ISABELLE
In my previous life and in this life I've only been in love with one person. Xavier Jun, the only man I've looked at all my life, but apparently he only had eyes for his first love, but the funny thing is that in my past life he never even met her, the real her. The moment I realized the truth is was already late, I was foolish and naive and too trusting not only to my aunt and uncle but that snake! Just thinking about that person makes me so mad, so even though I am not his first love the woman that saved his life as a child, I'm simply going to tell the same lie, he never found out the truth the last time either. And at least this time I won't be using his feelings for my own selfish gain. I truly intend to love him.
"Are you really Isabelle?" My friend Jessie asked as I walked out of the Library. "You've never been to the library before and why are you studying lung diseases? Those were last year's topics." She said.
"Don't bother about that we have bigger fish to fry" I say.
"So? Are you finally going to tell him how you feel? What is giving you the courage? You could barely look at him without dashing in the other direction yesterday." My best friend Jessie said.
In this life and in the last I am still nervous but what can I do? I need to do this, not only for my happiness but also for my life. Xavier might just be a handsome college student with a bad attitude and a deep dislike for any or every kind of female student, but in a few years he would hold one of the most powerful companies in this country, he was untouchable. He was basically a sadist, with the worst personality, always pushing everyone away but I still always liked him.
"Yes, I am," I said, walking forward. Just as I was about to reach him another girl walked in front of me and dropped a box of cakes in front of him.
Looking down her shaking was visible, oh dear. She fiddled her hands as she spoke as well, "I-I stayed up all night baking that for you Xavier, please please accept my heart."
I sucked in a lot of air and waited for the disaster that was coming, with pity in my heart for the girl I swear it reminded me of myself in the past, how I did and made the same mistake before.
Looking up at her with those piercing eyes that held no warmth or remorse her grabbed the box of cake and handed it back to her. "If you stayed up all night to make it why don't you eat it yourself." He said non nonchalantly.
I stared at the girl shaking my head as she opened her mouth to speak again, don't do it, don't do it!
"Y-yes but I did it for only you, I wouldn't even put in much effort for myself like this." She said and I covered my face with my hands, it was like verbatim. Oh, the poor girl.
"On that note," he smiled the most wicked smile taking the box and opening it to reveal six cupcakes with his face in the icing. Picking on out her raised it up to examine it further and before the foolish girl was already smiling, suddenly my brain fast-forwarded and it was as though I was watching my own past, he took the cupcake got up and smashed it into my face.
"Why did you do that?" I screeched.
"How the hell did you get my picture? I thought I was explicit, no photos of me!" He yelled.
Tears forming in my eyes, "I-I didn't know, I'm sorry." I choked out.
He scoffed, "of course you didn't" grabbing the next cupcake he tossed violently at the wall, making me watch as he trampled my heart five times over. After he was done, he pushed my chin upwards and forced me to look into those terrifying eyes "I will never ever want to be with somebody like you, the sooner you get that into that dumb skull of yours the better."
As I watched him rise with the cupcake in his hands I rushed forward and pulled the girl back, but I was too late because for the second time the cupcake was smashed into my face.
My eyes could not blink because of the icing that coated my lashes and I felt rage, I know he is the villain, I know he is capable of doing bad things, horrible things. Things he wasted no thought on executing but somehow, the confidence I swear I don't know from whence it came just did and I wiped the smashed cake on my face and flicked my hand so it would drop to the ground.
This was the first time I saw an emotion other than annoyance and emptiness in his eyes towards me, he looked surprised.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked.
"I could ask you the same thing!" I yelled back, angry. Why was I angry? He broke my heart, how could he say such mean things to me? "Why the hell are you so cruel? Would it kill you to let someone down easily? 'thank you for your feelings for me, I'm afraid I can accept it is that hard to say?"
Oh look the annoyance in his eyes is back. "Are you mad? What the hell gives you the right to interfere in this?" His voice became dangerously low, but I was a heartbroken woman who still loved her heart breaker, pitiful? Yes, and I was taking out that annoyance with myself on him.
"And what gives you the right to treat someone else like that? Do you not realize she is someone's precious daughter?" I spat back.
He smiled, "since you want to take it for her" in the blink of an eye, I felt a weight on the top of my hair, then moisture. He slammed the second cupcake into my head. But I was not going to just allow him to walk away with that.
I also reached for another one but before I could hit him with it he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to himself. The proximity drove me insane, and though I struggled to free my hand he was just way stronger than I was. He managed to force me to drop the cake, but what he didn't realize was that I was way smarter than this.
Throwing me backward by flinging my hands away he scoffed, smirking slyly. "Walk away before you embarrass yourself any further, cake face."
So I returned the smirk, "Hey I'm not the only cake face here."
Before he could finish what he was saying I smashed the cupcake I grabbed secretly with my other hand into his face.
