Please, I need you all to understand something about this page.
I was not joking when I said Iām back for good.
This current book deserves more than what is being portrayed right now.
Thereās nothing wrong with liking, sharing, and commenting, so please donāt find it difficult to do so.
If you feel the book isnāt good enough, then you wouldnāt have anything to comment onāand thatās exactly what you guys are doing.
So please, like, comment, and share.
Because if this continues, I will sign this book for a contract and start a new one here, since I will take the low engagement as a sign that itās boring.
This is a slow-burn obsession and toxic relationship.
It also has a Book 2.
This is just Book 1⦠thereās still so much you are not aware of yet, so please donāt discourage me.
If the engagement amazes me, I will post tomorrow. But if it doesnātā¦
Then till Monday.

"Don't finish that word. I regretted not aborting that bastard⦠I don't mind if she dies in this game. She is a bastard," Queen Mother snapped.
Luna bowed her head.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I'm just saying this because Angel is a smart one, and she might find out Twilight is her younger sister," Luna muttered.
Queen Mother glared at her.
"That girl is not my daughter, and she will never be," she mumbled.
"Yes, Queen Mother," Luna muttered.
"Has Kian finally started his whole plan? I can't wait anymore⦠I need my daughter on my side. Angel can't keep wasting her life with that madman," Queen Mother muttered.
"I will get in touch with him, Queen Mother," Luna muttered.
"No⦠don't do that⦠he does not think straight most times. He might kill you first before killing Clyde," Queen Mother said.
"But he has no reason to kill Clyde⦠are you sure he is on our side?" Luna muttered.
"If he doesn't have a reason to kill him⦠I will give him one," Queen Mother smirked.
"Twilight," Luna muttered.
Queen Mother looked at her and scoffed.
"That bastard will have to bear the tragedy," she said.
A shadow that had been eavesdropping silently slipped away into the darkness.
ā
Twilight was staring into space, thinking about the whole thing.
Nothing makes sense to her, not even that... her whole life makes no sense to her.
She has been taken away from the world she knows peace in.
She misses Irish a lot. The only family she has left now is Hailey.
But Hailey is so drawn into the whole fantasy now that she thinks she can be something with that Clyde.
She rolled her eyes just by thinking about that.
"So stupid," she hissed.
"I didn't know you talk to yourself too," someone said behind her, and Twilight looked back to see who it was.
Zoey.
"Sorry... I don't think I know you," Twilight mumbled.
That's a lie.
How can't she know Zoey? She has secretly admired Zoey and Sadie working on a computer like pros.
Twilight has always dreamt of creating so many codes and video games.
While at the orphanage, she sneaks out all the time with Hailey to play a lot of video games.
And she is a top player. From there, she got the idea and interest of making her own codes and getting to create her own video games in the future. Somehow, she misses those times... when things were peaceful.
"You are bold too... I like that. At least you will survive this place with that attitude," Zoey smiled.
Twilight looked at Zoey well.
"She looks extremely young to be in this place. How can someone think killing people is the right thing to do?" Twilight thought.
Zoey coughed, and Twilight glanced at her again.
"I thought I could talk to you... but you seem not to be interested. You look my age... that's why I'm talking casually to you," Zoey said.
Twilight sighed.
"I totally get where you are going... I'm just bored over here," Twilight said, and Zoey bit her lips.
"I get that a lot... come, I know where we can both talk better," Zoey said and made to hold Twilight's hand, but Twilight moved backwards.
"Chill... I'm not going to do anything bad to you. I'm not a bitch like Catalina," Zoey said.
"I know," Twilight chuckled.
"Then come on," Zoey smiled back as she held Twilight's hand and walked away.
Maxine, who was watching everything from afar, scoffed.
"She is so good at getting attention to herself," she mumbled.
"I have to make that Catalina do something soon," Maxine muttered to herself and walked out.
Meanwhile, Zoey took Twilight to her room.
Twilight smiled as she admired Zoey's room.
Everywhere, it's all white, and it looks so classy.
Her computer and her books are all well arranged neatly.
"You like my room?" Zoey muttered, and Twilight looked at her.
"It's cool..." Twilight smiled.
"Can you stop being all weird with me? I have seen how you talk when your friends are around. Can't you be that way with me as well?" Zoey said.
I'm just surprised you are with me... you are always with your friends. I mean, two guys,"
Twilight was explaining when Everest entered the room.
