2024-10-29 19:42:56Lila stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was admiring her dress. It fitted perfectly on her, the fabric was soft and the most important was the price didn’t make her wallet cried.
Nodding at her reflection, she was ready to go, then went downstairs immediately.
Uncle Malcom as the University’s President, choosing not to attend the gala, he watched tv drama with Aunt Becky. The kitten was sleeping on Aunt Becky’s lap.
“I’m leaving. Take care of my baby.” Said Lila as she walked by the sitting room.
“You better give it a name.” Uncle Malcom voiced his irritation.
His tired tone made Lila giggled.
Last night when Lila got home, Aunt Becky welcomed her. Lila showed the kitten in the carrier then told her. “I’m adopting this baby.”
Aunt Becky smiled brilliantly, taking the carrier. While Uncle Malcom who was sitting with his back facing the front door, choked and threw a fit cough after hearing what Lila had said, thinking L

Under grad students usually made the lobby garden busy for almost twenty-four hour everyday, they come and go through it. But not tonight. The gala had it closed. Lila stepped to the empty lobby alone. Scanning all direction of the lobby, she found nothing. Maybe I was wrong. She concluded. “I’m so impressed.” A voice came, walking from inner lobby to the outside. Lila didn’t have to turn around to see who said it. She knew very well and also hate it. Professor Gustav stood beside her. “First time attending the gala, you manage to get along with the second prince. Wow.” He clapped coldly and out of rhyme. “You should share that kind of skill to the rest of us.” Pretending not to hear a word from him, Lila scanned the empty lobby once again. Her eyes roamed everywhere, except at the man beside her. But Professor Gustav seemed unnoticed, he kept on talking. “Though his speech implied about our special activity,”

The air around Lila’s fist and Professor Gustav’s face stormed sharply. It felt suffocating to Professor Gustav. He finally saw the punch coming, but too shock to make a move. He never thought, the obedient girl he knew all these years could do this kind of blow. Closing his eyes, waiting for the punch to come, he didn’t realize that the storm had stopped and the suffocating air dropped suddenly. Andrew’s large palm held Lila’s punch just an inch from Professor Gustav’s nose. “Don’t!” Andrew shook his head, gazing into Lila’s eyes. “Not worth it.” Few seconds Andrew endured Lila’s deadly glare while still holding her fist. “What are you doing here?” Lila hissed through her teeth, jerking her fist free from Andrew’s grasp. “Saving you…” Having his sense back as the still and silent surrounding assured him that Lila’s punch was aborted, Professor Gustav opened his eyes and blinked few times to calm his shaking nerves. Feeling calm, his cocky attitude back again. “Listen to him,

“What is your problem, woman?” “I said, let’s go to the vet with me.” Lila repeated in a tired tone. “Your dog looks in pain.” “I heard you!” The man retorted sharply. “Again, my dog is just being naughty, he’s not sick. Besides, it’s my dog, my decision.” Lila’s voice started to raise. “Not anymore when you kick your dog in front of witnesses.” “Or we can go straight to the police.” Andrew added as he positioned himself standing next to Lila. “That way, you can no longer be with your dog, and your dog will be safe and sound in the vet. Your choice.” The man cursed in foreign language. He threw belittling angry looks while pulling his dog, getting ready to leave. “I can make you deported from this country, you know.” Andrew slid to the same foreign language, halting the man’s step. He also noticed Lila was astonished, probably within the moment her mind was forming questions for him. Thinking he would cross that bridge when he got there, then he told the man. “You can kiss your

“They fought with Hell Rhino without knowing he’s Hell Rhino.” Concluded Andrew indifferently. A cynical chuckle came from Evan. “How come they call themselves Blue Rings’ members, if they didn’t even know their leader.” Andrew hummed softly. “I don’t think low level members like them would be introduced to Rhino. It’s natural that they didn’t know what their leader’s looked like.” “Yeah, no one would think a short and pretty guy like him would be a dangerous Gang leader.” Evan snorted. Inside The Arena, headquarter of Evan’s organization, Andrew and Evan were sitting on the long plush sofa, from which their eyes were fixed on the floor to ceiling screen. The two of them were studying a profile of the four thugs that they called chickens on the same screen where there was a real-time situation of a dim underground room with the chickens in it. “You get this information because…” Andrew turned to his assistant, Max, who sat on the armchair. “Well, they have an eastern accent, sin

