Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Your Choice,Not Mine

DAWSON'S APARTMENT

Darlina stepped into Dawson's apartment, her cheeks still flushed with a deep blush.

Her lips were still swollen,from the hot kiss she shared with Triston.

The skin on her neck was filled with hickeys but she straightened her rough hair using it to cover the hickeys on her neck.

She still couldn't believe that she kissed her best friend, That always got on her nerves but was still a sweetheart to her.

They didn't just kiss but it was more, They had even dryhumped, f-king each other through their clothes and she felt her face grow more hot.

How the hell would she be able to face him Tommorow at school? Damn, She planned on avoiding him all through cuz what they did had already changed everything between them.

Darlina frowned when she saw Dawson seating and Hazel was serving him food.

She rolled her eyes and greeted only Hazel already making her way to her room but stopped when she heard Dawson's voice.

"Am I invisible? Can't you greet?"

Darlina turned around slowly and smiled sarcastically.

"I can't see you"She responded coldly, staring at him.

Hazel bit her lips hard, making secret gestures with her eyes to Darlina but she pretended not to notice that.

"You can't see me?"Dawson clenched his Jaw and Hazel could see that he was already getting angry and her heart pounded hard against her chest.

"Exactly,All I see is a dog....A useless ugly good for nothing dog who..."

"How dare you fucking Insult me? I pay for your damn school fees, Say one more word and I'll fucking make sure you never speak again"He roared, slamming his fists against the table making it bounce and the plates and glasses shattered on the floor with a loud clash.

Darlina and Hazel flinched.

But Darlina didn't look Scared except Hazel who was already trembling.

"I never asked you....."She didn't get to complete her statement when Hazel grabbed her firmly.

"That's enough, Go to your room. I'll bring your food to you"

"No"Dawson growled. "She's not fucking eating in my house today, That'll be her punishment for insulting me"

Hazel gasped. "But she hasn't eaten since...."

"Stop, I wasn't even hungry"Darlina said with cold eyes and walked to her room, slamming the door hard in annoyance.

Hazel sighed, turning around to face Dawson but she flinched when she saw that he was already in front of her.

Her heart skipped a beat in fear and opened her mouth to apologise on behalf of Darlina but her eyes widened when Dawson's hands wrapped around her neck, slamming her against the wall.

His grip tightened, choking her, and she gasped, a faint, wheezing sound escaping her lips as her lungs burned for oxygen.

"Warn that bitch you call your sister that the next time she speaks to me like that... You both will die in my hand that day"He warned, still holding her neck tightly and she gasped in pain, nodding her head quickly as she desperately tried to free her neck from his grip.

Dawson finally released his grip, and Hazel fell to the floor, gasping for air.

Her chest heaved, her lungs burning and she started coughing hard. Thick blood came out of her mouth, dropping on her palm but she wasn't surprised.

It was now a normal thing, She panted heavily, shutting her eyes tightly as she tried to breath properly.

Dawson stood over her, his chest rising and falling with heavy breathing. His face was filled with wickedness as he stared her on the floor trying to breath.

"You will return back to your work tomorrow and you also have my permission to go to Italy with him but if you dare let him touch or f-ck you, I'll kill you why f-king you. Do you understand?"

She nodded, Still struggling to breath as hot tears poured down her eyes.

"Good, Now get up from there and go clean that mess"He said coldly, referring to the broken glass and plates.

"And when you're done,I want you naked on the bed"

Hazel flinched, nodding her head submissively again.

RAPHEAL'S PENTHOUSE

Elsa's eyes fluttered open, wincing slightly when she felt a faint painful ache in her abdomen but it was no longer like last night.

She sat up, staring around in surprise. She was very sure that she slept in the bathtub last night so how did she get on the bed?

Her cheeks flushed red, realizing that Rapheal must have carried her to bed and that meant he had seen her bare body.

The thought made her face red more but she pushed it aside, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

A soft smile instinctively spread across her face when she recalled the way Rapheal had tended to her.

His voice was so Gentle and Soft and she was surprised cuz he had always said that he wasn't concerned about her, That he didn't care about her but last night he seemed different.

He had never spoken to her so softly before so what changed?