They both looked at him at the same time.
"Oh, I'm sorry... I should have knocked," Everest bit his lips.
Zoey smiled secretly but shook it off immediately.
"Yeah, you should... what if I was dressing?" Zoey said.
"But you were not, kiddo, and besides, I said I'm sorry," Everest smiled at her.
"Well, you should do that again. Stop barging into my room, Everest... and why are you here?" Zoey asked.
"I... was thinking Sadie would be here... I need her to explain some coding to me," Everest mumbled, and Zoey's face fell.
"Why would Sadie be in my room?" Zoey asked.
"You both are hackers... I was thinking she would be here and you guys would be working on tracking those mo*********ng Asian assassins that shot Ellis," Everest said.
"Well, you are wrong... she is not here, and you know we don't work together. We only work together when Clyde or Venom want us to," Zoey said.
Everest nodded slowly.
"I get that... do you want us to go out to get ice cream? I want to go get one for myself," Everest said.
Twilight just watched both of them and couldn't help but smile inwardly.
"No... I am with Twilight, and I don't feel like having ice cream," Zoey mumbled, trying to hide the fact that she was hurt.
Was he looking for Sadie so they could go together? So she is not here, and she is the second choice.
"Wow, you are saying no to ice cream... that's new," Everest muttered.
"I will get it anyways, in case you change your mind," he said and turned to Twilight.
"What flavor do you like, Minnie angel?" he asked, and Twilight frowned.
"It's Twilight," she said.
"Oh, my bad," Everest muttered.
"Yes, call me by my name, and if you are asking me for the flavor I love... I love mint," she said.
"Mint?" Everest said, and Zoey chuckled.
"Yes," Twilight said.
"Okay... cool, bye girls," Everest said and walked out.
Zoey bit her lips slowly and looked at Twilight.
"So what do you love doing?" she asked.
Twilight could sense that Zoey was hurt and she was trying to get over it, so she decided to be a bit free with her then.
"I love reading coding books... I have dreams of becoming a great video game creator," she said.
Twilight nodded her head slowly.
"But I know what we do that is fun," Zoey muttered.
"Hmm, tell me," Twilight chuckled.
"I'm the best at coding, even though Sadie is more smart... I can still help one way or the other," Zoey said.
"You sound like you don't like what you do," Twilight said.
"Yeah... something like that, but we can talk about that later... I will be your teacher, and you will be the student till you get perfect. If you need Sadie's help... we will go to her," Zoey said, and Twilight smiled.
"Thanks, Zoey," Twilight said.
"I didn't do anything... I just hope you get to be a pro soon," Zoey said.
Twilight smiled.
"Well, I hope so too... and I pray I get to get out of this hellish boring place soon," Twilight muttered inwardly
"So you don't mind working together with someone you are not friends with because you want to help me?" Twilight asked.
"Look, I know it is weird with the sudden friendship, but I like you and your gut... the way you taught Catalina a lesson is cool. I love bad bi***es like you, and I also think I want a friend that won't think of me as a child... I'm fu***ng 19," Zoey muttered.
"So you are not friends with the mute girl?" Twilight asked.
"Huh, Sadie? No, she is not my friend. Sadie isn't friends with anyone except for the late Angel," Zoey said.
"Oh," Twilight muttered.
ā
Clydeās room*
Clyde is looking extremely pale but still smoking while staring at the mirror.
He rested his head on the chair he is sitting on.
Catalina barged in almost immediately.
"Clyde," she called and walked to him.
Every year on this day... Clyde does not always look fine. He is always pale and extremely sick. Even before Angel died, he does not always look fine on this particular day, and Angel happened to die on this particular day... it's almost like a bad thing would always occur on that day.
Three years ago, Clyde almost died because he was stubborn to go out for some work while being sick and almost got killed.
Catalina sighed out.
She expected him to be this way.
"Get out," Clyde said calmly.
"What's going on with you... you don't even call me anymore, and why can't you just let me take care of you right now? You are not alwaysā"
Clyde cut in again.
"Not now, Cat... get out," Clyde said again.
Catalina smiled.
She knew why she is here... on this particular day, Clyde is always a different person. He is always somehow softhearted and more calm.
She just knows it can be of advantage to her.
Maybe she can get a taste of him just this once.
