Please, I need you all to understand something about this page.
I was not joking when I said Iām back for good.
This current book deserves more than what is being portrayed right now.
Thereās nothing wrong with liking, sharing, and commenting, so please donāt find it difficult to do so.
If you feel the book isnāt good enough, then you wouldnāt have anything to comment onāand thatās exactly what you guys are doing.
So please, like, comment, and share.
Because if this continues, I will sign this book for a contract and start a new one here, since I will take the low engagement as a sign that itās boring.
This is a slow-burn obsession and toxic relationship.
It also has a Book 2.
This is just Book 1ā¦ thereās still so much you are not aware of yet, so please donāt discourage me.
If the engagement amazes me, I will post tomorrow. But if it doesnātā¦
Then till Monday.

"Don't finish that word. I regretted not aborting that bastardā¦ I don't mind if she dies in this game. She is a bastard," Queen Mother snapped.
Luna bowed her head.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I'm just saying this because Angel is a smart one, and she might find out Twilight is her younger sister," Luna muttered.
Queen Mother glared at her.
"That girl is not my daughter, and she will never be," she mumbled.
"Yes, Queen Mother," Luna muttered.
"Has Kian finally started his whole plan? I can't wait anymoreā¦ I need my daughter on my side. Angel can't keep wasting her life with that madman," Queen Mother muttered.
"I will get in touch with him, Queen Mother," Luna muttered.
"Noā¦ don't do thatā¦ he does not think straight most times. He might kill you first before killing Clyde," Queen Mother said.
"But he has no reason to kill Clydeā¦ are you sure he is on our side?" Luna muttered.
"If he doesn't have a reason to kill himā¦ I will give him one," Queen Mother smirked.
"Twilight," Luna muttered.
Queen Mother looked at her and scoffed.
"That bastard will have to bear the tragedy," she said.
A shadow that had been eavesdropping silently slipped away into the darkness.
ā
Twilight was staring into space, thinking about the whole thing.
Nothing makes sense to her, not even that... her whole life makes no sense to her.
She has been taken away from the world she knows peace in.
She misses Irish a lot. The only family she has left now is Hailey.
But Hailey is so drawn into the whole fantasy now that she thinks she can be something with that Clyde.
She rolled her eyes just by thinking about that.
"So stupid," she hissed.
"I didn't know you talk to yourself too," someone said behind her, and Twilight looked back to see who it was.
Zoey.
"Sorry... I don't think I know you," Twilight mumbled.
That's a lie.
How can't she know Zoey? She has secretly admired Zoey and Sadie working on a computer like pros.
Twilight has always dreamt of creating so many codes and video games.
While at the orphanage, she sneaks out all the time with Hailey to play a lot of video games.
And she is a top player. From there, she got the idea and interest of making her own codes and getting to create her own video games in the future. Somehow, she misses those times... when things were peaceful.
"You are bold too... I like that. At least you will survive this place with that attitude," Zoey smiled.
Twilight looked at Zoey well.
"She looks extremely young to be in this place. How can someone think killing people is the right thing to do?" Twilight thought.
Zoey coughed, and Twilight glanced at her again.
"I thought I could talk to you... but you seem not to be interested. You look my age... that's why I'm talking casually to you," Zoey said.
Twilight sighed.
"I totally get where you are going... I'm just bored over here," Twilight said, and Zoey bit her lips.
"I get that a lot... come, I know where we can both talk better," Zoey said and made to hold Twilight's hand, but Twilight moved backwards.
"Chill... I'm not going to do anything bad to you. I'm not a bitch like Catalina," Zoey said.
"I know," Twilight chuckled.
"Then come on," Zoey smiled back as she held Twilight's hand and walked away.
Maxine, who was watching everything from afar, scoffed.
"She is so good at getting attention to herself," she mumbled.
"I have to make that Catalina do something soon," Maxine muttered to herself and walked out.
Meanwhile, Zoey took Twilight to her room.
Twilight smiled as she admired Zoey's room.
Everywhere, it's all white, and it looks so classy.
Her computer and her books are all well arranged neatly.
"You like my room?" Zoey muttered, and Twilight looked at her.
"It's cool..." Twilight smiled.
"Can you stop being all weird with me? I have seen how you talk when your friends are around. Can't you be that way with me as well?" Zoey said.
I'm just surprised you are with me... you are always with your friends. I mean, two guys,"
Twilight was explaining when Everest entered the room.
They both looked at him at the same time.
"Oh, I'm sorry... I should have knocked," Everest bit his lips.
Zoey smiled secretly but shook it off immediately.
"Yeah, you should... what if I was dressing?" Zoey said.
"But you were not, kiddo, and besides, I said I'm sorry," Everest smiled at her.
"Well, you should do that again. Stop barging into my room, Everest... and why are you here?" Zoey asked.
"I... was thinking Sadie would be here... I need her to explain some coding to me," Everest mumbled, and Zoey's face fell.
"Why would Sadie be in my room?" Zoey asked.
"You both are hackers... I was thinking she would be here and you guys would be working on tracking those mo*********ng Asian assassins that shot Ellis," Everest said.
