Liam's POV
Uhhm.... Aubrey, can I kiss you?" I asked lowly
"Oh Lord please let her say yes" I prayed within me
"Yes" she answered timidly
Oh my God! Did she just say yes? No, I can't be so sure yet.
"What did you say?"
"Uhhm.... I said yes, you can kiss me" she said again and I wasted no time in kissing her lips.
Her lips tasted so delicious that I didn't want to let go of it, but it looks like she's not good with kisses because she didn't respond.
I pulled out of the kiss and stared at her feet as she bowed her head shyly.
"Was that your first kiss?" I asked and all she could do was not her head slowly
"Wow! I'm honoured. I actually thought you were joking when you told me you haven't kissed before, but the way you kissed shows you're an amateur. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you different ways of kissing, okay?" I said and she still nodded
"Won't you talk to me anymore because of the kiss?
Liam's POVI got home, took my bath and lay on my bed waiting patiently for Daniel to arrive. Truth be told, I was really nervous but I have to do this before it's too late.Few minutes before I drifted to sleep, I heard a car drive in and guessing it was Daniel, I left my room and headed downstairs.Like I guessed, it was really Daniel."I'm sorry for the improptu meeting, it's just that I have to do this now. Freshen up and come back downstairs" I said to Daniel and sat on one of the couches in the sitting room*Minutes later*"So... I called you guys here because there's something important I want is to discuss" I said and gulped nervously"Yeah, I know. So just get it done with, I want to sleep" Daniel said tiredly"Okay. I want us to cancel the bet we placed on Aubrey" I dropped the bombshell"Wait! You said what?" Jayden asked not believing what he heard"Let's cancel the bet we placed on
Khloe's POVAfter school closed, I took my bag and kept my books before heading to the library for detention.Natalie and Aubrey just stared at me without saying a word. I totally appreciate the fact that they didn't question me since morning.I dropped my bag on a chair and began dusting and cleaning without waiting for Aubrey and Liam.Few minutes later, they came in and started dusting after dropping their bags too.We cleaned for two hours before we finally stopped and decided to go home.I took my bag and wanted leaving as usual when Liam's voice stopped me."Are you okay Khloe?" he asked making me turn to him"What am I even saying? You're definitely not okay. Just don't think about it much, everything will be fine. Forget about the past and move on, okay?" he said surprising the hell out of meLiam has really changed a lot and it's all thanks to Aubrey. Maybe I don't really deserve him, maybe Aubrey
Aubrey's POVI stared at my phone for the hundredth time. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit but still I've been checking my phone since waiting for Liam's call but none is coming forth.Is he expecting me to call him? It's his fault so why should he expect me to call?I sighed tiredly and dropped my phone. I wasn't even able to concentrate when I was practicing. I'm sure Sam would have cautioned me if she was here.As I was about opening the door of my room, a call came into my phone and thinking it was Liam, I ran to my bed and sprained my ankle in the process.I didn't care about it as at that moment. Instead, I ran to the bed and picked up my phone. When I checked the caller, I decided it was Sophie and I became disappointed.That was when the pain hit me hard and I remembered I sprained my ankle. I dropped the phone, ignoring the call and focused on my ankle instead.After the call ended the first time, it came in agai
Liam's POVI kept a straight face as I carried Aubrey bridal style to the cafeteria. Normally, I would have giggled with the look on her face but I will just pretend to be mad at her for a little while longer.When we got to the cafeteria, I put her down gently and pulled out a sit before making her sit on it."What will you like to eat?" I asked her still not smiling"I'm not hungry" she answered nonchalantly"Why? You were coming to the cafeteria before I carried you so why don't you want to eat anymore?""Isn't it obvious? It's because you carried me of course" she answered with an eyeroll"Let's stop all these now Aubrey. Fine, I'm sorry okay?""You're sorry for what?""For trying to drive you home against your will""But your sorry won't change a thing.""I don't understand""Nevermind. I will just take pie and juice""Alright. Let me get it for you"Min Ju's POV