She stared at Clyde, trying to get a full look... he looks more hot with his eyes closed.
Is it crazy that she is feeling so wet right now, staring at his pale face?
He looks more handsome while being sick.
"I wish he can get sick like this all the time," Catalina muttered to herself and made to touch his face when Blaire walked in.
"What do you think you are doing?" he asked immediately.
Catalina rolled her eyes and faced him.
"Who are you to ask me that... you should leave while I'm being nice," Catalina said.
"Leave," Blaire muttered.
"And if I don't?" Catalina snapped.
Clyde frowned from his sleep but remained quiet.
Blaire noticed the discomfort in Clyde and glared at Catalina.
He walked fast to Catalina and carried her up.
"Hey... fu***ng put me down!" she screamed at the top of her voice while struggling with Blaire.
Blaire finally carried her out of the room.
Meanwhile, Clyde had fallen into his deep dream as always.
Clydeās eyes are tightly closed... it's like he is busy fighting his dream.
Meanwhile, in his deep sleep... he is currently having a dream that seems like a nightmare to him.
- The dream -
Clyde is staring at the younger version of himself, who is smiling all weirdly at him.
Clyde frowned coldly.
"It's you again," he muttered coldly.
"You still have not changed your cold attitude... maybe if you pay more attention, you can recollect we are both the same," the younger version of himself muttered
Clyde groaned.
"F**k."
"You still have not found who killed Mom and Dad that day... you are wasting more time, and you have enough enemies but are preying for more," young Clyde muttered.
Clyde only stared at his younger self coldly.
He just wants this dream to be over soon.
He closed his eyes, trying to fight it to wake up.
But instead, it's like he is being taken to another memory entirely.
"Bunny?" a little girlās voice muttered.
Clyde opened his eyes as he stared at the little girl in front of him.
"Why are you looking so pale? You are not having enough pancakes?" she smiled at him.
"You are just a memory... I'm sure I will get done with this as well," Clyde mumbled, and the little girl laughed.
"You are trying to be cold. It really does not suit you," she smiled.
"You have a perfect life, right? Don't tell me you ended up miserable like me," Clyde groaned, and she only stared at him.
Clyde made to talk but he felt woozy. Everything started getting blurry, but he kept trying to fight it.
Meanwhile, Blaire is trying to wake him up from his sleep.
"Boss," he called out.
"Boss... Clyde," he called again.
Clyde opened his eyes slowly as tears slipped out of his eyes.
"F**k," Blaire muttered as he touched Clydeās temperature.
He is fu***ng burning up.
"Get me... light," Clyde managed to say.
"You... are not yourself right now," Blaire muttered.
"Just get me Twilight," he said calmly.
Blaire nodded his head.
He really hates this side of Clyde because Clyde always feels so much pain whenever he is softhearted like he is right now.
He walked out immediately.
ā
Catalina's Room
She sat quietly, staring into space.
Maxine walked into the room, licking a sweet.
"It's so nice to see you havenāt destroyed your whole room after Blaire threw you out like a homeless dog," she chuckled.
But Catalina remained quiet.
Maxine smirked.
"Interesting," she grinned.
"What can I do to that Twilight of a girl⦠I want her gone from this clan. I want to make things so miserable for her and watch her die slowly right in front of me," Catalina muttered.
"Now you are thinking straight. I love it," Maxine said.
"I have a plan, and it's going to be extremely perfect⦠now that Clyde will be away for three days," Maxine added.
Catalina smiled.
"Tell me more," she grinned.
ā
Meanwhile, Twilight had just left Zoey's room⦠it was already so late at night.
She didnāt realize how late it was until Everest bought their ice cream.
Today was sort of fun for her. She learned new things and managed to learn so fast that she surprised even herself.
She always saw herself as a very dumb person⦠so how did she learn so fast?
She stared at the books Zoey gave her while walking toward the maid dorm.
She didnāt notice when someone suddenly pulled her aside and used a cloth to cover her nose and mouth.
She tried to struggle, but everything happened so fast.
She could only feel herself getting dizzy.
Am I getting kidnapped again?
"My life is overā¦" she thought weakly as darkness slowly consumed her.
ā
Twilight opened her eyes slowly as a bucket of water was poured on her.
"Hmmā¦" she groaned, feeling discomfort as she realized she was tied to a chair.
Both her hands and legs were bound tightly.
