Four girls entered with their snappy steps, their heels clicking on the restroom floor, and their vulgar high scented perfume just percolated into the restroom as they walked in. "We don't have time shitting with you guys. Move on," Bethany said annoyingly. Her two fingers just pressed to the tip of her nose because the smell of those girls wafted and gave her a headache.But looking at Bethany's daring, Alexy and her group blazed in anger. Their painted cat eyes were scrunched at them and their steps become violent from stylish as they approached them.
"How dare you? Do you know how much our perfume costs?" Rinnai opened her mouth first, who was closely related to Alexy, as they were cousins.
"Well, ours from Gucci and Channel, and they smell great," Danny smugly said, not because they wanted to talk about the brand, but because they gave a quick reminder that Rinnai and Alex's perfumes are not from the same brand as this group was obsessed with parading brand names.
"Huh, ours are customized by Versace," Rinnai again said where Alexy gritted her teeth in envy, looking at Isabella because of the beauty she has, especially without wearing makeup.
"Shit man, I was thinking of purchasing Versace but now I've changed my mind because they are producing shit by taking shit suggestions from some people who do not know how to smell good," Bethany said, and they laughed together with all their heart as they were enjoying insulting Alexy's group.
"Good one, Beth," Danny praised.
"keep on laughing, bitches. What about this middle chick? We know you two have money. That's why you are flaunting, but what about your best friend? I was wondering how you two of you made friends with this one, although she has an appearance but doesn't have class and a scholarship girl should be with scholarship one. Don't you think, Bella?" Rinnai again poked, but this time on Isabella because she was the only one who was not as rich as them.
"Talk to us, idiots," Danny fumed, while she tightened her fist to punch this woman's face. They can hear anything, but they won't tolerate it if someone puts Isabella in a tizzy. She was about to step forward when Isabella hold her fist and stopped her from doing something which was not worth it.
"You don't have to know why she is with us, but one thing I can confidently say is, she smells pure and heaven, which you won't get in perfume. But you can ask Versace to make something as pure and heavenly as I describe, but don't forget to mention that you got the smell from Isabella." Bethany's tone wasn't polite. With a lot of ridicule, she spat on Alexy's group.
It was also necessary because Danny was a short-tempered girl. So there was a high chance that she could beat this group in the restroom without mercy.
"Let's go," Isabella murmured. Throughout the conversation, she didn't even say a single word because she didn't like this kind of thing. If someone disrespected her, she was just totally okay with that. And that didn't mean she was submissive, but because they don't deserve her time.
When someone disrespected you by calling you poor, there was nothing you could do because you can't be rich overnight. That is the reason she always kept her mouth shut, and she is confident that one day her position will answer everyone's questions.
Suddenly Alexy stopped right in front of Isabella, her overly exaggerated cat eyes narrowed at her, the hatred perfectly displayed all over her face, and all because of Bella's beauty.
"Our college is again participating in a day-night football tournament. Also, I heard there will be your long-time foe Elizabeth is taking part with her team. What about you? Are you still thinking of cowering behind your friend?" Alexy quipped Isabella's long-standing pain, which she had kept hidden for all these years.
It fell on Isabella's head like thunder, and she froze on the spot. Her tears quickly gathered in her eyes, but they didn't flow. She took a step forward, narrowing the little distance between them. She looked straight at Alexy with her red eyes as they turned red in emotion.
"You will see me on the playground if you are playing my opposite. And on the playground, you know you are nothing against me as well as Elizabeth. She is not my enemy and I don't think she is my competitor," Isabella spat every word on Alexy with a stern tone and left.
On the other hand, Bethany and Danny pushed the other three who were with Alexy and walked out, following Isabella.
"Bitches got perfect slaps on their faces."
Hearing them, the entire group gritted their teeth while Alexy held the basin and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were ruthless and full of brutality. Also, there was a determination to take revenge on Isabella. ★★ "Oh my God! Bella, you are savage, but why didn't you slap her?" Danny said in a beaming voice. She didn't think Isabella will strike back because she hates to meddle in nonsense things."Can we go to Hailey's house?" Isabella asked as she stopped and turned. Her eyes were talking a lot. Bethany and Danny were well aware of it.
