ANGER.

Is the only thing she was feeling at this moment. She look up at the people that she trusted and who only stabbed her in the back.

Her friends,

Her mentor,

Her so called mother figuer,

Her lover,

Her sister,

If she was not in pain, she would be laughing at herself at how pathetic and foolish she had been. She looked at her sister who was clutching her nails on Cedric's arm. He is- was her lover. Artemisia sacrificed eveything for them, for her.

"Why are..you doing this Violet?!" She shouted and wince as the fire get higher. Undortuately she didn't even have my wand with her.

Am I really going to here and like this?
I deserve it. She thought.

"Aww poor you, do you really think that I care about you?" She laugh and kiss Cedric's cheek. "Once you die, I will be the heiress of all the house you were heiress to! I will gain the fame and money!" She smirked and walked toward Artemisia. "I have a little secret to spill out for you." She whispered smugly.

"I was never your sister."

she turned around and wave a hand at me before leaving. She couldn't even move, only cry out of frustration. She was tied up in a basement that was now on fire.

They all fooled her.

Was she a toy for them? To be play with and then throw at the bin, no burn mostly.

"Artemisia!" I looked at the voice.

Archer.

She found herself crying more. What is he doing here? He will get hurt!

He ran toward her and untied her. "What are you doing here..we will both die! Magic is block here!" She look at him, his emerald green eyes filled with tender and pain. "I can't let you here or let alone die." She bit my lip, blood start to come out.

"Get out now!" He stay unfaze as the fire start getting higher and higher. She need to make him leave.

"Do you think that if you save me, I will love you? Stop dreaming because I wont!" She knew her words were harsh but he couldn't die like this, die for her! He just couldn't.

"Sia, I told you before and I will tell you now. I love you forever and unconditionally. No matter what you said it will never change my feeling for you." He said firmly pulling her closer to him.

The man who she loved wanted her dead, used her and even dare to cheated on her with that bitch who she don't even know whose daughter she is! while the one who she rejected and hated was willing to die for her. If only she could slap my past self.

Artemisia ignored him, her fiance Archer Greengrass and was harshed to him. Archer was know to be ruthless and violent yet he iwas the one who rushed to save her.

She looked up and saw some of the wood falling down. "Archer watch out!" She shouted desperately but the furniture already fell on his shoulder. "Sia." He muttered.

"Don't cry now. I will still haunt you even in the after life. You will never get rid of me." He chuckle but she did not see anything funny to be laughing about!

If I was given a second change, I would choose you Archer.

"You! With all the power and money you have, you can get any girls so leave Ary Alone!" A familiar voice said.

"Why did you even choose her? Stop forcing her!" Huh? Artemisia hold her forehead and look up.

Cedric? That bastard!

Archer is not dead? I am alive?! What is going on? She thought confusely.

"Ary, why are you dazing off!?" Cedric shouted at her. Now she remember, she was forced to live at Archer's Manor and Cedric tricked her to leave Archer and come living with him.

I really came back then?

"It's your choice." She look up at Archer.

"He is alive. He did not die by my fault." She thought and covered her mouth trying to not cry.

"Do you want to leave with him or stay with me?" He look at her with those green eyes fill with tenderness.

How did not she notice this before?

He asked her the same thing in the past but she was blind by Cedric's so called love and left Archer to his own misery.

But not today.

"Sia, why are you not saying anything? I will ask again. Do you want to leave with him or stay with me?" He repeated softly.

"Why would she stay with you hm?" Cedric say smugly like an idiot.

"I will stay with you." she said firmly.

"What!?" Cedric shouted.

"You.." Archer look at her speechlessly. "Will you really stay?" He ask gently and she nod.

"I will." She smile.

"Is he forcing you!?" Cedric yank her hand roughly." You love me remember? He is nothing more than a Death Eater! He is using you to kill you after!" Artemisia glare at him angryly.

Damn bastard.

"Leave!" She slapped him which had him stepping back in shock. He hold his cheek. "I will ask you again. Are you coming with me?" He asked again.

"Why would I? Archer is much more handsome and richer than you. I will be blind to him and leave with you." She smirked and stand next to Archer who still watching the scene. His aura was very dominating.

"Take him out." He said coldly and two house-elfs suddenly appeared and teleported Cedric away. "You regret this!" Cedric warned.

"Oh Cedric, you are the one who will pay for what you did to me in my previous life." She thought.

She glanced at Archer as he sit on the couch, he place his hand on his cheek position himself.

"Come." I slowly make my way to him. She gasp as Archer grabbed her waist making her sit on his lap.

"You are mine." He muttered possessively. "I will never let you go." Artemisia looked at him and cupped his cheeks. "I won't leave. Can we restart?" She said with a small smile.

She knew one thing. She need to gain Archer's trust so that he won't believe that she will try to escape.

Archer looked at her surprise. "Okay." He muttered, Artemisia quickly kissed his cheek and ran upstairs. "I will be upstairs!" She said before leaving.

"Did she just kissed me?"

"Do you think that someone can change over minutes?" Archer said to the man that was hiding in the shadow. "I surprise myself but She seem different yet the same." The man said with a small smile at his old friend.

"How much long do you think that she will keep this act?" Archer said coldly.

"Don't you trust her?" The man asked.

"She have been here for 5 months, 3 three weeks, 11 days and 8 hours." He looked down and continue. "When have you ever seen her act like this? But even if she is acting and lying, I will always love her." He smile.

"Archer...!" The man who can be indentified as Mattheo Thomas Riddle looked at his friend. He knew how Archer was close off and barely showed emotion but woth Artemisia. Mattheo saw how much he love her. He just hope that she won't hurt him again.

"She is mine, no one will be allow to hurt her."
