CHAPTER 2“Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on?” he asked in disbelief as his voice shook and Genevieve, who was shocked to see him at first, gave him a look before she got down from the bed and took her time to wear a robe while he waited silently for her to say something.“Why? Did seven years in jail ruin your eyesight and now you can’t see things clearly?” his wife finally asked him, her voice cold and distant and Berlin stared at her in shock. She was completely different from the Genevieve he knew and it hurt to know that she wasn’t planning to apologize for cheating on him.“How could you do this to me? I went to jail for you for seven years and you cheated on me with my best friend? For how long has this been going on?” he asked a series of questions and Genevieve smirked before she walked closer to him and looked him blankly in the eyes.“First, what do you mean by doing this to you? You really didn’t think I would stay celibate for seven years and wait for you righ

CHAPTER 4A suspenseful silence filled the air again and Berlin was so close to losing his temper as he stared at the man who was once his father-in-law with so much sizzling hatred.Mr. Rhodes snapped his finger for his secretary to come closer and the young man obeyed immediately. Berlin watched his former father-in-law whisper something in the secretary’s ear and immediately, the secretary scampered off to the second floor.More silence followed as Mr. Rhodes lit another cigarette and began to smoke and Berlin felt like he was on the last thread of his patience. It felt like the old man was teasing his patience because he knew he could do nothing and at a point, he considered punching him right in the face just to make himself feel better.The secretary finally came down the stairs and returned to the living room with a huge black bag in hand this time and when he dropped it with a loud thump on the table that stood between Berlin and his former father-in-law, it was obvious that i

CHAPTER 6Berlin was walking on the street now, he just had his coffee and he decided to walk a little to get to a cheap motel where he could rest until morning.The caffeine was kicking in, and his chest felt lighter. Although he was aware that there was not a thing in this world that could take away all his pain and suffering from the last seven years and today especially, he was glad that at least the pain did not take a toll on him that much and he could still feel his head.The street was busy and many people walked to and fro with their heads bent and their eyes glued to their phones. Berlin always knew the streets of New York to be busy, so that was not a new thing to him.He held his head up high as he walked amongst them while clutching onto his phone which was basically the only thing he owned now, along with a couple of dollars that wouldn't help him for too long because it was not enough.He did not own any clothing at all and he could tell that it would be a great problem

CHAPTER 8Three minutes of Intense punches being thrown from both men had passed and Berlin was beginning to get the hang of it as he was starting to punch this man, whatever his intention was, harder.He wrapped his hand tight around his attacker’s neck with the plan to choke him and make him unconscious since he was curious and wanted to know who could have sent him to kill him. So he planned to knock him out, tie him up, and ask questions when he woke up.Berlin had his suspicions though, he had a feeling that Rhodes might have something to do with what was going on but just to be sure, he wanted to hear who would do such a thing directly from the man’s mouth before making any conclusion.As they both struggled for dominance, he tried to convince himself that his former father-in-law couldn't be involved. The old man wasn't a coward because if he wanted someone dead, he always made sure to be directly involved in killing the person just so his victim would know he was the one who w

CHAPTER 10It had been two weeks since Berlin’s encounter with Linda. To say it was a rollercoaster would be an understatement but with time, he got to accept his new fate and now, he was cool with it.What took some time to get used to was the fact that she was a witch with actual magical powers but he soon got acquainted with that too and just as she predicted, he soon loosened up around her.The knowledge that he was dying in the next six months weighed him down at first because he never agreed to such a deal with Linda in the first place.He was dead when she found him so it was impossible but she claimed that he gave his consent before she brought him back to life and there was nothing she could do because the contract had been made… it was irreversible.He died once so knowing he would die in the next six months was something he could learn to live with. As long as he could finally get the revenge he desperately yearned for… that was all he needed to know he had lived a fulfille
