Chapter 8

• EVA
• "Mr John, please let me take the test" I plead with Mr John.
• Because of that beast I arrived late and I missed the test by just two minutes. I wonder why Mr John would choose today of all days to hold a test.
• "No, Eva. I don't hold my test twice, you had a chance and you missed it" Mr John's tone held finality.
• But me, Eva Samuel is not a quitter. I'm gonna pest him until he agrees to give me a make up test.
• "Mr John...."
• "Eva!" He called me in a scolding tone. "There's no way I can help you even if I wanted to. The school has rules and I can't bend the rules just because you arrived late, I'm sorry Eva but you've failed this test. Try to make it next time!!"
• He packs up his things and leaves the class room. I sigh pitifully and kicked the desk in front of me very hard.
• "Ouch!!" I cry out in pain and hold my leg.
• "All this is happening because of that beast!" I clenched my fist getting ready to punch the wall, but someone holds my hands.
• "Tigress, no matter what happens, don't hurt yourself"
• I turned around and see Sean and Aubrey. I slumps onto a chair and being to pout.
• "What's up, miss pouty" Aubrey asked.
• She sits next to me, while Sean sits in front of us, on top the desk.
• "Let me take a guess, you miss Mr John's test" Sean said without thinking.
• I nod absentmindedly.
• "Well, that's nature punishing you for leaving without any word" Aubrey said as she casts me an accusing glare.
• Mr John is so cruel, couldn't he just let me take the test again?.
• Beast Fredrick, he better pray I don't meet him in the house or I swear I'll cut his balls into tiny pieces and fed them to dogs.
• "Eva!!" Aubrey's voice wakes me up from my evil plotting.
• "Why are you narrowing your eyes like that?" Sean asked and shuddered "You look like snow white's evil mother" he added.
• I scorned at him.
• "Thanks very much, Sean" I told him and in an overly sweet voice, I lean towards him and pulled his cheeks.
• "Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts" he winced.
• "That's what I intended" I told him.
• "Ok, that's enough ladies" Aubrey said and remove my hand from his cheeks.
• She turned to me.
• "So, Eva. Where were you all night?"
• I sighed and lean on the chair, playing with a strand of my hair.
• "I-I..I...moved in with Fred yesterday..."
• "What?!!" Sean and Aubrey exclaimed.
• "You moved in with Fred?!!" Aubrey shriek in a very high tone.
• I slap my hand on her mouth and look around. Some people are looking at our direction, trying to listen to us.
• I give them a nervous smile and wave them off...
• "Carry on with your stuffs y'all. There's nothing juicy to hear here" I said.
• Luckily, they all moved their attention away from our table. I faced Aubrey with a harsh glare, she simply blinked innocently and wear a cute smile.
• "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was that loud" she said.
• I just shake my head.
• "Whatever, anyway, our parents decided that before we get married, it'll be good if we get to know each other for while. So they suggested I move in with him" I explained.
• They nod in understanding.
• As for me I think this getting to know each other is bullshit, spending one night with him, I've already know him.
• He is a BEAST! He is a MANWHORE!!
• But you love him, Eva. A small voice said in my head.
• Love is foolish!!
• Or maybe I'm the foolish one, for falling in love with his handsome face.
• "Evaaaaa!" Aubrey and Sean called my name in sing song.
• "Why are you always spacing out on us today?" Aubrey asked.
• Sean taps Aubrey and winks at her, then turned to me wiggling his eyes.
• "I bet last night was too magical and she couldn't get it out of her head" Sean said.
• "Yeah, look she's got dark circles" Aubrey added.
• I scoffed.
• "I wish it was magical. This dark circles are caused from my lack of sleep"
• "Ohoo! Don't tell me you guys did it all night" Sean said with dreamy eyes.
• If only they knew. They continue teasing me, while I try my possible best to ignore them.
• Fred
• I smiled victoriously at my perfect work, I place the list of to-do chores on top of ugly's bed.
• She thinks she can just waltz into my penthouse and do as she pleases, Ah! She must be mistaken.
• She'll so regret giving me that spicy noodles this morning.
• I walked out of her room and closed the door behind me.
• I changed and head to school. Thankfully this is my last year in this school, honestly, I hate waking up knowing that I'm gonna go to school.
• Eva
• Time flies by quickly, today wasn't exciting at all. I guess it's because Beast spoiled my mood earlier in the morning.
• Finally it's time to go home, I flung my backpack on my shoulder. I head out to go look for Aubrey, we don't have this last class together. And though we don't live in the same house no more, I still have to let her know when I'm leaving the school premises.
• I was so lost in my thoughts and wasn't aware of my surroundings. Then I bumped into a hard wall, I close my eyes mentally getting myself ready for the pain, but just when I'm about to fall arms wrapped around me.
• "Oh, thank you" I said thankfully.
