Lauren’s POV
I was gleefully and joyfully waiting for the news of Samantha’s death to spread across the city but there was still no news.
I checked the blogs and websites every moment to see what was making the headlines hoping it would be Samantha’s death but there was nothing as such and I was starting to get vexed.
She was supposed to be killed yesterday evening so I could not understand why there was no single news about her even getting injured.
I paced around the room, breathing heavily and raggedly with anger. I took a look at myself in the mirror, I looked so disorganized, the whole issue had taken a toll on me and I was not even having the time to dress up like I usually did, my eyes looked like they had drooped and my face seemed like it had aged even faster.
“Everything would be for with me as soon as Samantha is dead.” I said to myself and sighed softly, looking away from the mirror.
I did not so much want to see that version of myself.
My phone suddenly started ringing and I quickly rushed towards it, it was my dad calling. I gulped softly and hoped that there was nothing wrong and that he had not heard of whatever I was pulling off here.
I picked up the call after clearing my throat and tried to speak in my usual jovial manner.
“Hello Dad.”
“Hello Lauren, I see that you completely forgot about your handsome and sweet dad, you did not even place a call to me in weeks.” he replied me.
“I am… I am just a bit busy Dad, I would make sure I call you more from now on.” I replied him.
“Okay, so tell me, how is things going on?” He asked me.
“Nothing much, everything is going very well.” I replied him with a lie.
“That’s great then, just wanted to remind you that your dad is for you whenever you do need anything, just tell me about it and if you are thinking about something also, then you should just talk to me about it.” he replied me.
“Of course dad, you very well know you are my best buddy, I would tell you everything that you need to know Dad.” I said to him.
“Great. I would trust you to take good care of yourself.”
“Sure dad.” I said and he ended the call.
I just hoped that he did not suspect anything from my tone.
My phone rang again just as I dropped it and I wanted to groan, thinking that it was Dad calling me again.
I halted for a moment when my eyes took in the ID of the caller, it was no one but my partner in crime.
My lips curled up in a smirk as I picked up the call and took the phone to my ears.
“Hello, how is things going?” I asked him immediately I picked up the call.
“Failed.” he replied and I felt a stream of rage and anger flow through my blood.
“How did that happen? Remember our deal, I help you and you help me eliminate Samantha.” I reminded him.
“It is going to get done in few days, she was almost taken down but then Kayden stepped in just at that moment, my man could do nothing with Kayden in the picture.” he said and I slammed my fist on the hard table.
“But good news, my man was able to watch the both of them and they had a huge fight in the middle of the road.” he added but I just hissed.
“I do not want them to fight, couples do fight! I want Samantha dead!” I seethed.
“I would make sure that happens very soon, be rest assured, this time around, I will make sure that nothing goes wrong this time around and your Kayden you would not be at the scene at the moment to rescue her.” he replied.
“You’d better do that! Because I so much hate the fact that the bitch is still alive! I just so much hate it!” I said and ended the call in a fit.
I was expecting the news of her death and not the news of her just getting into a random fight with Kayden.
I fumed angrily, paced around the room and opened the closet. Perhaps going to grab a drink would be the best thing I can do right now, I just want to be clear headed for a moment, take drinks and forget about that stupid girl that is the source of all my sadness and all that is happening to me.
I pulled out a short and yet beautiful black gown, I dumped it on the bed and picked a black heels to match the gown. I stripped off my clothes and headed to the bathroom.
I spent rather a lot of time in the bathroom, trying to get the water to cool my head but I knew that would not work, bathing never did succeed in calming me down unlike Kayden who would always claim that it helps him a lot.
I finished bathing, sat before my mirror and began creaming up my body. I spent some time on it, staring at my skin in the mirror, it looked better after I had taken the bath.
Just come to think of it, I know everything about Kayden, I know who he is, I know what makes him infuriated, I know his best food, his best color, I know everything about him and it is just so impossible that Samantha knows as much as I do.
And still yet again, I could not understand why in the world Kayden rejects me and takes that unworthy mate of his into his life.
I removed the towel and dressed up in the clothes that I had picked up earlier.
I took a quick look into the mirror and I looked beautiful enough, I smiled into the mirror, a fake smile that I had forced myself to.
I exited my room, grabbed my keys that were in the living room. I got to my car, got in and drove off to the nearest bar.
I stepped into the bar and moved to the counter immediately, I immediately requested for drinks and began to drink when a guy tapped my shoulder.
I looked back and saw a strange face.
“Who are you?” I asked him.
“I am Charles, and I was thinking if we could both have fun.” he said with a cheeky smile.
“No, I am fine on my own.” I replied him waving my hands..
“Why should such a beautiful lady drink all alone?” He asked and I groaned at his questions.
I did not want to be questioned, I simply wanted to drink and clear my head.
“You can leave now.” I groaned and he tried to touch me but my glares were enough to let him withdraw his hands reluctantly.
“I would just leave then but if you need me, I would be around.” he added and walked away.
I rolled my eyes. Me? Need him? For what?
I continued drinking on my own when a scent filled my nose, a smell that I could recognize anywhere, my wolf side did a small, excited dance inside of me.
I turned towards the direction and my eyes met with his,….. My rejected mate!
