All Chapters of My Cursed Lestari (BxB): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I wanted to skip breakfast, but it was impossible to sneak out of the Lestari mansion because there are mobsters everywhere with their machine guns. And I spent part of the night trying to figure out where they were staying, if any of them could end up leaving the post, but they don't even blink when they are on alert. Which is all the time.I heard that Daud made the head of the Maurino family, Joni Segundo, very angry recently, which left the whole family in a very annoying situation. Can you imagine, going to live in a house that could be invaded at any moment? Well, maybe not so much, because I heard Devi explaining to Mom - who was not at all scared about all this shit - that his men cannot come and go as they please through that region, because the whole East belongs to the Lestari Family. And I didn't want to admit it, but I felt calmer after I heard this.I try to curl up as much as I can inside my newest room - which is twice as big as the old apartment I lived in with my mo

Lanton's friends led him away when the bell rang. I watched him go with my eyes and at no time did he look back, which was good, in a way. But I was a little worried, after all, was he really serious about going out and saying she was a Lestari? Was he really about to say that he was a Lestari?Damn, his life was going to end right there. Okay, okay, I'm really pissed off with him, but I didn't know if he was really willing to end his life that way. He was probably bluffing and I fell for his exploits once again."Hey, Luk!"I look at the door to the room and it is my newest friend, Haris, who is there to pick me up, just as he had promised earlier to me. He is smiling and waving and in a few minutes, we are already walking down the school hallway."In the east side are the laboratories, in the south side are the normal classrooms, like ours. The workshops are on the west side, it's pretty easy, you can't get lost. Usually the first year is on the first floor, the second year is on th

"I came in peace." "Well, I don't want your peace, if you can just not come into my room," I say, waving my hand in his direction and trying to get back to concentrating on my literature exercise. But he doesn't come out, on the contrary. He obviously does the opposite of what I ask, so he enters the room and I watch for him to close the door behind him. Lanton is holding a tray in his hand, two sandwiches and a glass of some red juice that I can't identify what it is from. "I brought you a snack. You haven't eaten anything since you arrived and you missed dinner again," Lanton crosses the room and leaves the tray on my study table near the window. I remain silent, trying to understand question number three on page forty-five, but I cannot. Every time he is near me I lose my full concentration. Lanton just stands there, leaning against the table, silent. I get angry. I throw the pencil angrily on top of the book and look at him. "Okay, you've

I get home and everything is set up for some event - such as the event my mother made me promise to attend. Everything is luxurious, there are tables, chairs, a buffet where I'll probably finish eating. My mother is wearing a red dressing gown and her hair is tied up in a satin cap. She is shouting at the staff who are tidying things up and finally realizes that the three of us have arrived."What a delay! I was about to send someone after you, where were you?""We made a stop on the way," Devi says, taking the reins of the conversation. "Lanton needed to see someone, I told you this morning.""Oh, that's right! Everything's a mess and I forgot. All right, go upstairs and get ready, okay? The guests will start arriving in two hours. Come on, come on!"Lanton and Devi leave ahead and I continue to stare at my mother as I walk to the stairs. It's just over two months since she married Daud, but she's already completely given herself over to the role of a ma

I swallow dryly. No, that's not what I want. In fact, it's the last thing I want, to be recognised with Lanton's ex-boyfriend picking him up from school after class. I seemed so happy then, surely I must seem like a bitter one now. Looks like Lanton is going to mess it up again."I need a drink," I say, turning my back and heading towards a makeshift bar nearby, Haris goes right behind me and holds my hand."No need to be nervous, okay? I understand now.""You understand?""Yeah, like, it would be weird you two dating while your parents are married. I understand why you're not together anymore. And I understand now why he hasn't stopped taking his eyes off us since we got here.""What?" is Lanton here yet? I turn around automatically, but Haris pulls my face away."He still likes you, doesn't he?" He concludes on his own. Well, it's not that hard to come to that conclusion once you understand much of the story. "That's why he constantly gets after you at school.""He's just very pushy
