Ch. 86..90: Forbidden Heat R18 Chapter 86-90

Chapter 86: Trapped

Instead of taking me to the public rest area, Reiner led me to the hotel adjoined to the event venue. He held my hand and supported my back and I leaned against him panting hard. My legs started to go weak, and I could hardly support my own weight. Reiner held me up with his strong arms in the elevator. When the elevator door opened, Reiner lifted me up in his muscular arms since it was clear that I could no longer stand or walk.

I panted and squirmed a little in his arms as the vibrator pulsated against my pussy walls sending jolts of pleasure through my body. I buried my hot face into his chest and started to moan loudly when we entered the hotel room and no one else was around. I’ve been bearing it for too long, my body was at its limit already.

Reiner softly laid me on the bed. The moment I felt the softness of the bed on my back, my body convulsed and jerked. I moaned loudly and my hips jutted upwards when my climax hit me. I curled my body into a ball as I rode out my climax. Ah...I just came in front of Reiner. Reiner watched me silently without saying anything.

“Open your legs...wide,” Reiner commanded in an authoritative voice. His face betrayed no emotions, but I think that he is furious right now.

“R...I...” I started to protest. I didn’t want him to see or find out anything.

“You’ve been acting weird since you stepped out of the limo. What did Zak do to you? Actually, no need to answer that. Just open your legs,” Reiner said as his hands firmly parted my legs.

This is so embarrassing. I turned my head to the side and covered my face with both of my hands. I could feel Reiner’s fingers on my sensitive area and then his fingers thrusted inside of my throbbing pussy. His fingers explored my insides a little before finding the vibrator that Zak had inserted. I heard him sigh as he removed the vibrator out of my hole. I felt relief now that it was gone, but my source of anxiety was quickly replaced. How do I explain this to Reiner...?

“Now that I know that you had a vibrator inside of you all this time, how you reacted is not surprising. Are you going to explain this? Or should I just punish you instead?” Reiner asked with his face very close to mine.

“I...” I said as I sat up on the bed, but I couldn’t continue. I wasn’t sure what I should do.

“Zak did this to you, didn’t he? That’s a rhetorical question. I know he did this. The real question is why, and the most important question is why did you let him do something like this to you?!” Reiner ended up screaming at me. His calm all gone, he just yelled in my face.

“Zak didn’t...” I began to speak in a shaky voice. I realize that I’m closed to tears.

“Don’t lie to me. Don’t you dare start lying to me. Why did you let him do this?!” Reiner yelled.

My eyes blurred and I felt wetness on my cheeks as my tears rolled down my face. This is the worst. Reiner just found out about my relationship with Zak. He must be disgusted with me. What will become of my relationship with Zak now? I need to find a way to protect Zak. The Elders and Madame Francesca must not find out about this. What do I do now? I need to stop Reiner.

“Just punish me. Do whatever you want to me. I wont resist. Just please don’t tell anyone about this...” I said quietly with my head down. Zak had always protected me; this time, I will be the one to protect him.

“He’s your cousin, Natalia. You should know that you shouldn’t be in this type of relationship with him. You’re still defending him even now?” Reiner asked in frustration. His hand cupped my chin forcing my face up so that our eyes met.

“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained. So just do whatever you want to do. Just leave Zak out of this,” I pleaded through gritted teeth as I stared into his now stormy blue eyes. I’ll do whatever I need to do to win Reiner over. I’ll give him my body, I’ll give him anything...

“I see...if that’s how you want it then...” Reiner said before pushing my body down onto the bed, pinning me underneath his large body.

He kissed me aggressively, his hot tongue thrusting wildly inside my wet mouth. He sucked my tongue as his hand roughly squeezed my breasts. I moaned into his wild kiss as his hands pumped my breasts through my dress. He’s treating me so roughly. Reiner has never treated me like this before. I started to feel a slight pain in my breasts as his large hands continued to rub and twist them.

Reiner removed his tongue from my mouth so that he could concentrate on other parts of my body. He roughly tore at the skirt of my dress, ripping the fabric at the slit in my dress to expose my stomach and slower body to his ravenous sight. He’s so intense and so wild right now, it’s starting to scare me. He just ripped my dress apart with ease.

