All Chapters of Reborn By Fire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

***CRUELLA'S POV*** Cruella, are you okay?” Carly asked, her expression that of genuine concern. It brought me a little comfort to know that she knows all my secrets now and that I could talk to her about anything. I smiled, letting go of the blouse in my hand. I still didn't want to believe we were actually going to the human world and then back to my university. I wondered if the humans there would remember my face; it would be a consolation if they didn't, especially because of my online humiliation. “I...I can't go back there. Can't I just pretend to be sick or something?” I asked, but Carly shook her head. “How can you be sick? Even I don't even remember falling ill since my childhood.” She replied. “But what if they recognize me? I was only able to pull through after Ethan, thanks to Swayer. What am I going to do now?” I asked, my eyes filling up as memories of Swayer resurfaced. I thought I would have overcome the pain of losing her by now, but it still hurts like hell. I gu

Cruella's body heated up even more the moment their lips touched. She felt a rush of electricity flow through her spine all the way to her toes. She kissed him back immediately, digging her hands into his curly dark hair. Jason's hand went underneath her top from behind, caressing her back as he walked towards the wall, pinning her against it. He kissed her deeply, sucking and nibbling on her bottom lip while Cruella ached her back a little, grinding herself against him. Jason broke the kiss, trailing kisses on her chin, down to her neck, earning soft and intoxicating moans from Cruella. “You don't know how long I've been wanting to do this.” Jason whispered against her skin, adding more heat to Cruella's already burning body. She pulled his head back up and reconnected their lips, sliding her tongue into his mouth in a desperate way. She wasn't thinking straight at that moment, all she wanted was for that feeling to die down, that lust and craving. Cruella got down from Jason's wai

***CRUELLA'S POV***“Sebastian! Sebastian!” I kept calling out to Seb while chasing him down the hallway. We had returned to the campus after the incident to avoid any more accidents and Sebastian hadn't said a word to me ever since.“Would you please stop ignoring me?!” I yelled and he finally stopped walking.“Is this really how little you value me, Cruella?” Sebastian asked, and I could tell he was hurt by the look in his eyes.“What are you talking about? You know very much that I care about you a lot—”“No you don't, Cruella. If you did you wouldn't have kept the truth from me!” Sebastian snapped while running a hand through his curly brown hair.“Seb, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt your feelings —”“No, you didn't tell me because you didn't think I would be able to handle it. You told Jason of all people, the guy you dislike and not me whom you're dating?”“Jason is my mate, Sebastian! I admit I hated his gut at first but he had proven that he's not the arrogant

***AUTHOR'S POV***Zina stared at the photos on her table as she tried to make sense of everything. The case had been closed for over eight months but she had the feeling that there was more to it than anyone could phantom. The bite marks, the claws, the crime scenes, she felt it was all related to that fire. She brought out the photos of the two students who were the victims of the tragic accident, Swayer Sapphire and Cruella D'vile. She stared at Cruella's photo again and a frown settled on her face. “I can't be mistaken. She is definitely the same person.” Zina muttered to herself as she stared intently at the picture. “What are you doing?” Zina immediately shuffled the photos together the moment she heard the voice before looking up.“Oh, it's nothing. I was just going through some old stuff.” She said as she tried packing them but one fell off. “You don't have to stop because of me. I told you to feel free to do whatever you want. Thomas and I are more than happy to have you

***CRUELLA'S POV***I was led into the office, along with Principal Hai and Detective Zina, my heartbeat accelerating with every step. When we were all seated, Principal Hai turned to the detective, her gaze calm and yet calculative.“Can you tell me what this is about now, Detective?” Principal Hai asked, breaking the silence.“I wanted to speak with your student about a case I'm working on, I just need to ask a few questions and then I'll take my leave.” Zina responded with a warm smile, but I could sense sarcasm in her words. This wasn't just about asking a few questions, it never is with these people. “And what case is that if I may ask? What has it got to do with my student?”“Cruella, are you familiar with these faces?” Zina asked as she brought out some photo cards from the file she was holding, while Principal Hai just stared at me, her expression unreadable but obviously expectant of my response.I slowly lowered my gaze to the table and unintentionally clenched my fists.
