Chapter 18

"You're here?" She asked.

"Answer me, that girl will soon win" He said coldly.

"Yes, please" She said and he pulled out the nail.

To the people staring at her, it looked like she was the one pulling it not knowing it's the shadow.

He touched the wound and it got healed immediately.

Her eyes widened and she smiled.

"Thanks" She said and stood and continued her run.

"She's back on the race" The commentator said and everyone screamed.

"Will she catch up to the rest?" He asked and she increased her pace.

She passed the two girls getting closer to Alexa. She passed Alexa and passed the finishing line.

"Woohoo!!!" Ashley screamed standing up.

Ariel smiled and fell to the ground. She pulled off her shoe and stared at her leg, she smiled when she didn't see the wound.

Alexa got to Ariel and pushed her to the ground.

She got on top of her and began slapping her.

It was unexpected so she couldn't fight back. She was only blocking the slaps.

"Get off me!!" Ariel yelled and slapped her hard.

Alexa fell to the ground and Ariel sat up staring at her.

"What's your deal?!!" Ariel yelled at her.

"My deal is that you cheated!!" Alexa yelled standing up.

"I mean you got injured but you still won. How?!!!" Alexa yelled.

"It's determination yunno. The nail didn't actually pierce through my leg. It only touched the surface and I was able to remove it. Did you forget I was wearing sneakers?!!" Ariel said and asked.

Alexa frowned before walking away.

"Ariel" Ashley called coming towards her. She squatted in front of her and held her face.

"Hi" Ariel replied with a small smile.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yes. I'm fine" Ariel said and Ashley smiled hugging her.

Ariel reciprocated and smiled when she remembered how the shadow helped her.

Alexa walked into the room angrily.

The room has been renovated and it's prettier than before.

"You won?" Andrea asked.

"No. Even after placing a nail on the ground. She still won" Alexa said.

"She's becoming too tough for us Andrea. We have to eliminate her soon" Alicia said.

"Dad is watching us. If we do kill her, what will he say?" Andrea asked.

"I have no idea. Dad is unpredictable" Alexa said.

"We'd kill her during the Halloween party. He won't know it's us." Andrea said.

"How?" Alicia asked.

"I have a plan" Andrea said and she told them the plan.

They chuckled darkly.

The figure walked into his lair and settled down breathing out heavily.

He remembered touching her leg and he smiled creepily.

"She has to become mine soon else I'd loose control" He mumbled and stood.

He walked into his room and stared at the board he placed on the wall.

The board was full with all of her unknown pictures from the day she joined Taylor at her house.

He picked one of the picture and stared intently at it. He touched the picture and frowned deeply.

It was a picture of her crying and he smirked when he remembered killing the person that caused those tears.

"Anyone who makes you cry again, will suffer hell before I kill them. Even if it's me" He said and kept the picture.

SATURDAY »★ HALLOWEEN PARTY »★

The hall was filled with orange balloons that had spooky faces on it. Another side was full with ghost balloons.

People were coming in wearing different costumes.

Andrea came into the hall wearing a princess gown and a tiara.

Alexa came into the hall wearing a witch costume.

Alicia came into the hall wearing a ghost costume.

Ashley came into the hall wearing a spider costume.

Logan came into the hall wearing a wolf costume.

Ashley got a glass of wine and gulped down a little.

"Hi" Logan said and she faced him.

"Hey"

"Where's Ariel?" He asked.

"I have no idea. But I know she'd be hear soon" She said and he nodded.

The door opened and the spot light turned on.

A pair of black boots and a pair of red high heels walked into the hall.

Conrad was putting on a black fitted T-shirt and a black jean. He was putting on a red and black cape.

His costume was that of a vampire.

Ariel was putting on a red dress and her hair was packed backwards in a bun.

Her costume was that of a vampire's wife.

"Look at how they're staring at us" Ariel mumbled.

"So?"

"Well, it's kinda nice buh...." She trailed off.

"But nothing. This is how you repay me. You're lucky I didn't ask for much" He said and she smiled.

Their hands were interlocked as they walked to Ashley.

"Hey" Ariel said biting her lips a little.

"You look hot" She said and she smiled.

"Thank you" Ariel replied.

"Can I take her away?" Ashley asked and Conrad stared at her for a while before letting go of Ariel's hand.

"Thanks" She said and took Ariel with her to the bar side.

"A glass of wine please" Ariel ordered and the bartender brought to her after a while.

"Thanks" She said and took a sip out of the drink.

"You both look good" She said.

"Yeah thanks"

"But why did you both wear similar outfits and why did you guys come together?" She asked.

"It's a way of repaying him after all the help he has given to me" Ariel said and took a sip from her drink.

"Ohhh I understand" Ashley said and gulped down her drink.

"He was the one who bought the dress though" Ariel said and Ashley smiled wiggling her brows.

"Don't tell me it's what am thinking" Ashley said and Ariel laughed taking another sip.

"It's not what you're thinking. The guy is a mystery" She said and Ashley smiled.

Ariel blinked when she started feeling dizzy and she frowned before standing up.

"I need to use the restroom, I'd be back" She said and Ashley nodded.

She walked out of there heading to the restroom only to stagger on the wall. She got hit pretty bad on the head and she fell to the ground loosing consciousness. Her head was bleeding badly as three guys came and carried her up taking her away through the back door.

★» CHEN'S COOPERATION »★

Taylor has been restless ever since she heard Gabriel was back.

"He shouldn't harm Ariel" That's what she has been muttering while working.

"Ma'am!" Her PA called and she flinched before looking up.

"What is it?!"

"I've been calling you for over 5 minutes now but you didn't reply. Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yes everything is fine. I just need some rest" Taylor said.

"Go and rest, I'd handle everything in the office" She said.

"You're sure?"

"Yes ma'am. Take the day off. I've cancelled all your appointments" She said and Taylor smiled.

"Thank you" She replied and stood arranging her things. She carried the needed items before leaving the company.

She got into her car and drove off immediately.

She got to her house and alighted from the car before going in.

She exhaled when she looked around the house.

A statement hit her hard.

"I can overcome everything Taylor. I'd be fine"

She sighed and went to have a shower. She wore her night gown and a rob before settling on the couch. She switched on the TV and began watching her favourite movie while stuffing her mouth with popcorn.

The door bell rang and she looked at the door.

"Who is it?" She asked but got no reply.

The door bell rang again and she frowned.

She stood and paused the show.

She walked to the door and peeped through the eye hole.

She frowned before opening the door.
