The big party hold by S.V group of companies isn’t something anyone in the entire city of York will want to miss, it’s a rare chance to meet the president of S.V who rarely meet anyone although his vice president is available but seeing the president is once in a year and that’s doing the company anniversary, after that no one is able to meet with him except Mr. Fisher his vice while so says the rumor if not for the fact that he’s always refer to as the vice president many people would have thought he’s the real owner of S.V.
Like other businessmen, Mr. Dothad also came to the party hoping to meet with the president along with his family although Selena came with her fiancé Dylan, Shaina who is uninterested in whatever they were doing except the food and drinks sat down on the table offered to them to have her fill, her mother cautioned several times to stop eating and go look for a man to hook up with
“Find a man to dance with and stop stuffing your face with food, maybe you will also be lucky to find a husband for yourself” Mrs. Dothad snap at her pulling the plates away from her front
“Am not interested in that, I’m really hungry” Shaina said and drag the plate of food back to herself
“The same attitude you exhibited when your sister entered college to study a good course, same attitude when she became the successor of the family and now she’s getting married soon” her mother nag at her again
“Can’t you atleast struggle to meet up with your sister?”
“Meet up with her?” Shaina asked ironically
“all my life I’ve been trying to meet up with Selena and supersede her but I always get disappointed, you and dad never see the hardworking part of me yet you want me to be a filial daughter” she resorted angrily and stood up from the table
“I lost my appetite” she said before walking away
Shaina walk outside the terrace to clear her head it’s obvious her mother will try arguing with her and nagging at her if she doesn’t leave, thinking about all what she’s been through Shaina hissed loudly
ever since she found out her parents cherished good grades like a god she has always tried to please them by scoring higher grades in her class but then Selena is a genius who no matter what always top the whole school, so their parent attention, hope and love was placed on her.
Although she never wanted to admit it but she was envious of her elder sister who always gets everything she wanted while she doesn’t even the man she has her hopes on is taken away by her and she’s left with nothing than to continue being her sister’s shadow.
Still thinking about her life, Shaina got distracted by the sounds of footsteps approaching she look towards the direction to see who’s coming and seeing Selena figure she immediately want to retreat, she’s sure to look for trouble with her and they might end up getting physical even though she has nothing she should atleast keep her image in a place like this
“Where are you going sister?” Selena step forward to stop her from leaving
“I’m not in the mood Selena” she said uninterested but look ahead to see three other girls, well apparently Selena’s classmates back in high school
“Seems like you and your friends need some privacy, I will excuse you then” she rush her words and try escaping from the place
“Oh my God Shaina, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten us so soon” one of the girls said and stood between Selena and her
“Of course not, we are friends aren’t we?” another replied and also walk further, Shaina could see Selena big grin behind the girls she has brought them just to bully her
“Why are you guys here?” she asked bracing up
“That’s a silly question Shaina, we are business women and we have every right to be here, but you...” the tall one said and move closer to her, she pat her shoulders roughly
“What are you doing here? You are not a business person or are you here to eat up all the foods” she said and the four shared a laugh
“I know what you are trying to do Trisha but I won’t let you get to me, we are not in high school where you will bully me and I will just take it”
“Oh little Shaina is speaking up” they mocked but Shaina sigh and ignore their jeering
“You know Shaina you are always trying to beat your sister but you can never win her, I heard you are preying on her man isn’t that a shameless thing to do?”
Shaina clasped her hands trying to keep her anger in check, so what they are all about is Dylan, her sister must have reported to her friends she had tried to steal her man
“Selena knows very well who the thief is, I really don’t have time for this” she said and made to walk away again
one of the girls stretch her legs in her way and she ended up on the floor annoyed more than ever Shaina stood up from the floor and gathered all her strength to push first person who lose balance and fall on the rest landing all four on the floor
“You bugs!” she yell
“What is going on here?” Dylan rush in and help Selena who is already getting up, the other three ladies got up on their feet and stand behind him, Shaina understood the act immediately Selena has always resort to self-pity so this is nothing new
“I told you Shaina really likes you but you didn’t believe me” Selena sniffing a fake cry
“What are you talking about?”
