[The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] ********** She spent twenty-four years preserving herself for one man-only for him to choose her best friend instead. Tomorrow, they would vow eternity to each other, while she remained nothing but a spectator to a love she had longed for. Desperate, she devised a plan, one final chance to make him hers. A single drop of aphrodisiac, a carefully orchestrated encounter-she would take what was meant to be hers. But fate had other plans. In the darkness of her deceit, she fell into the arms of the wrong man. A ruthless, merciless, and identical in every way except for the shadows that clung to him like a second skin. Her trickery had backfired, and now, she was at the mercy of a man whose hunger knew no bounds. He devoured her, claimed her, and became intoxicated by her taste, scent, and the desperate, helpless moans she never intended for him. She had set a trap, but it was she who had been ensnared. In her desperation, she had tasted her own poison. And he had found a new obsession. *********************************** Started: March 22, 2025 Ended: April 21, 2025 Revised: August 2, 2025

To forget the pain, the betrayal, this sadness na parang unti-unti nakong pinapatay. "Don't do anything stupid Stellar," Narinig ko ang boses nya. Mapait akong natawa habang kumukuha ng isang bote ng alak. "Wag kang gagawa ng bagay na pagsisisihan mo. I owned you, don't forget that." May bantang sabi nyang muli mula sa earpiece na suot ko.

Binuksan ko ang isa pang bote ng alak pagkatapos kong maubos ang dalawang bote. I turned my head then I finally saw him --- My target.. Who would have thought that he will be this dangerously handsome in person? Such a waste to be a target.. Tiningnan niya ako, no, kanina pa talaga sya nakatitig lang sa'kin hanggang sa wakas ay nag pasya na itong lumapit habang hawak ang basong may alak sa isang kamay nya.
