All Chapters of I am the Queen : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!It was also like this.Gloomy atmosphere. Dark sky. Thunderous clouds.It was like this day that Evangeline discovered her so-called friends were talking behind her back.It was an accident that she found out. She was minding her own business inside the toilet cubicle when her classmates walk in. At first, she didn't know who they were talking about until she heard her name."Evangeline is a dope, huh? Just one word and she'll obediently obey. She even gave me her favorite hairpin.""Yeah. It's exactly as you said. If we befriend her, we'll get all sorts of gifts for free.""I can't believe she thinks of us as friends though. Can't she sense it that we don't want to play with her?""I pity her. She thinks all the students like her. But in truth, they're just sucking up to her so they can get free stuffs. Even the teacher talks about her behind her back.""I mean, even Jennifer that she thinks is her best friend sold her out. Thank you very much, Jennifer. Without you t

Evangeline slammed the door before Eric could say anything else.She didn't know what was happening to her. The moment she realized that they were alone inside her unit, her heart thumped more than its intended specs. She talked more than necessary and she couldn't settle in one place. She wanted to run around!She calmed her erratic heart and stared at her adorable pets who were looking over at her, asking for food."Don't worry. There's no deeper meaning to this. I'm just returning the favor," she mumbled as she went in her room to take a bath and order food.----After almost an hour, Eric went out from the guest room with his clothes attached to his body. He didn't like wearing someone else's clothes. Thus, he first washed his wet garments and dried them as he took a bath.By the time he went out, Evangeline was already seated at the dining table where various foods laid out in vibrant colors. Aromas circulated in all corners that made one salivate. It was like they were celebrati

Evangeline looked behind her shoulder, and as usual, the empty seat of Eric greeted her view. She peered at the door whenever it swung open, but she was always disappointed.Resting her chin on her palm, she looked outside the window. Maybe his late.She woke and went to school early because Eric always goes to school early. He was rarely late.As she looked over the window for Eric's shadow, she ignored the tingling sensation behind her. Cold stares that reseeded the bones. She didn't have to look to know where it came from. It was those two girls who locked her in the storage room yesterday.They were probably wondering how she got herself out and why she didn't report them yet.Well, fortunately for you girls, I fight out in the open. Striking the very fabric that held all your arrogance –– your wealth.Evangeline didn't pay them any more attention. Her whole focus was searching for Eric. Not even a spare to her phone when it vibrated.Diagonally behind Evangeline, Daniel was prete

"So you told him?""Yes. Are you against it?"". . ."". . .""No. He'll find out about it sooner or later. Knowing Asher, he might already have his own investigation.""That's what we thought so too. He was not surprised by the information on the folder.""It's just information. Not enough evidence. We even secretly dissected Aunt Emerald's corpse, but only to find that she was not poisoned and the doctors' diagnoses were correct.""Mm . . ."Axel was uncomfortable with the topic, and decided to change it. "Are you in Frizkiel yet?""Not yet. Where did you send Asher by the way?""In Apricot Country in the south. We have business dealings there that needed his presence, but I bet he'll secretly investigate that woman's identity. Else, why is he so eager to go once he knew that he was assigned there? *sigh . . . He's so easy to read."*chuckle"Father, I have to go, the plane is about to land on Frizkiel.""Mmm . . . Alright."Alvaro leaned on the leather couch, and removed his earpie

Diiing… Dong!Evangeline kept roaming her eyes on the apartment building she was in. She could not say that the building was new, but it was not old either. It was just . . .How do you put it?Simple.Just a two story apartment with modern minimalistic designs. Open metal stairs leading to the second floor. Metal doors decorating the façade and a narrow open pathway leading to the line of doors with only the steel railings as protection from falling to her death.She secretly sighed in relief seeing that the apartment was better from what she imagined. Though the rotting, old materials and the smell of dirt and dump grass stung her nose.She rang the doorbell again and again.It took a whole minute and the door opened. Her eyes tapered at the sight of Eric's groggy face, rosy and dump.He was wearing his pajamas in adorable light blue stripes. He didn't have his glasses and his face was red and sweaty while his hair was a mess.It appeared he just woke up!Eric too was surprised when
