Chapter 1 The Genesis

I continued to live in such Hypocrisy, trying to fit in and co-exist in both lifestyles: Normal society and My monstrosity Lifestyle.

Days come and go, but I don't think "Days" have the same length, or it's only in our minds, while in reality there's no such thing as time. Days being days, they will last a minute when you are happy and comfortable, and also last a century when you are in pain and agony.

It was a very hard situation to be in while in Love with someone, a serious relationship with marriage coming soon. It felt like gasping for air at the bottom of the ocean, I had to wake up in the night, watch myself turning into the Arachne-like Monster completely helpless .

Day by day, I couldn't stop thinking about what could happen to him, what if I lost control of, or what could happen if he found out that I was that Dangerous. Will he give a damn about love thingy, Or he will just dump me?

I knew it was like hiding in plain sight or in the field of cabbages, that eventually, I was going to get caught. My perfect disguise didn't last long though. All was about to change and be revealed to every unaided eye.

But how did I get here in the first place? What kind of "human monster" to begin with?

Our anecdote actually begins long before the incident of the Transformation, many eons ago.

It was Sunday evening, on Christmas eve, a clear and clean night. The Stars came earlier that day. Twinkling up above the sky, they resembled the sparkles of the fireworks, more like salt sprinkled over a large bluish shade of a black table. The wind was howling outside. Birds were tweeting outside, calling their unique songs as it was being late.

Outside, I was sitting on the balcony, my hands on both cheeks, watching the stars. It was amazingly spectacular. I surely knew what was going on inside the living room as preparation for Christmas. I'm quite antisocial naturally. It never excites me to be with people a lot, even if It's family members I'm just that Extremely Introvert. Family members, especially uncles who team up with a mother to ask you why you are always pressing your phone, and grandparents who never stop asking when you are going to get married!

Meanwhile, everyone was very excited and busy setting up the Christmas tree. My Uncle Ben and other close relatives came to the party. The real engender that I wasn't interested in partying was just because the previous Friday the week before was my first day in advanced secondary school.

They built our education system in such a way that we have classes in December and January, except for the holidays. Deep down, I wasn't feeling like partying because it didn't go well back to school. I'm not going to tell you what was the matter though! So whatever you're guessing, it's wrong! but don't worry, we'll get it on!

"Hey! Come back Here. Bring back that star," shouted a girl inside the house. It was my sister Cory. She was chasing Billy, our dog, who store her star for the Christmas tree.

Billy rushed toward my chair and sat down in front of me. While he was panting, the Star fell off his teeth, and it nearly fell down the balcony, but I caught it.

"Oh! Here!" I handed the Christmas star to Cory, and she went back inside winking at me. Billy was climbing my chair, and I was petting his head and rubbing his tummy.

Oh! Actually, I'm the firstborn in our family of five. We're 3 children and parents (Two parents of course) I'm the only boy, Cory is the second, 17 years old and Britney is our last born, she's 3 years old.

Cory is so beautiful. Well, frankly you can't see it if your sister was ugly, but Taylor is remarkably Beautiful, so obvious that even the blind can see it! She's brown with blonde hair. She is a kind of talkative girl and I love it so much. She loves me too. Cory likes our dog Billy, who is a Husky breed. And Britney, despite the fact that she likes candy so much, she's just a 3 years old kid.

My parents are both paramedics and sometimes they work full time at the hospital, so most of the time I'm the one to look after my siblings. When it's the holidays, I'm the one who drives mummy to the hospital where she sometimes works her weekend shift. Otherwise, she will take a taxi.

Mum has a driving license, but she doesn't enjoy driving though! Just because she once crashed through the gates and since then she's nervous.

Daddy and mom used to work the same shift at District's Hospital, but nowadays Dad moved to the other hospital, so they don't go together anymore.

Daddy is here, of course. How can a family celebrate Christmas without 'a Dad'?

"Dave honey! Come inside, it's dinnertime." It was my mum calling me.

Well, I have to admit, I hate it when she's calling me that name "Honey" like I'm Britney! I feel kind of underrated because she never understands how grown-up I am. I'm 20 years old but she'll treat me like little Britney who's 3 years old.

Billy jumped out of my chair, and I stood up and headed to the dining room. Raising my head, I suddenly stopped and froze for a while. Pupils dilated and my jaws dropped for a bit.

In my mind, I was raising my hands towards the cheeks and gasping like that kid named Kevin from the movie Home Alone or Deadpool! This happened in a fraction of a second, so I quickly pretended like nothing happened before anyone realized it. There was This dark-brown beautiful girl sitting parallel to the empty seat reserved for me. It was Taylor.

Is that so? Oh yeah, I'm glad you asked. I will tell you what's so special about her.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
