XAVIER¡¯s POV ? ¡°Oh¡­. ¡°Ah¡­. yes; yes. ¡°Yese on¡­ ¡°Xa¡­vier¡± The bitch moaned my name as I rode her faster and roughly. I ced my both hands on her waist and continued riding her and after a while, I reached my climax and pulled outta her, releasing on her legs. She gasped for air as she fell tiredly on the bed,ying t and I did same. Hm. That wasn¡¯t bad, I guess. ¡°You were sweet, hon¡± she said in aid tone and touched my chest. Hmph. I stood up immediately and reached for my trousers, passing it through my legs. ¡°You can leave¡± I said it nicely to her, and despite the fact I was avoiding her gaze, I could tell she was surprised. ¡°Xa¡­Xavier?¡± She stuttered ¡°What¡¯re you talking about? Why do you want me to leave so soon?¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m done with you, right? So, what other purpose do you have to serve?¡± I turned slightly to look at her over my shoulders. She scoffed. ¡°Why¡¯re you speaking like you only wanted to have s*x with me and nothing more?¡± She asked. ¡®seriously? Did I tell you I was gonna date you after f**king you??¡± I returned the question. ¡°Listen to me, Danielle and listen very good. I have no business with you, okay? I met you, asked for a round and you willingly agreed. So, what¡¯s with the expectations??¡± Tears had already built up in her eyes as she stared at me in disbelief. ¡°Do¡­. Do I look like a s*x toy to you, Xavier? Do I??? I haven¡¯t had s*x in years and you¡¯re the first guy I¡¯m¡­¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t leave this instance, I¡¯ll have my guards throw you out shamefully¡± I cut her off and looked away. Yuck! She hurriedly wore on her clothes and came to stand in front of me, tears running down her cheeks already. ¡°I thought the rumors were false. But I guess they¡¯re right afterall. You¡¯re indeed heartless¡± she blurted tearfully and ran out. Yeah, whatever. Bitch. I smirked and stood up from the bed, going to the wardrobe to get something else. Hmm. Firstdy for the day. Guess I have one more to go. I whistled and made little movements with my body as I sought for what to wear and just then, the door opened, revealing my ever sweetest mum. Oh! Crap. That look¡­ She¡¯s definitely here to scold me again. ¡°Xavier¡± she called. ¡°What the hell happened?? I just saw ady running out of your room in tears. What happened this time around?¡± I shrugged and turned back to the wardrobe. ¡°Well¡­I don¡¯t know, mum. She just¡­she asked for something which I couldn¡¯t do and¡­.¡± ¡°Do I really look like a child to you?¡± She cut me off. ¡°Tell me it wasn¡¯t one of your usual *use and dump* theory¡±. Geez! I didn¡¯t say a word as I continued rifling through my wardrobe. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you, Xavier. For goodness sake, you¡¯re just neen!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be twenty in a few months from now¡± I chipped in with an eye roll. ¡°Whatever! You¡¯re damn too early to be a yer. When will you learn to control and live a decent love life? At¡­At least, have a girlfriend¡±. ¡°That¡¯s bullsh*t, mum. I ain¡¯t getting no girlfriend. Not now¡± I said with a scoff. ¡®seriously?? So you¡¯re gonna be a yer for how long?¡± ¡°Gosh! Chx, mum. Its not like you¡¯re rted to any of thedies. You don¡¯t even know them¡±. ¡°The hell ¨C I hate this lifestyle of yours. I ain¡¯t stopping you from having fun. All I need is a decent Love life. There are many pretty girls around. Pick one and stop being a heart breaker¡±. ¡°Well, I¡¯m sorry mum, but neither of them are yet to catch my attention¡±. ¡°What about Chelsea? You¡­You¡¯ve been friends with her since child hood. Isn¡¯t she good enough?¡± ¡°What the heck? Chelsea and I are just friends ¨C nothing more¡±. ¡°But she likes you. I mean¡­I¡¯m damn sure she likes you a lot. Haven¡¯t you¡­¡± ¡°Whatever, mum. I only like her as a friend, nothing more¡±. She paused and took in a deep breath and I figured she was probably tired of arguing. ¡®seriously, Xavier. You need to change¡± she said forlornly. ¡°Yeah, I will. But not now¡±. I said under my breath as I finally brought out a shirt from the wardrobe. Atst! I wore it on and turned to see mum staring at me. She shook her head and didn¡¯t say any other thing as she started walking out of the room. ¡°I love you, mum!¡± I shouted after her as she shut the door and I chuckled. Hmm. I reached for the champagne in front of me, uncapped it and started gulping it down. Want a little introduction?? Well, I¡¯m Xavier Maddox ¨C the only precious child and son of the multi-billionaire. My mum is from a Royal family in Ennd but got married to my dad who¡¯s an American and a bastard billionaire. He¡¯s actually an Ex President of the country ¨C ruled some years ago when I was still a kid. But unfortunately, he dropped out of politics and ventured into business which only tripled his wealth. He built a school in my name ¨C yeah. A high school which is actually among the top 10 best schools in the US. I¡¯ve got the fame, cuteness, charms¡­ name it. And I guess that¡¯s the reasondies are ready to die for me. Seriously, they are. But unfortunately, I¡¯ve got no time for love. Yeah, all I can do is f*¡±k and go. And I don¡¯t care if I hurt your feelings or not. You can call me rude, arrogant, heartless¡­whatever. I don¡¯t f*¡±king care. Besides, you ain¡¯t feeding me or paying my bills.

Hmm Xavier Is Really Heartless to Women Indeed. Pls Let¡¯s All Speak Sense To Him Because I Think He Don¡¯t Know What He Is Doing¡­.. TBC¡­ Chapter 2 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ? XAVIER¡¯s POV ? I left the room, going out to take some air by the pool side. Well, its 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. Chelsea??? It seemed she was just arriving because the lights from her car were still on. ¡°Xavier!!!¡± She called in happiness and ran into my arms. Well, she¡¯s the onlydy who does that ¨C 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¡±de unexpected. I mean¡­it¡¯s 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¡¯reing with me then. There¡¯s this amazing ce 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, Chelsea 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 youngdy apologized immediately, keeping her head bowed. ¡®You should be sorry for your pathetic mum¡± Chelsea replied tantly with an eye roll and I scoffed as she followed me to the room. Well, If I¡¯m Mr Arrogant, Chelsea¡¯s Mrs Arrogant. She followed me to the room and waited for me to dress up. Yeah ¨C we¡¯re actually that close that we y in each other¡¯s rooms. I changed in the bathroom ¨C 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 ? DELANEY¡¯s POV ? ¡°Hera, you can¡¯t possibly do this. You need to say the truth. Aletheia!!¡± I said thest part in our dialect as Imented 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, Hera? Adikos!!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dney. 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, Hera. 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 Imitted this offense, she¡¯ll definitely be mad at me and wouldn¡¯t grant my request ¨C ever. ¡°Understand with me, Dney. 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, Hera. 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, Dney. But I can¡¯t¡± she mumbled and walked away. ¡°Hera!¡± I called after her, but she didn¡¯t bother to look at me andpletely left. Good Saviors. I whimpered and sat helplessly on the floor. How could Hera do this to me? I¡¯ve been taking the mes 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 Dney and I¡¯m one of the maidens in Marazona ¨C also known as the Land Of Beauty. We only have females around here and I don¡¯t think any other gender exists. The story behind the beautiful is still a mystery. But ording to the wise teachers, originally, they¡±d been mingling in a different ce. 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 ¨C although, I know I¡¯m still a youngdy. 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 Hera and I grew up as childhood friends and we were pretty good even if her mother the Queen has always been against our rtionship.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. 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 Hera, the Queen always felt bittered and has made many attempts to restrict Hera from seeing me. Hera and I have been really good friends, but now, I don¡¯t get what¡¯s wrong with her. Shemitted 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. * * TBC. ? ? . Aww So Sorry Dney. I¡¯m Speechless right now. Hera Why Are you Doing this To Dney. Guys What Do You Think Dney Should Do Now.. Since the Queen Hates Her so Much¡­. Chapter 3 ? XAVIER¡¯s POV ? : Since Chelsea hade with her car to pick me up, we had to go to the ¡°fun ce¡± 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 being 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 me her. Alldies 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, Chelsea¡± I said with an eye roll and sheughed and scurried off to her car. Hmph. Better don¡¯t fall in love with me, Chelsea. To avoid heartbreaks. Then, I proceeded to the house. I got in and met mum in the sitting room, Staring through the window. Huh? ¡°Mum¡­? Good evening¡± I greeted with a little surprise Why¡¯s she just standing and staring through the window? ¡°Was that Chelsea?¡± She asked with a smile, still staring. ¡°Y¡­. es¡± I drew my reply, feeling a bit surprised. ¡®she¡¯s such a prettydy, don¡¯t you think?¡± She smiled. ¡®she¡¯ll make a fine girlfriend, Xavier¡±. Gosh! Are you kidding me? I shook my head and started walking away. ¡°Having a girlfriend is better than being a flirt, Xavier¡± she called back my attention and I sighed and turned back to her, going to get a wine from the wine bar. ¡°Chelsea and I are just friends, mum. We¡¯re best friends and there¡¯s absolutely nothing going on between us¡± I said casually as I popped the wine open and drank directly from the bottle. ¡°But she¡¯s fit to be your girlfriend, don¡¯t you think? Come on, Xavier¡±. I didn¡¯t say a word but just focused on the drink. I ain¡¯t ready for love. ¡°You know¡­I¡¯ve always wish I had a daughter¡± she continued wistfully now. ¡°A pretty girl to take care of and cuddle. It¡±d have been nice having one around. Whaaaaat? ¡®Hold on; are you trying to say you wish I was a boy or what?¡± I asked and she widened her eyes in shock. ¡°Of course, not Xavier! I¡¯m just saying it¡±d have been better if you had a sister, you know? Or better still¡­. a girlfriend¡±. Geez! I guess we¡¯re back at it again. ¡°Goodnight mum¡± I said as I started walking away with the bottle of wine. ¡°Xavier! Hey¡­where are you¡­¡± I didn¡¯t listen to her as Ipletely walked away. When will she change? I still have a long way to go and I¡¯m definitely not ready for love. Give me ady and I¡¯ll spoil her with my d*ck. But don¡¯t expect me to love her * * MARAZONA ? DELANEY¡¯s POV:? I panicked as the female guards took me to the throne room to face the Queen. We got to the entrance and walked pass the leaves which were used as coverage and finally got to the room. The Queen was seated on her throne, Hera standing beside her together with some of the subjects. I was made to kneel in front of the Queen who¡¯s leaves sparkled. Well, over here, we make use of leaves as clothes. I didn¡¯t even know dresses existed. Our long hair also served as coverage for our chests. ¡°Dney!¡± The Queen called thunderously, her eyes glinting. Good saviors. I bowed my head and shivered in fear. ¡°How dare you??? How dare you break one of the sacred rules by sneaking into the Holy Chambers in an attempt to steal and thereby, almost resulting in the loss of one of my subjects??¡± She asked but I couldn¡¯t say a word. Oh! Hera. What has she done to me? ¡°Have you lost your tongue???¡± She roared and I lifted my head a little but made sure I didn¡¯t look into her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry my queen¡± I managed to say. I could clearly hear the anger in her voice. Why does she hate me so much, huh? ¡°For being disrespectful,¡± she said. ¡°This will be your penalty ¨C you¡¯ll be locked up for seven days with no food, but water. And you¡¯ll be whipped for as long as itsts¡±. Whaaaaat??? For the first time, I looked into her eyes. What¡¯s she talking about? What sort of punishment is that?? I noticed the rest of the subjects looked surprised. ¡°Wh¡­. What?¡± I muttered. ¡°I¡­I didn¡¯t do it¡± I stuttered. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it, my Queen. Princess Hera was behind it and she¡¯s trying to frame me for it¡±. Oh! Good saviors! I had to admit it. I couldn¡¯t just take the consequences. Hera¡¯s eyes dimmed and for a moment, there was silence. ¡°How dare you???¡± She suddenly snapped ¡°How dare you point an using finger at my daughter? Have you lost your mind???¡± Her voice was so loud and angry that I feared the creaky walls would copse. I looked at Hera. ¡°Tell her the truth ¨C please¡± I said with pleading eyes but she ignored my gaze. She looked scared. ¡®shut it, Dney!!¡± The Queen roared again. ¡°How dare you n such an act against the royal family?? ¡°For this, I hereby sentence you to death at Dawn!¡± She proimed and a wild gasp ran across the room. What? A stunned silence crowded me as I couldn¡¯t say a word. What did she just say??This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Guards!!¡± She called. ¡°Take her away!¡± No, no. This isn¡¯t happening. What is my offence that¡±d require death? What have I Have I done? ¡°No. I¡­I didn¡¯t do anything. I didn¡¯t¡± I begged as I looked into her face but only saw an evil smile. The guards came upto me and lifted me up. ¡°Why do you just hate me??? What have I done to you???? Whaaaaaat????¡± I cried out as the guards dragged me away and all I saw on her face was a grin. * * * I sat on the floor in the very dark cell, weeping profusely. I still couldn¡¯t believe it. My life was shattered. I was going to be killed tomorrow morning. What have I done to deserve this? Even if I were to ept the offense, the penalty doesn¡¯t involve death. No way. Why¡¯s the Queen being so heartless towards me? What have I done to her? Why does she hate me so much that she¡±d kill me without a second thought? I wept for a long time, having no one to console me. This has always been my life ¨C lonely and rejected. No family, no loved ones ¨C just Hera who¡¯s betrayed me. I can¡¯t believe she stood by and watched her sentence me to death. Why do I have to be so unfortunate to be here alone? Why don¡¯t I have a mum like the rest? What happened to mine? Suddenly, I heard a strange sound from outside and sprang on my feet. What¡¯s happening? I watched with keen interest, wondering what was happening to the guards outside my cell. Suddenly, the leaves opened and someone showed up ¨C someone who¡¯s face was covered. Whaaaaat?? I panicked and moved back in fear. Who¡¯s she? And how did she get in? What happened to the guards? ¡°I¡¯ve taken care of the guards for you¡± she said in a muffled voice. ¡°You need to leave while you still can. Run far away from here ¨C to a ce you can never be seen¡±. Huh?? I watched in amusement as she turned around and scurried off. What¡¯s happening? * * TBC. Wow What A Good Samaritan ???.. Chapter 4 MARAZONA ? DELANEY¡¯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 ce which was heavily guarded. Well, it was the most precious treasure in the entire 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 only one with such powers in the entire ¨C the power of invisibility. I ran through the entrance and kept running till I got to the sacred ce. The treasure was right there ¨C glittering. It had the shape of a heart with a rope around it and it was the most valuable treasure in the kingdom. If it¡¯s taken away, the Queen would¡¯ve to step down from throne else, she¡±d die in lees than three weeks. I think this is my way of punishing her ¨C making her leave the throne.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Quickly but nervously, I grabbed the treasure from it¡¯s position and a loud sound went off immediately. Good saviors!! That was a sign the treasure has been taken and everyone must¡¯ve been alerted by now ¨C even the Queen. Immediately, I started running but on my way out, I bumped into some guards who were also running in. But luckily, they couldn¡¯t see me as a result of my powers and I continued running. I ran out of the treasure hall and continued running for a very long time untill I felt like Slumping. My chest was beginning to hurt a lot. Finally, I got to the boundary ¨C the end of the way. There was nowhere else to go within the. I looked behind and feared the guards might catch up with me anytime soon. What do I do?? My heart raced heavily as I stared at the portal in front of me. That was the boundary between Marazona and a different ¨C a different world. I didn¡¯t even know where it¡±d take me. Going to another would cost me my powers. I¡±d lose all my powers and there¡¯s only a 50% chance of me getting it back. But if I stay here, I¡±d definitely be found and killed. What do I do? ¡®search everywhere!!!!¡± I heard a loud scream and my eyes dimmed. They were already looking for me. I locked the treasure around me, tying the rope around my neck and taking in a deep nervous breath, I entered the portal and got lost in the light. I crossed the boundary. * * * ? XAVIER¡¯s POV ? I clumped down the stairs to the sitting room with my headphones connected and my designer¡¯s school bag hung on my shoulder. I muttered along the song I was listening to and met mum at the dining. ¡°Good morning, sugar¡± I cooed and pecked her cheek and she smiled. ¡°Good morning, prince. You look happy today¡± shemented as I took a seat opposite her. ¡°Yeah¡­its good to be happy, right?