"Karma is a bitch" Annabelle grin and push the dagger further, brutally into her head.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Bianca's blood splashed all over the white sheet. Ricky's eyes widened in terror while Lord Smith let out a dark chuckle. He is never going to let this slide.

Annabelle removed her daggers swiftly from Bianca's face as she took her last breath. She slowly turn to Ricky, her eyes burn with excitement.

"Stop!" Lord Smith's voice sounded as she made to attack him. A displeasing look appeared on her face. Is Ricky going to escape this just because he is his brother?

"Godfather" she frowned.

"I'll handle him" Lord Smith said, he continued. "C'mon now Doll, you've done a good job. Ricky will be punished too but not with death"

Annabelle sneered and shot a glare at Ricky who glued himself to the wall with a stun look. With slow steps, she left the room and shut the door.

Lord Smith shifted his gaze to his brother. Ricky clinched his jaw hard.

"You shouldn't have killed her" He spoke, his voice trembling a little.

"You shouldn't have sexed her.. I know you two had been together secretly.." Lord Smith stepped forward to him.

"Then why didn't you react?" He asked.

"I wanted to test Doll" Lord Smith's eyes flickered with something dangerous. Just yesterday he killed Scar just to know how fast Annabelle's revenge is going to be.

"And I must say, she getting more dangerous"

Getting to her room, Annabelle punch the wall hard with groan, leaving a crack on the wall. Her anger isn't settled..

She laid in her bed for a long time with many things running through her mind, one of the mobsters came to bring her dinner but she rejected it saying she wants to be alone. Something clicked her mind, and she sprang up from her bed.

The voice and and the woman picture.

Luckily for her, Ethan's laptop is still with her. Just when she made to search for it she got a strange feeling.

Someone had entered her room while she was in school, the arrangements seems different.

She carefully look around her room and then.. she spot it... A hidden small camera at one side of her room.

The devil is watching her..

In his dark office, Lord Smith eyes squinted with amusement. He is going to be keeping an eye on her from now on.

Meanwhile Ethan ate quietly as Mrs Serena kept telling him about her day of work. He was only humming in reply.

"Okay, what's wrong?" she finally asked when she couldn't take the weird response anymore.

"Nothing" He replied short.

"Whenever there's something, you always say nothing or hum" She said.

"Nothing" he replied again while eating slowly.

"How's Annabelle? It's being long I've seen her. Is everything alright with you two?" She asked.

"Hmm"

"You've got to be kidding me!" She almost raised her voice and Ethan finally look up at her. "I thought we've pass the terms of keeping things away from each other"

"Uhm.. sorry mom I was just thinking" Ethan replied lowly.

"About what?" She asked.

"About.. sigh.. I don't know, I just don't know what to do or think. I feel like she slipping away from me" Ethan muttered.

"There's no love without battle. The question is.. is it worth fighting for?" She asked and watch him clinch his jaw before nodding. "Then fight for it until it works" she stood with a smile and tap his shoulder gently before entering the kitchen.

Determination flashed on Ethan's face.

(NEXT DAY.. BRILLIANT HIGH)

Annabelle took a deep breath, staring at the classroom she was about to go into.

"You can do this Annabelle, all you have to do is ignore him.. don't talk to him, don't even look at him or smile. It's for his own good" she closed her eyes and whispered to herself again. "It's for his own good"

With slow steps, she walked into the class and her jaw practically dropped on the floor when she saw Ethan sitting on Daniel's seat, which was next to hers. She spot Daniel sitting with Barbara.. and gave him a questioning look.

"He said he was going to burst my balls if I don't change my seat" Daniel answered her unspoken question. "Beside I'm fine here with Barbara.. since you guys are together then it should be fine"

Annabelle exhaled nervously and move her gaze to Ethan, who gave her a wink... Gosh! He is so stubborn and handsome!

Why does he have to be this handsome? Is she going to be able to avoid him while sitting next to him? Why is he making it so hard for her? Isn't he scared after she had told him what she does?

Having no choice, she walk to sit beside him.

"Good morning babe" Ethan greeted but didn't get a reply. "It's a bad thing not to reply your boyfriend"

Annabelle placed her book on the table with a light thud and look at him. "What do you think you're doing?"

"What do you think you're doing?" Ethan asked back rasing his brow. "Do you remember what I told I'll do once you try to avoid me?" He asked and she swallowed.

That was the day they kissed in the library..

"This is not a joke Ethan.."

"I'm not joking.. I know I should be running away from you but I can't. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about you. I've missed you Belle.. it feels like I'm crazy" he spoke, Annabelle could feel her heart fluttering at his word.

She is right, this is going to be harder than she thought...

"Do you feel the same?" He asked all of a sudden.

Annabelle avert her gaze from him. "I don't have a choice Ethan.. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to you" she felt his hand under the table holding hers. The hand felt warm and eased her tense nerves.

"I was told to fight for what is worth for me" he muttered and their eyes met again with emotions swirling in them.

Selene who was watching them twitch her lips. "Those two look cute together" she said. Jennifer who heard this gave her a look. "Oh that came out wrong" she quickly said.

"It's fine, I'm over him already" Jennifer replied.

"Really? I can see the way you stare at him" Selene said.

"It's just that Annabelle isn't what he think she is" Jennifer muttered and Selene frowned.

Just then, the teacher walked into the class and the students composed themselves. Annabelle bought out her pen and began to write down something.

ISADORA..

Her brow furrowed at the word as she stared that it.. "Isadora" she muttered. It's a name..

But who owns it?....
