As I stepped forward, I fisted my shaking fingers. The sound of applause echoed, but in my head, it felt like taunts. I trembled as the spotlight found me; whispers filled the room, always doubting my capabilities. As I reached the stage, my grandfather gave me his reassuring smile, as always. I touched his feet out of respect, then turned towards the people of this company, looking at me with hope. I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I remembered the emptiness in our lives. The voices in my head returned, reminding me why I didn't deserve this. I shouldn't be here, before everyone I had caused harm to. But here I was, standing before them, promising to provide the future and everything they deserved, which had been destroyed because of me. My lips trembled before I tried to speak. Then, I found him in the crowd - the man who lived to defeat me. His eyes were challenging, looking straight into mine, fading every other voice. Something changed; my fingers held the microphone with newfound confidence. I took a deep breath, looked at the crowd, and started my speech. "This is the story of an unfortunate, unnoticed, yet requisite love."

I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life.