"No⦠no⦠this isn't happening again. Did I really get kidnapped?" she cried silently.
She looked around but couldnāt find who poured the water.
She struggled against the ropes.
"Let go of me⦠please, let me go!" she screamed.
"Why are you doing this to me? I'm not the fu***ng Angel or whatever you call her⦠I'm Twilight. Please, let me go!" she cried out at the top of her voice.
"Careful, wifey⦠you should calm the f**k down."
A familiar voice spoke as he stepped out of the shadows, watching her the whole time.
Kianās face came into view, and Twilight stared at him.
No doubt⦠Kian was extremely handsome, almost as handsome as Clyde. He looked so hot, but unlike Clydeās calm, baby face⦠Kian had a strange, unsettling smile.
"Wh⦠who are you?" Twilight asked.
"I'm your husband⦠the one and only Kian," he muttered.
"Are you perhaps crazy like Clyde? I'm not Angel⦠I'm Twilight. So donāt fu***ng hold me hostage. If Clyde finds out Iām here, heās going to be fu***ng upset!" Twilight yelled as tears slipped down her face.
Kian chuckled.
"I hate the fact that you're praising him right now. Do you think Clyde would come over here to save you? What do you think this is⦠some stupid movie?" he said, stepping closer.
"I'm not praising him⦠IāI⦠please, take a step back!" Twilight screamed.
Kian frowned.
"That bastard touched you?" he scoffed.
Twilight quickly shook her head.
"Please stop this madness and let me go. I am not your wife⦠I'm just 19," she hiccuped.
Kian groaned.
Her cries turned him on.
He walked closer and held her face still.
"I really hate sharing⦠and I'm sure he hasn't done this yet. Iāll be happy to ease your pain," he said.
Twilight struggled as he suddenly smashed his lips against hers.
She shook her head, fighting, but his grip was too strong.
Her strength didnāt match his.
Tears streamed down her face as she helplessly endured it.
She closed her eyes tightly⦠then did the only thing she could think of.
She bit his lips hard until they bled.
Kian smirked and pulled away, staring at her teary eyes.
"Good thing you marked your hubby so fast, wifey."
"Now you are mine."

GENRE/TAGS: Dark Romance, Erotica, Mafias, Good Girl, Blood-shed, B**M, Toxicity and Revenge.
PROLOGUE
By: Maavy A.
ā
Life at the orphanage wasn't a bed of roses, but it was the safest and most peaceful place for me.
I was familiar with everyone there. I had a best friend who loved me more than anything in the world, and the reverend sisters who cared for us, treating us like pearls plucked from a mermaidās treasure.
The orphanage was calm, and I loved it there. But one fateful night, tragedy struck the small home I grew up ināwhen unknown gunmen attacked.
They brutally murdered innocent children and the sisters who were like mothers to me.
I couldnāt do anything.
Itās not like I could.
I watched them from my hiding place as they slaughtered us... one by one. But when my best friend was taken hostage, I was forced to come out of hiding to save her.
Two eyes landed on meāeyes that looked like the devilās. One has cold, dark brown eyes and the other, a piercing gray eyes.
They looked at me like they wanted to rip off my dress and devour me rawālike I was their next meal.
Before I knew it, I was dragged into a dark world I knew nothing about.
A world where killing is accepted. A world where blood is spilled daily, like itās normal.
I want to escape...
Go back to the quiet world I once knew.
But thereās no escape for me. Not when they have their eyes on me.
They claim me.
They desire me.
They rip off my dress.
They bite my skin.
And I canāt do a thing about it.
Will I ever escape this torment?
Or will I find myself falling for the two hot devils?
š„Dark. Spicy. Dangerous...... This isn't your typical love story, Lovies.
Stay tuned⦠if you dare. šš

CHAPTER 27&28
By; Maavy.... A
ā
Clyde stared at his phone blankly.
āNo information on Twilight,ā Satrix said
Clyde didnāt look up.
āSearch again.ā
Silence. Thenā
āNo trace found.ā
Clyde frowned.
No information?
The room dimmed as the screens lit upā
lines of codes running like veins across the walls.
āExpand search radius,ā Clyde said calmly.
The system obeyed.
āNo information on Twilight,ā it said again
Clydeās jaw tightened.
āThatās impossible, give me more reason to get interested in you doll"he mumbled
Blaire walked in almost immediately.
