Royal Empire University Twenty-Five: Daniel's ex
LUCIA'S POVOkay, so this is her? The one who made Dan miserable and far from girls? I stared at her photo in my hand, eyeing her with hate, the only girl Dan ever dated.Who would have thought this popular pop singer, ever dated Dan. Both of them were very secretive in their relationship, that's why I never knew until now.Ever since I was 18, I had always thought Dan was single but he was not, he was dating this gold freak. I scoffed.All about her was gold_gold hair, gold eyes even her name too is Goldie, most of her wears too were gold colours. Presently she's dating the president's second son, Xavier.She's the reason why Dan is acting so cold towards me. Hmm, even after she left him, his heart still holds a place for her. I'm jealous, really jealous right now but then, it's a good thing she's out of the way now. At least I should get close to him and help him heal first, that way he'll get to love me too. I noticed Dan's cold to all females, it's better that way, now I can relax
Royal Empire University Twenty-six: Birthmark
TANIA'S POV "Awwnn, they are so adorable." I gushed. Mr Andre the gardener smiled. He's a nice man and had given me a tour round the garden while explaining the different types of flowery plants I saw. My last stop was at the Jade Vine plant, one of the most rarest plants on earth. It's so spectacular just as Elle had said. Mr Andre said, they were mostly used as ornamental plants and decorative climbing plants due to their striking colours, with long stems that can reach up to 18m in length. There were different colors of them, but I found the Red Jade Vine most adorable, probably because red is my favorite color. "The botanical name of this Red Jade vine is mucuna bennettii," he said. "Mucuna bennettii, nice." I repeated with a smile. "Come my daughter, there's one more plant you haven't seen yet, the most rarest in the world, you'll love it." He's an elderly man probably in his late fourthies so yeah, he could birth my age. "Really?" I asked with wide eyes. He nodded. I quick
Royal Empire University Twenty_Seven: To remember her
DANIEL'S POV I pressed the elevator button, it opened and I stepped in. Thankfully I'm the only occupant in it. I feel so irritated right now all thanks to Dad and his dumb idea. I don't even know what instigated him to pronounce such unreasonable gibberish. Now this unwanted sly of a girl won't stop meddling in my ways. Just one question I asked and she already fumbled, proving to me she wasn't any different from Goldie whom she was insulting. Gosh! How I wish we never crossed paths. The elevator stopped at the third floor where I wanted it to. I pressed the button and the door opened, I stepped out and stomped off to the gym. Jay texted me earlier that he was here. Don't know why though, it's a Monday not a weekend. Something must be wrong. My anger dissipated to worry Immediately I walked in and sighted Jay doing the sit-up bench with rope and dumbbells gymnastic. He only does this workout when he's angry or sad. I ran to him Immediately, his expression was clouded, not the u
Royal Empire University Twenty-Eight: Meeting again
*Three days later*JAY'S POV I sat on the couch silently watching him clean the living room, thinking of what I'll do if I found him guilty. He didn't come to work on Monday and Wednesday but he came on Tuesday.If not for the fact that I left home very early on that Tuesday because of the very important lecture I was having, he wouldn't be here today. I was waiting for him to finish up so we could talk. Dan and Roe were out. I stayed back today because of this. I didn't tell Dan what I suspect, he would flare up and act rashly, Roe's aware though.I did as Dan advised, I stayed away from Saline and made sure we didn't cross paths even though I miss seeing her beautiful face. I believe when we'll finally meet again, it'll be pleasant but that'll be probably next week. She needs time huh? I'm giving her enough time.I watched him push his cart to the bedroom, that was when I suddenly remembered I saw Diva's photo on Daniel's bedside table earlier. He must have forgotten to return it
Royal Empire University Twenty-Nine: Go back on your words, Father.
DANIELLE'S POVIs this really the Daniel I know? Like what? I reached out my hand and retrieved the hanky. After wiping my face quickly, I asked."What are you doing here?" I was still doubting the possibility of him really being here."What's the name of this place?" He retorted, drawing out a seat. Oh, The King's Coffee Palace, I see. I eyed him meticulously as he sat down opposite me."Why are you sitting down here?" I asked again. He chuckled. What? He chuckled? Such beautiful sound coming from such beautiful face. His deep dimples revealed. Oh my! I really wanna touch them. So adorable. If this a dream, please I don't wanna wake up.'Snap out of it Elle! Stop acting so smitten.' My subconscious chided.'But I am smitten!' I retorted."Because I have the right to sit wherever I want." He smiled proudly.Proud, beautiful Jerk!"deo jaju us-eoya haeyo jal eoullineun geos gat-ayo(you should smile more often, it looks good on you)" I muttered in Korean."What?" He asked. Oh thank good
Royal Empire University Thirty: Reporting the Queenbee
JAY'S POVI hummed softly as I guided my car into his car park just as a notification appeared on my phone's screen. I parked my car carefully and picked up my phone.VICE CHANCELLOR'S SON, JOHNNY DAVIS HOSPITALIZED BY BANDITS. The headline stated.Wow! What? Isn't that the guy that started the meme on Lucia? Seems like he was handsomely rewarded.I clicked on the headline while stepping out of my car: Johnny Davis, a year four Medical student of Royal Empire University was attacked by bandits on his way back from school to his off campus apartment yesterday morning. Johnny is presently hospitalized due to the severe beatings he received from the bandits. Presently, investigations are still ongoing as a member of the bandits is already in police custody.