¡± I shrugged and disconnected my earphones, dropping them on the table. Well, I couldn¡¯t wait to get to school and f**k some pretty asses. I could imagine thedies waiting for me already. A maid came up and served my meal. ¡°When will dad be back, mum? It¡¯s been three days already¡± I said as we ate. ¡°Oh. The project is taking longer, dear. And he might have to stay a little longer in Europe¡± she replied and I huffed. A billionaire dad who I barely see. * ¡± When we were done eating, surprisingly, she offered to drop me off in school. ¡°I¡¯ll be going to see a friend around that area. So, I guess I¡¯ll just y your driver¡¯s part today¡± she replied when I¡±d asked what her reason was. Of course, I couldn¡¯t object. So, I allowed her and we walked to the car together. I kept ying with my phone as we drove along, but not until she tapped me, getting my attention. ¡°You look so handsome over there, son¡± she said with a smile and I looked at the direction she was pointing. Oh! It was a bill board of amercial advert I did and it was nted on a cross road. Well, a lot ofpanieses to me for ads. ¡°Yeah¡­you¡¯ve got a cute son, ya know?¡± I winked at her and sheughed and continued driving. After a while, we got to school and she kissed me before letting me go. ¡°Take care of yourself, okay? Is there something specific you would want for lunch?¡± She asked, dressing my hair. ¡°Nope. When I get back, I might decide¡±, I replied and she nodded and I left. Finally. The King is in school. Where are mydies? * * ? XAVIER¡¯s MUM ? After dropping Xavier off at school, I proceeded to Ashley¡¯s ce, hoping she¡±d be around. I really needed to talk with her. After a long ride, I arrived at the beach and took in a deep breath when I spotted her house. I stepped out of the car and started walking towards the house and for a moment, the beautiful water caught my attention. Hmm. Maybe when I¡¯m done with her, I¡±de have a look. I stared away but returned my eyes when I saw something strange. Huh? I stopped walking to have a clearer view. It was ady ¨C getting up from the floor close to the waters. She was na*ked!!! * * TBC. ? ? Now the story begins?? DELANEY HAS FINALLY LANDED ON EARTH¡­.. Chapter 5 ? DELANEY¡¯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 ¨C 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 na¡±ked. 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 ¨C a young pretty woman. But she looked really really different. I mean¡­. she was putting on something that didn¡¯t look like leaves, but they covered her body. Her legs were on something¡­. they weren¡¯t touching the floor. Huh? She looked really different. Who¡¯s she? ¡°Hey! Are¡­. Are you okay? What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked with some sort of concern in her eyes. I should be the one asking if she¡¯s okay. She¡¯s looking really different. ¡°Youngdy, what happened to you? Why¡¯re you standing out na*ked? Were you raped? Huh?¡± She bubbled. What¡¯s rape? ¡°Where are your clothes?¡±. She asked again. ¡°I¡­I shouldn¡¯t be na*ked, right?¡± I asked and she gave me a surprised stare. ¡°Well, of¡­. of course. You shouldn¡¯t be seen like this. What happened to you?¡± ¡°I knew it¡± I said with a nod. ¡®I knew there was something wrong. I knew I shouldn¡¯t be n*ked. I don¡¯t know, but I can¡¯t find my leaves¡±. ¡°Your leaves?¡± She asked with a crumpled look. ¡°What leaves are you talking about?¡± ¡°The¡­.. The leaves I put on. Where did you get your leaves from? They look different¡± I replied and she moved away from me like I was insane or something. ¡°Um¡­.. where am I? Is this Marazona? Or a different?¡± I asked and the confusion on her face increased. ¡°What¡¯s Marazona?¡± She asked but I didn¡¯t reply. Now¡­I think I¡¯m in a different. Yes ¨C it has to be. ¡°You¡¯re in America ¨C and the is earth. Hold on¡­I think I need to get you to a hospital. Come on¡± she held my hand and started pulling me away. ¡°Wait¡­what¡¯s an hospital? Are you trying to take me to the Queen?¡± I asked, confused and she also stopped to look at me. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± She asked. ¡°De¡­Dney¡± I said shyly. ¡°Dney? Where do youe from?¡± I hesitated a little on that. I can¡¯t tell her the truth, can I? ¡°I um¡­. actually, I¡¯m from a ce called Mar¡­.. Marazona. But¡­. I was sent away. And¡­. had toe over here. Please, I¡¯m really hungry. How do I get out of here? Is¡­is there something I can do?¡± I asked desperately and she gave me a cranky stare. ¡°Come with me. It¡¯s not safe staying out here this way. When we¡¯re in a safe ce, we can talk. Come on¡± she said as she held my hand and continued walking with me. I touched my neck to be sure the ne was still resting there. Thank goodness. So, I¡¯m on earth? That means I¡¯m free from Marazona. The strange woman took me to something huge and looked like a house ¨C but it was very different from the normal buildings in Marazona. What sort of house Is this? It was ck, had four round things below it and the front part looked really strange and funny. ¡°Come on, get in. I¡¯ll drive you home¡±, she said as she opened something from the house. Huh?? Why was it at the entrance? As soon as she opened it, it gave me ess to see the inside. I could see something that looked like seats in it. ¡°Is this your house? Do you live here?¡± I asked as I stared suspiciously at it and she scoffed. ¡°This is a car¡­. not a house¡± she said and I pulled a confused look. ¡°A car?¡± I repeated. ¡°What¡¯s car? Oh¡­.. you mean you guys live in cars over here? And not houses?¡± ¡°What the¡­. geez!¡± She itched her head and mumbled. ¡°Come on,e on. Just get in. As soon as we¡¯re home, we¡¯ll talk better¡± she said and pushed me in. Huh? I got in and sat on the soft looking material. Over there in Marazona, we sit on mats or hard wood. But here¡­. I don¡¯t even know understand. She closed the whatever and I felt caged inside the house. Then, she got in from the other side and started touching somethings in front of us. What kind of house is this? And what¡¯re all these things?This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Suddenly, the house made a cranky noise which almost made me vibrate. What¡¯s that????? I looked at her with dted eyes and turning something in front of her, the house started moving. Huh????? ¡°The house moves??¡± I asked in a shocked tone but she only looked at me and shook her head. To Be Continued Chapter 6 ? XAVIER¡¯s MUM ? Gosh! Who the hell is thisdy?? I mean¡­. where does shee 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 sta*k na*ked. 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 have 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. * * ? DELANEY¡¯s POV ? Saviors! Everything here was so strange. I couldn¡¯t believe a house was moving. As I glued my hands and face to the window, I kept watching in amusement. Soon, we came out to a very busy ce and my eyes nearly popped out of it sockets. Whaaaaaaat???Content ? N?velDrama.Org. They were so many people around!! So many¡­. different people ¡°Wait?!!!??¡± I suddenly screamed when I saw something rming and the woman looked at me in shock. ¡°Hey!!! What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked as I glued my face to the ss. I couldn¡¯t exin it! But there¡¯s someone ¨C someone very different. She didn¡¯t look like a female. She wasn¡¯t having hair, her face was strong, she was¡­.. ¡°Who¡¯s that??? Why do they look different from us?¡±, I asked but she didn¡¯t reply as she seemed confused. Ahh! What¡¯s there to be confused about??? They were looking different from females. ¡°Um¡­. just stay calm, okay? We¡¯ll soon be home¡± she said with a fake smile. Yeah¡­. I could tell it was fake I tried opening going out because I really wanted to have a clear view of the strange females but couldn¡¯t. Why¡¯s this house so different? I couldn¡¯t leave the house. Suddenly, she pressed something in front of us and the windows went dark. * * She didn¡¯t let me have a view from the window again and finally, the house stopped moving. Oh¡­she said it was a *car* they live in cars over here. ¡®stay here. I¡¯ll get something to wrap you up¡±¡± she Said as she pushed a part of the house open and stepped out. How did she do it? I remained sitting in the house, not knowing what to do. And after a short whole, she arrived, opening my own entrance. She gave me a wide thing that looked like what she was putting on. Are you sure these are leaves? No; I don¡¯t think so. She wrapped it around my body and got rid of my n*kedness. ¡°Come on now¡± she cooed as held my hand and brought me out of the house and my eyes beamed immediately. ¡®What¡¯s this???¡± I shrieked when I saw a very big house in front of me. Wait!!! Is this an entire on its own? ¡°Hey! Will you keep I low? What¡¯s wrong?¡± The woman beside me asked but I couldn¡¯t understand what she meant. I think she¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t understand me. The ce was so big and ineffably beautiful. I saw a lot of small small houses- what the woman had called car. There were flowers ¨C that were far more beautiful than the ones in Marazona. Everything was so beautiful and looked like what we called *paradise* ¡°Where¡¯s this ce? Did you bring me to another?¡± I asked with a worried look and she chuckled. ¡°What the hell are you saying? This is my house¡±, she answered and I became more confused. I turned back to the smaller house that had brought us there. ¡°I¡­. I thought that was your house? Didn¡¯t you say you live in cars(¡°, I puzzled. ¡°Oh! Goodness. Now, it¡¯s confirmed. You¡¯re an alien¡± she rolled her eyes and gripped my hand, leading me into the house. She pushed a wood at the entrance and it granted us ess into the *house* Good saviors! How can just one person have a house as huge as this??? Even the Queen¡¯s throne room isn¡¯t this huge. My lips were opened the entire time as she took me in. For goodness sake! Why¡¯s this ce so beautiful???? Howe of it?? I couldn¡¯t even mention the things I saw cause they were things I¡¯ve never seen or known ¨C uncountable. My eyes kept rotating and rotating and I didn¡¯t even mind the pains. I was just confused of what to look. A youngdy came running out immediately. ¡°Ma¡±am¡± she called out to the woman with a bow ¡°You¡¯re home. Do you need anything?¡± ¡°Yes. Just heat up the food so I can give it to her¡± she replied thedy who bowed and left. Hmm. So respectful ¨C just like the maids in Marazona. I tried running away to touch something I¡±d found amusing, but the woman¡¯s hand around me didn¡¯t let me. ¡°Hey, hey. Come on, now. Come on¡± she said and dragged me away. Goodness. There were so many things I wanted to touch. I just didn¡¯t understand a lot of things that looked different. Why isn¡¯t she letting me huh? We were about leaving the first part of the room when I suddenly saw something that caught my massive attention and this time around, I didn¡¯t let her grip around me hinder me as I wriggled my hand from hers and ran to the wall. It was a very small wood with someone¡¯s face fixed in it. Someone that didn¡¯t look like females¡­ Just like i¡±d seen on our way. This particr person looked really¡­.. beautiful. But who¡¯s she??? And why does she look different from us? She wasn¡¯t having a long hair, no bre*sts, a different facial structure. Something was just different and I¡¯m soo confused. ¡°That¡¯s my son¡± the woman beside me suddenly said and I looked at her, perplexed. Son? What¡¯s a son? * * MARAZONA * * ? HERA¡¯s POV ? I bit my nails in nervousness as mother roared in the throne room. ¡°Noooooooooooooo¡± her voice came ring around. The guards were frozen to the teeth. How the hell did she escape with the treasure??? How could she escape with something that valuable right under our nostrils??? How????¡± She snarled but no one uttered a word. Well, when she¡¯s this angry, nobody drags words with her. ¡°How did she escape?? Tell me!! I want all the guards on watch executed!!! The two guards assigned to her cell when it happened, I want them executed!!!¡± She yelled and they nodded. ¡°Yes, my queen¡± ¡°We need to find her?!?¡± She screamed again ¡°I can¡¯t stay on the throne without the treasure. I need it!!! Wherever she is, I need you to find her!!!¡± ¡°But my queen¡± the chief guard spoke up. ¡°I don¡¯t think she¡¯s in Marazona. Because we¡¯vebed round the entire kingdom, but couldn¡¯t find her¡±. ¡°Then, where¡¯s She???????????¡± ¡°Its¡­. It¡¯s possible she¡¯s gone to the nearest for refuge. The nearest and survivable to Marazona is Earth. So, it¡¯s possible she¡¯s on Earth¡±. He replied and my eyes twitched. Earth? My dreamnd¡­. * * TBC. ? ? Dney Finally Sees Xavier. Queen mother Too is in search for Dney. . Chapter 7 MARAZONA ? HERA¡¯s POV ? Earth, I thought. My dreamnd. My heart beamed at the mention of it. ¡°Its possible she¡¯s on earth?¡± Mother asked . ¡°Yes, my Queen. Although, its just a guess and a probability. Earth is the closest survivable 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 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 ce and might take us weeks to find her. By then, the effect of the treasure would¡¯ve taken ce already¡± she exined. ¡®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. Immediately, mother stood up and faced me. ¡°What do you know about this, Hera?¡± She asked and I lowered my gaze at once. Why¡¯s she asking me such question? I knew she was going to suspect me. ¡°Answer me Hera!!!¡± Anger resounded in her voice and I shook a little. ¡°I¡­. I¡­didn¡¯t do anything, mother¡± I winced and she pped me. Whaaat??? ¡°You were the only stupid friend thatdy had around here. Who else could¡¯ve helped her escape?? Who???¡± She roared in anger but I only held my cheek and wept. ¡°Just pray they find the treasure, Hera. Pray to the saviors they find it¡± . And with that, she walked away. Oh my! Damn you, Dney. How could she do this to me? I helped her escape, yet all she could do was steal the treasure. How could she??? I needed to find her. I needed to make up for my sins. Somehow, I needed to go to earth. * * ? DELANEY¡¯s POV ? ¡°A son?¡± I asked, confused. ¡°What¡¯s a son?¡± ¡®seriously??¡± She scoffed. ¡°Juste with me, okay? When you¡¯ve freshened up, we can talk¡±. She held my hand and continued walking with me. We got to a long strange road that took us higher as we walked on it. This ce is really full of wonders. She took me to the entrance of a room and pushed something that hindered us from entering. I could see the inside immediately and we walked in. Holy¡­. crap. What¡¯s this ce?? It looked like another *house* ¡°You¡¯ll stay here for now till we¡¯re able to talk¡± the woman said but I didn¡¯t even look at her as I continued running my eyes around the extremely beautiful ce. Gosh! Who owns this??? It was damn beautiful. Could this be a different house of its own? ¡°Is¡­. Is this another house?¡± I asked her and she stared at me in a ridiculous way. ¡°It¡¯s a room ¨C actually. Don¡¯t worry, just got in and take your bath. When you¡¯re done, you¡¯ll eat, sleep and when you¡¯re awake, we¡¯ll talk better. Hopefully, your head would be calm by then because I want to believe that¡¯s the problem¡± she said and led me to another ¡°room¡±. ¡°I¡¯m¡­.. sure you know how to bath?¡± She asked and I nodded. Of course, I know how to bath. In Marazona, we do bath in streams. ¡°B ¡­But where¡¯s the stream?¡± I asked her. ¡°What¡­. stream are you talking about? Gosh! You don¡¯t necessarily need a stream to bath, okay? Just go in¡± she said tiredly and pushed me in.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Huh? But how can I possibly bathe without a stream? Am I to roll on ground or something? She took me in and made me na*ked again by unwrapping me. Well, I didn¡¯t feel the slightest shame because she was a female like me. ¡°What¡¯s this? Shouldn¡¯t it be taken off?¡± She asked and touched the treasure on my neck, but I stopped her immediately. ¡°No¡­. I¡¯m okay with it¡± I replied sharply and she seemed a little surprised by my actions. She touched something on the wall and suddenly, I felt water pouring on me. ¡°Arghhh!¡± I shrieked and moved away but she pulled me back. ¡°Hey! Calm down, will you? Why re you scared of the water?¡± She asked and I moved away again. I looked up at the source and discovered it wasing from something that had so many holes. I couldn¡¯t even exin it. ¡°Why¡¯s it raining on me? Is¡­. is there a stream there?¡± I asked, my hands crossed over my chest. ¡°Geez! It¡¯s a shower!¡± She rolled her eyes and pushed me in again. What¡¯s a shower? ¡°Its scary..!¡± I winced as I struggled with the water. If not for her presence there, I¡±d have jumped out of it. * * ? XAVIER¡¯s POV ? ¡°Oh¡­. Yeah ¡°Oh¡­. Xavier¡­. ¡°Yeah¡­.e on¡­. yeah¡­.¡± The bitch moaned softly as I pounced into her from behind. She was facing and holding the wall as I f**ked her and her moans were like music to my ears. School had been boring, but not until Rio provided me with something sweet. Yeah¡­. Rio was my buddy. Just incase you¡¯re wondering, we were actually in thedies restroom and lectures were currently going on. But we excused ourselves to have a little fun. ¡°Xavier¡­. ¡°Urgh¡­ ¡°Xavier yeah¡­.¡± I reached climax and pulled outta her ¨C not without releasing my drops into her tho. It was like heaven. She exhaled deeply as she left the wall, wore on her p*nties and pulled down her skirt ¡°That was sweet¡± she smiled and tried touching me but I moved away from her. . I was already done zipping up. ¡°Hope you know what to do after this? Take the pills¡± I warned her and she nodded. I turned around to leave but she held me back. ¡°Um¡­.. will there be a next time?¡± She asked with a stupid smile and I scoffed. ¡°You must be joking¡± I stated bluntly and left. As soon as I opened the door, I found Chelsea outside. Huh???? ¡°Chelsea?¡± I called in surprise. What¡¯s she doing here? Has she been spying on me or what? ¡°And here I was ¨C thinking you were in the guy¡¯s restroom or doing something else. What¡¯re you doing, Xavier?¡± She asked and I shrugged and arranged my dress. ¡°Well¡­. I was¡­.¡± Immediately, the door behind me opened and the bitch came out. Oh! Perfect. She stared at Chelsea and I and not saying a word, she walked away. I looked at Chelsea and could clearly read the disappointment on her face. Well, what¡¯s with the grumpy look? She knows I¡¯m a yer, anyway. ¡°I¡¯ll¡­. I¡¯ll catch up with youter¡± she said sullenly and started walking away. ¡°Hey. Don¡¯t you think we should have lunch together?