Six-months later.
Luke had stayed true to his words and had made Raina’s life a living hell.
As Raina walked through the corridors someone shoved her to the side and made her collide with the wall.
Raina stopped moving as she looked at the person who had pushed him, it was none other than Fiona, she looked at her and gave her smirk, “oh, I am so sorry, I didn’t see you there, maybe because you are so insignificant.”
Raina felt angry as she felt mad at Fiona, she glared at her with red eyes as she clenched her fists; she wanted to hit her so bad.
But Fiona just smirked as she came forward and said, “what happened? Are you angry? You want to fight? Why don’t you huh?! Come on, go ahead, hit me! If you can, that is.”
Raina’s eyes were filled with tears as she glared at Fiona. She then glanced to the side and saw Luke standing over there, he was looking in her direction with a smirk.
Suddenly, Raina felt a slap on her cheek and her face flew to the side, she looked at Fiona wide eyes and Fiona yelled, “what are you staring at! Fucking slut! Why are you staring at my boyfriend! Huh!”
Raina felt cornered and frustrated. She just turned around and left, she was going to be late to the class again but she can’t fight back.
Her eyes watered with warm tears, and her lips quivered as she walked away.
At first, she had fought back, if someone had slapped her, then she would slap back, but then she got into trouble, Luke had more influence than she had thought, he knew the principal from the start.
If she hit someone back, then she was the one scolded for assaulting someone, she tried hard to fight back, she was suspended, scolded, humiliated and in the end, she was threatened that she would lose her scholarship and would have to leave the university and of course she can’t let that happen.
She had to study, and she had gotten the admission after trying so hard!
Hence, she had to tolerate everything that she was going through. Besides, she knew that she somewhat deserved it, it would be just a few years and then she would be free.
She went to the washroom, wiped her tears and washed her face as she stared at her reflection and sighed, after calming down she walked back to the class where she was scolded by the teacher in front of the entire class, people laughed at her but she was used to this now.
After getting scolded, by her professor, Raina walked to her seat and sat down in the corner, she just hoped that no one would bother her now.
The class was over soon and she was the first one to get up and leave, however before she could leave the class, someone tripped him and she fell on the ground becoming the laughingstock once again, she gritted her teeth and glared at the person before she ran outside the class.
She was not going to break; she was not that weak; she was going to tolerate, she would not give up that easily.
During lunch, she sat on a bench under a tree, “enjoying your college life? Miss Raina.”
She closed her eyes as she sighed when she heard that voice; she looked at him and saw how happy he looked after making her feel so tormented.
Luke just smirked, “so, now you know what if feels like to be bullied huh? Why don’t you find someone rich you know, someone as influential as me?” Luke smirked as he said, “go ahead, find someone good, and spread your legs before him. Try to satisfy him and then he would protect you.
But I don’t think any student would like you, since you are not that special and appealing, why don’t you look for someone older?”
“Luke!” Raina got up as she yelled at him, “don’t you dare! Don’t you dare say that!”
Luke rolled his eyes and sighed, “Why? Why are you mad, huh? Isn’t that true, though? Back in the middle school, the reason why you were able to torment others was just because you were Mathew’s girlfriend, right? But it was my sister who destroyed him and his parents and everyone who had bullied me.
Without him, without someone to back you, you are nothing; you are absolutely disgusting, a piece of trash and worthless, you are no one, you are insignificant and no one gives a fuck about you. Perhaps the only thing that you can do is just use your body.”
Raina clenched her fists as her eyes were filled with tears, but this time she was not able to control her tears as she they leaked from her eyes.
Luke just smirked and said, “aw…. You are sad? Your face is so red? Let me help you cool down; he said, dumped the cold coffee that he was holding over her head. Before he walked away.
Raina just sat back down on the bench and started to cry.
Luke heard her sobs, and he felt good, a bitch like her deserved all the bullying. And Luke would make sure that she goes exactly what he and Victoria went through, but somewhere deep down in his heart he was bothered by Raina's sobs, but he would never admit that.
