She had been blamed and rebuked; she had lost and been betrayed; she had tried to figure out who she was but instead got trampled upon. Roseline spent her poor childhood life in pain, distress, and hardship, even at the hands of her own father. But she stepped back, not giving up on herself. Lucian is a rich, cursed playboy of the Desmonds who had up to thirty girlfriends and, surprisingly, was catering to their needs. He met Roseline, who never liked him from the start and has been trying every possible way to avoid him. Lucian had been cursed by this same Roseline when they were both kids. But why do they have to meet again, fall in love, and also try to exchange destinies?

It was a busy day in Marygrove. The wind was howling silently in the streets. A car was passing on the silent road with no noise except the tires of a small, moving car.
In this car, there was a happy family of three. The grandfather, the mother, and the kid
13 years old Roseline was busy staring at the beautiful landscape. Her beautiful plumpy lips were clamped together, and her pink rosy cheeks which suits her name so much blushed as the beautiful area kept giving her goosebumps.
But unfortunately, her goosebumps weren't just for the area; they were for the idea of her going to school. Those eyes that would stare at her today...
"Ugh!!!" She had to groan.
"Roseline, are you happy to go to school?" Her mother asked with a smile.
"I am not mom; you should have left me alone at home. You still went ahead to rent this car all because of me again," she snorted.
"Common rose, school is fun," her grandpa added, with a smile stuck on his face.
"But not for me, grandpa; they are all bullies at school. All they do is bully me, so how's school fun then?" She asked, and her mom sighed.
Her daughter had always complained about this school of hers. She wished she could just take her away from the school, but what can she do but struggle endlessly to make sure her small family never lacks? Even without a husband.
*at school*
"Goodbye, Roseline; behave yourself well, okay?"
"Yes, mom," she muttered and waved at them.
She walked into the school, then into her class, only to meet the teacher teaching as usual. She was so late and so in trouble today.
The teacher, Miss Miller, gasped seeing her walk slowly to class.
"Roseline Douglas, why are you late to class again?" She questioned herself, folding her arms under the busty area of her chest. Roseline couldn't care less, as she found no excuse to tell her teacher.
"I can't speak for myself, Miss Miller. I am just late," she said bluntly, and the whole class burst out in laughter, mocking her.
"After class, detention!"
"Yes,"Yes Miss Miller," she replied.
At least detention was for her. I hope she doesn't meet bullies in detention.
All eyes were on the girl who walked to her seat. She sat down with her head lowered.
****
Roseline walked into Miss Miller's office to see her seated with a frown on her face. A boy was also with her, with his head lowered. It seemed he was getting scolded about something bad he did. I hope he wasn't a bully.
"Miss Miller?" she called.
ordered"Sit!" Miss Miller commanded without sparing her a glance.
boy,Roseline went to take her seat beside the boy who avoided her. At least he was also in detention.
"Coming late to class, (turns to the boy) hanging around the school?"
"I was only receiving a call, Miss Miller," the boy said for himself.
"Oh, why don't you go explain to the principal that you were just taking a quick call; that's all you did before I caught you red-handed!"
The boy rolled his eyes at the teacher, thinking she overreacted a lot.
"Lucian and Roseline, come with me."
She stood up and took the both of them to a room beside hers. A surprising room.
"Mrs. Claudia left over room?" They both exclaimed, their eyes widening.
The room had been left over for ages. It was rumored that this office was once the principal's office controlled by Mrs. Claudia, the woman with evil intentions who had left the school with police escorts. Since then, this place has been locked up.
She opened the padlock and led them in.
"But it would take days to clean this place up," Roseline complained, looking everywhere and at the same time feeling quite irritated.
"That's why you have an assistant. I want this place all cleaned up before Monday, got that?"
"But tomorrow is Saturday,"
"Yeah. Just today, tomorrow, and Sunday. You both are lucky; no one would be able to disturb you while you are both in detention. Just remember, before Monday, you both are really in serious trouble."
She points her finger at them, glaring at them.
"And Lucian, don't you dare do something dangerous!" She pointed to his face. He made an eye roll. The teacher walked away, leaving the two of them to themselves.
Roseline walked out to grab the gloves, dusters, and broom. She walked into the room to clean it up, thinking he would come with her.
Lazy ass Lucian picked up a chair, dusted it, and took his seat like the pampered child he was.
"Sorry? What are you doing?" She questioned with one of her eyebrows raised in question.
"Who do you think I am? I don't do minor jobs." Oh, she had forgotten that, as there were bullies everywhere in the school, there were also rich, pampered brats who thought they were on top of the world, and an example of such was this brat over here.
"You are not to do minor jobs." This isn't a minor job. It is detention."
"So?" he questioned.
"So?! (scoffs) "Would you get your lazy ass off there and do your work, cause I don't think I would touch anything if you don't stand up? Maybe we will both get into trouble!" She threatened, pointing right at his face.