He bent my legs upwards and spread them with his hands. I felt his hot breath in between my legs when he buried his face there. Then I cried out his name when I felt his tongue tracing my wet opening. My pussy was still sensitive from cumming earlier and from the effect of the vibrator. His tongue was further stimulating my already swollen clit, making me whimper with pleasure. His large hands cupped my buttocks to lift my hips upwards towards his face and awaiting mouth.

He drank me. His hot mouth slurping up my juices as his tongue sapped up my wetness. I felt a rush of hot wetness between my legs as my body spewed even more honey into my love hole. Reiner made lewd slurping sounds in between my legs as he continued to suck and lick me everywhere. I grabbed onto the bed sheets when he slipped his hot and long tongue into my pussy hole.

I thrusted my hips against his tongue, wrapping my pussy walls around him. His tongue feels amazing as it slid against my pussy walls. He teased my hole roughly as he pumped his tongue in and then out of my wetness. I was panting hard now and moaning loudly, my hands clenched his red hair as I watched his head bob up and down while he continued to fuck me with his tongue.

“R...it’s so good. Please don’t stop...” I cried out between my moans. I begged for him, I wanted him to make me cum so badly. I was starting to enjoy my punishment so much.

Reiner removed his tongue and his face from between my legs. His mouth and face were wet and covered with my juices. It was such an erotic sight, I thought, as I watched Reiner lick his lips.

“You’re so wet. Perhaps my cock would fit inside you if I entered you now...” Reiner whispered seductively.

Chapter 87: Discipline

“Ahh! Ahh!...Ahh!” I moaned loudly as Reiner continued to ravage my body. His hands sought out my sensitive places. I didn’t know he knew my body this well. He ripped the front of my dress and my breasts bounced out to greet his hungry hands. They massaged my naked breasts as I whimpered softly while calling his name softly. He pinched and teased my erect nipples with his fingers before taking one into his hot mouth. It felt incredible as he rolled my nipple around with his tongue inside his mouth. He sucked them hard, and I ran my hands through his red hair. He moved on to suck my other nipple as his hand kneaded my other breast harder. I swear I could cum just from Reiner teasing my tits.

“You seem to be enjoying your punishment. Am I being too nice?” Reiner whispered in a seductive voice before thrusting his hot tongue inside my mouth. He moaned my name as we kissed fervently. His hands slowly slid down from my breasts to the plain of my abdomen and then to my waist. I melted into this kiss. Reiner’s kisses were fantastic. He can seduce me just through a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his broad back as he kissed me and fondled my body.

I whimpered in protest when he stopped kissing me suddenly. However, the next moment, I felt my legs being spread apart as Reiner sat in between my legs. He wrapped my legs around his waist and my hips were lifted slightly off the bed. His long and thick middle finger plunged into my hot opening while his other hand stroked my clit slowly in a circular motion. These two simultaneous stimulations made me feel hot with lust. His finger reached in so deep inside of my hole and it made me think of the pleasure he gave me when we had sex before, in the car. My body shuddered in anticipation of the bliss to come.

“...it feels amazing...R...please touch me more...” I begged him shamelessly. I wanted more of him.

Reiner started moving his middle finger in and out of my hole in response. He finger glided smoothly in and then completely out and then in again as he fucked my hot pussy with his finger. I clenched my wall around his finger, enjoying the sensation of my walls being rubbed. Even his one finger could make me feel this good. He pinched my clit between his fingers, and I yelped a little at the small pain that accompanied the rush of pleasure in between my legs.

“Let’s see how many of my fingers you can take in today...” Reiner said as he thrusted his ring finger inside of me to supplement his middle finger. I wrapped my legs around his waist tighter as I thrusted my hips up even further to meet his fingers. I screamed wildly when Reiner started thrusting his two thick and long fingers inside of my pussy, fast and hard and then even faster. His fingers are in so deep, they were stretching my pussy and I felt like I was already being fucked by a decent-sized cock. It’s in so deep and it feels so satisfying. Reiner’s beautiful blue eyes stared at my pussy as his fingers slammed in and out of its hole.

