All Chapters of Beauty From Ashes : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Natasha's POV Layla was already waiting outside for me by the time I was done having breakfast with my family. “Huh?, Why didn't you come in?” I asked as a frown worked way onto my features. She sighed and pulled my arm, as she started to walk away. “Ugh, how can you even eat? I'm so nervous. That's why I didn't go in.” She paused to give me a look. “But seriously though, how can you still eat so much?” She asked, doing a full body sweep on me with her eyes. I rolled my eyes and gave her a pointed look. I was used to Layla's side comments and suggestive statements about my size. And I knew she didn't say it to hurt me but it was still so damn annoying, because well…it always reminded me of what a perfect figure she had. I stared dreamily at her right now, eyeing the crop top that showed off her belly that she was rock

Natasha's POV We were immediately catapulted into another world. The school was at the start of town where the Upps lived. So, it was the first sign of civilization and extravagance one got to witness when they came to Upper Side of Delengade. The massive domes and exquisite structures of the school wrret manned with gold and marble. I had never seen so much gold in one place before. Everything from the gates of the school screamed opulence. The students walking around the school had skins like milk, you know the ones you only saw on celebrities. They had on outfits I could only dream about having and the clothes screamed wealth. Their postures were perfect, their gazes haughty, sharp and condescending. Neither Layla or I had the courage to ap

Natasha's POV I liked her already. We were going to be good friends. “What about you? Let me guess, you want a better life for yourself and a chance to bring equality to Delengade?” She asked with a smirk. My mouth fell open as I blinked severally. How… She rolled her eyes. “Oh come on. Every sub in here wants the exact same thing.” She said with a laugh. Well, that was probably true. “Damn. I feel exposed. That's unfair. Now, I wish I came because I wanted to look cool.” I whined. She laughed. “Well, that plan isn't exactly working. Since they all ignore me. But it's better than being picked on.” Her expression turned more serious and her eyes shone with worry. “That's the worse thing that could happen to a sub here at Delengade. No matter what you do, you can't let an Elite notice you.”

NATASHA'S POV The student looked away immediately, his face striken with fear and irritation.He whispered into the ears of the guy beside him and in seconds, all of them had stopped their chattering and those going through their phones stopped.Wow. Who was he? How did he command such respect? “Who's he?” I mouthed at Patty.She leaned in and whispered into my ear, a smile on her face.“He's a Melton.” My brows furrowed as surprise and confusion took hold of me.A Melton? The only Meltons left were Peter and his grandmother. “A Melton? Is there another Melton in Delengade?” I asked her.She shook her head as we watched him walk to the front of the class.“I'll explain later. He's very strict.” She whispered and leaned away from me.I sat up straighter and fixed my eyes on the teacher. I watched, amused as every one of the students sat straighter and I even saw f
