Anastasia’s POVBack from the hospital, I couldn't feel the vast feeling of peace and confidence. For the first time, I felt slightly happy. Finally, Grandma got the treatment she deserved. I thought it would never be 6. I did it, I worked for it.I came to a halt outside the Morray Mansion, and 6 I paid for the cab I boarded. My eyes searched the vicinity before proceeding to the door, feeling fulfilled. I was back on time before Jace. At least, he wouldn’t know anything about what I had done.“Bloody!” I exclaimed the moment I walked into the house and found him sitting on the couch in the living room. He had a glass in his hands, while his other hand rested on the arms chair. I was dumbfounded, and different questions tumbled in my mind, I thought he wasn’t around. He was not supposed to be at home by this time of the day.He noticed my presence and raised his head up, staring at him he creased his brow, then dropped the glass on the stool beside him.I could instantly tell I was in

Anastasia’s POVMy world came crumbling before my own eyes, that moment I found him standing beside a man, he had a gun in his hands, I stood gapping at him, trembling with uncertainty, I couldn’t be real, but my eyes strolled over to the man who laid in a pool of his own blood, immediately my body heated up.Jace had just shot the guard who was meant to follow me out today, he didn’t deserve it, I made him stay behind, he shouldn’t be lying there, it’s all my fault, how heartless could he be?I took to my heels, running down the rolls of stairs, “What have you done!” I shoved him backward, but he only moved a step, my knees fell to the floor, beside the man who still held his broken knee with his hands, crying at the top of his voice, there was no way I could help him.“He didn't deserve this, he did nothing to you! Why are you so heartless!” my hands slammed hard on his chest, hitting it with everything I had, till my wrist was sore, he didn’t do anything, not even as little as a fl

Anastacia’s POVIt started with a tender feeling on my cheek, too real to be a dream, It came as a shock when I opened my eyes just to see Jace so close to me, his hands on my neck.“ Please don't kill me!” I screamed running to the far end of the bed, to save myself from the deadly clutches of his hands.He stood before me, his mouth slightly gaped open, As he gawked at me. “ Why would you say that?” he asked, my eyes strolling over to the tray of food on the table, was he planning to strangle me, and eat beside my corpse?“That’s what you enjoy isn't it?” I voiced, still frightened by his presence in the room.He walked further toward me and it felt like I should submerge myself in the wall, he noticed how frightened I was and then came to a halt.“It’s odd that you see me that way”.“ Wow, I am sorry for my assumptions, you make it so easy not to see you wrongly”, he asked like he wasn’t the same man who threatened my life, because of something unnecessary.“ That’s not why I came

Jace“Nothing,” she whispered.I yelled at her, I couldn't hold it anymore. She was starting to irritate me.I had been trying to console myself all through the day so I wouldn't ruin it, but now she had made sure, she pestered me enough to provoke me.I stared back at her, and noticed that her eyes were slightly moist with tears. I would have left her to cry all she wanted because she deserved it anyway, but that would only ruin my plan.I had already done enough, to think of backing down just because of a mere question.“The call came from work, it was something that needed my urgent attention,” I said, but I could tell that she didn't buy it.“I can’t proceed if you don’t look at me at least.”My hands reached for her chin, making her stare at me, there were tears in the corner of her eyes. So flimsy.“I didn’t mean to yell at you, I have just been so stressed out that’s why I am acting out, please forgive me.”My hands caressed her thighs, but she removed them immediately, blinkin

Lucy’s POV“ Stop it, you are hurting me!”I held her hands not letting go, as I watched her cry, she tried effortlessly to pull her hands away, but as always I was stronger than her, “you can't run away now, why did you leave the house?”“ I did not leave your house, let me go!”Once more she decided to make a fool out of me, but i couldn't let that, first she ran out of the house for days, then she dyed her hair, just to claim a different identity, “ i will hurt you if it pleases me,you slut”, she finally freed her hands, but plummeted to the floor immediately.I watched her crawl backward with her elbow, her eyes were red from all the crying,whenever she looked this miserable all i feel is oy, unexplainable joy, “ don't run away from your reality” i said , as i walked up to her, i pulled her by her legs, then back to where i stood, she fought all the way, but I didn't care, i dragged her on the floor making sure she felt every ounce of embarrassment.“Let me go!”“I won’t”She
