Donald's Pov:
I left the room, going out to take some air by the pool side.
Well, it's really boring not having siblings, right? Being the only spoilt child.
I didn't spot mum on my way out of the house and when I'd gotten outside, I met someone else.
Caroline???
It seemed she was just arriving because the lights from her car were still on.
"Donald!!" She called in happiness and ran into my arms.
Well, she's the only lady who does that - gets to be this free with me.
We've been friends since we were kids. Fortunately for her.
"Hey; what's up?" I cooed as we disentangled from the hug and I stroke her hair.
I actually wasn't surprised she'd come unexpected.
I mean...its a normal thing for her.
"I'm fine. Are you busy?" She asked.
"Um...of course, not. I was actually on my way to get some air by the pool side".
"Oh! Perfect. Since you're less busy, you're coming with me then. There's this amazing place I'd visited this evening and I bet you'd love it. My friends are still there and I just rushed over to get you...."
As she spoke, I took out time to scrutinize her outfit.
Wow!
A bum shot and crop top with a pretty sandals.
Well, Caroline has always been a lover of fashion.
"Are you listening to me at all?" She asked and hit me slightly on the chest.
"Of course, doll. I'll just get changed" I rolled my eyes and started walking into the house and she giggled.
She followed me in and getting to the sitting room, a maid almost spilled dirt on her.
"hey, you oaf....are you blind?" She asked as the mop stick dropped close to her feet.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry ma'am. Please, forgive me" the young lady apologized immediately, keeping her head bowed.
'You should be sorry for your pathetic mum" Caroline replied blatantly with an eye roll and I scoffed as she followed me to the room.
Well, If I'm Mr Arrogant, Caroline's Mrs Arrogant.
She followed me to the room and waited for me to dress up.
Yeah - we're actually that close that we play in each other's rooms.
I changed in the bathroom - of course.
Even if I was going to get some peanuts down the street, I still make sure I look good.
I brushed my hair, fix a glittering ring on my right ear, wore my gold chain and after that, Chelsea and I left the room.

A Different Planet....
MARAZONA
Sophia's Pov:
"Chloe, you can't possibly do this. You need to say the truth. Aletheia!!" I said the last part in our dialect as I lamented in front of her.
Throughout my stay with her, I'd never seen this hardness in her.
"Hera, are you really going to stand by and watch me get punished for your crimes? Adikos, Chloe? Adikos!!"
"I'm sorry, Caroline. But my mother would be very mad at me if she gets to know I did it. I'm sorry you need to face this. Please, forgive me" she said with a little remorse which only increased my frustration.
"Really?" I scoffed.
"Your mother is the queen, Chloe. And you're her only child. She treasures you a lot. If you confess to your sins, I'm sure your punishment will be minimal" I tried persuading her, but she refused.
"No! I've disappointed her a lot already and just two days ago, I'd promised I wouldn't do anything to displease her again.
"You know I need a favor from her. I told you about it, right? And if she finds out I committed this offense, she'll definitely be mad at me and wouldn't grant my request - ever.
"Understand with me, Sophia. Please. The highest she can do to you is give you some strokes and it'll be over..."
"You really want me to get beaten because of you?" I cut her off with a scoff.
"You made the mistake, Chloe. Why should I be the one to get punished for it? You know how much your mother hates me. She'll definitely punish me unreasonably for this. Don't make me pass through this please" I begged and she sighed and faced the exit.
"I'm sorry, Sophia. But I can't" she mumbled and walked away.
"Chloe!" I called after her, but she didn't bother to look at me and completely left.
Good Saviors.
I whimpered and sat helplessly on the floor.
How could Chloe do this to me?
I've been taking the blames for her in other cases, but this...I simply can't. I'll be punished severally for it. How could she betray me?
My name is Sophia and I'm one of the maidens in Marazona - also known as the Land Of Beauty.
We only have females around her and I don't think any other gender exists.
The story behind the beautiful planet is still a mystery. But according to the wise teachers, originally, they'd been mingling in a different place. But there was a war and majority of them ran over here to start a new life. That's how Marazona began.
We're blessed with extra ordinary beauty, special powers, anti ageing - although, I know I'm still a young lady.
But sometimes, i wonder how we came about. How were we created?
Did our mothers just suddenly got fertile on their own and gave birth to us?
Princess Chloe and I grew up as childhood friends and we were pretty good even if her mother the Queen has always been against our relationship.