"Well, you are wrong... she is not here, and you know we don't work together. We only work together when Clyde or Venom want us to," Zoey said.
Everest nodded slowly.
"I get that... do you want us to go out to get ice cream? I want to go get one for myself," Everest said.
Twilight just watched both of them and couldn't help but smile inwardly.
"No... I am with Twilight, and I don't feel like having ice cream," Zoey mumbled, trying to hide the fact that she was hurt.
Was he looking for Sadie so they could go together? So she is not here, and she is the second choice.
"Wow, you are saying no to ice cream... that's new," Everest muttered.
"I will get it anyways, in case you change your mind," he said and turned to Twilight.
"What flavor do you like, Minnie angel?" he asked, and Twilight frowned.
"It's Twilight," she said.
"Oh, my bad," Everest muttered.
"Yes, call me by my name, and if you are asking me for the flavor I love... I love mint," she said.
"Mint?" Everest said, and Zoey chuckled.
"Yes," Twilight said.
"Okay... cool, bye girls," Everest said and walked out.
Zoey bit her lips slowly and looked at Twilight.
"So what do you love doing?" she asked.
Twilight could sense that Zoey was hurt and she was trying to get over it, so she decided to be a bit free with her then.
"I love reading coding books... I have dreams of becoming a great video game creator," she said.
Twilight nodded her head slowly.
"But I know what we do that is fun," Zoey muttered.
"Hmm, tell me," Twilight chuckled.
"I'm the best at coding, even though Sadie is more smart... I can still help one way or the other," Zoey said.
"You sound like you don't like what you do," Twilight said.
"Yeah... something like that, but we can talk about that later... I will be your teacher, and you will be the student till you get perfect. If you need Sadie's help... we will go to her," Zoey said, and Twilight smiled.
"Thanks, Zoey," Twilight said.
"I didn't do anything... I just hope you get to be a pro soon," Zoey said.
Twilight smiled.
"Well, I hope so too... and I pray I get to get out of this hellish boring place soon," Twilight muttered inwardly
"So you don't mind working together with someone you are not friends with because you want to help me?" Twilight asked.
"Look, I know it is weird with the sudden friendship, but I like you and your gut... the way you taught Catalina a lesson is cool. I love bad bi***es like you, and I also think I want a friend that won't think of me as a child... I'm fu***ng 19," Zoey muttered.
"So you are not friends with the mute girl?" Twilight asked.
"Huh, Sadie? No, she is not my friend. Sadie isn't friends with anyone except for the late Angel," Zoey said.
"Oh," Twilight muttered.
ā
Clydeās room*
Clyde is looking extremely pale but still smoking while staring at the mirror.
He rested his head on the chair he is sitting on.
Catalina barged in almost immediately.
"Clyde," she called and walked to him.
Every year on this day... Clyde does not always look fine. He is always pale and extremely sick. Even before Angel died, he does not always look fine on this particular day, and Angel happened to die on this particular day... it's almost like a bad thing would always occur on that day.
Three years ago, Clyde almost died because he was stubborn to go out for some work while being sick and almost got killed.
Catalina sighed out.
She expected him to be this way.
"Get out," Clyde said calmly.
"What's going on with you... you don't even call me anymore, and why can't you just let me take care of you right now? You are not alwaysā"
Clyde cut in again.
"Not now, Cat... get out," Clyde said again.
Catalina smiled.
She knew why she is here... on this particular day, Clyde is always a different person. He is always somehow softhearted and more calm.
She just knows it can be of advantage to her.
Maybe she can get a taste of him just this once.
She stared at Clyde, trying to get a full look... he looks more hot with his eyes closed.
Is it crazy that she is feeling so wet right now, staring at his pale face?
He looks more handsome while being sick.
"I wish he can get sick like this all the time," Catalina muttered to herself and made to touch his face when Blaire walked in.
"What do you think you are doing?" he asked immediately.
Catalina rolled her eyes and faced him.
"Who are you to ask me that... you should leave while I'm being nice," Catalina said.
"Leave," Blaire muttered.
"And if I don't?" Catalina snapped.
Clyde frowned from his sleep but remained quiet.
Blaire noticed the discomfort in Clyde and glared at Catalina.
He walked fast to Catalina and carried her up.
"Hey... fu***ng put me down!" she screamed at the top of her voice while struggling with Blaire.
Blaire finally carried her out of the room.
Meanwhile, Clyde had fallen into his deep dream as always.
Clydeās eyes are tightly closed... it's like he is busy fighting his dream.
Meanwhile, in his deep sleep... he is currently having a dream that seems like a nightmare to him.
- The dream -
Clyde is staring at the younger version of himself, who is smiling all weirdly at him.
Clyde frowned coldly.
"It's you again," he muttered coldly.
"You still have not changed your cold attitude... maybe if you pay more attention, you can recollect we are both the same," the younger version of himself muttered
Clyde groaned.
"F**k."
"You still have not found who killed Mom and Dad that day... you are wasting more time, and you have enough enemies but are preying for more," young Clyde muttered.