I could hear the lewd sounds of his fingers and hand slapping against my pussy and stirring up my wet insides. Those sounds combined with my passionate screams and moans filled the entire hotel room. His fingers reached the sensitive spot deep inside of my pussy hole and it was bringing me closer to the edge. I wanted to lose myself in this heat he created.

“Your pussy is clenching around my fingers and twitching so much. Let’s try another finger, shall we?” Reiner asked as he looked deep into my eyes. I panted as I stared back at him silently. I wanted more...

Reiner removed his fingers from my pussy before adding his index finger to his crew. He screwed in those three thick fingers back into my cunt and I felt my opening being stretched to accommodate his entrance. It stung a little at my opening as my hole was forced to widen by his intruding fingers. His three fingers filled me up inside, stretching my pussy walls as they pushed against it. I don’t think I can take anymore, my pussy felt stretched to the maximum and I felt a funny feeling deep inside of my stomach.

“R...it’s so full...inside...” I whimpered in a choked-up voice. Overwhelmed by the fulfilling sensation that he just gave me. He hasn’t even started moving his fingers yet and I was already close to my climax.

“If three fingers are all that you can take in, I’ll tear you apart when I enter you with my cock,” Reiner stated plainly. I had to agree. I’ve seen his cock and...I think I’ll have to shed some blood for him to fit inside of me.

Reiner started shoving his fingers deep inside of my hole sometimes curling up one of them to stimulate the g-spot on the top wall of my pussy. It felt like I’m really being well-loved by a well-endowed man. Reiner’s strong arms applied enough force to ram his fingers inside of me, bordering on rough but not yet too painful. My pussy walls felt like they were melting to mush from his attack and my legs were tensing. My peak is approaching...

“Cum, Natalia. I’ll make you cum so much you won’t have the energy to sleep around anymore,” Reiner said as he pumped his fingers deeper and faster. He knew I was going to cum. I can’t hold it in anymore. I let my release take over me as I arched my back and thrusted my hips upwards, my legs wrapped tighter around his waist. My whole body spasmed as I squirted out my release. Then I went completely still to catch my breath.

I heard the sounds of Reiner unbuckling his belt and unzipping his pants. Is he going to fuck me with his huge cock now? Can my body take him on in this stage? I felt so tired, I can no longer move...

I felt his large hands bending my legs upwards and spreading them so that my pussy was faced upwards a little. His fingers traced my sensitive opening a little before I felt something so hot and hard press against my soppy opening. I opened my eyes and supported my upper body to sit up a little so that I can see my pussy. The sight I saw made me gasp with slight shock. Reiner’s thick and long cock was in between my legs and pointing towards my pussy. The hot sensation I felt at my hole was the head of his gigantic cock rubbing against my opening.

There’s no way he’s going to fit. I breathed in deeply as I tried to relax my pussy to lessen the pain when he penetrated me. Reiner took his shaft in his large hands as he used its head to stroke my opening. I moaned with desire as I imagined being pierced by that colossal potent pole.

Chapter 88: Lover or Toy?

“Don’t worry. It’s your punishment today so I won’t use my cock. That would be too fulfilling for you, right? When I do take you, I’ll make sure that you will be begging to be mine...” Reiner stated with dead certainty in his voice.

He pressed my thighs closed together. Then Reiner thrusted his large cock in between my thighs. It felt so hot and so hard against the soft flesh of my inner thigh. I moaned intensely as I felt the whole of his hot length sliding against the entire of my wet pussy slit. Although, he did not penetrate me, it felt so intoxicating. His cock was burning hot and it felt like he was scorching my slit and my swollen clit as he rubbed his cock along my pussy as he fucked my closed thigh.

“Just rubbing my cock against your wet slit feels this amazing; I wonder how it would feel to bury myself deep inside you...” Reiner panted with desire as he began moving his hips faster against my thighs.

