"HOW was your first day, Miss?"
Lucy then poured some lemonade in a glass and served it to me, "It was fine, I guess. But it somehow felt.. different,"
"The only explanation is because you were seated next to the young Master, heh?" Huh? How did she know that?
"If the young Miss is asking how I found out, the Shadow Luinor watching over the Miss has reported. Well, maybe because I coaxed one of them to tell me if something spicy was to happen," what kind of spicy sauce does she want?! Eek! She's really asking for it!
"You know that's an invasion of privacy, right?"
"And doesn't the Miss know that, that also is also how my ship sails?" Curse her sharp-witted tongue!
"Fine, where's Caspian right now?" I asked.
"Miss, have you forgotten? The young Master went with Miss Ione and young Master Leander to the Mall. You were tired so you decided not to go," just what the hell
A MONTH and a half has passed away, the riling students of the class have clashed time and time again for the glory of the top. But to no luck, their struggle was in vain. I came out at the top, flowing with achievements, sealing the highest GPA in the whole Academy. A flawless score of 100% in all of my subjects. Caspian snagged the second top spot despite being a person from another world, he was a total novice in our world but he climbed the top with no moments to spare.Cryx who wasn't even interested in academics, miraculously became the 3rd in the class for who knows how. He rarely studies and spends most of his time flirting with girls,just when will he ever learn?!Anyway, the attempted kidnapping of Ione was a dead end. The Police reported that it was anonymous employer and their traces could not be tracked down. But it just doesn't make sense when the men I questioned told me that there was definitely a person who h
"WELCOME esteemed students, teachers, parents, and fellow colleagues! It is an honor to have all of you here for the Cultural and Sports festival. This remarkable and well established tradition of our school have signified peace and friendship for years, sharing the joy and pride of the school's aces to rival each other for fun and make significant memories. I am Ezra Velga, the Student Council President of Sage Academy. Today stands the tradition within our school, we value friendship, passion and a good little competition. I won't be taking much of your time since we all came here to gain new experiences and be in awe of the students' performances. And so, I hope you all an event that you'll never forget! Thank you."Ezra finished his welcome speech in the Function Hall and everyone applauded. I pleaded Brother to attend this glorious occasion despite his hectic schedule, I just wanted him to unwind for a little, even if it's just for a day. It'll do
"LADIES and Gentlemen, boys and girls of all stages, welcome once again! I'm sure that all of you had a wonderful time watching and cheering for your students during the Sports Festival earlier this morning, I am sure that all of you are proud to be witnesses of the student's progress. Now, for today's final act is a theatrical production is headed by the Theatre Play to end this year's Cultural Festival..." And I lost track of what Ezra was saying."Is he always this good with impromptu speeches?" Caspian whispered in my ear."Yeah, it's his gift." I shrugged."No wonder, his President position doesn't serve him justice." I chuckled.He really noticed that? Haha!"Psst, Navier, where did you
IT was Saturday, everything seemed peaceful inside the manor but I can sense the heavy atmosphere lingering around Brother. He was all alone in his study, working like a machine gun to finish all his duties. I'm really worried for him. I didn't tell him about what happened during the night of the Cultural Sports Festival, I don't want to complicate things even further when he's already eating more than he can chew.My Brother puts his family, the organization and the country first before himself. I really admire him a lot, he's not the perfect person but he's trying to be. He carries a lot of burden and I really wanna help him by shutting down that d*mn organization."Ria!"Oh, "Caspian? What is it?" I asked him.