¡± I asked after her but she only shook her head negatively and continued walking away. What¡¯s wrong with her? This isn¡¯t first time she¡¯s seeing me screw ady. Well, for her own good, she better kills every damn feeling she has for me. I shrugged and also walked away, taking the opposite direction. I met Rio at the hallway. ¡°Hey, man. You¡¯re done?¡± He asked with a smirk. ¡®Yeah¡­its lunch time already, right?¡± I asked. ¡°Yes. Seems you¡¯re hungry. Well, I wouldn¡¯t me you¡± he chuckled and I nudged him as we walked along. ¡®so, how was she? Hope I did a great job?¡± He asked. ¡°Yeah¡­. definitely. She was damn tight¡­.¡± We chuckled and continued discussing on the way. Well, after Chelsea, it¡¯s Rio. We were actually the three best friends. Rio was a yer just like me ¨C doesn¡¯t believe in love for now. And that¡¯s what makes us the perfect match. * * I noticed Chelsea still looked moody and avoided me throughout the rest of the day in school. She just kept herself hooked up in thepany of her two stubborn friends. Well, she was the least of my problems at that moment. I¡¯m a yer and that¡¯s the only Important thing. After the hectic day at school, it finally came to a close and I headed home. * * ? DELANEY¡¯s POV: ? After forcefully taking my bath in the strange rain, I came out with the woman and she dried up the water from my body and gave me something to wear ¨C something that looked like the leaves she was putting on. ¡°But where did u get this from? Are they really leaves?¡± I asked, still holding it in my hands. ¡°Hell no. It¡¯s fabric, okay? Fabric. Just put it on¡± she said tiredly and I tried wrapping it around my body like we do when we¡¯re putting on leaves. ¡°What¡¯re you doing??¡± She asked and collected it from me. She passed it through my head and fixed my hands at some point and finally, I was putting it on. But it was very short. ¡°This is actually my son¡¯s shirt. Later in the day, I¡¯ll be going out to get you some clothes. But that¡±d be after we¡¯re done talking¡± she said as she led me to sit on the big mattress. Her son¡¯s shirt? ¡°The shirt belongs to the boy in the small wood?¡± I asked and she sighed and touched my hair. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you should reduce the length of your hair? Its quite long¡± she said as she touched the tip and I also did same. ¡°I¡­. I actually think I prefer it this way¡± I replied. Just then, we heard a knock on the door. ¡°Ma¡±am, the cereal¡¯s ready¡± a voice came from outside and the woman left to get it. She opened the whatever and returned with a te of¡­.. What¡¯s this??? ¡°Here. You should eat this so you can have some sleep¡± she cooed as she sat next to me on the bed. ¡°Hold on¡­what¡¯s this? Where did you get it?¡± I asked with an rming look. ¡®stop asking questions and just eat, okay? It¡¯ll make you feel better¡± she replied as she fetched it into a strange thing and brought it close to my lips. Huh? Where did these peoplee from? Everything about them is so strange. I opened my lips and reluctantly collected it. Eww. It tasted¡­. I didn¡¯t even know how to describe it. I wore a crumpled look as I chewed on it and gulped it down. ¡°Come on,e on. Take more¡± the woman urged and pushed more into my mouth and I had to take it. * * When I was done eating, I felt so heavy and full and the woman advised me to sleep on what she called a *bed* It was so big, soft andfy. Life Is so amazing over here for these people, right? Iid on it and drifted to sleep afterwards. * * I don¡¯t know for how long it was, but when I¡±d woken up, I felt really strong and energetic. I had no idea how they did it, but the room was so so cold ¨C like a sweet air was blowing around me I looked around but couldn¡¯t find the woman and decided to check up on her. I left the bed and got to the ce we¡±de in with. What¡¯s this thing anyway? And why do they always open it before they can leave the room? I opened the whatever like I¡±d seen the woman do and it took me outside I started walking, taking the same route we¡±de in with and I found the long strange road that¡±d probably lead me downwards. When we¡±d been climbing on it, it took us upwards. But now , it looked like it was going to take me downwards. I started walking slowly and carefully on it, praying vividly I don¡¯t fall. I climbed on then, one after the other and finally got to the end of it. Hmmmm. Atst. I was now in the big room ¨C the big room that had big chairs and so many beautiful but strange things. I think its time I explore them. I was about making a move when someone suddenly walked in from the entrance. Hah!!!! It was one of those people that looked different from females. I turned properly in shock to look at her and she also stopped walking when she saw me. An unexined look crept into her face ¨C a look of horror, surprise and confusion. She looked at me from head to toe and scoffed. Wait! Now, I remember!! She¡¯s the same person I¡±d seen in that small wood ¨C the person the woman had referred to as *son* She¡¯s the son!!! Oh my! ¡°Who the hell are you?¡± He asked with a quizzical look. ¡°And what¡¯re you doing with my shirt???¡± * * TBC¡­ Chapter 8 Xavier¡¯s Pov: I¡±d returned home from school only to meet a strangedy 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 starteding 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. ¡°Xavier??¡± She called and rushed to us. * * Dney¡¯s Pov: She was so beautiful ¨C but different. Why¡¯s she acting like she doesn¡¯t like me? Well, its probably because I¡¯m a stranger to her. ¡°Xavier?¡± I heard someone call and turned to see the woman. Oh! ¡°Hey Dney, what¡¯re you doing here?? Why did you leave your room?¡± She asked and held my hand. And I took my eyes back to the son. ¡°Its your son, right?¡± I asked. ¡®she looks so different from us. Where¡¯re her bre*sts? Where are her¡­.¡± ¡°Mum, who the hell is this???¡± She cut me off with a spiteful look. ¡°First of all, what¡¯s she doing here? Secondly, whys she in my shirt??? Thirdly, why¡¯s she referring to me as a *she* or whatever??¡± ¡°Calm down Xavier, please. I¡¯ll¡­I¡¯ll exin everything to you, okay? Just¡­. go into your room, freshen up. And I¡¯ll be with you shortly¡± the woman said quickly and held my hand. ¡°You¡¯re beautiful¡± I said to the son before she finally dragged me away. * * ¡°Why did you leave your room, Dney? Why did you have to go out? I¡¯m trying to figure out what¡¯s wrong with you¡± the woman queried as soon as we got into the room. ¡°I¡¯m¡­. I¡¯m sorry. But when I¡±d woken up, I couldn¡¯t find anyone in the room. And¡­I decided to search for you¡± I replied, feeling a little bad she was angry. ¡°Gosh! Anyway, that¡¯s my son. And you need to be careful around him, okay? He can be pesky at times¡±. Him? He? ¡°Why¡¯re you calling her that? Is that her name? He?¡± I asked with a bemused look and she gasped. ¡°Jesus! Are you for real?? Over here, you don¡¯t refer to him as ¡®she¡±. He¡¯s a male, okay? Not a female¡± she enthused. ¡®really? There¡¯s a difference, right?¡± I asked. ¡°Well, of course. There¡¯s a huge difference. He¡¯s a boy. And you¡¯re a girl!¡± A boy, the word resounded in my head. ¡°Come on,e with me¡± she held my hand and took me to the bed, making us face each other. ¡°Now, I want you to tell me nothing but the truth. Okay?¡± She said and I just nodded perfunctorily. ¡°Where exactly do youe from?¡± Huh??? My eyes itched at the mention of that. Oh saviors! I knew she was going to ask about that. What do I do? Really, I¡¯m acting weird. I mean, everything is strange here. So, you wouldn¡¯t me me. But what do I do? Do I really tell her the truth? ¡°Hey Dney, talk to me¡± she tapped me on the hand and I looked at her. I gulped nervously and licked my lower lip ¡°Actually¡­¡± I began. ¡°Ie from a different ce ¨C a different. And¡­. this is actually my first time on earth¡±. Her eyes dimmed immediately. ¡°Whaaat??¡± She shrieked. ¡°You¡¯re an alien??¡± What¡¯s alien? ¡°Woah! Hold on¡­what¡¯s the name of your? I mean¡­where are you from?¡± She asked, clearly dripping in curiosity. ¡°Its¡­. Its called Marazona. I¡¯m not so sure you¡¯ve heard of it. But over there, only females exist¡±. ¡°Females??? So¡­. how do you reproduce? How do you give birth?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t. I mean.. I haven¡¯t seen anyone give birth. We¡¯re just growing. There¡¯s¡­. there¡¯s no new one among us¡±. ¡°Whaaat??? This is just super crappy amazing¡± she eximed and I wondered what she meant. ¡®so, you¡¯re trying to say¡­. you¡¯re just like amunity and you don¡¯t have any new ones amongst you? So, how did you came to be in the first ce? Did you guys just fell from the sky or what?¡± Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t know the answer to that and I just shrugged. ¡°Okay, okay¡± she took in deep breaths. ¡®so¡­Dney, let¡¯s assume what you¡¯re saying is true. Why then did you leave your *? What¡¯re doing here on earth? Are you on a mission?¡± She asked and I bit my nail. I Can¡¯t tell her that, can I? ¡°Actually¡­. I had to leave. My¡­my people no longer needed me there. They¡¯ve been so cruel to me and I was forced to leave¡± I replied, hoping she¡±d be confused. She stared at the treasure on my neck and touched it ¡°Did you get it from there?¡± She asked and I nodded and moved back a bit so she¡±d stop touching it. ¡°Gosh¡± he muttered and sighed. ¡®so, what do you n to do? Do you know someone here?¡± She asked and I shook my head vigorously. I didn¡¯t even know a fly. ¡®so, what¡¯re your ns, then? When you wereing here, what did you n to do?¡± ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t even know I¡±d being to earth. I just needed to leave the as soon as possible and I grabbed the slightest opportunity I¡±d seen. You¡¯re the first person I¡¯m meeting on earth¡± I added thest part in a whisper. ¡®seriously?¡± She mumbled and touched her hair. She didn¡¯t say a word for a while and finally stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll check up on youter. Okay?¡± She said and I nodded like a child. Please, just tell me she¡¯s someone I can trust. Well, she doesn¡¯t look harmful, does she? I watched her as she opened the door and left the room. * * Xavier¡¯s Pov: I stood outside the door and listened to the unbelievable conversation between mom and the *alien* Hold on¡­is this woman kidding my ass???

Suddenly, the door opened and her jaws dropped when she found me there. ¡°Xavier??¡± She called in surprise. ¡°What¡¯re you¡­. what¡¯re you doing here?¡± ¡®seriously mum?¡± I scoffed. ¡°Are you asking me that??

Chapter 9 Dney¡¯s Pov: As soon as she left, I started hearing voices outside the room ¨C 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 na*ked in front of him? Immediately, his mum walked in. ¡°Hey! Xavier. 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 the woman wrapped it on in the first ce. ¡°Why the heck did she just call me her son?¡± I heard him ask. ¡°Hey, hey, Dney. What do you think you¡¯re doing? Stop it¡± the woman rushed to me and held my hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, okay?¡± She said and I nodded and she turned back to the son. ¡°Now,e with me!¡± She said strictly and forced him out of the room. * * Xavier¡¯s Pov; ¡®seriously, mum; you wanna harbor a stranger in the house?? An alien?¡± I demanded as I stood with her in the room. ¡®she¡¯s human, Xavier. So, stop acting like she¡¯s a ghost or something¡± she replied, getting me more bemused. ¡°Hold on; so what? You just picked a randomdy from the street and decide to keep her here? For how long would she have to stay here, mum? Seriously?¡± ¡°Xavier please. The most important thing is keeping her safe for now. Besides, she seems to be a loveable person. She¡­¡± ¡°A loveable person?¡± I scoffed ¡®someone that refers to me as a girl? That calls me her son? With her hair so long and untidy¡­ She¡¯s aplete alien, mum. You can¡¯t be serious about keeping her here. What if she¡¯s just pretending? What if she¡¯s actually an assassin? Or a spy? Or something more?¡± ¡°You¡¯re totally wrong. I¡¯ve studied her, okay? She¡¯s harmless. And even if you¡¯re right, then I¡¯m ready to bear the consequences. But for now, just let her be. Okay?¡± Gosh! I rolled my eyes and tucked my hands into my trouser pocket. ¡°Besides, you know I¡¯ve always wanted to have a girl around me¡± she added with a pout. ¡°Just make sure she stays away from me¡± I stated tantly and walked out of the room. * * Chelsea¡¯s Pov: I sat sullenly in the sitting room, my eyes glued to the TV, although my attention was elsewhere. So many thoughts kept flying through my mind and ruined my mood. Shortly, I heard some feet pping down the steps and turned to see it was mum. She walked with her hands busy in her bag. ¡°Honey, I¡¯m off to work, okay? Hopefully, I might be back before you leave for school tomorrow¡± she said in a brisk and I scoffed. Seriously??This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Hold on; are you sleeping at the office again??¡± I asked and she stopped to look at me. A look of guilt crept into her face. Well, of course, she should feel guilty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry baby. Okay? The call just came in urgently and I really need to leave now. Okay?¡± She cooed and I stared at the floor in a pathetic way. ¡°Baby¡­..e on¡± ¡°Dad is out of the country. And you¡¯re sleeping at the office. Seriously mum; what am I to you guys?¡±I asked a bit angry. ¡°Well¡­. why don¡¯t you go to Xavier? You can spend sometime with him right?¡± I rolled my eyes and looked away. ¡°Hey; its something wrong?¡± She asked, noticing my strange behavior at the mention of Xavier. ¡°Chelsea, talk to me. Are you two having issues?¡± ¡°No¡± I mumbled, staring down at my nails. ¡°Then, what¡¯s the problem, huh? Tell me¡±. I sniffed and looked at her. ¡°Could you¡­. spare me a minute? I¡±d love to ask a question¡±. ¡°Okay, sure¡± she hushed and sat next to me. I took in a deep breath before proceeding. ¡°What do you when¡­. someone you love is actually a yer?¡± I asked and her jaws dropped. Damn! I needed to ask. ¡°Is it Xavier?¡± She asked and I nodded slowly and she sighed. Well, the thing is ¨C I was truly in love with Xavier. But the fact that he¡¯s a yer keeps breaking my heart. He isn¡¯t ready for love. ¡°Well¡­.¡± She tries speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by a phone call which she received. Hello? what?? He¡¯s there already??? Oh my! Please, stall him a little. Just give me 10 minutes and I¡¯ll be there, please. Yes, do all you can¡± By this time, she was already on the feet with her bag. She ended the call and threw the phone into her bag. ¡°I¡¯m so so sorry, baby. But one of the major clients is about leaving. Don¡¯t be angry, okay? I¡¯ll¡­. I¡¯ll call you over the phone so we can talk about it. Okay? I love you¡± she bubbled. She pecked me on the cheek and ran out of the room, leaving me in ultimate shock. * * Dney¡¯s Pov: I sat quietly in the room for a long time, doing nothing. And after a while, Iid on the bed. I was so bored. Suddenly, I heard someone hitting the door and sprang on my feet. Who¡¯s there?? Who¡¯s hitting the entrance?? Why¡¯s there even a door in a room? ¡°Who¡¯s it?¡± I asked but didn¡¯t get a reply? Could it be the woman? But she doesn¡¯t hit at the door beforeing in. I got to it and opened it like I¡±d seen her opening and to my greatest surprise, I found the son standing there. Huh? What¡¯s he doing here? * WHAT DO U THINK WILL HAPPEN NEXT * Chapter 10 Dney 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 exined everything to your mum already¡± I replied. ¡°Well, I¡¯m not my mom and need my own exnation¡± Huh?? ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but¡­. It¡¯s a long story and I don¡¯t think I can exin 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. * * Xavier¡¯s Pov: Seriously, I don¡¯t understand mums reasons for wanting to keep thisdy here. What exactly are her ns? Is she gonna stay here forever? I may be a yer, but I hate it when a particrdy¡¯s stuck around me. I hate seeing a repeated female face. Chelsea¡¯s the only female friend I have and I don¡¯t think I¡±d be able to cope with someone else b Somehow, I think I¡±d have to send thisdy away. * * Dney¡¯s Pov: After a while, a maid showed up and told me I was being called by the woman who wanted us to go out. Hmm. Where does she n on taking me? I followed the maid to what she¡±d referred to as a *sitting room* and I sat on one of the good looking chairs. I couldn¡¯t find the woman and the maid asked me to sit and wait for her. Probably, she was on her way. Hmmm I tapped my legs as I sat all alone in the big beautiful room. I guess the people on earth were so lucky because life seemed soo easy herepared to Marazona. I smiled and stood up to feed my eyes. Yes¡­. just to view¡­I wasn¡¯t going to touch anything. I folded my hands behind my back and looked around. Wow!! So many interesting things. Incredible. I smiled as I walked around and my eyes caught something more interesting. Wo!! I gasped and looked at it more intently. It was a mirror!!! My own reflection!! I giggled and touched it and seeing my face made me so happy. Wow!! I was so beautiful, wasn¡¯t i? Although, the mirror looked different. It was dark and t. In Marazona, we only had one mirror and that was the sacred mirror found only in the Queen¡¯s room. I¡±d only had the opportunity to use it twice when Hera had snuck me in. I smiled and touched it. It felt so good seeing my own reflection. But I saw something like buttons on it and wondered what they were. Hm. Well, I guess everything about earth was different. Mistakenly, my hands touched one of the buttons and I flinched when I saw a light from the mirror. Whaaaat? I moved back to observe and to my greatest surprise, I saw people In it. My head spun in confusion and anxiety. What¡¯s happening? Where are these peopleing from?? Who¡¯re they??? I watched in fear as they did things I couldn¡¯t understand. What sort of mirror is this?? I ran to the back to see if there was a door or something. But there wasn¡¯t. What¡¯s happening???? It was so scary that I didn¡¯t realize when I screamed. ¡°Arghhhhhhhhhhhh¡± And I pushed the mirror hard to the floor, making it crash. * * MARAZONA * * Hera¡¯s Pov: I walked into mother¡¯s room and found her sitting on the bed, drinking from the wooden cup. ¡°You sent for me, mother¡± I said with a bow and she sighed and ced the cup beside her. ¡®sit¡± she instructed and I nervously sat beside her. For a while, she was silent. ¡°Why did you let her go?