LUCIA'S POV

I was about stepping out of my room all dressed up thinking of going to Penny's place. I just saw the news and I know she'll be heartbroken right now but someone knocked on my door. I walked to the door and opened it.

"Dad?" What's he doing here? I thought he was preparing for his business trip.

"May I?" He asked with a smile. Dad's smiling at me this afternoon, what's the cause of this mood? Am I safe?

"Sure." I opened the door wider and stepped aside for him to walk in. He did and sat on my bed, I stared at him nonplussed. When was the last time dad walked in my room?

    TANIA'S POVI held my breath as she stared down at Alex's hair. She didn't see it right? I watch her stretch out her hand to Alex's hair and I momentarily freezed, preparing for the worst. "How did this happen Alex?" She asked as her eyes stared down at a particular place in worry. I looked down and noticed she was looking at the slight cut at the back of Alex's neck, slightly below her right ear. I heaved a sigh of relief in my mind and quickly let her hair fall back, covering the mark. I made it fall in a way that Elle could still see the scratch on the other side. "That was my nails, I had scratched my neck unconsciously one night at my aunt's last week. Didn't know the mark is still visible." Alexis said staring at us from the mirror. "Oh sorry. Be careful with your finger nails next time okay?" She nodded. "I'll treat that for you Immediately Tania is through with your hair. You shouldn't have scars on your body." Elle said as she walked back to her closet. The way she loves

    JADE'S POV I stared up at the blue sky with a smile as the wind caressed the bare aspect of my skin. Since my second encounter with miss mysterious, I haven't been myself. Raphael made it worse by constantly telling me to go to her. How can I do that when I'm still nursing my broken heart? Well, truth be told since my second encounter with her, life's been meaningful.

I stalked her one day and discovered she's studying in the same department as Cilia and she's very close with the DSD girls. And I figured they were the ones she was telling her dad about on phone that day. I looked down from my elevated spot and surveyed the calm vicinity of the Royal hills again.

When I mentioned her getting back at Diva for taking her fame, crush and friend she didn't seem concerned about it. But up till last month, she was still notorious as ever.

    LUCIA'S POV I walked into Balmont's cafe and saw her already seated there. I stride over to her and sat down. The only reason I'm here is because of the fact that she'd mentioned Diva's name. Johnny also said to come and see what she's up to."Oh you are here." She smiled while I just stared at her."Why's this place quiet and devoid of customers?" I asked, as I scanned around. "I bought it for a few minutes so I can have a quiet conversation with you. Don't worry, I also took care of the CCTV." She said and I couldn't help but scoff. Whatever she wants to say must be pretty illegal..."How long has it been? Nine years? It's really good to see you again Lucia. You look much more matured and way prettier than I last remembered." She said smilingly and I rolled my eyes away. She didn't change, still really slender with her mother's brunette hair although I noticed she dyed some part of it to blonde.
