Helanie:
"Sydney, you are expelled with the ’worst student ever’ certificate," Maximus announced, while my eyes were on Penn, who was grabbing a weapon from the table on the side to follow Norman.
"Did we make a mistake? Why is your husband angry with us?" Jenny whispered in my ear, her anxiety peaking as she watched her brother with teary eyes.
"Let me deal with it," I grunted, giving Norman a look—but he didn’t even want to acknowledge me. It had to be something else.
I wanted to stand here and enjoy Sydney crying, but this husband of mine—the cheater, the liar, the heartbreaker—ruined it for me.
I began to quickly make my way towards Norman, causing Maximus to stop and look at me. Kaye snatched the black ink out of his hands and slapped it over Sydney’s face with a sharp jerk of his hand.
"This is what you deserve for hurting Helanie," Kaye hissed, not even caring that the students were watching him.
"But—why? Why am I being insulted?" Sydney cried, her face blackened. That kind of treatment was rarely given to any student—only when they had done something really bad.
But my steps stopped when Maximus explained her actions. fгeewebnovёl.com
"I found your personal diary. Not a very good secret keeper, huh? You wrote about how you wanted Rhiz to do the same thing to Helanie that she says he did before. You wanted Helanie to get in trouble when he confronted her in a locked room. You just didn’t expect Helanie to survive."
I stared at Sydney, who was now avoiding my eyes.
"But I was just saying—" she mumbled into her hands, not even lifting her face.
"Well, screw you, Sydney," I slapped the back of her head, and she moved her hands from her face to stare at me, shocked.
I had hoped no one would mess with me today—but of course, that wasn’t possible. So now I was angry and taking it out on everyone who messed with me.
"Come on. We’ll sign your resignation letters and then talk to your father. He’s coming over. Let’s tell him what a psycho his daughter is," Kaye said, signaling Sage to grab Sydney by the arm and take her to the office. Maximus followed but gave me a quick glance before leaving.
Maximus walked past me a little too close, close enough that his scent made me lose my mind. He smelled so damn good.
Now that everyone was out of sight and the students were dismissed, I was staring at Norman.
"Come on, Penn! What’s going on, didn’t you pick a weapon yet?" Norman looked over my shoulder to call for Penn, then scoffed, "I’ve never seen an alpha so weak."
I was standing right in front of him, and he was looking everywhere but at me, acting like I didn’t exist. I wished I hadn’t acted like an idiot last night. Now he wouldn’t even look at me. He probably won’t ever respect me again.