Aubrey's POV*A week later*I stayed in my room practicing for my upcoming concert on Saturday. Home is really boring without Samantha.My parents are at home but their too busy with themselves to remember me. I envy their love! They've been married for close to thirty years now but they still can't get enough of each other.I sighed for the umpteenth time because I just keep repeating the dance steps when I have nothing to do.We're done with our exams but we can't go on vacation because of some reasons the school said that I don't know of.I laid on my bed ready to sleep when I suddenly started hearing voices downstairs. I didn't pay attention to it until I heard a voice that sounded like Sophie's.I quickly removed my bedcover and ran downstairs."Unnie (big sis)" I screamed and hugged her tight"Baby sis" she replied and hugged me too"So it's only Sophie you saw?" Jason asked with an eyeroll
Liam's POV*Two weeks later*My relationship with Aubrey has been going smoothly for the past two weeks and I can say I'm grateful for that.Jayden and Daniel haven't made any move lately. In fact, they've stayed away from Aubrey completely and I like that but the bet is still on.We haven't called it off yet and it's giving me a hard time. What if Jayden and Daniel are planning something?How I wish we didn't place a bet on Aubrey from the start! I would have just enjoyed my relationship with her and not have anything to worry about.But now that I made a mistake from the start, I can't just ignore it and continue the relationship. I have to sort things out with Jayden and Daniel first.Isn't there anything I can do to make them leave Aubrey alone? Shit! I'm going insane!Min Ju's POVMy friendship with Min Seok has been going on smoothly these past days and I'm really happy with the progress we're m
Friday *A day before Jayden’s birthday*Aubrey's POV“Are you going to attend the party tomorrow?” Liam asked on our way out of the schoolI don’t even know if I should attend or not. My parents will definitely let me attend the party, but not without guards.It’s just that I have a bad feeling about going to that party, I feel like something bad will happen there but Liam has been pleading with me to attend the party so I guess I have no choice.“Yes, I will attend the party for you” I said with a faux smile”“Really? Thank you so much Aubrey. I love you!” he said grinning widelyIs he so happy I will be attending the party? Well, I’m glad his happy!We bade each other farewell when we got to his car and went our separate ways.*Saturday morning*I woke up with a beautiful smile on my face. Knowing I will be seeing Liam toda
Jayden's POVIt's finally my birthday, the day I've been waiting for all my life! Hahahaha!I just hope Aubrey won't fuck up because I haven't set my eyes on her ever since the party started but Liam is here.I walked to and fro the hall stylishly looking for her and luckily for me, I saw her walking towards the hall. Perfect!Liam hasn't seen her yet so I guess this is the perfect opportunity."Welcome Aubrey" I greeted startling her a bitShe actually looks different this night. Her beauty is mesmerizing or is it just me? She still looks the same and all but she's more beautiful."Ohh... Jayden!" she said placing her hand on her chest and snapping me out of my thoughts at the same time"Why did you scare me like that?" she asked angrily"I'm sorry Aubrey, I didn't mean to scare you" I answered looking down pitifully"Uhhm.... It's okay. Where is Liam?" she asked trying to look at the people in the
Aubrey's POVI'm really happy right now! Being with the guy I love and surrounded by loving and caring people, I couldn't have asked for more.Dad will be announcing me to the world today as his daughter and that will make my security double.Khloe doesn't even know about it yet so I wonder how she will take the news. The only people that know I'm the President's Daughter are Samantha and Min Seok.I got into one of my numerous cars and drove to the media house where dad will be showing me to the world as his daughter.After two hours, we were finally done with the things we had to do in the media house and we went home.The trending news you will see on TV and on net is about me. Khloe and Natalie are going to beat me to a pulp.Just when I was almost home, I heard the ringing of my phone. I took it out and saw that the caller was Khloe. Great!

