Devil's vow novel Chapter 6

Alaina's pov

Maths was a complete recipe of disaster for me, after doing my homework for past two hours, I decided that now if I was not given a break, I would definitely break something.

Truth to be told the problem of chaos didn't lied in the subject but in my muddled head itself. The situation with Calliope was going out of hand day by day and I didn't knew if I even wanted to mend our relationship.

A snake may shed it's skin but never leaves it's venom.

To convert my negative thoughts I made myself go to the gym. My father loved to workout and train but our time was constrained so he constructed a metal gym of his own in our house. The treadmills, punching bags, weightlifting machine were the basic equipments kept there.

So here I am, taking out my anger on a leather bag with the sounds of hitting echoing throughout.

The bitter taste of betrayal has made me wary of Cally, it wasn't a petty grudge I held against her but the conspiracy in her heart for me was astonishing.

My mother always said I lack patience, whenever things got messed up I tried to mend them at the spur of the moment, sometimes things are not meant to be mended, toxicity should not be ignored because it consumes you from inside.

Ignorance is bliss but the girl who is blind to see the pain of others is not blind, just plain selfish.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts I didn't saw the gym door opening.

Cally in her Kevin Calvin outfit. For her I was a pawn in her games. Someone disposable in the quest of the throne.

Truly she was the daughter of her father.

"You won't speak anything?" She asked sugary sweet.

"I have nothing that has to be said."

"Oh stop being melodramatic Alaina, Kevin was a bad person and you weren't even interested."

I laughed a hearty laugh at that. She would have gotten pleasure if I was interested, my indifference spiked nothing but bitterness and the sourness on her face couldn't be hidden from my wary eyes.

"You think you can stoop so low than come to me and blame it all on my doings? I supported you all along and I don't regret anything but that does not makes me vulnerable to your tactics. Next time you target me Cally.......will your last time doing that."
