In the library, once again Lyra started spamming the group chat, asking the others if they were on their way.

Once again, there were no replies.

“Do you think they’ll come today?” Remi asked.

Lyra sighed, already fed up by their behavior.

Diana looked at the time.

She tapped her finger on the table slowly. “Why don’t we do a dry-run for the questions?”

Lyra and Remi agreed. That’s all they could do today.

Diana asked question after question and explained the answers diligently. Before lunch time, their throats were already dry.

“So, I’ll just print all of these out later on at home. I’ve already bought the presentation folders for it.” Lyra said, packing up.

“I’ll help you out.” Remi offered. Lyra gladly accepted.<

    “Okay...But, what about the topic?” Lyra asked.“It’s not a problem. Both groups will present the same topic. The presentation is already on Wednesday so I’d understand that you’re lacking in time if you have to change the topic now. Anyway, this is not a competition. What’s important is your understanding of the topic given and you can present it with others as well.” He calmly said.The whole time, Halynn was inwardly celebrating.Joe and Harvey didn’t react more and just muttered their agreement.Hours passed and their classes were finished for the day.“Do you guys have somewhere to go today before you go home?” She asked Lyra and Remi.“Hmm? Nope.” Lyra replied. Remi also shook her head.Diana smiled faintly. “Good. Come with me for a bit..”

    At the Anderson’s Residence, the family sat together for dinner. Heather was also present.“How are you, dear? Have you adjusted well in the house?” Rosemary warmly asked Heather.“Everything’s good, Auntie..” Heather smiled. “I probably might get a promotion too. The house is really close to the Department so I’m able to report on time, even earlier. Mrs. Kent takes good care of me too. So I’m always energized before going to work and well-rested once at home.”Rosemary beamed in happiness. “That’s great! I know you’re very capable..”“Thank you..” Heather replied shyly.A few days after she moved out of the apartment, she called her parents to let them know. She didn’t mention about the problem with Henry and just told them that it was more convenient to be near her workplace.

  • When Love Blooms Finally   Presentation

    Wednesday arrived and it was time for the case presentation for their class subject Medicine I with Doctor Hector Gallagher as their professor.The groups have already started presenting their case study. They would also answer questions by their classmates and by the professor. A few times, Doctor Gallagher would correct a part of their case study or had them present an example of it.This proved to be difficult to some groups but Kristopher Alonzo’s group however was praised. Koby and Cora also did well in their respective groups.At this time, it was Halynn’s group’s turn.She swaggered towards the front and had Joe and Harvey distribute an outline of their report. She then went up to Doctor Gallagher and set their prepared output on his desk.“You may start..” He nodded, picking up the folder.Halynn smirked arrogantly.

  • When Love Blooms Finally   Weekend Work

    At the Forrest Research Institute, Diana reported for work on a weekend after taking two weeks leave of absence to settle her schedule.As soon as she entered the building, everyone was able to recognize her. There was not a single person who didn’t know what she looked like. They were also very courteous towards her as she would become the future wife of their boss and also because of her status as a descendant of one of the Great 7.“Isn’t that Diana?” A female employee whispered to another, pointing with her lips.“Shhh.. Why are you calling her by name?” The other reprimanded. She was worried they’ll get in trouble. It was one thing to call these famous people by their name in private, but here and close to the famous person involved, it was just disrespectful. They were not friends to call each other on a first name basis.“Isn’t that her?&rd

    He thought for a second and decided that he would like to see it for himself.“I’ll join you guys.. I need to get some work out done. Haha”“Couldn’t you just go to a gym?” Lucas raised an eyebrow at him.“Tsk.. It’s the same routine and environment. I want to try something new..” He said.“New?..” Lucas would have said more but Morris shot him a look.Lucas’s head started to ache. He realized that his younger brother is up to something.Martial arts is not new to them at all. Since young, they have already taken martial arts classes and already got their black belts. After all, they needed to learn how to defend themselves from kidnappers or any of those trying to use them to get something out of their clan.Lucas would still join Diana as his purpose was to be able

    Henry stood on the sidewalk. He thought he could finally catch a glimpse of Diana.Since his divorce with Chantal, he has been waiting by the Forrest Research Institute. But to his surprise, he hasn’t seen her go in and out of the building.‘Did she quit work there now that they announced their engagement?’He thought about that but doubted the idea as well.‘Didn’t she say that she didn't want to be a housewife only?’He recalled the time when the Winchester family matched Diana with Dillon Fredric. Back then even Dillon himself told her that she had nothing to worry about if she married him. Her needs and wants would be taken care of. She only has to marry him and stay home.That time, Diana vehemently disagreed. She even emphasized how important her career is.But having waited outside he

    That Monday, her classes went without a hitch.Joe Gill and Harvey Johnston would glance at Diana, Lyra and Remi once in a while, thinking of ways to convince them to take them back to the group.But as luck would have it, the Professor has changed the way the groups are formed. By now, the students have already gotten to know each other. Now a single group would consist of six members and they were to choose their group mates by themselves and assign a leader.“Diana, I’m with you..” Cora said right away.“Me too..” Koby said.The two of them were already sitting next to her since the classes started so naturally the other students would understand. They even take lunch together. They wouldn’t even be surprised if Kristopher Alonzo would join them as well.Just then they saw Kristopher approaching Diana’s group, as w

    Grabbing her bag, Diana went out and met Lucas at the door.“Let’s go?” She beamed up at him, excited for what’s to come.Lucas stood slightly dazed at the doorstep.Her bright smile washed away the fatigue from work. He noticed that she fixed her hair up in a braid which she doesn’t usually do. It looked good on her. She looked more her age. Especially now with her outfit that just screams Youth. Her clothes perfectly emphasized her curves, especially on her hips and legs.He never thought of himself as an older person. He was only 30 years old. Only 8 years older than her. But his looks are that of what you would expect a Young Lord to look like. He would usually wear suits and ties but now he’s wearing a long-sleeved top and loose pants all in black with a flexible material that would not leave sweat stains. If he were to go walk casually in the park now, for su

    Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled

    Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei

    “Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall

    Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo

  • When Love Blooms Finally   Collision

    As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s

    The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta

    After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl

    Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin

    Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
