CHRISTINA ODINSON : MY AWAITING FATE.

Chapter 13

Byakuya looked at the shaking leaf in front of him, she is in her own fantasy world, and he was about to cruelly crash in the next few seconds.

The devil smirked at his evil thought. He will enjoy watching this diamonds spark turns dull,and she will realize that all of those things were just fragments of her own fantasies, and she will have no one to blame but her foolish, young herself for being naïve and stupid.

“Whatever it is that you are planning with whoever, I won’t let you win. You are just fooling yourself. Save your heart while you still can”.

After a short pause, he continued,

“You are only fooling yourself”. Said all these with a low and cold voice that sends shivers down her back.

Tears started to pool in her eyes with a satisfied look. He gracefully gulped the remaining contents in the crystal glass and then put it down on the small table.

He stood up and walked to her with slow strides as if prolonging her miserable fate.

He stopped in front of her with his dress shoes tips touching her bare toes.

His cologne that was once engulfing the room like a fresh breeze after the rain was now clouding all her senses.

It was intoxicating that her nose got greedy in smelling it in, like her favorite drug.

Her heart picked up speed; it was now hammering against her rib cage, that she suspected he was able to hear it considering, he has super heightened senses and that contributed to her body shaking more, that she felt like she was close to collapsing with how close he was.

To make her situation even worse, he leaned in until he was whispering in her ear.

Even from a mile away, you could feel the cold waves that could put the arctic to shame. Even the polar bears would feel blessed, not be the ones on the receiving end of all that coldness.

With a dark and stoic face, he said “You mean nothing to me and never will. You are just a liability that I will get rid of sooner or later.”

Then he leaned back and paused to look into her eyes that were now filling with tears flowing like a river. With his still expressionless voice, he continued,

“You are just a foolish little girl who still believes in rainbows and unicorns. The sooner you wake up and face reality; the better it will be for you.”

He put both his hands inside his pockets as he concluded, “I don’t care what you do, whether you live or die, just do not ruin my reputation or being alive will be your nightmare, clear?”

With a shaky voice, she shook her head ‘yes’.

Her gave her a perfectly raised eyebrow.

“I meant yes”. Satisfied with her answer, he silently left the room, and yes, he doesn’t sleep in the same room with her.

“Good and if I find that you are plotting against me…” You will meet an end so cruel that even the devil will weep on your behalf. "

She dropped to the floor as if it was pulled from under her feet and sobbed.

A few days later, in the morning at the Kuchiki Estate, a package arrived in the midst of the storm.

A maid handed Mrs Kuchiki an envelope after breakfast.

With confusion, she turned the envelope, only to be more confused by seeing the Royal family emblem stamped

“What!” she screamed.

her heart could not take the news that she read,

‘Impossible, that b***h has succeeded to humiliate me now even the Royal Family wants to meet her’ with a scoff.

The maid looked at her like she had two heads; to avoid being the one receiving the end of her anger, she excused herself.

‘I can't believe this now it will be harder to get rid of her if she is loved by her Majesty, and she will start getting favors. She will also receive protection from her, and I won’t be able to achieve my goal. I can not let that happen. What if she offends any of the members of the Royal Family? Both families will have bad blood; because of that, b***h. I must do something before this clan' reputation is ruined’. With that, Anna was determined to do something.

Grandma Kuchiki entered the living room with Grandpa Kuchiki behind her, looking like they just had an intense conversation, as Grandma Kuchiki is looking sad.

“Mother, father, is everything alright?”. Anna asked, worried that Christina might have done something to disgrace the family.

Toru, with a hard face, replied, “As if it was any of your business.”

Anna looked down, embarrassed by grandpa’s words. She already knew who they were talking about, that made her remember the invitation, her morning turned even more depressing. Her face was glum.

Grandma Kuchiki was about to ask if she was okay, but something in Anna’s hand caught her attention; so, she asked “what is in your hands?”

Now Anna wished she had powers to get rid of everything that included certain someone.

“The Royal Family is hosting a banquet in honor of the new Lady of the Kuchiki Clan.”

She became even more depressed; as if her mind was now realising that her nightmare was becoming a reality, she did not receive that kind to attention when she married the son of Toru Kuchiki, but that the b***h is receiving when she only married for a year and a half.

She also never received the title of the Lady of the Clan, as her husband was not the successor of Toru; even though it never bothered her to much before as her second born son Gaara was the head of the clan.
