Revenge Of my Ex- Mother In Law의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

XAVIER'S POV⁠●⁠●⁠●⁠●A crunch of chips turned out to be the only steady sound in the living room where I was, seated at the dining table which was having my system on it. With my hand typing on the keys, I dug into a packet of snacks with the other, bringing it closer to my lips and throwing it into my mouth to munch on. While the light from the screen flashed into my eyes, I looked into the unfinished applications and tabs I had refreshed far too many times to count. Behind me was Lisa, still in her stunning white flowing wedding dress, pacing to and fro with a worried expression. “You're being too restless for real. I'm afraid you might even ruin the floor if you keep on going back and forth nonstop.” I talked out of concern, eyes still fixed on the screen. “Excuse you?!!!” She snapped. “How can you just sit there and chew whatever, acting like you know absolutely nothing about the mess I'm right in.” She added, and before I could take my eyes off the screen, she had left the sp

PRISCILLA’S POV ⁠●⁠●⁠●⁠●The school bus slowed down in front of an apartment building, its brakes making sounds like the bus itself was tired of dropping myself and the rest of the pupils on it to their various places. The door slid open and I stepped down carefully, my shoes touching the pavement. I adjusted my backpack on my shoulders, watching the bus zoom off with dust curling behind it. I stood at a spot for a moment to stare at the road, before turning to walk towards the building. When I reached the door, I pushed it wide open to step inside. With the smell of food filling my nostrils and making me feel hungry at the same time, I caught sight of mom in the kitchen. “Mom!” I called softly, dropping my bag and lunchbox near a pillar in the living room to walk toward her, who stood there in the kitchen in her apron stirring slowly, while humming under her breath at the same time. She turned at once, her face lighting up the moment she saw me. A pot of rice was boiling softly

KILLER'S POV⁠●⁠●⁠●⁠● One of the hotel staff members popped out of nowhere all of a sudden, clipboard in hold. “Excuse me….I need…” He started, but just before he could finish, his words were cut off by me. “I'm sorry, but we're just about heading out. We might not be able to listen to what you’ve got to say right now. We're probably running late for a friend's birthday party event.” I interrupted smoothly, though in a polite tone. My second chimed in at once, “Oh yes! She's absolutely right. We have exactly where we ought to be at the moment. It is very important and it's not something we'd likely want to miss for anything.” The so-called staff member frowned but stepped aside, not wanting to face our confrontation. Once he was out of our way already, we hurried down the stairs, bags clutched tightly with sweets dropping from our temples.“Do you think anyone saw us?” My second asked me in a whisper. “Not a soul…aside the chap who….” I sounded more like I was super sure. “And e

RHIANNA'S POV⁠●●⁠●⁠●The drums were hit hard,its slow beat bringing rhythms to the ears as the priests lifted their hands, signaling the final rite. My mother, the late Empress, lay still upon the bier, draped in white and gold with her crown resting above her folded hands.“Lift!” One of the priests said quietly. The pallbearers tightened their grips, muscles tensing as they prepared to carry her out into the light for burial when a voice suddenly came out of nowhere. “Stop!!!” I turned sharply, finding the being to be none other than Lilda. She stood at the edge of the hall in a wrinkled dress as usual, hair half-loose and eyes wild with fear.“I can't do this anymore.” She cried out, murmurs erupting instantly. “What is she saying?” “Has she lost her mind?” “What's going on?”“Is she trying to tell us something we don't know?” “Take her away!” I ordered sharply. “The rite will not be interrupted.” Two servants then stepped forward to grip her arms, Lilda shaking them both

ETHA'S POV ⁠●●●●I stood before the mirror, tugging my blazers into place and smoothing the creases on it. My hair was neatly pulled back, with my shoes already on. This was going to be my first time stepping into the tertiary institution for lectures with other students in the lecture room and I just couldn't wait. “Priscilla!!!” I called out to her, glancing at the walk clock in my room. “Breakfast is ready.” I added, only to get no response from her. I grabbed my phone to check its screen, letting out nothing but a tired sigh as I grabbed my tote bag, stepping out of the room to move towards the staircase.“Priscilla!!!” I called louder, reaching the last stair and then the living room. A few seconds later, I heard slow footsteps dragging along the stairs. There she was anyway, appearing at the top of the staircase rubbing my sleepy eyes, her hair messy and her uniform not on her. “Good morning sleepyhead.” I teased with a smile. “Why aren't you dressed for school?” “School i