Reiner was groaning wildly now as he pumped his dick against my pussy. I felt him sliding fast and hard against my slit and hitting my clit with every stroke. My juices coated his length as he continued thrusting. His cock got hotter and thicker. He was so big already, how can he possibly get even bigger! He’s so big and so strong, my body couldn’t take the force of his thrusts, so he had to use his hand to support my body to keep me still. I can’t believe I felt like cumming again. Reiner’s erotic face as he pumped his cock against me is turning me on so much. He looked like a wild animal in heat and his size only added to his appeal. I could smell his strong manly scent now that he was sweating with exertion. His sweat dripping down on my naked body. He continued to fuck my thighs non-stop with his rock-hard erection.

“Reiner...I...cum...” I was panting so hard I couldn’t even tell him properly that I was cumming again. However, I think he will also cum very soon too.

“You came already? Now it’s my turn,” Reiner said as he pounded his hips against me with loud slapping sounds before his hot load exploded from his massive cock onto my naked stomach. His seed felt so hot, even hotter than his cock. There was so much of it, and it was ejected everywhere. Most landed on my naked stomach while some landed on my breast, my chest and on the bed sheets. Reiner threw his head back as he cried out my name in his orgasm. It was a very pleasing sight to behold. My body is all sticky from our sweat and his cum. I need to shower...I need to wash his cum from my body, I thought as I slowly fell asleep.

...

**Knock Knock Knock**

“It’s me.”

Reiner heard the sound of three distinct knocks on the door. Reiner narrowed his eyes at the door. He was fully dressed now but Natalia was still sleeping naked under the covers. She was breathing steadily, so she must be in a deep sleep. Reiner headed towards the door.

Judging from the voice from the other side of the door, it must be Zak. Why is he here? What does he want? If I were him, I would have headed home to avoid facing Natalia’s bodyguard in this problematic situation. Anyways, I’ll find out when I open the door.

Reiner opened the door and Zak was standing there in all his glory. Zak was so handsome that many movie stars and models pale in comparison.

“Master Zak. Miss Natalia is sleeping right now. How may I be of assistance?” Reiner asked Zak politely with a slight bow.

“I’m here to pick up my toy,” Zak said as a small smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

“Excuse me? I’m not sure what you’re referring to,” Reiner replied smoothly.

“Maybe you’re confused about what or who I’m referring to. Natalia is not my toy. She’s the love of my life. I’m here to pick up a small wireless vibrator, I mean, it won’t vibrate without this remote right?” Zak said casually as he fished out the small remote to show Reiner.

“Master Zak. Are you aware of what you just said?” Reiner replied in a tense voice. Natalia, is the love of Zak’s life? What is going on?

“You mean about the vibrator? Or about Natalia being the love of my life?” Zak teased back.

“Master Zak! You are her cousin...” Reiner’s voice started getting louder and deeper as he let his anger show.

“Six years. That’s how long we’ve been sleeping together. Although she only accepted me officially as her lover after two years, so I’ve been her lover for only 4 years out of those,” Zak explained proudly as he smiled.

“Are the elders of the main family aware of this? Is your mother, Madame Francesca, aware of this...relationship?” Reiner asked with a frown. Why is Zak being so open and upfront about all this? Natalia and his relationship should be taboo.

“I don’t know. I don’t care and I don’t think you should care either,” Zak replied without remorse or worry in his voice.

“Why are you here? I know you’re not here to take back the sex toy,” Reiner asked, his patience wearing thin.

“Natalia is my lover. I love her. I don’t care how many lovers she’s had or is having besides me. I’ve been with her the longest and I’m certain that I love her the most. No one can take Natalia away from me,” Zak stated slowly and clearly.

“Aren’t you just scared deep down that someone will steal her away?” Reiner asked with a small laugh.

“Not at all. Natalia won’t ever leave me; she can’t do it. I won’t ever hurt Natalia and she will never hurt me,” Zak said with a sad smile.

“You’re marrying Miss Annie soon. Does Natalia know about that yet?” Reiner asked.

“She’s probably guessed. Even if I get married and Natalia marries someone else, we’ll still be together. Our relationship would not change. If you think I’m crazy, you can ask Natalia. I’m sure she’ll give you the same answer,” Zak replied with certainty as if reading from a fact book.

“What do you want from me?” Reiner asked. Something about Zak and his way of thinking is giving Reiner the creeps.

“You smell like her. She’s very gorgeous and very passionate in bed, right?” Zak replied in a kind yet chilly voice.

