Once In Loved, Now Taking RevengeChapter 1: Shattered Lies, Broken Career

“Fuck you, Sir Lorde. You ruined me.”

The man who took my virginity. Tears blurred my vision as I stared down at the dark stain on my skirt. Blood. It had already dried, but I could still feel the pain, the violation, the disgust crawling under my skin.

My singer career debut night should have been the happiest moment of my life. Instead, it became my worst nightmare. I let out a broken laugh, my voice shaking as I whispered his name, hating how easily it slipped from my lips. The producer who had promised to make me a star. The same man who had stolen everything from me.

My phone suddenly vibrated, snapping me back to reality. I glanced at the screen—Kate. My best friend. For a brief moment, I hesitated. Should I tell her? Should I finally let everything out? My fingers reached for the phone, but before I could grab it, it slipped from my grasp, landing somewhere on the passenger seat.

“Damn it.” I blindly reached for it, my focus drifting from the road. And that was my mistake.
