EPILOGUE !The Christmas ball was soon beginning and I’d be expected to be beside my father as we were the hosts. The ball room was the former basement which had been renovated into a ball room. It was first my mother’s hideout but now it was a ball room. I didn’t want the memory of Hannah to dampen my mood today.I stand at my balcony with the glass of champagne I’d grabbed downstairs before coming up, watching other people from above. Maybe I wasn’t really watching them, I was more of looking for someone, Kayla.It’s been hours already and she wasn’t coming. I’d gone in to the theatre room several times to check on her.Okay fine, I meant to spy on her, but her blinds were down and I couldn’t see inside her room. This year, I had a reason to buy her a gown. The previous years I just had to watch Jonathan buy her gowns as gifts but this year I told him to not buy her gowns and that I’d give her a gown for the ball. A knock comes at my door and I go to open it. It’s Martha. “Youn

Chapter Hundred and oneHunter’S POV.I throw my phone against the wall in my fit of anger. I felt powerless. I was Hunter King. I wasn’t supposed to feel powerless but I did.I called Kayla and asked her if we could talk about everything that happened but she just said she needed some space to process everything by herself.By herself.Which meant I had to stay away. She doesn’t know this but, I needed her to breathe to survive. I almost went berserk when I was told she wasn’t pregnant.

If she left me this time, I don’t even know if I can survive.My house bell dings and I run downstairs like a giddy teenage guy. Fuck, but i

Chapter HundredHow long has it been since I got out of my room and lived? How long has it been since I came back from my coma and shunned everyone out and locked myself up, depressed and crying for the child I never had?I don’t know. Janel, Xander and Asher came to see me at the hospital but apparently they have a grudge with Hunter so they haven’t been to the house since then. Aunt grounded me when she heard about the false pregnancy and gave me the whole responsible sex talk. After that, I was taken to the hospital and placed on birth control.Hunter must be having it worse than me. He found out about his mom and the child. For Hunter to resort to violence when adults were around and ruin his golden boy image, he must be taking the news harder than I was. I should go and see him and stop telling him I needed space to process everything. What’s there to process again? We were both not okay and needed each other. Everything is finally over. No more secrets. Nothing. The least I can

Chapter Ninety EightA screen lights up and a video begins to play. It’s a recording of my father and a lady talking. He seems to be hiding the camera from the lady, so I don’t get to see her face.“Do you regret what we did?” the lady asks my father. Her voice is disturbingly familiar.“I don’t know. Do you?” My father replies.“Of course not, that bitch had it coming after she betrayed me. She pretended to be my friend and used me. I took her out of the trash and gave her a life. How does she repay me? By trying to take Jonathan away from me. She knew he was mine from the beginning but she steal dug her filthy claws into him. She deserved a more miserable death.”“I agree, although Rosa interfered and took the girl so she’s still alive.”“Fucking Rosa. I took them both out of their wretched lives and this is how they repay me. I was wondering when you were going to tell me you were incompetent and that you let Kayla live.”“I didn’t know you had it in you to murder a child, Hannah.”

Chapter Nintey SevenMEETING MY FATHERI grab my hair on my head and refused to cry, instead I gnash my teeth with anger. I was not a victim. I was no longer the girl he kept locked down in the basement as he hit her mother upstairs. I could now defend my loved ones. I won’t let them be like mom. I won’t let him hurt anyone any longer.I couldn’t protect mom from him then, but now I can protect Hunter and Aunt from him.This time round, I won’t let harm come to anyone I can protect. And if all I have to do to prevent that is to face that devil, then so be it.Car lights catch the corner of my eyes, the gate opens to let him in. At first, I think its Hunter, but then I notice it’s not his car. It’s not my father too because he wouldn’t dare come in. He’d be dead by now not driving towards the worker’s quarters. It’s my opening to get out without being caught. I recognize the driver. He was part of the workers in the garden this morning. He drives into the mansion and towards the wor

Chapter Five - The Deal“Anything.” I say it again because he needs to hear conviction, even if my voice cracks on the word.He studies me for a long moment. The forest is dead silent except for my own ragged breathing and the drip of coffee still sliding down his collarbone. I can smell it — caramel and burnt espresso mixed with something warmer underneath, something that's just him.“Turn around.”My stomach drops. “What?”“You heard me.”I turn slowly, my back now pressed to the same tree that had my front a second ago. He's still got my wrist loosely in his grip, like he knows I won't run again. He's right. I won't. I can't.He steps closer, and in the moonlight I can see the mess I made of him — coffee soaked into the white of his shirt, dark and spreading, ice melting down toward his waistband. My cheeks burn just looking at it.“You made this mess.” His voice is low, almost bored, like we're discussing the weather and not whatever is about to happen. “Clean it up.”“Excuse me?”

