Beauty From Ashes
Natasha is a young girl who dreams of a better life beyond her middle-class struggles. She earns a scholarship to Delengade College, a world ruled by the powerful elites and feared by the subs. For her, it becomes a chance to rise above poverty and change her family’s fate.
But her quiet strength catches the attention of Peter Melton, heir to Delengade’s most powerful family. Every girl wants him, and when he starts to show interest in Natasha, it awakens a dangerous enemy– Sasha Bullock, the ruthless heiress who will stop at nothing to have Peter for herself.
Natasha begins to fight for her life. One brutal act of jealousy shatters her world. Betrayed by those she trusts most and the boy she loves, Natasha is left for dead.
Five years later, Natasha returns. No longer a naive scholarship girl, she becomes stronger, smarter, and deadlier, and she is ready to burn the world that destroyed her and to take revenge on every single person who had a hand in her death.
But what happens when love and hate blur and Natasha discovers the truth behind Peter’s betrayal?

Chapter: Chapter Fifty Five NATASHA'S POVThe next morning, I was so shocked to see Layla parked outside the house, waiting for me with a huge smile on her face.“Hey bestie.” She cooed, waving her hand at me as I walked towards her. I resisted the urge to laugh and settled for a scoff instead.I stopped in front of her, a frown crossing my features.“I'm surprised you remember where I live, Layla.” I said dryly. She grinned and pulled me into a hug.“Oh come on, don't be like that. It's only been a few days since we last spoke!” When she pulled away, she gave me an affectionate pat on the head, like I was her little puppy or something.“You're so adorable, honey. We've always been together since we met. That's why you're not used to this situation.” I frowned. Seriously? She rolled her eyes when I said nothing, and put the sunglasses she was holding back on.Sunglasses I hadn't really noticed before. I looked at her again, really looked at her.She looked…different. Her skin was glowing, her hair was up in a

Chapter: Chapter Fifty FourNATASHA'S POVI smiled, and nodded my head as if he could see me. If he was calling me, he meant he cared right?I guess he really is nice. It meant a lot that he thought of calling again to check up on me.“Yeah, I can't. I keep thinking about seeing her empty eyes if I close my eyes for a second.” I said quietly.“I know what you mean.” He said quietly as he paused. “How about we talk? Maybe if we talked long enough, you'll get exhausted enough to fall asleep.” He suggested.I nodded my head, “Yeah, I would like that.” I replied.“Great…oh, and did your parents get mad that you got home so late?” He asked.“My mom mostly, but the anger went away when she saw what a mess I was.” I said.“Did you start crying again?” He teased and I laughed.Of course I cried but I wasn't going to tell him that. He would just call me a crybaby again.Which wasn't fair, who wouldn't shed several bucketfuls of tears if their friend died?Of course, I knew he wasn't trying to be mean, he was just trying

Chapter: Chapter Fifty One NATASHA'S POVNo, oh God no. This couldn't be…there had to be a reason her pulse was gone.Maybe she just passed out. You can't feel a person's pulse if they fainted right?But why was my heart beating so fast, threatening to jump out of my chest?Why were her eyes wide open like that? Frozen in shock and fear?“Patty…” I called softly, my voice breaking, threatening to fall apart. I pushed gently and that's when I saw it.The blood…the pool of blood on the part where her head laid.I screamed. Another bloodcurdling scream that could have been miles away.“Patty! Patty! No, please, Patty…wake up!” I yelled. I was becoming hysterical.The situation was starting to dawn on me. The loud crack, the sickening crunch when she fell.The lifeless open eyes, the lack of a pulse…no, God no. Please. We were just talking.We just took pictures. I could see her smile in my head, hear her laughter in my soul.I could see the way her eyes glinted with mischief and humor when she teased me, the look

Chapter: Chapter Fifty NATASHA'S POVThe girls were chattering excitedly amongst themselves while the guys pretended they weren't affected.But I didn't need to hear their conversation to know who that guy was.Peter Melton. I had locked eyes with him. As he walked past the door, our gazes had met.It didn't last more than a few seconds but in those few seconds, I felt something I had never felt before.Attraction. Electric, like it had been pulling us towards each other.What I felt for Professor Cain was nothing but an innocent crush but for Peter…it was attraction.Was I stupid to believe he felt it too? That kind of attraction was something two people felt.But that was ridiculous. There was no way Peter Melton was attracted to me.He was so…hot. And some of the girls were right. He looked like a foreigner.His skin…God, he was gorgeous. Those strikingly gorgeous blue eyes, the detail of his face.I supposed he was what they called a Greek god. I imagined if Zeus or Poseidon were a teenage mortal, they
