Larissa's viewpointAh. I'm dead. My God will punish Zayne.I limped into the house after he dropped me off and took my car to get it washed. He first took me to his penthouse to change clothes but he couldn't get me new legs and waist. My pussy is ruined. The bastard took me again in the shower after making me pass out twice in the car.I am finished.I froze when I saw Tristan sitting on the couch, the TV remote in his hand. A girl sat beside him and they both looked at me puzzledly. "Sis, are you alright? I didn't hear your car drive in," oh God, not him.I smiled nervously. "Zayne dropped me off and took my car for a wash,""You're coming back at this time? And why are you limping?" He furrowed his brows suspiciously. I quickly cooked up a lie, forgetting that with Tristan, I could never succeed."I slipped when I was trying to murder someone who threw a ball at me,""The smell of your lie is disgusting. Talk or I rat you out to Dad," I grumbled but a giggle made me stop. It was t
Larissa's viewpoint"Starliss, that's enough!" Odette thundered, but it was too late, she already said it. Those words again. Telling me that I don't deserve Zayne, indirectly telling me that he could have done better. I knew that. I wasn't the prettiest girl in the world. My beauty couldn't turn heads like her or Odette. I know there's nothing special about me but so what? I deserve the best too.Despite my thoughts, tears rolled down my cheeks. I wasn't even sure if she was trying to help or what she was aiming for. "Larissa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that,""Oh yes you did," Odette snapped. "And that bullshit is right about enough. I know you're trying to help but you don't have to be so pushy about it. You're not the only one whose first love didn't work out so fucking deal with it! Stop venting it out on Larissa as if it's her fault my dick of a cousin chose– just stop, it Starliss!"I silently dried my tears with my palms, grabbed my phone, and got off the bed. At that mo
Larissa's viewpointI stared at Zayne intensely, pouting my lips and twinkling my eyelashes. He didn't bother to cast me even the slightest glance. So he's really angry about his family knowing about our sex life. I tried to make him understand that it wasn't my fault but as long as his father knew about it, what I did was unforgivable. Tch, he was just being dramatic and needed something from me but I wasn't going to play into his hands."I can't believe you're still angry. I can't walk properly because of you," I pointed out. He slammed his textbook shut, stood up, and walked away. I knew what he wanted me to do but too bad, I wasn't going to. Zayne wanted me to say I'll do anything for his forgiveness and then he'd demand that I miss Neo's game. Thanks to him, unintentionally, I already missed the first two games and now he wanted me to miss another one. Never.Neo is my best friend and missing out on important things is a no."Alright, see you later, my love!" I shouted after him.
Larissa's viewpointYou see, I love my boyfriend a lot. He's caring, sweet in his own way, brutally kind, and has a lot of good qualities. He's not perfect, no, he's far from perfect and two of his most annoying flaws are his jealousy and his temper. Now make that anger because of jealousy, that's like facing a tsunami. Heaven knows I won't survive that, but you see this guy, I'll survive him.I huffed as I ran after him. I was at least grateful he didn't try to kill Jiro. Death is exclusive to Neo. I don't know if I should appreciate that or fear it. Zayne took one look at me, scowled, and left. It was as clear as day that he was vexed and already conjuring up the worst possible scenarios about a secret love affair between Jiro and me. It was utterly ridiculous. He knew how I felt about him but whenever he loses himself to temper, the almighty Zayne never thinks. It's the worst possible combination for someone like him.Jiro is gorgeous, but he's not my type."Zayne can you please sl
Larissa's viewpointI've lost a lot of screws, I realize that now.Why do I think so? Well, I've been panicking and worrying a lot that if Zayne found out about my condition which wasn't life-threatening, he would treat me differently or leave me. I spent days worrying about what he would say to me if he knew. How would he react? Would he be angry? Would he hate me? Would he throw me away? My mother once told me that nobody wants a liability and although I worked hard not to become one, I still felt that way.A lot of insecurities or rather, a lot of buried and new insecurities resurfaced after I started dating Zayne, so I spent most of my alone time wondering about the things that could cause him to leave me and my heart was one of them. Now it's not as serious as Starliss and my father think. Blackouts happen once in a blue moon, mostly after a long period of stressful emotional imbalance. Let's be honest, since Neo's party, my heart hasn't taken a break from stress.Wait, what was
Larissa's viewpoint"…Is currently switched off. Please try again later or leave a message at the beep," I hung up and glanced at Zyaire. He was having a mental breakdown before even learning the whole story. All he heard was that his son was sick and he lost every sense of reasoning. Zayne's number was switched off, Lavender wasn't picking up, I didn't have Zachary's or their father's phone number, Savia's calls went straight to voicemail and Serenity's manager said she was in rehearsal. I couldn't drop a bomb on her when I wasn't sure.However, I knew that their weird quintuplet bond would already be sending signals but considering Zayne's temper, it'd take a while for them to pinpoint that there is more than one person paranoid. Maybe not. I'm not sure how their bond works.I glanced at Zyaire again. He sat in the backseat, hugging his knees and biting into his fingernails. Whatever he was thinking was badly messing with his head and there was nothing I could do to help him.I drov
Larissa's viewpointHave you ever been in a situation where time just flows by like it's a dream? Well, I have, a lot of times. Everything happened like a dream. Zachary's appearance and the way he swept the baby away like a breeze. Literally, he walked into the ward, took the baby and his brother, and left. If I didn't follow, I would have been left behind. I'm not even sure how I followed, I just knew that I watched Zyaire stare at the doctor in the new hospital in shock.It had been confirmed that he wasn't the father.Zyaire broke into hysterical laughter after the shock wore off and almost went mad. Then like a ninja appearing out of nowhere, Savia knocked him out. Serenity smiled at me and told me that I'd done enough and it was time for me to go home. She commanded Zayne who also appeared out of nowhere to take me home and threatened to skin him if he stressed me. Zayne didn't say a word to me but I ended up in my bedroom somehow. I only got myself when I woke up the next morni
Zayne's viewpointSometimes I hate my life. It hardly happened but whenever chaos struck, it left me pissed and this time, I had something more to be vexed about.I was angry at myself for the way I acted with Neo. Instead of exchanging words with him, I should have just punched him first before talking. That way, Larissa wouldn't have stopped me. The problem began with how easily she brushed me aside when I only wanted her to lean on me. She should have explained to me if it wasn't a big deal as she claimed, she shouldn't have forced me to respect her decision and put a pin on the topic. Next, she insisted on going to the match despite knowing how terrible her health was. She almost gave me a heart attack when she collapsed and instead of taking her health seriously, she brushed it aside without care.That's the biggest problem. Starliss was right. Larissa treats her health and her life as if it's nothing. She'd strongly convinced herself that her health was just a minor issue. A con
