Leona's P. O. V...

Life has been dotted with many events. Unfortunate or Fortunate, Beautiful and saddening, Warm or cold. A life that I am leading so far. One thing I have understood is that I am not lucky.

Not everyone is lucky enough. But I am not lucky in every aspect. That's why I like to let go before I can see the results. And, unfortunately, time proves that I am indeed right. I am not lucky.

" Please stop here. I have to go to work!" I told the driver to stop by the roadside. I have to attend my job or say goodbye to my pocket money.

" What work? You don't have to. I told you I took your resp-"

" Thank you. But I don't want to depend on you entirely. I am glad that you are taking responsibility for my education. But I don't want to rely on you entirely!" I said getting off the car. I don't want to owe someone.

" Why can't you?"

I stopped when he asked me. Raising my eyebrows, I look at him.

" I don't want to. "

" Why? I need an exact reason!" He insisted. What's going on

    " You should use this stool to grab the product from the upper case." When Blake said that to me. I felt like laughing. I have been working here for years and I know what I should do or not. However, seeing how closely he is acting, I wish I could punch his nose. But, the real question is...Why is he here? Blake Wordsmith, the second generation heir of Wordsmith Entertainment Company. He used to be our neighbor. I remember my maternal grandparents gifted a two-million-dollar penthouse to my mother before they died. She sold it and moved into an apartment with 1K dollars monthly rental bill. She used all of her money all of these years to fix her youth or whatever. But we stayed at that penthouse until I was in Junior high. And, he was the same age as me and hated me because my mother eyed his father who was the billionaire CEO. Since Mom likes money and beauty. Seeing his handsome father, my Mom felt uncontrollable greed and, as a result, she ended up trying to seduce him.Althou

    And I gasped awoke when someone shook my body abruptly. I looked around and I found myself in the bed that I stayed in last night. The beautiful luxury room belongs to My Stepdad. However, I realized the outside is still dark and I am being called by no one but my Mom herself. The hell! What is she doing here? I wondered as I wiped my saliva on the corner of my lips. Gross. " Why are you here?" I asked stupidly although I knew this is her husband's house and she has every right to come here. But I didn't expect her to be here." That's my question. Why are you in my husband's private Villa?" What is she talking about? Didn't she know about it when I moved in?" I brought her here." Our attention goes on Vasquez who enters the room, wearing sweatpants and a Tee. He looks like a male protagonist from Kdrama. Lol. Am I going crazy as Olivia did? I hope not. But I truly can say that he looks hot. Is it weird to find my stepdad hot? I hope not." Honey! I missed you!" She extended her

    To be honest, in this house, I can get perfect sleep. Not saying that I didn't have any sleep at my old house. But it's not the same. There, I had to sleep past midnight after cleaning the house so that I didn't have to be late for my part-time Jobs. And had to wake up before sunrise so that I didn't have to be late preparing breakfast for Mom. At 6 a.m., she usually went jogging, so I had to prepare her juice and detox water. At exactly 7 am she needed her breakfast and my work time was 8 am. Overall, I was on the run to finish all the chores before heading out. So I never had a good sleep.However, Here, I like to sleep. Although I wake up early. The fresh air and the scent of blooming flowers add to the refreshment." Young Miss!" I turned when Aunt Anne called me from my room. Right now, I am enjoying the beautiful sunrise from the second floor. " Aunt Anne! Do you need something?" I asked walking towards her. " No. I don't need anything. I noticed you in the garden.

    " You said you are the best athlete in your school. But I think you are a weak-kneed girl!" Although his facial muscles don't move as he keeps a forever poker face, I can feel the mockery in his words. " You just need a suit but wasting three hours, just changing stores? On top of that, every collection you are looking at is for females! Are you sure you want to buy clothes for yourself or you have gotten a mistress in secret?" I said frustratedly. This is the Fourth store where we are standing. And I am the one who is being used as a model for his choosing women's clothes. That's weird. He won't buy clothes for Mom, that I am pretty sure. " You know what?" He turns and throws another dress on me " You talk like a brat who became mature before she should be. Now go and try this!" " Hell No. I am not going to try this. This is too revealing. I can't wear high heels too!" I grunted. This man, I want to add him to my list of bad people." One minute." he showed his wristwatch to r

