**MARIANNA**
We are finally through with our exams and I am feeling so excited. The twenty students that won't the scholarships will be announced tomorrow and I can't wait to find out who the students are going to be.
I came back from school and hour ago and did the necessary things I had to do before I got dressed to go to work. Mom was taking a nap while Brianna was still at work. I left a short note on mom's bedside table to let her know that I have gone to work so that she won't be wondering where I went to when she wakes up.
My workplace is twenty minutes or so away from here so I chose to walk there instead of wasting money to take a bus. It would also be a sort of exercise for me. I got to work some min

CHAPTER THIRTY*AC ORGANIZATIONS**BRIANNA'S OFFICE* **BRIANNA**I was in my office, busy replying some important emails that needed to be replied on behalf of Mr. Adrian when suddenly, the intercom buzzed. I already knew the person that was calling before I picked it up. I answered the call and placed it on my ear."Good day boss." I greeted coldly. Since that incident outside my house, where Mr. Adrian and I argued, I had been ignoring him since I came back to work. I only talked to him whenever it is work-related."Come to my office now." He spoke rudely without even bothering to acknowledge my greeting and he hung up immediately. I rolled my eyes at his rudeness but I shouldn't really be surprised because that is how he is.I closed my laptop and stood up. I walked out of my office

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE **BRIANNA**I stormed out of the meeting room in anger. Mr. Adrian always has a way to rile me up but there's no way I'm gonna quit this job because of his silliness and teach him lessons he'll never forget to always remind him that he can't behave anyhow towards everybody.I was walking to my office when somebody suddenly grabbed me and pulled me into a dark corner. I was about to scream but a hand clamped over my mouth. I bit the hand but the person refused to remove the hand from my mouth."Shah, don't scream and stop biting my hand. It's me." A slightly familiar voice whispered and I recognized it almost immediately."I recognize you now. Can you take your hand off now?" I attempted to say but it came out muffled so I hit his hand and he brought his hand down.&n

They are located in chromosomes and are responsible for the transmission of characters from parents to offsprings......" Our biology teacher, Mr. Edward read out of the biology textbook. I was already getting sleepy because the class was very boring and Mr. Edward was not even doing anything to make the class lively and entertaining. All he was did was just reading out of the textbook.I rested my head on my hands and dozed off for some time before Mr. Edward's booming voice woke me up."Marianna Jackson, are you sleeping in my class?" He asked coldly."No sir, I wasn't sleeping." I lied through my teeth."What were

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE*NEXT DAY* **MARIANNA** I woke up to the loud noise coming from the blender. Mom must be making her fruit juice already. I looked towards Brianna's bed and saw that she was not lying on it and the bed was already made. She must have left for work. I remembered when I told Brianna about the scholarship stuff. She was really happy.~~FLASHBACK~~"Hey sis! What are you doing?" I asked when I entered the room and sat beside her."Ugh! I'm just going through these files that needs to be cross-checked." She groaned."Oh okay. There's something I have to tell you though." I said solemnly."Okay... What is that?" She asked halfheartedly, her sole attention on the files in front of her."I passed the scholarship exams and I'll be resuming in ROYAL GATE HIGH SCHOOL on Monday." I dropped the bombshell and Brianna tore her focus away from the files to look at me.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR*MONDAY MORNING* **MARIANNA**"Marianna, Marianna. Wake up. It's time for school." My mother's voice penetrated my deep sleep."Ugh mom! Five more minutes please." I moaned and snuggled closer to my pillow."Five more minutes? It's 7:55 and you're still sleeping. Have you forgotten that today is your first day at ROYAL GATE HIGH SCHOOL and you're running late already!" Mom snapped and I groaned loudly before what she said finally registered in my mind and I woke up immediately."Did you say the time is 7:55 mom? Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" I cried loudly while scrambling to get off my bed because my blanket was somehow tangled with my leg."The time is 7:57 now and don't put the blame on me. I have been trying to wake you up since but you kept on telling me to give you five more minutes." She stated."Oh shit! I can't believe I'm gonna be late on my first day of school." I said and was finally able to be free from my blanket and literally ran to the

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE **MARIANNA**"You!" I shouted wide-eyed."You! What the hell are you doing here?!" The cute but arrogant guy from my workplace asked loudly with a shocked face."What does it look like I am doing here?" I asked back rudely and stood up straight after I had finished picking up my textbooks that were all over the place."How the hell did you get into this school? How can a drycleaner like you get into Royal Gate High? Did you bribe your way through it?" He questioned looking surprised."Hey mister! Drycleaners are humans too and I didn't bribe my way through getting into this school. I got here like any other student did and if you were smart enough, you would know that I am here as a scholarship student!" I snapped angrily and hissed."You're here on a scholarship? I thought only brilliant students that passed the examinations would be allowed into this school? A dumb bitch like you could have never passed the exams. I'm pretty sure you cheated." He stat

