Chapter 35


    Chapter 35


    -AMIERA


    The following day Adam meets me at the school’s entrance, and surprising me, he picks


    me up in his arms and gives me a long, sweet kiss that leaves me dizzy when he finally puts


    me down.


    “You’re ready to go to ss?” he asks, his hands lingering on my waist.


    I nod my head.


    I’m nervous about it, but I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my life. I want us to be open; I


    want people to know. I don’t want to go through what I went through with him and Lizzie in the past. This


    could be avoided if people knew where we stood.


    He takes my hand in his, and the moment we enter the corridor, all eyes are on us. We don’t have to say


    anything; the fact that we’re holding hands alone should show them that we aren’t just friends. As if to


    emphasize our rtionship, Adam leans down and kisses my head.


    I can already see the envy in many eyes as we walk past them; people are not happy to see Adam and


    me together. Of course, all of the women who fantasize about him will have more reasons to hate me


    from now on.


    When we enter the ssroom, everyone begins to silence each other and point towards us. Bryan walks


    up to me and grabs my arm, “what the f**k is this, Amiera?”


    Adam grabs him by his neck and shoves him up against the wall, “don’t you ever f*****g touch my


    woman again.”


    Lizzie walks in at the same time and sees this, she doesn’t hide her anger from either one of us, and I


    can sense that Adam is tensed now that she’s entered the room. Why did her presence bother him so


    much? He lets go of Bryan and takes my hand in his to guide us to our new seats. Abigail is gaping at


    me, and I know that there is plenty we have to talk about.


    Now that our ss knew about our rtionship, it was time to break the news to my family.


    I was terrified of telling them the truth, but I needed to get it out of the way. I knew now


    that I wanted to build my life with Adam. The only way for that to happen was to have my family’s


    blessings. I know that they would hate the idea of us together at first, but when they realized that the


    prophecy was a lie, that Adam wasn’t a monster, they would allow us to be together; I’m sure that they


    may even be happy for us.


    The day goes by quickly, and everyone looks and treats me so differently now that I’m with Adam. No


    one says anything to disrespect me, and everyone keeps their distance whenever


    It’s time for me to break the news to my brother and sister. Adam left me here so that they


    wouldn’t see us together, I didn’t want them to see us until I told them the truth.


    Thear footsteps and think that it must be them. However, when I turn around, I don’t see my siblings; the


    first person that I see is Lizzie.


    “What do you want?” I ask Lizzie. “If this is about Adam and me announcing our rtionship…”


    Sheughs, an evil one, “you’re so f*****g delusional, aren’t you?” I fold my arms, “excuse me?”


    “There is so much that you don’t know about Adam, so much that you’ll be shocked to hear what I have


    to say today.”


    “I don’t need to listen to any of your lies.”


    “Believe me,” she says. “If you don’t listen to what I have to tell you today, you’ll regret it for the rest of


    your life. I’m doing you a favor by telling you the truth.”

    “Yeah?” I ask sarcastically. “And what’s this truth that you speak off?”


    The grin on her face tells me that it’s isn’t any good. She’s looking at me like I’m stupid for ever believing


    him in the first ce. What could she possibly have to say to make me regret my decision to be with


    Adam?


    “Adam has been lying to you all along. This entire charade that he’s doing with you, it’s all so that he can


    get you to trust him. The truth is that Adam is precisely the kind of person that everyone has warned you


    about. Your parents were right to tell you to stay away from him; even your cheating ex-boyfriend was


    looking out for you when he told you to stay away from Adam. He’s been reporting everything to me


    since the beginning. Did he get you to touch a candle when he invited you over to movie night? That


    candle has been in his family for generations; it can tell who the ming whisperer is when she touches


    it, her body feels like it’s on fire. It’s how he knew that you were the ming whisperer, it’s how he knew


    to call you out for the fire fairy festival. He didn’t believe in you like he wanted everyone to think; he knew


    beforehand. All of this, it was only his trap that you fell oh so perfectly into. You falling in love with him


    was only the icing on the cake; he knew that he was getting closer to getting you on


    his side,”


    “Why would he do something like that?” I demand. “Why go through so much trouble just


    for me to trust him?”


    reporting your progress to me; I know everything about you. He’s told me it all. Why do you think? I’m the


    woman he loves, not you. He’s doing all of this so that we can both rule the world. It isn’t a lie; the


    prophecy is true. Adam does want to be the most powerful being alive, and he can only achieve


    such power with your help. Have you noticed anything strange


    with him ever since you started being by his side? Have you noticed his power growing stronger? That’s


    all you’re doing. You’re not the only one gaining strength while being around him; he is also. He isn’t


    doing this for you, he’s doing this for himself, and that’s the whole


    truth.”