“So how do I look?”Luke smiled as he looked at her and said, “Lovely.”Raina then looked at Luke as well and stared at him up and down because of how handsome he looked, she couldn’t take her eyes off of Luke, so she licked her lips and looked down before she said “You look handsome as well.”Luke smiled, “thank you.”“Mummy let’s go,” Madeline said as she came beside Raina and grabbed her hand, and then she grabbed Luke’s hand as well, Luke felt warmth engulfing his heart as he smiled at the little bundle of joy, as the three walked out the door.Luke had booked a very expensive restaurant, and he booked the VIP section as he didn’t want anyone to disturb them, it was going to be just the three of them enjoying their quality time together.Raina also had no problem at all, in fact, she also liked to be away from the crowd, just Luke and her da
Luke looked at Raina and the way she looked was enough for him to hang up on Victoria. Raina was however pissed as she mocked, “Great, hearing a witch’s voice first thing in the morning.”She said as she started to cut big pieces of the pancakes and started to shove the food in her mouth she wanted to eat her food and get away from there.Luke saw that and wanted to say something but before he could say anything his phone rang again, and he saw the same number, he knew that it was Victoria, he did not answer the call and just turned the phone on silent.He then looked at Raina and started to make small talk but it was useless as his phone just kept on ringing and ringing and ringing, it just wouldn’t stop, and in the end, Raina got so annoyed that she banged her hand on the table, Madeline flinched as well when she saw her mother was angry.Raina glared at Luke and said, “Why don’t you just answer her? She
Raina placed the food on the table and set the dishes as well, Luke and Madeline sat on their chairs as well and Luke looked at Raina but she didn’t even spare him a glance and focused on the food and then Madeline.“Thanks for the food,” Luke said as he sat on his chair but Raina did not reply, Luke thought that it was weird, when he had come downstairs he had seen her smiling and dancing happily so her mood was alright but when he came into view she was once again mad.It seems like she was still angry at him, but angry for what? For the college bullying, for having a crush on Victoria, or for taking Victoria’s side when he was a child.Luke sighed as he thought that it was confusing, however when he sighed, he saw that Raina finally glanced at him, but she looked annoyed and she said nothing.After the dinner was over, Raina put the dishes in the washbasin and then picked up Madeline and put her in the bed, she read Madeline a b
Raina shut the door of her room and sighed as she thought about what she had said. She wanted to bang her head against the wall for admitting to Luke, about her stupid childhood crush, but what she said was not false either, all she said was the truth.Meanwhile, Luke still stood in the living room thinking about everything that Raina had said and it was still hard for him to understand everything.Things were more complicated than he thought, there was more to the story than he had seen, he had never seen Raina’s perspective, he always wanted to know why he was being bullied and now he guess he knows.It was because Raina had a crush on him and he had a crush on Victoria and Victoria who knew about this, took advantage of this opportunity to play the victim, technically she was the victim, but she dragged Luke into this.And now that Luke was reminded of his very first encounter with Raina he remembered the incident clearly, he clearl
Luke sighed as he looked at Raina, she was clearly pissed after seeing Victoria, Luke spoke, “I said clearly that I have no feelings towards Victoria, why are you bringing that up again?”Raina sighed when she heard that, she felt that she was being unreasonable and that she should not be like this but she was not able to control herself, she was angry and pissed. She didn’t know why but she felt angry, perhaps because Luke didn’t tell Victoria to get lost and never come back.Perhaps she was angry because Luke talked to Victoria and was kind to her, and she hated that, Raina just wanted Luke to tell Victoria to leave them alone and never come anywhere around them.She sighed as she started to walk towards her room however her hand was grabbed by Luke and he stopped her as he pulled her back and said, “Why are you mad?”“I am not mad.” Raina said as she tried to walk away but Luke was not ready to let her go
“Father, I saw Raina outside the council, did you meet her as well?” Victoria asked Dax, who sighed.Dax had not told his family about Raina at all, his family does not know that he had helped Raina set up the business and they also don’t know that he had given her money invested in her business, and even gave her her mother a house to stay.And not even the fact that he had also asked the council to look after Raina, and find her as well.If his wife found out then she was surely going to make a big issue out of it and he wouldn’t hear the end of it the worst part was that his wife might go after Raina as well and might do something to her.Dax knew that Raina could take care of herself but Dax knew that his wife was vicious and if she said or did something to Raina then she would survive but if she dared to do or say something to Madeline then Raina would butcher her because Dax knew that just how much Raina loved her daughter an