"Yes, after the bonfire. We always said and we say that Bella that was not your fault. Even Hailey agreed, and don't let your guilt overwhelm you because that thing didn't happen because of you. It was pre-planned," Danny said as her arms reached to hold Isabella for a hug.
"I know, and one day I will discover the conspiracy. I will not let Hailey's sacrifice go in vain," Isabella said in a firm voice. She hasn't forgotten that whole incident that was conspired by someone. It was just she was lucky, but Hailey was not.
"Yes, let's go now," said Bethany, hugging both of them and patting their backs.
After that three of them walked at a slow pace, not in a hurry to go to the bonfire. Also, Isabella got a call from her father. He inquired if Bella needed a ride, but she gushed about their bonfire, also added that her friends would stay at her home tonight and they wished to eat chili mushrooms. And her papa gladly accepted it.There was a towering figure, looking outside at them, from a casement window. His hot breath fell on the glass making it blur, but the haze in his mind have gathered after encountering Bella was something hard for him to ignore.
At that moment, he was occupied with running thoughts. Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Sir, are you coming to the office? Someone is here to meet you who said he is your distant brother." a phone call Alexander got was something Alexander wasn't expecting, and he wasn't interested in going because he had planned something else for tonight. There was also a thing he despised if someone interfere in his life that's why he needed to go."Well, ask him to wait in my chamber. I will be there within a minute," said Alexander in a stern tone that was clearly annoyed. As he hung up the call, he turned and looked at the scattered table and dialed a number again.
"Come to my room."
"Yes, sir." The voice trembled while answering, and the man fell on his seat as soon as the beep reached his ear.
"What is happening? We approached him earlier so that he would come and bring more popularity to his college, but who knew this time he would come, but with an enormous shock," the principal held his hair in despair. His days were going smoothly, but with this devil, he is confident that from now on, good days will not come in his life.

As Bethany and Danny said, the place was freezing, as if it was a winter's night. Everyone was circling the bonfire, and those who were not around the bonfire were immersed in making out.Bethany wore a denim jacket while Danny wore a shrug and Isabella covered her exposed arm with a scarf that Danny gave her. Although she offered her first shrug, Isabella said she was fine with the scarf as she wasn't as cold as them.
"I am freezing, let's go near the Bonfire. I'll be frozen chick right here," Bethany said, her voice quivering just in a few seconds of coming here.
"Yes, this damn place is freezing like Antarctica. And these dickheads don't know why every time they choose this place. Bella, how are you not bothered?" Danny said and placed her hand on Isabella's arm.
"Wow, Bella, your body temperature is normal."
"Damn, girl. Danny is right," Bethany commented after Danny, and Isabella rolled her eyes at them. "Allow us to stick with you." Two frozen chickens clutched Isabella's arm and came to the fire.The fire was burning tall and round it all known faces they could see, some of them smiling at them and the majority completely ignored them, which was expected as they do not know them well.
Three of them sat near the Bonfire. also, their place was less crowded and that was what they wanted. Although Bethany and Danny came to enjoy the fire, waiting to have a drink, Isabella was waiting for Noah. Just then, a hand closed Isabella's eyes from behind and the smell was familiar.

