Royal Empire University Twenty Two: The grey-eyed girl
DANIELLE'S POVI walked out of the campus cathedral with Tania as we laughed over something a guy walking with his friends said. Cilia must have waited a lot.We took a turn to the car park. "We must have kept Lia waiting for so long, let's hurry up and go meet her." Tania said as though she read my mind."Yeah. Although I won't be heading home straight, I want to visit a place." I said and she glanced at me."The beach?" "Yes, I need to clear my head and think about this latest occurrence." She nodded."That's right, you need to even if it's a bit of a distance." Tania said The nicest beach in terms of temperature will take about an hour's drive. We walked into the car park towards the area we parked our cars only to see Lia leaning on her car and looking so stunned. Is that a scarf I see on her? She wasn't with anything like a scarf earlier, even when I asked her to cover herself properly before coming to church due to the cold, she'd refused. So where did that come from? And
Royal Empire University Twenty Three: Her Jealousy
JADE'S POV I walked into the science library where I know she'll be at, thinking of millions of ways to win her heart. If only Elle can return my love, I'll be the happiest man on earth. It's a Monday afternoon and she usually spend such period at the science library. It's been her habit since I know her, except something comes up. "Hey Jade," A friend and colleague of mine said as soon as he saw me. He was walking out of the library just as I was entering. "Hey bro, what's up?" We slapped hands together."I'm good man, I see you came to see your babe." He said with a knowing smile as he looked behind him. I followed his gaze and saw Elle sitting at her usual spot in the library, her head bent over the book on her desk with her laptop facing her. She was putting on her reading glasses, her eyes puckered in concentration."Ah hahaha....I will see you later Neo." I laughed slightly."Sure bro." We slapped hands again, before parting ways.I walked over to her side of the library."R

Ahh, I forgot he's also in Business Adminstration department like his friend.But why is he standing before me right now and smiling without saying a word for over thirty seconds? 'from now on, we'll be seeing each other constantly.' His words rang in my memory.Okay, but why?I put my phone into my waist coast pocket as I stared at him. Yes, I didn't forget to cover up properly today, lesson already learnt."Uhmmm, excuse me." I said after another thirty seconds of him looking down at me with that heart breaking smile of his. Some students were still squealing and shrieking. I think I saw some videoing secretly. What's their problem anyway? Well I don't blame them, I'm almost drooling myself, if not that I'm still somewhat jealous due to the photos I saw earlier.But Lia, what's wrong with you anyway? Leave since he doesn't have anything to say other than to

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.

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 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.

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?

He said as he looked at her."That's right, I'll call th

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."

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...

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

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