¡± She asked and I felt my heart skip again. Oh! Saviors¡­. are we still on this? I bit my lower lip and stared down at my fingers, unable to give a reply. ¡°You just risked a lot of things, Hera. A lot of things¡± she sighed and gulped down the liquid from the cup. ¡°We the Marazons¡± she began ¡°We actually came from men. A long long ago, we were living in a peaceful ce where the gender was mixed. We had men and women¡±. What¡¯s she talking about? What¡¯s men? ¡°I¡±d fallen in love with someone, but a witch took him from me. She made him hate me and that was how I lost him. She actually became pregnant for him, while I became pregnant for someone else ¨C a man who never cared about me. A man who made me suffer so much.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. A war had broken out which led to the deaths of many ¨C including the man I was pregnant for, your father. Then, the females formed a union and decided to run to another ¨C Marazona. Only females made it and at that time, I was yet to give birth. Unfortunately, the witch who betrayed me was made queen over us becauseing to Marazona was actually her idea. So, the rest of the fools made her queen. Few weekster, she put to bed and I also did same. She gave birth to a daughter, while I gave birth to you. And when luck shun on me, she got missing after a few days. She actually dumped her daughter and left for earth¡±. She paused and sighed. ¡®she¡¯s Dney¡¯s mother ¨C the first Queen of Marazona. ¡°The truth is¡­.. I was the reason she left, Hera. And¡­I believe she¡¯s on earth. If she¡¯s still alive and she gets to see Dney, I¡¯m afraid something bad might happen. I¡¯m afraid she might recognize her somehow and do something evil with the treasure. My reign would be over, Hera. I¡±d be gone¡±. I could see so much pains in her eyes as she spoke and my heart tore into pieces at the sight of that. Oh! What have I done? ¡°You risked a lot of things, Hera¡± she winced. ¡°You¡¯re trying to destroy everything I¡¯ve worked so hard for¡±. I sniffed and ced my palm on hers. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, mother¡±. I said.? ¡°I¡¯m sorry for helping her. I just¡­. I just didn¡¯t want her dead because¡­. I reallymitted the crime she was being punished for. Imitted the crime and put the me on her¡±. She looked at me in surprise and guilt gripped me. ¡°But I promise you¡­.¡± I continued. ¡°I¡¯ll go to earth, I¡¯ll find Dney and I¡¯ll bring the treasure back¡± * *TBC¡­. Chapter 11 Dney¡¯s Pov: The woman came running into the room immediately. ¡°Oh my God!!¡± She eximed and ced her hand on her chest. Her eyes were fixed to the strange mirror on the floor which was already broken. ¡°What the hell did you do? What happened to the television?¡± She asked in an rming tone. Tele what? What did she just call it? ¡°Oh! Dney¡­What happened?¡± She grouse. At that moment, the son stepped in and his eyes widened in shock as well. ¡°I¡­. I saw people moving in them. It was¡­. it was scary¡± I stuttered to the woman. Why do I feel like¡­. I did something wrong? ¡°Hold on; she broke the television on purpose?¡± The son asked and I took my gaze to the floor immediately. Why do they keep calling it television? Or is that what it is over here? Do they call their mirrors televisions?? ¡®seriously mum, Is this the kind of attitude you wanna tolerate here? I¡¯m¡­.¡± The son tried speaking but paused and groaned. ¡°This is just unbelievable¡± he muttered and walked away. Why¡¯s everyone mad at me? ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± I turned to the woman and said. ¡°I¡­. I didn¡¯t know.. I mean¡­I saw people walking in them and I was scared they were¡­.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s because it¡¯s a movie, Dney! A movie! What did you expect??¡± She said with a little rancour and sighed. Movie? What¡¯s a movie? Why¡¯s everything just being confusing, huh? ¡°Anyway¡± she continued. ¡°You can go back to your room and rest. I¡¯ll just have one of the guards take care of this¡± she pointed to the strange mirror on the floor. ¡°Um¡­. I thought we were going out? One of the maids actually¡­..¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I¡±d intended taking you out for shopping. But an urgent call just came in now and I need to leave right away. So, don¡¯t worry, we can just go in the morning¡± she replied and started walking away. ¡°Ma¡±am¡± I called her the name I¡±d been hearing the maids call. ¡°I¡¯m¡­. I¡¯m hungry¡±. ¡°Oh. Um¡­. go to the kitchen, you¡¯ll find a maid there. Ask her to give you some food, okay? I¡¯m runningte already. So bye¡± she replied quickly and hurried out the door. Hmm. Where¡¯s the kitchen? I turned around and looked at the broken mirror on the floor. Why does it seem important to them, huh? And why were they acting like¡­. the people moving in the mirror were normal? I was about walking away when the door opened and the handsome son walked in with a strange boy. Someone I¡±d never seen before. ¡°Woahhh¡± the new boy eximed, his eyes on the broken mirror. ¡°What happened to the television?¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Hmm. The whole time, I was staring at him. I couldn¡¯t believe they had a lot of males over here. ¡°All thanks to the alien¡± the son replied with an eye roll. The new boy lifted his eyes and rested them on me. ¡°And who¡¯s she, dude? Is she a new house help? But¡­.. isn¡¯t that your shirt?¡± He asked and pointed to me. ¡®seriously, Rio. I don¡¯t wanna talk about it now. Come on¡± the son replied and started walking away. The new boy kept staring as they walked pass me. ¡°Um¡­. son¡± I called back their attention and he turned to look at me with a scoff. ¡°Hey; I¡¯m not your son, okay? My name is Xavier¡± He said with a disgruntled look. Huh? ¡°Xa¡­Xafier?¡± I tried pronouncing it and his friendughed. ¡°Its Xavier, okay? Xavier¡±. ¡°Okay. Xavier¡± I repeated with a nod. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but¡­. where¡¯s the kitchen, please?¡± He wore a crumpled look and was about saying something when a maid showed up. ¡°Perfect¡± he mumbled and walked away with his friend. Hmm. How rude. ¡°Please, where¡¯s the kitchen?¡± I asked ¡°This way, ma¡±am¡± she replied and led the way. We took a corner and entered a different room and a *wow* escaped my lips immediately. Good saviors! What a kitchen!! Why¡¯s everything about this ce so different? Why? ¡°What would you love to eat, Miss?¡± The maid asked but I couldn¡¯t reply as I continued gazing round the incredible room. I saw a lot of amazing things. I walked over to a table that had some good looking things on it. ¡°Are these eatable?* I asked the maid, pointing to a particr te. ¡°Of course, Miss. Those are bananas¡± she replied and I arched my brows in surprise. Bananas? What are bananas? I plucked one out and started eating it and¡­.. Gross!!!? It was damn bitter! What¡¯s this??? ¡°Hey; hey; why¡¯re you chewing it that way? You didn¡¯t peel off the back¡± she ran to me and said as I chewed with a crumpled look. What back? I wondered? ¡°That isn¡¯t how its done, miss. You should¡¯ve¡­.¡± ¡°No, no. Give me something else. It isn¡¯t sweet¡± I stopped her from plucking out another. It tasted so¡­gross. She shrugged and got me something else. This time around, she called it rice. Wonders. She¡±d given me a strange object to use with, but I couldn¡¯t and insisted on using my hands instead. Hmm. It was delicious. * * When I was done from the kitchen, I left so I could return to my room but unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t locate the room. Well, the house was so big and different and you wouldn¡¯t me. Still turning and turning around, I came across a room with familiar voices. I stopped and ced my ear on the door so I could listen properly. It was the woman¡¯s son and his friend. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s a good idea going there?¡± I heard his voice. ¡°Of course, dude. There¡¯s gonna be plenty of asses to f**k¡± his friend replied and I cringed. What¡¯s asses? And what¡¯s f**k? ¡°Do you think Chelsea would be there?¡± The son asked again. ¡°Well¡­. it¡¯s possible. So, she didn¡¯t speak to you throughout the rest day in school?¡± Chelsea. I think that¡¯s a female. ¡°Yeah¡­. I¡¯ve got no idea what her problem is, anyway¡±. ¡°Come on, dude. Hurry up . the earlier we go, the better for us¡­..¡± Hmm. It seems they¡¯re going out? I left the door and walked away, taking the long thing called *stairs* Where are they going to huh? It sounds fun. His mother isn¡¯t at home. And now¡­. he also wants to go out? They wanna leave me all alone? What if¡­.. I go out with him? I walked out of the house and looked around. They normally go out with the tiny houses, right? The ones they call cars? Hmm. How do I identify the car they¡±d be going out with? They were so many of them. I bit my nails and did a guess work. There was a red house ¨C sorry car ¨C closer to the house and I ran towards it and opened the back door. The inside was very dark but I got in andid on the seat. I wonder why they call this a car. Its almost like a house. I breathed heavily as Iid on the car and not long after, I heard their voces. They were talking andughing so noisily. Good saviors. I hope they¡¯re making use of this car. Their voices and footsteps got closer and closer until I heard the front doors opening. I was in the right car!!! ¡°You sure you wanna drive?¡± I heard his friend ask. ¡°Yeah¡­. leave it to me¡± the son replied and immediately, the car started moving. * * TBC. Chapter 12 Dney¡¯s Pov: I tried as much as possible not to make any sound as Iid in the moving house. Oh; the car. ¡®so¡­ Your mother¡¯s gonna be adopting the strangedy?¡± I heard his friend ask. ¡°Yeah¡­and that¡¯s so yuck? I seriously don¡¯t get what¡¯s wrong with mum. Did you see thatdy? She¡¯s an alien, dude. She actually broke the television, iming she saw people moving in them. What the heck???¡± The son replied, making his friendugh. So, they were talking about me? ¡°But seriously, I think she¡¯s damn beautiful¡± his friend said and I felt my cheeks be hot. ¡°Who¡¯s beautiful? With that long dirty hair of hers? She can¡¯t even¡­.¡± ¡°Oh! Cut it out, Xavier. She¡¯s pretty and you know it. You¡¯re just being grumpy¡±. ¡°Yeah¡­whatever. But you know me, Rio. I hate it when I¡¯m stuck with a particrdy. I¡¯m a yboy and I hate¡­..¡± ¡°Yeah¡­Whatever. Tell that to your mum¡±. I heardughter and they began talking about something else which made me feel better. So, he hates my presence in the house? If only I had an option. But, thinking of it, for how long would I need to stay with them? What if people from Marazkna were already looking for me? I paused and touched the treasure on my neck. Well, there¡¯s Noway I¡¯m ever letting go of it. Its my own way of punishing the Queen for her cruelty. * * After a long while, I felt the car stop moving. Are we there already? ¡°Time for fun!¡± I heard the son say and next were sound of doors opening. I remained still and quiet in the car till I couldn¡¯t hear a sound anymore. * * Xavier¡¯s Pov: I got out of car with Rio and walked towards the house. It was actually a little birthday party from a ssmate. Although, her parents were rich, she didn¡¯t want to celebrate it in a big way but just decided to hold a little house party for us. As expected, I was invited. Well, if Xavier Maddox isn¡¯t in a party, its useless. ¡°He¡¯s here!!!¡± Thedies eximed as soon as they spotted Rio and I. Hmph.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Mitchell ¨C the celebrant ¨C stood up immediately and ran to me. ¡°Oh! Xavier¡­I was beginning to think you wouldn¡¯t show up anymore. Thank goodness you made it¡± she giggled. ¡®Yeah¡­. anything for my birthday girl. Happy birthday¡± I cooed and pecked her and her cheeks became red instantly. Hm. I couldn¡¯t wait to screw that ass. I looked around but couldn¡¯t find Chelsea. Didn¡¯t she attend? ¡°Hello Xavier¡± more greetings kepting in as Rio and I settled down. Even the boys present gave me respect. ¡®so, what do we have for fun?¡± One of them asked and immediately, a loud music was turned on, resulting to a massive dance floor. * * Dney¡¯s Pov: After staying in the car for a long time and making sure they weren¡¯t around anymore, I opened the door and stepped out. Wow! My waist was hurting like hell. I stretched and looked around, I was in a different house and heard a loud sound from a particr direction. So¡­now, I¡¯m here. What¡¯s next? I looked around and became really confused, not knowing what else to do. Maybe, I should check out the direction of the loud sound. I started walking towards it, making sure my steps were slow and soundless. As I got closer, the sound became clearer. And finally, I found them. Huh? There were so many of them ¨C boys and girls. I made sure I was well hidden behind a wall as I watched them dance and do strange things. They seemed to be having fun. I spotted the son ¨C what¡¯s his name again? A girl was sitting on his legs, while he drank noisily. And suddenly, I saw something else ¨C I saw a boy and a girl cing their lips on each other. Huh? What¡¯re they doing?? They were both¡­. sucking each other¡¯s lips. What the¡­. What¡¯re they doing?? I made a crumpled look as I stared at them. It looked really gross. Why would they be s**king each other¡¯s lips huh? I watched them for a long time and after a while, decided to go elsewhere. Maybe, I should just take a look outside. I started looking around for an exit and found a tall wall ¨C a fence. I climbed on it and sessfully got outside. Wow! But it was so dark. Where do I start from? I marked the building properly so I¡±d be able to find my way back and with that, I started walking away. I walked for a long time and finally came out to a busy ce. Good saviors!! It was sooo beautiful. I stood on a fixed point and admired the Paradise. Was earth really this beautiful??? Holy goodness¡­¡­ I opened my mouth in shock as I stared at the different lights, people and event. So many things to try out!!! I tried running to a particr direction, but suddenly, a car from nowhere shed lights at me and was on the verge of hitting me when I screamed and fell on the floor. Thank goodness the car stopped immediately. What the hell???? I lifted my head to the car and saw a pretty woman running out from it. ¡°Hey! I¡¯m so sorry. Were you hurt?¡± She asked as she rushed to me and helped me from the floor. Wow! She was so beautiful. ¡°Oh, dearie. Why weren¡¯t you careful? Did you get hurt?¡± She asked again, holding my hand. ¡°I¡¯m¡­. I¡¯m fine¡± I replied and fred my hand from hers. I checked myself to be sure I wasn¡¯t bruised in anyway. ¡°What¡¯re you doing out here dressed like this? And why were you running?¡± She asked and I pondered. What¡¯s wrong with my dress? ¡°I¡­.¡± I paused and looked at my knee. I can¡¯t see what¡¯s wrong with my dress. Isn¡¯t this the kind of leaves they make use of? Something started ringing from her bag immediately. ¡°Um¡­. I need to leave now, okay? Just stay out of trouble and go home? Okay?¡± She said briskly and I just nodded as she hurried back to her car. I watched keenly as she opened the door and went in, then moved the car afterwards and a smile touched my lips. Gosh! She was soo beautiful. I stood like a statue and watched the car until it¡±d gotten lost and couldn¡¯t be spotted anymore and then, I came back to my senses. Hmmm I was about walking away when I noticed something different about me. I gasped and touched my neck. It was empty. No!!!! The treasure!!! Where is it??? * * TBC. Chapter 13 Xavier¡¯s Pov: I excused myself from the party and reached for my phone so I could call Chelsea. I just wanted to be sure she was fine. I walked to a more quiet ce before cing the call and after a few beeps, she picked up. ¡°Hello?¡± She called on the phone, like she didn¡¯t know I was the one calling or something. ¡°Chelsea?¡± I also called. ¡°Hey; what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡­. I¡¯m fine¡± she replied, sounding a little cold. ¡°Um¡­where are you?¡± I asked. ¡°At home¡±.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Oh! Why didn¡¯t youe for Mitchell¡¯s party?¡± There was a brief silence. ¡°I just¡­. I¡¯m¡­I¡¯m tired and having a little head ache¡±. ¡°Oh! Is it that serious?¡± ¡°No; no. Not really. I¡¯ll be fine, please. Don¡¯t worry about it¡±. ¡°Okay then. You know¡­. its so unlike you to miss parties. So, I was just wondering if there was a problem¡±. ¡°No, not at all. I¡¯m fine. Um¡­. don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯lle over in the morning so we could leave for school together. What do you think?¡± ¡°Hmmm. That¡±d be great. You know I don¡¯t have a problem with that. Just take care of yourself, okay?¡± ¡°Of course. Enjoy the party. Bye Xavier¡±. ¡°Bye¡±. And I ended the call with a smile. Hmm. At least, my conscience can be clear a bit. Now¡­. its time to screw some bi*ches. Mitchell was already waiting for me in her room. I fixed the phone into my pocket and was about walking away when a call came in and I brought it out to see it was mum. Huh? ¡°Hello?¡± I said on the phone as soon as I picked the call. ¡°Xavier. Where are you?¡± She asked immediately, not replying to my greeting. ¡°I¡¯m¡­at the party. I told you about it, right?¡± I replied. ¡°Yes. Hold on¡­. is Dney with you?¡± She asked and I flinched. ¡°Who¡¯s Dney? Wait¡­. the alien?¡± I scoffed. ¡°Yes. You know her,, Xavier. Is she there with you?¡± She asked. ¡°And why the heck would she be with me? Of course, she isn¡¯t, mum. Gosh!¡± ¡°Huh?? She isn¡¯t there with you?? Then where¡¯s she? I can¡¯t find her at home, Xavier. None of the maids had seen either. Where¡¯s she?