“Alright, I’m going to hand you the result of last week’s quiz.” Lila walked towards the corner table. Handing a stack of paper to the student who sat behind it. For some moments, she watched the stack spread quickly as each student took the paper with their name on it. “Before we end today’s class, any question?” Two hands lifted. One by one, Lila listened to the question that was asked by her student, then carefully answered it. After making sure there was no other question to be asked, she dismissed the class. It had been a month since the new term began and five weeks since the University gala, Lila was still adjusting with the tight teaching schedule. She felt her life rotated around teaching and studying for her research. Although, the research was going nowhere, since she didn’t have the blood sample from Andrew yet. He said he will give it to her. But up until now, not a single drop of his blood was given to her. Due to her busy schedule, she couldn’t steal a time to go to

Trying to reason on why the company wanted to invest their money in Lila’s research. “Bank of Framery, the National Bank is under our Arthur.” Susan continued. “So is the largest resort in our country, The Island.” Her eyes lightened. “Oh, and blocks of commercial districts at Mayor Street, also the hotel, Arthur’s Icon. Wow…” Susan’s eyes grew wider, knowing the hotel was all over the country. “And…” She checked Lila and John’s attention. “And the amusement park.” “So, their field of business was nowhere near science.” Lila concluded. “It seems half of the country belongs to them.” Added John. “I don’t understand, I thought the University gala invites people with money onl

“Having you here tonight is breaking our years of tradition, Lila.” The king started after the servants were done serving the soup. “In a good way.” Henry quickly added, seeing Lila’s spoon froze midway to her mouth. He glared at his grandfather before explaining to Lila. “His Majesty is pleased to see a pretty face like yours instead of us. Since every year we, four men, have this dinner alone.” Lila’s startled look turned into an understanding smile. “Thank you for having me, Your Majesty. I didn’t expect it would be a dinner for your birthday, Your Majesty, when Andrew asked me to go to a secret dinner.” “Typical of Andrew. Always full of secrets.” Edvard snorted. “It’s a surprise.

Edvard was looking at the starry sky, wondering what Lila had been doing. He was in a secured private estate, safely away from the hungry sensation's seekers of paparazzi. Where once a year they had family dinner to celebrate the king's actual birthday. His trail of thoughts disturbed when he heard confident footsteps coming closer. He recognized it was his father's footsteps since the other two younger members of the family hadn't arrived yet. “I met the prime minister this afternoon.” Said the king, standing next to his son. “He told me something interesting.” Somehow Edvard could guess where the conversation might lead, but he waited for his father to elaborate.

When Lila agreed to Prince Edvard's invitation to go to the museum with him, it was Saturday morning.Since Edvard was Andrew's relative, she thought becoming Edvard's friend was part of her duty as Andrew's girlfriend.She also became used to the cup of coffee and a pink rose that was delivered every morning on her desk. To the angel, whoever he or she might be, who sent the coffee and pink rose to her, she felt grateful and quit questioning it. Because she really liked the coffee and enjoyed every delicious drop of it.Sunday morning came. Edvard waited for Lila inside his car a few metres from a bus stop. He didn't understand why she asked to meet at this specific bus stop, since her uncle's house was far away from the bus stop.He realized there were so many things that he didn't know about Lila, and he wanted to know all of those things to understand her.Like right now as he watched Lila get off of the bus which served a route from

"What is she doing here?" Andrew's smile dropped and his step halted upon seeing who was the one behind Lila. "Why is she with you?"His abrupt halt made Lila halt her step too. Behind Andrew, Lila saw Maggie was sitting on the long sofa and calmly put her drink onto the table.She was slightly irritated. Though she understood perfectly why he acted that way toward Carla, did he have to spark fire like that in front of Maggie?"I told you this isn't a good idea."

Carla suspected Andrew made her lose a few jobs, while she was a hundred percent sure Andrew was behind it. She knew it was an easy thing for Andrew.But it was almost impossible to believe when Carla said that she was sorry for everything she had done to her and wanted to fix their relationship.Losing jobs would never change someone with spiteful and hatred that rooted for thirteen years into a better person. The change perhaps to get the job back or revenge. That was what she thought about Carla's intention.Lila said nothing then walked inside the fancy cafe. She failed to find anything to validate her doubt. Not