“What do you want?” Reine repeated once more. Zak is much smarter and more perceptive than he thought. No wonder this young man is Madame Francesca’s only son and heir.

“Don’t hurt her. You can sleep with her if she wants you, no issues. Just don’t hurt her. She’s been through too much already. If you hurt her, I’ll have no other choice but to kill you...” Zak spoke slowly with a small sigh.

“I don’t believe killing is your fort as much as it is mine,” Reiner replied with clear hostility in his voice. Taking threats is not his thing.

“I won’t kill you with a gun, Reiner. I’ll kill you with information. I know who you really are. Just imagine how much hatred Natalia will show you, if she were to find out...” Zak whispered softly into Reiner’s ear.

Reiner stood there stunned. There’s someone who knows who he really is...? Judging from Zak’s implication of Natalia’s hatred, he must really know the truth. How did he find out?

“Oh, let me just drop this here. You might want to...play with it later,” Zak said cheerfully as he tossed the small wireless remote at Reiner’s feet. Zak turned around and walked away while waving his hand.

Chapter 89: The Prince and the Fake Princess

**Around ten years ago**

“Zak, come here. This is Natalia, my daughter. From now on, she’s your cousin. Isn’t it wonderful to have a sister?” Lucien said proudly to me as he introduced his newly acquired daughter.

Lucien just married this scrawny girl’s mother and now they are moving in to live with him which meant that they would be next door. This is my first time meeting her since my mother refused to attend their wedding, just like the other family members. I glanced at the girl’s mother; she looks so normal. Everyone says that she’s a gold digger and fooled Lucien into marrying her to get to his money. If you asked me, I think Lucien could have found a better-looking gold digger and one without an annoying-looking daughter.

“Hi...” I replied dryly without even bothering to fake a smile. I glanced towards my mansion hoping that my mother wasn’t watching this exchange. She had made it clear that she didn’t want me to talk or have anything to do with ‘that gold digger’s daughter’.

The girl, Natalia, was plain ugly. She was too thin. Her hair was a funny color and didn’t look well taken care of. Her face was common and...her eyes looked so lonely...

“Hi, my name is Natalia. Nice to meet you,” she said softly as she presented to me her best smile. I knew a fake smile once I see one because I’ve faked over a thousand of them over the course of my short life.

“Hi, I’m Zak,” I replied shortly without a smile.

I knew with certainty. This girl, she’s the same as me.

...

The first time that I met Zak was when Lucien introduced us to each other a few days after mother and I moved in to live with Lucien in his mansion. I felt very shy when I came face-to-face with Zak. Zak was already a very handsome boy back then. I wondered if all rich boys looked as wonderful and godly like Zak did. I could tell by the look of disdain in his eyes that he didn’t like me, and to be honest, I didn’t like myself much either. I tried to give him my prettiest and most friendly smile when I introduced myself, but he didn’t smile back at me.

“Hi, my name is Natalia. Nice to meet you,” I said as I gave him my best smile.

It would be great if we could become friends. After all, he’s going to be my cousin and my neighbor from now on. However, I didn’t get my hopes up. I was well aware of what I must seemed like in his eyes and also in the eyes of Lucien’s other family members. A poor and plain girl that the family had to take in because her ‘gold digger’ mother was able to fool Lucien into marrying her.

From the day I moved into Lucien’s mansion, I started a new life as a rich little lady of the Rosenhall family. Yes, I am Natalia Rosenhall now. I had nothing to complain about the comfort of the big mansion except that it could get lonely sometime being in such a big place with so few people. The worst was my new school, a private school where selected few heirs and key family members of elite families could attend. Frankly, the school was forced to accept me in because I was now Lucien’s stepdaughter, and therefore, a key member of the Rosenhall family.

The hateful and discriminating stares I received since the first day at school was enough proof that even if the school had accepted my enrollment, the students and teachers did not. Not surprisingly, I didn’t make any friends. Other students either ignored me or were outspoken about how disgusted they were that I was attending the same school as they are. I kept silent throughout it all. I could understand where they were coming from. I don’t blame them that they didn’t want me here, after all, I didn’t want to be here either.