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX **MARIANNA**"All of these happened some minutes ago and I was not informed about it? Someone should have sent for me and I would have come and reshape his ugly face." Julia said lividly after Vanessa and I finished narrating what had happened to them."He's not ugly Julia, he's actually very handsome. It is his behavior that is very bad." Vanessa pointed out."That is not the point Vee. The point is that I would have reconstructed his face with my fist and make him ugly." Julia stated seriously and the rest of us bursted into laughter."Why are y'all laughing? Do you guys think I'm joking?" She asked with yet another serious face and that just intensified our laughter. The reason behind our laughter is that we all know that Julia cannot kill an ant not to talk of reconstructing someone's face with punches."You guys should stop laughing. You're all making fun of me." Julia moaned and the laughter died down."You need to stop bluffing Julia. We know that you

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN*AC ORGANIZATIONS**BRIANNA'S OFFICE* **BRIANNA** My head was on my desk, I was taking a nap since there was nothing for me to do when the buzzing sound of the intercom penetrated my sleep. Why is he calling me now? Just when I started enjoying my nap. I picked up the intercom and placed it on my ear "Good day boss." I greeted gruffly. I have not set my eyes on him since I got to work this morning and this is also the first time he's calling me today."Good day Brianna. Why is your voice sounding like this? Were you sleeping?" He asked, but I did not reply him because it was a little embarrassing."That aside, I need you to come to my office. If you can remember, we have a meeting with Mr. Sergio at 'Dine with Diana' by 2:00 p.m. and this is 1:30 p.m. so we have to start going. Remember to take the necessary we'll be needing along with you." He said all of this with a clam voice and I was a bit surprised at the tone of his voice. Since when did he

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENTWO MONTHS LATER**BRIANNA**Adrian really fulfilled his promise about paying for my mom's treatment. After we came back from our trip to Spain, Adrian got in contact with his personal doctor and my mom was admitted in their hospital. She has been in the hospital for a month and few weeks now and finally got home today."It's good to have you home, mom." I said as I hugged her again. She was looking more healthy and wasn't as skinny as she was before. "It's good to be home." She chuckled as she hugged me back. I missed inhaling her flowery scent."Thanks for everything, Adrian. I couldn't imagine this happening without your help." I said to Adrian who was sitting on the couch and he smiled at me briefly."It's fine, no need for you to thank me." He uttered."Okay! What do y'all want for lunch? Homemade food or should we order?" I asked enthusiastically."We should definitely order." Marianna chipped in excitedly."Pizza and soda, anyone?" I asked."Yes!" Everybo

CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX**BRIANNA**I was woken up by the loud sound of the blender coming from downstairs. It sounded like a machine was in the house or something. I looked around me and noticed that I was laying on the blood and was covered by the duvet. I raised the duvet and saw that I was naked underneath it. It was at that moment, I remembered everything that happened last night. My cheeks flamed hot when I remembered every single details of what happened. How will I face Adrian after what happened last night?A frustrated groan left my mouth.After some minutes, I heard footsteps coming towards my room so I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I heard him walk into the room and I also heard the clatter of something being dropped on the bedside table. I peeled my eyes open slightly to see what he was doing and I saw him open the curtains, letting the sunlight inside and the room became brighter."I know you're awake." I heard him say, with his back facing me and I flinched slightl

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVEEVENING; AROUND 7 P.M.**BRIANNA**We were just getting home after a long day of visiting Museo Nacional del Prado. I must admit, that was the best museum I have ever been to in my life. Not like I have been to any museum, but I have a feeling that that would be the best one ever.We saw a lot of paintings by popular artists. Some of them were The Garden of Early Delights, a triptych oil painting by Hieronymus Bosch; we also saw Las Meninas, a painting by Diego Velazquez and we saw the painting "Saturn Devouring His Son" by Francisco Goya. Saturn Devouring His Son was the one that captivated me the most and I didn't even know the reason why.Back to the present time, Adrian and I just stepped into the house with me on his back. He gave me a piggyback ride on our way home because of how tired I was. Now, he was helping me take off my sneakers."You're so sweet." I murmured while playing with his hair as he his sitting on the floor in front of me."I do my best." H

CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR**BRIANNA**I peeled my eyes open when I suddenly felt the bright rays of sunshine on my face. The first thing my eyes came in contact with was Adrian who had a small smile on his face."Good morning, Sunshine!" He greeted cheerily."Good morning." I replied out, my voice sounding like a frog's that I almost couldn't recognize it. "What time is it?" I asked, attempting to get into a sitting position but I quickly decided against it when a strong wave of headache hit me.I groaned loudly."You probably shouldn't do that. You're hungover." Adrian said, coming to sit beside me with a bottle of water and aspirin in hand."Ugh! How much did I drink last night?" I asked, moaning in pain."Around five shot glasses, I guess you're a lightweight because I wasn't even affected by the drink." He said with a teasing smile."Geez! How did I drink that much?" I exclaimed and took the bottle of water and aspirin from him when he offered them to me.I took the aspirin and gulped

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREETWO DAYS LATER**BRIANNA**After two days of meeting with the investors, Mr. Gomez and his partner finally decided to invest in A.C. Robotics (one of the companies under Adrian's name) and now, Adrian and I are going out to celebrate."Adrian, where exactly are we going?" I asked him for the umpteenth time. This is the question I have been asking him ever since we got into the car and he began driving to God knows where.He sighed exasperatedly at my question."You won't stop asking me this question till I answer you, right?" He grumbled."Nope!" I said, popping the 'p'."Fine, we're going to a club to celebrate our win." He finally answered."Wow, really?" I asked, my eyes lighting up."Yeah, we're going to drink and dance. But nobody is getting drunk, at least not me because I have to drive." He uttered."That's a cool idea." I clapped enthusiastically.Minutes later, Adrian pulled over in front of a building with "The Dinero Lounge" written in neon light. We a

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO**BRIANNA**"Brianna... Wake up." I felt someone tap me but I snuggled closer to the soft pillow."Five more minutes mom..." I moaned and I heard a deep chuckle that didn't sound like my mother."Wake up, we're running late." I heard again ad the person shook me and I slowly peeled my eyes open. It took a second for me to remember that I wasn't at home and the person that was waking me was not my mom, but Adrian. I also remembered that I was no longer in California but in Madrid, Spain."Good morning, sunshine!" He smiled at me brightly."Good morning!" I said and tried to smile at him, but it came out more like a grimace."Ooh, you're not a morning person." He laughed."I hate mornings." I grumbled."Unfortunately, we have to go. It's almost 11 and the meeting with the investors is by 12. And I know it takes a while for y'all ladies to get dressed." He uttered and I quickly got out of bed."Thanks for waking me up. Let me go take my bath." I said and went towards

CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE**BRIANNA**"We will be landing in a minute!" The booming voice of the pilot woke me up from my nap. I raised my head from Adrian's shoulder and rubbed my eyes so that I could see clearly. Adrian was also asleep so I tapped him and he woke up."The pilot said that the plane will be landing soon." I muttered to him and he nodded."Flight attendants, prepare for landing please. Passengers, sit tight and buckle your seatbelts, we'll be landing now." The pilot announced once more.A few seconds later, I felt the pressure of the jet moving downwards and I gripped the armrest tightly, just like I did when we were about to take off. Turns out, I was still scared of flying.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to A. C. Private Airport. Local time is 3:26 a.m. and the temperature is warm at 22°C.For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate a

CHAPTER SEVENTY**BRIANNA**I woke up on a bed a few hours later. I looked out the window to see that we were still flying. The flight from California to Spain takes over eleven hours so it's understandable. Everywhere was dark and my stomach growled, reminding me that the last time I ate was in the morning.I strode to the main area of the jet to find Adrian in his laptop. He must be working. Me eyes raked over his body, stopping at the part where his shirt was unbuttoned and I could see his bare chest with curly hair around it.He must have seen me come in or noticed that I was seriously checking him out because he raised his head and our eyes locked. A playful smirk formed on his face."Checking me out, huh?" He asked playfully. "Don't worry, I'm all yours and I ain't going nowhere."He said that with a wink and my face went hot."I wasn't checking you out." I rolled my eyes."Hoe could one look so hot?" I muttered to myself and went to sit beside him."Huh huh, in sure you weren't

CHAPTER SIXTY NINE**BRIANNA**I got another shock when I set my eyes on the jet. The jet was coated in gold! Gold I tell you! I turned to face Adrian in surprise."Is that real gold?" I asked him dumbly and he laughed."Yes, it's real gold. You don't expect to see me having anything to do with fake gold do you?" He chuckled."Wow, you're really more richer than I thought." I breathed in surprise."Don't think too much about it. Let's go." He said as he intertwined his hand with mine and led me up the steps of the jet.I was more amazed when we were inside the jet. From where I was standing, I could see that it had eights seats, each the size of a single seater couch. And they even have tables in front of them. I feel like a villager right now."Close your mouth before a fly finds it way inside. Your jaw is practically on the floor right now." Adrian joked and I snapped my mouth close in embarrassment."Whatever." I grumbled and sauntered over to one of the seats. I planted my butt o
