🌀🌀BELLE POV
***
What! Me? How??

I stared at Lincoln but he wasn’t looking like he could help me,I sighed and force my legs to move to the stage.

I was feeling so nervous,my heart beat was now faster..

I didn’t like this game!!

“Truth or dare,beauty?”.The Emcee asked but it took some time before I answered.

“Uh..dare”.I didn’t know why I said dare,I wasn’t even familiar with the game and so,I didn’t know what to choose but I had this feeling that I shouldn’t had chosen dare.

“Yours is quite difficult, miss”.The Emcee said and I gulped in nervously. “You will have to drink seven bottles of beer”.

Gasps around the crowd and I felt shocked but I didn’t know what to do.

A half filled crate of beer was brought into the stage by no other person by Tripp.

What!!

I almost scre-med as I glared at him but guess what..the fool was smirking showing off his brownish teeth.

Oh! This must be a plan, why didn’t I think of this? I wanted to go out of the house but I didn’t want to be regarded as a weakling.

“Come on,beauty.Ya wasting our time”.The Emcee said and the crowd began murmuring.

“Just seven bottles of beer? Just seven bottles and she is there standing like a pole!”.I heard a masculine voice from the crowd.

“What’s wrong with her? She is wasting our precious time”.I heard another voice.

“Gosh! My grannie can even finish seven bottles of beer within a minute but she..she is finding it hærd to drink one bottle”.The person boasted.

“She is just a weakling”.

Weakling??

I scre-med in,side myself angrily as bad memories replayed in my mind.

“I can’t love you,Belle.The reason is because..you’re just a weakling”.

“I need a strong wife not a weakling like you”.

“Do you want to know why I keep hitting you? The reason is because you cry..your cries irritate me,it shows me how weak and useless you are”.

“With you as my wife,my kingdom will turn from a kingdom of warriors to a kingdom of crybabies and weaklings”.

“I hate you Belle,keep that in mind but do you want to know why I wanna marry you? Well,the reason is because you are very beautiful,your body is wow.Am getting married to your body,weakling”.

“And don’t stare at me like if am some sort of wizard,you should be grateful that am getting married to a weakling like you.No prince would want to marry you and the awful reason is because…you are just a weakling”.

His laughter filled my ears and I gasped loudly with tears clouding my vision.

Oh,Gary! I hate you more than you can ever imagine. You are not only a monster but you are stinking dirty brat which everyone must avoid.

And do you know the thing I regret doing to you?

I regret not ripping out your dark heart and eating it raw before your very own lifeless eyes.

I regret not making you die a painful death.I regret not telling you how much of a weakling you are for getting killed by a woman who you regarded as a weakling.

But I hope you rot in hell forever..

**
I grab one of the beer bottles and thanks fully it was already uncapped.

Hmm..it seems like Tripp and his friends came prepared for this.

I lifted the bottle close my l-ips before gulping all of it in my mouth down to my stomach.

It tasted watery but it kinda made me feel a bit dizzy.

Now to the second bottle..

I took it into my mouth and drank all of it.I did same to four more bottles and now..it was remaining the last.

I tried to take the last bottle on my palm but an uncontrollable force hit me and I staggered away.

I was drunk,I could feel it..

I went back to the last bottle and this time I succeeded in taking the bottle on my palm before gulping all of it.

I could faintly hear cheers coming from the crowd and soon enough,I fell on the floor.

“Bel,are you okay?”.Even though I could hear faintly,I could recognize that to be Lin’s voice.

“Am fi..ne just…diz..zy”.I slurred.I felt like puking and when I couldn’t control the urge anymore, I puked on my clothes.

“Gross Bel,you need to take a bath.Your breath reeked of beer”.He said but his voice was fading, I felt like sleeping.

He carried me on his arms when he realized I couldn’t walk properly and I was busy smiling like a baby.

He dropped me at a place I couldn’t see probably but then a heard some drops of water falling on me.

“You have to take off your clothes,Bel.I will go find some clothes for you while you take your bath”.He said and I heard the door shutting.

I close my eyes and fell asleep not even remembering what he told me to do.

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV
***
I frowned as I searched for clothes. Gosh! I can’t believe Belle drank seven bottles of beer, I can’t even finish one bottle and now she must be feeling so dizzy..

Poor Belle!

I tried to take her away from the stage but some stupid boys blocked my way telling me that it was against the rule.

I had to keep calm and watch her drink the beers but damn..I felt my heart pierced when people murmured against her.

I sighed and finally found some clothes for Belle but on my way back to the bathroom I kept her,I bumped into someone.

Hold on! Samantha??

What is she doing here?

“Lincoln,how are you?”.She croaked and scratched her head.She looked nervous..

“Get out my way”.I said a bit loudly.She was actually blocking my way..

“You don’t have to shout Lin,you could have said it politely without raising your voice”.She scoffed.

“Then teach me how to talk politely without raising your own voice on me”.I said and her face turned into a frown.

