" Despite being annoyed at him, she still raised up her tear-filled eyes to look at him... Aiden raised his hands and used it to wipe out her tears before raising up her chin to look at him... " Do you remember... How you used to take chocolate bars from my bag and I'll still put another one there despite knowing that you are always taking them? " " Yes, Brother... You often scold me for eating too much chocolate... Yet, you would always give in to me whenever I cry for one... " " Hm... Do you recall when you ended up throwing up all over me when you were sick? " " I do, brother... Then I had thought you would scold me to death. Yet you didn't, rather, you simply changed your clothes and took care of me... " Mary's eyes were filled with nostalgia. " And when you fractured your ankles from

>* The real definition of insanity According to Einstein is to do the same thing and expect a different result. *****Malisa had just woken up from her slumber when Aiden and Mary entered the hospital room where she was. " Sis...." Mary ran towards her bed when she saw her eyes opening... " Hey... " Malisa said in a whisper as she tried to regain all her memories from earlier... " I told you I'll be fine, didn't I? " She smiled at Mary." You did... But you were out for almost twelve hours, sis! " Mary said emotionally... " But I am awake now, alright? " " You are... " " Hm, Mali...

" Well... " " Don't mind him, sis... He's always acting like a Superman who doesn't need to rest well even after a surgery... " " That's a mean thing to say to your brother, Mary... " " Oh... " Mary paused before turning to face her brother. " So sorry about that, Bro... "" It's okay... " " You know sometimes, I wonder if you too are really siblings or father and daughter. " Malisa commented... " Well... Lots of people say that too, I guess it's due to the 16yrs age gap between us... " " Yeah... Nevertheless, it's still very cool... " " I guess...

>* Remember this, you are far more powerful and capable than you know. ****** Aiden suddenly had sudden thoughts... If Malisa could make his heart stop with her voice, what more? Wouldn't she capture more hearts when she becomes a celebrity then? Does that mean she'll have more admires and fans then? And it will include men? He had seen many celebrities being loved by both men and women... He had even heard of a celebrity who fell in love with one of her biggest fans who had always paid attention to her and loved and admired her from afar... The many thoughts that ran through his mind made him wonder if he'll be able to entertain all that... Because right now, according to law, Malisa was his wife... [ A/N : Oops, did I just let that little detail, slip? ] Though he had a feeling that he'll be able to control his possessiveness when that time comes....So why not just go with the flow in the main time and leave all that for the future?"

At least you'll have something to serve as a warning next time you want to have an argument with your best friend. " " That's really mean. "" It wasn't meant to make you feel better, really... Just try to work things out with your best friend... Apologize to her and talk to her about this, okay? "" Well... I'll try. "" That's the spirit. " " Hm... Btw, what's your work in our school? " Mary had always been curious about this as the latter was always around... " I work here as a student's counselor. "" Oh wow. Really? "" Yep...

She thought long and hard before replying to him, rather thoughtfully... As she knew that her answer mattered to him a lot...She could tell from his expression when he asked that question. Well... She had learned to read expressions and also the eyes..There's a saying that, The body could lie but the eyes doesn'tIt reflects one's feelings and expression.

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.

" 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.