Clyde didnāt look up at him. Instead, he stared at the information right in front of him.
Blank.
āWe need to go tomorrow. Thereās an issue, and we might take up to four days this time,ā Blaire said.
āI wanted to ask if you will be taking her,ā Blaire added.
Clydeās eyes got cold.
Blaire understood that and walked out of the room.
ā
Ellisās room
Somehow, after his treatment from Violet,
they both got to talking more often.
Everest checked on him not quite long ago.
It has been three days. Zoey still has not found any means to see him, and he did not think on it, but somehow it hurts.
āWhy are you always here instead of seeing your lame brother?ā Ellis muttered, chewing on a chocolate.
Violet glared at him.
āDo you have to talk about peopleās relationship all the time⦠dude?ā Violet said
āSorry, but you act all weird with him all the time, and itās so annoying,ā Ellis said, and Violet bit on her lower lip.
āIf itās annoying⦠why are you stuck with me here⦠and trying to avoid Zoey?ā Violet smirked.
āIām not avoiding her, but can you please stop mentioning her name?ā Ellis said.
āYou know she didnāt ask you to get shot on his behalf⦠you decided to,ā Violet said.
Ellis chuckled.
āWait, what do you think is going on hereā¦? Whoa, definitely not the love s**t. Iām not getting involved in some stupid love triangle.ā
āSo why did you do that?ā Violet asked.
āShe fu***ng cries so much, and itās fu***ng annoying⦠I just didnāt want her to cry this time.ā
āI donāt have feelings for her⦠I see her as a kid,ā Ellis said.
Violet chuckled.
"Zoey is a kid, but she is hot and cute.
Ellis grinned.
āWhy donāt you just go and annoy your brother instead of being here?ā Ellis muttered, and Violet burst into laughter.
Ellis threw something at her.
āF**king leave,ā Ellis muttered.
Violet only laughed more.
Zoey, who was watching everything from outside, only sighed.
She looked away.
Thereās no way anything going on between Violet and Ellis would affect her.
She only has feelings for Everest, but she is feeling sorry for yelling at Ellis and she needs to apologize
She took a look at Ellis once more before walking away
ā
The kitchen*
Twilight had just finished taking care of Clydeās room, and luckily for her, he was not in throughout her cleaning.
āI donāt want to see that monsterās face after all,ā she said while looking for Hailey and Giselle.
After a while of searching,
she saw Hailey, who was busy cooking something.
Twilight smiled and walked over to her.
āWhat are you cooking?ā she asked, and Hailey smiled.
āOne has to know you are back due to this food of a thing,ā Hailey muttered.
Twilight smiled.
āOf course Iām tired⦠I was cleaning all day, and that monsterās villa is just so big,ā Twilight said, and Hailey chuckled.
āWhere is Giselle?ā Twilight asked immediately.
āUhmmm, she has not been talking to me all day, and I tried my best to cheer her up, but she is not saying much,ā Hailey said.
Twilight looked at the other side of the kitchen where Giselle was seated.
āI will try as well,ā she mumbled, and Hailey nodded slowly.
Twilight walked closer to Giselle, and when she finally got to her, shesat down quietly.
āWhy are you so quiet today? Is something wrong?ā Twilight asked.
Giselle looked at Twilight⦠and burst into tears.
āHeyā¦ā
Twilight mumbled and hugged her while patting her back slowly.
Hailey noticed and joined them immediately.
Giselle continued crying softly.
āShhhhh, what is wrong, Elleā¦? Why are you crying?ā Twilight asked again.
āItās⦠itās Angel⦠death anniversary today⦠itās been two years now since I last saw her smile, how she made everything so perfect and took care of me⦠I miss my big sister so much,ā Giselle sniffed.
Twilight felt something shift inside her.
She closed her eyes while patting Giselleās back softly.
āItās⦠itās alright, Elle⦠please look at me,ā Twilight said.
And Giselle managed to look at her but didnāt stop tearing up.
āYou⦠you all said I look a lot like Angel⦠right? I know I can never take the place of the person you loved so much with all your heart⦠she is your sister⦠I canāt take her place no matter what I do and how I do it⦠but you can take me as your sister, right?ā Twilight said.
Giselle sobbed and shook her head slowly.
āShe⦠she also said I should take her as my sister when we were young,ā Giselle said.