"WELCOME to Skylight Resto! Oh, Welcome Miss Adharia, a pleasure to serve you again!""Thank you for your hardwork everyone!" I thanked them and their faces brightened."Uhm.. Miss Adharia, is he your boyfriend? He's a famous Celebrity-Athlete, isn't he?" One of the Waitresses I'm close with asked, I glanced at Caspian secretly and he was grinning. "Ah, no. he's just a friend," I explained and shook my head. "Ah, I thought he was your boyfriend Miss. I apologize."Why do they keep asking if Caspian is my boyfriend? It's already the 5th time someone asked today! The first four are from the Company, and now an employee from MY resto? Psht. Can't they mind their own businesses?!"You own this restaurant, right?" Ca
UPON entering the room of Kyro, I sensed a chill down my spine that made me hesitate if I really want to open the door knob. What could await me that troubles me this much? What is this great deal of pressure?"Aren't you gonna opening it, Ria?'"O-Oh! Right, yeah. I'll open it." I heaved a deep breath and opened the door once and for all. Eh? It seems normal.Was I too paranoid or something?"Let's check the room for signs of abnormalities." He said and looked around."What are your cousin's hobbies?" He asks while checking the vase. "As far as I know, he has a knack for reading and ciphers. Since he can't leave his room as much as he wants to, this is all that is required of him." I explained, "H
WHATthe Butler did was unforgivable. He used his power as the Butler over the people working for the Vasquez family house's villa, made contact with a sketchy supplier,andallowed his hatred for non-Valler/Vasquez blood descendants to silently kill my cousin. Just how shameless can be he! I was so mad because of what he did! It makes my blood boil and I wanted to wring his neck so badly! But I couldn't. Because if I did, then that would make me the same as him. What drives me to be different from him is the fact that my blood runs on serving justice, retribution and abiding by the law. Anyway, now that I've told my Brother via phone call, I should be awaiting his action any hour by now. I do all this to punish the wicked and defend the innocent. I'm different from the likes of them. "Hey Ria, do you think that someone will bail the Butler out of prison later?" Caspian asked. "Hm.. I don't think so
I JUSTremembered the underground tunnel or passage or room under the school that Caspian and I discovered during the Cultural Sports Festival. I want to explore and infiltrate it really badly, but Caspian said that we can't barge in since we have no clue on what it is exactly. Well, he does have a point, but I'm just really curious. I kept staring outside the window, longing for its secrets.And remember when I said that Caspian will "betray" me for my plan? Well, I have decided to postpone it for a while since I have now the advantage of knowing the plot of the story in my grasps."Hey, did you hear? Do you think the rumor is true?""Oh! That the Kingstone family is choosing Aurora's fiancé. I heard the two candidates are Kane Sullivan and Jace Zander.""Right! They also say that the Kingstone family prefers Jace better than Kane. Too bad for Kane, he has a huge crush on Aurora right?"
"NO WAY!Listen to this, ahem! My face is like an exam, people don't even want to look or think about it!" Ione said in a high pitched voice, as if squealing to get everyone's attention."What? That's the best you can do? Oh please, listen to this! Ahem, Alexa says your broken butt can't even afford me!" Cryx added after he tossed his phone aside in the couch and rolled his eyes sarcastically. Ione got mad and threw a book in his face. Pfft.Classic Ione!"Ugh! So annoying, I can do better!" She countered."Oh, really? Then let's hear it. Maybe you're just all talk and no show!" Cryx smirked and pointed his index finger at her."Just like your flirting skills, your skin is also a failure! Gosh, what lien lotion are you using?" Ione smirked and Cryx trembled. The last thing Cryx wants to hear is someone talking ill about his flirting skills when he's a known playboy. I mean, he dated models and actresse
CASPIAN DE LEON'S POV "Igreet His Highness, the 2nd Prince. I have a message sent by Her Majesty, the Empress." Gleaming in his thick and seemingly impenetrable armor, he glanced at me with his doe eyes as his silky long blond hair tied simply. He is the Captain of the Empress' knightage, Rowan Evans, and my right hand man. "Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. Rowan, aren't you tired of being Her Majesty's obedient dog?" I asked rhetorically and raised my brow. "Your Highness, I am sure that you are aware that Her Majesty has raised me as she has raised you. Loyalty is hard to find, trust is easy to lose, and actions speak louder than words, Her Majesty is my master and so is Your Highness. I owe you my life." Rowan replied evasively, I let out a deep sigh. This sly fox, tsk! "Fine. So what did my Mother say? More orders, I presume?" I a
ADHARIA NAVIER VASQUEZ-VALLER'S POVA-Ah, brother. I knew it, you kept your promise. I'm so happy, even if I'm tired and in pain, I'm still happy. This was all worth it, thank you."Brother, you came!" I called out with a faint smile, tears welling down my eyes."Of course, I won't make the same mistake twice." He snickered maliciously, glaring at the Lord of Crimes."V-Valler Head! What the?! How is he here?!""Sh*t! We're surrounded!""That b*tch, she used herself as bait! It was her strategy!"That's right suckers! You were caught in 10K! Did you morons really believe I wouldn't let you go? Looks like Haru and I made is so believable credits to our Oscar-award winning acting that had you all fooled that we really had no choice but to listen to you. There's always a choice, no matter how dire."I didn't expect as much, doesn't this count as a clash of organizati
