lissa’s POV
I was drowning in exam pressure, barely getting any sleep, and honestly, I didn’t have ti for anyone’s bullshit. But lately... sothing felt off.
I’d been getting these bad premonitions these days — like sothing bad was coming.
I couldn’t put my finger on where things were going wrong.
What made it worse was Brother Asher.
The one who always spoiled rotten and treated like I was the center of his damn universe.
He stopped talking to just like that after Jim’s incident.
At first, I thought maybe he had gotten sothing against , and I was in trouble. Or mad about sothing small.
But then I rembered — he ca to again and told that he was just under the weather these days and had lost his temper.
And then he just... left.
He didn’t say anything, he didn’t even smile at , and walked away.
Since then, he’s been ignoring , no texts and no calls. Not even a glance when we cross paths at ho.
I had my doubts. Of course, I did.
But I told myself — it’s fine. Once I ace my exams and show him the results, he’ll be proud again. He’ll shower with gifts, take shopping, and call his perfect little sister.
That’s how it’s always been.
And I’m sure... that’s how it’ll be again.
Right?
I was still thinking about everything, how my Big Brother hadn’t spoken to properly for days, how things weren’t feeling the sa anymore, when my phone suddenly rang.
I didn’t feel like talking to anyone at the mont when my mind was full of deep thoughts. But when I saw the na on the screen flashing, the na Lia and I stopped.
My fingers moved before I could even think, and I picked up the call.
If she were calling , she must have sothing interesting and juicy to say.
Because Lia wasn’t the kind to call without a reason. She only called when she needed sothing or it was related to Seraphina.
Yes, Sera might have slipped away from Jim and his dirty group of n. She might have gotten lucky, but girls like Lia... they didn’t back down easily. Not when they had found a target who was below them and easy to trample, who had no background with no one to look after them.
Lia wasn’t soone who hurt people out of fear or need...She did it because it gave her pleasure. She enjoyed watching people struggle, especially those who couldn’t fight back.
And if she was calling , it only ant one thing—she had seen sothing to tell that I would enjoy knowing and could use for my own use in the future.
I leaned back on the chair, still staring at the screen for a second before pressing the phone to my ear.
"Let’s see what ss she got herself into now," I muttered to myself as I answered the call.
The phone hadn’t even rung twice before I picked it up. Lia didn’t waste a breath.
"lissa! You will not believe what just happened at the mall!" Lia said all that in a single breath.
I rolled my eyes and leaned back. "What now? Did soone finally kick you out or knock so sense into you?"
"Can you cut it and hear out?" she spat. "It’s about her. That crazy, mute, and autistic freak... Seraphina."
My hand froze mid-air.
I knew it! I knew that it was about her! Seraphina!
"She caused a damn scene," Lia barked as she was full of anger. "I thought she would shrink and shiver in fear, but then she brought soone with her. And not just a normal person, but he seed dangerous and untouchable. Every manager in that place nearly pissed themselves taking just one look at him."
My brows twitched.
"She called him and when He ca... He treated that bitch as a Queen, treated as if only she was present there and we were invincible!" Lia’s voice cracked from disbelief. "He didn’t speak much, but the mont I opened my mouth and said a few words against him... She slapped in front of everyone, right across the face like I was nothing!"
She paused for a bit or probably waiting for to say sothing, but I didn’t.
I was just thinking how she could have had such guts and who was that mysterious man?
"Then... Sothing her brothers ca up! I didn’t know she had one." Lia sneered. "And then... your Brother Asher showed up."
My heart sank.
"Yeah, now you are shocked!? He walked in, saw her, and acted like she was so treasure he had lost. He took her hand, defended her, and when she almost fainted, he carried her out like she was so fucking princess."
Lia scoffed. "And the crowd? They just watched. Who would have such guts to talk against the Third Young Master of the Lancaster family? Everyone around her acted like she was sothing they had to protect."
I tightened my grip on the phone.
"Let warn you, Lis," Lia said and scoffed. "Things are slipping from your hands. I don’t know where her brothers ca from or who that person was.
She’s turning everything upside down," she whispered. "If even Asher is falling for her drama... You might lose everything."
The line went dead. Lia ca, barked, and left agitated.
And I just sat there, completely frozen.
Seraphina had slapped Lia!? Where did those guts co from?
And Asher went to find her? Took her where?
"Don’t tell ... He took her to the Lancaster Mansion!" I instantly rose to my feet, forgetting everything.
I ran out of my dorm room, but it was already over ten at night.
I couldn’t leave.
"Fuck!"
Did he really bring that slut back ho when I wasn’t there?
My blood boiled, I didn’t care about anything, and called my mother to send the car first thing in the morning.
I got to see what was happing there.
