MasukLyra:There's nothing I hated more than a cheating man; it made my blood boil naturally because cheating is one of the nastiest things a human could ever do.Like if you are tired of your partner or out of love, maybe try to be honest, like get a hooker that you both agree on, and by the way, in my case, I would never agree, or tell your partner you are out of love so you two can separate.It's not even like Nicholas/Rodrigo was like cheating on one of them; he was double-crossing them, and nothing made me more mad than that. Finally, with Daniel's help, I was going to expose him.I quickly left my computer and went to put on some normal clothes. I had lied to Mia to come over for something urgent, and I don't know why, but she said she would be here soon.Downstairs, I waited for Rodrigo/Nicholas. Mom was in the bedroom, which worked in my favor. Soon a knock sounded at the entrance, and it was Rodrigo. I'll just go with that; it's easier.“Lyra, how are you?” He greeted me as he ste
Elara:The doctor had me ready; she put the fake machines on fake numbers so it could look critical, and with me in real pain, I was on IVs, and fuck, the way I hated needles.Soon we were ready; I was looking all sick in the bed, and machines were connected to me.“Are you sure it won't give me any problems?” I asked, as the others, if I didn't need them."Yes, ma'am, they won't. Please, can I ask for a favor as well?”"Okay, first off, don't use 'as well' as if you're doing me a favor; I wouldn't be paying you, this is a job for you, and second, I'll have fifty thousand transferred to your account.”"Yes, about that, I know our original agreement was one million…”“And?” I looked at her like I was interested.“I think with this new disease we should renegotiate.” I nodded like I was in support, "Say, we add five hundred.”“Thousand?”“Yes.”“Um, I can't get close, but listen to me well…” I sat up. “I can have you killed within a minute and have someone take your job for much a cheap
Elara:“Fuck!” I cursed in pain as my head was literally hurting; damn, I had to get this checked in case it was serious. “Where are you going?” I quickly stood up from the sofa as Ronan almost left without saying goodbye.“To work, obviously.”“Looking like that?” He was still in his yesterday's clothes, and water was still dripping from his face, which meant he had just splashed water on his face.“Please don't start this morning.”"Oh, are you serious right now? After you pushed me off, you don't want me to start?”"Okay, I don't have time for this.”“Where's even your office bag?” I didn't care if he had time or not. "You want me to change the wedding date but still refuse to help with anything? We were supposed to shoot our countdown photos.”“Do whatever you want, Lara.” He really didn't care anymore; it's sad how men start treating you once they lose interest. “I have to go.”“You don't even eat breakfast; this is what the future looks like for me, right?!” I had to shout as he
I didn't sleep that night. Victor was by my side, yes, but I just couldn't stop thinking about everything, about Mia; she really hurt me more than anyone ever has.We literally slept in flowers; I didn't have the energy to get up. Victor cleaned where he could, but each time I turned, I felt flower petals under my skin.The next morning, I woke up and pretended to be okay so that Victor wouldn't be worried about me. It's good he didn't try to ask me about where I had disappeared to yesterday. We had breakfast that Mom prepared, and Victor had to clock in for work.“You can just find an assistant until Clara is out; I have to catch up with my school anyway," I told him. I don't know why I honestly thought I could pull off working for him; obviously I couldn't. I had so much to deal with that working for Victor shouldn't be part of it.Victor understood; he told me he wouldn't stay long, that he would just hurry it up. He reminded me of the case, that I would be required to testify soon
I have done a lot for Lyra. Even when I used to live in the Cole mansion, I still did things for her. I helped pay her rent when she couldn't make it, and I helped buy her food and do things for her.I thought only her sisters were evil; she loved me like a sister the same way I loved her.Never has it ever crossed my mind that she would wish bad upon me; even today after she had forced alcohol down my throat, even after she had suggested that I get an abortion, I still didn't think she would actually wish bad on me, but now I'm finding her on my bed, waiting to seduce my husband?Okay, if you were in my shoes, what would you even think? Because I didn't know what to think; I didn't want to believe it either, but I couldn't deny it.I was in shock but aware of everything, so when the doorknob moved, I ran to it thinking Mia was back, only to see it was Victor.“Lyra, you're back.” He took me in his arms, then after a second pulled away and told me he'd been looking for me all day. “Mi
Mia was on her feet, trying to cover herself properly; she looked anxious, and I don't know why.“Wait, so this is how you want me to greet Victor today, right?” I asked, chuckling to myself.“Huh?” she seemed to have forgotten her own plan for a second.“Dressed like this, room decorated like this, champagne to the side, I only forgot to tell you…” I walked to the table where the two glasses of champagne were. “Victor is also not drinking; he's going to stay sober like me until I can drink again.”“Yeah…?”“I forgot to tell you, gosh, and obviously I was going to take water in this glass so it could match. Wow, you're so thoughtful.”“Yes, yes I am." She sounded like she didn't plan all this.Sure, I didn't ask her to plan this; I didn't ask her to do this for me, but I know she was feeling bad for how she behaved with me and decided to make up for it by doing this.“Okay, I have to go. Good luck with… with all of this.” She said quickly and didn't even stop when I stopped her as she
Maya was right. I just couldn’t take this and I needed to make a plan but before I had even thought of one, I had already drowned four bottles of alcohol and still thinking, ‘yeah, one more might fix this.’Maya had left after she had a call from her current boyfriend. She didn’t stay long enough f
Ring. Ring. Ring.I groaned, dragging the pillow over my head. I waited for the phone to stop ringing but it didn’t. I blindly reached for it and then I saw the name. Maya. “What the hell?” I muttered, sitting up immediately. Maya was calling me?My chest tightened, something must be wrong, like
"She's choking!" I heard someone scream.I coughed violently, my entire body jerking as water forced its way out of my mouth. My lungs burned like someone had set them on fire. “Breathe,” a voice said. “Stay with me.”I sucked in a sharp breath, only to choke again, more water spilling out as I ga
Ronan walked out on me, leaving me standing in the room like an idiot. Wow, I should have seen this sooner. My chest hurt like hell, but I forced a laugh anyway. It was the only thing I could do right now. I was in the middle of changing my clothes when I heard someone screaming my name. A franti
