“It's just me who can protect you!" Ethan yells as he slams Valentina against the wall, before she can move away, his body has covered the distance in an instant, and he brings his face extremely close to hers, his minty breath fanning her face. "With my power, no one in school can dare to hurt you, ever again.” Valentina couldn't believe her ears, her eyes blinked back fearfully, she had never dreamt that Ethan would one day try to "protect her" He is a hypocrite, silence hung briefly between them and a certain anger surged through her. “You mean the same power you used against me? Do you think you're any different from the rest of them?" She asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Ethan frowned and he gripped her shoulders tightly pressing her even harder into the wall, Valentina squeezed her eyes shut from fear. "I don't care what you say, Val." He whispers against her face, he grabs her jaw roughly and she winces slightly in surprise. "You won't be leaving here anytime soon." Valentina Chandler is a teenager suffering from depression and abuse from everyone around her, but despite that she struggles to get through every day, the more she tries to live a normal life, the more impossible it gets with the hope of one day having a "better life". Then there is Ethan Lords, a powerful school figure no one dared to cross and her mortal enemy who would stop at nothing to make her life more miserable. But what happens when he suddenly stops to bully her and he tells her he needs to protect her? What dangers lie ahead for Valentina? What does Ethan see that she doesn't? Who is he trying to protect her from?
View MoreWriter's P.O.V "How is the book ending?" Maurice my assistant asked me, "I thought you were working on it the previous night." "Oh yes, but I didn't like the ending." I answered her and her eyes fell towards the laptop screen, she was too strict with me, even though I didn't sleep all night while writing this ending she might still criticize me for being a shitty writer. "I like this." A small smile reached her lips. "I never liked the fact that Valentina would die at the ending, you would never reach best seller with that mentality." I was never trying to be best seller anyways, but since she approves of this ending, I know that the book is done. I will miss talking to Ethan, and also my number one fan, Valentina, even as she died she called my book, beautiful and a masterpiece. It was different from the way the toxic web readers did. But how did the book end again..."You're going to get late for your interview." Melissa yelled at Valentina, just because Valentina was trying t
Third Person's P.O.V"Travis, what are you doing here?" Valentina asked curiously before she could push the door close, he stopped it with the tip of his foot and pushed her away instead. She fell to the ground, she knew she wasn't supposed to let him come inside. "Travis." Her eyes widened when she noticed he was holding a knife again, and that was when she remember a memory that escaped her mind, that day in the crowd, she saw the person who stabbed her, and that person smiled at her. It was Travis. "What do you want?" she asked fearfully as she thought about he could be looking for, was he trying to kill her again? Or could he be looking for Ethan instead. "I see you have gotten quite close with Ethan." His eyes scanned through her angrily, and they narrowed. "You are even wearing his clothes, what is this, are you guys married now?" "What do you want?" she insisted on knowing that first. "Are you telling me you don't know? I know you remember everything, don't you try to act
Valentina's P.O.V Today is the day that Ethan said I was supposed to die, I have been in Ethan's house for the last three days and he had been nothing but kind and sweet to me. I didn't even notice just how lovely Ethan was until recently. I have been getting some very strange memories, this was probably the memories of the Valentina in the previous timeline, the Valentina that died. I thought Ethan was the one who assaulted me, but he was actually the one who helped me. I just understood just how much I had misunderstood Ethan's intentions. I didn't tell him about the strange memories that I am getting, I remember so much about us now, and even the first time he kissed me in his house. "Valentina are you okay?" Ethan asked me curiously, I was spacing out while we were cooking, he nudged me softly. "I didn't know you could cook." I mentioned as i washed the vegetables under the running water. "You cook so good." "I once told you I used to cook for my mother while she was still
Travis P.O.V“I never knew you were this kind of person.” My mother said and her eyes widened in horror as she threw a slap at me. I clenched the part of my cheeks that she hit. “Mom, I had told you not to go into my room, without my permission.” I was at the store today, because I noticed that my tapes were running out, so I went to get a new one. Mother claimed she was cleaning my room and she found my collections, pictures and videos. “You invaded my privacy.” “How dare you…” Father joined in, ah, I forgot to add that after looking through my stuff she also invited my father to see things too. “Who are those girls in the pictures and did you do that to them?” “Yes and what if I did?” I asked them curiously. “What are you going to do, are you going to hand over your precious son to the police?” I was daring them, my mother broke down in tears, and the tapes contained images of badly beaten women that I had sexually assaulted. I used the recordings as a blackmail I never needed t
