I stood outside his study with my jaw clenched and anger bubbling in my veins. How dare he let her inside his study and even close the door?
She is definitely trying to steal his attention, and he is letting her do that. I knocked on the door, and soon he called me inside. As soon as I entered the study, I caught him telling her
about his collection of books.
“I like how aesthetic it is,” she complimented, nodding her head as if she understood everything. I felt dumb in front of
her.
“You like the vibe?” he asked, feeling super confident now that she kept complimenting him.
“Yes, I do. But I do think reading your favorite book in a park where there are not many distractions is very healthy. Imagine we go on a picnic and, after spending some quality time, we just sit and read. Actually, there’s something funny I’ve always dreamed about,” she said, giggling slightly as she ran her hand through her green hair.
“What is that?” Akin shoved his hands in his pockets, raising his coat from the sides as he did that.
“I always imagined my mate resting his head in my lap while I read him his favorite book,” she whispered, zoning out and passing a sweet smile at the same time.
“Reality is way more bitter than that. We can all dream about things, but that doesn’t mean we’ll get them,” I purposefully interrupted them. She was clearly trying to woo him, and he was falling for her cute little actions.

“That’s why I like to dream a lot. The sad reality of the world has made us bitter.” She turned to me and addressed me this time. She was sitting in a chair with her legs drawn closer to her chest. I could tell she was giving the impression of a simple and gullible girl, but there was more behind her green eyes than she was showing us.
I just knew.

“I love how positive you are,” Akin complimented her. It felt like he wanted to compare us and made it super clear, too, that he thought she was positive.
“Says the one who is so negative himself,” Jealousy caused me to say that. Akin tilted his head toward me and kept glaring at me until I looked away.
“I’ll go get your medicines for you,” Akin said after deciding to ignore my comment. She gave him a smile and watched him leave us in the study alone.
The air turned super chilly and awkward, with us silently staring away and passing each other a quick glance here and there.
“Beatrice! That is a sweet name,” she whispered, giving me a smile more innocent than anything in the world.
“You are their little sister, right?” she spoke, still carrying the smile on her lips.
“I am not their sister,” I retorted immediately. Did you get the book you came here for?” I put my notebook down and folded my arms over my chest.

“Oh no. I didn’t come here to fetch a book. Akin wanted to show me around.” She hugged her legs, bringing her knees even closer to her chest.
“Oh! Well, now that you’ve seen the study, you can leave. Go stay in your room,” I ordered, looking at her without returning
a smile.
“Excuse me?” she exclaimed, thinking I was joking with her.
“You heard me. Go! I am here to study with him. You will distract us,” I muttered, and the smile from her lips faded away quickly. She looked awkward and probably embarrassed.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” she quickly said as she put her feet down and rose to her feet.
“Now you do. So leave!” I don’t know what got into me, but I spoke very harshly to her. It was just that I wasn’t too subtle when it came to my feelings. Once I am alone, I express my feelings clearly through my words and actions.
I just didn’t like her vibe.
“Okay!” She nodded and was about to sprint in the door’s direction when she stopped and held her hand to her head.
“What happened?” I asked, a little confused.

“–” she stuttered, her voice broke when she tried to speak again, “I a—m–” she closed her eyes and her body rocked. Maybe she lost her balance because, in the next second, she collapsed on the floor and passed out.
“W—,” I was about to reach her when Akin stormed inside
