(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)
I was shaking in anger and fear while dragging myself back inside my apartment. Eugene was long gone but I remained there on my door step for God knows how long. I threw myself on the couch, breathing hard as I couldn’t believe what just happened.
Did that asshole really came here to send an indirect threat? He's mad and obsessed! He needs help!
Pickle hopped on the couch and snuggled to me, purring so loud. My chest was moving up and down so I run my fingers along her shiny fur, trying to calm myself down. When I’m sure I’m finally okay, I got up from the couch and run to my bedroom to look for my phone.
I called Jupiter but even after the third missed call, nobody was picking up! I began panicking because of it. He’s not usually taking too long to answer! Did something bad happened?
I couldn’t thin
"You are not going back to your apartment again. I'll have some helpers to pick up and transfer your stuffs to my place tonight," I said through gritted teeth upon reading those disgusting messages from Eugene on her phone.I handed it to Venus so she can also see what's happening."But... I need to at least say goodbye to Maggie. Maybe I'll just move out tomorrow?"I shook my head firmly. "No. We have to be wary and alert of everything. We can't risk your safety for tonight.""Ew! Fuck this guy! He deserves to be put in jail!" Venus screamed in anger while reading the texts. She returned the phone to Juno, utterly disgusted. "We can file a case against him!""We sure can do. But that means we'll put my secret at risk," I expelled a deep frustrated sigh.Venus snarled angrily with her arms crossed defensively. "I wouldn't be surprise
Pickle snuggled up to me as soon as I threw myself on the soft mattress of that small bedroom Jupiter have lend to me. And although it was tiny, we fit perfectly and it felt safer than ever.I stretched for a bit before circling my arm around the clingy cat. The bed was bigger and fluffier so I was more comfortable to move around without worrying I’d fall off the bed.I promised to cook for our breakfast so I woke up and shower early. But what I didn’t expect is Jupiter would wake up earlier than I so everything was done and prepared the moment I stepped on the kitchen floor. I frowned at him, arms crossed together as I sauntered closely towards the kitchen island.Jupiter smirked as soon as I was seated on the bar stool across him. “I thought you’d cook for us?”I shrugged before sipping on the black mug containing a newly prepared chocolate drink. “What time do you wake up? I didn’t know you’
“Juno Larissa!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while banging her door that morning. I woke up to Monica’s call with the news that she’s currently the internet’s laughing stock because of her cousin’s newly shared post - that is unfortunately, contradicting her caption from yesterday.“What?” She opened the door sleepily while rubbing her eyes. Her clothes and hair was still a mess and I can see some white stains on the side of her lips. I cringed hard, having the urge to pull her hair in irritation.“Look what your evil sister have done!” I angrily shove my phone to her face.She took the phone and brought it to her gaze absentmindedly. She stared at it for half a minute without any reaction and that’s when I decided to pull a few strands of her hair. She immediately reacted and glared at me.“Read it!” I screamed once again while eyeing her angrily.Juno
I couldn’t recall a time when Tatiana won against me. Well, maybe I do… but those are very rare, forgettable, and petty fights. Did she think I would let her get into my nerves this time? I scoffed and read all of her angry messages to me - which all of them were left on seen to make her angrier.Now it’s fair… we’re both the internet’s laughing stock and clown for the day. Netizens have mix and divided opinion about our sides after reposted the photo. Some sided with me, but most remained firm about their view that I am a two-faced liar. I understand, since of course, Tatiana was able to present a receipt. It’s just that they don’t know the story behind the shot and I am not in the mood to retell and explain myself anymore.I am more than happy that I was able to fire back at my cousin and make her fume…I sighed, smirking, before the stashing my phone back inside the drawer so I can resume
With a hesitant sigh, I pressed the unblock button and proceeded to type a message for the person I never wanted to associate myself with again. Fucking asshole! I can’t believe I don’t have the slightest idea of the kind of person he is.All this time, he’s been hiding his dirt underneath his innocent facade. But I guess it’s my fault since I didn’t spend much time with him - reason why I wasn’t able to see those horrible versions of him.Me:Let’s meet tonight. You decide where, and make sure it’s somewhere private. Not in your place.I leaned back on my seat and sighed wearily. Tonight was supposedly the first family dinner my Dad has been pushing through. I’d really love to spend some time with them, together with Juno, but I guess that could wait after this fucking dilemma.My phone lit up quickly as Eugene’s name started blinking on the screen. Fucking lun
“Let’s order first? And relax… you are certainly not hearing any bad news tonight.” Jace Alonzo beamed at me before calling a waiter to take our order. He asked if he could choose for me and I nodded willingly as he seemed excited to show me the cafe’s best seller. Looks like he’s a regular customer here and he knows the menu well…“So… I did a quick research about the properties stated in these papers. I’ve found out that some of them has been sold to unrelated people outside your family,” he shook his head in disappointment as he browsed through the thick piles of paper on his black folder.I sighed and nodded, disappointed as he is. “My Uncle had his hands on them when my parents passed away. I’m certain the mansion is the only property I’ll be inheriting from them but he and his daughter kicked me out a few weeks ago.”Jace nodded. “So I&rsq
Eugene smirked mockingly upon seeing the rage on my face as my grip on his collar tightened up. He let out a shaky laugh while bravely exchanging intense glares with me. And as I let my eyes wander on his form, and in his deep brown orbs, I couldn’t see a single trace of the man I’ve loved before…And when I think about it now… was it love that I really felt for him? Or was I just yearning for a companion and acceptance from the same sex that I’ve never received before?I freed his collar and pushed him back to his seat. I breathed out raggedly as I remained panting in fury in front of him.“You dare rise your tongue against Juno once more and you’ll have a talk with my fist! And don’t ever come near her again! ” I spat at him before throwing myself back at the further space on the long couch.Eugene sneered, shaking his head while trying to fix the collar of his shirt that I nearly rip
Jupiter swatted my hand when I tried to take a tiny bite size of cake from his plate. I looked at him, innocently startled, as he glared back at me.“This is mine! As I was saying, I will impose a ban notice for him so he won’t ever get close to you again…”I rolled my eyes as he kept going with his story about what happened yesterday. I am hungry and craving for the same dessert! Now I regret buying just two slices last night ‘cause Jupiter is nearly finished with the whole thing! I said we can share it! We! Me and him!I inwardly groaned in irritation before pulling the bowl of fried rice closer to me. “Can you pass me the hotdog, please?”“...I left him there bruised up. Wait, are you listening to me?” He passed me the plate of and glared.I pouted and forked a hotdog before shoving it in my mouth. “Did he agree to your terms, then? Remember, Jupiter… you’re
