1 Chapter 1

I BENT my head down against my two palms. I was choking and sobbing. I'm not embarrassed by how I look like right now. I know this would sound desperate, but damn it! This is not the end of my and Fiore's story.

"Please Fiore, listen to me. I had no idea it wasn't you!" I knelt on my knees, hoping he would hear me.

"Are you serious, Miranda? Do you think I'm a fool to still forgive you after all this?"

I stood back up and almost hugged him. But I was nothing more than a speck of dust in his ferocious hand. While the arsehole that planted all of these things stood there looking out the window. After what he did, he was even able to go sightseeing.

I dashed forwards and attacked Xylon using both of my fists and punched his slender back. "This is all your fault, Xylon! You are a beast. I hate you!"

I noticed his eyes were shut, and there was no indication that he was in any way hurt. He acted as if he was experiencing all of the pain and yet it was fine with him. He feigns as if he didn't care even if we both ruin his childhood friend. That what had happened was all part of his wicked plan.

I burst into tears even more. Because I realised, he had no intention of explaining anything to Fiore.

I got down on my knees once more. This time, it was at Xylon's feet.

‘You're a fool, Miranda! You're going to put yourself down in front of your enemy? Are you really that desperate?’

"Miranda, what are you doing?" Xylon's eyes seem shocked at what I did.

"P-Please, Xyle. I beg you. Tell Fiore that it's not my fault. I had no idea... that it was you... that you had taken..." I place my hand over my mouth. I couldn't even say it out loud. I couldn't believe this jerk had taken my virginity instead of Fiore, my fiance!

Tears streamed down my cheeks. They were like never-ending rivers. Like rain without a rainbow. Like the ocean without hope.

"Stand up, Miranda," he commanded firmly.

"Please, X-Xyle, I beg you..."

"Stop it, Miranda."

I was already deafened when Fiore said, "I will never forgive you, no matter what you and Xylon say. You lied to me. You and my best friend. Miranda, you're such a wh*re."

"Fiore!" I heard Xylon chastised him.

Fiore was unaffected by whatever I say to him. I didn't know it was possible he would say such a thing but he exploded those words, "I've made my decision. I'm not going marry you, Miranda."

My heart sank to the ocean's depths. All of my dreams have fallen apart.
