My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 35

-AMIERA

The following day Adam meets me at the school’s entrance, and surprising me, he picks

me up in his arms and gives me a long, sweet kiss that leaves me dizzy when he finally puts

me down.

“You’re ready to go to class?” he asks, his hands lingering on my waist.

I nod my head.

I’m nervous about it, but I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my life. I want us to be open; I want people to know. I don’t want to go through what I went through with him and Lizzie in the past. This could be avoided if people knew where we stood.

He takes my hand in his, and the moment we enter the corridor, all eyes are on us. We don’t have to say anything; the fact that we’re holding hands alone should show them that we aren’t just friends. As if to emphasize our relationship, Adam leans down and kisses my head.

I can already see the envy in many eyes as we walk past them; people are not happy to see Adam and me together. Of course, all of the women who fantasize about him will have more reasons to hate me from now on.

When we enter the classroom, everyone begins to silence each other and point towards us. Bryan walks up to me and grabs my arm, “what the f**k is this, Amiera?”

Adam grabs him by his neck and shoves him up against the wall, “don’t you ever f*****g touch my woman again.”

Lizzie walks in at the same time and sees this, she doesn’t hide her anger from either one of us, and I can sense that Adam is tensed now that she’s entered the room. Why did her presence bother him so much? He lets go of Bryan and takes my hand in his to guide us to our new seats. Abigail is gaping at me, and I know that there is plenty we have to talk about.

Now that our class knew about our relationship, it was time to break the news to my family.

I was terrified of telling them the truth, but I needed to get it out of the way. I knew now

that I wanted to build my life with Adam. The only way for that to happen was to have my family’s blessings. I know that they would hate the idea of us together at first, but when they realized that the prophecy was a lie, that Adam wasn’t a monster, they would allow us to be together; I’m sure that they may even be happy for us.

The day goes by quickly, and everyone looks and treats me so differently now that I’m with Adam. No one says anything to disrespect me, and everyone keeps their distance whenever

It’s time for me to break the news to my brother and sister. Adam left me here so that they

wouldn’t see us together, I didn’t want them to see us until I told them the truth.

Thear footsteps and think that it must be them. However, when I turn around, I don’t see my siblings; the first person that I see is Lizzie.

“What do you want?” I ask Lizzie. “If this is about Adam and me announcing our relationship…”

She laughs, an evil one, “you’re so f*****g delusional, aren’t you?” I fold my arms, “excuse me?”

“There is so much that you don’t know about Adam, so much that you’ll be shocked to hear what I have to say today.”

“I don’t need to listen to any of your lies.”

“Believe me,” she says. “If you don’t listen to what I have to tell you today, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. I’m doing you a favor by telling you the truth.”

“Yeah?” I ask sarcastically. “And what’s this truth that you speak off?”

The grin on her face tells me that it’s isn’t any good. She’s looking at me like I’m stupid for ever believing him in the first place. What could she possibly have to say to make me regret my decision to be with Adam?

“Adam has been lying to you all along. This entire charade that he’s doing with you, it’s all so that he can get you to trust him. The truth is that Adam is precisely the kind of person that everyone has warned you about. Your parents were right to tell you to stay away from him; even your cheating ex-boyfriend was looking out for you when he told you to stay away from Adam. He’s been reporting everything to me since the beginning. Did he get you to touch a candle when he invited you over to movie night? That candle has been in his family for generations; it can tell who the flaming whisperer is when she touches it, her body feels like it’s on fire. It’s how he knew that you were the flaming whisperer, it’s how he knew to call you out for the fire fairy festival. He didn’t believe in you like he wanted everyone to think; he knew beforehand. All of this, it was only his trap that you fell oh so perfectly into. You falling in love with him was only the icing on the cake; he knew that he was getting closer to getting you on

his side,”

“Why would he do something like that?” I demand. “Why go through so much trouble just

for me to trust him?”

reporting your progress to me; I know everything about you. He’s told me it all. Why do you think? I’m the woman he loves, not you. He’s doing all of this so that we can both rule the world. It isn’t a lie; the prophecy is true. Adam does want to become the most powerful being alive, and he can only achieve such power with your help. Have you noticed anything strange

with him ever since you started being by his side? Have you noticed his power growing stronger? That’s all you’re doing. You’re not the only one gaining strength while being around him; he is also. He isn’t doing this for you, he’s doing this for himself, and that’s the whole

truth.”

