At that moment, Rita was certain that there could never be any greater fool than she. Just how?How could she have allowed her mind drift off without considering Marianna's presence in the penthouse? The house was even kept a secret from Rita by Marianna, yet when her supposed friend didn't question her about her awareness about it, she didn't find it suspicious. Most definitely, Marianna was aware of her evil deeds. Then again, it was absurd how effortlessly she was given out to the police. What kind of friend was Marianna? Never has she asked for an explanation or her standpoint about the entire thing but rushes off to involve the police. She was a betrayer – something Rita had once foreseen yet stupidly denied kt severally. But now, it was unarguable that Marianna wasn't by her side; no one was. Not even her best friend – it was saddening, then again it was better to do things alone. People were only meant to be manipulated in her eyes, and since Marianna had exposed her true
She was the embodiment of hate.A living, breathing being that had hate coursing through the veins of her body instead of blood — beautiful effulgent yet eyes bloodshot; lethal, and outrageously murderous.Michelle was resentment reincarnated, but she was viewed in that manner only in his eyes.Only in the eyes of Derek — he witnessed his once sweet, lively, somewhat credulous Michelle transform into a being that loathed him.He did bring this upon him.Over, and over again his subconscious replayed the scene of Michelle stabbing him with the sole intention of riding him from the Earth.The wistful agony brought the gynecologist back to a state of consciousness.Slowly, his eyelids flew apart, giving way for his droopy teary orbs to behold the view of a ceiling.Derek was finally awake.His body which laid motionlessly on the moderately large bed was heavily bandaged. Both his wrists had narrowed tubes connected to a vein or two yet nothing felt real to him.Owlishly, Derek gawked at
ELORA’S POV. I was so shocked and confused….how could they be Lucien and Zora. I felt my eyes was deceiving me, but it was very obvious that they were my worst enemies. “How come?” I murmured, narrowing my eyes at them. “Is this a question you’re expecting us to answer ?” Zena asked, with a sly smile plastered on her face. Never in my life had I imagined that Luca and Zena were actually my worst enemy from my past life that betrayed me and also ended my life. I was beginning to regret keeping them close to me, and even refused to listen to Damon who has always been suspicious of them. “Why was I so dumb?” I facepalmed myself and the loud echoes of their laughter brought me back to reality. “You were really dumb Elora, to think that I thought you were a smart one,” Lucien said, but I just stared blankly at him. I didn’t have anything to say to him, either did I have the strength to react. “See what you brought upon yourself Elora, now we’ve vowed that you’ll die and it must b
73The rowdiness of the Scarlet Heart Palace without an Alpha, unlike any other day, wasn't caused by the servants haste to fulfil an appalling order by Sebastian. Almost every individual was as busy as a worker bee, and ostensibly dishearteningly enough, they were occupied wholly by a wrong reason; they were tidying the bloodied Palace. The brawl between the deceased, and surely won't be missed Alpha Sebastian, and the Alpha King, Shawn was indeed in a bloody one. A significant number of the guards were injured, but none sustained fatal injury. It was truly impressive how the Alpha King controlled his rage while fighting the guards — most would've wasted their lives since they were nothing more but servants. Shawn wasn't that callous — Sebastian was his main target. “Won't you at least wait until the Alpha's funeral's concluded?” Logan, a being once heavily trusted by the dead Alpha, uttered questioningly to the Pack's Delta. Night had befell every part of the Nation, and the w
OLIVIA'S POV "Wow, this place is gorgeous..thank you," I commented after Marco pulled the chair out for me like a gentleman that he was. He then sat in front of me too and looked around with a smile. "I wasn't sure where to choose at all so I ended up going for this hoping that it would satisfy you." He replied and I chuckled "I don't ask for much, Marco, and I am not a complainant." I let out and he raised his hands slightly to apologize. "I am sorry if my words sounded offensive. But I hope you got the message." "Yeah, I did." I nodded with a smile. A waitress came to us and handed over the menus. She stood behind me, waiting for us to choose what we would like to have. I opened it and what I saw almost made my heart rip into pieces. Why were things this expensive here? "Don't you like any of it?" Marco asked concernedly. "It's not that. I am only surprised at his expensive these meals are." I replied trustfully and we both went ahead to cho
Michelle's POV_Today I finally graduated from the university and to say I was happy was an understatement, I was filled with so much joy at the achievement that no amount of words could express it.I and my boyfriend Shawn decided to hold a little party to celebrate my graduation. I had only invited a few of my close friends since I wanted to keep things on the low. One thing no one was expecting was that this night will also be the night my best friend will be proposed to.Everyone was busy dancing and partying when the music suddenly stopped and that was when the surprise came in. Tommy went down on one knee and proposed to Mirabel right in front of everyone.Mirabel's dropped in shock as she wasn't expecting this and due to how long she was taking to answer, everyone began to panic until she finally said *Yes!*The whole crowd cheered them on and even I couldn't hide my excitement, but behind that excitement, I was also filled with envy and I suddenly wished that I also was gettin
Michelle's POV_"If you're seeking those kinds of things with me Michelle, then I'm afraid it's never going to happen." He said with a straight face."But we...." I trailed as I got overwhelmed by my emotions. "But you're my mate." I said softly. "Shouldn't mates be together forever? Aren't we supposed to be committed to each other?"Shawn ruffled his hair. "I already told you this Michelle, there's no such thing as commitment or a long lasting relationship, I'm not really into this soulmate thing. Just because we're mates doesn't guarantee a future filled with bliss forever, it doesn't guarantee that something won't go wrong along the line and cause us to separate, feelings can change Michelle, so you better wake up and face the reality of things.""I refuse to be tied down with marriage as an excuse, in fact I think it's best we end things here, I can't give you all that you've asked, it's best we both end things and go our separate ways."The moment he said those words, my blood bo
Michelle's POV_It's been a month since I and Shawn broke up, luckily for me, I managed to secure a job at a restaurant where I now work as a waitress and although I tried to be strong on the outside, deep inside I was slowly losing myself.No matter how hard I tried to get over Shawn, it just seems so impossible to do so, I just can't get over the fact that everything is truly over between us and the way he ended things kept on taunting me.I really tried so hard to be strong for myself but it was really breaking me.My head suddenly started spinning and my vision got blurry, I tried to maintain my balance, but I couldn't.I collapsed to the floor and the last I heard before blacking out was the loud screams of my boss.I had no idea what took place after that, but when I woke up, I found myself in a hospital.I tried getting up but someone suddenly held me back and asked me to relax."Hey, not so fast, you need to relax."I turned to see a middle aged woman wearing a white coat and