    -“Why should I believe you?” I ask. “You’ve never liked me. If you’re both in love and he wants to rule the


    world with you, why would you turn against him to spill the truth to me?” |


    demand.


    “You don’t have to believe me,” she snaps. “I have nothing to lose by warning you. If you don’t believe


    me, ask him for yourself. I love Adam, and I hate to see him with another woman, especially you. That is


    the truth. But I’m not trying to tell you a lie; he is doing all of this to get you on his side, for you to trust


    him. Like I said, ask him for yourself.”


    I don’t wait for her to say anything else; I run off into the direction I saw Adam leaving in


    earlier. I need to catch him; I need him to tell me that all of this is a lie. My feelings, he couldn’t


    have been ying with them. I don’t know what would happen to me if I knew that this was all


    true. I don’t know how I will handle it.


    Istop running when I spot him inside his jeep. He sees me simultaneously, and I can tell that he already


    knows something is up. He jumps down from the vehicle andes to me.


    “What’s wrong?” He asks, rmed. “Why are you crying? Did your brother tell you something about us?


    What’s it? Tell me.”


    “Is it true?” I demand. “Is everything Lizzie told me about you true?”


    The look of guilt that crosses his face makes my heart sink to the bottom.


    No. No. No.


    It can’t be true. It can’t!


    “Amiera—,”


    “I just want to know the truth, Adam!” I shout. “I don’t want to hear any excuses. Just tell me if it’s true!


    Were you using me to gain power? Did you know I was the ming whisperer from the start? Inviting me


    to your home for movie night was that just your chance of finding out if I was the ming whisperer? Is it


    true that you’re only trying to gain my trust so that I can


    He looks away from my piercing gaze and turns around to kick the tires of his jeep. He then turns back to


    me with a look of remorse on his face, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”


    The tears are flowing more now, and I don’t know how to control them. I’m breaking down; all of my walls


    are falling apart. I’m finding it hard to breathe, and my feelings are choking the


    life out of me.


    Igrab his shirt and gaze into his cold eyes, “how could you do this to me?”


    “I loved you!” I scream while hitting his chest over and over again. “You let me fall in love with you even


    after knowing you were going to betray me in the end. How could you, Adam, how could you betray me


    like this? I believed you every step of the way. I trusted you even when others begged me not to. I took


    the risk to be around you when my parents would have killed me for even looking your way. I did all of


    these things because I loved you; how can you be so evil? How can you do this to me? I wanted to


    believe that you were nothing like what others said you were. I wanted to believe that you were good.


    How could I have been so blind? Why did I ever trust someone like you?”


    He grabs my wrists in my hand, “I’m a monster. Yes, I’am-a monster who never deserved you from the


    start. I’m d that you know that now. You can leave and never look back; this is your chance. You and I


    can never have anything. We are too different; you’re pure and good, a shining light; I’m everything else.


    Dark, evil, drowning in my pit of lies. This was bound to happen. I’m d Lizzie told you the truth; I could


    have never been the good man you wanted me to be. I let things get too far; I also got caught up in


    something that never existed. I’m not sorry for all the memories we made together; leave now, Amiera.


    You know the entire truth now, the world will always put us against each other, I knew that would happen


    eventually, and it’s finally begun today. LEAVE!”


    “I hate you,” I whisper. “I hate you so much. I’ll never let you get what you want. You’ll never rule the


    world as long as I’m alive. I’ll put a stop to your ns. You’ll be sorry for treating me the way you did, for


    breaking my heart. This is my promise to you, Adam Ashford. You’ll have to kill me to get where you want


    to be, and even then, I’ll still haunt you for the rest of your life. You’ll never find a woman to love you the


    way that I did. No one will ever be as pure as I was in this rtionship. I would have done anything for


    you. ANYTHING!” I shout. “From today onwards, you and I are enemies.”


    I don’t wait for him to say anything else as I turn and walk away from him.


    Even though my heart is breaking and my mind feels betrayed, I keep on walking. I have to


    that I love never existed. This isn’t just about me anymore; this is about protecting the entire world from


    the evil inside Adam.


    I couldn’t let him get what he wanted. I couldn’t.
