I keep her calm. I told her I will stop JL from posting anything on the school group chat. I have given Corrine hope before telling her goodbye. All the while Keach couldn't stop staring at me. She has a surprise expression on her face. Obviously thinking where I have got the courage from.

" what is going on Dahlia? This JL you are preparing to go against is the don of a quintillionaire. His father is that great man Lawn. Do you have any slightest idea how much you are risking your whole family for this girl Corrine? " After Corrine left our room feeling quite relieved Keach ask me this. She didn't wait for me to reply before she continues. " You should stay away from JL dahlia. That guy won't spare you. He is so capable of... "

" I don't have any intention to go into a war with him. I do not have any intention to... Fight with him financially Keach. I just want to beg him not to post that video of Corrine " I replied softly as I look up to Keach. Obviously no one, not a small single student knows I got my step dad as back up. I wonder how everyone would behave once the truth emerges. " I hold no grudges against JL. No at all "

Of course I would never hold grudges against the guy I still love. JL would never be replaced by anyone. I couldn't dream of being into a fight with him. He has torment me all through and I have nothing more to say for it. He needs my apology over and over again.

I am interrupted by my cellphone which rang out this time. I almost jumped at the loud ring. Immediately I rushed to my bag and pulled my mobile out. At the screen It displayed ' mum '

A sigh escaped my lips when I realized the bitter truth. I haven't put a call to my mother or father this morning. Great! I pray I won't get scolded this time.

I answered the call and waited a little before speaking soberly.

" Hello mum "

" Dahlia? Oh goodness you pick up this time. I have been calling but you only choose to ignore or should I say you are too busy "

" The latter mother. I would never ignores your call. I am sorry that I caused worries for you "

" Say that to lawn who has been trying to get to you " She replied smoothly and I bite my lower lips.

" Is he there with you? "

" Yeah. He just got here actually to take me out. I will hand over the cellphone to him now "

Seconds passes by and soon my dad's voice came through. Though he isn't near me physically, I know he is kinda upset thanks to his firm tone.

" How is your first day in FFC? '' He asked and I smile gently to myself.

" It's.. fine. I'm still getting to know the vicinity though "

" I got it "

" Dad I'm sorry " I finally apologized as I couldn't deal with his cold tone anymore. " I should have call, yeah. I'm sorry "

My step father turns out to be as hard as his son. He didn't speak for sometime then he grunted softly.

" It's okay. I will call you myself in the evening. By the time now I see it's time for sport in FFC. Make sure you go for it. Choose swimming. It's the best "

" Swimming? But dad.." my step father has already disconnected. I dropped the cellphone and stare blankly at the screen. " But dad I can't swim " I whispers to myself but no one answered me.

On the screen of my cellphone I saw I have got multiple missed calls from my mum and a strange contact. I lifted up my eyebrows at this and I dail the contact again but no one responds even after the third ring.

I decided to let the unknown caller be. It might be a mistake. It happens all the time. I turn to Keach who has now retired to her laptop, busy with her project but I know half of her attention is on me.

" I should go for sport Keach since my dad also is interested in it. Do you know what JL does? His sport. I could talk to him after the training "

Keach dropped what she was doing to grace me with her attention.

" I Don't think you will be able to see JL. He goes for swimming but I can't guarantee you that JL will be in sight. You might be lucky though. You can use your GPS for the way. That will help "

I smile gently at her and headed at once out of the room. I didn't mind the dress I wore. After all I know I will have to change once I get to the pool.

Thanks to my cellphone, I could locate the training section in no time and without stress.

FFC is greatly built with so much wealth and care. Before my eyes is the path that leads to the swimming section. Keach is right, FFC is vastly different from other colleges. I took to the route earnestly and found myself at the entrance where a skinny lady is the one giving orders.

She is clad in a bikini herself. A beautiful elderly woman I'd say. She looks over to me and cocked up her eyebrows.

" Hey newbie? " She asked but didn't wait for me to reply before she continues, pointing at a side. " Go over there to get your things and come back. There is so much to do than to lazy around "

I turn around to where she is directing me to. The place where I would be accepted in. I immediately walks towards the men who sat behind the desk filled with papers.

" Hello I'm dahlia mil.." I gritted my teeth then smile. " I'm Dahlia Lawn. I am here for my kits. I chose the swimming.."

" She is Dahlia Lawn. The princess of FFC " I overheard the men whispering to themselves, interrupting me. One of them look up at me before the others with a grin.