¡± For a moment, I was stunned. ¡°Woahh! Well¡­. I guess she¡¯s probably returned to her alien world¡± I said with an eye roll. ¡°This isn¡¯t a joke, Xavier. She¡¯s new around here. How¡¯re we sure she¡¯s safe? What could¡¯ve happened to her?¡± ¡°Well¡­. I¡¯ve got no idea, mum. Maybe¡­¡± ¡°Are you sure she didn¡¯t go out with you?¡± ¡°Hell no. Rio was the only person that left the house with me. Listen, don¡¯t worry about it, mum. Besides, you don¡¯t even know her from Adam, right? You just get to meet her for the first ball today. So, its possible she¡¯s ran off already. Just let it be, okay?¡± She sighed despondently. ¡°I just¡­. I just feel ufortable, Xavier. Why would she just leave the house for no reason?¡± She asked but I didn¡¯t say a word. I don¡¯t get why¡¯s she so worried over a stranger. ¡°I.. I need to look for her¡± she finally said and ended the call. Hmm. I sighed and fixed my phone into my pocket, going to meet my a*s * * Alicia¡¯s Pov: ¡°Alicia! Alicia!!¡± Mum yelled my name as I clumped down the ugly creaky steps. ¡°What is it, mum? Why¡¯re you screaming my name like it¡¯s for sale?¡± I said with an eye roll as I finally met her in the sitting room. Grandma was there as well, doing what she knew how to do best with her needle and thread. ¡°Have you gone nuts?¡± Mum snapped. ¡°Anyway, what happened to the money in my bag? I can¡¯t find it anymore¡± she and I itched my hair. ¡°I don¡¯t get. Why¡¯re you asking me, huh? Its not like I¡¯m a bag security or something¡­.¡± ¡°Will you shut that trap of yours and answer my question?? What happened to the money??? It was here some hours ago. But as soon as you came home, its gone. What happened to it??¡± She half yelled and I ced my hand at akimbo. ¡°Well¡­. I have no idea. Although, I was in need of some cash and I remember asking you for it, but you bluntly said you weren¡¯t having anything on you. So¡­.¡± Before I could finish up my statement, she picked up and shoe and threw it at me. Ouch! Luckily, I missed and started towards the door. ¡°Alicia!! Alicia!! I¡¯m gonna cut off your ears!¡± She yelled as she ran after me, but I didn¡¯t let her get me. I ran as fast as I could, out of the house, out of thepound and out to to street and that was when she stopped chasing me. Holy Mary!! My chest!! I ced my palm on my chest and panted heavily as I stood at a dark corner, when I was sure she wasn¡¯t after me. What a mother. Gosh!! If I didn¡¯t act that way, I¡±d have been looking like a lunatic. Well, what do I expect? Having such azy mother who acts like she¡¯s 19? I itched my head and took in deep breaths. I couldn¡¯t recall thest time I¡±d ran this much. I was about walking away when I saw something that gripped my attention from the floor. I arched my brows and picked it up. It was a pretty ne¡­. yeah.. looked like a ne. And it looked really¡­.. special and different. What¡¯s this? * * TBC. Chapter 14 Dney¡¯s Pov: I rushed back to the fence I¡±d jumped out from. Oh! Dney; I just pray I find it. On the way, I kept looking at the floor, but there was no sign of it until I¡±d gotten to the fence. I searched and searched around, but still couldn¡¯t find it. It wasn¡¯t on the floor. Good saviors! Where could it be? Luckily, I found ady close by. She was just standing and staring at me and I went ahead to meet her. ¡°Um¡­. hi. Did you¡­any chance, see something on the floor?¡± I asked and she gave me an uncanny stare. ¡°Wh¡­. What¡¯s that?¡± She arched her brows and asked and I looked around. ¡°Its¡­.. its actually¡­¡± Oh! Dney¡­ I shouldn¡¯t be telling anyone about this. ¡°Its tied to a rope. Did you see it?¡± I asked her and she shrugged. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I¡¯m not a thief¡± she replied and walked away. Oh! Goodness. What have I done? Maybe it had fallen close to the car or something. I just need to check. I climbed the fence and jumped back to thepound. And immediately, I started looking around. I couldn¡¯t afford to lose the treasure. I just couldn¡¯t. I searched all the way to the car. And to make it worst, I bumped into someone ¨C The son¡¯s friend. I think his name is Rio. He scoffed and stared at me in shock. ¡°You??¡± He called. * * Alicia¡¯s Pov: After picking up the treasure, I saw adying towards me and quickly hid it beneath my shirt. She looked¡­. funny. She was wearing just a shirt and walked around bare footed. And she kept looking at the floor. ¡°Um¡­hi. Did you¡­by any chance¡­see something on the floor?¡± She turned to me and asked. ¡°Wh¡­What¡¯s that?¡± I asked and she looked around again. ¡°It¡¯s¡­its actually tied to a rope¡± she replied reluctantly. Hmm. No doubt she¡¯s looking for the same thing I¡¯m holding. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I¡¯m not a thief¡± I replied her and left. That was convincing, right? As soon as I was out of sight, I brought the treasure out from my shirt and looked at it. It looked¡­. I don¡¯t know. But it looked strange. Hmph. Anyway, its none of my business. I was pretty sure it¡±d fetch me some money. And that¡¯s exactly what I¡¯m gonna do with it. * * I fixed it back into my shirt and hurried home. Getting to the door, I remembered mom. Gosh! What if she¡¯s in, huh? And decided to continue from where she stopped? I wish she¡±d just leave me alone. I exhaled deeply and opened the door. Actually, my mum and I could be close at times, but sometimes, we¡¯re like cats and dogs. She¡¯s too rough for my liking and doesn¡¯t act like a mother sometimes. I wonder how she¡±d given birth to me in the first ce. I don¡¯t even know my dad. Well, yeah. I grew up without a father and she¡¯s just never talked about him. * * I walked into the house and spotted grandma in the kitchen. Well, the house was kinda small and the kitchen was facing the sitting room. She turned to look at me and resumed with what she was doing. Hm. Where¡¯s mum? I looked around the room, but there was no trace of her. And quickly, I ran upstairs to my room. Oh! Please, don¡¯t think the stairs are ssic or something. They¡¯re actually some pathetic stairs, looking like they led to hell. I got into my room and took out the treasure. Hmm. Guess mum had chased me to my blessing. I smiled and hid it carefully in my bag. Then, left for the kitchen to meet grandma. ¡°Hey granny¡± I beamed as soon as I joined her. She was blending some tomatoes. ¡°Are you done running?¡± She asked and I rolled my eyes. That reminds me¡­¡­ ¡°Um¡­. where¡¯s mum?¡±. I asked curiously. ¡°Your mother? Where else could she be? She¡¯s probably left for gambling with her friends¡± grandma replied and I heaved a huge sigh of relief. I hoped so. I Wasn¡¯t ready to run again. ¡°Did you really had to take her money, huh? I thought you promised to quit that habit?¡± She continued and I itched my ear. ¡°Actually¡­. you see, Granny. I didn¡¯t want to steal, okay? Its just that¡­when I asked her for some money this morning, she yelled at me and told me she didn¡¯t have anything on her. Then¡­I searched her bag and found the wraps in there and I got really angry. Besides, it isn¡¯t like I took the whole thing. I¡±d only taken a small portion¡± I pouted my lips and she just shook her head. ¡°You¡¯re just like her¡± she mumbled. ¡°This was the same character she¡±d possessed when she was your age¡±. Hmm. ¡°Granny¡± I called after a little pause ¡°I um¡­. I¡±d wanted to ask¡­. who¡¯s my father?¡± I noticed she twitched and paused on what she was doing. What¡¯s wrong? ¡°That isn¡¯t important for now, Alicia. Hurry up and help me with the beef¡± she quickly changed the topic and pushed me away. Huh? My eyes identally caught the sight of the TV in the room and I smiled when I saw the image. Oh my geeee!! Its him!!! They were showing my crush on amercial ad. Xavier Maddox!!! I beamed in excitement and ran closer to the TV. * * Xavier¡¯s Pov: ¡°Oh¡­. yeah¡­. ¡°Yeah¡­. ¡°Come on, Xavier. ¡°Yeah.. baby¡­.¡± Mitchell¡¯s cried sweetly as I drilled into her. Gosh! Her voice was damn so nice in bed. I never knew she could be this sweet. I held the sheets firmly as I pounded into her. And just when I was close to climax, a stupid knock came upon the door. Damn it!? ¡°Who¡¯s it??¡± I rasped as I pulled outta Mitchell¡¯s creamy hole. ¡°Xavier¡± I heard my name. It was Rio. F**k! What the hell is he doing here? I jumped out of bed and wore on my trouser before going to answer the door. ¡°Hey! What is it man? I was in the middle of something¡± I said bitterly as I faced him ¡°Yeah¡­. I know. And I¡¯m sorry, but this is kinda urgent. ¡°Actually, I¡±d gone out to get something from the car and I found someone you¡­. sure wouldn¡¯t be expecting to see here¡± he replied and I furrowed my brows in surprise. Who could it be? ¡°Who¡¯s it?¡± I asked. ¡°I can¡¯t tell. Come see for yourself¡± he replied with a shrug. Damn it! I turned to Mitchell and saw how ho*ney she still was. Who on earth could be disrupting this moment? ¡°This has better been good, man¡± I mumbled as I finally left the room, going out with him. We walked pass the party hall, out of the house and got to the garage where the car was parked. What the¡­¡­¡­ Holy freaking Joseph!! The alien???? I paused and widened my eyes in shock. Then, looked at Rio. What¡¯s she doing here??? And why¡¯s she on the floor? In tears? * *Content ? N?velDrama.Org. TBC. Chapter 15 ??? DELANEY¡¯s POV:??? I sat on the floor, crying profusely as the Rio guy left to do what I didn¡¯t know. I¡±d searched and searched for the treasure, but to no avail. And finally, I ended up on the floor, crying my eyes out. How could I be so careless? How could I misce the treasure?? What do I do now? What if it has fallen into the wrong hands? The most valuable treasure in Marazona. The key to my revenge against the Queen. How could I be so careless, huh? I continued crying on the floor and after a while, he showed up ¨C both of them. I lifted my head to look at them and another fear crowded me. They¡¯ve seen my face already and known I followed them. What have I done? If I¡±d known, I¡±d have stayed back at home. I just wanted to feed my eyes. ¡°What¡¯re you doing here??¡± Xavier asked with an rmed look and I sniffed and stood up. ¡°I¡­. I¡­¡± I paused and sniffed again. ¡°I lost my ne¡±. He scoffed and looked at his friend ¡°What ne? And that isn¡¯t the answer to my question. What¡¯re you doing here? How did you get here?¡± He asked but I couldn¡¯t reply. ¡°Did you follow me?¡± He asked again and that was when I nodded. * * ? XAVIER¡¯s POV:? What the¡­. She followed me??? Like¡­. f*¡±king followed me?? So, this was the reason mum couldn¡¯t find her at home?Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hold on; how did you follow me? Like¡­how did you do it?¡± I asked. I was just trying so hard to understand how she did it. ¡°I¡­I made use of the car¡± she replied and pointed to the car. Hmm. She probably hid in the boot or something. But why would she follow me? I sighed and ruffled my hair. Is mum being serious about keeping thisdy? And why¡¯s she crying? ¡°What do we do, man? We need to get her home¡± Rio turned to me and said and I felt my cheeks burning up.. Seriously?? Just when I was about having fun? ¡°Maybe¡­. I should take her home myself ande back afterwards. What do you think?¡± He asked, but I didn¡¯t reply as I stared at her. What did she say she¡¯s looking for again? ¡°What¡¯s so special about the ne?¡± I moved closer to her and asked and she sniffed. ¡°It¡¯s¡­. its important. I can¡¯t lose it¡±. Great! Perfect answer. I took out my phone and dialed mum¡¯s line. It connected. ¡°Xavier¡± she called, tiredly. Is she being stressed out because of this? ¡°Guess what, mum¡± I started with an eye roll. ¡°Your special alien daughter Is here with me¡±. I could hear her gasp. ¡°What?? Dney?¡± She called, surprised. ¡°Yes. She actually followed Rio and I out ¨C secretly. She was hiding in the car¡±. ¡°Whaaaat?? Oh my¡­Oh my God! Where¡¯s she? I mean¡­ Is she safe?¡± ¡®she¡¯s just crying over some weird ne. Look mum, I¡¯m in the middle of an interesting party and if there¡¯s a way you can just¡­.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it¡± Rio muttered and I sighed. ¡°Fine. Rio said he¡¯ll bring her home¡± I passed the report to her. ¡°What the heck are you doing, Xavier? Bring her home yourself. Besides, itste. You know your father¡¯s against you staying outte because of your status¡±. ¡°But mum¡­.¡± ¡°Bring her home. Now¡± And she ended the call. Whaat? What the heck?? I made a crumpled face and looked at Rio who bursted intoughter. ¡°This isn¡¯t funny,, dude¡± I said depressed and looked at thedy. Where the f*¡±k did shee from? I itched my hair and started towards the car, angrily. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re angry¡± Rio said from behind, but I didn¡¯t stop to look at any of them as I got into the car and shut the door. * * ? DELANEY¡¯s POV:? He looked angry. What could be wrong with him? Could I be the cause? ¡°Hey;e on. Let¡¯s go in¡± his friend next to me said and I nodded weakly and followed him to the car. I sat alone at the backseat and in a short while, we started moving. * * ? XAVIER¡¯s POV:? We got home and I angrily handed the special Dney over to mum. And after which, Rio left. Gosh! I couldn¡¯t believe she just ruined my night ¨Cpletely. I got into my room and took a shower, ready to sleep. And just when I was taking off my towel, someone pushed the door open and I looked in fright to see she was the oneing in. Whaaaaat?? My towel!! * Chapter 16 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? I opened the door and found him in the room, but he shrieked on seeing me. ¡°What¡¯re you¡­..??¡± He flinched and turned around, backing me. I noticed he was losing something from his waist, but he quickly held it back. ¡°Hey; what the hell do you think you¡¯re doing? What¡¯re you doing in my room? And don¡¯t you knock??¡± He snapped as he looked at me. Huh? What is knock? ¡°I¡¯m talking to you,, alien. How dare you just barge into my room like that??¡± He asked angrily. Okay¡­. I think he¡¯s just confusing me the more. Maybe I should just say what I have to say and leave. ¡°I¡­I actually came here to apologize for what happened earlier¡±, I began. It seemed you were really angry with me for making you leave your friends. I¡­I just wanted to apologize¡±. He stared at me speechlessly for a while and scoffed. ¡®seriously?¡± He said. ¡°Is that the reason you¡¯re here?¡± I nodded simply and he rolled his eyes. ¡°Well, you can leave. I¡¯ve heard you. And next time, make sure you knock on the door beforeing in¡± he said and started pushing me out of the room ¨C gently tho. But what does he mean by knock? ¡°Wait¡­. have you forgiven me?¡± I stopped to ask him But he rolled his eyes and pushed me out. Gosh! How rude! I sighed as I faced the door. And having nothing else to do, I returned to my room. * * The thought of losing the ne kept disturbing my entire thoughts that I could hardly sleep. How do I get it back? Who could be in possession of it? If only I¡±d known, I¡±d have stayed back in the house. Or kept it safe. Well¡­. perhaps,, it¡¯s a good way of keeping it far from the people of Marazona. Probably, it¡±d make it difficult for any of them to find it if they ever locate me. But still, I needed the ne. I just needed it to be in my possession How do I get it back? * * * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV I climbed down the stairs with my designer¡¯s school bag in my hand and iPad in the other. I scrolled through the inte as I did and finally got to the sitting room. Oops! Seems someone¡¯s home ¨C mum. She was fixing the dining. ¡°Baby¡± she beamed and turned to me. Yuck! ¡°Good morning¡± I said under my breath and walked further. ¡®so, you decided to be home?¡± ¡°Oh¡­yeah. I actually arrived a while ago, but didn¡¯t tell you about it cause I wanted to surprise you with breakfast¡± she said with smiles, but I rolled my eyes. ¡°Too bad, I¡¯m not eating¡± I blurted and started walking away. ¡°Che¡­. Chelsea?¡± She called back. ¡°Chelsea,e on. Are you still mad at me?¡± ¡®seriously, mum. I¡¯m just trying to get used to the fact that I live alone¡± I replied bluntly and walked out. Approaching my car, I spotted dad driving in and scoffed. I couldn¡¯t believe these are my parents. I rolled my eyes and entered into my car and my driver took off immediately. I opened my phone and continued scrolling, going through Xavier¡¯s pictures this time around. A smile shed on my lips. From now on, I¡¯ve decided not to get affected by his yboy lifestyle. From now on, I¡¯ll work on winning his heart and making him mine. ¡°I need to get something from the book store. So, you¡¯ll stop by¡± I told the driver and he nodded. I continued with my phone after a while, we got to the mall. But while he was trying to park, he identally sshed mud water on ady. Gosh! * * ALICIA¡¯s POV I ced the ne in my bag and left my room, going to the sitting room. I met mum there, sitting and filing her nails. Gosh! ¡°Good morning, mum¡± I greeted lowly and cleared my throat. She scoffed. ¡®so, you¡¯re awake? I was thinking you were gonna die in your room. Where¡¯s my money, Alicia?¡± She asked I itched my hair. I guess I was expecting that. ¡°Come on, mum. I¡¯m sorry, okay? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make it up to you¡± I said with a childish pout and she scoffed and looked away. ¡°Yeah¡­perfect. Granny came out of the kitchen immediately, holding a jar. ¡°And where are you all dressed up to?¡± She asked as she walked in ¡°Good morning, granny¡± I gave her a side hug and a peck. ¡°Morning, Alicia. Where are you off to?¡± She asked,, taking a seat close to mum. ¡°I uh¡­. I just wanna see a friend down the street. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be quick¡± I replied quickly and tried walking away, but she called me back. ¡°How about the schrship you applied for? The exams you wrote. Are the results out?¡± She asked and my eyes beamed. It was actually my dream school, XCHS ¨C Xavier ssic High School. ¡°Not yet, Granny. But I heard the results would be out by today¡± I replied happily. ¡°And¡­are you sure you¡¯ll make it?