I tried to catch my breath, which was being choked by the harsh reality. This time Emy looked at me and a clear resentment was printed on her face. I had hoped that everything Emy said was a lie.
"Have you gone blind, Carlo? What do you see in this girl? So different from Emy, like heaven and earth!" The man who was none other than Carlo's father pointed at me with disgust. I could only remain silent, having come from a poor background and not being a werewolf.
Emy smiled mockingly at me, "You know Eve? I've been using you all along. It's just that you're a little smart and too innocent. I easily took advantage of you." Emy sounded like she was holding back laughter. Whereas yesterday they were still joking together. Now it was a sly, dismissive smile on Emy's face.
I clenched my fists, and still couldn't believe those evil words had come out of my best friend's mouth. All this time, I had trusted Emy with everything. Even back then when Emy was bullied, I was the one who helped her.
"Is it because of this marriage that you no longer consider me a friend? We've known each other for a long time, Emy." I whimpered and was already shedding tears. If I knew beforehand, I wouldn't have signed the contract marriage with Carlo and right now I would break this contract marriage in order to be friends with Emy again.
Emy laughed loudly, she walked over to me who was sitting on the floor. "Friends? Even you are too stupid to know that it was my family that destroyed the Anderson family's company," Emy whispered with a sly smile on her lips.
I was shocked to hear that confession. Instantly my hands clenched tightly, forming a very solid fist. It turns out I had been blind all along. The image of my father's face swirled in my mind, I cried even more and felt guilty and did not expect, all this time the person closest to me destroyed the company that his father worked hard to build.
"You! No wonder my mom always forbade me to be friends with you." My voice shook tremendously. My eyes stared intently at Emy who stood proudly.
Once again Emy laughed mockingly, "Of course. I don't want to see you over me, in fact I've always made you look bad in everyone's eyes."
I immediately held my chest which was getting more and more tight, it hurt so much to be betrayed by my own best friend. Even with the heart to stab me in the back.
"Enough!" I stood up. This time my eyes were wide open, all the memories with Emy in the past made me immediately realize, that all this time she had only used me. There was no genuine friendship.
"I just remembered, you always approach men I like." Eve laughed bitterly. I really didn't expect that Emy had such a rotten heart all this time.
"Even during the school farewell party, you also humiliated me in front of my friends. It turns out that I was really stupid all along!" I laughed once more, laughing at the stupidity of my own life.
All eyes looked at me. Including Carlo, he had no idea that Emy and I were friends. And to make matters worse, Carlo was in over his head. He couldn't possibly cancel the contract marriage with me. Especially hearing that Emy wasn't a good friend.
"I understand now. This is the karma you have to pay, Emy. I won't let Mr. Carlo go. Not for a woman like you!" I said out loud. My face tightened, a flash of anger evident.
Hearing my statement, Emy's face instantly turned red, her temper flaring. She clenched her fists, "Then you're challenging your own death, you weakling!" Remember, you're just a useless human being, with no power whatsoever! Even you are the weakest people in this world and you arrogantly challenge me? I will show you how death is!" Emy growled, fine hairs began to appear on her body.
I instantly got goosebumps, this is the first time I've seen Emy change into a werewolf. Whereas before, Emy claimed to have not been able to control the werewolf in her. I took a few steps back, gulping my saliva quickly. Recalling how that horrible black werewolf chased me the other day.
"Are you scared, Daisy?" Emy grinned slyly. A flash of fiery red eyes was clearly visible exuding an aura of hatred, once again gulping down my saliva quickly. I was cornered and terrified, but my heart ached even more knowing that Emy had betrayed our friendship all along.
"Absolutely not! Even if you tear my body apart, it's nothing compared to the heartache I'm feeling right now." I assured myself with a defiant face. Emy snorted angrily, the black fur had already turned her into such a horrible werewolf. Meanwhile, Carlo's parents stared in awe at Emy's werewolf.Emy growled, she revealed her gleaming canine teeth and prepared to jump, tearing my body apart with her razor-sharp nails. The murderous aura was so strong, Carlo could clearly sniff it out.
"You have no right to harm my bride," Carlo said as he clung to my body. He created a shield of blue flames that surrounded us. His eyes turned a bright sapphire blue.
Emy was shocked by the reality before her eyes. She didn't expect that Carlo would protect me. "How could Mr. Carlo choose Daisy who is poor and has no power?" Emy was knocked down instantly, her strength weak. Gradually her body turned back into a normal human. She sat down limply.
After seeing Emy turn into an ordinary human. Carlo extinguished the blue flames. He released my body, which had been trembling in Carlo's arms.
"Damn it! I can't get carried away. The most important thing now is that I should be able to marry Mr. Carlo. Emy has to make up for the pain she inflicted on my heart!" I muttered to myself, and unconsciously clenched my fists tightly.
"My and Daisy Anderson's wedding is in two days. I hope you can approve of us. Especially you Emy! Realize, I don't love you. Even the werewolf inside me can't accept you as my Luna. Please, this is the last time you can interfere with my life." Carlo stared intently at Emy who was still sitting limply.
Emy's hands were clenched into fists, her veins popping out as if she wanted to come out and ensnare Carlo with her werewolf power.
"So far I've let you tear apart the women close to me, but not Daisy. This time I will protect her from your bad behavior," he continued, immediately pulling my hand out. Before leaving his parents' house, Carlo left our wedding invitation on the table.
"You b***h! You've even sold your body, right?" Emy shouted angrily, before Carlo and I stepped outside. She smiled slyly when she saw me turn to look at her.
"Why? Isn't that right? You sold your body to pay off all the debts of your drunken, gambling mother!" she continued, this time standing up. She grinned, revealing her cunning face.
I reflexively clenched my fists, my breathing was irregular, I wanted to slap Emy's face. Unconsciously, my eyes now turned a bright, burning orange color. Everyone looked surprised to see my eyes that suddenly changed color like a werewolf. In fact, Emy took a few steps back.
"You?" Carlo was also stunned, blinking several times, looking at me in disbelief.