I closed my car door and walked to the entranc
Royal Empire University Thirty One: Remembering her
CILIA'S POV "It's so beautiful Elle, I'm telling you honestly." Tania gushed as we admired the beautiful, adjustable, luxury silver bracelet with lavender colours on each flower shaped spot of it."Yeah it's so adorable and the design is so unique. Your mom's bracelets are always the best Elle. But this was specifically designed for one person, you can't find this exact design anywhere in the world. So unique and it's definitely a trackable one like it predecessors." I said with a smile."Thanks girls. But I think I'll gift it to Alex, I have a lot of this already." She said."Are you sure about that?" Nia and I asked simultaneously as we looked at her."Yeah, besides she'll be needing stuff like this once we announce her to the world. Her security and all, begins to matter. You get what I'm saying right?""That's true," Nia said as she glanced at our friendship yet trackable bracelet on her left wrist. Mine was on my right wrist, Elle was putting on hers on her right wrist, with two
Royal Empire University Thirty Two: The New girl
KIM LISA'S POVI walked into the arrival lounge, dragging my luggage behind as I scanned around for the boys. My eyes were greeted by the sight of the large crowd of people at the arrival. Who else would this be for if not...'Fast girl! It's DJR Idols, they are here!' A young girl shrieked to her partner as they ran towards the screaming and squealing crowd.Oh well, should have thought of that.'Isn't that Singer Jay's sister?' Someone said.'OMG! It's Queen Lisa in the building.''My idol, I love you Kim Lisa!''I'm looking forward to your next dance video beautiful.''My idol, my model. You are too beautiful!''Queen beauty is here people!''Can I have an autograph please?'Many of them were saying excitedly as cameras flashed and another level of crowd gathered. I smiled and waved at everyone, stylishly whispering through the earpiece in my ear to my head guard that was waiting for my arrival to send some guards over. I need to escape the crowd of fans around.I smiled at the l

Royal Empire University Eighty-Three: Rescuing Ariel
#NEXT MORNING ALEXIS'S POV I peeled my eyes open slowly and frowned upon seeing my environment and situation. My eyes widened more when I recalled what happened. 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. I'm scared...Oh don't be scared Alexis, Diva would come to rescue you. She's your angel remember?I looked down at my other wrist and smiled secretly. The bracelet I promised never to takeoff was still there. Oops! But I lost Candy's
Royal Empire University Eighty-Two: Searching for Alexis
NARRATIVECarl stared at his laptop in confusion, as he watched the goons carried the unconcious looking girl out of the black jeep and into the already ready orange coloured chopper. Seems they were too late. Of course, he did successfully tracked down the vehicle but what's the point of sending the guards after them when the chopper is already taking off into the sky? Leaving behind the empty vehicle.Several maids and workers stood around in worry as they whispered to themselves.Ahh, Mrs Hannah is present too. She ran over immediately Alexis's school notified her of the child's abduction.Carl looked backwards at the perplexed Jay and Kim Lisa for suggestion.Jay was walking up and down the living room as he made a call, his hand raking his blonde hair at intervals. Kim fondle her nails as she looked down at the laptop."What do you think we should do? We can't possibly send guards over there, the chopper took off already." He said as he looked at her."That's right, I'll call th
Royal Empire University Eighty-One: Finding Danielle.
CILIA'S POVWhat does Kim mean by Alexis not being at home?I quickly took out my phone and began dialing Antonio's number, while casting my eyes out the car window at Jay.He was just stepping out of the ice cream shop, his right hand was holding the ice cream bag and his other was holding his phone to his ear. 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?! Where's he?""They were found lying unconscious at the lavatory and are presently receiving instant treatment at the school's clinic. We are deeply sorry for such inconvenience." She said and I panicked more as I felt a

LUCIA'S POV "Thanks so much for your time Professor Adams." I said smilingly as I made my way out of his cozy office."Anytime Queen Lucy." He smiled and I waved and walked out.As I took the elevator back to the last floor, I smiled as I stared at her personal contact in my phone. With this I know she'll forgive me totally, Diva's so broad hearted.Oh my gosh! I should hurry before that silly girl does something I'm very sure she'll regret.The door opened and I made my way quickly to the car park. Typing away on my phone... DANIELLE'S POVI nod my head as I hummed along to the classical music playing on my car stereo.I was heading back home after buying the gorgeous white poodle for Alexis. I can't wait to see the smile on her face when she sees it. The thought of that is making me smile already as I look sideways at the adorable little poodle beside me.The girls are still in school I think and Alexis should be home already, it's few minutes past her closing hours.As I sang a
Royal Empire University Seventy-Nine: Alexis, kidnapped
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. I've been so busy these few weeks that I've been off the internet.I came upon several headlines and I was beyond shocked.CAMPUS QUEEN APOLOGIZES TO ALL STUDENTS REMORSEFULLY THROUGH CAMPUS RADIOQUEEN LUCIA SUDDENLY W
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
Royal Empire University Seventy-Seven: Diva's ominous feeling
DANIELLE'S POVEveryone sat down for breakfast at the dinning table. We were all dressed up as it's a Monday and we all have classes. 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
