under the oak tree ch 5

Noah Stark was supposed to marry Genevieve’s cousin but was forced into the arms of Genevieve because his future wife's family treated him awfully, like a criminal, and looked down on him as the dirt underneath their boots until they found out who he was. For a moment, Mr. Cornell stared at Noah, and then he looked down at the resume in his hand, it took him a while before the light bulb spiked in his head, and he shouted, “Cease him!” Immediately, a guard fist slammed into Noah's jaw, and another struck him in the face, gashing his lip and causing Leo to scream and cry louder. ‘Glenn,’ Noah thought as his jaw tightened at the sight of his future wife, sensing his only emotion for her was a feeling of annoyance. “A house help… Cousin, your standard has dropped after your husband's death… How can you degrade from a CEO and governor's nephew to this thing right here.” Glenn said, her tone full of disgust. “Can you please stop, Glenn!” Genevieve snapped at her, tired of the constant smug remark from her cousin. “Watch it, Genevieve.” Mrs. Carnell warned her coldly. “My daughter is right. While Glenn is about to get married to the only heir of the Stark family, you are here fooling around with an idler. If word gets out about this, who would want to marry you again? You are already a widow, and now you are sleeping around with a ‘nobody! You should get remarried quickly to save face before any more scandals appear in the press and ruin this family!’”

Adriane was living a life she thought was normal, that was up until her sixteenth birthday. This was when she first turned. She had absolutely no knowledge of what was happening and no prior warning about what she was about to go through. It was excruciatingly painful, the single most horrible experience in her life. But what did the most damage was the look of sheer horror on her parents' faces at the mere sight of her. Even her little sister had the mind to call her a monster confirming Adriane's worst fears. She'd turned into the very thing that plagued her nightmares. That's when she lost it, that's when she broke out and ran. She didn't stop running until she plummeted into a world she never knew existed, a world she is now a part of.
