Ethan’s P.O.V“So you don’t have much time left?” Nathan finally calmed down and we sat inside my car, he had finally gotten to understand me. “Then how do you intend to save Valentina, when you only have thirty years left? You could die.”“There must be something I could do to help,” He suggested his brows knitting in worry. “Why don’t I offer my lifeline this time around?”I paused for a while, that was true, but I don’t think a lifeline from someone who isn’t one of the main characters would be appreciated; however he is still a child, and I didn’t even know if he had much time.I could never allow him to do something like that.“No,” I concluded out loud and his face fell. “I can’t allow you to do something so dangerous.”“But Valentina is my sister.” He argued even further. “At this point you need help, and I am willing to give it a try.”“No.” I declared.“But why?” His tone fell at the end. “Why do you go so far for my sister? She doesn’t even trust you so well, but you are ris
Ethan’s P.O.VA small gasp escaped my lips I forgot I was supposed to remove my current age from the palm line. If that was the case, then I have just nine years left, which was nearly insufficient. Now, what am I going to do? How was I going to convince him to let Valentina live?“You see how dumb you are, Ethan.” I could hear him cackle and cold sweat peeled from my forehead, I swallowed the lump that was starting to build up in my throat, nine years is less than half of the years I am trying to bargain with. “Now, what else do you have to give to me?”His menacing voice came back and once again I was speechless because I didn’t have any other thing to offer him, there was nothing I could give to him, but if he could make use of the nine years left for me then…“I would give my life in exchange for hers,” I answered confidently hoping that I wasn’t just making a fool out of myself, there was a long pause on the other end of the phone, and I could tell he was contemplating it, it see
Ethan’s P.O.VI was never the villain of the book, which means that should be Travis's initial role, the one who kills Valentina, the one who prevents the male lead from being with the female lead that was Travis's role. Since he had switched places with me, I am now the antagonist, I am the one stopping him from being with Valentina, but since he was an original villain, he chose to kill her instead.If he was able to transfer the responsibility for that night to me, then does that mean that he was the initial assailant? “About what happened on the night of the school trip,” I started eagerly, “Who was the one who assaulted Valentina and spread those videos? Since you are the author you should know.”He might refuse to tell me but I wanted to try asking as well.“Travis did.” He answered cautiously. “Travis was the one who assaulted Valentina and spread those videos to the school.”My breathing became shaky, and I froze for a bit, I could hardly believe it, Travis wasn’t the kind of
Valentina’s P.O.VThe pain in my sides woke me up, my eyes opened lazily, and my eyesight was hazy, still, I was wide awake because of the stinging pain in my sides. It felt as though I had just woken up from my longest dream. Someone had stabbed me amongst the crowd, it was a tall man in a black hoody, it was unfortunate but I didn’t see his face.I deserved it.Being the daughter of someone who took away something very precious to him, I understood that he wanted revenge and I bear him no grudge, and if at all anything I had wished he hit something vital so I could finally die in peace.Damn that Ethan to hell, I turned on my sides and he was sitting right there on the couch, his arms folded and his head lowered slightly, I couldn’t tell if he was sleeping or not, and I scoffed slightly angered by his presence.What right did he have to be here? After that nasty prank, he was the only one who knew about my father’s true identity, and I am pretty sure it was because he discussed it a
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
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
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
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
