Chapter 1 Welcome Home

After celebrating her 15th birthday, Leslie Monica's mother, Leticia or Letty Juarez, decided to return to their home country. It had been seven years, and Lemon was a little apprehensive doing so.

Even before they landed, she could already feel the anxiousness from all the adjustments she had to go through. She wasn't sure if she would be able to handle everything.

Lemon felt like she would soon be in an entirely different world. She was hoping she could cope but wasn't confident about that.

She knew she didn't have any reason to be worried. Mother and son, Dahlia and Kale, were both coming with them. But there was still something unsettled inside her.

Mikale, or Kale, when he transforms, is her pink friend, but he isn't a closet queen. Everyone knew his preference, and no one had a problem with that.

Lemon practically grew up with him. His mother, Aunt Dahlia, is Lemon's mother's executive assistant. They're always together, so the same goes for Mika and her.

They were the same age and went to the same school. Returning to their home country, they enrolled in the same school too. That was just how inseparable they were.

Anyone who looked at them could immediately tell that Kale was not as anxious as Lemon. He was confident their new classmates would accept him with arms wide open.

Lemon may not feel the same, but she was without a choice. She knew Letty wouldn't agree to leave her in France by herself.

"Lemon, what's up?" Kale asked, raising a brow at her. "I'm done packing! Don't tell me you're still nursing a hangover from your birthday celebration?!"

"Bête! I'd already packed my stuff three days ago! You're the one who just finished packing!"

"Fine! Fine!" he said, waving a hand at her.

Looking at her pink friend, Lemon confirmed he would get accepted with open arms. 'Who wouldn't love this gay?' she asked herself.

Although Kale annoys her most of the time, her pink friend does have a refreshing personality and could easily befriend anyone. Lemon even believed he could gather fans at Saint Mary's University.

After that short banter with her friend, Lemon stepped out of her room to check on Letty. She saw they were already busy packing their stuff as well.

Letty kept reminding the new manager of the fashion house of the same things she had already reminded her of days ago. She often does this, especially when double-checking stuff.

Letty wasn't really letting go of 18 Threads. She will only return its management to her sister and put up her own in Centro.

The shop belonged to her sister anyway. It was transferred to her when her sister got sick and couldn't handle it.

"What time is our flight, by the way?" she asked while her mom was scrambling with everything she needed to do.

"In two hours, fille," Letty responded without looking at Lemon, and her daughter's eyes widened in surprise.

'Two hours, as in? I thought we were leaving in two days!'

"Are you excited, Lem?" Dahlia asked.

"Of course not, Mamita. She's actually nervous!" Kale generously shared.

Letty suddenly stopped what she was doing to look at Lemon, her forehead creased. "Why is my daughter nervous?" She asked, but Lemon just shrugged and let out a sigh.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because it'll be a new environment. New people to try and get along with?" Lemon explained.

"Oh my, fille! You don't have to worry about anything. You're a lovely girl, and I'm sure they'll like you," she said sweetly, running a hand through her daughter's hair.

"Of course! Besides, I'm there with her!" Kale butted in.

Letty hugged her daughter and mouthed 'thank you' to Kale. If not for both mother and son, life would have been tough for her and Lemon.

A couple of hours passed, and they finally boarded the plane. It will be a 17-hour trip and will surely be exhausting.

"O-M-G, can you tell I'm excited?"

"It's not THAT obvious," she retorted, grinning at Kale.

"You need to stop being pessimistic about things, you know?"

Lemon smiled lazily at her friend. She may not want to admit it, but she was indeed pessimistic. In eight out of ten situations she was in, Lemon would always think of a negative outcome.

She couldn't help it if she got insecure.

After everything that had happened to her family, her sense of security hit rock bottom. She had a hard time coping with that.

Lemon grew up shy. If it weren't for Kale, she wouldn't know how to deal with people. So it was really all thanks to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Centro International Airport. The local time is 0800h, and the temperature is 29°C."

Her eyes suddenly flew open when she heard that announcement. 'There's really no going back now!'

They arrived on a Saturday. Just great! Because on Monday, they will attend their new school as incoming grade 9 students.

She was unsure how she would be able to deal with it. No matter how she tried to convince herself to calm down, she still couldn't relax.

Negative scenarios kept popping into her mind, and they kept bothering her. All these what-ifs bugged Lemon ever since Letty told her they were going back.

Another thing that worried her was seeing her father again. 'What if he shows up all of a sudden? How am I supposed to face him?'

All these kept playing inside her head, and Lemon was starting to lose focus. Hopefully, she will be able to settle down in a few days. Otherwise, she might end up going back to France.

Whether Letty would agree or disagree, she wouldn't care. If she needs to, Lemon will do everything to return.

She can just seek the help of Letty's younger sister, Ena. She will surely help her out. Even her mother's older brother, Rigo, can help her, especially if put in a tough spot.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