"Are you threatening me?"
"If you count that as a threat, that would be a no. I am only reminding you of the trouble you could cause by just sitting down there doing nothing." She snapped angrily at him.
He clenched his fist and finally stood up to clean the damn room. He took the dusters, the broom, and a mask. He remembered that she wasn't wearing a mask. "That stupid girl," he cursed. He took another mask for the girl, who was busy cleaning the window.
"Stupid girl, she forgot her mask," he curses again.
He turned around to call her, only to see a goddess standing by the windows. The sun, which reflected on her face, made her look like a sun goddess. He never knew she had a set of blue eyes. It was beyond beautiful. It was magical. Her lips parted a little, making her look like a little princess in distress. A little princess is cleaning the window. It was wonderful.
With no shame, he walked towards Roseline, staring at her face with interest. Roseline looked at him in disgust. Why was he staring at her like that?
"Why are you staring at me like that?" she questioned.
"You are beautiful," he said shamelessly.
"Excuse me?" She raised her brows.
"You know, I feel like kissing you right now because you are really attractive. You are beautiful," he said with a smile as the girl scoffed at him. What is he saying now? What had his parents taught him? To have girls off to himself? He is nothing but a young spoilt brat! How old was he? Eleven? Saying kisses.
"What?!!"
"I think I am attracted to you," he pouted his lips cutely, and immediately, the girl walked away from him and suddenly ran out of the room to Miss Miller's, only to see it locked. She was disappointed. Gosh, she just wanted to report the boy who doesn't know how to filter his mouth. He was trying to take advantage of her.
She walked back to the room only to see him smiling mischievously. ‘What psychopath have I met in detention?’ She thought to herself. The minute Lucian saw her coming alone, His smile suddenly turned to a smirk.
"What?!! No, Miss Miller?" He teased her with a surprised look on his face.
"Please quit saying things that would make me so uncomfortable," she pleaded with him.
"How can Lucian Desmond make you uncomfortable?" He questioned, stressing the 'how?' like he was on top of the world.
"I've never heard of the name," she replied.
He smiled at her, then the two resumed their work, even though Roseline was uncomfortable. She could see his stare everywhere she went.
Driving into the garage, a row of cars were packed in, getting the two quite surprised. "You never told me you had some visitors." Roseline said to Lucian who shook his head in response. "I never did." The cars looked very recognisable, but his mom never told him she was coming over. It was certainly his mother's car. "I think my mom is here. She never told me she is coming today." Roseline got stunned. "Your mom?" "Common, let's go in." He took her hand, but she was quite hesitant to go in with him. "Your mom is in there, waiting for you to come back home." She muttered, still extremely nervous. "Are you nervous?" He smirked. She turned to look at him one more time, before nodding. "Don't be. She won't do anything." "Are you sure?" Mrs Desmond walked out of the house with her PA. "So you actually bring in the gold digger?"The both of them turned to look at her. She stood by the door, staring at the two who stood still. "Mom?" "I was told that you now have a girl, a go
Roseline left him on the floor still in shock. Lucian's car packed by, Roseline got in and he drove away."That bitch!" Tony eyes almost sprouted from it's socket. He squeezed his phone angrily, then tossed it away. "You are still addicted to her. I can see she doesn't love you any longer. You are no one to her." Berry got out to the house to see her brother on the floor. She picked up his broken phone, walked back to him to give him. "She is no longer a family. She just rejected us as her family. I am sure you know you can rape her if you want to now. No one is gonna tell you out if it." Tony scoffed. "Why? Because she is with Lucian now? Your crush is now with your enemy." He stood on his feet. "I'll get her the way I want to. I don't need anyone's advice to take back my girl." "Your girl?" She snickered, as the man walked in. "I’ll kill your girl." She muttered, staring at nothing. She knows everything now. She know her father sleeps with her everyday, and now, the only thing
A frown took over Michael's face, as he glared at the girl who seated like she was the owner of the home. Did she just call him a whore?"What did you just call me?" "Oh, you want me to repeat it? I just called you a whore. A male bitch." He angrily stood up to slap her, but before he could, Tony already stood up in front of him, and he ended up slapping him instead. Roseline smiked, moved back a little bit, to watch the drama between the two men. "How dare you protect her even after calling me with such." His veins bulged on his head as he spoke angrily to his aon. "I cannot allow you to hit her beautiful face, and besides she is right when she said you are not her father, and you cannot command her and ask her to do what she doesn't wish to do." His father scoffed, "What?" "You cannot hit her. It's against the law." "You kid." He pointed angrily at his face. "I natured Roseline till now. I took her into my home, took care of her like my own child, and this is how she repays
