Lahat ng Kabanata ng CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 208

“What are you waiting for? Go on,” she said softly at first, then louder, sharper. “Hit me.” I put my fist down slowly. Her lips curved into a smirk. “Oh look you wouldn't dare.” The Vince bitch was messing with me. I didn’t hit her—not because I couldn’t, but because I’m still trying to understand Zayne. One careless step, and it would become a much bigger problem. She suddenly laughed under her breath and folded her arms. “Are you scared?” she added, tilting her head. “Scared of what happens after? I expected so much from you, what a pity". My jaw tightened. “You think Zayne will protect you?” I asked, finding my voice. “You really believe he’s stupid enough to fall for this little trick of yours?” “Oh, he’s not only stupid,” she said, stepping closer. “He’s just… ruined. He’s emotionally down, and I’m going to use that to tame him and break him". It seems she isn't hiding anything anymore. Her fingers brushed her own lips. “The bastard craves me,” she whispe

Just then, a sharp knock echoed through the room. We both turned toward the door. It couldn’t be Zayne—he wouldn’t knock on his own door. “Come in,” she called before I could even open my mouth. Four servants walked into the room, followed closely by a guard. The moment their eyes landed on me, they dropped into deep bows. “Sir Venom!” The blonde bitch shifted instantly. The sharp-tongued viper vanished, replaced by a delicate, glowing flower. She beamed at them with wide, innocent eyes. “Hi, friends!” she squealed, rushing forward. “It’s so good to see you all again!” *Friends?* I scoffed under my breath. She was really committing to this ridiculous act. To my disbelief, they swarmed her with hugs, their voices overlapping in excited chatter. “We missed you so much!” “You look so pretty with your hair up like that!” “Thanks, Hannah,” she replied, giggling. “You’re absolutely angelic.” “Aww, Stacy,” she cooed, her voice soft and sweet—like she couldn’t hu

“Don’t say that nonsense!” I growled. “You have an entire army. You have a legacy. You have a city! Don’t you dare act weak for her—” I wanted to tell him everything. I had the recording. I had the power to destroy this fantasy and rip her mask off. But the words stuck in my throat. Because no matter how much I hated it… she made him truly happy. “You’re crying,” he said softly. I quickly brushed the tears from my cheeks. “It’s your fault,” I muttered. “You scare me to death every time you talk like you’re already gone. Why can’t you just fight?” He gazed down at me, eyes tired but steady. “Honestly, I’ve been fighting these feelings for so long. Trust me, I tried. Everything I did—keeping her as my little slut pet—was my way of killing every emotion I had for her.” He tapped his chest. “But I can’t fight forever, you know?” I sniffled and looked away, jaw clenched. “Why does it have to be that bitch? What if she’s been pretending this whole time just to trap you?”

"I would like to meet your family someday," I told Stacy.Stacy's eyes widened with a sparkle. "Really?"I nodded.Her face lit up with excitement.Before she could respond, Miren sighed. "I don't think Lord Zayne would be merciful enough to let us visit our families."The atmosphere dimmed slightly as I glanced at the four women. Their smiles had faded."I'll see what I can do."Their eyes widened.The next second, they rushed toward me. I barely had time to react before all four wrapped their arms around me. Their gratitude poured from them in endless thanks."My Lady!""You're too kind!""We don't deserve you!"I laughed. "Girls! You're going to ruin my makeup."They immediately jumped back as panic filled their faces. All four bowed deeply."We apologize, Lady Aria."I groaned dramatically. "Enough with that."They straightened and exchanged glances."I told you guys before. We're friends. You don't have to bow to me," I said softly with a sad expression.Miren smiled gently. "Yes
