air and landed in front of the woman)
What happened next puts Meg in a state of shock and terror!!

Madwoman
(goes on top of her then wrap her hands around her neck)
Madwoman

Meg was dumbstruck with terror. She couldn't move. Her whole body seems to lost its strength. She opened her mouth to scream for help but for some reason her voice won't come out. It was as if she was in sleep paralysis.
Madwoman
You monster! 💢😡😠 You murderer!!!😡😠 (yells furiously while strangling Meg)
MEG/LILY (FL)
