Alyia's Point of View. "She fainted out of stress. I suggest for her to take a rest and she is fine." A voice of a man woke me up so I opened my eyes just to see the white ceiling that I'm facing now. "W-where am I?" I asked myself innocently as if it would answer me but a familiar voice of a woman answered me."You're in the hospital. Again." She answered that made me glance at her just to see her smile that screams sarcasm. "What happened?" I asked and tried to get up but I can't and I don't know why. "You collapsed, Madame." Mira answered before helping me to get up. That was the time that I remembered why I collapsed and where it was. Oh my god. "Cherry!" I exclaimed with my worried voice. "Madame?" Debbie asked with her brows furrowed. "What about Cherry, Ma'am?" Mira asked too with also confusion in her face. "Cherry. Have you contacted her? I want to get in touch with her. She's.. she's my sister! For pete's sake!" "Ma'am, how are you so sure?" Mira asked me while try
Cherry's Point of View. "Give me back my things, please. I'm begging you. I didn't do anything to you. Why are you doing these to me?" I said and my voice is really begging. I pity myself so much for being so weak now. These girls. How can they just be like this knowing I'm not capable of protecting myself because I have no friends? "Will you shut your annoying mouth, loser?" The girl with the red lollipop on her hand yelled at me and like a little kitten, I was silenced by that. "Take these back. It's worthless in the first place. Just like you." The other girl said and threw my bag at me and I tried to catch it but it was too heavy because of the books in it. So, it landed on my right foot and I felt pain as soon as it touched my foot. "Ouch. Ugh." I moaned out of the pain I felt. I bowed my head to caress my foot but that just caused my glasses to fall from my ears. I was about to look for it by crawling because I can't see anything clear without it but I was stopped when I
Alyia's Point of View. When a sound of gunshot banged around the room, it made me roll to the floor. "Ugh." I moaned as I caress my elbow that had a scratch because of the floor. I slowly stood up and opened my eyes only to see Cherry's face very near to me. "Hi, stepsister." She said before she pulled me by my hair. "Cherry... You don't have to do this. Please, you're just blinded by your thoughts. You don't have to do this, please." I said and was ignoring the pain that I'm feeling now because she's still pulling me by my hair. "No. You're not getting into my mind. I need to do this. Stop! You're so annoying!" She yelled at me before throwing me at the wall. "Ugh." I moaned when I felt another pain on my back. I held my tummy and slowly moved because I don't have the strength to stand up and face Cherry again. "Cherry..." I called out her name with my weakest voice. "Shut the fuck up!" She yelled again loudly. "Get her! I don't want to hear a word from that woman again!" S
Alyia's Point of View. "Oh, please. Stop making me cry. I might really be touched and think about sparing your lives." She said with her dramatic voice while she wipe her fake tears from her eyes. "Darling, thank you for the tissues." She added and kissed Zekiel. Are they freaking serious? "Let us go. Please, I'm begging you." My gaze was moved to Cosmos when he said those words with his weak voice. "Oh really? You're begging?" Cherry walked near him and pulled his chin up to make their gazes meet each other. "If you just accepted our offer to you the other night, you won't be here. You will be with us. We'll rise and this girl right here will soon go down." She added while still holding Cosmos' chin and looked at me with her annoyed look. "You were too blinded because of that super stupid thing called 'love' that you didn't think twice before you made your decision. Well, it's okay. Now, you two will be with each other even on your deaths." She said before releasing Cosmos from
10 years later... Cosmos' Point of View. "Your Majesty." The girl with a big basket bowed down as she give me a glass of water. "Your Majesty. I want to thank you for the potion that you gave me the other day. It really helped me and my son. We didn't have to deal with the pain on our tummies. Thank you. Your Majesty." She said and bowed again. "I just did what I think I must do as your King. I'm happy knowing that it helped you." I answered her and smiled. "The Queen is here! Bow down!" A loud shout came from someone that made me glance at the big door. There, I saw her walking towards me. My deity. She smiled at me and I can't help to smile back. "I'm sorry for being late." She said and sat down her chair that is beside me. "You just came in the right time, My Deity." I answered and made my smile wider. * * * "What are you thinking?" I heard a voice that I really know that I don't have to look back to confirm who it is. "Nothing." I said and stared at the view in front of
Alyia's Point of View. "Ma'am, you have to sign this here and this." A girl with a sweet voice explained to me that made me raise my sight to her. "I'm in the middle of a meeting, can't you see?" I said loudly that made everyone's attention go to me. "Ma'am, it's really urgent. It has been days. It's been stuck inside your drawer for days. I just took the common sense to take it out from there since the company who was asking these is being furious already." She said with her embarrassed voice as she bows down in front of me. "If it's that important then why are you just saying this to me now? Give it to me. Sometimes I really can't understand you." I said with my brows furrowed as I snatch the folder from her. "Now, get out of this building. You're fired." I added while I sign the papers she asked me to sign. I smiled at her and mouthed 'go'. I shooed her away and she just turned her back quickly. Everyone was silenced after that that made me raise a brow. "You're not here to w
Alyia's Point of View. "You know you're naturally beautiful even without those stupid things, right?" Flame suddenly said out of nowhere that made me turn my back at him while I am doing my eyeshadow."You know that I'm too old to believe those sugar-coated words of yours, right?" I said and rolled my eyes as I slightly push him that cause him to let out a chuckle. "C'mon! I'm saying the truth here!" He exclaimed at my back that made me roll my eyes. "Yeah, right." I said and continued what I am doing with my face. He kept on mumbling words saying that it's fine even if I don't wear makeup. He kept on repeating his point that is annoying me big time now. Makeup became my undercover. It makes me hide everything that I don't want the world to see. I'm tired but when I put makeup, my eyes won't show that anymore. It will just uncover it. Makeup is every woman's best friend. If you think that way, you've really become a woman. I know no one is required to put on makeup but every woma
Cosmos' Point of View. I watched the girl as she took a distance from me and closed her eyes. "Tell me when it's already done-" I was about to add up onto that sentence of mine but I was stopped when I saw a screen-like thing that made me see Alyia. Alyia with a guy. I saw that she aged. That's given. The ten years was really a long time so I expected this but I didn't expect that I will see her with a guy. A man to be exact. "Are you okay?" The guy asked her with his brows furrowed. "I want chicken wings." She said and smiled. Even if the years passed by, I still know when she's telling the truth or lying. Her eyes say it all. She may look different since the last day I last saw her but she still has those eyes. Those eyes that reflect every word she's afraid to tell everybody. "You're still a baby. Finish this interview of yours and I'll take you to your favorite restaurant. Now, go." The man answered him that made her smile and let out a sigh. "You're really the best, Flam