I still don't get it, but she's never liked me and sometimes, I wonder if it's because I had no mother.
Well, I've never set my eyes on my mother and don't even know if I have one.
Each time I had fun with Chloe, the Queen always felt bittered and has made many attempts to restrict Chloe from seeing me.
Chloe and I have been really good friends, but now, I don't get what's wrong with her.
She committed an offense and framed me for it, telling me she's scared to face her mother's consequences.
But I was also scared to face the Queen's anger because she hates me just much.
And now, I'm kept in a cell, awaiting the Queen's judgment tomorrow.
Donald's Pov:Since Caroline had come with her car to pick me up, we had to go to the "fun place" with it.And when we were done, she drove me back home."It was fun, right?" She asked happily as she followed me out of the car and stopped in front of the house."Yeah...it was" I replied with a shrug."You'll be coming over to school tomorrow, right?""Of course" she smiled and hugged me."Goodnight" she hushed.Hm. Now, I know mum's absolutely right. She really has feelings for me.Well, I wouldn't blame her. All ladies crush on me and being my first best friend, she should feel really honored.But....I think she's been showing her feelings more clearly now."Goodnight" I replied her and she turned to leave but suddenly stopped and gave me a peck.Whaaaat??"That isn't allowed, Caroline" I said with an eye roll and she laughed and
MARAZONA Sophia's Pov:I slowly walked to the exit and looked out to see the guards on the floor, sleeping.Although, I was shocked but decided not to waste any more time and grab the opportunity and quickly, I started running.I had the powers of invisibility and since I was no longer in the cell which restricted powers, I decided to make use of it to protect myself.I made myself invisible and that way, no one would be able to see me.I continued running but suddenly stopped and thought of something.The treasure of Marazona.I changed direction and got to the place which was heavily guarded. Well, it was the most precious treasure in the entire planet cause it was linked to the throne.Still being invisible, I ran towards it and made my way through the entrance. The guards couldn't notice.Well, I was the
Sophia's Pov:I'd slept for what felt like forever to me because after opening my eyes, I felt different and far.I looked and discovered I was actually lying on the floor - on sand.I squinted my eyes and stood up, feeling so tired.Where was I? Could I still be in Marazona?No....Marazona isn't like this. And besides, I'm sure I'd have woken up in a cell.I stood up weakly and found a very big body of water in front of me.Wow! It was almost like the stream we had in Marazona which was our source of water.Hold on...I was naked. I wasn't putting on anything.Where were my leaves? How did they fall off?Where was I?I touched my neck and took in a deep breath when I found the treasure still lying there. It was safe with me."Hey!" I suddenly heard someone call and turned to the direction of the voice.It was a young woman - a young pretty woman.
Donald's mum;Gosh! Who the hell is this lady?? I mean....where does she come from? And why do I have a feeling she might be mentally Unstable?But she looks really pretty and doesn't look dangerous. I can't believe she was stark naked.Well, as soon as we're home, I'll clean her up and ask her some questions to know what the heck happened to her. Then. I'll know if I was to inform the police or not.She kept looking through the window like an alien that I had to lock the door because I had a feeling she might open it and jump out if care isn't taken.I seriously couldn't wait to know who she is.** Sophia's Pov:Saviors!Everything here was so strange. I couldn't believe a house was moving.As I glued my hands and face the window, I kept watching in amusement.Soon, we came out to a very busy place and my eyes nearly popped out of it sock
MARAZONA Chloe's Pov: Earth, I thought. My dream land. My heart beamed at the mention of it. "It's possible she's on earth?" Mother asked . "Yes, my Queen. Although, it's just a guess and a probability. Earth is the closest survivable planet to Marazona. And its possible she'd gone there to seek refuge" the chief guard replied. "Then, go after her! Find her!" Mother half yelled. "It isn't that easy, my Queen. Going to a different planet requires a lot of risks. First, we'd lose our powers. Secondly, we might not be able to survive in it. And thirdly, earth is a very wide place and might take us weeks to find her. By then, the effect of the treasure would've taken place already" she explained. 'I don't care. I still want her found. Go to the priestess and hear what she has to say". "Yes, my Queen" they all bowed and left.&nb