“She got angry about you rejecting her and came over to meet my friends and me to pick a fight” she explained and her friends nodded affirmatively at her explanation, Shaina saw the look of disappointment on Dylan’s face as he look straight at her
“I can’t believe you could be this childish Shaina” he said and turn to console Selena hugging her
“Selena is my fiancé now and I hope you respect that and leave her alone, you have business with me not her”
“No Dylan, I don’t have business with any of you”
“Stop the pretense Shaina you are still obsessed with Dylan and want him for yourself, you are so shameless” one of the ladies cut in
“I know you’ve always like me but I’m with your sister now you should realize that and let go” Dylan said again annoying her
“So you know I’ve always liked you yet you kept me by your side giving me false hope?” she asked disappointed
she always thought Dylan was innocent and didn’t realize her feelings for him so she keep trying to make him fall in love with her but hearing that he was aware of her feelings yet deceive her all the way got her mad with anger and frustration
Can this drama ever come to an end? She had made up her mind to forgive them and find her own path but with the present situation now Shaina suddenly feel like letting them both have a taste of their own medicine, she should make Dylan regret choosing her sister over her
“I’m sorry Shaina but then you shouldn’t take out your frustration on your older sister and her friends” she glare hard at him but in a second release her glare on him and give a smirk instead
“You are right Dylan, you are my past now so you don’t mean anything to me anymore and besides I shouldn’t have pick on my weak sister and her friends” Selena smiling face turn to a frown hearing what she’s saying
“So you know I already have a fiancé so I don’t need to be jealous of anyone” she informed but the look on everyone’s face shows they didn’t believe her
“I don’t care if you believe me or not but I will be sure to invite you to my wedding” she said and bounce out of the place feeling victorious even though the lie is almost unbelievable atleast it got Selena, her face looks horrible, Shaina smile to herself as she went back inside to enjoy the party.
But then her enjoyment didn’t last long as Selena approaches her again this time without her friends, she pull her to a corner of the grand hall in threatening anger. Shaina who was unprepared for the sudden pull lost her steps and hit the wall roughly
“What is wrong with you?” she yelled at her but her voice sounded so low as the sound in the room overpower it
“you are always standing in my way sister, all my life you always envy what I want but today am gonna get rid of you once and for all” she stated and got Shaina confused for a moment
What exactly did she mean by that? She wondered, all their life she’s always the one compromising because of her and she always covet whatever she wanted so what’s up with the accuse
“Have you lost your wit?” Shaina was saying when Selena brought out a substance in a bottle and advance to pour the content on her.
Shaina shrieks in fright not knowing what the bottle contains, her sister can be crazy sometimes and no doubt harm her.
She put her hands up to block her face from the attack but then a strong hand grab Selena’s and she drop the bottle in sharp pain letting out a yell, Shaina who was prepared for whatever is coming to her quickly open her eyes and stare at the massive figure in front of her.
“Who…”
She sighted Selena whining in pain at the mercy of the stranger whose face was concealed because of his long hair, he looks scary but then Shaina couldn’t care much at that moment now is the time, she watch the stranger let go of her sister before rushing to his side and locking her arm with his.
The eyes staring at her seems a bit abnormal as the colour of his eyes seems to shine brighter than the light in the hall, she look to see Selena regaining herself from the pain and cleared her voice hurrily
“Your look horrible sis” she mocked and Selena glare at her and the stranger beside her
“Who is this?” she smirked holding her almost twisted wrist
“Is he some sort of bodyguard?”
“Are you blind sis? Or did you hit your head somewhere?” she said and struggle to keep her arm together with the stranger’s
“This is my husband!” she said, dropping a bomb on Selena’s face.