¡± She asked and I shrugged. ¡°Well¡­. I¡¯m quite intelligent, but I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll make it. Anyway, I have a strong feeling I will. ¡°I need to go now, granny. See youter. Bye mother¡± I waved at them and although mum didn¡¯t reply, I ran out of the house. I needed to leave early cause I had just one person in mind who could sell this strange ne at a reasonable amount. But he¡¯s the busy type and could only be found very early in the morning. I didn¡¯t have cab fare and had to walk the long distance. More reason I left home earlier. Finally, I got to his store which was close to a bookstore, but just when I was about going in, a car sshed mud water on me. Whaaaaaat????? Trying to get myself, I tripped over a stone and fell on the floor, together with my bag which opened and revealed the ne. What the hell????? I flinched as ady stepped out of the car, wearing a school uniform. I sprang on my feet immediately and grabbed my bag, fixing the ne in properly. ¡°Hey! Are you blind??¡± I asked angrily as she came close. ¡°What? Do I look like the driver to you?¡± She answered rudely, making me gasp What nerves?? ¡°Ohhh! You wanna prove you¡¯re a spoilt brat, huh? I guess you¡¯re as dumb as your driver. No wonder you hired him. ¡°You sshed stinky water on me and the best you could do is say trash?¡± I snapped and she scoffed. ¡°Well, why weren¡¯t you careful? Are your eyes having issues or what? Well, if you¡¯re blind, get a stick¡± she spatted and tried walking away, but I ran and stood in front of her, blocking her way. ¡°You¡¯re lucky I¡¯m in a good mood this morning. Else, I¡±d have swept the floor with your face¡± I said with my finger pointed at her. ¡°Get lost¡± she rolled her eyes and walked away, going into the bookstore. What nerves??? Who the hell is she? * * DELANEY¡¯s POV I climbed down the long road called *stairs* being led by a maid. And finally, we arrived at the dining. The woman and her son were already there, eating. ¡°Dney¡± she called with a smile as I took a seat. ¡°Good morning¡± I greeted shyly. I think Ipletely admire this woman. ¡°Good morning, dear. How was your night?¡± ¡°It was¡­it was fine¡± I replied and touched my hair. Well, factly, it was hectic. I couldn¡¯t even remember sleeping as I kept thinking about the ne. The woman¡¯s son just shot me a stare and continued eating. Hm. I think I like what he¡¯s eating. It looked good. ¡°Please, Dney; next time, make sure you don¡¯t go out alone, no matter what. It¡¯s dangerous and since you¡¯re new here¡­..¡± She was still talking when I dipped my hand into the boy¡¯s te and took out a slice of what he was eating. His eyes widened in shock immediately. ¡°What the¡­¡­. What the hell is that?¡± He snapped, making me a bit surprised.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡­I like it¡± I replied as I took a bite. ¡°Dney¡± the woman hushed. ¡°Hey! You don¡¯t just dip your hands into my meal, okay? You ask for permission¡± he stated angrily. Huh?? I¡¯m supposed to ask for permission? I thought the food was meant for everyone? ¡°There are so many things to be eaten here, Dney. You don¡¯t necessarily need to take from his¡± the woman said as she stood up and dished my own food. Hmph. The son red at me and continued eating. ¡°Xavier¡± the woman called after a while. I had already began eating. ¡°I actually want Dney to start going to school ¨C your school¡± she said and the boy dropped his food. What?? Did I just hear school? * * TBC. Chapter 17 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? Did she just mention school?? I¡¯ll be going to school?? For real? ¡°What now, mum? What new development is this? What¡± school are you talking about??¡± The son asked ridiculously, like he was really angry. ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing, Xavier. Okay?¡± The woman rolled her eyes and looked at me. ¡°Dney, where youe from, do you have a school over there where you were taught how to read and write?¡± She asked. ¡°Um¡­. actually, yes. We had a mini school were we taught the 26 alphabets, how to write on leafs with inks, and how to read as well. I have a wide knowledge¡± I replied. ¡®so.. you can read??¡± The woman asked and I nodded. ¡°Okay. Can you¡­. read this out?¡± She brought out a¡­. what is this? Eww She ced it in front of me and although, the object looked really strange, I just focused on the letters there. ¡°The¡­. Full¡­. meaning¡­. of geography¡± I read out and her eyes beamed in excitement. ¡°Oh my gosh! Xavier!! Can you see that???¡± she chuckled and closed the object but the son only scoffed. ¡®she can read, Xavier!! I told you! She¡¯s fit for school!¡± ¡°Mum, thisdy should be in kindergarten ¡± he disparaged her idea. ¡°Come on, Xavier. She¡¯s way too old for Kindergarten. I just need to speed her up, okay? Don¡¯t worry, I have my own way of doing it. Since she¡¯ll be going to your school, I¡¯ll assign special teachers to her on some asions. She¡¯s also going to have a home teacher. So¡­.¡± ¡®seriously?¡± He scoffed. ¡°You¡¯re going to break the protocols of education?¡± The son asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Xavier. I¡¯ve got it all handled, okay?¡± She rolled her eyes again. Why¡¯re they so fond of that? ¡®so, Dney; you would want to go to school, right?¡± She turned to me and asked and I gulped nervously before nodding. So, I¡¯ll be in the midst of so many different people? ¡°That¡¯s great. So, we¡¯ll be going shopping this morning. And by tomorrow, you should be in school already. Right?¡± she asked with smiles and the son scoffed. She was about saying something else when something on the table started ringing. ¡°Excuse me¡± she mumbled and left. Now, I was left with just the son. I lowered my gaze to my te and continued eating with my hands. ¡°Hey you;¡± he growled and I looked up at him. ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, just tell her you aren¡¯t interested, okay? Tell her you don¡¯t wanna go to school¡±. Huh? ¡°Wh¡­. Why?¡± I wondered. ¡®seriously?? Don¡¯t ask meme questions, okay? Tell her to take you to Kindergarten¡±. ¡°But¡­.¡± I paused when a pretty lookingdy walked in. ¡°Xavier!!¡± She shrieked and ran in The *Xavier* also turned to look at her and a smile touched his lips. ¡°Hey, bae.

What¡¯re you trying to say? What do you mean it doesn¡¯t have value?¡± I grouse as I stood in front of the man I intended selling the ne to. He was telling me sh*t like it wasn¡¯t important and all that. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Alicia. I¡¯ve never seen something like this before. It looks more like a toy. I¡¯m not sure anyone would want to buy it. But¡­to be considerate and since you actually need money, I can offer five dors¡± he replied. ¡°Whaaat?? What the heck??? Five what?? Are you kidding me or what?? What on earth am I gonna do with five dors??¡± ¡°That¡¯s the deal, Alicia. Leave it or take it¡± he said brusquely and walked away, going to fix somethings in the shop. Hmph. How rude. I lifted the ne and stared at it. Why do I have a feeling its actually important? I could recall how desperately thatdy had been searching for it that night. It looks useless.. but also looks special. Whatever.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I¡¯ll just keep it to myself and find a better buyer. I can¡¯t sell it for five dors. That¡¯s impossible. * * ?? I walked all the way home, feeling so tired and hungry. Gosh! I couldn¡¯t believe I just wasted my time for nothing. Nothing at all. I yawned as I got into the house and sat on a chair to rest my back. Where¡¯s mother and granny anyway? Please, just tell me they¡¯ve cooked something already. I yawned again and was about standing up when something from the TV gripped my attention. Yes!!!!? The schrship results!!! They were announcing the results at the moment. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the names being disyed on the screen and immediately, I screamed. ¡°Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh¡± I sprang on my feet and started jumping. ¡°I made it!!!!¡± I screamed. ¡°I made it!!!!!! ¡°I¡¯ve been admitted into Xavier ssic High School. ¡°Arghhhhhhhhhhh¡± * * TBC.

How was your night?¡± The woman asked. ¡°well¡­. boring, actually¡±. ¡°Hm. You¡¯re just in time for breakfast. Come on¡± the woman urged and she took a seat next to Xavier. I noticed she shot me a suspicious stare again. Well, she was probably who I was and why I was actually eating with the family. ¡®so, how¡¯re your parents, Chelsea? Hope everything¡¯s cool?¡± The woman asked and she rolled her eyes. ¡°They¡¯re fine ¨C in their own way¡± she said under her breath, making me surprised. They continued talking about other things and after a while, we were done eating. ¡°Get ready,, Dney. We¡¯ll be going out for shopping this morning¡± the woman said before leaving the dining. I looked at the Chelsea and noticed she was now looking more confused. ¡°What¡¯s going on, Xavier? Who¡¯s she?¡± She asked, giving me a cranky look ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chelsea. I¡¯ll exin everything to you in the car. Come on, let¡¯s go¡± the son replied as he picked up his bag and stood up. He started walking out before the Chelsea did. Funny enough,, she just remained sitting and red at me. ¡°Um¡­. Chelsea¡± I called her back when she was about leaving. She turned to look at me. ¡°I¡­.. I like you¡± I said a little shyly and she scoffed. ¡°Yeah, thanks¡±, she rolled her eyes and walked away. Hold on; is she naturally rude? * * The woman helped me bath again and gave me something else to wear. Although, she keptining it wasn¡¯t good enough, but to me,, I didn¡¯t see a problem with it. Strange leaves. ¡°Your son doesn¡¯t like me¡± I told her as we sat together in the moving car. It was kinda bothering me. ¡°Yeah¡­don¡¯t pay attention to him, okay? That¡¯s just how he is ¨C always rude and bossy¡± she replied. ¡°But you know what? You can actually make him like you¡± she suddenly said and I picked interest. ¡°I can?¡± I asked curiously and watched her smile.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Of course, dear. But first, I must warn you ¨C never, and I mean, never, allow him have s*x with you¡± she said and I arched my brows in confusion. S*x?? ¡°What is s*x?¡± I asked curiously and she stared at me in shock, like I was being ridiculous or something. ¡°You¡­. You don¡¯t know what s*x is?¡± She stuttered and I shook my head negatively. I¡¯ve never heard the word ¡°Holy Mother Of God!¡± She eximed. ¡®seriously??? You don¡¯t know what it means for couples to make love?¡± She asked, confusing me the more . ¡°Love? You mean people produce love? They¡­. they make it?¡± I asked and she chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re one hell of a girl, Dney¡±, she shook her head. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s a good thing you don¡¯t know the meaning of s*x. I mean¡­that¡¯s totally great ¨C even though it¡¯s awkward. ¡°Well¡­. a little hint ¨C don¡¯t allow him touch your legs¡± she instructed. Huh? ¡°My¡­. my legs?¡± ¡°Gosh! Dney! I mean here!¡± She eximed and touched my private area. Oops!! ¡®really?¡± I asked. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be touched by anyone, right?¡± ¡°Of course. No one at all. I mean¡­not yet¡± she rolled her eyes and tucked her hair behind her ear. ¡®so¡­¡± She continued. ¡°Make sure he doesn¡¯t touch your legs, your waist, your lips. Just be careful with him, okay? Because my son is a¡­. tiger¡± she said thest part with a sigh. ¡®so, if you follow my instructions, I¡¯ll help you in getting him to like you. ¡°First n, I¡¯ll make you look so pretty before hees home from school today. As soon as I sense he¡¯s on his way, I¡¯ll dress you up perfectly, and you¡¯ll get a ss of juice and await him. As soon as he steps into the house, you¡¯ll go to him with the ss of juice and wee him. What do you think?¡± She asked and I ced my hand on my chin in thought. ¡°Hmm. Sounds nice¡± I nodded repeatedly. ¡°Then, it¡¯s a deal¡± she smiled and increased the speed of the car. * * XAVIER¡¯s Mum : I know you might think I¡¯m crazy but, seriously? Who else is seeing this opportunity with me? Thisdy doesn¡¯t even know the meaning of s*x and that¡¯s going to make it a whole lot easier. At least, I can be sure she isn¡¯t one of thedies that can throw their bodies cheaply at my son. And now, I¡¯m going to use her to change him. Yes, she seems really humble and will work with me. With her help, I¡¯ll stop Xavier from being a s*x freak. * * TBC. Chapter 19 ?? XAVIER¡¯s POV:?? ¡®so, your mum ns on adopting her or what?¡± Chelsea asked as we sat next to each other in the car on our way to school. I¡±d just exined the whole alien story to her. ¡°Well¡­. something like that. She ims thedy needs help and she¡¯s probably the only one that can protect her¡± I replied with a shrug and she scoffed. She clearly looked upset. ¡°Where does she evene from, anyway? And is it just a coincidence she met your mum?¡± She further asked and I just shrugged, not having an answer to it. ¡°Gosh! So, you two will be living together?¡± She went on talking and hmm I smelt jealousy this time around. ¡°Do you want to chase her away?¡± I asked with a light smile and she rolled her eyes. She didn¡¯t say a word for a while, clearly seething with anger. ¡°By the way, Xavier¡± she broke the silence. ¡°Prom is just a few days ahead. Have you chosen a date, yet?¡± Oh! Prom. ¡°Um¡­¡­not really. I don¡¯t have anyone in mind for now¡± I replied and she scoffed. ¡°Are you kidding me? Prom is just a few weeks away and you haven¡¯t chosen a date?¡± I could tell she was being sarcastic. ¡°How about you? Have you gotten a date?¡± I asked and noticed she twitched. ¡°Um¡­. well, lots of guys have beening to me for sometime now. But¡­. I¡¯m yet to make a pick¡± she replied and I chuckled. ¡°Are you kidding me? Prom is just few weeks away and you also don¡¯t have a date? What¡¯re you waiting for?¡± I asked sarcastically and she pouted her lips and hit me on the chest and Iughed. * * . After a while, we arrived at school and alighted the car as soon as the driver parked. Chelsea wrapped her hand around mine, probably as a signal to tell others to back off. Well, that¡¯s what she does each time we¡¯re together in school. She loves drawing attention and that¡¯s because no other person has the guts to touch me. All eyes kept revolving around us as we walked along, and close to the ssroom, Mitchell showed up. ¡°Xavier!¡± She called in excitement, but the excitement on her face died down when she noticed Chelsea holding my hand. ¡°Hi Mitchell¡± Chelsea said with a sarcastic smile and tightened her grip around me. ¡°Oh! Yes, I¡¯m so sorry, dearie. I actually got hooked up with something and couldn¡¯t make it. So sorry about that¡±. ¡°Okay. Um¡­. I didn¡¯t know when you left, Xavier¡± she turned to me ¡°You know, we¡­.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­I had to. If you don¡¯t mind, excuse me¡± I said brusquely and walked away with Chelsea who smirked. * * Hours Later * * After a very long while, I returned home with the woman after getting a lot of things. She¡±d gotten me some strange leaves which she referred to as *clothes* And she had also taken me to a ce where they worked on my hair and made it more beautiful. Earth is such a wonderful ce, isn¡¯t it? I¡±d actually seen a lot of amazing things which I wished to touch, but the woman held my hand all through and didn¡¯t let me out of her sight. ¡°Here; put this on, Dney. Its perfect for the n¡± she said as she stretched out a *cloth*to me. I collected it and tried wrapping it around me. ¡°Dney! Come on! You should know how to wear a cloth by now¡± she eximed and collected it from me. Hmph. She helped me with it and¡­wow! It looked really beautiful. ¡°Come on¡± she took me to a sit in front of a mirror. ¡°Is there any need for make up? I think you look perfect this way, right?¡± She asked as she stared into the mirror with me from behind. Hmm Wow! I really looked¡­.. beautiful.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. My long hair was now rxed and looked more dark. My face was¡­. well, natural and pretty. What does she mean by make up, anyway? She smiled and dressed my hair, moving it backwards. ¡°You¡¯re one prettydy, Dney. Where¡¯s your mother?¡± She asked and I felt my cheeks be hot. ¡°My¡­. my mother?¡± I repeated like I hadn¡¯t heard her. ¡°Yes. Where¡¯s she?¡± ¡°Um¡­. I don¡¯t know if I have one cause I didn¡¯t grow up with her¡± I replied and she mouthed an *oh* I think she was about saying something else when we suddenly heard a sound and she ran to the window. ¡°He¡¯s here!!¡± She gasped. Who? Her son? ¡°He¡¯s home, Dney. Come on!¡± She said and dragged me up from the seat. * * I yed games with my Ipad at the backseat as I sat next to Rio in the moving car, headed home. ¡°But seriously man, don¡¯t you think you were a little bit hard on Mitchell?¡±He asked and I scoffed. ¡°Are you kidding me? What exactly did I do? All I did was ask her to excuse me¡± I answered and he nudged me. ¡°Come on!! You¡¯re too hard ondies, dude. I sure didn¡¯t teach you that¡± he raised his hands. ¡°Yeah¡­. but you can f**k and go, huh?¡± I asked him and heughed. Shortly, we arrived home and as soon as the car stopped moving, I stepped out with him. Ah! Atst His phone started ringing and he excused himself to pick it up. But I didn¡¯t wait for him and walked in. I just needed a bath and a nap. I opened the door to the sitting room, my eyes fixed on my iPad. But I was forced to look up when I noticed a strange figure ahead. Huh? I saw ady ¨C a pretty one ¨C holding a ss of juice. What the¡­¡­ Hold on; she looked familiar. No; noway. Isn¡¯t this the alien??¡± * * TBC. Chapter 20 ?? XAVIER¡¯s POV ?? I stared at her, confused and the image became clear to me. She¡¯s definitely the one. But¡­why¡¯s she looking so different?? What happened to her hair that was so scattered and dirty? What happened to the shirt she was repeatedly putting on? Why does she look like a city girl when she¡¯s not? ¡°Wee¡­. Xa¡­. Xavier¡± she stuttered my name, like she was finding it so difficult.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yeah¡­.