Was Rapheal's feelings for her changing?

Does that mean that he doesn't hate her anymore?

She sighed, throwing off the covers away from her body and stood up, ignoring the tiny pain and walked into the bathroom.

Elsa had a very long shower and walked to her closet, She wore a pair of high-waisted Skin tight pants with a matching white crop top and a pair of black heeled boots.

She took her black leather jacket and wore it, smiling at the mirror.

She tied her hair in a ponytail and grabbed her backpack before heading out of her room.

Elsa hurried down the stairs hoping to see Rapheal so she could thank him for last night but he wasn't in the living room.

She was about to walk into the kitchen when she saw Rapheal's dog staring at her and she gulped.

"Don't be afraid Elsa, He won't bite you"Maria laughed, feeding the dog a bowl filled with milk.

She blinked.

"He's staring at me like he wants to swallow me,I don't like him. What if he starts chasing me again"Elsa said, already heading to the main door to run out.

"You should have breakfast before leaving for school, What should I make for you?"

"Don't bother Maria"She swallowed hard as she saw Max standing up and walking towards her with it's tail wagging.

"I have to go now, Byeeeeee"Elsa shouted and immediately ran out the house with her heart pounding hard against her chest.

LEXINGTON INSTITUTE

"Did you study well yesterday? We have Maths test today and I'm super nervous cuz I didn't even read"Elsa chewed on her lips as she walked hand in hand with Triston.

His tongue darted out to wet his lips slowly as he remembered what happened between him and Darlina when they were supposed to be studying.

"You didn't study? Why?"Triston looked at her slowly.

"Cramps"She muttered lowly. "I almost died last night"

"Shit"Triston cursed lowly with a concerned expression. "It happened again?"

"Duhh, I'm a lady"She deadpanned.

"A girl"He corrected and she glared at him hard making him laugh a little.

"But why is it always painful for you? Darlina once mentioned that she doesn't feel pains when on her period"

Elsa shrugged, with a straight face.

"I guess it's nature and we're different too"She responded softly and Triston only nodded in response even when he didn't understand what she said.

"Speaking of Darlina,My crazy girl. She hasn't come to school yet...."Elsa stopped at her words when she saw Darlina walking towards them.

But immediately she sighted Triston, She turned around and took another route.

Triston and Elsa blinked.

Elsa was confused and she turned to Triston who was looking at her nervously.

She immediately knew that there was something she wasn't aware of.

"What happened?"She folded her arms, staring at Triston with raised brows.

"Nothing...."

Elsa continued staring at him not believing that lie and he sighed running his fingers through his hair.

"We both might have kissed...."

Elsa's eyes widened in Shock and she blinked. She blinked again and then a big smile spread across her face.

"Finally"She grinned widely.

"What do you mean by 'Finally'?"He blushed.

"I always knew that there was something"She winked, still smiling.

"But I think she's avoiding me now"He mumbled, frowning.

"I'll talk to her, Don't worry"She smiled and he smiled back in return.

"Thanks Elsa baby"

"Anything for my Trarlina"Darlina smiled. "That's a ship name for you both"She winked again.

Triston laughed. "You're so fucking weird"

She still continued smiling.

AT THE ROAD

Rapheal's deep voice filled his car as he sang along to the loud music playing in his car.

🎶 Girl, you're so dirty, got me feeling so mean 🎶

🎶 Got me wanting to tie you up, make you scream 🎶

🎶 Your body's so sinful, got me feeling like a saint 🎶

🎶 Got me wanting to corrupt you, make you mine tonight 🎶

He continued singing loudly while driving until he suddenly almost ran into someone,His eyes widened and he immediately slammed on the brakes.

The car screeched loudly coming to stop,He immediately got out of his car and went to the lady he almost killed and when she turned around...His eyes widened in shock.

The Lady also looked shocked to see Rapheal as she held her two year old daughter close to her chest.

Rapheal was too shocked that he couldn't speak,He continued staring and then his eyes went to the kid she was holding.

"S... S..Stephanie"He stuttered,his heart pounding wildly against his chest.

"R... Rapheal"

"Whose....?"He started to ask staring at the child in her arms.
