(Asher’s POV) Although the weather is so peaceful, the still air surrounding the three of us felt strangely suffocating. I couldn’t help noticing Ezra stealing glances at the dazed Mister Nathan—who’s lifelessly eating his already cold grilled cheese—as one of his eyes occasionally shone the color of gold. What is wrong with these people? If Ezra can just say he’s interested in Mister Nathan, he can just say it. But I too should tell him that Mister Nathan can as well be your godfather, Ezra. I coughed loudly, causing both Ezra and Mister Nathan to flinch and moused awkwardly on their seat. Then I paced myself. I guess it’s better to tell Mister Nathan after all, he’s looking too miserable I couldn’t help but pity him. “Mister Nathan, do you know what happened to Elaine?” Mister Nathan shot his gaze to me, dumbfounded, before he slowly shook his head. Somehow I can see the corner of  his eyes scrunched slightly, as if holding his tears. I

(Asher’s POV) I was sitting in Chips n Charm, waiting for the person who sent me the text message I’ve read back when I have my breakfast. As I sipped the last bit of coffee I brought with me and scooped the remaining cream from inside the cup, a familiar sleazy voice greeted me from behind. “Heyyyy broooo.” The corner of one of my eyebrows twitched. “…Rufus?” Was what I uttered after I turned my head like in the horror movies—slowly and frightful. I do said that I would be meeting someone but trust me, it’s not Rufus this time. But the person beside him. “Yah.” The guy beside Rufus—half of his tanned face covered with his blue hoodie—broke a grin at me. One of his hand was holding a parcel as he scooted on a seat right across me. Rufus sheepishly tagged along and sat beside him. I rubbed my face in frustration. Rufus is lucky that he’s a football maniac. If he’s not a quarterback, I would’ve done my karate move on him and knock him un

(Asher’s POV) Kaiser broke into a smile before bringing the nail and himself closer. “Alright. The feature is nothing much, actually. Apart from the head, the carving , the weight and the sharp end.” I creased my brows. “The head?” Kaiser nodded. “Yep. If you can see here-” “Bro!” Rufus butt in again. I heaved a sharp sight as he babbled, “This nail is amazing! I mean look at this length, it’s super LONG! Where did you get this-” “Shush.” I squeezed his not so squishy cheeks by accident. Immediately pulling away, my hands transitioned to my pocket and took out some cash before sliding it on the table towards him. “Rufus. If you don’t disturb us, I will treat you to any menu you wanted to eat.” I pointed to the menu board above the reception counter where various selection of menus; ala carte, combo, and even family combo are displayed. Rufus’s dirty blue eyes sparkled. “Are you for real?” His tone sounded like he’s in a  d

(Elaine’s POV) I was enjoying my breakfast when a butler—black shiny hair with ear length bangs covering half of his forehead and one of his eyes—His dark brown eyes shot me a glance as he stepped near Madam Rhea and whispered something to her. Madam Rhea replied back, before motioning her hands to another butler—one who was standing at the side of the dining hall as if preparing for any call. A few moments after that, the same butler returned to the dining hall with a black purse on the tray in his hands. Madam Rhea picked up the purse and unzipped it. Then, talking something again with the black haired butler, she handed him an object that looked like a piece of card. After that, the butler politely excused himself. I trailed off the butler’s slender figure and accidentally muttere, “Beautiful…” “What is it, Elaine?” I flinched, turning my head to Madam Rhea’s direction. She threw me a questioning look as she blinked her eyes. “N-Nothing…” I

(Elaine’s POV) Mister Michaelis?! I stood up from my seat in surprise. “W-Why is he here?” The butler then bent his upper body slightly. “Young Master Asher asked me to bring him here. Master Michaelis said he wants to see you.” I pursed my lips. Earlier when I was discussing with Madam Rhea, she told me that rescuing me wasn’t informed to everyone in my surrounding. “It’s not a secret actually, but we’re short on time to let our allies know.” Madam Rhea’s heart giggled resounded in my ears. Honestly, I too am surprised by this unprecedented event, one where I am brought the Ildian family instead to Mister Ruperts house. Because of that, everyone, my aunt and her family, the secretaries, all of them didn’t know about it. I was really worried that the impatient guest might be my aunt, but I guess she never cared of me in the first place. I wasted my time to seek love of someone who didn’t even love me back. And n

