She suddenly smiled and I looked at the girls in confusion, they both had same confused expression as me."Hanna can you please enlighten us on what you just said?" Saline asked as she leaned forward beside me."Black Diva's done a lot for me and my family. If this is the little I can do to help her and you kind girls, I'd do that.

She said and we smiled."A week before my sister died last December, she had called me privately and made me sit by her bedside in her hospital room and had told me the things I'll be sharing with you now." She said and we listened with rapt attention and extreme curiosity."Ten years ago my sister got pregnant for a black American man who was her boyfriend whom she thought loved her and would get married to her when he hears the good news.

Ferdinand told me he was talking with a girl and directed me on where I'll see them. After walking down briefly, I came upon him having a heated conversation with Suzy. Yeah, he had shown me her picture. The good thing was that I'm thankful to Kim because my Korean is now very much better. I could understand almost all words in Korean now and speak fluently a little. I'm not yet perfect in it.I was so happy when I heard Jay defending me and still professing his love for me even when I wasn't there. It made me realize that I'd never have any reason to regret my decision with him. What got me angry was when I discovered she was trying to blackmail Jay, but then she's so clueless because she thinks he's dumb.So here am I right now, smirking at her as she tried to wiggle free from my tight grip. She thinks she can just throw her palm easily over my face..."naega ne

I sat up quickly and looked around the unpleasant old looking warehouse. Goons stood around watching me strictly.I became scared upon realizing that I've been kidnapped. Oh no! I lost Candy's gift bracelet. I said within me on looking at my wrist and not finding the rainbow colored, leather bracelet she gifted me on our parting.Wait! Why am I here anyway? Why would someone kidnap me within the vicinity of my school? Everyone must be scared right now; Hector, Aunt Hanna, Diva and the DSD girls, including those handsome idols.It's a pity I didn't get to see Diva's surprise.

Seems like he's on a call...I returned my attention to the call, the phone's been ringing for a while now but he ain't picking up...Panick already set in as I placed a call again, it rang and just when I thought no one's gonna answer, it connected."Where have you been Antonio? I've been calling for ages?!" I yelled."I'm sorry Ma'am but this ain't the guard speaking. This is the vice principal of Haley's Comprehensive school..." A lady's voice said."What?!

ELINA'S POVI entered my car and the guard closed the door after me. I touched my cheek in disbelief, Lucia slapped me! Well I pushed her too far by talking about her mom in that regard but she caused it.What am I missing? When did she suddenly changed? Something doesn't feel right. 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. She had even hired goons to beat up a medical student who had made a mocking meme of her, till he was hospitalized. So why's she acting differently now, I thought she would be excited like she used to be? Did she change?I sighed and brought out my phone and began to surf their student website for any updates about her.

Royal Empire University Seventy-eight: Meeting an ex-bestfriend. Alexis in danger
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. Her dress style was like that of a total badass girl."Look Lucia, I'm really sorry f

I settled for toasted bread and milk, Alexis was having cereals, Lia and Kim were having noodles and Tania settled for pancakes with a glass of orange juice. We ate in silence, while I kept my eyes on Tania's waterfall braid, it really looks pretty on her. Carl would be returning to South Korea soon, he told me in our chat yesternight."Are we practicing today girls?" Kim suddenly asked, looking up at me in particular. "We didn't practice for some time now due to Lia's birthday and Jay's concert. So I guess we should." I said shruggingly. They all nodded approvingly and continued eating. I smiled and looked at Alex beside me, she just dropped her spoon."Thanks everyone. I'll head for school now." She said smilingly."Okay Alex, do take care alright?" The girls said and she nodded.I stared silently at her for a while wondering about this ominous feel