Chapter Four - The clownGod, please, just let the earth open and swallow me whole. I shut my eyes tight, waiting for him to literally troll me to death, but it doesn’t come. Instead, the car comes to a stop.I open an eye to peek. We are at a cafe.“Get down.”“Huh ?” I stare wide-eyed in confusion.He doesn’t respond, just opens his door and steps out. What is the problem now?“Where are you going ?”“To get us something to eat. Come on.”“I’d eat at home. I don’t trust food places that are unfamiliar. I scrunch my nose at the simple eatery.“Have you had anything to eat all day?" he asked.“I had an apple for breakfast.” I shrug.“Yhhh Exactly.” He shakes his head.I was starving, yes, but this place was still too close to familiar grounds. Someone might spot us together. I stepped out of the vehicle and followed behind, surveying our surroundings.I was so upset earlier that I had completely forgotten about food, but the hunger was coming back in full force. My stomach grumbled a

Chapter Three – Are you Scared of me ?“Who the fuck are you?” The man whom Zane had just tossed aside says, annoyed that he was being completely ignored.“Stay out of our business, school boy.” The injured man adds. Zane turns to look at them. Their faces changed immediately they recognised him.“Ah, Mr Volkov, it's you. Forgive us, this East Rivers girl was talking trash about your team. We were just teaching her a little lesson. We support the West Rivers Titans, you know.” One of them quickly begins to lie through his teeth.“Yes, yes. We do.” the others join in like baby ducklings.What a bunch of cowards.“Really ?” Zane asks. His tone gave nothing away. I can’t tell if he believes them or is being sarcastic.“Yes, of course, man. Exactly. You know how those East Rivers folks are. They walk around like they're royalty. They think they're better than us. We had to –”“They’re lying.” I cut him off, tired of his blatant lies already."Did I ask you?" Zane turn towards me. My mout

Chapter Two - Snot faceI go to the parking lot and get into my car. At this point, my eyes are red, and my vision is blurry. I slam my fists into the wheel and scream into the car.Maddox and Rita. How could they do this to me? I accepted Rita into the cheer team because she had the skills. She was a great performer and very enthusiastic about cheerleading, which was the right spirit for the team. That two faced twat! I had been open and welcoming to her, treating her like an equal. Yet she had lied to my face and gotten with my boyfriend. MaddoxHow could he do that to me? We’ve been together for so long. My heart hurt, and my breathing turned shallow. I felt like I was suffocating.The tears suddenly begin to flow. I swat them away angrily. I don’t want to cry because of them. But just then, someone passes by. She sees me and immediately lifts her phone to record. Jesus Christ, a girl can’t even be heartbroken and cry in her car?I quickly start the car and drive off campus. I had

Chapter One – Ava PrescottSmack!I watch as one of my teammates slaps the new girl, Rita, in her face so hard her neck twists unnaturally to the other direction. My fingers shake a little as I pretend to be uninterested and scroll on my phone. My perfectly manicured fingers tapped away at the screen. I didn’t want to get involved.“How dare a nobody scholarship trash like you try to flirt with the cheer captain’s boyfriend ?” My vice captain and bff, Ashley Hall, demands from Rita.“I didn’t flirt with him, please, Ava, I swear,” Rita says, looking at me, her lips quivering and her eyes looking at me pleadingly.“We accepted you into the team and made you one of us. A ‘scholarship nobody’ like you. We treated you equally. We made sure you were untouchable in this school. You’d have been a doormat if not for the uniform you’re wearing.” Ashley says, backing Rita into the lockers and out of my view.“Ava, please. I’m sorry. I would never betray you. Trust me.” She pleads, knowing that
