Yelena: Scarred, Haunted by her nightmares, and completely alone. Domenico: Powerful, Boss of the underworld, and Possessive of one person. They met back in high school and almost fell in love when Yelena was betrayed by Dom so she ran away for two years. Dom didn't stop looking for her until he found her and he discovered a way to keep her his forever, he asked his father to make an arranged marriage between their families to avoid wars and blood. "I was wondering when you'd show up." pausing for a second to turn around she continued "Dom." "Hello, Sweetheart."
"Earth to Yelena, are you there?" Mia's voice brought her back to reality.
the reality that her life is miserable, the reality that she'll need to find a new job soon, the reality of dealing with this stupid high school.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" She asked as she looked at her suspiciously before she asked "What is it this time?"
Yelena let out a long sigh as people started passing by her while throwing some words like: hey, freak - how's it going scar?
Yes, you heard right, she's the school's punching bag, all that because of a goddamn accident that earned her a very long scar on her right cheek and ever since that day her name was gone and replaced by freak, Scar, hell even some of them call her a monster.
"What do you think happened? I got kicked out of another job, " she explained when she heard Helen's Voice behind her asking "Why?" so she turned around and hugged her when she saw her arms wide open.
Helen and Mia are the only people who weren't freaked out by her, they're childhood friends also they know everything about Yelena so they understand her better than anyone, even more than her idiot of a mother who she lives with.
"I don't assume anyone would like to have a freak working for them do they?" She asked sarcastically as they both shared a look then Helen said "Yel, why do you have to work when you're the daughter of a wealthy man who also is a part of the biggest 5 families here, "
"I don't want to talk about this, " she said and started to walk away but they both stood in front of her as a shield and Mia said, "Yelena, why are you choosing the miserable life over the good one?" Her words made Yelena's mind drift away to a memory she wish not to remember.
'3 Months Ago'
"Mom, Mom, where are you?" Yelena yelled as she was placing her bag on the floor, she started to check all the rooms until she found the bathroom in her Mom's room open and there was no sound inside so she went to check it out.
"Ahhh, " she let out a scream as soon as she entered it, there was blood all around Nora which was coming out from her wrist. Yelena knelt down beside her and checked her pulse, and thank God it was there... she tried to commit suicide.
She took out her phone as tears ran down her face and called 911.
"911, what's your emergency?" She heard the woman ask and then immediately answered "I need an ambulance to Nora Pattinson's house, we have a suicide attempt, " after the woman told her that the ambulance will arrive soon, she took a towel and wrapped it around her Mom's wrist in a failed attempt to stop the bleeding as she cried beside her.
After 10 minutes the ambulance arrived and Yelena went with them and right now she was sitting beside her Mom's bed as the doctor checked on her.
"she'll be okay, right?" She asked as her voice shook.
"Yes, yes she'll be fine, " he said then looked at Nora and continued "you're lucky miss Pattinson, you have a very brave daughter if it wasn't for her attempts to stop the bleeding a lot of bad things would've happened, " Nora looked at her daughter then looked back to the doctor and said "yes, I really am Lucky, "
The doctor left the room and she turned to her Mom, her eyes were burning from so much crying as she asked "why did you do this Mom?" Her voice was barely a whisper and she started crying as well.
"you were going to leave me and go live with your Dad, I can't handle living without you, " She explained with a shaky voice and she shook her head and said "Mom I would never have left you, but you know what, I'm staying with you Dad can manage on his own, "
'Present '
And guess what? she didn't try to do that for her, because she loved her, she only did it so that she won't go with her Dad so that she could hurt him and now she's stuck with her forever.
"Just let it go, now come on we have a class to attend, " Yelena said and walked ahead of them as she used her long blonde hair to cover up her scar.
She entered the classroom and went immediately to her desk at the back of the class as Mia sat in front of her and Helen on the desk beside me, it's like they're making a shielded ball so that no one would bother her.
No one such as Rina and her bimbos who hang on either side of her like medals and speak of the devil, here she comes with Caity and Cynthia on her left and right.
Great, she's coming her way and she can recognize how she looks at her which means she's going to insult Yelena in front of the whole class.
"Hey, Freak, did you enjoy your weekend?" she asked sarcastically and Yelena took a deep breath, trying to stop herself from slamming her head to the table but the bitch didn't know when to stop.
"oh right, you can't because no one would like to see a scarred freaky girl, " Rina said and Yelena stood up so I'm on the same level as she is because Enough is Enough.
"Well, at least a scarred freak is still original, not a stiff plastic manikin who is nothing but a fraud and all of that just to make the world accept her, " Yelena burst out and saw her expression which was a mix, anger, embarrassment, fear. She had no idea but she liked what she saw. Wait no... She didn't just like it, she fucking loved it.
Yelena saw her raise her hand to hit her but she was faster and slapped her right on her face which now was on the other side as she held her cheek with her hand and looked at her with the biggest look of surprise she have ever seen on her face as she ran out out the room while the bimbos followed her as well.
"Anyone would like to say something to the freak?" She screamed so that the whole class would hear her and she saw all of them turn away and avoid her gaze and as she was sitting down she made eye contact with the one person she didn't want to look at.
Domenico Accardi, The alpha male of the school, no one dares to cross him, and even if they do, his group will be there making whoever it is, pay the price for crossing him.
Lorenzo, Alessio, and Lucio, from the beginning of her life, she only sees them around him glaring at every single person who even thinks about getting close to him.
Right now he's staring at her after what she has done to his whore but he doesn't look pissed or rather there is no expression on his face, his face is just blank.
But before she had the chance to look away her name was called by the principal "Yelena Gallo, come to my office now, your father is already there, " Great, her father is here and she's not frustrated because of him, he always understood her, the problem was always... Her Mom, she'll be mad because Yelena is destroying her public image.
Yelena looked at Mia who was trying to reassure her then went out of the classroom but she could still feel his gaze was on me.
When she arrived at the office, her father was already arguing with the Secretary but stopped as he saw his daughter step in and close the door and she's sure he could see that she reached her limit because of what happened.
"Sweetheart, what happened?" Her Dad asked as he came to her and put his hands on both of her cheeks as he made her look at him and brutal honesty... She has never felt better in her life because she can see that someone other than Mia and Helen does care about her.
Yelena looked at Rina who had her mother beside her then looked at Carlo again and said "she started saying things about me and my..." She stopped and pointed to her scar and he turned around so he's facing the principal.
And she could see the anger in her father's eyes. I guess that's the benefit of being the miracle daughter to your parents... well at least one parent.
"You called me here, making me think that my daughter is the problem while the only problem is that you can't control your students, " Carlo screamed at the principal and she could see students through the little window on the door watching them from outside but her father didn't even care as he continued "Next time, know where the problem is before blaming my daughter, understand?" and she can feel the threat and venom drip from every single word he said.
"Yes, Mr.Gallo, " The principal said and Carlo turned around to her with a wide smile on his face as he said "let's go home Princess, I'm sure you're tired, "
They went out of the room as students and teachers were watching them. The good thing is Mia grabbed her bag from the class and handed it to her. Yelena hugged her goodbye then started walking out of the school beside her Dad but before she entered their SUV. She once again made eye contact with Domenico who was eyeing her suspiciously this time and she's sure this look won't bring her any good.