★★★ 15 days later; Sunday; The happiest song had been sung by birds as the morning had emerged with a fresh zest for life. In preparation for the day, the flower garden had blossomed. Winter began, so it was a little cold but the day was beautiful. A small, lovely woman moved her body on a large queen bed while groans escaped her mouth. She gradually opened her eyes. She noticed the white roof as her blurry vision began to fade. Her gaze was drawn to the light coming in through the bay window. She raised her hand and touched her face in bafflement. She mumbled, “Am I alive?” “How can I let you die?” Alexander's sudden voice jolted Bella's heart from her ribcage. She looked at the door and saw him standing there with a glass of water. “Alex,” she choked her words. Alexander smiled with his teeth open and went up to the bed. His purple eyes gave Bella the same old feeling. She got emotional and happy. Even though she wanted to ask if he was real, Bella could not able to utter any
★★★Alexander was told to retreat by the demons watching over the village. They bowed their heads to the king but were powerless to defy Bael's command."I'd prefer not to kill my army. Thus, move aside. If you obey my commands, you can rest assured that no force will use its might against you," Alexander growled.“My king, forgive our boldness. We have no choice but to oppose you."One of the demons spoke up and flew towards Alexander, who was in his devil form with the crown on his head.Alexander grabbed the demon's head and pulled it apart from his body. The blood splattered on Alex, but he had issued a strong warning.“All of you are my army, so it will be unfortunate if no one survives,” Alexander said as he advanced.Due to their collective strength, the demons all decided to attack the king at once after first weakening him.One of them used wind power stronger than a storm, causing the tree around Alexander to uproot from the soil. Despite its immense power, it was in
★★★Bella wiped her tears from her cheeks and said, "Your doom is near, Lilith.” When she was ready to stand up, she gently placed Noah's head on the ground.“You will get the worst end.” Bella's determined gaze longed to knife Lilith to death for killing Noah. However, Lilith's following sentence quenched Bella's rage.Lilith threw her arms in the air and said, "I hope you wish a good end for your father and dear friends." Bella followed her hand by turning around, and as she did, she caught a glimpse of her father and her friends, who were being detained by the Blackhound villagers.When Bella saw her father and friends lying motionless and blue, her very soul crumbled to dust.She advanced towards them on her unsteady feet."What did you do to him?" Bella screamed as she cupped her father's face.Lilith's giggle set Bella's blood on fire. She spoke with the great threat, turning around to face Lilith, "If a slight harm comes to them, I will bend hell to make you suffer, and
★★★"You're a complete moron. After everything I've done to save you and offer you the opportunity to live, you are determined to betray me," Casey demanded loudly, baring her razor-sharp fangs.She was upset because Noah had lied to her. He extended his hand and convinced her that he was willing to walk with her, but only to deceive her. He had already devised a strategy to save Bella in the back of his mind.Noah sprang up, his eyes blazed. His one hand gently pushed Bella behind him because she meant the world to him. He didn't get a chance to save her from his father, but nothing could stop him from taking Bella from this place right now.“Let her go, Casey. She is our friend,” Noah said, trying to make Casey calm. He would be at ease if Casey became ready to help them then it would be easier to escape. He had to manipulate her.“Yes, our wonderful buddy who is more poisonous than a snake," Casey grumbled, her jaws clenched. Black veins began to appear on her pale skin. As so
★★Although Alexander had additional plans for Bella, her constant worry for her father put an end to everything. He grudgingly complied with her request. Additionally, he would learn what precipitated Bella's abrupt transformation.Alexander wanted to enter Bella's home when they arrived there, but Bella refused, saying that her father would not appreciate it if he found out she had been living with him.Alexander's veins on his forehead went stiff when he realized Bella was being bothered by a dreadful thing that placed her on alert as well as compelled her to cover her mouth. He was helpless to act.He sat in his car for a while, his hands tightly gripping the wheel. Alexander closed his eyes in an attempt to spy on Bella, in particular, to know why she made an excuse to push him away. But his power was immediately returned to him. Although he was conscious that his abilities had been diminished, this was his forte. Why would it misfire on him? Alexander ruminated.“Unless som
★★★In the dream, Bella felt something constrict her breathing by choking her neck. She was unable to draw even a single breath. Immediately, a familiar voice suddenly took her off guard.“Bella, help me.”“Dad, Dad!!” Bella saw her father in blood. He could hardly open his eyes, since his lips were bleeding. Bella’s core trembled fiercely.“Dad,”Bella tried to reach him but was unable to do so. Something kept her feet firmly planted.Suddenly, Lilith appeared out of nowhere to welcome Bella, who came out of the shadows with a threatening smile and blood on the corner of her lips.“What did you do to my father? What he has done to you?” Bella screamed, forcing her feet to move but not to avail.“As of right now, he is OK. Regarding your father’s future, I am unable to make any promises,” Lilith said with a smile on her lips, “Perhaps I’ll shorten his life. She grabbed Bella’s father by the neck and hauled him to his feet while her eyes shone crimson.“Please stop,” Bella yel
