Chapter six


    Elena’s pov


    I gave my pillow a few good whacks on the bed.


    “OMG, what the heck went down at school today?” Ever since I distanced myself from Mac, that whole situation has been reying in my mind.


    I can’t seem to shake off the memory of his scent when he pulled me close. It’s like it’s stuck in my head. It’s crazy how I liked it.


    But the fact that he pushed me to the floor made my heart sink for an unknown reason. I couldn’t have expected anything less from my bully but why did it affect me so much now? “I can’t seem to understand myself”


    Ughhh… I’m so frustrated! I tried distracting myself by reading a book, but the incident kept reying in my mind.


    Does he use the same tactics to seduce other women? I clenched my teeth and stormed out of my room.


    As I walked into the living room, I spotted my mom chatting away on the phone,ughing without a care in the world.


    We used to have such a close bond. It felt like we were best friends, not just mother and daughter.


    We used to do everything together; We went to cinemas together, joked together, even attended parties together, and had a st while doing so …. it was just so sweet being with her as we have been living together since I  was young.


    but ever since I caught her having se*x with my ex-boyfriend, I couldn’t bring myself to forgive her anymore and it shattered our rtionship.


    Even though I swore to forget about my ex and cut ties with him, my mom’s presence triggered painful memories and intensified my resentment. She betrayed me.


    I headed towards the kitchen and grabbed a couple of apples for a quick snack. As I made my way back to my room, I heard my mom calling out my name. “Elena!” She called then paused.


    I gave her a cold stare and asked, “What do you need from me?”


    She stood up and let out a sigh, saying, “You’ll never forgive me, huh?”, “dear, I already told you I am a changed person” she added.


    “I’ll forgive you when pigs start flying and unicorns roam the Earth,” I sarcastically retorted, my expression devoid of emotion.


    She had a smirk on her face as she averted her gaze. Stepping closer, she asked, “You think I don’t regret what I did?”


    “Fine, whatever. So why are we even having this conversation?” I questioned, feeling frustrated and confused.  And just so you know “I’m not falling for your emotional maniption,” I responded, seeing through her attempt to guilt me.


    “Look, disagreements happen, and we need to find a way to forgive each other, right? I messed up, I know it, and it was just a one-time mistake… Can you forgive me, please?” my mother pleaded.


    “See,” I showed her the dish with the two apples, “I went to the kitchen for a snack. If you’ll excuse me!” I was about to leave when she interrupted me once more.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Was your boyfriend telling the truth?,  or I mean your ex, was he telling the truth when he said that? Are you dating a guy called Mac now?” she inquired.


    “Oh, I see! So you had a motive behind bringing up this whole ‘forgive me’ conversation! Well, guess what? Mac is indeed my boyfriend,” I responded with a touch of pretentiousness.


    “Why? Is there an issue with that?” I replied, matching thenguage of the previous statement.


    With a sarcastic grin, shemented, “My daughter is such a fool. A massive fool. Are you too dense to realize that Mac nevermits to a real rtionship? He just uses and discards girls. Do you want to be his next victim?”


    “Why are you pretending to care about me, Mother?” I replied, echoing her tone.


    “I can’t trust someone who slept with my boyfriend and caused our breakup to care about me. But guess what? I know exactly how Mac operates, and I don’t give a damn. He’s my boyfriend, and that’s all that matters. Now, excuse me,” I stated before walking away from her.


    She called my name twice, but Ipletely ignored her.


    Honestly, it stings even more that I held onto resentment towards my mom, but that’s just how things turned out.


    In my heart, I still had love for her and longed for us to be like we were before, but it’s a tangled mess. The whole situation was so awful andpletely shattered me.


    Mac’s pov


    I stormed into my spacious house and headed straight for my room. I let my backpack fall to the ground and made my way towards the wall.


    Arge cardboard box with the names of all the girls in my school was attached to the left side of my wall. They were arranged neatly. I mark them as “done” after fu*ck*ing them.


    I checked my list and there she was, Elena, the next girl on my list.


    “Whoo, What a crazy coincidence!”


    She would be the target on my list even if I had not already made a bet with Alex about her, and I am eager to include her in my bet and seed.


    As I headed to the bathroom, Elena’s name popped into my head, and I couldn’t help but wonder why I was suddenly thinking about her.


    I mean, there is no reason why I should be experiencing such stupid feelings for someone like her.


    It’s not my usual style, but I can’t deny that those feelings are still lingering.


    I couldn’t help but wish that she was just a nerdy girl instead of being so beautiful.


    After enjoying a rxing bath, I settled on my bed and brainstormed strategies to win Elena’s heart.


    “If I want to win her over and spend a night with her then I would have to first of all reduce the way I bullied her.:  I taught


    I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I eventually drifted off to sleep.