Haileyās eyes narrowed.
āWhat do you mean?ā she asked.
āAngel isnāt my biological sister⦠Mom adopted her when we were young⦠it was peaceful, not until she started developing feelings for Clyde,ā Giselle said.
Twilightās eyes widened.
āShe is not your sister?ā she said.
Giselle shook her head.
āI need to be alone,ā she said and ran out almost immediately.
Twilight made to run after her, but Hailey held her back.
āLet her be for a while⦠she needs it,ā Hailey said.
āBut donāt you think this whole thing is a messā¦? Itās a total mess⦠the person they claim she looks like is an unknown person⦠if she is not Angelās sister⦠who is she then?ā Twilight said, holding her head.
āI think what we should worry about is making Giselle okay, and we can talk about that later,ā Hailey said.
āAll this is Clydeās fault⦠Iām sure of it⦠he is bad news,ā Twilight said.
āLightāā
āI donāt know what you are thinking about or having this fantasy⦠I and Clyde will never be anything⦠please, this is not a novel⦠I just want to get out of this place and have my own life,ā Twilight said and walked out.
Hailey sighed.
āItās too much on her⦠itās understandable,ā she mumbled.
ā
Sadieās room*
She took a picture out⦠a picture of Angel and Clyde together.
Clyde might be a cold-hearted person, but only Angel has seen the bright side of himā
the side no one in this world has ever seen him in⦠maybe apart from his parents.
Not until she was torn apart from the love of her life.
She can only watch him from a distance and not get too close to him.
That was the order from her mom⦠because she canāt afford to lose her a second time.
āHow can I tell you or make you know Iām alive, crybaby⦠that your Angel is right next to you?ā Sadie muttered with tears in her eyes.
Of course, she is Angelāthe girl everyone in the clan thinks is a traitor⦠the girl everyone thinks Clyde put an end to her life.
And meanwhile, itās nothing of the sort⦠Clyde can never harm her.
He planned to discuss something serious with her that night.
ā
Flashbacks ā 2 years ago
Angel was putting on a blue gown while checking her makeup once again.
āAre you going to keep on checking yourself out or go for the dinner already?ā Giselle mumbled, not taking her eyes off the novel she was reading.
āWhy not look at me for once, Gisee⦠I want to look perfect for the date,ā Angel smiled again.
āHe has still not told you how he feels about you, rightā¦? Why are you dressing up so much? You are getting too ahead of yourself,ā Giselle mumbled.
Angel chuckled.
āHe wrote me a letter instead of texting me, dear sis⦠he asked me out on a date in a romantic way,ā Angel smiled again.
Giselle chuckled.
āI canāt believe you are so in love with a cold ice⦠his face is almost like a dead personās face⦠he does not smile⦠and you wish to be with someone like that,ā she said.
āDonāt you read novelsā¦? You read Maavyās books, rightā¦? Skye was once cold as well⦠Neevah brought out the warm side of him,ā Angel said.
āThereās a difference between fantasy and real life⦠somehow I donāt feel the connection between you two,ā Giselle said.
And Angel frowned.
āWhat do you mean by that?ā she asked.
āI mean⦠it looks like itās one-sided⦠itās obvious, but youāā
āCan you just keep quiet, Giselleā¦? Please, just keep quiet⦠I gave you the right to be my sister a long time ago, but instead of you being happy for me⦠you want me to let go of someone I have loved for so many years.ā
Giselle cut in.
āLoving someone truly does not necessarily mean you have to be with the person⦠sometimes true love means letting goāā
āBe quiet!ā Angel snapped.
āIām leaving⦠and I donāt need your so-called blessings,ā Angel hissed and walked out.
Giselle made to follow her, but Sadie showed up.
Note⦠the real Sadie.
Giselle bit her lips.
āI think I made her mad⦠I donāt have anything against Clyde, but I donāt know why I feel he sees my sister as just his friend⦠I mean, best friends⦠but my sister is just so madly in love with him⦠please, can you go after her? If I do, she might get mad at me, but you are her best friend,ā Giselle said.
Sadie chuckled. She used sign language to talk.
āI know you are trying to protect her⦠but Clyde canāt hurt Angel⦠she is safe,ā Sadie said.
Giselle grew up knowing both Sadie and Angel as best friends, so she understands sign language very well.