The human world is a bigger place full of different and new things for Samael to see and learn although he has familiarize himself with this different world but he never felt so secured to live there unlike his own world in the forest.Since he needed solution to his fast changing nature the human world is the only place where he can possibly find his cure, the atmosphere in the room changed and Samael growl silently in curse at the changed tide, he stood up from his seat and gaze around the large room to see what caused the sudden change.“Human Females!” he groan again and tried to suppress the hard feeling inside of himthe girls dressed in skimpy and exposed clothes walk towards him with loud chattering and stop just a step from him squeaking happily at the handsome man in front of them.“Hi” one of the girls greeted with the sexiest voice she could muster and the rest followed showing theirselves to him hoping to get lucky wit
Shaina knowing that her sister just wanted to put her in a difficult situation glare at her clutching her handsthe strong desire to win and prove her wrong came over her and rather that admit her lies she felt like going deep into her lie“Yes!” she affirmed “yes it’s true” she answered forcing a bright smile on her face“Who is he? How could you get together with a man without informing us first?”“Why can’t I? Selena got together with my first love without informing me also” she said feeling upset at herself for showing her emotional feeling“So where is this husband of yours sister?” Selena asked still in a mockery toneshe was sure her sister is just lying and putting on a drama, there is no way she could get over Dylan so quickly and get herself to that man she saw back then or any man for that matterSlowly with mixed feelings Shaina
The small alarm clock from the bedside rings making Shaina wake up from her short slumber, giving a low hiss she make her way to the bathroom first to wash her face. Afterward she pick up her cell phone to check her messages and was surprise to see many messages from Dylan, still angry at him she ignore the messages and scroll over the rest‘nothing about last night’ she thought as she kept on checking to see if any post was made about yesterday’s party, sighing in relief she made her way out of her room hoping to find some breakfast to eat.“Look who is here, Miss. Liar” Selena remarked mockingly the second she saw her out of the room, putting on her favorite green nightwear Shaina knew she slept over again. When they finished high school Selena has requested to live alone and learn to be independent but then after leasing an apartment for her she hardly live there but rather comes home on the account of missing their parents and wanting to s
The smoke-filled forest appear to be acclimatize with her as she walk effortlessly in it with no ounce of fear or worry in her, it was like she was happy to be back to where she belongs which she had left for a long period.In her eagerness to get home, she step on something that felt a bit hard and colder on her bare feet, she jump up at her gut feeling that it wasn’t something good, looking at the ground carefully she sighted the crawled animal with it eyes shining brightly at her.Realizing what it was she couldn’t hold herself and freak out almost immediately as she yelled out loudly“Snake!”In that instant, Shaina regain her consciousness and jump off from where she was lying down in panic, she wanted to run out of the room but soon realize she just had a dream and nothing more.Relieved, she sighs out and sit down back on the bed letting herself relax a bit more, she put her hands over stomach feeling so hungry,
Dothad paces around panicked at the news of Shaina’s disappearances since the early morning, he knows she could be one stubborn child but she’s not a strong child who could endure much, just a little and she breaks down immediately The police hasn’t called since he reported the incident and neither did any of the places she visit has information about her whereabouts, he really hope nothing happens to her if not he’s going to blame himself for being too harsh on her always “Dad, could you stop please? I’m getting a headache here” Selena complained crossing her arms Dothad turned to her and gaze angrily, the two women in front of him has shown no care in finding his missing daughter rather they wish she will never return, he knew they dislike Shaina but not this much hatred, it’s like they want her out forever “Shouldn’t you be worried for your sister?” he asked “What sister? That girl is one trouble I have in my life, the best that can happen is for her to be out of my life
Shaina look at the empty hall and emptiness fill her heart, she might have been too rash in her attempt to beat her own sister that she didn’t think of the consequences her action and decision might cause her life She is going all out in getting married to the man she hasn’t known for more than twenty four hour and now she’s having her dream wedding crush too, this is not the kind of life she had hope to live but maybe this one would be better Mr. Fisher signal to them to both sign the consent papers that ascertain that they are married to each other “Why this and not a marriage certificate?” she asked, she’s not about to become a hidden wife instead “We can’t get a marriage certificate now but I promise to bring it later” “What’s she asking for?” Samael asked facing Fish
The night drew near and Samael know he need to go back to the forest before it’s late, although he could leave for a long time now but he can’t stay outside his pool on a red moon night.He look at his human wife lying on the bed and he doesn’t feel like leaving her alone tonight, it is their wedding night afterall and she has lost all her energy due to the strong magic cast he madeIt’s been more than eight hours since she’s been sleeping and showing no sign of waking up, Ian had come over earlier and suggest that they take her to the hospital but he was against it and even refuse him staying to watch herSamael gave her a last gaze and decide to take his leave before it is too late, he has only few minutes to get inside the soothing poolClosing the door behind him, Samael went for the only door he created with an entry to the forest directly and went in, disappearing into the other worldSamael str
"Your eyes looks beautiful” Shaina find herself say as her eyes glue to his faceSamael let go of her after making sure she won’t fall and blink his eyes making the box disappears immediately“How did you get here?” she asked looking aroundShe did not hear the door open neither any footsteps but then he is suddenly in front of herHe ignore her question and gaze at her instead, the box she just try to touch is some item that he has made invisible along with few things which only a mystic eyes could see, no ordinary human like her should be able to see or touch itShaina turn her face away getting a bit intimidated under his gaze, she look again to the spot where the box is and find it empty“Huh?” she arched her brows looking confounded and still at the space“Where is the box?”“How do you see it?” Samael asked curious&ldqu