¡± I muttered, my eyes still fixed on her. I could hardly believe it. And what¡¯s she doing with the drink? ¡°Um¡­you¡¯re back from school, right?¡± She asked and starteding towards me and I scoffed. *No. I¡¯m back from the market* I jibed in my thoughts and almost blurted it out. ¡°I¡­. actually thought of giving this to you¡± she said and stretched out the ss to me and for God knows how¡­.. the f**king ss left her hand and broke on the floor. Holy Crap!!!! ¡°Hah!!¡± She gasped. ¡°I¡¯m¡­.. I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯m so sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to¡­.¡± She dropped to a crouch immediately and tried packing up the liquid. Is thisdy for real? ¡°You¡¯re unbelievable¡± I shook my head and walked away, ignoring the glum look on her face. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV: Oh! Dney; what have I done? Seriously, I had no idea what was wrong with me. Why did the ss just slip from my hand, huh? Hmph. All these strange earthly objects. Why would they use a ss in drinking liquids? Xavier shook his head and walked away and it was obvious he was angry. Oh my! I made him angry! I ruined the first n. I felt a sharp pain in my chest as I bent towards the ss. It actually hurt to know he was angry and ignored me. Why wasn¡¯t I careful, huh? Just then, the door opened again and someone else walked in ¨C someone familiar. Oh! His friend. Rio. He stopped at the door and shot me a cranky stare. ¡°Are you¡­.. Dney?¡± He asked with a scoff and I just nodded. ¡°Woahhh! Are you kidding me?? You¡¯re the alien?¡± He chuckled and came closer. ¡°Why¡¯re you looking so different?¡± I didn¡¯t say a word but concentrated on picking the ss, but he squatted in front of me and held my hand. ¡°Hey, hey; stop that, okay? You might hurt yourself. Don¡¯t worry, the maids will take care of it¡± he cooed and helped me from the floor. ¡°T¡­.. Thank you¡± I said for no reason and he smiled. ¡®so¡­. you¡¯re going out? You look so different and dressed up¡± he said. ¡°No.. it¡¯s¡­it¡¯s actually a n¡±. ¡°Huh?¡± Hold on; I shouldn¡¯t tell him about it, right? It should only be between the woman and I. ¡°What n?¡± He asked and I itched my head. ¡°Uh¡­.. its nothing¡± I stuttered and quickly turned around to leave. ¡°Hey¡±, he called back my attention and I looked at him. ¡°Could you¡­. keep up with this look? Because¡­you look really pretty and matured now¡± he said and for no reason, I felt my cheeks be hot. ¡°T¡­. Thank you¡± I replied and scuttled away. * I returned to the woman¡¯s room and found her in front of the mirror. ¡°Geez! Dney, you Scared the life outta me. Why didn¡¯t you knock??¡± She asked in a frightened manner. Knock? Knock on what? ¡°I¡¯m¡­I¡¯m sorry¡± I just said to wave it aside cause I didn¡¯t know what she was talking about. ¡®so¡­.. how was it? Did it work out?¡± She asked with beaming eyes and I shook my head pathetically. ¡°I¡¯m¡­. I¡¯m sorry, ma¡±am. I broke the ss¡± I said sadly and she gasped. ¡°Jesus, you spilled the drink??¡± She asked and I nodded affirmatively. ¡°Holy Mary¡± she mumbled and took a nearby seat. Gosh! I felt so so bad. ¡°Why weren¡¯t you careful, Dney?¡± She asked, but I couldn¡¯t give a reply and she rubbed her hand on her forehead. ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡± she suddenly smiled. ¡°I have another n¡±. * * XAVIER¡¯s POV I was taking off my jacket when the door opened and Rio walked in. ¡°I was thinking you got stuck in traffic¡± I teased and heughed. ¡®seriously, dude. Did you see the alien ¨C Dney? Did you see her?¡± He asked as he sat on the bed and I rolled my eyes. ¡°Yep. What about her?¡± I asked sarcastically. ¡®seriously??? Didn¡¯t you see how crazily hurt she looked?? Mehn¡­. she was damn beautiful and gorgeous!!¡± ¡°Hm. Beautiful and clumsy. She almost spilled her drink on me, dude¡± I scoffed. ¡°Whatever! She was damn se¡±xy man. I think I¡¯m kinda having interest in her¡±. With a strange force, I turned to look at him. ¡°What¡¯re you saying??¡± I found myself asking almost in a shirk. ¡°Finding interest in her? For what reason?? Because she looked beautiful today?¡± ¡°Hey¡­.. chill man. Why do you wanna eat me up? I don¡¯t understand. Are you¡­.¡± ¡°Whatever¡± I cut him off and walked into the bathroom for a shower. * * MARAZONA * * HERA¡¯s POV: I panicked a bit as I stood with mother and the guards in front of the border. ¡°Hera, are you sure about this? Don¡¯t you think we should wait for the priestess to assign the guards?¡± Mother asked with that worried look on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mother. I¡¯ll be fine. This is my mistake and I need to fix it. Besides, there¡¯s a high possibility of me not losing my powers when I get to earth. So, I need to do this¡± I answered her, hoping it¡±d work. ¡°But are you sure of it? Are you sure you¡¯ll be safe? How¡­. How will you cope? Who will you stay with?¡± She panicked ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. I¡¯ll surely find a way¡±. The light from the border had increased. ¡°It¡¯s time, mother. I need to go now. I¡¯ll find Dney and the treasure ande home with it¡± I assured her. ¡°Okay dear. Hurry. We don¡¯t have much time¡±. We hugged each other onest time and after pecking my hair, I finally ran into the portal of light from the border, which would take me to earth. * * TBC. Chapter 21 ??CHELSEA¡¯s POV: I returned home from school and met dad in the sitting room, going through a magazine. Hmph ¡°Good evening, dad¡± I greeted casually and tried walking away, but he called back my attention. ¡°How was school today, Chelsea?¡± He asked, flipping through the pages of the magazine. ¡°Yeah¡­it was fine¡± I rolled my eyes. ¡°I guess¡­. mum isn¡¯t home, right?¡± ¡°No. She¡¯s still at the office¡±. ¡°Perfect¡± I grumbled and tried walking away again. ¡°Are you angry with id, Chelsea?¡± He called back my attention again. What the heck?? ¡®seriously dad; what do you expect?¡± I snapped and for the first time since I arrived, he lifted his face from the magazine to look at me. ¡°You need to understand this ¨C Chelsea. Whatever your mum and I are doing is actually for your benefit¡­¡± ¡°Oh! Please¡­what¡¯s the need of having a wealthy lifestyle when I feel so alone?¡± I snapped. ¡°I get it ¨C I live like a princess, I have all I want, but not all I need.

But don¡¯t worry, soon enough, we¡¯ll have all the time in the world to ourselves¡± he said and I scoffed. ¡°Old story¡± I rolled my eyed and walked away. Damn it! I just needed to leave this ce. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV : I stared keenly at the woman as she smiled mischievously. ¡®so, this is going to be the n and please Dney, don¡¯t fail me okay?¡± She breathed out and made me seat on a chair beside the mirror; she also sat down. ¡°Okay ma¡±am, I¡¯m going to try my best.¡± I smiled nervously. ¡®so¡­¡± She drew closer to me and whispered some words inside my ear while I nodded my head understandably. ¡®so, can you do it?¡± She asked with a sided smile. ¡°Uh¡­ Yes¡­ Ma¡±am, I can.¡± I stuttered and nodded my head positively. ¡°Alright, just wait a little for some minutes before you¡¯ll carry out the n.¡± She smiled. ¡°Alright ma¡±am.¡± * * XAVIER¡¯s POV After I had gotten dressed up in a pair of white trousers and white shirt, I sat on top of my bed. Rio already left seconds ago because he had an urgent call and he had to scream my name and tell me he was going. I took my phone and unlocked it. Immediately, a message popped on my screen from Chelsea. Urgh! I mentally groaned. We just saw each other not less than an hour ago and now she already messaged? ¡°Hey Xavier.¡± I grumbled lightly before typing a quick reply. ¡°Hey Chels.¡± ¡°I just wanted to check up on you.¡± ¡°Yeah, thanks.¡± I typed back and dropped my phone. I suddenly felt tasty and I decided to get water from the kitchen. I stood up and went towards the door. I opened the door and got out. I climbed down the stairs and I roamed my eyes around the sitting room but it was empty. There was no sign of Dney. I don¡¯t even know why exactly why I even care if she¡¯s in the sitting room or what. Perhaps, it¡¯s because she broke a ss cup and I wanted to know if she was still there picking the broken bottles. * I ignored what ever my subconsciousness was saying and made my way to the kitchen. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV I got to the kitchen and her son; Xavier, wasn¡¯t there. I waited patiently until I heard footsteps. I walked to the door and peeped fortunately for me, it was Xaviering. I quickly took the cup I kept and let it fall from my hand. I bent to pick it and I pricked my tiny finger. And immediately, the door opened and Xavier walked in. He creased his eyebrows and stared at me like I¡¯m some piece of dirt. Please let this n work! I prayed fervently in my heart as I stared my already bleeding finger. ¡°Ouch!¡± I winced lightly as my blood dropped on the floor. He looked at me and rolled his eyes. ¡°Always clumsy.¡± He muttered and walked past me. I took a quick nce at him and he was drinking water. Gosh! He looked so cute as he drank elegantly from the cup. When he was done, he licked his lips and dropped the cup. I took my gaze back to my bleeding finger and thank goodness the pain wasn¡¯t too much. It was just a slight pain but the blooding out it¡¯s as if I¡¯ve gotten a big injury. He grumbled angrily and rolled his eyes annoyingly. He shook his head pitifully and made for the door. Oh God let this n work! I winced again and tried touching my injured finger when I felt a hand grab my wrist. ¡°You¡¯re so clumsy, aren¡¯t you?¡± He groaned angrily. He crouched in front of me and ced my hand on his. ¡°I don¡¯t know why mom¡¯s still keeping you in this house!¡± He grumbled rudely. This guy sure deserve an award for the being rude and arrogant. He doesn¡¯t even smile. ¡°Just stand up.¡± He groaned authoritatively and help me stand up. ¡°And Dney or whatever you call yourself, stop trying to pick broken pieces of anything you break, it¡¯s harmful. Just call one of the maids and it¡±d be taken care of.¡± He snorted. ¡°I don¡¯t even know which of the you fell from that you¡¯re behaving like¡­ Argh! I don¡¯t even know.¡± He frowned. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ If I make you feel ufortable with my presence in this house.¡± I muttered lowly. I feel so intimidated and nervous with his looks and harsh words. ¡°You should be!¡± He snappy and purposely pressed my finger that got injured lightly while I winced loudly. ¡°I¡¯ll have a maid clean up this mess. Meanwhile, let¡¯s go to my room so I can treat your finger.¡± I didn¡¯t say anything but followed him like an obedient puppy. We got to his room and he walked in while I trailed behind him. He made me seat on the bed and he brought out a weird box from side of his bed. ¡°This is a first aid kit in case you don¡¯t know.¡± He said and rolled his eyes.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Hmm, what¡¯s a first aid kit? He opened the kit and brought out some strange objects from it. He told me their names begrudgingly and it was just few of the object names that assimted. The other names were too long for me to even pronounce. He sat beside me on the bed and put a cotton wool; like what he had called it earlier on a bottle that I didn¡¯t know the name. Then, he ced it on my finger. I winced as the cold cotton wool touched my finger, it was painful. After doing other strange things on my finger, he brought out what he called a ster. He took my hand and after a little hesitation, he started blowing air on it. Jeez! It felt so good. I watched him keenly and admiringly as he continued to blow air into it. Suddenly, it hurt and I found myself screaming. ¡°Arghh!¡± I screamed and jumped on him, holding him tight. ¡°Dney!¡± He hushed, but I didn¡¯t let him go as I wrapped my hand around him. Well, that was part of the woman¡¯s n. And immediately, the door opened, revealing Chelsea. * * TBC. Chapter 22 ?? CHELSEA¡¯s POV ?? My jaw dropped in shock as I stared at the position in which Xavier and the strange girl were. Xavier quickly pushed her off his body and stood up from the bed. I came all the way from house to see Xavier and let¡¯s enjoy each other¡¯spany and now all I get is this? It¡¯s so heartbreaking. ¡°Oh Chels, you are here.¡± He muttered and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. I gave the strange girl a death re and stomped out of the room. ¡°Chelsea!¡± I heard Xavier call out to me but I didn¡¯t even stop walking or even spare him a side nce. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV: I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Xavier turned and gave me a long and angry stare before finally running after Chelsea. Oh my! Did I do something wrong? Why did thatdy have toe in at the wrong time, huh? As I got out of his room and closed the door, the woman suddenly walked up to me with a smile. She looked around carefully and held me by the wrist. She dragged me along with her. We got to her room and we both went inside. She made me seat on the bed and we sat facing each other. ¡®so, how did it go?¡± She grinned and held my hand. How about a little prank? Yeah, that¡¯ll do. She looked so hopeful and I could tell she really needed a positive reply. ¡°C¡¯mon Dney, how was it?¡± She urged me and stared intently at me. ¡°Well¡­ Erm ma¡±am. I¡¯m sorry. It didn¡¯t work out well.¡± I said forlornly and bent my head. ¡°Huh?¡± She asked and I could sense a hint of disappointment in her voice.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. I took my gaze to look at her and her smile had faded. Her face dropped in disappointment. ¡°It worked!¡± I suddenly yelled happily. The woman stared at me surprisingly. ¡°I was just trying to pull your legs. It worked!¡± I giggled and I was expecting a hug or something, instead I got a smack on the head. ¡°Ouch!¡± I winced though it wasn¡¯t painful. ¡°Jeez Dney, you almost gave me an heart attack. I was really sure that it was gonna work out well.¡± She said and smiled broadly. She pulled my cheeks yfully and hugged me. ¡®so, tell me the full details.¡± She said eagerly. ¡°Well, I acted ording to n. He was grumpy and all at first but eventually, he helped me. He took me to his room and brought out what he called a first aid kit and started doing some strange things to my finger. He decided to blow air in my finger before he¡¯ll finally put what he called a ster around my finger. And when it hurt a little, I screamed and jumped on him. And boom! Chelsea opened the door and saw us in that position and she looked clearly pissed.¡± I exined and breathed out. ¡°Chelsea?¡± She asked and I nodded. ¡°Hm¡± she mumbled and ced her hand on her chin like she was thinking or something. ¡°Ma¡±am¡­. Is there a problem?¡± I asked and she shook her head. ¡°Of Course, not. Come on¡± she replied and stood up with me. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV: ¡°Chelsea?¡± Xavier called calmly and held my arm. ¡°What!¡± I snapped at him and yanked his hand away from mine. ¡°Why are you suddenly pissed Chels? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, did I?¡± He scoffed and rolled his eyes. ¡®really? You were in close proximity with that strange girl you know nothing about! You¡¯re already flirty with someone you barely even know?¡± I huffed and ran my hand through my hair. ¡°And thest time I checked, it was none of your business!¡± He snapped, shocking the hell out of me. ¡°Xavier?¡± I called, more like a whisper as I stared at him. ¡°Look Chels, you¡¯re taking this too far. You shouldn¡¯t be thinking about something irrelevant because of how close you saw us. I don¡¯t even owe you an exnation.¡± He said and walked back into the house. Argh! That girl! She¡¯s gonna be a threat to me! From the very first day I saw her, I never liked her and I knew she¡¯s of no good. I¡¯m gonna give her a piece of my mind! She better stop whatever it us that she¡¯s nning to take Xavier away from me. He¡¯s mine and mine alone! If I have to make her leave this house, then I will. As long as she¡¯s far away from Xavier. * * ¡°Hey you! I want to have a word with you.¡± I snapped at the girl as she made to go to the kitchen. She bent her head lowly and walked sluggishly towards me; more like she¡¯s counting her every steps. She got to where I stood beside the couch and I closed the remaining space in between us. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± I asked and ran my eyes irritably at her. Wait! Why didn¡¯t I notice this soon enough? She¡¯s looking different in a better way. And I swear, I felt jealous. She¡¯s so pretty with her long hair. She¡¯s really a threat to me in winning Xavier but I won¡¯t allow it. ¡°Dney.¡± She smiled sweetly. ¡°Now Dney or whatever your name is, listen and listen very good. I don¡¯t know where you came from and what your ns are all about, but I want to warn you to leave Xavier alone. Don¡¯t try to even get closer to him. If I have to make you leave this house, then I will! My eyes are on you!¡± * * HERA¡¯s POV: I felt myself lying on something cold and dirty. I coughed and opened my eyes and discovered I was on drynd ¨C covered with sand. Was I there already? Could this be earth? I coughed and stood up, then looked around. I was stark na*ked! Where were my leaves?? And where exactly was I? And Dney¡­. How do I find her?? It was getting so dark. I looked around and spotted a group of strange peopleing towards me. Huh? Why¡¯re they looking so different? I mean¡­. their hair was short, and¡­they didn¡¯t seem to have bo*bs as well. They just looked straight and different. ¡°Woahhh! Who the f**k do we have here??¡± One of them eximed and chuckled with the rest. Maybe I should ask them about Dney? Could it be possible they¡¯ve seen her? ¡°Youngdy, are you lost or something?¡± Another asked and I looked around. ¡°Um¡­.. I¡¯m looking for someone ¨C Dney. Have you seen her?¡± I asked and they looked at each other andughed. ¡°Who¡¯s Dney?¡± Another asked. ¡®she¡­. She was my friend. But she stole from us and ran away. So, I¡¯m looking for her¡± I answered and they stared at me like I was insane or something.

