My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 40

~AMIERA

Igroan aloud and squeeze my temples in pain. Why does my head hurt so much? I open my eyes and see that I’m in my room. What time was it?

Tunlock my phone and am surprised to see hundreds of messages. What the hell happened last night?

My eyes are glued to the screen when a video of me pops up on my account. All of the events from the night before hit me all at once, and my eyes widens in horror.

I couldn’t believe that my love confession was taped and posted for every single person to see. How embarrassing was this? There was also the fact that my power released itself

without my command, I had no control over it yesterday, and Adam was the only reason others

weren’t hurt because of my carelessness.

Was this what the fire inside of me was scared of? During one of our training days, confessed to Adam why the flames refused to leave my body. It was because of my own fear of what will happen the moment that they did. What would have happened if Adam was not there to control the fire? To stop me from burning the whole place and everyone in it alive?

I stare at the video in horror. Everything I’d said to Adam last night had been recorded; not one thing was left out. It wasn’t just my fire outburst; now, everyone knew that I was in love with Adam, which meant everyone knew about our past relationship.

Which also meant that my parents already knew the truth. I was terrified of what would happen the moment that they confronted me about this.

My heart drops when there is a knock on the door. I’m frightened as they walk into the

room with my sister right behind.

From the look on their faces, they have already seen the video, just like I anticipated.

There is no running away from this now; there are no more lies; the truth is out in the open. Everyone knows now that I love Adam, that we had a secret relationship.

The same thing I tried had to avoid had now blown up in my face.

“How are you feeling?” my mother asks me.

It’s not the question I was expecting to hear, but I do prefer it over the question I know that they are itching to ask.

“I have a terrible headache; other than that, I feel okay.”

My mother looks at my father, and I feel my heart rate increase; I know that it’s coming even before they say anything.

trying hard to be calm with me after what happened to me last night.

“Nothing,” I say because it’s the truth; nothing is happening between us, at least not

anymore.

“So then, what is this video circulating with you claiming that you love him?” my mother demands. “You were not only drunk, but you were also screaming at the top of your lungs and announcing to the world that you’re in love with a dark whisperer and not just any dark whisperer, the most dangerous of their kind. How can you explain this, Amiera?”

My body is trembling from the confrontation, and it’s hard to keep my emotions in check, “| can’t explain it. He was there for me when no one else was. He believed in me; he was the only one that saw me as the flaming whisperer. He’s the reason that my power has finally been released. I fell in love with the Adam that did all of these things for me, only to find out that he never existed to begin with. Everything was his plan to get me to trust him; he didn’t believe in me as I thought; he already knew that I was the flaming whisperer. He knew it long before anyone of us did. But even after finding all of this out, my love for him never stopped because it wasn’t fake like his affection towards me. My feelings were true, and I couldn’t just ignore them. I have to face those feelings head-on; I need to accept them; it’s the only way that I can heal from the hurt I feel inside from being betrayed yet again by someone I love.”

“How can you fall in love with a dark whisperer?” my father demands. “Have we not taught you better than this, Amiera? There are so many men out there; why did you have to fall for a man that’s as evil as he is?”

“It doesn’t matter anymore,” I shout with tears streaming down my face. “It doesn’t matter if I love him; he doesn’t love me, and he isn’t going to pursue me, so you have nothing to worry

about.”

“Do you really think it’s going to be that easy?” my father demands. “Are you that gullible? Adam will not let you go that easily, he wanted something from you since the beginning, and he isn’t going to stop until he gets it from you. In case you haven’t realized Amiera, your life is now in danger.”

I’ve never felt like my life was in danger whenever I was around Adam, but I don’t tell this to my parents; they won’t believe me. My heart has always been in trouble, but other than that, I couldn’t see him physically hurting me. Of course, I can be wrong about that too just like I was wrong about him having feelings for me.

“It’s not only my life in danger,” I tell him. “Everyone is in danger as long as Adam

over the world. I’ve already pledged to give my life to make sure that it doesn’t happen.”

“This isn’t a simple matter anymore,” my mother tells me. “The elders are now getting involved. That video was a cause of concern for everyone. Not only did your power show dangerous signs since you couldn’t control it, but the relationship between you and Adam can also be considered forbidden. It should have never happened. A meeting will be held, and a decision will be made. We may have to remove you from school, or Adam may be removed. Nothing is decided as yet, but you two can no longer be near each other again.”

Hearing my mother say this makes the hole in my heart bigger. Even though I know that it’s for the best, I’m not sure that my heart can take not being able to see him at all.

And then I realize something, something that I should have noticed long before now. The blood leaves my face as I begin to search the room for any signs of my brother.

“Where is Noah?” I demand. I knew my brother; he wouldn’t take this lightly. He wouldn’t be able to accept that a dark whisperer had a relationship with his sister and hurt her.

My parents look away from me, and I jump out of bed to face my sister, “please tell me.. Where is he? Where is Noah?”

“He went to school… To have a talk Adam.”