Donald's Pov:I'd returned home from school only to meet a strange lady in the sitting room, putting on my shirt!!What the....Mum didn't tell me she was getting a new maid. And even if she was a new maid, why would she be putting on my shirt??And why's her hair this long and....untidy?"Don't you talk?" I snapped at her."Why're you putting on my shirt??? Who're you??""You....you're her son, right? You're the son?" She asked and I made a crumpled look.What's she talking about?Before I knew what was happening, she started coming towards me."You look so different" she mumbled and touched my face."Hey! What do you think you're doing? How dare you just touch me?"Immediately, mum showed up.Perfect. Just at the right time."Donald??" She called and rushed to us.** Sophia's Pov:She was so beauti
Sophia's Pov:As soon as she left, I started hearing voices outside the room - like she was talking with someone or something.Shortly, the door opened and her son walked in, looking pretty angry.What's wrong with her?Oh! Him.Him, right?"Hey, you! Take off my shirt" he said and I arched my brows in surprise.Oh! The shirt is his, right?But....does he want me to go naked in front of him?Immediately, his mum walked in."Hey! Donald. Come on, son. What's wrong with you? Let's talk outside" she said calmly and held his hand, but he still looked pretty angry.Why's he acting this way?"Of all the clothes in the house, mum, does it have to be my shirt? One of my favorites??" He queried."Um...I'm really sorry....son. Don't worry, I'll take off the shirt" I said and started looking for a way to take it off my body.I didn't even know how
Sophia's Pov;What's he doing here?I stared at him, surprised."You" he muttered and found his way pass the door and I made path for him."Who're you huh? What do you want here?" He asked."I've....I've explained everything to your mum already" I replied."Well, I'm not my mom and need my own explanation"Huh??"I'm sorry, but.... it's a long story and I don't think I can explain it now to you""What?" He scoffed and folded his hands."Anyway, listen to me and listen pretty good. If I get to know you're lying to me and my mum; if I get to know you're actually a spy, trust me, you'd regret it. So, now you still have the chance, I'd suggest you leave. Just leave".I stared at him silently as he spoke with so much anger. Why's he mad at me?There's no way I'm leaving. I mean, I can't. Where would I go, huh?He scoffed again and left.** &nb
Caroline's pov"Hello." A voice came up from the other side of the phone."Yeah?" I asked with a slight frown on my face even if I know that he wouldn't see me.I don't know the person that's calling because I don't have the number stored in my phone."Caroline, it's me Chris." The voice said and I had to gasped lowly.Oh my!"Oh Chris, pardon my manners. I didn't know you were the one." I smiled and brushed my hair with my fingers."That's not a problem. I didn't expect you to know I'm the calling immediately." He laughed and geez, his voice sounded so cool and sweet."Okay. So, Caroline I know we don't know each other but I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me - like a date where we'd get to know each other better." He said and I could tell he was nervous because of the way he sounded.I pursed my lips and contemplated for a few seconds. I si
Chloe's povI grinned as I arranged Donald's bed. I removed his previous bedsheet even if it wasn't dirty and replaced it with a clean one.I hummed softly to nothing and moved to his shoe rack.I don't know, but I feel so happy today. Or maybe I do know why I'm happy.Maybe it's because James and I have become more closer and Donald isn't rude to me anymore.I Know for the fact that he doesn't like me but I'm glad he doesn't glare at me with a scowl on his face.James has been super nice to me and he's really different from his friend. While Donald is arrogant and rude, James is nice and always wear a sweet smile on his face.Sophia isn't been hard on me like before. And I'm glad.*"So, you wanted to talk to me." Sophia said and arched her brows at me.I cleared my throat repeatedly and stared at her."Yeah. I just wanted to tell you that I already f
Caroline's povI got ready for school the next day and I was so surprised and speechless to see mum setting the dinning table.She had an apron on and it looked like she had been cooking."Hey Caroline, come have breakfast." She beamed and gestured for me to seat. I stared curiously at her as she set the table and uncovered the food and the sweet smell wafted through my nose.Oh my!Did mum make this?"C'mon Caroline, why are you still standing? Hurry up and seat. Have breakfast so you won't be late for school." She smiled and walked closer to me. She tucked in a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and tung on my arm.She brought out a chair and made me seat on it. "I made you hot chocolate tea, just the way you like it." She smiled and placed my cutleries beside my plate of food.I just sat, watching her do everything.What happened? I can't even rem
