Mated To The Fairy Princess

The cryptic witch

Luna's POV

"Did you fall in love with Mark after getting into a relationship with Martin? Or.." I gasped.

I hoped it's not what I was thinking. She couldn't be that cruel right?.

"You are indeed smart. Yes your guess is right. I had fallen for Mark even before I said yes to that annoying Martin" Anna bursted out laughing.

I threw my head back in shock. What the heck! This means that she only got into a relationship with Martin because he was the easiest medium she could use to get close to Mark. This lady is a witch.

"So..so.. Martin is just a pawn in your game?" My voice cracked.

" Something like that." She shrugged, showing off her diastema.

" How could you be this evil?" I almost yelled.

"Don't you dare shout at me!" She warned. " If Mark had looked at my side for once, I wouldn't have been forced to use his poor friend. Besides, Martin should be lucky he got to date someone like me"

I clenched my fist as I stared at her with disgust. "You will pay for this, you daughter of a b***h"

"Easy baby girl, you don't have to be so dramatic. My fiance and my lover is waiting for me downstairs and I wouldn't want to keep them waiting. So, bye" She rolled her eyes at me and catwalked towards the door.

" What made you think I won't go downstairs now to tell Martin the truth about you?" I asked as soon as she was about to turn the door's knob and she stopped abruptly.She turned back to me.

"I know that you are smart enough to know that Martin would not believe you..I mean, which groom in the world would believe that the woman he is about to get married to in few days time is nothing but a cheat and a liar without an evidence? " Anna replied and walked out not after giving me that evil smirk.

I swallowed hard as I dragged my shivering legs to the couch and slumped on it.What should I do now?.

Poor Martin! He believes that he has finally found a woman who he would share his forever with. if only he knew that she is in love with another man; Not just another man but his best friend who has always been the ladies man and had snatched all the girls from him.

This is disastrous and could cause an enemity between the two friends. I can't let that happen. I have to resolve this issue really quick but how?.. how am I supposed to convince Martin to believe me?

I was still lost in my thoughts, when I felt a tap. I looked up to see Martin wearing a worried look. "What is wrong, Luna?" He asked.

"Huh? Nothing" I forced a smile.

"What do you mean by nothing? You didn't notice my presence when I entered the room and I have called you three times yet you didn't reply" he insisted, sitting beside me on the couch.

I hesitated, contemplating if I should tell him about Anna? But I wasn't sure if he would believe me. No.. I don't think he will believe me but there is no harm in trying right? Who knows, he might believe me.

"Luna.. Are you sure you are okay?"

I let out a deep breath. "Okay fine.I will tell you but promise me that you will try your best to believe whatever I will tell you now" I said staring into his eyes.

" Okay. What is it? You are scaring me"

" Do you know why Anna keeps on throwing herself at you? Why she smiles and always wants to be in your company? It is because she loves you.. Anna is in love with you" I dropped the bombshell.

He blinked his eyes. " You keep on saying that. What the heck is wrong with you? Anna is only a friend and nothing more"

" That is what you think but you are wrong. Anna loves you and she just confirmed it to me a while ago"

" What? "

" Yes.. she has always been in love with you all this while, even before she met Martin"

"Then why does she want to get married to Martin? "

" I don't know either but all i know is that she only agreed to date Martin because that is the only way she could get close to you"

He suddenly burst out laughing, hysterically. I stared at him, confused.

What was funny about what I said?

"Look. I know that you hate Anna because she is friendly with me and probably you are kinda jealous. But that doesn't mean you should come up with such a heinous accusations just to ruin her reputation" He said.

Jealous? Accusations? Me?

" Are you serious right now? Do you think I am that kind of person? Do you think I am that evil to suddenly wake up one day and create rumors about someone just to ruin their name? Is that how you see me? " I growled.

I don't know why but for some reasons I feel hurt that Mark choose to believe Anna over me.

"No.. no.. that is not what I mean.. I just"

I cut him off before he could complete the sentence "You don't have to explain anything. I already get your point; Anna is sweet and kind and I am the evil one here" I fired and stood up to leave.

I needed to clear my mind. I needed to leave this room and forget everything.

"Wait Luna" Mark held my arm. I stopped abruptly and turned to him. "What?"

"Where are you going to?" He asked.

"It is none of your business.. " I flinched off his hand and walked out.

I angrily stomped downstairs. I didn't know who I could go to but I know I needed someone to talk to or I would lose it.

Mirabel?. No! She is already sick and I would not like to bother her with my problems. And mum? If I should tell her, she might end up forcing me to come back home. And I don't want that.

Then who should I speak with?

Tanya! Yes. Tanya. We are now friends and I am sure she would believe me. I was still lost in my thoughts when I suddenly bumped into someone.

I looked up to see the angry face of the step witch; Sarah. Ugh! not now. Why do I keep on running into the bad guys today?

"Are you blind? Didn't you see me? " Sarah fired.

"I.. am sorry.. I didn't mean to bump into you" I stuttered.

" Can you stop acting? I am sure you did this just to get back at me" She whined.

" Think whatever you want to! But I am definitely not in the mood for this" I rolled my eyes and walked away.

I strolled down the street until I succumbed across a cab. I waved my hand and it stopped.

I pushed open the passenger's door and hopped in. "No 7, Jacobson street" I recited and the driver nooded and zoomed off. This was the exact address on the card given to me by Tanya.

After ten minutes drive, the car came to a halt at the front of Tanya's mansion. I stepped out and paid the driver. Thank goodness! I didn't use all the money given to me by Mr Peters for shopping.

I sauntered over to the mansion. I was about to knock on the door when I heard some arguments coming from the house.

"Why can't I go to the engagement party?"

"Because I said so" A male voice thundered.

"Huh? Because you said so? You must be kidding me. You attended a night club yesterday without taking permission from me, then why in the world do you think I would need your permission to attend my friend's engagement party? "

" Your friend or your secret lover?"

Looks like Tanya is arguing with her so called boyfriend.This was definitely the worst time to come visiting, I have to leave now. I haven't taken two steps when I suddenly heard a cry. I turned back abruptly. That was Tanya's voice.
