Mended by Destiny

Chapter One

Hanna was a cheerful girl. She was living her life the best she could, and she loved trying new things. Working as a journalist in a small company and living in a small apartment was an ideal life for her. Hanna wasn't afraid of accepting new challenges and she was not shy when it came to flirting and dating. Yes, the female liked getting attention and being loved. She has had her share of boyfriends and tried to date girls as well. That didn't mean that she was a player though. It was her, who was always hurt when her partners decided that they needed something more. Or in some cases someone less outgoing and more serious. It was always a painful experience and Hanna was disappointed, but she has always moved on. She'd like to think that she was a strong woman and wouldn't be broken by things like that. That's why she distracted herself and always got back on her feet. She thought that she was living quite a good life.

The female was happy now. She had a boyfriend for more than a year and he was perfect. He was always complimenting her and paying her a lot of attention – especially during nights. And she was also chosen as the employee of the year, so her life was definitely amazing. Almost too perfect. But Hanna didn't think about it. Why should she? She was just enjoying what she had. And that was a mistake, as she found out later.

It was a successful day at work, and she was walking down the street after getting a half of day off. Her lips were stretched into a smile and the sun was kissing her pale skin. Hanna loved this type of weather. Thinking about cooking something delicious, she stopped by the grocery store before she went home.

Entering her apartment, she knew that her boyfriend was somewhere there, and the thought made her smile. However, her smile froze on her face when she heard strange sounds coming from her bedroom. The closer she got, the clearer the sounds got, and Hanna realized that those were moans. She gulped and prayed that it was all coming from a naughty movie. She knew it was all just a wishful thinking though, because it sounded too real. Too clear.

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and gasped at the sight she witnessed. Her boyfriend was on top of a girl, moving his hips the way that made the female moan in ecstasy. Hanna knew that feeling very well. When the man spotted her, he cursed and pulled away from the girl. Yes, a girl. Not a woman. The girl got embarrassed instantly and covered her naked body with a blanket. Hanna's blanket, darn it! Hanna, on the other hand, didn't know how to breath properly. Her heart was breaking, she was angry, and her eyes couldn't stop watering. THIS was a heartbreak.

"A-ah, this is embarrassing. Is this... the sister you talked about?" the girl asked in an overly high-pitched voice, and Hanna was brought out of her daze.

"A sister?" she breathed out and clenched her fists.

That jerk dared to lie?!

"Y-yeah, that's her. Look, Sasha, go home and I'll call you later," the man said awkwardly, and the girl simply complied.

She dressed up quickly, apologized to Hanna, had the nerve to kiss her boyfriend's cheek and then left hurriedly.

"I... really don't know what to say, Hanna," the man said and didn't even care to dress up.

"You... fucking jerk!" Hanna shouted and slapped hard, surprising them both.

The man groaned and covered his reddened cheek. He wanted to say something, but Hanna decided to unleash her inner fighter and started throwing punches at him. However, the male was now prepared, and he was stronger and faster. He prevented her from hitting him and pushed her roughly to the bed.

"Stop! I will not hesitate to return the punch, damn it! You have annoyed me enough to do it for a long time now. So, don't tempt me, Hanna!" he screamed, making the female shiver since she has never seen him like that.
