DAWN.As soon as I stepped out of Mr. Jones' car, a view of the massive building greeted me, serving as a reminder that I had gotten the chance to study here.A scholarship to one of the most prestigious colleges in the city. Everyone's dream school.Finally, I could study freely, be myself, achieve my dreams, and maybe even meet him afterward, without anyone being insulting towards me or reminding me about my parents.I found myself smiling wide at this thought, my heart racing."Are you alright, girl?" I heard Mr. Jones right from behind me, and I found myself trembling for no reason, before turning to face him.He, too, had gotten out of his vehicle and was adjusting his suit."Yes, thank you so much, sir, for everything, especially this," I replied with a thin smile while gesturing with my free hand towards the gigantic building, my books in the other."I should be thanking you instead, kiddo. I owe you my life," he told me with a bright smile, reminding me of the incident which l
DAWN."You are a peasant?" Scarlett exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide open and almost popping out of its sockets.I gulped down my saliva, butterflies rumbling in my tummy and my hands trembling once again."I can't believe this" A girl murmured."We sat with a trash can?" Another girl exclaimed in disbelief. Whispers spread through the dining hall, and a few girls approached our table. Some of them took out their phones, seizing the opportunity to capture the unfolding drama for the school's group chat."What's happening, Scarlett?" asked a girl with auburn hair."Just a little drama, Lisa. A peasant trying to pass herself off as a rich girl and fooling every one of us," Scarlett replied, the side of her lips curling up into an evil grin that sent shivers down my spine. "N -n -no. I never claimed to be rich," I stuttered, trying to defend myself. Before I could explain, a bucket of paint, which I have no idea where it was gotten from, was grabbed and emptied all over my head, dr
DAWN."You mean the triple terrors are back?" Lisa asked, surprisingly releasing my hair. I turned subconsciously to look at her and noticed her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, her hands finding their way to her mouth." I can't believe this, let's go. We can't afford to miss them," Scarlett said, smiling wide and actually jumping up and down, making me furrow my brows at her.' Uhn! What was going on?' I wondered and blinked to be sure I was seeing things right and wasn't hallucinating.Suddenly, I became invisible as they all left me; their mission to bully me was probably the last thing on their minds at the moment. Everyone rushed out after Scarlett and Lisa, murmuring excitedly and bringing out their phones to record.' What was with these students and the media?' I pondered and stood there frozen and confused. The students were still screaming, filming, and jumping up and down.Some, to my amusement, were fainting, and that got me all the more curious as to what w
DAWN.I shivered on the cold floor, swallowing hard as their heated stares bore into me. Cheeks burning, I cringed away, wishing the ground would just open up and swallow me whole. The air grew silent, and I felt multiple gazes fixated on me. Anticipating more bullying, I braced myself, but to my surprise, the footsteps I heard were of them leaving, though they threw parting glares that sent shivers down my spine.I lay there, peeking at their retreating backs, my eyes widening. 'Did they just let me go?' I wondered, jaw-dropping."OMG! Are you okay? I didn't mean to push you," a familiar voice said behind me. Warm hands touched my skin, and I shivered, raising my head to see her. Scarlet was the only reason why I knew exactly what hell felt like, and right now the same Scarlet was smiling brightly at me. What is happening right now?"Are you hurt? You should be more careful next time," she said, but I wasn't paying attention. Her words came as echoes, watching her lips move, eyes
DAWN."What is going on?" I heard a girl whisper to her friend."I can't believe Scarlett could stoop so low to invite a peasant to join her clique and snub our requests" Another girl hissed, her voice laced with annoyance and dissatisfaction. On hearing her annoyed blurts, I, as usual, simply buried my head and began staring at my feet in a bid to avoid the seething glares being thrown at me from all over the place. It was quite clear that several people were immensely dissatisfied with Scarlett's decision to make me a member of her clique. Charlie noticing my intimidated mannerisms, abruptly grabbed my chin and pulled my head up. " You need to stop acting so timid, " She scolded, staring into my eyes, which were darting about, in a bid to avoid her gaze. Inwardly, I battled with the strong urge to return my face downwards, but Charlie firmly held my chin in place, disallowing me from doing so. "She's right," Lisa abruptly chipped in, placing her attention on me. "You are one o
DAWN."Dominic, Derick, and Devon Lopez popularly known as Triple D are the Three super charming and rich Triplets who are often the talk of the town and school.""With their mother as the President and Manager of several companies, lots of people desire to get closer to them knowing they are the inheritors to the empires" Brittany narrated and I felt a whirlpool of emotions flowing through me.Emotions I couldn't identify or figure out. I expected those three to be powerful but not that powerful and as a matter of fact, I didn't expect them to be triplets. I mean, they did look alike but being triplets didn't even occur to me in the slightest."They are known by multiple names. Triple D, The trio, Triple Terrors, handsome triplets and so many more I can't remember" Charlie said, chirping in and I stood frozen in place, eyes widened."I know what you are thinking love. Why do they have so many nicknames?" Charlie inquired and I nodded at her, leaning forward and paying close attention
