Lucille’s P.O.VJust as I was planning to push Valentina to the ground again, she turned on her heels and ran away. Travis was right, this was the best time to disgrace her if I wanted to, and the perfect time to make her hate Ethan, hereby destroying their relationship for good. At first, I didn’t believe it when Travis told me about her real father, and I also thought it was strange that she had never brought any of her parents to any events, even when it was necessary; she was always giving one excuse after the other. I had to do an intensive search to confirm Travis's speculations, I was going not only against Valentina but also Ethan, I wouldn’t like to be the laughing stock instead and all that was possible with my father’s connection. As soon as I was able to confirm it, I posted the proof on the school platform, just to make sure the bitch doesn’t lie, and just as I thought she fucking tried to deny it. The other students weren’t fazed because they already knew the truth

Valentina’s P.O.V“What the hell are you all doing?” I heard a very familiar voice, it boomed with authority making everyone stop what they were doing, I winced in pain, I dropped to the ground my face was filled with confusion but I knew I had to press down against the side of my belly, that is if I didn’t want to die yet. “Have you all lost your minds?”I glanced at Ethan and I quickly wiped the blood away from my nose, he started walking towards us, both of his hands were balled into a fist and his jaw was clenched… he seemed to be angry because he was glaring at us, a painful moan escaped my lips and I glanced at the palm of my hand, it was filled with blood.“Why are there a bunch of unreasonable adults doing this to a child?” He reached the bottom of the stairs and yelled again, “Where is the fucking security? Kick these psychopaths out of here at once!”“Unreasonable?” The older woman who held on to my collar previously, the one who called the name of her daughter, Lilian. I gr

Ethan’s P.O.VMy eyes widened when I noticed the red liquid streaming from underneath the door, my eyes narrowed down at it, and then my mouth hung open. “Valentina…” I whispered to myself because I hadn’t heard her voice in the last two seconds, I reached my fingers to the floor, inspecting the liquid to confirm that it was truly blood. “Valentina!!” Her name escaped my lips in a terrified shriek and I got up immediately, leaning into the door trying to hear even the slightest movement from the other side of the door, but it was eerily quiet.“Valentina, if you can hear me please say something,” I yelled as I banged on the door even harder than the first time. “Valentina, are you hurt?”There was still nothing, I knew I needed to break down the door, because if the blood belonged to her, then it was terrible because she had lost a lot of them already. I took a few steps away from the door and kicked it a few times before it finally fell off its hinges.My heart fell at the sight o

Travis’s P.O.V“Are you ready to answer me?” Ethan asked me with a small frown, his eyes were glaring daggers at me, and the look on his face was beyond satisfying so I smirked in return.“I thought I had always stated my plans,” I answered even more confidently, and Ethan nodded as he neared me. “Yes,” He answered soberly, “Except for the fact that you were the one who stabbed Valentina.” My eyes widened for a bit, I didn’t know he would catch up on this so fast, so I burst into laughter, and Ethan’s face wrinkled up in irritation. “I told you once before that if I don’t have Valentina, no one else can, this is the plot of the book and it is only right we follow it.” I answered, gritting my teeth in frustration, “Even if I have to kill her myself, I would do anything to make sure she doesn’t end up with you.” The words barely left my lips when Ethan suddenly grabbed me by the collar of my jacket and swung his left fist at my face, it was too fast and too sudden, I didn’t h

Ethan’s P.O.V“So you don’t have much time left?” Nathan finally calmed down and we sat inside my car, he had finally gotten to understand me. “Then how do you intend to save Valentina, when you only have thirty years left? You could die.”“There must be something I could do to help,” He suggested his brows knitting in worry. “Why don’t I offer my lifeline this time around?”I paused for a while, that was true, but I don’t think a lifeline from someone who isn’t one of the main characters would be appreciated; however he is still a child, and I didn’t even know if he had much time.I could never allow him to do something like that.“No,” I concluded out loud and his face fell. “I can’t allow you to do something so dangerous.”“But Valentina is my sister.” He argued even further. “At this point you need help, and I am willing to give it a try.”“No.” I declared.“But why?” His tone fell at the end. “Why do you go so far for my sister? She doesn’t even trust you so well, but you are ris