Caroline's povI waited patiently for mum to come home so we'll both talk about staying in the house.The door opened and mum walked in. I sighed in relief and stood up to meet her."Welcome mum." I smiled and took her bag from her. She just smiled and nodded her head."You've been waiting for me?" She asked as we made our way to the stairs. "Yes mum." I shrugged.We got to her room and entered."So mum, I want to have a discussion with you." I twitched my lips and sat on her bed while she sat on her dressing table, taking off her jeweleries."Okay? You can go on." She nodded her head and turned to glance at me."So mom, about us leaving, are we still gonna leave? You know, dad already told them to leave and they wouldn't stay here with us and they agreed. So, are we still leaving?" I asked and chewed on my bottom lip."You see Carol, I really want us to leav
Caroline's pov"Dad, this is f*cking bullshits! You have a daughter aside me? C'mon dad, if this is a joke then please stop it because I'm not finding this funny." I huffed ridiculously and ruffled my hair.What the f*ck!How can that lowlife Becca be my sister?Something I've never dreamt off.What sort of dream is this?"It's the truth Caroline." Dad said calmly and held my shoulders and stared sadly at me. "I'm a big fool, yes I know. I made a mistake, I know. But please Caroline, don't be mad at me for too long. You can be mad at me but not for too long. Your mom, she's threatened to leave the house with you. Please Caroline, I can't do without the both of you in my life, please don't leave me." Dad said sadly and I could tell he was fighting the urge not to cry.I felt so pity for him and his countenance showed he's been sincere. I know dad and I know he's feeling sad and gui
Caroline's povI got to school the next day and I didn't bother to say hi to Donald, just sat on my seat quietly.Mum had called at my aunt's place telling me that there's an emergency at home and I should come home immediately we close from school.She sounded so worried and it even made me worried. I couldn't even tell why she sounded that way but I know it's really an emergency for her to speak that way.I tried my best not to think much about it and focus in class, hopefully when I get home, I'll get answers.* Sophia's povDonald's mum had been happy and I didn't understand what she meant by love.She promised to answer my question by enlightening me on my feelings. She'd told me that she'll take me out and make me learn more about my feelings.I had agreed and I was happy because finally, I'll get answers and know exactly what I feel
Donald's pov"Sophia!" I screamed and ran to hug her.She didn't hug me back, she just stood and I could tell she was confused or rather my action was unbelievable to her.I released her from the hug and stared at her face, "you made me worry almost to death."She just rolled her eyes and walked away from the door, walking further into the house."Sophia?" I called and held her left arm and made her turn to look at me."I need to sleep, okay? It's late already." She sighed and yanked her hands away from my grip.I watched as she started towards the stairs.My jaw dropped and I felt bad. It was as if my heart was pierced with a knife.I lowered myself on the nearest couch and sighed sadly.After worrying myself almost to death and staying awake waiting for her, this is what I get?* Kenny's p
Becca's pov"You have to leave now Clarissa, you've outstayed your welcome already." Dad grumbled angrily as he matched up to mum and I in the sitting room where we were watching TV.Mum snorted and glared at dad."Really now Jerry? Is this what you're supposed to tell your child and the mother? A child you didn't know about? Is this how you're gonna treat us?" Mum snarled angrily and stood up from the sofa."That's not what I meant Clarissa. My wife and I are gonna have a huge misunderstanding and I don't want her coming back from wherever she went to meeting you here. I'm glad my daughter, Caroline would be spending the night at her aunt's place. What would I have told her? Please Clarissa, you have to leave and I promise, I'll come see you and we'll talk this out." Dad begged, rubbing his palms together."There's nothing to talk about Jerry, for your information, we are staying here a
James' pov"So tell me dude, when did you have a pretty maid as that one?" I asked with a knowing smile.He creased his eyebrows and stared confusingly at me."Who? You know I don't really give a damn about the maids in the house.""The one that had hurriedly left your room in tears." I supplied with a smirk."Oh! Chloe? Mom recently employed her to tend to Sophia and I." He shrugged."Wow! Dude, she's pretty and curvy. I'm sure she's gonna taste good." I made a moan sound while Donald hit me on my arm."Geez James, you don't even know her and you're already thinking of f*cking her?" He asked flatly."Do we have to know someone before we f^ck them? The last time I checked, we f*ck random b*tches." I rolled my eyes and crossed my legs, darting my eyes around his room."Really now?" He grunted and eyed me.I chuckled lightly at his action and raised my hands up in a s