DAWN.Hurriedly, I dashed towards the large figure lying motionlessly across the floor. With a brief struggle, I turned the body over and was met with the sight of an unconscious, middle-aged man. Without wasting a second of time, I placed my fingers over his nostrils, his warm ragged breaths serving as an affirmation of him still being alive. On confirming he was alive, I began tapping and shaking his shoulder frantically, in a bid to wake him up so we could both get out of the building in time before it exploded, and collapsed upon us.Every nook and cranny of the place, other than the little corner we were situated at, had been engulfed by flames, and it was quite clear that if we didn't make our way out of here in time, we would both be consumed by said flames in a matter of mere moments. "Sir! Sir!" I called out hurriedly in between shaky breaths, my digits trembling as I tapped the man frenetically but to my absolute despair, the man remained completely unresponsive, lifeles
DAWN."I hate to say this but that was really brave of you." Scarlett acknowledged.To say I was shocked would be a complete understatement. Hearing such words from Scarlett filled me with delight that was beyond what words could describe. "Thank you." I appreciated beaming brightly as I tucked a tuft of my hair behind my ear. I had a good feeling that I and Scarlett were going to be great friends. I mean, she didn't seem so bad after all. "So how did you get the scholarship, I mean what happened after you saved him, How did you guys meet again after parting at the ambulance?" Charlie came in, throwing a barrage of questions at me at once."Well.." I was about to reply to her questions when the bell rang abruptly, cutting me off in the middle of my words. The ring indicated Siesta. It was time for a brief break."Whoa! I never realized how much time had passed by" Lisa commented, astonished." Let's leave guys before that bitch of a governess puts us all in detention for not obeyi
DAWN 'S POV.After that night, when Derick and I had an unexpected make-out session and Devon caught us, things have not exactly been the same. I mean, strange, weird things have been happening.First of all, the next morning, I saw a carefully, wrapped, birthday present in my locker. That first sent me rearing backward from my locker, because no one here except me knew my birthday was the day before so why was I receiving a present?Or perhaps there was a mistake and the present belonged to someone else? So I thought as I carefully took the gift box out to look at it. It was tied with a ribbon and had my name on it." To Dawn, Happy birthday kitten" I read out aloud before glancing around swiftly in the hope of getting a hint as to who dropped this but found nothing.When I opened the gift box, I found a box of chocolate, my favorite, and the latest volume of one of my favorite dark Mafia romance novels. I couldn't be more grateful.I happily ate my chocolate and read my book, prayin
DOMINIC'S POV.I slammed my fists against the table, my eyes flashing with a jealous rage. My mind raced with dark thoughts towards my brother while my wolf, Phenoix, emitted a possessive fury consuming us all." How dare that bastard?" He growled in my head, his voice low and menacing which would have sent shivers down whosoever heard it, spine.Devon was no better because he was pacing up and down the study, his blue orbs flashing with a burning intensity, a mix of envy and possessiveness that seemed to sear through the air.Immediately Derek left with that whore, who was trying to seduce me earlier. I busted out of the party instantly, not giving a damn about the important guests anymore. They can all go to hell for all I care, was what I thought then.By the way, it was even good for their sake I left, otherwise Phenoix would have made me cause terror out of anger. I was distracted by the sound of things crashing and raised my head up to see, Derek angrily swiping things from the
DERICK'S POV.I savored the taste on my bottom lips, relinquishing in the memories of how Dawn had been in my arms a few months ago, our lips locked together and moving in sync.Though she seemed a little inexperienced, I still enjoyed it. Her arms tightly locked around my neck, her soft butts which I regret not grabbing when I had the chance, sitting on my hardening crotch.I looked at my palms and the memory of me fondling her succulent boobs rained through my mind, I would have teased her nipples through her gown if not for Devon's rude interaction.I let out a smirk, feeling immense happiness surging in me at the way his eyes were fuming, and how he looked like he wanted to pounce on me, which he did and managed to land a weak, feeble punch." Oh please!" Winter, my wolf growled in my head. " We both know he landed a very great punch. I even felt the impact. Must have been autumn's doings". Winter added and I snorted, making my way into the party which had already gone wild.The
