Chapter 30

Can't believe I've written thirty chapters already!!!

Thanks so much for your motivation.

Brittany's POV

**

Not talking to Cole for weeks was really difficult.

After telling me the heart breaking news of my whole life being a lie, Cole figured out I needed some time alone which I was grateful for but I finally decided that I couldn't dwell in the past forever. It's not like I could change the past... I wanted to move on and start a new life as a nineteen year old. It's not that hard.

Who am I kidding?!?

It was going to be very difficult but I just had to.

It took days for me to believe that I was an orphan now and that the man I had grown to know for years was dead.

It was time to stop being a cry baby, I had to grow up!

I got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

I knew how I looked even before I looked into the mirror.

I mean, you don't expect a girl who spent weeks crying all day to look good.

I hadn't had a decent bath for weeks, I only thought of brushing my teeth twice in weeks and food? I only depended on fruits when I was hungry which was not so often.

Well, all that was going to change now. Brittany Riele was a stronger person now.

I looked worse than I predicted.

My hair was a bushy mess, I had dried tear stains all over my cheeks, pale skin and dark circles around the eyes.

I stripped and turned on the shower. My once stiffened body relaxed at the feel of the cold water.

After scrubbing my body, I wrapped a towel round my body and hair then applied a little amount of toothpaste on my toothbrush.

I brushed my teeth vigorously. After that, I used some mouthwash.

Feeling satisfied, I walked into the closet.

I picked out a pair of jeans and a blue T-shirt and slid them on, putting on a pair of white converse to match.

I brushed my towel dried hair and put it up in a rough bun.

Now, where could I find Cole?

...

Yes! His office!

I stepped out of the room, determined to find Cole.

I met Chloe on my way. We were so happy to see each other again.

We chatted for some time before I set out to my original mission.

With the help of Chloe's direction, I found Cole's office.

A bulky guard was currently standing by the door, trying to intimidate me with his height and dark looks but it wasn't working anyways.

I cleared my throat.

"I'm here to see Master Cole". I said, maintaining a normal voice.

"He's not here". His equally dark voice said.

His eyes narrowed.

"You're a pet, aren't you?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Why aren't you putting on your collar?" He asked, still doing his very best to intimidate me.

"Because my Master, who happens to be Prince Cole has it". I lied.

"I see. It isn't proper for you to walk about without a collar-" He said.

"I know, that's why I'm here". I cut him short.

"Um- he's not in his office right now. He went to receive some guests so wait here, he'll be back soon". He said.

Almost reluctantly, I agreed.

After what seemed like hours, which was probably a few minutes, Cole appeared.

He had company too.

That is, Rhea with another girl whose beauty made me feel more disgusting than Rhea's.

Rhea wore a scowl on her face and Cole's almost blank face didn't look exactly pleased.

The girl clung onto Cole's arm like her life depended on it, making a deep scowl form on my face too.

Who the hell was she?!?

He noticed my presence and I swear, I saw him breath a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing here?" He asked coldly.

Maybe I was hallucinating when I said I saw him breath a sigh of relief.

"Um- I wanted to g-get my collar... Master". I stuttered, hoping he'd get the hint.

"Cole, who's she?" Her sickening sweet voice said.

"She's my pet, Brittany. Pet, meet Larissa". He introduced.

Way to go!

Pet! Really?!?

No need to get your pants in a twist Britt, he has to call you pet or else you wanna arouse suspicion.

Okay, that was actually true.

"You haven't killed this one yet," She said, more like she was talking to herself.

Cole stiffened.

"That's a good thing. I must say your self control has improved". She mused.

Wait, Cole killed his past pets?!?

I watched as the so-called Larissa kissed Cole on the cheek.

I hated her already.

Rhea snorted in an unladylike manner.

Maybe I'm not the only one who hates her.

Cole's expression was blank.

I suspected he wasn't in a good mood either.

"She's gonna be staying with us for a couple of weeks. Pet, take her to her room". Cole said, slightly annoying me.

Weeks? Not days?!?

"Yes Master". I said with my head bowed.

I took her things and led her to her room.

She was a real bitch!

She acted so superior that I had the urge to hit her on the head.

She made me arrange her clothes into the closet according to their color!

I wanted to hit her so bad.

Didn't she have a freaking pet?!?

She finally let me go after helping her with her disgusting hair.

I was fuming by the time I got to the room.

Cole was sitting on the bed, flexing his muscles.

I slammed the door behind me, making Cole notice my presence.

"You finally decided to come back huh?" I said.

"I'm gonna avoid that office as much as I can. I can't have Larissa clinging onto me like a love struck puppy everyday". He said.

Oh, he doesn't like her too!

"Yes I don't". He said.

Wait, he seriously wasn't kidding when he said he could read my mind?!?

"Of course I wasn't". He said. "Oh, I really don't know why Larissa's beauty made you feel disgusting, I think your better than her".

That moment, fireworks exploded in me as my stomach did a back flip.

He really had a way of getting me.
