****CRYSTAL'S POV****Walking out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my waist, I was humming a song with a smile. Madam Frost told me to get ready for tonight. She was taking me out for a banquet where she would introduce me to her group of friends as her daughter, also telling them to take good care of me in the future. She was planning to clear a path for me, trying to make it easier than it should ever be. I felt happiness from within me. It was difficult to keep my emotions in check since she'd told me about it a few days ago... "Wear this or wear that?" I contemplated, staring at the expensive dresses in the wardrobe, I wondered which of them would be better for the banquet. 'A white monkey in the dilapidated house down the village. Everyone knows its whereabouts except the owner. How sweet will their reunion be?How happy will the owner be?Oh, let's party tonight. A happy day it is."[A random song]I continued dancing as I stared at the dresses, runn

***XAVIER'S POV***I had only confirmed my relationship with Austin. We weren't even able to hold hands yet, and I had thought we could stay in love for a very long time. Although I was confused then. I had never for once questioned my sexual orientation, even when I realized I wasn't interested in any of the girls around me, but I wasn't interested in the men either. I thought I would only focus on studying, and maybe one day, I would find someone to make my heart beat. However, Austin came into the picture. I was celebrating my 20th birthday when Austin walked up to me and confessed to me about his love. I was very confused but felt enlightened at the same time- 'So, this was it? The reason I had never fallen in love with any girl was because I like men?' It was crazy, but that was the conclusion I came up with, and with curiosity and the urge to find out the truth about my sexual orientation, I accepted Austin's proposal, and we became lovers. He was older but was not in any wa

CRYSTAL'S POV Xavier held the man's picture, which was even framed, and was crying bitterly...My body trembled violently, and the tray in my hand fell, water splattering everywhere. A shard cut my leg, bringing out blood, but it didn't help in easing my mind at all. My eyes were fixed on Xavier, who was startled by the noise and stood up from his bed, turning around while hiding the picture behind him. His eyes narrowed when he saw me, and he frowned deeply. His beautiful set of eyes had turned red, and his face seemed a bit swollen as if he had been crying for a while. I swallowed and lowered my head. Without saying a word, I turned around and ran away.I couldn't stay. I couldn't continue watching the pained Xavier. I couldn't continue watching those pairs of red eyes and swollen face, which were a result of the murder I committed!I continued running and only stopped when I entered my room. My face was already smeared with the hot tears that poured uncontrollably, and my bod

CRYSTAL'S POV "Hello, everyone. This is Crystal Shawn. A new student in the department," A Professor who had taken it upon himself to lead me to the law department, which I chose, introduced me to the students. The students looked stunned for a moment, looking at me without saying a word until one of them stood up and smiled brightly at me, "Hello, Crystal. I'm Lyra, Nice to meet you," She greeted cheerfully. Her eyes were literally sparkling as she smiled at me. Feeling warmth from her response, I waved at her and smiled back at her, "Pleasure meeting you, Lyra,""Hi, Crystal. I'm Ben,""Hi, Crystal, I'm David,""I'm Sarah,""I'm Daniel,""I'm Kay,"Almost all the students introduced themselves with bright smiles on their faces, which for a minute stunned me as this wasn't the image I had in my head. These people were children of either politicians or business icons. They were innately spoiled and arrogant, but to think they would go through the pain of introducing themselves wit

CRYSTAL'S POV "Crystal, that's my son," Madam Frost said, walking forward, standing beside me as she pointed to her son, gesturing for him to get closer. "Xavier Frost, he's a year older," She added, smiling. My eyes flickered, a bad premonition brewing in my mind. "Oh... I'm Crystal Shawn," I introduced myself to Xavier, whose gaze was cold enough to freeze my entire being. He was just too scary. Xavier's expression changed drastically. He stormed closer and grabbed my hand, "Get out of this place!" He yelled, dragging me with him. "Have you lost your mind, Xavier? What the hell is wrong with you?" Madam Frost blocked the way, her eyes showing her anger. "You were the one who sent away our last cook, and you want to send her away, too? You don't have the right, Xavier!" She declared, moved forward, and slapped Xavier's hand away. "Don't mind him, Crystal. He's always that rude," Feeling troubled, I lowered my eyes a little and sucked in a deep breath, "It's okay," I replied, eve

CRYSTAL'S POV"Crystal!" "Crystal!!""Cry~stal Shawn!!!"My body shivered as I was startled awake by a yell into my ears. Opening my eyes, I took in the familiar face of the person who woke me up, feeling disgruntled. My head ached badly, and my eyes were a bit hazy. "Lyn? What's going on? What's with the..." My words stopped as my brain finally registered something strange. It wasn't very dark, making it easy for me to see that I wasn't in my room but a dilapidated building that had a scary feeling. "Why..." I mumbled and looked around the space, but my heart stopped the next moment, and a scream escaped my mouth. "Shut up," Lyn scolded, covering my mouth. "What are you doing?" Her eyes danced around, showing her nervousness, but she tried hard to keep her cool. I shook my head, holding her hand firmly while sweat formed on my forehead. "Lyn... Lyn... What... what is that? Isn't..." I closed my eyes, unable to continue looking at what was before me. It was scary...Too scary..
