CHAPTER FIFTEEN. DAWN S POV. Forcefully, my face swung the opposite way, my neck twisting painfully, seemingly almost snapping from the immense force of Scarlett's punch. My hands clenched, and unconsciously, I began to shiver, my legs wobbling like jelly. Fear engulfed me instantly. Slowly, I raised my gaze towards my assailant, who glared back at me, her eyes brimming with intense hatred. For the first time ever since I arrived at this school, I had been physically assaulted. 'was this bullying going to get worse?' I wondered with a pounding heart. I felt useless and disgusted with myself, knowing even though things would eventually turn out as I feared, I was too weak to go against them and put an end to their antics. " Know your place bitch or I'll put you in it." Scarlett threatened angrily, her beautiful face scrunched up into a horrible frown, that made her look like the she-devil she indeed was. Inadvertently, I shrunk back, intimidated and scared to my marrow.
WHERE IS DAWN? DERRICK'S POV. As we walked to the classroom, we all couldn't help but feel surprised by the fearfulness of that peasant girl. Yes, Dawn— her name was Dawn. She still had not come to us to begin her duties. Our assignments were still with her, and we had to submit this morning. We walked to the classroom, the general one instead of our private session, thinking she would be there waiting for us as she was most likely too scared to come into our lounge and directly meet with us. I chuckled at the thought, remembering how she nearly fell apart merely by being in our presence and began to wobble like a tuning fork, fear boldly written all over her. 'Cute' I thought and found my face, on its own accord, curving into a smile. She really was the perfect fit for a plaything. I knew my brothers all thought the same, including Dominic. We could feel each other's emotions unless we blocked the others out which Dominic often did. I couldn't help but wonder
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. I stared blankly at them, my heart racing in fear, as they gazed back at me, their faces scrunched up into frowns and their fists clenched so tightly that veins streaked up their forearms like tree branches. Still, the other two seemed a little loosened up, but the calm-looking guy whom I still had no idea of what his name was, was glaring intently at me. I could clearly see the immense annoyance in his gaze, and I could only ponder on what must've gotten him so irritated. Had I done something wrong again? Just then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit me— I was supposed to have tendered their assignments to them for submission but I had not even touched a single page. Instantly, I began to panic, and my legs started to wobble like jello. I could feel the triplet's intense gaze boring into me so deeply that I couldn't help but gulp hard. My entire body began to heat up, and I could feel my insides clenching and squirming. What feeling
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.DEVON'S POV." Do you guys think locking her up was the right thing to do?" I questioned, facing my brothers, keeping my expression as neutral as I could. Both Dominic and Derrick both turned, throwing me a look of surprise. They were in absolute disbelief of my statement, just as I figured they would. " Is this actually Devon speaking or a skinwalker inhabiting his body?" Derrick, the blabbermouth of us questioned with a mocking smile. I rolled my eyes, an exasperated scoff escaping me, as the bastard chuckled mischievously. " This can't be Devon, because the Devon I know only cares about getting into girl's pants. He doesn't give two fucks about their well-being," He added, bursting into incessant laughter like the idiot he was. I felt the burning intent to lunge at him at that moment and beat him to a pulp but restrained myself, knowing that Dominic wouldn't be approving of that.It wasn't that I viewed Dominic as my superior or anything, I just respected h
CHAPTER NINETEEN. DAWN'S POV. It seemed as though I was sinking into a lake of fire. Everywhere was just uncomfortably hot, and every inch of my body was burning and itching all over. All I could do was scream and plead for mercy as I struck the floor in frustration repeatedly. " Please Aunt, please, please. I can't breathe," I cried out, hiccuping between words, as tears streamed down my face like a river. My chest burned, my limbs felt heavy, and it felt like a pit had been bored into my stomach. I sat there on the ground, bawling my eyes out. My back was placed against the door as I kept pleading for help and mercy, but no one answered or came to my rescue. I began hallucinating, as I sat in the middle of the dark, confined space, fearing and imagining the worst. ' What if a vengeful ghost appeared or a swarm of cockroaches creeped out of the darkness and smothered me?' I pondered, hearing my heart pound loudly within my chest. I started to rear backward till my b
CHAPTER TWENTY. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. I looked around trying to figure out everything that happened and how I had gotten here but turned up completely blank. I sat up and the first realized that my belongings were untidily scattered across the room and immediately got out of bed, wondering why. Just then, the door swung open, and in came the she-devil, Scarlett with an evil grin on her face. " She's awake" She called out, briskly approaching me, and due to the immense dread that she had instilled in me, I immediately began to back away. At the mere sight of her, I had already begun to hyperventilate and perspire profusely, despite the active air conditioner in the room. Just when I thought I was about to get another round of beating, the door swung open again and Devon sauntered in. I breathed a sigh of relief unknowingly, feeling unexplainably relieved to see him. Scarlet noticing my mannerisms of relief, narrowed her gaze at me before turning around. Instantly, she rec
DAWN'S POV. As soon as I stepped out of Mr. Jones' car, a view of a massive building greeted my eyes, a reminder that I had gotten the chance to study here. A scholarship to one of the most prestigious colleges in the city, Venus Lunar, everyone's dream school. Finally, I could study freely, be myself, pursue my dreams… and maybe even meet him afterward, without anyone insulting me or reminding me about my dead parents. "Are you alright, girl?" I heard Mr. Jones from beside me. He must have seen me smiling like a fool at the thought of how my life was going to change. Startled, I turned to him. He had gotten out of his vehicle and was adjusting his suit. "Yes, thank you so much, sir, for everything, especially this," I replied with a thin smile while gesturing with my free hand towards the gigantic building, my books in the other. "I should be thanking you instead, kiddo. I owe you my life," he replied me with a bright smile, reminding me of the day I saved his life and gave mys
DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. "You are a peasant?" Charlie exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes wide open and almost popping out of its sockets. I gulped down my saliva, butterflies in my tummy and my hands trembling once again. "I can't believe this," A girl murmured. "We sat with a trash can?" Another girl exclaimed in disbelief. Whispers spread through the dining hall, and a few girls approached our table. Some of them took out their phones, seizing the opportunity to capture the unfolding drama for the school's group chat. "What's happening, Scarlett?" asked a girl with auburn hair. "Just a little drama, Lisa. A peasant trying to pass herself off as a rich girl and fooling every one of us," Scarlett replied, flashing me an evil grin that sent shivers down my spine. "N-n-no! I never claimed to be rich," I stuttered, trying to defend myself. Before I could explain, a bucket of paint was emptied over my head, drenching me from head to toe. I stood in shock, my mouth agape, unable to com