" Of course dahlia. Welcome. Here is your kit " He handed me a duffel bag which I accepted with a smile. I turn and headed towards the lady in bikini but then I was stop by the man who have given me the duffel bag. " No no princess. You do not belong there please. Take this route and you will get it "

I do not understand what the man mean by ' You do not belong there ' what is wrong with THERE? I however obeyed his words but reluctantly. I wish to see JL but my missions has been delayed a little.

I took to the fine path the man has showed me and soon I found myself in a building so cool and jaw dropping. I could hear the sound of water in the distance and I followed this soothing sound.

Everywhere so tidy and crazily comfy. I soon emerges into a large room where before my eyes lay large pool. No one is in sight but I managed to see the initial tag again. JL.

At once reality slammed into me when I saw the initial tag of my name as well. DL. Now I got why the men has directed me into this path. I do not wish to swim alone. I only wish to see JL and he is...

My thoughts was put to a pause when I saw the movement in the pool. The bubbling came first before the mighty price of FFC emerges from the water.

I almost fall at this sudden occurrence which obviously I haven't been expecting at all. JL slowly plays in the water for sometime before stopping abruptly. His back on me.

I realize he felt he wasn't alone. JL turn around slowly with his eyes laced with surprised expression. I know he has never expected me to walk in or turns out to be his step sister. Oh so ironic?

" Who have let you in ? " His question dropped my heart to my stomach and I get he still didn't know the truth. I rolled my eyes impatiently and then parted my lips to speak the truth but he immediately cut in. " There will be no need to apologize. I know ladies couldn't help themselves when they saw men's perfect abs and solid chest. You can feast on my body only at the nightlife young girl. Just at night "

I couldn't reply right away because I was taken aback by his words. His thoughts so vastly different from mine. His intentions so different from mine.

I watched as he get out from the pool and I immediately look away So i won't get to see what I shouldn't but JL is Putin on his tight short that shows the outline of that perfect dick underneath.

Crazily lust flare up in me as my eyes couldn't stop staring at JL's big bulge. Thought plays around my head on how tantalizing it will be if I get to suck on it. I wouldn't...

" Hello? " JL's loud voice brought me back to reality and I breath out shakily while cursing myself on how carried away I have been. He stood before me with water dripping down from his forehead and hair to his face and down to his chest which I couldn't dare look in order not to loose control.

Immediately I step backwards away from me, nearer to the pool and shivers. I should get myself in control and speak. Go straight to the point.

" Corrine has been to me JL. You should please...do not post that video of her in the group. It will shattered her, I am sure and... And it will ..."

" Oh " JL whispers softly after a low chuckled. " You are here for her? So lame. Corrine should have tried better. Why would she asked a girl like you for help? "

He didn't wait for my answer. He walks to the duffel bag he had kept at a corner and began to ruminate in it, trying to find what I couldn't fathom.

All of a sudden I saw his cellphone which of course would have the video. I lost all senses all of a sudden, just as always when I am pushed against the wall and frustrated.

I swiftly dashed to JL's cellphone but then he noticed my movement. Without thinking,he pushed me Into the pool.

" I can't believe you are this dumb " He was saying while I am in the water. I couldn't swim. I have had a phobia of it in the past and I never get over it. " You should stop acting up " that was JL's words when I started gulping down the water, trying to save myself.

I couldn't help but get down by the large pool. I could feel my soul leaving my body, I could feel my heart withering away. I feel like dying. I am already down at the buttom of the pool when I saw JL took a deep dive to save me.

I haven't expected him to wrap his hands around me protectively then make for the surface. I am out, partially because my visions are blurry but I could see a little.

JL pulled me out of the pool and at once done group of people surrounded me. A guy made to revive me by performing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation on me but I saw JL pushed him away.

JL bent down towards me,Check for Breathing. He Place his ear next to my mouth mouth and nose.

" Oh goddess! She's breathing " I heard him says softly. My lips moving gently. I have never planned to be pushed into the pool. I thought I can handle the pressure and anxiety if it occurs but I am wrong.

I feel myself going unconscious now. My eyelids heavy and my lips quivering in cold. JL saw my lips moving so he bent down again to hear my soft words.

" Cold... I'm so ... cold "

To my words JL pulled my head up and wrapped his hands around me to keep me warm. My eyes finally closed but my heart couldn't stop beating rapidly but now not in fear or anger but for joy and relief. I am in his arms again after many years. Oh, how I miss him.