-“Why should I believe you?” I ask. “You’ve never liked me. If you’re both in love and he wants to rule the world with you, why would you turn against him to spill the truth to me?” |

demand.

“You don’t have to believe me,” she snaps. “I have nothing to lose by warning you. If you don’t believe me, ask him for yourself. I love Adam, and I hate to see him with another woman, especially you. That is the truth. But I’m not trying to tell you a lie; he is doing all of this to get you on his side, for you to trust him. Like I said, ask him for yourself.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I don’t wait for her to say anything else; I run off into the direction I saw Adam leaving in

earlier. I need to catch him; I need him to tell me that all of this is a lie. My feelings, he couldn’t

have been playing with them. I don’t know what would happen to me if I knew that this was all

true. I don’t know how I will handle it.

Istop running when I spot him inside his jeep. He sees me simultaneously, and I can tell that he already knows something is up. He jumps down from the vehicle and comes to me.

“What’s wrong?” He asks, alarmed. “Why are you crying? Did your brother tell you something about us? What’s it? Tell me.”

“Is it true?” I demand. “Is everything Lizzie told me about you true?”

The look of guilt that crosses his face makes my heart sink to the bottom.

No. No. No.

It can’t be true. It can’t!

“Amiera—,”

“I just want to know the truth, Adam!” I shout. “I don’t want to hear any excuses. Just tell me if it’s true! Were you using me to gain power? Did you know I was the flaming whisperer from the start? Inviting me to your home for movie night was that just your chance of finding out if I was the flaming whisperer? Is it true that you’re only trying to gain my trust so that I can

He looks away from my piercing gaze and turns around to kick the tires of his jeep. He then turns back to me with a look of remorse on his face, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

The tears are flowing more now, and I don’t know how to control them. I’m breaking down; all of my walls are falling apart. I’m finding it hard to breathe, and my feelings are choking the

life out of me.

Igrab his shirt and gaze into his cold eyes, “how could you do this to me?”

“I loved you!” I scream while hitting his chest over and over again. “You let me fall in love with you even after knowing you were going to betray me in the end. How could you, Adam, how could you betray me like this? I believed you every step of the way. I trusted you even when others begged me not to. I took the risk to be around you when my parents would have killed me for even looking your way. I did all of these things because I loved you; how can you be so evil? How can you do this to me? I wanted to believe that you were nothing like what others said you were. I wanted to believe that you were good. How could I have been so blind? Why did I ever trust someone like you?”

He grabs my wrists in my hand, “I’m a monster. Yes, I’am-a monster who never deserved you from the start. I’m glad that you know that now. You can leave and never look back; this is your chance. You and I can never have anything. We are too different; you’re pure and good, a shining light; I’m everything else. Dark, evil, drowning in my pit of lies. This was bound to happen. I’m glad Lizzie told you the truth; I could have never been the good man you wanted me to be. I let things get too far; I also got caught up in something that never existed. I’m not sorry for all the memories we made together; leave now, Amiera. You know the entire truth now, the world will always put us against each other, I knew that would happen eventually, and it’s finally begun today. LEAVE!”

“I hate you,” I whisper. “I hate you so much. I’ll never let you get what you want. You’ll never rule the world as long as I’m alive. I’ll put a stop to your plans. You’ll be sorry for treating me the way you did, for breaking my heart. This is my promise to you, Adam Ashford. You’ll have to kill me to get where you want to be, and even then, I’ll still haunt you for the rest of your life. You’ll never find a woman to love you the way that I did. No one will ever be as pure as I was in this relationship. I would have done anything for you. ANYTHING!” I shout. “From today onwards, you and I are enemies.”

I don’t wait for him to say anything else as I turn and walk away from him.

Even though my heart is breaking and my mind feels betrayed, I keep on walking. I have to

that I love never existed. This isn’t just about me anymore; this is about protecting the entire world from the evil inside Adam.

I couldn’t let him get what he wanted. I couldn’t.
