prologue

"Oh well, if it isn't my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, Victoria Higgins." The devil's queen has arrived. As expected. "Throwing a little farewell party, hahaha, pathetic little dolly, you are?" And there I saw, James on the front door. Walking closer to Alyssa's scene. "Oh look! My boyfriend which was yours before has finally arrived! Gimme a kiss, baby!" James kissed Alyssa's lips right in front of me and Alyssa's alibis threw their drinks at me. "Hey watch it!" Anne said while I try to stop her from murdering the devil's masterpiece in my house.

Let's see, I've always wanted to go to the ---- "She's going to the Philippines!" Philippines. Just what I had in mind. Hospitable people and my relatives are there. "I was thinking more of you know-- Paris, but Philippines is great! Book a flight already!" Francine said while handing me my phone. "You know what? Philippines, here I come!"