“Really Lincoln? Did you hear me raise my voice on you?”.Her frown got deeper..

“Of course you did and you didn’t realize it because it has already become a habit of yours”.I said and her face crumbled but she quickly replaced it with a smirk.

“Oh Lincoln, that was rude.I guess your mum didn’t teach you some manners”.She laughed and I sighed heavily, feeling a huge pain on my chest.

Darn it,Samantha! You will pay for that..

“You know what? Talking to a chimpanzee is a lot better than talking to a ugly chick like you”.I said and her eyes turn red,she was angry. “And besides,you should leave my way, you are delaying me”.

She refused with a smirk glaring at me angrily and when I couldn’t take it anymore,I pushed her and she fell with a thug on the floor.

“You will pay for this Lincoln”.She scre-med and I chuckled,heading to the bathroom I kept Belle.

But when I got there,I was shocked not to see Belle in the bathroom.Where did she go to?

I began searching everywhere for her,I searched and searched but I couldn’t see her.

Oh my geez! Belle,where the hell did you go to? Damn! I was going crazy!

I decided to check the only room I haven’t checked but when I did,I saw shocked to saw Belle on a bed and a man was…on top of her.

What the heck!!

I rushed to the man ready to thunder punches on his face but someone beat me to it.

Someone pushed the man away from Belle.

“Leave her alone!”.The person yelled angrily and I was surprised realizing that the person was…Timothy!

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV
***
I stare at timothy before I took Belle in my arms and then I left the party.I still felt shocked!

Why did Timothy help me? It’s not like I needed his help but he supported me.Why did he do that,huh?

I placed Belle on her bed after I got home before I turned on the shower.She was still on her clothes,she needs to change.

I took her to the bathroom and thought of taking off her clothes but that will be wrong to do without her permission.

So,I decided to call one of my female neighbors to take off her clothes and bath her and she did that perfectly well before going away.

I watched Belle sleep peacefully on the bed and I smiled sadly. She would have a huge handover when she wakes up,I just hope she will be fine..

🌇The Next Morning
***
I finished making the hot soup I prepared for Belle before taking it to her room.She woke up few minutes ago and she complained that her head was aching her badly same as her stomach.

I walked into her room and saw her taking her medicines, I bought them for her.

“Hey,are you fine now?”.I asked but she shook her head slowly.

“A bit though but why can’t I remember what happened last night,huh? I only remember that you took me in your arms away from the stage”.She said and I smiled before handing her the soup.

“You need to rest and stop talking, that might increase the pain you are feeling in your head”.I said and she nodded before taking a sip of the soup.

I watched her eat and after sometime, I took the used plate to the kitchen before washing it.Then I went to my room and bathed before dressing up.

I was paid my salary yesterday and now I can get some things for Belle but maybe not today.

I walked to her room and saw her operating her phone.

“Bye Belle”.I said to her before going to work.

I sighed recalling last night and the memories of when Timothy pushed the man away from Belle flashed in my mind.

What did he do that?

I thought but then I saw mum..What the hell?? She wasn’t alone,she was talking to a man and her hands were wrapped around his neck.

I didn’t want to go meet her so I continued walking but I stopped when I heard her call him “My husband”.

🌀🌀SAMANTHA POV
***
“How did the plan fail, huh? I paid you guys hundred dollars, isn’t that too much? But the same thing keeps happening again,why?”.I roared,glaring angrily at the T boys.

I had intentionally delayed Lincoln from going to the bathroom so that the T boys would have enough time to take his girlfriend to the room specially assigned for her.

We had even taken a drunk man there but everything just failed, the plan just failed..

“We are sorry Samantha,Lincoln got into the room and..”.I cut Tom off.

Well,the T boys were all in my room except Timothy.I don’t care if he is even absent,he wouldn’t get any dime.

“Didn’t I tell you guys to distract him? Why didn’t you do that?”.I rasped.

“We were about to but he was too fast so we didn’t get the chance to meet him”.Tripp chirped in and I held my hair frustrated.

I can’t believe that all my plans fail,I can’t understand why.

“And also Samantha,we found out that Timothy beat up the drunk man.He helped Lincoln and you wouldn’t believe that he stopped being our friends yesterday”.One of the T boys which name I can hærdly remember, oh yes Travis said and I gasped.

Timothy helped Lincoln? I can’t believe this but now I have to find a way to take back my money from this guys.My hundred dollars can’t go to waste.

“Uh..guys,you will have to ha..nd my money back to me.You di..dn’t do ex..actly what I t..old you all to do”.I stammered but they all laughed loudly.

And before I knew it,Tripp slapped me hærd on my cheek while dragging my hair so hærd that I thought my hair would pull out.

“You shouldn’t have trusted us,Samantha and don’t ever forget this,we never give back money even to jealous girls like you”.He whispered to me and tears carelessly rolled out of my eyes.
