บท 39: Facade

Warning! R-18

Adam woke up, his body scorching hot and his throat dry. His sweats all over his face and body, his lower body specifically, throbs in pain.

He adjusted his eyes on the dim room, a shadow of a woman slightly appeared.

Although everything is a blur, he remembers everything that happened, His body shaking from heat, his libido is eating up his rational thinking, his mind is hazy and he is barely keeping up.

He needs water!

"Good morning honey," Ashley said sweetly at Adam, she walks towards the man, holding his chin up, forcing him to look at her face. His breathing became unsteady but he's trying his very hard not to lose control.

"I have a little surprise for you" she laughs, evilly. She turns on the light revealing Celestia in a chair, her mouth covered in duck tape and tons of blood pouring down her wrist!

It's been twenty minutes since Adam and Ashley went upstairs. Celestia's almost done cleaning up the shards of perfume when she noticed a wrapper on the floor.

"Ether...it can't be right?" that's one of the drugs used to knock out and kidnap a person.

She knew that drug since it had been fully explained in one of her subjects. Being the only student, her mentor made her memorize all the drugs and its use, saying that as the first princess of Thusha, she should be knowledgable on kinds of drugs, "It will be helpful in the future" her old teacher emphasized.

She froze...Ashley can't possibly do that right? She felt shivers thinking of what could happen to Adam.

Celestia's heartbeat grew faster as various thoughts entered her mind, she grabs the largest piece of shard she found and went to see what's happening on upstairs. As much as she does not want to think ill of Ashley, she can't help but trust her gut feelings, it's already suspicious enough that Adam did not return after twenty minutes.

She knew him! He will stick to her side all the time, telling her stories, teasing her and adoring her.

Her footsteps were light, careful to make any unnecessary noises, she twists the doorknob but failed, it's locked! She turned around, ready to wake up her friend. Ted, but was stopped when someone pulled her hair.

"Now, where are you going beautiful Eve?!" she said hysterically. The shard fell on the floor, and Celestia has no other choice but to fight Ashley hands on. They are pulling each others hair,

"W-Why are you doing this?! You heartless bitch" she rarely curses but when she does, it means supreme anger, her eyes a bit watery but still the flames burned in it.

She needs to get the shard!

With all her strength, she pushed Ashley who is taller than her by at least ten centimeters. Her scalp burns as she runs toward the large piece of the broken glass, it's pointy end warning Ashley that any wrong move and she, Celestia, will be ready to stab her.

"Why you ask? Because you are too lucky that I loathe your whole existence!" she said, her eyes unsteady and red.

'People like you are the reason why people like me are treated like trash!'

Celestia's hand is trembling, she mustered up enough will power to move on, slowly withholding the shard tightly.

"It's not my fault that you are pathetic!" she spits every word with anger, her brows furrowed as she looks attentively at the girl, shifting her eyes on the room from time to time, 'Where are you, Adam?'

"Not your fault? Then how come Adam doesn't even look at me?!" she gritted her teeth in rage.

'This girl is lunatic!' Celestia thought, scared.

How come the woman is blind to the fact that Adam already has a partner? And for Ashley's information, love doesn't happen in one night! Fucking retard.

When the chance came in, Celestia went inside the room, almost locking the door but failed when a leg came in between, she's been pushed by Ashley hard!

They rolled for a while. holding each other's head, the shard is now on both their hands, Ashley having the upper hand and pushing it through Celestia's arm.

"One more move and Adam will die" her voice has no sign of joking, she's damn serious!

Celestia felt her knees wobble and her body weak as those words went out Ashley's mouth. She stopped resisting, the shard digging its way on her hands, blood began to drip, one, two, three...and to an uncountable amount.

Her wrist stings as the blood continually drop.

"Argh," she wailed, her eyes piercing Ted's younger sister as hot tears flowed up from her emerald eyes.

The latter just smirked, "The worst is yet to come, are you giving up now Eve?"

She grabs Celestia's head, forcing her to stand up, "Now, don't defy me anymore dear, I may have put something on Adam, he will not wake up any sooner if you continue resisting me"

This cunning woman!

Celestia thought that her stepmother is cruel enough but looking at Ashley now, she couldn't

fathom that a person can be this mad!

---

Celestia kept making sounds even her lip is tightly sealed, the woman really did something to Adam! Only when she puts a liquid kind of medicine did Adam woke up.

Both of them are tied on the chair.

She noticed that her beloved is acting strange, his huffing at a rapid speed, his breath rugged.

His sparkling dark eyes are now hazy, clouded and strange.

The realization hits her, he's been drugged!

Her muffled sound grew stronger, tears are now falling on her face, she tries hard to get free, shaking her chair with all her strength, causing her to fall.

She's desperate to get out!

A loud thud rang the room, her hair scattered on the floor as she landed with the chair.

Her heartbeat is unstable from fear, anger, and nervousness. The wicked woman walks toward Celestia with a triumphant grin.

"They say I'm dumb, but if I'm really a fool, how can I have devised this brilliant plan in such a short time?" she laughs in a vicious way.

"A tragic story it is, you will see how Adam and I will become one, with your own eyes and live" she smirks as she removes her red robe.
