Chapter 12 TWELVE
ESTELLE
I screamed in pains, running around to grab anything to wipe my burning face and eyes.
The pain was too much.
It’s so hot!
“My face! Oh my face!” I cried, jumping and panicking. I couldn’t find anything to use.
“Estelle!” I heard Brielle’s voice in the background, but I couldn’t see her.
“What happened?”
“She has hurt herself. Quickly, open that door!”

I could still hear Brielle’s voice along with that maid. That’s when I felt someone’s hands holding me, directing me to somewhere.
“Careful, you might hurt yourself,” Brielle said close to my ear, leading the way.
She was the one holding me.
If not for the situation I was in, I would have tossed her aside like the rag she is, but at this moment I needed her help to see again.
I was being led like a blind woman, until I felt my head being dunked into what I believed to be water.
My head was being pushed into this water I couldn’t see, as I used my hands to wipe my soupy eyes with it.

“Is it out?” She asked, tilting her head to the side, like one who was under control.
My breathing had gotten heavy because of what she did.
She… She almost drowned me!
Raged, I stood right, yelling at her, ” Murderer! You tried to kill me!”
“Kill you?” She uttered, widening her eyes at
- me.
“Estelle, I was helping you out. You had soup in your eyes and all over your face. You were crying for help and I gave it to you. Now you say I’m trying to kill you?” Brielle said, finally showing an emotion. But that of innocence.
But I wasn’t buying that nonsense. I know

what she did.
“Don’t act so angelic, Brielle. You held me down and refused to allow me to stand up.”
“I was holding you from tripping into the bath tub. There’s a crack where you stood and I didn’t want you getting hurt again.””
“Liar! Stop lying, you bitch!” I shouted, approaching her in anger, and grabbing her head.
“Estelle! What are you doing?!” She called out in shock, trying to remove my hand from her hair.
“I’m going to give you a taste of your own medicine. Then we’ll see if you were saying the truth or not.”
“Estelle!”

Without hesitating, I forced Brielle’s head into the bath tub, dunking her head into the water, so she’d face the same thing I went through.
“How’s the water, Brielle? You can’t pull out? Is it your silly imaginary crack that’s preventing you from doing so?” I mocked, plunging her head in and out of the water, with my heart glowing with satisfaction.
But there was something I didn’t quite get.
Where is that strength from earlier?
I wanted to see it again.
Just as I was punishing Brielle for her actions, someone grabbed me off her, pushing me towards the wall, forcefully.

“AH!” I screamed, almost meeting the wall for a kiss. But I was swift to use my hands to support myself.
“Who is the moron that pushed me? Oh, it’s that maid. I’m going to make her…”
The moment I turned around to attack that disrespectful maid, I was shocked at once.
“Ar… Argon?”
The person who had tossed me aside was Argon himself. He held Brielle, who was coughing out weakly, glaring at me.
What is he doing here?
That’s when the maid showed up with an Oitmemt meant for my burns, but exclaimed on seeing Brielle coughing.

“What happened?” She asked in fear, rushing to meet and support Brielle.
I was shaken by Argon’s presence. His eyes shimmered red, darting straight at me.
I thought he was asleep?
I watched how Argon and the maid took Brielle out of the bathroom, ignoring my presence.
But not Argon.
He didn’t stop looking at me, delivering the nastiest gazd I’ve ever seen, while passing me, exiting the bathroom.
I was still in shock.
“How did he know I was here?” I trembled, following them from behind.

