chapter 3

When Ria was still confused about what was happening, suddenly there was a voice heard from the back, "Ria, what are you doing!?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ria turned back, and saw that there was a man coming over there.

It's none other than Melvin, whom Bella stated this show for.

After seeing Bella in the lake, Melvin helped Bella, who was drowning in the lake and took her to the guest room.

Later, Melvin questioned Ria angrily "what were you doing there!?"and "what was happening"?

Ria didn't know how to answer and said "I don't know what was happening either!"

Just then Bella, who was acting all unconscious, woke up and asked "What just happened?"

Upon seeing Bella waking up, Melvin asked her, "are you okay?" "Do you know what happened"?

Bella answered "I don't know, I was just trying to talk to Ria... and suddenly she grabbed my hand out of nowhere and I don't know what happened later"

After listening to Bella, Melvin looked at Ria and asked, "Is what she true"?

Ria answered "I wasn't the one who grabbed the hand, it's her"

Melvin was in dilemma about whom to believe, and didn't know what to do, so he just said "l will look into this matter later "

But the thing was, Melvin saw what was happening, but only half. He didn't know if what he saw was true or not.

After Melvin left, Ria questioned Bella, who was lying in the bed "what were you thinking?"

And "why did you do that?"

Bella replied "Don't you really know?" or "Are you just pretending?"

Just then Ria said "I wasn't pretending, but I just don't understand, why are you even doing these things? "

After what Ria said Bella smirked and replied "Don't you really know?" I thought you knew, since you also don't like me too "

Ria questioned Bella "Do you perhaps like Melvin!?"

Bella answered "what if I like him? "What will you do?"

"So ... was it because you like him?"Ria asked

Bella answered "No! That's not all, I hate you! , I hate you because, everybody loves you!"

Ria laughed and said "was it really because of that? Then good luck! You can keep hating me like this, if it makes you happy!"

After reaching home :

Ria actually didn't show it in front of Bella, but ria was actually hurt by the words of Bella and whispered to herself, "It's okay if she doesn't like me, but why did she have to hate me"

"I didn't even do anything wrong"

While ria was in sad mood, just then a maid came and said, "lady Rianide, duchess is calling you"

Ria upon being summoned by her mother, went to her and said "mother, did you call me?"

Her mother asked Ria, "what happened to Bella? "Why isn't she here"?

Ria replied "mother I was going to tell you, cousin fell into the lake near palace, so she is taking rest there"

Duchess asked "is she okay?"Did she get hurt? "

Ria said "she is fine, it's just that she needs some rest"

Ahh, it's a relief then! You know that she is our responsibility since she is our guest right!" said duchess

"yes mom" Ria replied

Back in the palace :

Lucy receives a letter from her grandmother saying that, her grandmother misses her and Melvin.

Since Melvin is busy, she asks Lucy to visit her.