Whenever my mother asked me how school was, I smiled my brightest smile and told her that it was amazing and that I had many good friends. I wanted mother to be happy with her marriage and have no regrets. So, what if school life isn’t going so well for me? If my mother could be happy after all this time that she spent dealing with the hardship of being a single mum, then it must all be worth it.

To my surprise, Zak also went to same school. Well, I guess as one of the main heirs of the Rosenhall family, it shouldn’t be surprising that he was here. What was surprising was that I was here too. He was two grades above me which made sense since he was two years older. Zak’s situation at school was the polar opposite of mine. Zak was the school’s ‘Prince’ and I mean that metaphorically and literally.

Although, I tried my best to zone out as much as possible from what was going on around the school, no one could ignore Zak’s presence. He didn’t just stand out, but everyone made sure that he stood out as well. There was a life-size portrait of Zak in front of the school gates showcasing him as the top and honorable student, no one could miss it if they walked past it every day. Everyone was his fan, both the girls and the boys. They all refer to him as ‘The Prince’. Whenever, I went to the toilet, girls would gossip about Zak and how bad they wanted to date him. When I walked pass the gym or the field, the boys would talk about how they wanted to be as popular, as good looking, as smart or as athletic as Zak. Zak was everywhere.

I didn’t know until much later how this overly excessive attention made Zak feel. However, what I did know for a fact was that the more they loved or admired Zak, the more they hated the fact that I was ‘related’ to him. I learnt that through harsh experiences...

I thought my first year at the new school was the worst. However, soon I quickly learnt that it was just the start of my journey through hell. It started with society completely ignoring me. No one spoke to me, people stared at me with hatred and disgust in their eyes, and no one wanted to be physically close to me. When I walked into a crowded room or hallway, it would immediately become silent, and people would part to the side to make way for me to get through. I didn’t let it get to me though, if they didn’t want to be friends with me, I didn’t want them as my friends either.

...

“You know that Natalia wasn’t born a Rosenhall right? I mean, how can she be here with all of us?” a girl said with disgust in her voice.

“Exactly. I heard her mother’s a prostitute and Natalia was born from one of her customers. Ewww!” another girl replied.

“That’s just disgusting. We better stay away from her, so we don’t get contaminated by her dirt. Hanging out with her is going to ruin our prospect of marriage to suitable partners,” another girl chimed in.

“I can’t believe she is sharing the same last name as our Prince. She acts all high and mighty just because she has the Rosenhall last name but, she’s just a fake! She’s a fake princess!” the first girl shouted while the others laughed.

I waited until the girls left and I was sure that no one else was in the toilet before exiting my cubicle. Lunchtimes are the worst, I thought, as I threw away whatever was left of my food. Today, as almost always, I ate in the toilet all alone and listened to many girls badmouth my mother and me. It was a common subject that they never tire of. Soon, I was referred to as the ‘Fake Princess.’

Chapter 90: Guardian Angel

Hello Monday. I hate you and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday too. I opened my locker while jumping a little to the side to avoid whatever was going to pop out of it today. Today nothing popped out but there were loads of condoms inside my locker along with a note saying “Whore!!!”. Well, I guess this isn’t the worst Monday that I’ve had. Where can I donate condoms...?

...

By the second semester, people started getting used to the fact that I will probably be a permanent member of the school. Therefore, instead of ignoring me as they did before, they started to approach me directly with their comments. Saying rude things to my face became a thing. Destroying my belongings became more common and extended beyond my locker to my gym clothes and shoes, my bag, my food, my books, my homework and whatever else they could get their hands on while I was away or not looking.

The teachers decided not to interfere or decided that it was not worth it for them to risk their jobs to protect this one girl. I guess going up against daughters and sons of many powerful and wealthy family to protect one girl from getting bullied was not part of their job description and honestly, I did not blame them at all. After almost a year of being in this situation, I had gotten used to it and didn’t get my hopes up that someone would save me.

Throughout it all, I never directly met or spoke a single word to Zak at school. I ran into him at some family event or when Lucien dragged me over to Zak’s mansion to see his older sister, Madame Francesca. Even then, we didn’t say anything to each other except from formal greetings. I was relieved that things turned out this way. Having absolutely no interaction with Zak is the best solution for my situation. If the other found out that I had any interaction with Zak, the bullying will certainly get worst.

