Victoria's POVI was turning around on my bed, but I couldn't sleep at all, and I hate to think that it was because of Oliver. I know I hate him so much and I couldn't believe that I felt so happy when I heard him say I am beautiful and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was stupid of me to feel this way because I could tell that he would make everything to make me so angry with him. I only met him this morning, yet he already managed to wreck my reputation by kissing me in front of everyone. And for that, I will make sure Oliver Prize will pay for what he has done to me.And since I couldn't fall asleep, I got up from my bed and got my book, and started rereading my lesson for tomorrow until I could no longer keep my eyes open. The following morning I was awakened by a series of knocks on my door, and I hated the person outside my door because he disturbed me in my sleep. After all, my alarm clock is still off, meaning I still have minutes to stay on my bed. I didn't get up to ope
Victoria's POVI got out of my car feeling so sick, and I couldn't believe that I would be feeling this way and I knew that this was the first time that I experienced this kind of emotion, and it was so foreign, yet I have read it from the books, and I hate it. I hate Oliver for sure, and Keisha, who threw herself at him like a leech, and I wanted to scream at them.How could Oliver kiss Keisha without opening the car door for me first? And I am just glad Tim came to my rescue. He always came near my car every time I arrived on the school grounds, but my driver always beats him to open the car door for me, and this was the first time he was able to do it, and I could see the happiness on his face."Thank you, Tim," I said, and he offered to take my bag and books, and this time because of the anger that I felt for Oliver. I gladly gave my things to him, and I could tell all eyes were on me now since I didn't let anyone touch my things, and they all knew everything that I like and what
Victoria's POV"What?" Lana asked me after the bell rang, signaling classes were over for the day."Please take me home because I can't be with Oliver after what he had done to me the entire day," I said, and I could see how my best friend raised her eyebrow, and I could tell she was trying to tell me something, but she opted to shut her mouth."What do you want to tell me, Lana? I know that look, and I could tell you will not feel at ease if you will not spit it out." I said, and she moved closer to me."For the record, I haven't seen Oliver come near you the entire day, and I could tell he was avoiding you. It seems he had done the opposite. He only drove your car this morning and explained to our fellow students that you are not that close. Only your fathers are best friends. He informed everyone that he is not interested in you, so I think that is the reason why you don't want to ride with him in the first place, right, Victory?" She asked, and I pouted my lips at her, and I hated
Victoria's POVI was scanning my books, but I couldn't concentrate because I couldn't stop thinking about Oliver and the words he said to me. I didn't eat with him during dinner because I didn't want to see his face and have another unpleasant conversation with him. And I was wondering where he is right now, and I don't like to get downstairs and talk with Celia because I hate to know if Oliver went together with Keisha to attend the beach party.I was sulking in my room because even my dad favored Oliver. How could my dad defend him when he was only his best friend's son while I was his daughter? I hated my father for trusting Oliver so much, and my father didn't even know that his daughter was hurting. I know we can never have a civil conversation because we constantly bark at each other. I think it was because our first meeting was an unpleasant one.For the first time, I put my books back in my bag without reading them and answering my assignments on a weekday. I got tired, didn't
Victoria's POVI couldn't deny the nervousness that I felt because this was my first time to join a party like this, and I have been invited by the boys every time they come to the beach, but I always say no, and in the end, they felt tired of asking me. I wanted to keep my reputation as the Queen of our school.I usually attend social gatherings held at five-star hotels and other impressive places, not some cheap place like this where I can tell it is so public, and anyone can get inside and out. Even if I know Zenith City is safe, there are still cases in our neighboring cities with some violence, and crime is high."Are you ready to join them?" Tim asked after he parked his car, and I could feel the pounding of my heart."Yes, I am ready," I replied, and he beamed at me."What are you waiting for, Victory? You should remove your cover-up and show everyone what you've got." He said, and I know before I left the house, I was excited to show them my swimsuit, but right now, I could te
Oliver's POVI admit for the first time in my entire life, I wasn't able to sleep because of a certain girl, and I couldn't believe it would be Victoria. Ever since I have learned that she is my mate, I despise her even without seeing her first, and now that I have seen her, she makes it worse by making me feel this way. I don't want to acknowledge the attraction I feel towards her because I don't want to be laughed at by the elders. And there is no way I will eat all the words I said to the elders that I would never fall in love with her.I told them that I don't like Victoria to be my mate, and I would find on my mate in time and my own pace, and I told them I would only acknowledge someone to be my mate if she could turn my world upside down, yet seeing Victoria made me feel something I didn't know existed. And she turned my world more than I could imagine. And right now, as I was lying on my bed thinking that her room was just across from mine, I couldn't stop the pounding of my h
Oliver's POVI drove away from the school parking lot feeling so pissed with Victoria, and when I saw her on the bus stop craning her neck from side to side, I was curling my fists hard on the steering wheel because she made me lose my patience. I pressed the button of the horn loud enough for her to hear, and when she darted a glance at the car, I could see the frustration on her face right away, and when I stopped the car in front of her, I could see the anger on her face that matched with my own.I yelled at her to get in, and I felt so frustrated when she pretended she didn't hear or see me. And she never listened when I told her she would regret it if she did not get inside the car. And when I realized she would never give me her attention, I got out of the car and carried her, and I hated myself that why do I need to feel the thrill as I put my hands on her waist, and I couldn't explain the emotion that I felt for Victoria. It felt so raw that I could feel the racing of my heart
Oliver's POV"What exactly is your job, Oliver? Am I a job to you? How dare you steal the spotlight from me? I never stop you from kissing your girlfriend in front of everyone, and when I was kissing Tim, you suddenly pulled me away from him; what is wrong with you? Do you know what you have done again?" She asked while I could see the anger all over her face as I drove away from the beach parking lot, and I was gripping the steering wheel harder than necessary.And I made Victoria madder when I didn't reply, and I focused my attention on the road, and I could tell if only looks could kill, I would be dead on the spot as she was watching me with total fury. And I hated her too, I can still feel the boiling anger inside me, and I hated myself for feeling this way. I felt glad she put on my jacket, and I can't deny I felt happy she was wearing it. It feels like she belonged with me. I shook my head why I was even thinking that way."My father told me he hired you as my bodyguard, are yo