āI know she is safe, but what if Clyde is about to tell her he has no feelings for herā¦? She will be heartbroken⦠I donāt think she will be able to take it,ā Giselle said.
āI just have a bad feeling about all this,ā she added.
Sadieās eyes narrowed.
She looked at Giselle wellā¦
Something....... is not right.
āI will follow her,ā Sadie responded with sign language again.
āThank you...and pls be careful...she won't like you ruining her date,ā Giselle replied, and Sadie nod slowly and left.
Flashbacks end*
Angel stared at herself in the mirror⦠it was never the intention of getting Sadieās face.
But⦠that night was indeed terrible⦠she was almost burnt alive in a room.
She was sure it was a girl who tried to kill her⦠and when the real Sadie wanted to save her,
she was locked into the same room along with her.
She was badly injured⦠Sadieās whole body was burnt, but her face was not.
But Angelās face got so burnt⦠the real Sadie died in the fire that day.
Angelās real mom had to fly Angel out of the country to give her the best treatment, but she was given the dead Sadieās face.
Everyone thinks itās Angel who died that night, but it was Sadie.
And Angel got to live as Sadie⦠because she still has no idea who tried to kill her that night.
But she understands one thing⦠whoever was trying to kill her that night was trying to stop her from seeing Clyde.
And the person is so smart and must not be underestimated.
āNo one must find out⦠you are alive, Angel⦠not even Clyde, or thatās when your whole attempt at trying to be close to him ends,ā Angelās momās voice said in her head.
Sadie wiped the tears on her face.
She canāt even be close to the person she loves⦠for how long will this continue?
She badly wants to go to Clyde⦠hug him and tell him how much she loves him, and wants to hear him say it back.
Ever since her so-called death⦠Clyde got worse in being cold.
And thatās her answer⦠Clyde definitely feels something for her⦠and whoever is out there is trying to tear them apart and end her life.
Then Angelās mind went to Twilight.
āAnd who is sheā¦? Why does she look so much like me?ā Angel mumbled.
āWhat if⦠Clyde starts liking her instead?ā Angel thought.
No⦠no, no, that canāt happen to her⦠never will that happen.
While thinking hardā¦her phone beeped.
āCome over.ā
Angel read the message and rolled her eyes.
She picked up her car keys and walked out.
ā
Queen Mother's clanā
Queen Mother just finished making a phone call.
She looked at Luna, who passed her the glass of wine.
"Any news on Kian?" she asked.
"He has not said anything about what he is planning, Queen Mother," Luna muttered.
"As expected," Queen Mother grinned.
She was about to talk again when Angel walked in.
"Why am I here, Mom? I thought we agreed not to see each other till we find out who tried to kill me," Angel said.
Queen Mother scoffed.
"Why are you wasting your life in this stupid clan? You have a whole life here in this place⦠to treat yourself as a princess, but you want to be there and die like a chicken," Queen Mother snapped.
"I love Clyde, Mom⦠I love him, and I know he loves me too," she snapped back.
"Love?⦠You are just obsessed with that madman. You are obsessed with a psychopath, and I'm sure he is the one who planned to get you burnt alive two years ago," Queen Mother said.
"Why must I explain myself to you all the time, Mom? Clyde didn't try to kill me⦠he⦠he⦠he loves me. He can't hurt me," Angel said with wide eyes while smiling to herself.
Queen Mother chuckled.
"Let's say he loves you⦠you think he will still love you with the face you have right now? When there's someone else who has the younger version of your real face and is more beautiful?" Queen Mother smirked.
Angel chuckled.
"She might look like me a bit, Mother, but she is not me," Angel replied.
"I heard she is Clyde's personal maid now⦠let's watch her melt him. I heard you did a bad job doing that," Queen Mother said.
And Angel held her head as she screamed out.
"Stop it!" she screamed.
"I won't listen to your rubbish⦠Clyde is mine and mine alone. He loves just me, and I will prove it to you, Mother," Angel said and walked out immediately.
Queen Mother sighed.
"Queen Mother, do you think your plan will work out? Turning both of them against each other⦠will that bring Angel to our side?" Luna asked.
"I will do anything to bring out the bad side of Angel, no matter what⦠I am her mother. I know her best," she said.
"But Twilightā"
"Don't finish that word. I regretted not aborting that bastard⦠I don't mind if she dies in this game. She is a bastard," Queen Mother snapped.
