Chapter 30: Who did this?
"Nobody believed you, not even your own mother," she taunted relentlessly as another laughter left her lips, her words were like sharp daggers piercing through my chest.
"That’s fine. At least I believe in my own art capabilities and I don’t have to resort to doing such things to try and win," I snapped back in response and saw the way her face contorted into an angry expression within the next second.
"You bitch!" She yelled as the smug look that was once plastered across her face was replaced by an angry expression. She narrowed her eyes into thin slits and raised her hand, wanting to slap me across my face.
But I quickly caught her wrist in my hand and my blood was smeared against her skin as I grabbed her with my injured hand without thinking too much. I was too consumed by the anger to even think about the pain that was coursing through my body from the way I pressed onto the wound.
"Nice try," I retorted in a sarcastic tone before releasing my grip on her arm, letting it drop back to her side.
"Ugh!" She exclaimed, scrunching her nose up in pure disgust. "You got your blood all over my hand! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
As if on cue, Natalie and James came running out and their eyes widened in horror when they saw the bright red blood that stained their daughter’s arm.
"Eve! What happened? Is everything okay?" Her mother quickly asked, worry and concern evident in her voice.
"Did Aurelia do this to you? Aurelia, you get back here right now!" Her father demanded through gritted teeth but I ignored everyone as I continued to walk ahead until I disappeared out of their sight.
I reached for my phone and called the first person that popped into my mind.
"Hey, what’s up?" He greeted, hearing his voice helped to ease my racing heart. "My meeting is about to start in 5 minutes."