Both Argon and the maid helped Brielle to sit on the bed.
The one who tried to drown me, began to act as the victim here. She was shivering while being covered by a blanket.
And just then…
“Come here!” Argon grabbed my hand in a swift, storming out of the room with me.
His grip around my wrist was so tight, that it showed how angry he was.
I could already feel my heart pounding, as I called Argon’s name, trying to explain myself. “Argon, it wasn’t my fault. She was the one who tried to drown me in… AH!”
Argon threw me directly to a couch, cutting

me from explaining myself.
I lifted my eyes at him and found his eyes still glowing red at me.
His wolf is really mad.
“Are you crazy?! What were you doing in Brielle’s room at this time?!” He questioned, grabbing my arm roughly.
I winced at his hold, feeling it go tight around my arm.
“Argon, you’re hurting me, ” I cried, so he’d know.
“I’m hurting you? Estelle, you are the one who is trying to hurt me here by disobeying me.” He grabbed tighter, ignoring my cry.
“Despite what I told you, you still went to

Brielle’s room to attack her. Are you in your right senses? Where you blind when you saw her in bed, all weak? What is wrong with you?
Η
He shook me hard, pushing me back on the couch.
I was upset with the way he was treating me. For heaven sake, I am his soon to be wife! He shouldn’t be treating me like this because of that woman!
“Because you couldn’t get what you wanted, you went back to Brielle’s room to attack her again.”
“What? That’s not true!” I defended, rising to my feet.
“I didn’t go there to harm Brielle. I only went there to give her something to eat. She was

the one who poured the soup all over my face and tried to drown me.”
“You? Went to give her something to eat?”
“Yes,” I nodded.
Suddenly, Argon cackled at my response, clapping his hands for me.
This felt line a slap to my face.
“Can you hear yourself, Estelle? You that hate Brielle with so much passion, went to her room to feed her? Isn’t that enough to show you’re lying?”
“I am not lying. If you could suddenly have sympathy towards her over her sickness what makes you think I can’t?” I questioned, poking him.

But that only made Argon angry with me
even more.
He claimed he wasn’t being sympathetic with Brielle but only saving his reputation as the Alpha.
“I am trying my best to make sure nothing goes wrong for us, but you are doing the opposite.”
“Fine, let’s say you really wanted to give Brielle something to eat. Is it by this time and unannounced? You didn’t tell her maid you were coming, you just went in there.”
I frowned my face at Argon, who kept yelling and pointing accusing fingers at me.
“You entered her room unannounced and you think she would smile when she opens her eyes to see you? Her action was justified!

Just look at how red your face has turned.”
He pointed at my face.
It was still burning from the impact of that soup. I never thought an attack meant for my enemy would bounce back at me.
My beautiful face hurts.
“And yes, don’t tell me Brielle tried to drown you, because that woman doesn’t have the guts to do so. The maid told me all that happened and how she helped you into the bathroom to clean your face. She wasn’t trying to kill you, but you were.”
“Argon…”
“Enough,” He shunned me, facing his palm to my face.

“Thats enough, Estelle. I don’t want to see you around Brielle, until she’s strong again. As long as she’s sick, don’t go anywhere near her. Is that clear?” He ordered.
I wasn’t pleased with this. I wanted to defend myself, but grew weak at Argon’s raging wolf
eyes.
I lowered my head, submitting to his strong aura, promising to leave Brielle, until she’s well again.
“I’ve heard, I responded with a sad voice.
That’s when I heard Argon sigh out, before pulling me into his arms for an embrace.
He squeezed me tight, saying, “Estelle, just try to bear. I don’t want any problem to arise before we can be together. Just take your mind off that woman and focus on our future

ahead, okay?”
“Okay,” I muttered, wrapping my arms around Argon, just to feel him close.
My pounding and trembling heart came to rest. I no longer felt angry with Argon for trying to defend that orphan, but angry with the fact that I couldn’t exact my revenge on
her.
“Come with me. Let me rub some ointment on your face. You really got burnt,” He said, leading me back to his room.
I followed him from behind, but with a heavy heart.
I didn’t get what I want. Brielle is still looking all fresh while my face is burning here.
I can’t stand her anymore. I’ll exact my

revenge on her.
“I won’t forget this, Brielle. You still have to pay for causing an argument between me and my Argon. I will make you regret ever coming into our lives.””
