Daisy's POVI sighed immediately after I heard the bell for lunch break, I quickly stood up with my lunch bag, I was starving, I hadn't eaten the day before nor did I have any breakfast, and the thought of having to start living with Celine under the same roof in a few weeks from now is enough to make me lose appetite but mum was determined to go ahead with the wedding, she doesn't wanna listen to me, what do I matter to her anyways? She's fixated on getting married and of all the men she chose, it has to be Celine's dad, the thought of it always makes me wanna scream in frustration but as time goes by, I thought long and hard about it and decided that my mother can do whatever she wants, all I have to do is to study hard and if I do well enough, I just might be able to get into college sooner than I ought to, I will choose a college that is very far from home and once I gain admission, I will never show my face to my mother ever again.I sighed, bringing out my lunch box from my lunc

Aires' POVI sat alone in the basketball court, school hour is over but I am not in a hurry to go back home, I had told the principal that I needed to do extra time reading in the school, so she had permitted me to stay in the school after instructing me to make sure that I lock up when I am done, my mind is flooded with different questions, I lay alone in the basketball court and stared at the amulet in my hand, I wonder what it stands for, I placed it around my neck, then taking out the little penknife I had put earlier in my bag, I slit my palm and watched blood ooze out, it didn't heal on its own, slowly, I removed the amulet from around my neck and watched as the injury closed up and I didn't feel an ounce of pain anymore, what could this mean?

I said, as soon as I entered her shop, depositing a kiss on her cheeks,"Hey Aires, what are you doing here?" She asked, looking surprised."I want to speak to you mum.

I stared at the nurse standing in front of me, I was rendered speechless by this news, pregnant? No, how can I be pregnant at eighteen? What will happen to my college? My scholarship, I feel so scared right now and it must have reflected on my face because the nurse stared at me with pity and patted my shoulders before walking away.This has to be a dream, for the past weeks, I have been feeling sick, nausea at every slightest smell, and fatigued almost all the time that I even got shouted at by my boss, I thought it was just a flu and will be fine, but when the week past by and it still does not look like I'll be fine soon, I decided to visit the hospita

Daisy's POVI paced nervously in my room and paused when I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror, I look tense but beautiful in the long princess ball gown that Aires had sent for me, today is the night of our prom and he will make sure that I attend as his date, I sighed, my gaze went to my table clock, it's nine O'clock already, the party was supposed to start seven O'Clock, he's two hours late, he has never been late to an appointment before, what's keeping him? Perhaps he change his mind about taking a geek as his date, I waited some more, still, no sign of him, I dialed his number, it rang but he didn't bother to pick up, it was almost midnight, I guess he changed his mind then, disappointed, I undressed and not bothering to remove my makeup, I sank on my bed and drifted off to sleep.I felt his presence as soon as he came in, slowly, my eyes drifted open, he was a silhouette against the bright light of my room, I was under my duvet but I was still conscious that I am wear

I nodded, "why shouldn't I be?" "The class teacher has called you for more than three times but got no response from you", she explained, that was when I turned round to see all eyes on me, Celine snickered maliciously,"Er...I...