Clyde only stared at his younger self coldly.
He just wants this dream to be over soon.
He closed his eyes, trying to fight it to wake up.
But instead, it's like he is being taken to another memory entirely.
"Bunny?" a little girlās voice muttered.
Clyde opened his eyes as he stared at the little girl in front of him.
"Why are you looking so pale? You are not having enough pancakes?" she smiled at him.
"You are just a memory... I'm sure I will get done with this as well," Clyde mumbled, and the little girl laughed.
"You are trying to be cold. It really does not suit you," she smiled.
"You have a perfect life, right? Don't tell me you ended up miserable like me," Clyde groaned, and she only stared at him.
Clyde made to talk but he felt woozy. Everything started getting blurry, but he kept trying to fight it.
Meanwhile, Blaire is trying to wake him up from his sleep.
"Boss," he called out.
"Boss... Clyde," he called again.
Clyde opened his eyes slowly as tears slipped out of his eyes.
"F**k," Blaire muttered as he touched Clydeās temperature.
He is fu***ng burning up.
"Get me... light," Clyde managed to say.
"You... are not yourself right now," Blaire muttered.
"Just get me Twilight," he said calmly.
Blaire nodded his head.
He really hates this side of Clyde because Clyde always feels so much pain whenever he is softhearted like he is right now.
He walked out immediately.
ā
Catalina's Room
She sat quietly, staring into space.
Maxine walked into the room, licking a sweet.
"It's so nice to see you havenāt destroyed your whole room after Blaire threw you out like a homeless dog," she chuckled.
But Catalina remained quiet.
Maxine smirked.
"Interesting," she grinned.
"What can I do to that Twilight of a girlā¦ I want her gone from this clan. I want to make things so miserable for her and watch her die slowly right in front of me," Catalina muttered.
"Now you are thinking straight. I love it," Maxine said.
"I have a plan, and it's going to be extremely perfectā¦ now that Clyde will be away for three days," Maxine added.
Catalina smiled.
"Tell me more," she grinned.
ā
Meanwhile, Twilight had just left Zoey's roomā¦ it was already so late at night.
She didnāt realize how late it was until Everest bought their ice cream.
Today was sort of fun for her. She learned new things and managed to learn so fast that she surprised even herself.
She always saw herself as a very dumb personā¦ so how did she learn so fast?
She stared at the books Zoey gave her while walking toward the maid dorm.
She didnāt notice when someone suddenly pulled her aside and used a cloth to cover her nose and mouth.
She tried to struggle, but everything happened so fast.
She could only feel herself getting dizzy.
Am I getting kidnapped again?
"My life is overā¦" she thought weakly as darkness slowly consumed her.
ā
Twilight opened her eyes slowly as a bucket of water was poured on her.
"Hmmā¦" she groaned, feeling discomfort as she realized she was tied to a chair.
Both her hands and legs were bound tightly.
"Noā¦ noā¦ this isn't happening again. Did I really get kidnapped?" she cried silently.
She looked around but couldnāt find who poured the water.
She struggled against the ropes.
"Let go of meā¦ please, let me go!" she screamed.
"Why are you doing this to me? I'm not the fu***ng Angel or whatever you call herā¦ I'm Twilight. Please, let me go!" she cried out at the top of her voice.
"Careful, wifeyā¦ you should calm the f**k down."
A familiar voice spoke as he stepped out of the shadows, watching her the whole time.
Kianās face came into view, and Twilight stared at him.
No doubtā¦ Kian was extremely handsome, almost as handsome as Clyde. He looked so hot, but unlike Clydeās calm, baby faceā¦ Kian had a strange, unsettling smile.
"Whā¦ who are you?" Twilight asked.
"I'm your husbandā¦ the one and only Kian," he muttered.
"Are you perhaps crazy like Clyde? I'm not Angelā¦ I'm Twilight. So donāt fu***ng hold me hostage. If Clyde finds out Iām here, heās going to be fu***ng upset!" Twilight yelled as tears slipped down her face.
Kian chuckled.
"I hate the fact that you're praising him right now. Do you think Clyde would come over here to save you? What do you think this isā¦ some stupid movie?" he said, stepping closer.
"I'm not praising himā¦ IāIā¦ please, take a step back!" Twilight screamed.
Kian frowned.
"That bastard touched you?" he scoffed.
Twilight quickly shook her head.
"Please stop this madness and let me go. I am not your wifeā¦ I'm just 19," she hiccuped.
Kian groaned.
Her cries turned him on.
He walked closer and held her face still.
"I really hate sharingā¦ and I'm sure he hasn't done this yet. Iāll be happy to ease your pain," he said.
Twilight struggled as he suddenly smashed his lips against hers.
She shook her head, fighting, but his grip was too strong.
Her strength didnāt match his.
Tears streamed down her face as she helplessly endured it.
She closed her eyes tightlyā¦ then did the only thing she could think of.
She bit his lips hard until they bled.
Kian smirked and pulled away, staring at her teary eyes.
"Good thing you marked your hubby so fast, wifey."
"Now you are mine."