• I still haven't open my eyes. Then I inhale deeply, this cologne is kinda familiar. It smells like the cologne beast Fredrick wears.
• I open my eyes and see.... Fred?? He's staring at me with an evil glint in his eyes. I titted my head in confusion, why is he looking at me like that? What is he planning?
• Oh, wait.... He's gonna... Oh please! Don't let go of me or I'll fall face flat.
• But that beast did the opposite of what I wished for. He removed his arms and I fell like a heavy log of wood.
• "Oops sorry, my hands slipped" he said with no hint of remorse in his voice.
• I quickly stand and dust off my clothes.
• "Beast!!" I yelled in his face.
• He stopped smirking at once, and his expression changes to anger.
• "What did you just call me?" He roared.
• I involuntarily take a step back.
• "I.. I... Peace?" I said, more like asked.
• He takes in a deep breath as if to calm himself down.
• "Better. Now listen, when you get home, pick out an outfit for me"
• "Why would I do that?" I asked.
• "Because my sweet ugly, I'm going out with one of my girlfriends tonight or do you prefer I bring her home, and you can hear the soundtrack of live porn?" He asked.
• I feel my cheeks warming up as he mentioned porn. How can he just say it as if he's talking about the weather.
• "But I'm not your maid or nanny. So I won't" I told him.
• His smirk grows wide.
• "Yeah, you're not my maid. You're my fiancée, so it's your duty right?" He said tapping my shoulder.
• I shrugged his hand off my shoulder and scoffed.
• "Alright, I need to go somewhere now"
• "Huh?"
• "I know you're dumb, stop making it obvious" without another word he walks away.
• I take in deep and heavy breaths. He's really a BEAST.
• I decided not to meet with Aubrey no more, I just head straight home.
• ******
• I enter the penthouse and flipped the lights on. I head straight to my room.
• It's only 2:34pm, I might as well get some sleep before I start with Fred's stupid chores list.
• I enter my room, put my backpack in a corner and walk towards my bed. I see a small piece of paper on my bed, I picked it up and check it.
• It's a to-do list.
• 1: pick out an outfit for Mr Fredrick Russell.
• 2: prepare steaks and cornbread.
• 3: iron Mr Russell's suit against tomorrow.
• 4: wash Mr Russell's bathroom (sparkling white).
• Humph! What does he takes me for, his PA?
• I squeeze the paper and tossed it across the room. I remove my shoe and fall on my bed.
• "Ahhhhhhh!!!" I screamed in pain.
• I quickly bounce up from the bed and raised my sheets. Then I see three..... NEEDLES!!!
• It's official. Frederick Russell is a BEAST! A big ugly beast! A monster!
• All I did was give him a spicy noodle, must you go extreme with his revenge?.
• He must be inhumane.
• Well, since he wants to play dirty, then we'll play dirty together. He wants me to pick out his outfit right, then that is what I must do. As a good and obedient fiancée.
• I dash into his bedroom, I throw his closet open. Every cloth in the closet is black, I guess black is his favorite color. I picked out a black boyfriend jeans and lay it on his bed, then I take out one of his boxers.
• Just then an idea crosses my mind. I take the boxer to the kitchen and sprinkles chilli powder on it. Fortunately for me, the boxer is black too, and he won't notice the chilli powder on it.
• I take it back to his room and put it on his bed. I dust my hands and laugh wickedly. He'll regret messing with me.
• How dare he put needles on my bed to prick my skin.
• *******
• It's 7:10pm already and Fred still isn't home yet. I sit in the living room waiting for him to come back, I wanna see his expression when he wears the boxer and the chilli powder takes action.
• Just then the door open and Fred briskly walks in. I stand up and rush to him.
• "Darling, you're back. Welcome home" I said with a very wide smile.
• He looks at me strangely, as if trying to figure out why I'm being happy.
• Well, my dear beast you can never tell.
• "Ugly, tell me you don't have any scheme" he said.
• "Scheme? I don't know what you are talking about" I said making an innocent face.
• He shakes his head and walk towards the stairs.
• "I'll be out all night, don't wait up for me" he said and disappears from my sight.
• I sit back on the sofa and starts to flip through channels, I'm not looking for a movie. I just looking for anything that will keep me here and see his reaction.
• After minutes of waiting, I finally hear his footsteps approaching. I pretend to be focused on the TV. He head towards the door, open it and step out.
• I bet he'll come running back with red eyes. Just count down with me,
• 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....
• The door flung open and Fred rushed inside.
• "Ugly what the fuck did you do!!" He asked in an agonizing tone.
• I stand up and feign innocence.
• "What are you talking about?" I asked.
• He doesn't answer me. He simply remove his belt and I didn't expect what he did next.
• He pulled down his trousers and boxer.
• "Noooooo!!" I screamed.
• T. B. C.