    " Did you bring her with you? Vasquez!" A soft voice came from behind like the sweet melody of a grandma who sings songs for their grandchildren. Like I used to hear when I was with my grandparents in my hometown. Both of us turned and looked at the person who was walking towards us, with her slow steps. The sound of the white cane which she is supporting, proves her excitement. She has been waiting for someone. Vasquez is supposed to bring her here. But, I don't think it's me she is waiting for. Am I the one?" She is the girl. Grandma. I brought her here!" Vasquez helped her to walk toward me. Her beautiful blue eyes are kinda of blurry because of her age. But her gorgeous appearance resembles Vasquez. He got her Gene with no doubt." My Gosh. You are pretty now. When I met you in that cinema Hall, you were a tiny and cute girl!" Her trembling hands reached my face, gently stroking my cheeks as if she had been missing me. What's with this closeness? Do I know her?" Why are you

    [ Narrator's P . O. V]" Keep everything secret. Don't tell anyone about my situation!" Getting out of the cab, Leona almost pleaded. Blake was with her the entire time and she didn't want him to tell her situation to anyone. However, Blake released a sharp sigh when she said that. " I assume that something big happened to you. But I have no idea what's going on with you! Your doctor didn't let me know about your situation!" He confessed, kindly revealing disappointment in his tone. But his face turns gloomy when he notices her relieved expression." Thank God! Anyway, Thanks for today. You helped me a lot. You should go back home. It's already dark!" She said heading towards the door." Whose house is it?" he questioned scanning the enormous house." Someone I know." She replied nonchalantly." What about your old house?" He wondered..." What do you mean?" Leona knows that he is aware of her situation. Even moved out of the old house when she grew up with her parents. But asking

    " You sure you are going to transfer to JK International High School?" A gasp of excitement escaped from Olivia when she found out about Leona transferring schools. She knows very little about Leona's personal life. However, she knows what a good friend and coworker is supposed to know." Yeah," Leona replies shortly. " Oh God. This is not normal as I heard. They don't accept transfer students in the middle of the semester. You are already preparing for the entrance exam. That's miraculous." Leona is aware of this matter too. Judging by the principal's reaction to Vasquez, she already knew she would be a student there even if it was against protocols!" Well, Congrats. You will get a taste of rich people's schools. I heard they are very competitive but egoist. So, be careful!" Olivia warned since it's not new that scholarship students face the rude spoiled children's rude behavior.

    The pairs of eyes meet when Both of them get out of the rooms. Their eyes look at each other, observing lovingly." Here is our perfect couple! Wow. The couple dresses are perfect on them!" She walks out. Her figure is gracefully adorned in a floor-length, ebony gown, its fabric glistening with a subtle sheen. The dress accentuates her slender frame, with a plunging neckline that draws attention to her décolletage, and a tasteful side slit revealing a hint of her leg. Her shoulders are bare, giving a hint of her attractive frame. Vasquez's eyes don't retreat, watching the alluring girlfriend whose appearance dims every single thing in this room. Shining, glistening like his only wishing star who he has as him forever. Her eyes are reflecting the shock after seeing the person she adores so much in that crisp, onyx black shirt which is tailored to fit snugly on his body, and broad shoulders without any problems. The Rolex watch, the styled hair and black framed sunglasses, everything

    "Nobody told me that today is your birthday. That's bad!" Leona pouts, kinda disheartened by everyone that nobody let her know about Vasquez's birthday. She might have prepared something for him beforehand. However, what is done is done. She wants to buy something for him...But...Vasquez is too stubborn to let her go now.

    When they handed the passport and two tickets to her hands, she confusedly looked at them. " How?"" Shall we go? Let's go somewhere beautiful!" A wave of unwillingness and fear work within her, somehow she is thinking negatively about this journey since they are so into taking her abroad or somewhere. It would be better if they took her to Vasquez than wasting time somewhere else." We are returning home anytime the next day? right?"She asked when she saw the returning ticket.

    " You don't want to work anymore! Did something happen?" Rick, her Boss questions as she asks to quit the job. Leona shakes her head while sipping her smoothie. She doesn't want to talk about it. Still, she needs to give some excuse to quit the job that she has been working for a long time." It's very personal. I don't want to say the reason. I will work till Thursday. Please don't tell anyone about my leaving the job!" She requests as she knows Vasquez will eventually find out if she tells anyone. " Is it because of Our Boss? He wants you to stop working!"

    At evening...In a luxurious VIP suite, two people are sitting on the bed tucking themselves inside the blanket. The orange hue of the evening sky is peeking through the transparent curtains, making them frown from time to time. One of them is too speechless to form any correct words out and another one is still too drunk to understand the situation. " I... I think it's a mistake... We shouldn't have..."