Ethan's P.O.V I woke up with Valentina in my arms, her eyes were shut tightly, as she slept peacefully, a smile reached my face, and finally this is everything I wanted. Valentina and I like this, every day. She stirred slightly, and soon enough her eyes flew open, they blinked slightly as she stared back at me. At first two of us, just stared back at each other in silence, and then a small blush creeps on her face, and she tried to disengage from me. "Wait..." I whispered as i pulled her back to my chest, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "Ethan..." She whispered, i loved it whenever she calls my name like this, she was very embarrassed at the moment, and I wrapped my arms around her. "We can sleep some more." I advised. "N-No..." She muttered again. "I-I need to go home, I need to go to school." "Valentina," I turned her towards me, and she hid her eyes away from my gaze, i held her chin softly and tilted her face slightly until her eyes met mine. "We can't go anywhere u
Third Person’s P.O.V (Somewhere not so near)“I am telling you this will be a success.” Guillotine said as he closed his laptop shut and he turned towards Maurice his assistant and content editor. “We should be grateful that the reviews are coming back positively tonight.” Maurice answered with a small sigh. “To be honest with you, you are such a terrible writer.” “Oh, no Maurice, don’t do this to me.” He chuckled as he reeled himself in his chair. “Writing is the only thing I know how to do.” “Your writing has been messed up lately, I was becoming concerned for you, I was about to tell the publishers you would need some rest.” Maurice added and Guillotine noticed the sarcasm in the note as well. “But since the newest chapter had been released, the readers and subscription had increased.” “Oh…” He cracked his neck tiredly, he couldn’t care less if there are people reading the book, but one thing interested him tonight. “And the characters likability?” “Um, everyone wants Ethan t
Valentina’s P.O.VThe doctor said I could go home today, I was getting discharged, and I decided that I was going to quit school and leave home. Once I stepped out of this door now, I would be free, I would try my best to hang on to my life before I disappear completely.I stepped out of the bathroom, and that bastard, Ethan was still in the room, he was sitting on the bed, and speaking to the nurse who came to clean the room. Was it me or his hair had grown a bit longer than usual, well, I shrugged, I didn’t care.Just before I was able to slip out of the room, his voice stopped me.“Valentina,” He got up from the bed and strolled towards me, I turned back and glared at him. “Where are you going?"“I’m going home,” I answered confidently, just being close to him irked me so badly, I knew I had no right to get mad at him for not keeping my secret, but I hated the fact that he was just so carefree about it. “Thank you for the support.”I forced out between clenched teeth but Ethan didn
Ethan’s P.O.V“Valentina,” Nathan shouted again, this time even higher than before, it seemed that he was struggling with the security personnel, I withdrew from the bed, and strolled towards the door, I opened it and it was just as I presumed, he was struggling with the security personnel in front of the door. “Let me in, my sister is inside the room, Valentina!”“What is going on here?” I asked curiously as I stepped outside, only then did the security men let go of Nathan, Nathan’s brown eyes shot in my direction, and there was no sign of recognition. He didn’t recognize me, seems like Guillotine took my request into consideration. “Who is this?”I asked feigning ignorance as well, his eyes widened and a hint of recognition hit him.“You are Ethan Lords, right?” He seemed to remember me, but not more than that. “Please tell them to allow me to speak to my sister, I heard she was involved in an accident in the school.”“Of course, come inside,” I answered and the security men nodded
Ethan’s P.O.V“I said no, you can’t go home.” I rephrased as I tried to aid her understanding even better. “No matter what you do, you can’t go home unless I allow it.” I finally realized it, I can’t be soft with her, if I do, she would continue to be stubborn, I leaned in her face and she scooted backwards glaring at me. “You will stay here and leave when I allow you to.”“You can’t do that.” She snapped and I smirked. “You don’t even have any right to do this, after what you did to me, do you think I am going to listen to you?”I nodded, before pulling back, tiredly, since I was still anemic I strolled back to the couch and sat down crossing my legs again. Valentina was just too stubborn, once she had set her mind to it, she would it, she didn’t care about reasoning, what she is focused on more is her hatred for me, and there was no talking her out of it.That’s why I have decided for myself. “You have no reason to listen to me,” I shrugged my shoulders, “I will not stop you, but
Valentina’s P.O.V “Who took my money?!” I heard Ron, my stepfather’s voice from downstairs, I was in front of the vanity table, brushing my dark hair, my morning just barely started and it was already terrible. “I had four hundred in this wallet last night and I can’t find it, who the hell stole my money?” “I didn’t do it, Dad,” I heard Norah, my half-sister deny and I rolled my eyes, as the word “not again” echoed in my mind. “Me neither.” Nathan, her twin brother added and the next thing I heard was Ron’s thunderous footsteps running up the stairs, I gasped as I ran across the room to turn the locks on my door. Since both of his children had denied taking his money, that makes me the culprit, I heard a loud bang on the door and I jolted in fear almost falling. “Valentina!” He barked as he continued to bang on the door. “Open this door, right this instant!” My heavy feet dragged themselves towards my piggy bank, the one on the right corner of my room, I needed to hide my money e...
