LOGINVERONICA’S POV 🍃-I expected Beatrice wouldn’t be all right when I visited her, but I didn’t think she’d be in such a terrible state. Her hair was messy, she was sitting on the bed and seemed to be thinking far away or maybe she was thinking about what I had said to her.“Beatrice,” I called calmly. She looked truly wretched, like she was grieving a death.She turned to me. She stood up and came closer.Oh, gosh! What the h*ll!Her hair was oily. It looked like she hadn’t bathed in days. Well, she didn’t smell anything bad. Her eye bags were so dark and deep, and her lips were terribly dry. The powerful intimidating Beatrice Watson that who everyone looked up to, everyone is respected her, feared — I couldn’t believe my eyes, seeing her in such a
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-As soon as I left the room, I saw Wallace. He was obviously surprised to see me. His eyes grew to the size of saucers as Harrison walked out of the hotel room.“Veronica—” Harrison trailed off abruptly as he caught sight of Wallace right here, facing me.I haven’t set foot here in ages, and it looks like I’m in a hotel that belongs to Wallace’s wife.“Is there something I don’t know?” Wallace asked coldly but I could tell he was teasing us.“Ugh! Stay away from me!” I screamed at them both before walking out.“What trouble have you caused this time?” I heard Wallace laugh as he asked Harrison...I went to Ethan and Beatrice’s mansion — to my in-law's mansion.The night I let Calix into the guest room, I voluntarily left this mansion for a while. I
VERONICA’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
NATHALIE’S POV-I placed the flowers on my daughter’s grave.I stroked her name as if my hand were holding her.‘I met your father…’ I said to her, ‘I’m sorry, sweetheart. Your father doesn’t know about you... yet.’Lost in time, I stared at my child’s grave, nearly forgetting Chloe had even accom
NATHALIE’S POV-This time around, I woke up early. I managed to cook breakfast and get myself ready before Mom woke up.I knocked three times on the door of her room then went inside.My timing was spot on; I came in as she was just starting to sit up, so I supported her.“Don’t worry about me,”
NATHALIE’S POV-I turned to look at him. I found him already watching me, his eyes speaking volumes without uttering a word.“What do I need to do to fix this between us?”“Sir, I’m here for Brianna. My only reason for being here is to ensure she isn’t taken away from you. That’s it.”“It’s okay i
NATHALIE’S POV-“Baby, let’s check your temperature again.” I told her.She nodded with a smile.I took the body temperature using a gun-style thermometer.“Baby...” I said sweetly. “I’m going to put this on your forehead,” I reminded her. This morning she was scared of this body temperature. Aft
