Chapter 0 : The Mirror
"Nicole, I told you, you're boring." Gabriel looked me in the eyes, the look of sheer displease was almost to blatantly "So please, I'm begging you. Just act like to good princess you are and f**k off." bumping my shoulder as he walks past me I stumbled and fell onto the ground eyes brimming with tears
I sat there on the cold hard floor of our mansion hallway covering my face, "oh please, you can stop the act now, he's gone." out from one of the rooms in the hallway is Ashton, my cousin, his arms crossed on his chest leaning on the door frame.
"what're you gonna do about it? it's fun." I stood from the floor a huge grin in my face as I wipe my fake tears away, brushing my silk dress I looked up to him and raised a brow "when are you gonna drop that terrible habit of yours to eaves drop? is your life really lacking drama that you have come to mess with mine?"
he shrugged his shoulder "My house is full of drama as yours, Dad wants me to marry the daughter of his friend."
"but aren't you dating her?" he looked at me with terror
"I'm dating her cousin, not her, I'll have you know I have standards and she does not meet one of them." he retorted "Enough about me. are you really just gonna take what that douche said? I don't remember you being so weak"
I smiled and started walking away, he followed me and we began walking side by side "Have you not heard that the sweetest fruit is when you harvest it later?" I smirked
"Yeah that's not a saying, just say it straight up you know your not smart enough for sayi--" I elbowed him in the guts still holding in my smirk "God, flabbing, dangit, Are you a man? jesus christ you can be a WWE champion with that strength."
"you really wanna die today?"
"No ma'am."
"What I'm trying to say is that, let him do what he wants, let him pile up his sins so later I can collect this debt 10 folds." we walked to the end of the hall, there a single untouched room came to view, once we reached the door and went in, we both smiled, the room was clean despite seemingly being abandoned, the furnishers such as sofa's, a coffee table, and bookshelves were all covered in white cloth, and in the end of the windowless room was a copper glass mirror, it was an oval shaped hanging mirror with golden rims.
"It has been a while hasn't it?"
I didn't reply, I approached the copper glass mirror, inspecting and reminiscing, the mirror was my mothers last momentum, it held so many memories that it was quite hard to look at.
"Aunty would be really sad knowing that two of the kids she raised and thought to be perfectly matched has become like this, One is a Douche and the other is taking in all the abuse, tsk tsk, Aunty you must not blame me, Nicole is doing this on purpose and is to embarrassed to ask her big cousin for help."
I leaned my head on the copper mirror, closed my eyes and sighed, mother, can I beat him up? it's not like I'm letting Gabriel verbally abuse me because I love him, I just want to follow your instructions, be a good girl and them take care of me, but when they decide to do something wrong to us, we make them pay 10 folds. I opened my eyes and smiled, I stared at my reflection in the copper mirror "I have let that man run free for how long?"
"10-ish years"
"The time is soon to come."
I heard a clatter from behind me, dropping the books he was holding, his mouth agape "Really?" I raised a brow looking at his reflection on the copper mirror, I turned my head at him
"why are you so surprised." I asked
"Of coarse I'm surprised! you, my one and only youngest cousin, has been verbally abused by that kid for about 10 years is finally gonna retaliate!"
I gave him a look that speaks for itself, I call it the 'Cut the bullshit' look
"... and so that he can stop being all cocky around me, that boy has been after my girlfriend for months now."
I looked back at the copper mirror, "He's gonna lose it all soon, Just you wait."
I took of the braids off my hair and ruffled my hair around revealing my slightly curly Brown hair, I giggled remembering the fairy tail I was told back when I was a child, snow white, about a sweet young beauty, but I'm not her, I'm not even close to being her, I'm more...
I giggled once again at the thought, it made me really happy and excited "Oh mirror mirror on the f*****g wall, Who is the baddest b***h of them all?"