Liam's POVI've finally decided to date Khloe since my feelings for her are getting stronger each passing day and she couldn't stop screaming happily ever since I told her."When are you going to stop jumping like a kid Khloe?""I can't stop because right now, I'm the happiest person on earth. Do you know how long I've waited for the day you'll reciprocate my love?""I know, I know. But just stop already, we should be preparing for a date instead" I said with an eyeroll"A date? You want us to go on a date? Oh my goodness!! Just give me few minutes to change my clothes" she said running to her room while I shook my head"I will also go home to change my clothes, I will be back in an hour" I screamed from the sitting room"Alright then, I'll be waiting. Just make sure you bring snacks for me when you're coming""Why do I have to bring snacks for you when we'll be going on a date?""Just buy it, no ques
Min Seok’s POVI was currently seated at the beach with Aubrey after our little running around. I think I should confess my feelings for her now before it’s too late, I wouldn’t want what happened the last time to repeat itself.“Aubrey” I called holding her hands tenderly “or should I say Byeol?”“Whichever you call me is fine” she said with a small smile“You know I’ve always had feelings for you right? Either as Aubrey or as Byeol” I said and paused to watch her reaction“You had feelings for me when we were in school?” she asked surprised“Yes. Didn’t you know?”“I kind of guessed you had feelings for me but I didn’t know it was a serious one, I thought the feelings died down later on”“It didn’t, I was actually stopping myself from falling in love with you because I’v
Aubrey’s POVI took out my phone and went through some things online since I was the only one at home, I wonder where Samantha went to though. I feel really bored.“Good afternoon Aubrey! How are you doing?” I saw Min Seok’s message pop up on WhatsApp. Why is he still trying to talk to me after he said we were no longer friends and I should stay away from him?I ignored the message at first but my mind wasn’t at rest so I decided to reply after some time.“I’m doing good and you?” I replied“I’m good too. You don’t seem to be really busy, can we meet please? I won’t take much of your time”I thought about it for a while. Since Samantha isn’t at home and I’m really bored, going to see him won’t be a bad idea. I’m also going to let him know that I was aware of his true identity all along but I kept quiet and didn’t ju
Samantha’s POVWho the hell is calling me at the middle of the night? I took out my phone and checked the caller. Ohh…. It’s the guy I asked to keep an eye on Min Ju. I’m supposed to have dealt with her all these while but I’ve been keeping my cool because she’s really annoying.If I try to punish her with how angry I am right now, it might lead to something else that I don’t want. She dares order people to rape Aubrey after posting Khloe’s nude pics online? Ahh!! I should answer this call before it ends.“Good evening ma’am”“Yeah…. How may I help you?”“Uhhm…. I called to give you a report on Miss Min Ju”“What report?” I asked with rapt attention“She said she will be travelling out of the country tomorrow”“Really? What time?”“Her flight is scheduled for 10:
Aubrey's POVHow did my prom night end up in tears? I'm the envy of most people but if only they knew what I'm passing through, they wouldn't even wish they were me.I love Liam but I can't be with him anymore because I don't trust him. And Min Seok, I like him too but he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.Just why is my life like this? Why can't I be happy for once?Someone stretched an handkerchief to me and I looked up with my teary eyes to see Samantha."I knew something like this was going to happen so I didn't stay at prom for too long. Although I'm a bit late, I would have thought those people that made you cry a big lesson. Here, have it" she said placing the handkerchief in my palm making me burst into more tears"Stop crying. I didn't give you the handkerchief so you could cry more, I gave you to wipe you tears" she said pulling me up"Thank you Sam" I said after I calmed down a little
Aubrey's POVThe party went on and everyone danced with their partners when it was time but I just sat down and watched on.The looks the students are giving me is creepy enough to make me scared. They're starting at me like I stole the dress because they know how expensive it is.What is going to be Min Seok's reaction when he finds out I fooled him until now? Sam already said he won't get married to me anymore. *Sighs*"I'm going to be inviting someone special to come on stage now, she has something to tell you all" the principal announced and I felt goosebumps on my skin since I knew he was referring to meI withdrew my hand from Min Seok and slowly stood up heading for the podium."Good evening everyone" I greeted nervously"There's a secret about me that I want to reveal to everyone present in this hall tonight. To my friends and everyone that trusted me, I want to say I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to fool yo
Khloe’s POVI’m so nervous right now! I have everything ready for Aubrey’s birthday but I don’t know why I feel so scared to call her over.“Take a deep breath Khloe! She’s just the Aubrey in your class and one of your friends, not a celebrity so there’s nothing to be scared of” my subconscious assuredYes! There’s absolutely nothing to be scared of. I took out my phone and dialed her number immediately. It rang to the end but she didn’t answer the call, I called her again but it was the same thing. I continued trying it like that until I got tired. She must be really mad at me!Just when I was about drifting off to sleep, my phone rang jolting me up. I checked the caller and discovered it was Aubrey. Oh… Aubrey!“Where did you put your phone Aubrey? I’ve been calling for ages!” I said once I picked the call“I’m sorry Khloe,
Thursday *Aubrey’s birthday*Min Seok’s POVToday is Byeol’s birthday and I can’t miss it for anything in the world. Come to think of it, Byeol’s name is also Aubrey Connor so is it the same Aubrey in my school or another one?“Come on Min Seok! How can you think Byeol is the same Aubrey in your class? Are you even thinking at all?” my subconscious mocked.Yeah, whatever! I’m just trying to say they have the same name, nothing more!I got into my car and drove to the venue. Very soon, I’m also going to reveal myself to the world as Jae In after which I and Byeol will get married. Perfect, isn’t it?”Aubrey’s POVI can’t believe today is my birthday. I’m so nervous right now because I will be revealing my face to the world.“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Sam asked and my sister nodded in support