ITwas late in the evening, we received phone calls from the Vernandez, Vincent, and Vega Households regarding the matter. My brother assured them that he'll do whatever he can to bring them home unscathed, not only reassurance, but he's bringing the entire army with him.Yup, it kinda feels like he's about to bring an apocalypse or the seven deadly wins with him or whatever. No words could describe how terrifying he looks right now, he's about to eat me up alive."Brother, Aunt won't stop crying. You should comfort her," I told him as I sat in an empty couch in front of his gloomy desk."I did." He replied promptly, averting his gaze.He's guilty as charged."Are you feeling guilty?"He didn't bother answer, instead he covered his face and sighed heavily. As I thought, he's blaming himself. "Brother, it's not your fault. No one expected them to have another card up their
"WELCOMEback to Sage Academy, how was your weekend?" Miss Arlert asked the moment she entered the classroom.The rest of us answered that either it was fine or if we enjoyed, but honestly, we weren't all being completely honest with our answers. But as for me, my weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions. Not just my weekend, but my entire week. Caspian and I are stronger than ever, Cryx supported us, and we are aware that Claire was suspicious of Caspian's identity.True enough, Caspian was a character in a novel, and it was a popular novel, so how come nobody is noticing that he looks like the character from the novel? I mean, it literally being sold world wide! I'm confused to the point that I came up with a theory that the answer to that is magic.Crazy right?"Oh my Miss, my Father gave me a private island for my 18th birthday yesterday!" One of our classmates said. Oh, it's her. Eew, you're practically calling
ADHARIA NAVIER VALLER'S POV "MY LADYHari-ah, I have received news that Miss Rohas was seen at the port in the time duration of 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM. I've received news from the informant that the new shipment from Japan has arrived, there are about 7 tanks of cargo. We suspect it's the latest technology from the underground laboratory we've been keeping an eye on." Josh reported. "Oh really? I guess they're also finding a way to re-buildit. Heh, no way! What else? Any more reports?" I asked while swirling my cup of hot cocoa. I love chocolate! And I love chocolate fudge cake! Yummy. "Oh! It seems that there are rumors spreading in the Rohas organization that you were successful to penetrate their defense, they're well aware of your capabilities and how much of a threat you pose. It's only a matter of time before they collapse, they're desperate." He said and I smiled devilishly.Hehe, f
CLAIRE ROSE ROHAS' POVMy name is Claire Rose Rohas. From my name Claire, it meansbright, while Rose meansbeautyandromance. Ever since I was born, I was made to believe that my future would be filled with roses with luxury. After all, I was born in a wealthy family and my parents loved me with all their heart and soul. Everyone kisses up to me because I'm beautiful, talented, and my family is powerful and one of the most wealthiest in the country.I see it, I like it. I like it, I want it. I want it, I got it.That is the usual pattern. Whatever I want, anyone can give it to me. With a smile, kiss and flirt, boys would come running and do my bidding. I'd throw a tantrum and my parents would give in. Power feels great, especially whenyouare power. The way to have power is to take it, and I have the strongest kind. Practically the world should be groveling down my
"Y-You..!"Caspian gasped and gritted his teeth, feeling intimidated."Hoho! That's right, city boy! You wanna fight? Hah, let's do this! Whoever wins will get to have a date with MY lovely Ahdaria!" Seoul challenged him and made a face, Caspian was about to agree when I interrupted."Yeah, no. I have a date with Ecklis, right baby?" I smiled at him and his adorable eyes brightened as his embraced me, "Yup! Yup! You adults can play on your own, what do you need noona for anyway?" He pouted and glared at them."She's my girlfriend.""I'm her friend, she's my employer."Ah, yes. These idiots are really pushing it. "Hmph! I'm noona's nephew, we're blood related! Blood is thicker than water, ya' know," he bragged and kissed my cheek to tease them, Caspian gritted his teeth. Is he for real? Jealous much? And he's just a kid, is he stooping down lower?"Caspian, men don't cry. How disappointing." Eck
OH MY GOSH!I'm freaking out right now! How do I face Caspian? I can't tell Caspian about that kiss, right? I still value my life right? And I don't want Harry to die right? Of course, I'm just going to wing it and if he doesn't get suspicious, then let's YOLO it! I'll try to coax him first, hehe. "Hey, Caspian! Did you wait long? Did it become your habit to visit me every night on my room?" I asked him with a smile, his face suddenly brightened and ran to me with a hug.Aww! He's so romantic. He's sweeter than sugar, meh."Did you wait long?" "Yeah, I did. But I'm okay now, since you're here," he mumbled as he nuzzled his head in my neck and sighed deeply. Wait, his breath is hot, it tickles! "Really? You sound so tired, how about you return to your room?" I suggested as I caressed his back.Come on, take the bait. Take the bait! "No way, you have to tell me about the date first! Where did you go?
