ASTRID

The moon goddess hates me!

I’m close to believing she doesn’t exist because she has been unfair to me in every way possible and doesn’t care for me. At this point, I do not want to believe I have survived because she cared for me. After all, I’ve faced too much for me to want to believe she exists.

If she does exist then she has her favourite people and the strong ones were her favorites. She chose those to bless and the ones she didn’t bless, and left them to fend for themselves.

I was certain that I didn’t see the gold jewelry when I cleaned Adriana’s room but somehow it was found amongst my belongings and I didn’t know how else to explain that I didn’t bring it here because she already found it in my room.

“Are you still going to deny it? How can you? You stole from me! How dare you bitch!” Adriana approached me with anger, it didn’t take long before her palm found my face and I could barely hear anything for a nanosecond and felt the aftermath of the slap.

    NOAH“Why have you been avoiding me? Why won’t you answer my calls either? What’s wrong Noah?” Adriana asked after barging into my room, interrupting my moments.I was about to close my eyes and rest but she somehow ruined it by entering the room. “I have no business with you so do yourself a favor and walk out through the door,” I replied not glancing at her.I made it clear to her the day I walked out of her parents’ place. I am a man of my word and as I said, I didn’t need her or anyone to complete my task. I’ve always completed my mission and this wouldn’t be an exception. “Are you going to talk to me that way?” She asked, sounding shocked.“Is there anyone else in this room? If there is none then I’m referring to you. Kindly leave my room because I want to sleep,” I retorted.I already found it hard to tolerate her attitude in the past but after what happened, she made it easier for me to not want to stay around her presence. It wasn’t like I needed the certificate or I was a n

  • Mated To The Undercover Alpha Prince   55. The offer from Damien

    ASTRIDTHIEF!THIEF!THIEF!“Thieves don’t get paid Astrid so run along before I call the guards to have you thrown out!”I jolted out of my sleep, panting. Once again, I was having that traumatizing nightmare related to the one-week mid-term break and how I was branded a thief and kicked out without getting paid. It hasn’t been easy for me since I returned to school. It’s been three days and the one reason I haven’t been taunted by Adriana yet is that she hasn't resumed.I ended up not sleeping for the rest of the night. The next day came and I prepared for school. School went well. Class went well and nobody was coming for me. Everyone was busy with their thing because the big bullies of the school were yet to resume. The week went by and by Sunday, the bullies of the school started entering the school dorm. I tried my best not to stay around the dormitory because I didn’t want to see them and the thought of Adriana returning mortified me.If she ended up showing the entire school

  • Mated To The Undercover Alpha Prince   44. Thieves don’t get paid

    ASTRID“You have every right to be angry with me for what I have done to you but I didn’t have a choice myself and I have a family to feed. Yes, it was bad of me but I had to put myself first, and for that, I’m not sorry but I will apologize for making you a thief when you are not,” the woman said to me but it only made me hurt.Tears filled my eyes in anger as I looked at her. While she made valid points and she owes me no loyalty, it still hurts to know that I was branded a thief when I wasn’t. “You cost me everything. While you feel you had to do what you had to do, you could have still done that and assisted me but you didn’t and that means, you didn’t care for what was to happen to me as long as you are safe,” I cried out.“You can’t blame me for the choices I made and you can’t make me feel like a bad person because I know what I did is wrong and if I had my way, I would have found a way to avoid that but you don’t know Adriana and she’s not someone to be messed with. She will

  • Mated To The Undercover Alpha Prince   43. The culprit

    ASTRID“I, Astrid, am a shameless thief and I deserve to die,” I uttered, feeling too embarrassed to say the words and tears streaming down my cheek once again because I knew that wasn’t what I was.“I cannot hear you. Speak up louder,” she urged.I took in a deep breath and exhaled again. “I, Astrid, am a shameless thief and I deserve to die,” I said, a little louder than normal. She burst into a fit of laughter feeling pleased by my words. “I want you to say it one more time but hold on, I’m coming,” she said.She walked out of the room and the second she left, I cried out loudly in pain. I wish I had never chosen to work for her. Because I needed the money, I didn’t care for what was to come and told myself that I would be able to handle it all. The money was all that concerned me and not my peace and now it had given me worse than I can imagine. I wish I could turn back the hands of time then I would never have taken her offer. That way I’d have spared myself all of this pain an

    ASTRID“Astrid!” I heard Adriana call my name for the second time.I continued to run towards her room because I didn’t want any problem and she had warned me that if she had to call for me three times then she’d have my money deducted.I managed to reach her room in time just before she called my name for the third time.“You should be glad that I didn’t call your name for the third time or you’d have seen my wrath,” she said.I tried to catch my breath because I had been running towards her room before replying to her. “Why did you call me?”“I called you because I cannot find my gold jewelry. It's a gift from my dad for my nineteenth birthday and I can’t find it anywhere,” she informed me.“I didn’t see it while cleaning your room,” I replied and that was the truth.She scoffed. “Are you trying to fool me? I kept it on my dressing table before I left for you to clean my room so how come you didn’t see it? Are you calling me a liar or a dumb bitch?” I shook my head. “That’s not it
