Charlotte had lowered her head while the whole canteen was silent as if clinging to her lips. She could feel their lingering stares when she had no escape. Anyway, she knows very well that even if she tries to get up and run away from there, Michael won't give her the chance. He has decided to go through the most vicious of ways to humiliate her so he will destroy what is most important to her, her reputation. She looked at him with tears in her eyes as she silently begged him to stop but he had that cold, mean look on her, that look that said no matter how much she cried he wasn't going to leave her alone. She sat cross-legged and put her hands on the floor lowering her head low as she was shaking, Michael still crouched in front of her, seeming to be waiting for an answer. Michaël smiled before lifting Charlotte's face with his finger making her dip into his emeralds. “You have and will never have an answer because Charlotte Brighton, you are a liar and the worst that exists.
The days that followed were very quiet for me. Indeed, since Michaël's intervention, my life in high school has been better and I could finally go to school with a free heart. I was able to catch up on the lessons, and now I am ready to start the end-of-term exams. Soon the end of the year holidays and I can't wait. I will finally discover Jeanne's secret. She had let me understand that in December, she would be doing something special, I just hope she didn't go into debt for that. Many things had changed in high school, including the dismissal of many students. I also heard in the hallway noises that Michaël Keller had shaken the city of Central by leading to the bankruptcy of several big names. Most of these people had been guilty of many wrongdoings, so in fact, it was a good thing for the city to be able to get rid of such harmful people. Their crimes were so horrific that knowing that such people occupied high places in the city was appalling. A chance that many had not
Michael pulled me out of Carla's embrace before lifting my chin to look at him. “Do you like to make me jealous? » I chuckled before shrugging my shoulders. ** It's a girl like me, I don't know what you have in mind ** I heard Johan chuckle as Michael scratched his cheek. Carla was peony red as I wondered why they seemed to be kidding me. “Ah frankly I knew you were innocent but now I find you even cuter. I almost want to make advances to you” "But you won't do it or I'll slaughter you, kid" Johan smiled before putting his hands in his pockets and going to sit at a table to read some books. Carla came to caress my cheek before joining her brother while Michaël had this jealous and so adorable pout and I pulled his cheeks unable to resist. “Ssstop…EmmaHe was too cute. I blushed before I felt him grab both my hands and stare intently at me. “Do you want me to kiss you right now? In front of everybody? » I blushed before moving away, putting a lock of hair behind my ea
The shop was empty; only Carla and her brother were present. Indeed it is not very strange since with the cold winters many prefer to stay warm at home around a fireplace drinking a hot drink than to go out even for the best of books. This day, therefore, exceptionally, there was nothing to do and I could allow myself breaks at any time. Mr. Burns was sitting checking some documents while Michaël and I were facing Carla and Johan. I had learned about what had happened with their father and the consequences on their family and I wondered how they were doing. Indeed, and it is not at all Michaël's fault, their father, unable to find suitable investors for his activity which, according to public opinion, lacked modernism, had finally bankrupted. They lived in a house that their father had been able to keep after the seizure of his property and every day was quite difficult because after going bankrupt the family broke up. Their mother left their father no one knows where she i
Michaël arrived at the premises of his father's central management when he received a princely welcome. Honestly, why were these people making such a big deal out of it? He was walking in the middle of a human hedge and it annoyed him. People who stopped as if he were the master of the world and greeted him with their heads down had a knack for horrifying him, resulting in him royally ignoring them. Did he have to go there? His father likes that stuff, but he's not really into it. He walked the halls with Fabian behind him while his father's private secretary came immediately after the reception to escort him personally. "The president has been meeting since the morning, he will soon be free, allow me, sir, to lead you to the president's private room and return the amenities to you" The woman was polite so Michael didn't want to hurt her. " GOOD " She smiled before leading Michaël to his father's private living room, there was an adjacent door that led directly to his fath
Jeanne was in front of the cold and lifeless body of the one who had been her best friend for less than a month and a half. It was awful, her chest had been butchered and she wondered why such savagery. Peggy was not one to hurt people, she was admittedly naive and a little crazy but she was a good person. Why did she have to die like this? She wanted only one thing, to earn enough money to be able to support her family and live decently. She knew how difficult it was every day. She told her that her father was far too old to continue working in the fields, and that her mother was trying somehow to feed her little brothers and sisters with the meager sums that she sent her and also, what her own cadets managed to bring home. They didn't really have time to study, who would pay? She still wanted her two little brothers to graduate from primary school so she sent more money from her own resources to pay for their schooling. She's in so much pain, she didn't know any more genero
I stayed by Aden's bedside until almost noon when he woke up. I smiled because his face was less pale, a sign that he was feeling better so I decided to apologize because I had to go to work. I was about to sign to warn him of my imminent departure when I received a text message from Michaël. It seems that he has finished his work and is already at the shop. [Mr. Burns tells me you went to visit that boy?] I felt that if Michael had said it to my face, it would have been in a tone full of judgment and remonstrance. Anyway, that's how I feel. [Yes he got sick and I came to see how he is…] [You're not a doctor it seems to me] [Michael?] I didn't understand why he was being so cold, bordering on mean. It was a sick person there, moreover, Aden was very nice to me, he is my friend. [Never mind it seems to me that you have already spent enough time with him come in immediately] I clenched my fists before sighing. Michaël loves me which is why he is like that. Even though I
Jeanne was silent for over an hour as Fabian told her almost everything about his past. There were always facts he didn't dare tell her and for a particular reason. He loved Jeanne more than his own life but he was afraid that if she found out about this particular fact, she would be disgusted with him and want to break up. It kills him to think about that so even if it gives the impression of hiding something certainly important from her, he must not play with fire. So he told her about his admission to the orphanage after the death of his father, and the fact that the living conditions there were not good so they had to go to the streets. He, Sophie, and Carmen. "Did you grow up with Michaël's mother?" » “Yes … we were very close” Fabian lowered his head as Jeanne frowned. "I imagine she's the woman you occasionally refer to with that sad look. You were in love with her, weren't you? » Fabian looked away before pulling himself together. “I forgot her a long time ago…
