Ana’s POV“You are going to speak to Maxwell.” Bianca harshly tells me on the line.“Why would I need to do that?” I ask her, my heart beating harshly.“Because I asked you to Anastasia, screw this up one more time and you know exactly what will happen.”Bianca threatens.Before I was very scared of Bianca's threats then I had gotten over it, putting it off because she was mymother, she only needed to control me to quench her insatiable desire of things always going the exactway she navigated it to go but now, knowing exactly what I think I know. I don't even clearly rememberwhat I heard or maybe in reality I really just want to remain in denial but Bianca is a lot of all thingsnegative so I cannot take her threats for granted anymore knowing that the woman who raised me, thewoman who I thought to be and considered a mother was not really, and she has been using me the entiretime.“Alright.” I simply say and the call goes off.“What is it?” Ryan who is sitting in front of me on
Ryan liking my words smiles at me. Maxwell's eyes remains focused on mine.“That's why you didn't bother to check up on me at the hospital, not even once?” Maxwell asks me, hiseyes shining with anger.“I didn't think it was necessary to, we would have both gained nothing from it.” I tell him my revisedwords.“You didn't think it was necessary? Do you know how desperately I waited for you to come?” Maxwellthrows at me, I blink before answering.“I knew you were well taken care of and you have Scarlett, don't you?” I definitely did not rehearse thispart.“Are they forcing you into this? If they are you can always tell me.” Maxwell and I refrain from burstinginto a sob and running to hug him like I have desperately wanted to since I saw him today.Ryan's hands tighten on my waist and I shake my head at his question, “No, this is my own personaldecision, I choose to be with the man who can care for me and protect me.” I tell Maxwell and he closeshis eyes at my painful and hurtful w
After an exhausting day at work, I return home hoping to have a good night sleep but I know that isalmost impossible while living in the same house as Ryan.I head into the house surprised to see Beatrice still awake.“Welcome home dear.” Beatrice greets me as soon as she sees me and I can immediately tell something isup and I look at her suspiciously.“Beatrice? Is everything okay?” I ask directly watching her every move and her move to the stairs beforegiving me an answer.“N-no dear, I was just waiting for you to have dinner before heading to bed, you have been skipping mymeals lately.” Beatrice tells me.I nod at words in affirmation “Not totally, I haven't really been skipping meals, I told you I do eat at worksometimes before coming home and that's why.” I explain to Beatrice.“Ohh, yes you did.” Beatrice agrees distractedly as she searches for what next to say.“Beatrice as much as I would really like to eat what you made, I'm extremely tired and in need of sleep,just put
By the time we get to Bianca and Jaxon's mansion I'm already sighing in distress. Ryan comes to my sideto hold me tightly.We step into the house and I have never felt more uncomfortable in a very long time. Bianca welcomes usinto the house with over excitement.“Oh dear, I'm so glad you could make it.” Bianca tells us and Ryan smiles at her.“We wouldn't miss this for the world, right baby?” Ryan asks me, his arm around me wound up verytightly like he feared I would disappear.I see that Scarlett's parents are here and I dread having to see Maxwell here, especially witnessing him getmarried to someone else.“Let's go say hello to my parents.” Ryan tells me while dragging me across the room. I look at him inconfusion, I wonder why I didn't think his parents would also be here, I haven't seen quite much of themsince the disaster happened at their Galla party.Ryan greets his parents first, who are standing in the middle of their fellow friends.“Dear, dear, I always knew you were
When Maxwell refuses to acknowledge me, Scarlett smirks at that and Bianca stares the attention of thecrowd from the awkward and tense air between us all.“Thank you so much for coming sister in law.” Scarlett tells me all teeth exposed out. “You have no ideahow much your presence means to me.” Scarlett says.I know exactly how much how much my presence means to you, I think to myself.“Come on everyone, the couple should go to their various seats.” Bianca says in chorus and the crowdbegins to disperse and everyone returns to their tables.“You do not have to go, you are family.” Scarlett tells me taking a hold of my hand. I breathe deeply toswallow the urge of wanting to throw her hands off me instead.“I'm fine at my table.” I firmly tell her before walking off, not waiting for anyone to be able to stop me.The ceremony kicks off in full, Maxwell barely participates in any of it, aside from the part where heannounces their official engagement and wedding date. They are to be ma
“Scarlett?” I scoff out in disbelieve, unable to comprehend what exactly my eyes were focused on rightnow.If this is not some telenovelas, I have no idea what else is.The couple in front of me jump away from each other like they just heard a bomb explode somewhere.Ryan looks speechless to find me here and Scarlett looks more than fidgety as she endlessly wrinkles herfingers in front of her, trying to fold herself into Ryan like I haven't just seen all of her.“You fucking bitch.” I say chuckling still in disbelieve. Just when I was beginning to think, she mightmake a good wife for Maxwell atleast something good out of everything filthy that she is.But what shocks me even more is what exactly is the connection between this two and the more I thinkabout it, the angrier I begin to get. If they liked each other that much, why didn't they just stay together,why try so hard to separate Maxwell and I?“Since when?” I ask the two people in front of me. “Don't bother with that anymore
“What do you mean?” Maxwell asks looking between the both of us.“Nothing, Ana was just leaving.” Scarlett rushes to say fear written over her face.“Except I am not.” I insist.Scarlett stares at me in horror and then suddenly bursts into tears that it shocks. Maxwell looks visiblydisturbed at the sight of her and the sound of her cries.“How could make such huge claims and accusations on my person? Are you really that desperateAnastasia, I apologized to you and really thought that you forgave me already.” Scarlett cries with all herstrength.“I told you I was sorry, why do you still hate me so much, you really will like it if you ruin my life andmarriage right?” Scarlett continues to cry turning to look at Maxwell.“I know I've been a lot of things Maxy, but I've been nothing more than good to you and trying hard to bea better person for you. I know you love her and you will believe her over me no matter what I say.”Scarlett says sniffs hard and in the midst of this drama, I c
"Huh, I do not think that is a good idea,” Maria says, her eyes moving from Ava to her sister.“Of course it is, we can help the Luna Queen. It would be an honor, my Luna,” Anabella rushes to say. Maria is surely the twin to think thoroughly before making a decision.“No Sorcerer has ever lived in the pack house before. The werewolves hate us, and we will never be welcomed. This will only cause strain and chaos,” Maria tries to point out.“Leave that for me to handle. Under my command, no werewolf will be able to go against my orders,” Ava says. If she wasn't in a tight position, she wouldn't make them do this. She knew and understood firsthand what it meant to be an outcast and to be hated for no reason.“Maria, I really do not want to coerce you, especially out of your own free will, but I am desperate. I am making this request to you not just as your Luna who wants to save the King, but as a mate to another and a mother. Please help me out,” Ava says emotionally. Alice comes close