8pm...Lucian dropped Roseline off in front of a huge gate. "Are you sure everything is gonna be okay?" She nodded, smiling at him. "Yeah, and besides we really need to get this done. I have stayed hidden for months. Not anymore." "Okay. But if anything goes wrong, don't forget to call me immediately. I will come rushing to you immediately."She nodded, smiling at him. He kissed her, before getting into his car, driving away. Roseline turned to look at the gate in front of her. It felt like a huge stone was thrown down her stomach. She doesn't wish to be here, and at the same time, wished to get this done with these family who actually aren't her family. She walked through the gate to see someone she never had expected to meet first. Tony. It turned out he had arrived for the past three hours, waiting for the girl to show up. Seeing her now brought a wide smile on his face. "You are finally here." Rose frowned deeply at him. He should be the last person she should be meetin
Five days after....Rosemary hadn't been attending class, nor came to school since the incident. Roseline had been staying with Lucian for three days, before she could go back to her hostel. She had always been in the lookout for Rosemary who might show up anytime soon. Lucian had also kept his eyes open and also in secret looking for ways to change Roseline's fate since Clarabelle wouldn't tell him how. He saw Roseline one day at the library all by herself. She looked depressed, same way she had been since these last few days. She wouldn't talk much, instead, always alert looking out for Rosemary. She looked scared, and it had been making him extremely worried. "Rose?" He sat in front of her, saw the book she had on her desk. "If I can't be a normal supernatural, I can still read about supernaturals.' She muttered. 'Fangs and Roses.' Which was the name of the biok. "Rose, how are you?" She raised her brows to look at him, then smiled. "As usual. Always in the lookout for Rose
Tony was looking odd and tattered, as he struggled to the students houses to locate Cole. He could believe she was right under his nose. After searching everywhere for her, he was actually here under a guy. That bitch! He thought she was always with Lucian, then why is it Cole now? "Such a slut." He muttered, staggering to the exact door he knew Cole stays. He angrily banged on the door. "Get the fuck out, Cole!" He banged again. "If you are really a man, I'd advice you to take your shit off my woman's body." He slammed his hand again on the door, and this time Cole opened the door. He walked out, glaring at the man in front of him. "Who the fuck are you and what the fuck do you want here? Who do you think you are causing a ruckus in my house?" "So you are the one I hear fucking my woman." "The fuck is your woman, you tattered thug? What do you want?" "I heard you are an hot shot and you loved hitting on other people's women." Cole seem more irritated at his presence. He do
"Rosemary's mother is just like her father— addicted to monsters. She wanted to know truly if monsters really existed. She also wanted to show the whole world that monsters does walk around humans like normal beings, so she created a glass." Clarabelle paused. "A glass?" Roseline raised her brows. "Yes, a glass which could see humans by which they were. Then, the queen was just someone who liked touring around the human world, going out to fun with her husband, the king. She is just the one who enjoys fun, and she saw Rosemary's mother as someone who can show her the ways of a humans, but Rosemary's mother had other motives." "Of course she didn't tell Rosemary's mother that she is the queen of the supernaturals. Instead, she told her she was a foreigner from another country who came to Australia to tour the surrounding area, but I guessed Pauline was doubtful." "Pauline?" Rosemary muttered. "Yeah, that's her name. I tell you, she is not her name....well, as I was saying, Rosemar
"Breathe in, breathe out." Clarabelle led Roseline on how to transform back into her human self. "You own this. Just think you are back the way you always are. Relax. " Roseline's eyes were shut closed as she did what she was told o do...and it worked. She was back being a human again. She hugged herself happily; she loved being a human and not a demon queen or whatever it was called."Clara, I need to talk to you." Lucian called the woman who was still sitting beside Roseline. "Alone." He added, walking out of the room into the living room. Clarabelle stood up, went to meet the guy who stood restlessly. "You called for me, Lucian?" "Clara, you said something earlier on, which I couldn't fail to grab." She raised her brows in question."What is it?" "Her fate can be changed." Clarabelle shook her head, looking away. "If you know anything Clara, please say it. If she can actually change her fate, you can say it." "Her fate can't be changed Lucian. It's impossible. She is the quee
"Hey man, drop the gun." Rosemary also said to her father, nervously. "Dad, please drop the fucking gun!" he angrily points the gun at his daughter too, glaring at her. "You know I could easily cock this gun, and shoot a drill on each and every one of you. You people are just not believing me ehen I say demons are real." "Okay okay, fine, we believe you. We believe demons are real. Now drop the gun and let us solve this amicably like men. Just let go of the gun." "Will you shut the fuck up!" He yelled at them angrily. "You people should shut the fuck up." He repeated, still pointing the gun at them. "Even if I show you people over and over again, you won't believe me. I am sure of that. You will call me crazy. But hey, look at me, I am crazy. I get crazier everyday all because of this demon." He sniffed. "Do you have any idea what she did to me?" He beat his chest twice. "She killed my wife. I caught this demon in her full wings, terrible claws, tearing my wife into half. I told