Then my mother passed away. I didn’t have to go to school for a week as I dealt with my mother’s funeral and my own grief. When I returned, things went from worst to even worst. For some reason being a gold digger’s daughter was bad but being a gold digger’s daughter with a dead mother was worst. Perhaps they believed that since my mother was dead, Lucien would have no reason to keep me around anymore. Whatever the reason was, the bullying got worst. It became confrontational both verbally and physically.

...

It’s raining so hard today and of all the days, it had to rain today when I had after school duties. It’s late now, I bet everyone has gone home. I stopped at my locker, just as expected, those people stole my umbrella again. It’s a walk away to the car...should I just run for it? No other choice, I guess...

I grabbed my bag and walked towards the exit. The school was deserted by now and probably only the guards are left at the entrance gates. I stood at the exit as I looked out at the pouring rain. It doesn’t seem like it will stop very soon at this rate, it will probably pour all night. I need to make a run for it.

Then I saw it from the corner of my eye. An umbrella? Leaning against one of the pillars was a black umbrella. There really are small miracles in this world after all. It’s ok if I take it right? I promise that I will return it tomorrow. Phew! I didn’t know the school had umbrellas we could borrow.

...

“Master Zak! Why are you all drenched? I put an umbrella inside your bag...” an old maid complained in shock when she saw me.

“I lost it,” I replied curtly as I walked past her. I ran a hand through my soaked hair. It’s cold, I need a warm bath. This sucks...but better me than her...

...

“Bryan, you’ve got good grades too, right?” Zak asked one of his best buddies.

“Yea...you know I’m second only to you. Why are you asking?” Bryan replied cautiously. Zak never asks these types of questions unless he needed something.

“Prep some study guides for all subjects for Grade 9. Make it easy so even a dummy would understand,” Zak replied with his princely smile.

“Why...Yup, right away My Prince” Bryan started to ask but stopped right away as he was met with narrowed golden eyes.

...

Monday came again, not like any of the other days were better. My grades are terrible because I can hardly concentrate in class. I wonder if I’ll be able to graduate at this rate. I opened my locker while jumping away a little to avoid any potential crisis. Nothing popped out today, phew! Huh? They’re so many notebooks in here. I’m pretty sure these are not mine; they seem to be study guides and notes. ‘Study guide for a dummy,’ said a small sticky note. I looked around quickly but there was no one there. Who put these here?

...

“Yo, mister number one, how does it feel to score top place in the exams all the time?” Bryan teased me as he slapped me on my back.

“Same as always...” I replied.

“Then why have you been smiling absent-mindedly all day today?” Bryan asked. This guy can be too observant sometimes.

“It’s nothing,” I replied dispassionately while glancing at a certain name in the top ten on the scoreboard.

“Oh my god! The Fake Princess made it to the top ten of the class? Is this for real?!? She was failing at almost every subject before though...” a girl exclaimed followed by other students making similar comments.

I guess I was right. Natalia is not stupid after all, I thought as I walked off with Bryan.

...

“Ahhhhhh!!! Stop...pulling my hair!” I screamed as one of my classmates pulled on my hair. I struggled against the other two girls holding my arms. These girls are crazy! It hurts!

“Hit her! Just don’t hit her face...we don’t want anyone to find out,” another girl instructed as the others started to hit my body.

I tried to struggle and kick them back but there was a limit to what I could do against four other girls. I should have been able to avoid this, I knew it was a bad idea to enter the changing room when they were still inside. How do I get out of this now? Should I just pretend to faint? Will they leave then?

**Ring Ring Ring!!!**

What just happened? There’s water everywhere and the alarms are ringing so loud. The sprinkler and the fire alarm are on? Is there a fire?

“Shit! There’s a fire right now?!” one of my captives shouted in a panic.

“Let’s get out of here! Just leave the Fake Princess here!” the other replied as she shoved me to the ground.

“Good luck, Bryan,” I replied with the cigarette still between my lips. I tapped him on the shoulder as I walked away.
