Isabella
The scene before me made me angry, and it began to irritate me. I turned away and left the place where I had been hiding, watching the two couples reconcile.
It made me annoyed, and I grew green with envy. I walked away with a frown on my face and my hands clenched.
I met Stephen in front and quickly turned around, clutching onto my fast-beating heart.
"Hey…" He seemed to call, and I exhaled deeply before turning to face him.
"Did… Did you call my name?" I asked, trying to keep myself from getting nervous.
"Yes, you," He replied and walked up to me before stopping. "You are Isabella, right?"
"Obviously," I answered, looking away.
"Why do you act strange whenever we meet?" He asked, and I looked at him with a strong look on my face.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, my voice bolder and deeper than before.
"Wait a minute!" He yelled, pointing at my face. "Have we met before?"
"Excuse me?" My voice shook as I took a few steps backward.
"It's just that you look very familiar," He said, and I quickly shook my head.
"I'm sorry, but we haven't met before. I should leave now. Excuse me," I said and walked away from him briskly.
I didn't want to go to my room, so I went to Laura's bedroom instead.
"Oh, my!" She gushed excitedly, a happy look on her face. "What are you doing here? Did you come to see me?"
Instead, tears started streaming down my eyes, and my face turned sad and miserable. Laura's face went confused, and she quickly got on her feet.
"What is it? Tell me what happened?" She asked.
Despite wiping off my tears from my face, fresh ones wouldn't stop staining there. I just let out a depressed and frustrated sigh before sitting on the sofa. Laura sighed deeply as well, as she was worried before sitting close to me.
"Isabella. Can you just stop crying and tell me what is going on?" Laura asked, staring at me.
"It's that woman," I said, and her eyes grew wide.
"Vivian? What's the problem again?" Laura asked, growing curious, and also hoping that she didn't cause something big.
"That woman came back with the Lycan King. They are together again!" I screamed, sobbing, and she gasped.
"What? Why? How?" She asked, and I explained the whole story to her, from the beginning to end without leaving a single piece out.
Laura bit her lower lip, her face looked upset. "I guess Damien didn't give his all. Pathetic!"
"So, what are we going to do?" I asked, wiping my never-ending tears.
She faced me and let out a soft sigh. "Now, that we don't have a choice, we shall use the last card"
"What… What is that?" I stuttered.
Laura smirked, and moved closer to me, before placing her lips against my left ear. She whispered a bunch of things, and my eyes widened.
"Are you sure about that? Won't the Lycan King be hurt that we released his secret?" I asked, and she quickly placed her finger against her lips.
"Sshh… Like I said before, this is the last card. There could be a lot of consequences, but I don't care, I'm going to risk them all," She whispered, and I smiled wickedly.
