(No one's POV)

Carolyn conked out within twenty minutes after the lights were extinguished. Genelia also returned to the room, sweating and panting. She had a shield in one hand and a black belt of karate in another. She dropped her stuff with her bag near her bed and entered the bathroom.

Just as she disappeared into the bathroom, Pansy twisted to look over her shoulder at Carolyn. The latter was fast asleep. Her calm breaths was a testament to that.

Pansy lied on her back and quietly pu

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 83

    83Carolyn's POVIt's been two days since I confronted Rafael regarding my sufferings. And guess what— he's not hurt me even once.The college resumed as usual yesterday. Everyone was talking about the trip. They were taken to the neighboring Pack's forest museum, so everyone had something to discuss and share. I was envious of them. From how excited they sounded, it seemed like they had a wonderful time. I wanted to experience that too. Had Rafael not sent me early to my room to rest that day they had a test match, I would have stayed to hear the announcement. Anyway, today when I entered the college building, students ignored me. The trip discussions were much more exciting. Yes, grow tired of me. Ignore me. Treat me like I don't exist. That way I would be able to enjoy my college time. I came to my locker and opened the door. "What the!" I exclaimed and jumped back but the damage was done. All the dirty water someone had somehow placed in my locker to drench me got all over my

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 82

    82Carolyn's POV "You've been bullied and called names." Just like me. "And beaten up. So, for a person who grew up having such a challenging life, it's impossible to go around and drug a girl and rapë her." Rafael was looking at me without a flicker of emotion. His eyes were indifferently resting on my face. His hands folded and his body language giving away nothing. "So you went around telling her about my painful past!" He said, eyes now hard. "I thought she was a good girl and maybe someone else took advantage of her." I told him about the watch she showed me and that I knew every guy in the sports team got merch as a benefit. "So you see, I wanted to clear your image." "Why? I didn't ask you to do anything to save my image. We're not friends." He said in a sarcastic tone. "We aren't, but you're the only person who, despite being so perfect and talented, never came at me. You're everything I want to be. I've told you that before, didn't I? While the mere sight of me causes ir

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 81

    81Rafael's POV "You're such an idiot." I grumbled before wearing a pair of skates from the storage closet. Then I went in and sat before her on my haunches. I did it with grace because ice and I have a bond stronger than two fated mates. This chilly surface understands me better than humans. "Show me." She sobbed when I lifted her face by her chin. I froze at the sight of the swelling. The cut was deep and her bottom lip had swollen like a bubble. I looked up to find her staring down at my throat. Maybe she was staring at nothing. There were just thick tears and quivers in her body. I felt them too and the eventual jerks from her sobbing. Exhaling a breath, I fetched my handkerchief. Before I could bring it closer to her face, she turned away. "I-it's fine." I sat there confounded. The sound of her blood drops falling on the ice sounded like thunder to my ears. Despite the bleeding, she crawled on the ice. "You don't have to do it." "I'll do it. I can do it." She sobbed agai

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 80

    80Rafael's POVI trailed her tears with my eyes. They were thick and... I hate to admit it, they bothered me.Why is she easily triggered? Princesses don't really cry so much, do they? They are so brutally pampered that they get stuff before a single teardrop falls.But this princess here is confusing me. She's mysterious too. I was wondering just that when she said things that stalled my breaths."You call me a princess, but do you even know what Princess means? Do I look like a princess? You're making me work like a donkey. You think princesses can do this?" She referred to the room around.I was compelled to look around.Honestly, I don't think princesses can do this. In fact, the way she used the broom and the mop, it was as though she knew how to use them. As though she used them daily.But Princesses don't touch brooms and mops, right? They find them derogatory as it doesn't go with their personality. Princesses use vacuum cleaners and automatic mopping machines."This is serio

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 79

    79Carolyn's POVRafael was staring at me like I had grown some disgusting pustules on my face, and as if it was hard to look away. It was making me nervous. Since he wasn't looking away, I did. I lowered my head as I played with my fingers. I am sure what I did was not wrong. I mean, he would have anyway made me do that. Rafael thinks I have been raised without love, so that's why he's making me do such chores, assuming that I have never done cleaning and cooking. But most of my life I just worked. It's the best I can do. "I didn't ask you to clean it." He spoke, finally. I looked up and wished to add a word to his statement— Yet. But I'm sure he would have asked me eventually. "I thought you'd make me do that anyways so..." I looked down again. "Are you not annoyed?" I blinked my eyes before looking at him again. "Annoyed by what exactly?" "Work." A single word, but full of grudges and hostility. I just forced a smile and shrugged. You don't know anything, Rafael. My life.

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 78

    78Carolyn's POV At night, I ate from the packed food Genelia stored under her bed. After what happened today, I'm terrified of the cafeteria. I don't think I'll be able to go there again. I stopped eating and stared at the cup of instant noodles in my hands. If I don't go to the canteen, how else will I eat? I can't depend on Genelia's food forever. Besides, this is called taking advantage of someone's niceness. I can't just keep eating her food and do nothing. I was hungry but I didn't take anything else. I thanked the goddess for what I had today and turned out all the light. I laid down and closed my eyes. Tears formed behind my closed eyelids and burned there. I clutched into the sheet to suppress my pain. The worst has happened. Not only was I made a laughing stock today, I also probably annoyed Rafael. He might have let me go to rest today, tomorrow he would make my day more miserable. It's okay, Carolyn. You're strong. You've seen worse than this. I squeezed my eyes
