FAZER LOGINVERONICA’S POV 🍃-I packed my things.“Veronica, where are you going?”“To my parents.”I hurried out of the restaurant, got straight into my car, and drove to that hellish house.“Where are my parents?” I asked the freaking maid who opened the door when I got there.“I don’t know, Ma’am.”I felt my temper rise at the sheer idiocy of this servant.“Get out of my sight. You’re useless!”“I-I’m sorry, Ma’am,” she apologized, then left in a panic.Where are my so-called ‘amazing parents’? At the company?I was about to go outside when I saw my parents enter. I immediately approached them.“What did you do to my company?! Why is it going downhill? You said and assure me you would protect this company! I worked hard for it with my blood and sweat. When you asked me for this, I agreed because you said you would protect it!”My father jabbed his finger at me in rage. “What can we possibly do? We stand no chance against your husband. Deal with him, talk to your husband.”I was stunned. “Cal
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-The next day I went straight to the rooftop.I rolled up the sleeves of my uniform.I didn’t cover the long cuts all over my wrist.I held the blade tightly, which made my palm bleed.There’s nothing left to hide. Calix already knows what happened to me, he saw it all with his own eyes. I just know he’ll look at me differently now, he’ll hate what he saw. He’ll be disgusted by me. He’ll leave me.I pressed the blade firmly against my wrist. I smiled as I saw blood, then I slashed it.I would’ve done this a long time ago, if Calix hadn’t shown up that day.In this place where I met someone who accepted me and didn’t judge me, I would end my life.I slashed my wrist again, harder, deeper, and I made sure there was a vein to hit.I drew in a shaky breath.The ache was overwhelming, stinging like fire. I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. The pain was too sharp.I couldn’t feel my hand anymore, followed by my whole body. My eyelids were getting heavy.“VERONICA!”
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-Someone placed a lot of notebooks on my table.“Since you’re the one who still doing seatwork, you should hand them over to Teacher Ramirez.”I nodded in response.“Slut,” my classmate muttered under her breath. But since there were only three of us here, I heard it clearly.I glared at my classmate who said slut, then her friend dragged her out.Lucky for her I was in a rush, otherwise I’d have stripped every last strand of hair from her head. If she were as beautiful as I am, her pathetic boyfriend would never have interested to me. Anyway, I’m already growing closer to Zander Calix Watson, I don’t need anyone else.As soon as I finished my classwork, I tidied up my stuff.I was about to leave when my phone rang. It was Calix.[“Where are you?”]“On my way to the faculty. I’m just going to hand our seatwork.”We’re going to Chloe’s house so I can practice what kind of make-up look to do on her.Chloe and I were equally giddy. I was excited to finally use the pro
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-I pressed lightly against his chest, signaling him to let me go. I stepped back two paces.I grinned turned to laughed. “Zander Calix Watson, likes me? Are you crazy? That’s bullsh*t Calix.”“I’m serious about what I said.”Little by little, I stopped laughing as I saw how seriously he was looking at me.I mirthless grin right after arranged the things I was going to use. “Sit down now.”I glanced over at him again. He’d sat down, yet his eyes remained locked on me, unwavering and serious.“If this is just some kind of game to you, please stop now, Calix,” following that I turned to face him again. “Lift your chin up a little.”He did as I said then started hiding the cuts and bruises on his face.“I’m glad I had a friend like you, as well as Harrison, Wallace
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-“Huh?”What is s this? Why is my heart beating so fast all of a sudden? I can feel the heat all over my face.I’ve always known I’m beautiful, people tell me that all the time. But hearing it from Calix was different. Not because he’s handsome, but because of how he said it… so genuine, I could feel his words held no deceit at all.He gently took my wrist. “Why are you doing this to yourself? Just two more cuts to your wrist, right on the vein and you could lose your life.”“What do you care?” I asked rudely.“Can you do the same to me?”“What do you mean?”“Keep my wounds hidden too.”He stood up and took off his long-sleeved school uniform, followed by his sleeveless shirt. There were bruises and wounds all over his body. I could tell most of the
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-“VERONICA FROST!”I stared at my mother wearily. There she was, roaring like a dragon once more as she shrieked my name.She stood up angrily.“You damn brat!”The three of them were already eating.My mother walked up to me and slapped me. I didn’t flinch. It would be far more unexpected if they ever invited me to share a meal.“Is that my breakfast, mom?” I asked sarcastically.“I’ve lost three thousand dollars cash.”“So?”“So you’re not just good for nothing, you’re a thief on top of it all.”“Um?” I pretended to think to annoy my parents more. “Well, yeah. I took it.”“You ungrateful little brat,” she snarled, pointing straight at me. “And what’s that on your face again? Why do you
NATHALIE’S POV-I felt like I had only fallen asleep for a second. Then I sensed Brianna’s tiny hands on my arm, shaking me awake.I opened my eyes and looked at her with a smile."Good..." I coughed without opening my mouth. I did this for proper speech as my throat felt very dry.“Good morning, ba

NATHALIE’S POV-My eyes widened as I looked at him, “Sir?”“There are a few here that the wedding fee does not cover so use them for you and my daughter.”“Sir?” I couldn’t find the words.After we ate, we returned to the hotel room. He showered, and I asked him if Brianna and I could go out for a
NATHALIE’S POV-I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. I was about to get up but I felt a small hand on my waist, then I noticed Brianna hugging me while she was sleeping soundly.I reached for my phone on the side table, trying not to move my body.The side table wasn’t that far away, so I go