Rhea Madam Rhea gazed silently at the screen of her phone. On it, was a text message sent by an unknown messenger wishing for them to meet. Albeit curious as to how this person was able to have her private number, she was more curious when the content of the message stated that the mysterious messenger is able to provide evidence to Elaine’s domestic abuse case. She ought to let it be, to let the case disappear just like that, but as someone who has experience in handling insatiable person like that Rose, she knows this case won’t simply stop with just that when Rose spotted Elaine in public. When that time comes, it was her duty to protect as the young girl’s new guardian. A knock on the glass window of the car shook her from her daze. Through the tinted glass, she saw a figure leaning in closer, it’s face was in full display in front of her. “Aren’t you…” Her brows creased in surprise. The person outside the window mouthed a HELLO before for

Asher “Elaine.” Asher called. The two of them were having lunch together in the dining room after playing two more round of Jenga, Elaine beating Asher in each game. “What is it?” Elaine mused, having a good mood when she managed to defeat Asher. She knew how skillful a person called Asher E. Ildian is, paticularly his achievements in school. Yet she had never imagined to be able to talk to him. Perhaps it’s luck, or it’s just simply conicidence. “I heard you were talking with my mother this morning. What were you talking about?” He inquired. The young girl pondered whether to tell him or not. However, by no means Asher is Madam Rhea’s son, and it wasn’t that much of a secret anyway so he has the right to know. “It’s nothing much, we just talked about the documents inside the brown file.” Asher’s eyebrows rose. “The brown file?” He paused when an image of Elaine clenching a brown file last night appeared in his mind. “Ah, that…”

(Elaine’s POV) “Good morning, Miss Elaine.” Mia greeted me as she pulled open the curtains, letting the bright ray of sun light to invade my bedroom. I squinted my eyes for a bit, my hands rose to protect that pair of globe. “G-Good morning, Mia…” The maid nodded. “Now now, Miss. You need to wake up and prepare early so you won’t miss school.” Mia strutted beside me and like a skillfull maid she is, successfully drag me out from bed in one go and brought me to the bathroom for the usual morning routine. With, of course, my wailing of fear consisted of “NOooooo…” Or “Let me go….” The beauty morning routine is cut short, fortunately, because of  school which will start in about an hour from after I finished wearing the outfits Mia prepared for me. “Uh, don’t you think, I should just wear my usual outfit?” I inspected my clothes—white long sleeved shirt paired with red and green square patterned knee length skirt—then complet

(Elaine’s POV) “Elaine!” It was Asher, and his chirping voice sounded strangely happy to see me. Was he that happy to see me? Maybe not. But... “Oomph!” I was pulled into his arms in a tight hug. The  two of us began to sway when he rocked my body as he hummed happily, as if, all the other students who gave him a strange look as they passed the school gates weren’t even exist. “How was your sleep last night? Did you sleep well?” He leaned in to level his head with mine. In a distance, I saw another figure silently coming closer behind Asher’s back. I nodded in hesitation, perhaps a signal that Asher seeks as he nodded while heaving a relieved sigh after my response. “Alright, thanks guys. I’ll contact you later.” Asher said while he stood straight again, eyes gazing between the two unknown guys who safely escorted me all the way to the school gate. The two of them grinned sheepishly, before out of nowhere, one of t

While it was normal for most young people to hang out and have fun after school, Asher’s trip with Elaine felt like bringing a restless child for her first sightseeing. Asher kept his eyes on Elaine who kept drifting apart from him and began touching random stuffs inside the arcade the two of them visited.“Asher, what’s this?” Elaine inquired excitedly, pointing at the crane machine with stuffed animals as the prize.Asher snickered and shook his head before stepping towards Elaine. “This is called crane game. It lets you keep any prize you get from that pile.” He pointed at the colorful and cute stuffed animals which were scattered inside the closed space of the machine.“Wanna try it?”Elaine nodded fast.Asher then pardoned himself to buy some tokens. Returning, he gave Elaine all the token for her to try the game.Surprisingly, in two tries, Elaine managed to obtain a cute, pink colored st