DAWN'S POV CONTINUES." Shouldn't you be at the party?" Derick queried but I just sat still on the floor, looking at them all with my mouth hanging open. I searched their expressions for any form of hate but found them all to be neutral.' Why were they nonchalant about this, or did I misread their expressions earlier all wrong??' I pondered, millions of unanswered questions running through my mind with no answers." Perhaps she needs her own space. We should let her be" Dominic suggested and his brothers agreed with him before they all turned slowly and left, all except one.Wait! What? They were not going to scream at me or boss me around." Here" I heard and looked up to see Derick, in front of me, stretching forth his palm at me to take. At first, I was skeptical and looked back and forth between his hand and face.' was this some sort of trick or prank?' I wondered, and for like a minute, kept looking at him, my eyebrows furrowed. My heart is racing." Are you seriously going to l
DAWN'S POV. My life in here has been hell and worse since I started serving the triplets as their slave. I became the school's biggest joke and even commoners didn't regard me as one of theirs. They also looked down on me due to the way everyone treated me.I thought Scarlett and her minions were my worst nightmares but I was wrong, the triplets were and the annoying thing was, I was growing unknown feelings for them. Like my body and soul desired them but I knew that couldn't be otherwise.I was below their level and wasn't even worthy enough to lick their shoes clean. They also wouldn't even look at me twice. I was supposed to despise their mere existence due to the way they mostly took out their frustrations on me and made me do everything for them, but no, their actions seem to make me grow more attracted to them instead.I was constantly teased and bullied at the same time. I felt these lingering feelings they wanted me too due to the ways they acted sometimes but I think t
DAWN'S POV CONTINUES.I looked around trying to figure out everything that happened and how I had gotten here but turned up completely blank.I sat up and the first thing I realized was that my belongings were untidily scattered across the room and immediately got out of bed, wondering why. Just then, the door swung open, and in came the she-devil, Scarlett with an evil grin on her face." She's awake" She called out, briskly approaching me, and due to the immense dread that she had instilled in me, I immediately began to back away. At the mere sight of her, I had already begun to hyperventilate and perspire profusely, despite the active air conditioner in the room.Just when I thought I was about to get another round of beating, the door swung open again and Devon sauntered in. I breathed a sigh of relief unknowingly, feeling unexplainably relieved to see him. Scarlet noticing my mannerisms of relief, narrowed her gaze at me before turning around. Instantly, she recoiled in profu
DAWN'S POV.It seemed as though I was sinking into a lake of fire. Everywhere was just uncomfortably hot, and every inch of my body was burning and itching all over. All I could do was scream and plead for mercy as I struck the floor in frustration repeatedly. " Please Aunt, please, please. I can't breathe," I cried out, hiccuping between words, as tears streamed down my face like a river. My chest burned, my limbs felt heavy, and it felt like a pit had been bored into my stomach. I sat there on the ground, bawling my eyes out. My back was placed against the door as I kept pleading for help and mercy, but no one answered or came to my rescue. I began hallucinating, as I sat in the middle of the dark, confined space, fearing and imagining the worst.' What if a vengeful ghost appeared or a swarm of cockroaches creeped out of the darkness and smothered me?' I pondered, hearing my heart pound loudly within my chest. I started to rear backward till my back collided with the wall,
DEVON'S POV." Do you guys think locking her up was the right thing to do?" I questioned, facing my brothers, keeping my expression as neutral as I could. Both Dominic and Derrick both turned, throwing me a look of surprise. They were in absolute disbelief of my statement, just as I figured they would. " Is this actually Devon speaking or a skinwalker inhabiting his body?" Derrick, the blabbermouth of us questioned with a mocking smile. I rolled my eyes, an exasperated scoff escaping me, as the bastard chuckled mischievously. " This can't be Devon, because the Devon I know only cares about getting into girl's pants. He doesn't give two fucks about their well-being," He added, bursting into incessant laughter like the idiot he was. I felt the burning intent to lunge at him at that moment and beat him to a pulp but restrained myself, knowing that Dominic wouldn't be approving of that.It wasn't that I viewed Dominic as my superior or anything, I just respected him because as much
DAWN'S POV CONTINUES.I stared blankly at them, my heart racing in fear, as they gazed back at me, their faces scrunched up into frowns and their fists clenched so tightly that veins streaked up their forearms like tree branches. Still, the other two seemed a little loosened up, but the calm-looking guy whom I still had no idea of what his name was, was glaring intently at me.I could clearly see the immense annoyance in his gaze, and I could only ponder on what must've gotten him so irritated. Had I done something wrong again? Just then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit me— I was supposed to have tendered their assignments to them for submission but I had not even touched a single page.Instantly, I began to panic, and my legs started to wobble like jello. I could feel the triplet's intense gaze boring into me so deeply that I couldn't help but gulp hard.My entire body began to heat up, and I could feel my insides clenching and squirming.What feeling was causing these reactions?
