Brenda's POV

"No, please! Don't do this to me," I cried out bitterly as the water dripping from my hair to my face did nothing to stop me from sweating profusely, still as a result of my struggles.

My face had been intermittently dipped into an enormous bucket of water for minutes, and every round of the cruel torture felt like the last moments of my life.

I didn't know how I managed to survive the last four rounds. Now that the torture was about to be repeated, I felt like it could be the last one. I might not be able to hold my breath for too long and finally suffocate to death.

"I didn't do it, I swear. Please let me go!" I pleaded, squirming to free myself from the chair I was tied to.

But all my pleas were futile because, once again, my head was dipped into the pool of water, and I was desperately fighting for my life.

Suddenly, I jolted to life to see that I hadn't only been having a nightmare, but Vanessa had also been right in front of me, pouring water on my face to wake me u

    Brenda's POVThe living room brimmed with friends who had turned up for Ralph's birthday party, the clinking of glasses, hearty chatter, and background music adding to the liveliness.From cutting the cake to making a toast, as a good girlfriend should be, I was right beside him through the whole process. It was a happy moment and I was supposed to be happy and totally unbothered. Well, I was happy—for him at least. But despite the happy atmosphere, I couldn't help the unusual clumsiness that descended on me tonight. I grabbed a drink and started refilling my cup. I was staring into vacancy, but the subconscious part of me noticed the silence that suddenly ensued at the table. Everyone was looking at me like I were some alien now, and I didn't realize what I was doing wrong until Ralph's voice cut through the silence like a sharp knife.“Babe! What are you doing? The cup is full.”Only then did I realize that I had been pouring the drink absentmindedly. It had filled to the brim,

    Brenda's POVI sat in the cab and watched the cab driver speed up as I had instructed, my mind a swirling tempest of disappointment, rage, and fear.My eyes stung with the unshed tears I was making so much effort not to let out. I couldn't bring myself to bawl my eyes out and make the driver look at me as though I were a baby who just lost her candy. The more I tried to get Ralph's betrayal off my mind and focus on getting to Dad early, the more my mind drifted to that annoying scene. “Brenda, wait. It's not what you think.”Those were the words that came out of that bastard’s mouth when I grabbed my phone and stormed out of his room.To think he was bi-asexual in the first place and that he was still telling me that it wasn't what I thought despite what I saw, he must've taken me for a complete fool. There was absolutely no amount of explanation that would justify his action or make me disbelieve what I saw back there.My heart seemed to clench at the thought that I almost allowe

    Brenda's POV I had just survived a ghastly car accident, though I couldn’t decide if it was a blessing or just life prolonging my torment. The driver, intoxicated and speeding, lost the cop chasing us, but the car tumbled twice. I escaped with minor scratches, but the two men in the car were covered in blood. I didn’t even check if they were alive—I couldn't afford the cop to catch up with me.I crawled out of the overturned car and sprinted into an alley, stopping only when I saw the gate of a mansion opening for a luxurious vehicle. Hearing the police siren growing louder, I slipped into the compound unnoticed behind the car.I hid in the shadows and watched as a man with an aura of authority stepped out. Suddenly, he turned in my direction and barked, “Step outside now!”Trembling, I emerged with my hands raised. His stern voice demanded, “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” At first, I didn't know where to start, but with another shout from him, I nervously explained

    Brenda's POV The moment Vanessa stopped her dad from calling the police on me, albeit I felt a pang of relief, I knew she was up to something.“Are you sure you don't want me to report her to the police?” Mr. Grayson asked, his face mirroring the surprised look of his wife. “Yes father, I will teach her a lesson myself. Trust me to handle her.” Vanessa replied. Vanessa's smirk was enough to tell that she was trying to frame me for something I didn't do. But just as I had expected, her parents pretended they didn't see it. They were birds of the same feathers, after all, so I shouldn't expect less cruelty from them. Her mum looked unsatisfied. “And what penance do you intend to give to her which she won't get in the police custody?”“First, she can't leave this house until she pays for this expensive glass cup that she broke,’’ the spoiled brat answered.“I didn't didn't break that, you...” I tried to protest, but a sudden resounding slap across my face killed the last word left f

    Lucian's POVWhen my gaze met Vanessa's, I didn't know what to make of the anger and jealousy that I saw in her eyes. For a moment, I wondered when Vanessa started getting jealous, seeing me with other women. I would have sworn that she was just up to her usual shenanigans, but I was flabbergasted at how that anger and jealousy in her eyes looked so real. After embracing the hell out of me earlier, she had left me briefly to say hello to another man who she must have known from somewhere else.Vanessa and I were just friends, so I didn't see anything wrong with that. I didn't even feel a pang of jealousy as she smiled before the man, who was also wearing a small mask. My parents had not only been pressuring me to get married soon. Like I was a fool who couldn't make decisions for himself, they had decided that I'd get married to Vanessa.I had always considered their resolve and determination a silly joke that was worth laughing over.

    Lucian's POVFor a moment, Vanessa and I stood frozen, our gazes locked on each other.She wasn't standing fully upright yet, and I could feel her heartbeat going wild against her ribcage as I held her.We had never found ourselves in such proximity before, and if I wasn't just as shocked as she was, I would have wondered why she chose to remain in that uncomfortable posture rather than helping herself stand fully upright.Her breath was still fanning my face, and our lips remained so close when it clicked in my head again that we were the center of attention.Just when I was about to help Vanessa stand fully upright, her voice stopped me.“Lucian,” she swallowed.Before I could respond, three powerful words escaped her mouth:“I love you!”Those words rolled out of her mouth with such momentum that I failed to catch them until she repeated herself even more clearly.“I love you, Lucian! I always have.”Yet again, her words held me spellbound, and as if that wasn't enough, she closed
