Santiago had been playing half-heartedly since the second half of the game commenced. He had been losing control of the ball whenever he dribbled. The score had been fifty-six to twenty-one. In a short span of time, the opposing team was able to catch up. The current score was then fifty-six to fifty-five. Like a cat on a hot tin roof, the PE teacher was agitated at that moment. He directed his pointer at Santiago, as if grumbling about how he had been messing up. However, he did not reprimand him directly. After all, his family owned Elkton University. Having had to suppress his anger, he was therefore not in a good state of mind. Raeleigh could not help but to be amused to find the PE teacher rubbing his forehead whenever Santiago lost control while dribbling. Had she not been worrying, she would have laughed out loud. Now that the opposing team was only one point behind, the PE teacher did not say anything, but the coach yelled, "Hey, Santiago. What s wrong with y

Agitated, Deanna almost burst into tears as she received the call. "They ve agreed to join us for dinner, so why didn't they come?" Deanna thought. "Zorion, does Santiago hate me?" Deanna said. "Is that the reason he refuses to join us for dinner?" She had a bee in her bonnet. After all, she could tell that Santiago did not quite take a liking to her. Zorion walked towards Deanna and playfully pinched her cheek. "No worries," he said. "It has got nothing to do with you. I guess something came up. Let's head to the dormitory later to find out what happened. In the meantime, let s dig in. We ll get some food for them in a bit." Deanna felt much better after Zorion consoled her. She then turned around and started digging in. After that, she ordered some food for Raeleigh. As darkness set in, boys were prohibited from entering the women's dormitories. There were exceptions to every rule though, as Santiago could be seen lingering in Raeleigh s dormitory. A

Jepherson said a few words before the meeting ended. Then, he got up to take Raeleigh's laptop. He glanced at Raeleigh and held her hand before leading her out of the conference room. The conference room was as quiet as a graveyard. Stuart could be seen twitching his lips when he saw Jepherson holding Raeleigh s hand. "Oh wow, what does Mr. Jepherson think he is doing?" he thought. As they walked out of the conference room, Raeleigh attempted to pull away from Jepherson. However, he refused to let her go. Feeling helpless, she gave in and said, "Somebody s watching." "Are you scared though?" Jepherson asked while he was walking. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "You re the boss. No one dares to spill the tea." "I m glad you re aware," Jepherson said. "Stuart, can you make some arrangements? A flight in the afternoon. I m bringing Raeleigh along. You don t have to come though." Jepherson then led Raeleigh to his office. "Where are we going?" Raeleig

"The doctor says you're pregnant," Jepherson repeated thrice as he held Raeleigh's hand. Looking at Jepherson, Raeleigh did not know what she should feel. She had never imagined having a baby, but since it had happened, she did not want to abort her child either. To Raeleigh, a child was a gift from heaven. She could not end the child's life before it had even begun. Raeleigh rubbed her belly and her gaze met Jepherson's eyes. She said, "Even if your grandmother is against it, I will give birth to the child. I neither need a title nor any property, I just want the kid to have a happy life." As Raeleigh said that, thoughts of her younger self floated into her mind. She had been abandoned and had grown up in an orphanage. There, no one had ever visited her. Raeleigh thought to herself, her mother might have been in the same situation as she was in at the time, stuck with a child of a man whose family did not accept her. Hence, after she was born with great difficu

Raeleigh woke up from her nap. Jepherson was sitting opposite her, deep in thought about something. When Raeleigh opened her eyes, Jepherson immediately turned his gaze from the window to her. He got up to help her up. It amused Raeleigh. She told him, "I can take care of myself. I'm just pregnant. Do you need to be this fussy?" Jepherson didn't say anything. He merely lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at him in confusion. What was he doing? "My parents left," Jepherson informed Raeleigh as he helped her sit up and poured her a glass of water. Raeleigh took the glass. Looking puzzled, she asked, "And?" "And I'm very disappointed," Jepherson said curtly. Raeleigh could tell that he was in a bad mood. "Why are you disappointed?" "It's not fair to you." Jepherson had guessed that his father would leave, but he had not expected his mother to go along as well. Raeleigh wore a smile as she asked, "What's the big deal?" Jephe
