I hadn't taken much steps when I began hearing sniffing sounds from the balcony.I stood rooted to the spot as I wondered what it could be...Since we own any cats or other animals in the house...Then it can only be...Wait, Mali? I quickened my steps at the thought of this... Soon, I arrived at the balcony and as expected, there I found her... Malisa... She had her head down with her long ebony hair covering her face all over... I often wondered why she preferred leaving her hair free when she could just tie them all up in a ponytail...

Her sis Malisa practically blushed all through Breakfast while her brother chuckled multiple times which is really unusual... What's going on? She wondered... Since she didn't want the duo to suspect anything...she didn't interrogate them and allowed it to be. At school, she met up with one of her trusted seniors and inquired of her about what was going... Though, Mary tried as much as possible not to get too close with anyone at school.

" He bowed his head. " It's okay... " " Here's your lunch, President... " He said, placing the lunch box on the table... " So what did you get? "" Hm... Some steak frites, chicken confit and french onion soup.."" Okay... Thank you... You can leave now... " " Okay, President. " He said before leaving the room. While having his meal, Aiden found himself thinking about Malisa and their tea chat tonight.. It was going to be fun... So fun. He resisted the temptation to go over to meet her as soon as possible... But well... He couldn't just leave his job just because he was the CEO... Could he? He has to follow the rules too! No matter how it is! **** Hours later... Mary and Malisa were both in Malisa's room chatting about their day's activities. " Really? Did the

>* There's nothing as tragic as being alive and not enjoying life. *****" It's... Master! " The butler said quickly... " Master? " This time Mary spoke up... Hearing the word master, she felt a tug in her heart... Her brother was the only man in the house and so it can only be him the butler was talking about... Still she felt the urge to confirm." Yes! Master Aiden! "" What happened to him? "" He was in a fatal accident and has now been rushed to the emergency room... " " What! " Both Malisa and Mary Exclaimed in unison... Mary even dropped her phone out of shock... Her brother in an accident? How? When? What happened? Does this explain why she had been feeling uneasy anytime she thought of her brother today?Is that why she had been missing him all along? " Brother, Brother, brother... " Mary's legs lost their strength as she fell to the ground... In tears... No... It can't be! It can't happen again! Her brother can't be in an accident... It must be a lie...

The trio stood up immediately when the door was opened and waited for the doctor to come out... The doctor in charge gave a faint smile when he saw them... " Doctor, how is he? " Mary inquired quickly... Sighing... The doctor replied, his words were contrary to the one they were expecting and it really broke them to hear it... " We managed to remove the bullets... Luckily they weren't shot at his heart... But he lost a lot of blood and would really need a donor... " " A donor? Haven't you contacted the other blood banks in the country? " The PA said. " We have... Unfortunately, they are all out of stock of his particular blood type. " " Don't tell me his blood type is AB negative... " Mary said in horror. " Unfortunately it is. "

" " Yep. So I served there for like 7 years before then traveling to Beijing where I practiced martial arts for 3 years before coming back earlier this year. " " Oh my! So you are 24?

Franchine was responsible for driving Malisa home. The two young ladies were on their way to the car when their road was blocked all of a sudden by some ladies and men. Malisa was indeed surprised at this... She somehow had expected a confrontation but not on the first day... Like today! At least they should be allowed to breathe freely before confronting them... Malisa and Franchine both paused in their steps simultaneously as they awaited the other party's reaction. The other party consisted of three ladies and a man all dressed alike.It goes without saying that there were cult members. And, Malisa wondered what they have got to do with them. Since they never showed signs of being interested in the cult in the first place.So why...Franchine on the other hand wasn't a bit surprised at their confro

Just like her. Those she recognized as black Americans. There were also many Indians and Chinese.There were practically people from different continents...So she didn't feel any awkwardness as she had expected she would feel. Wait, could it be possible that Aiden knew about this fact and that's why he chose this college especially for her and also assured her that she'll be fine. Malisa couldn't help smiling at this thought... She often wondered how caring and loving he could be to her... While all the new students sat in the registration hall waiting for the vice Chancellor of the school to address them...Malisa felt a presence beside her, looking up she saw a young looking lady around her age or above.

She became confident once again and lifted the awards up in the air. " I did it! " Only those who knew of her story would be able to understand the deeper meaning behind her words... Though some other people could feel the intense emotions in those three lettered words too... " Congratulations, Miss Bree... " Another Judge congratulated her too with a smile... " Thanks...

So how is it possible that there's one going on without her knowledge?Well... I guess she had forgotten that she can only know about something that Aiden wanted her to. If he didn't want her to know then there's no way she would. " So what do you think of my surprise? " Aiden's voice Interrupted her from her thoughts. " It's not bad. " She smiled... " I'll take that as a compliment then... " He said parking the car in the parking lot. Just before Malisa could open the door on her side, he had already turned over and helped her to... " Let me.

Malisa, who was wearing a simple flare gown and sandals, walked ahead of Aiden to the car.Unlike other days, Aiden was putting on something more casual... Just a simple Chelsea shirt and pants... His hair was combed very nicely making him look very young and dashing... He didn't look like the usual way he does today.Rather he looked like a college student who was going out on a date. Though the aura of the Presidency was still there... Well... It's not like he could let go of it just because he wanted to anyways... The duo stopped in front of a blue Jeep... Aiden had decided that he was going to take it out that day as it's been a while since he last took the vehicle out for a ride... " The car looks very new Indeed.