HERA¡¯s POV: ?? I followed the strange looking persons and they were starting to act creepy. They were about four of them and I really wondered why they looked different. In Marazona, there wasn¡¯t such kind of people there. They looked really different from the way I look and the way the people of Marazona looked. As we continued to walk on . The stange looking persons would asionally nce and at my body. The stare was something that held so much and I haven¡¯t seen any body in Marazona stare at someone that way. The look felt creepy and I didn¡¯t like it. ¡°Where exactly are we going?¡± I asked and stopped walking with them. They turned sharply and stared at me with those eyes and it was starting to piss me off already. ¡°Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have some kind of dirt or something on my face?¡± I asked, feeling twitchy already. They nced at each other andughed like I¡¯ve just asked the most funniest and crazy in the century. Gosh! ¡°Where exactly are you taking me to? Are you sure you really know Dney?¡± I asked and wrapped my hands around my body which was cold already. I was shivering a little because of the breeze and weather. Everywhere was already dark and where we stood, there wasn¡¯t even a single soul passing by. ¡°Of course we know her.¡± One of them smiled and I could tell it wasn¡¯t a genuine smile. ¡®really? If you know her then how exactly does she look?¡± I asked the question that I failed to ask before following them like a lost and obedient puppy. ¡°Erm. She has a blonde hair.¡± Another spoke with a nervousugh. ¡°Yes, yes. She has a blonde hair.¡± The rest of the strange looking persons agreed. ¡®really?¡± I scoffed and snorted angrily. ¡°You are all bunch of liars! Dney doesn¡¯t have a blonde hair!¡± I hissed angrily. ¡®really? Erm, you see¡­¡± The shorter of the strange peopleughed nervously. ¡°You wanna trick me! I¡¯ll just look for her on my own!¡± I hissed angrily. I tried to walk away but I felt a hand forcefully grab my wrist. ¡°Not so fast pretty!¡± One of them smirked and squeeze my boobs. What? Did this strange looking whatever just touch my boobs? Argh! I pped his hand away and gave him a deafening p. The others looked really shocked and dumbfounded as they stared at me like I¡¯ve suddenly grown two horns on my head. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare try that again!¡± I snapped at him. As I made to make a move again, they suddenly circled around me. They had this mischievous and devilish look on their faces. I tried walking away but a hand pulled me back. And then, I heard a very strict andmanding voice. ¡°Let her go!¡± I tilted my head and strained my eyes in the dark and I finally caught a glimpse of a woman just like me. But why exactly are they wearing strange leaves? This wasn¡¯t what we used to where at Marazona. The boys grumbled noisily and snapped their fingers at me. ¡°You¡¯re lucky she came in time to save you and we respect her a lot. Else¡­¡± The taller of them groaned angrily. The four of them greeted the woman whom I haven¡¯t really gotten a close view of, and walked away. ¡°Hey there.¡± She called and walked up to me. ¡°Erm, hi.¡± I replied and furrowed my eyebrows at her. ¡°What are you doing naked outside by this time of the night?¡± She asked calmly and ran her eyes all over my body. ¡°I don¡¯t really know. My leaves suddenly left my body and I just found myself naked not really knowing why. But I¡¯m here to find someone; Dney.¡± I exined calmly. She looked at me strangely and scrutinized me with her eyes. ¡®really? Don¡¯t you have a home?¡± She asked. ¡°I have but not here.¡± I replied. ¡°What do you mean by that? Never mind. Do you have a ce to stay for the night?¡± She asked. ¡°Nope.¡± I shook my head negatively. ¡°Follow me so you could stay at my house. And then, we can also talk better about yourself.¡± She offered nicely. I hesitated for a while but I really felt the need to trust her. And thinking about it too, I don¡¯t really even know where to sleep. I don¡¯t even know my way around. And who knows, she might even know Dney.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. I nodded and head positively and agreed to follow her. She pulled something strange away from her neck and wrapped it around my body. It didn¡¯t entirely cover my nakedness but it did help a little. ¡°What¡¯s this? Is this some kind of leaves or what?¡± I asked. ¡°Huh? Leaves? This is a scarf.¡± She said and stared at me strangely. ¡°You¡¯re really acting weird and strange. But let¡¯s go so we can talk better.¡± She said held my hand in hers and we both started walking away. * * XAVIER¡¯s POV: I really don¡¯t even understand Chelsea again. What¡¯s up with her? Is she trying to y the role of my girlfriend or mom in my life? Humph! It isn¡¯t gonna happen. These days, she¡¯s acting too clingy and it¡¯s getting tiring already. She¡¯s already lucky enough to get to talk to me and even touch me when other girls are dying to even get touch me, but she¡¯s going too far when she¡¯s trying to pry into my personal life. We aren¡¯t even an item and she¡¯s acting clingy and all, seriously. I really don¡¯t want to hurt her feelings too because we¡¯ve be really very closed. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV: I smiled lightly as I fixed what the woman called a *uniform*. I wore my shoes and stood in front of the room. I looked really different: in a good way. The uniform fitted me so perfectly and it wasn¡¯t too tight or too short. It was just decent enough for a student. The woman already helped me with my hair. My hair was braided in a style the woman called *french hair braids* and an *hair pin* was ced at the middle of the hair. Oh my! I really looked beautiful even without anybody telling me. I looked like a wealthy princess. I don¡¯t know why the woman had to put enough efforts on getting me ready for school. It¡¯s a school and not somewhere else right? But still, I love the new look. * * We ate breakfast and Xavier avoided eye contact with me throughout and I felt kinda bad. I really wanted him to spare even if it¡¯s just a quick and side nce; but he didn¡¯t. ¡°Xavier dear.¡± The woman called her son as we made to leave for school. He stopped walking and groaned lowly. ¡°I want you to take care of Dney in school okay? It¡¯s her first time there and I want you to keep an eye on her and help her out okay?¡± His mother said with a sweet smile. ¡®so mom, are you trying to say I should babysit her?¡± He huffed and rolled his eyes. ¡°If that¡¯s the word you call it then it¡¯s fine. But I just want to take care of her.¡± She smiled. ¡°Whatever mom.¡± He grumbled. ¡°Okay bye Dney, bye Xavier.¡± She smiled and waved lightly at us while I waved back. I bent my head nervously as I trailed behind Xavier to the car. * * We got to where I presume it¡¯s the school and my mouth flew opened. I was really so bedazzled and awestruck as I looked around. We alighted from the car and Xavier didn¡¯t even bother to wait for me before walking into the schoolpound. I hurriedly walked behind him and continued to stare admiringly at the tall buildings. This school is so far different from the one we used to have in Marazona. Everything here looked really beautiful and some things were strange to me. Chelsea walked up to meet Xavier just half way and they talked briefly. She looked surprised and shocked to see me but she quickly changed her countenance. She gave me a hard re and rolled her eyes at me. Chelsea held his hand and walked pridefully with him. I noticed the students staring admiringly at the both of them while some of them gave me strange looks. Chelsea asionally turned to look angrily at me as we walked to only God knows where. * * After I was told my ss, fortunately for me but perhaps unfortunately for Xavier and Chelsea, we were in the same ss. I was really happy because at least, I won¡¯t feel too lonely. We finally got to the ssroom and all eyes suddenly darted towards us. I lowered my head because I felt shy and nervous. I was in front of new and many persons! Xavier reluctantly showed me my seat and I muttered a low thank you. When I got to my desk, there was a strange looking object which is rectangr in shape and the colour was pink. I looked at the thing confusingly and I seriously had no idea what it was. I tried opening it but I couldn¡¯t. I was just too shy to ask a student for help. I tried all possible way I could and I still couldn¡¯t open it. I turned the side, the down, up, left and right, but I still couldn¡¯t open it and students were already starting to gawk at me. I dropped the thing back on the desk and sighed softly. Shortly, a teacher walked in and after making me introduce myself, she opened the strange object I also had. It opened and it looked kind of two. I was really confused because I didn¡¯t see how she had opened it. The students started opening theirs and I tried copying them but I still couldn¡¯t. Tired and frustrated, I hit the object hard on the floor, expecting it to open. But suddenly, a loud gasped broke out from the students and teachers mouth. Huh? * * TBC Chapter 24 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? ¡°What?¡± The teacher gasped loudly in shock as she stared wide eyed at the object on the floor. The whole ss attention were now on me and they were gawking at me. Wait! Did I do anything wrong? ¡°Dney?¡± The teacher called and took her gaze from the object to stare at me. ¡°Why did you do that? Why did you smash theptop?¡± She asked still shocked. She walked closer to meet me on my seat and picked up the object. ¡°What did you call it? Lap¡­ What? Orp tight?¡± I asked as I tried to pronounce what she had called the object. The whole ss suddenly bursted into amusingughter. What? Did I say anything funny? The teacher chuckled and looked at me awkwardly. ¡°Aptop, I said. Now, why did you smash theptop?¡± She asked, this time, sternly. ¡°Well ma¡±am, I thought it would open that way. I tried opening it the way I saw others doing but I couldn¡¯t and I thought that by smashing it, it will open.¡± I said and fondled nervously with the tip of my hair. ¡®really? Where exactly are you from? You don¡¯t know how to open aptop?¡± She asked. ¡°No ma¡±am. I¡¯ve never seen an object like this before.¡± I said innocently. ¡°What? Jeez! What on Earth are you?¡± She gasped shockingly. ¡°I¡­¡± My statement was cut short when Xavier suddenly spoke up. ¡°Ma¡±am Teresa, I bet you don¡¯t want to use the whole day talking to her? The time is ticking, tick-tock.¡± He said and did the his tongue in a way I couldn¡¯t really understand. The teacher sighed and looked me. She shook her head sadly and walked back to where she stood in front of the ss. I turned to look at Xavier and he gave me a hard re. I gulped down nothing and looked away. The teacher taught and seriously, my mind wasn¡¯t there. The students were using theptop or whatever, while I just stared at them like they¡¯re performing some sort of magic. * * HERA¡¯s POV I yawned lightly and stretched out my tired body. The sunlight illuminated the room and shed through my face. I groaned and turned to the other side of the bed. After what seems like forever, I finally squinted my eyes opened. I opened my eyes fully and rubbed them sleepily. I yawned lightly and sat on top of the strange mattress. But it was sofy and I really enjoyed my night. * * The previous day, the woman took me to her house which I found rather too strange to be called a house. It wasn¡¯t very big but it still was big. The structure and everything looked totally different from the one back there at Marazona. In fact, everything here looks so strange and different from that of Marazona¡¯s. The woman whom I haven¡¯t quite gotten familiar with, made me take my bath under something like a rain, but she called it *shower*. Jeez! I haven¡¯t seen something like that before. She taught me how to use it since I couldn¡¯t; I don¡¯t even know how to use it. She also gave me strange leaves she called *clothes* for me to wear. I had wrapped them around my body like I used to do to leaves but she had gawked at me and looked weirdly at me. She had taken the clothes and wore it for me in a strange way too. She had called me strange but I don¡¯t know between I and her who¡¯s more strange. Nothing looks familiar to me. * * I walked out of the room and followed the same ce we had followed yesternight. Finally, I got to the sitting room and a sweet smell waft through my nose. I sniffed in the air and suddenly, my stomach grumbled noisily. I held my stomach to shut it up from growling noisily. I haven¡¯t eaten since the previous day and I¡¯m hungry. I look around the sitting room and I was really bedazzled by the beautiful decorations and strange looking things. I saw a wide and dark mirror which was on top of something. But the mirror still looked strange. I moved closer to it and stared at myself but it wasn¡¯t clear. I couldn¡¯t see myself properly. Back at Marazona, the mirror in my room is ced to stand upright and it¡¯s long and in ss white. But this one here is something different. ¡°Hey.¡± I heard. I turned swiftly and saw the womaning towards me. In broad daylight, I could see her clearly now. She¡¯s a middle aged woman and she¡¯s tall and pretty. She had her hair rolled up in a messy bun and she had beads of sweat on her forehead. She had a smile on her face. ¡°Good morning.¡± I greeted calmly. ¡°Morning dear. What are you doing standing there?¡± She asked. ¡°Uhm, nothing. I was just staring at myself on the mirror.¡± I shrugged. ¡°Huh? Mirror?¡± She asked and furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°Yes, mirror.¡± I nodded my head and pointed at the ck mirror. She chuckled in amusement and stared at me. ¡°That¡¯s a tv.¡± She giggled lightly. ¡°A ¡­ Tv¡­ What?¡± I stuttered, not wanting to bite my tongue because of how difficult the name sounded. ¡°A tv.¡± She said slowly. ¡°What¡¯s that? What¡¯s a tv?¡± I asked as I stared at her. ¡°You know what? We have a lot of things to discuss. I don¡¯t even know your name yet. But first, breakfast is ready. Let¡¯s eat and after that, we¡¯ll talk better.¡± The woman said and held my hands. Without any further hesitation, I followed her. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV After the teacher had left, the students started stealing nces at me and whisperings amongst themselves and I need not anyone to tell me that they are whisperings about me. ¡°Jeez, I can¡¯t believe her! She acted like a girl from the forest or maybe jungle.¡± I heard one of the studentsughed. ¡®seriously Jane, I was really so surprised when she smashed theptop. She¡¯s pretty but weird.¡± Another girl said. I shook my head and ignored them. They can gossip for all I care. * * ALICIA¡¯s POV: I had gotten ready for school and feeling so enthusiastic. I had woken up very early because I was restless and anxious. I couldn¡¯t even sleep well because I kept on tossing and turning on the bed. I was just so damn anxious and eager to go to school. When I had gotten, everywhere looked really beautiful and magnificent. It looked better in real than on tv and magazines. I had squealed happily and stared around bedazzling. The principal told me he was gonna tell the students about me and the other students that won the schrship the following day. * * When I got to the ssroom, my attention was just centered on Xavier. Oh my! He looked absolutely breathtaking in his uniform. Oh God! I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m in the same grade as Xavier and I¡¯ll get to see him everyday. Who knows, I might have the opportunity to even touch him. A teacher entered the ssroom and I was surprised when a very beautiful and ssy girl smashed aptop saying she couldn¡¯t open it. I was really so surprised. But how? She looked really ssy like someone from a very wealthy home. But I didn¡¯t get to see her face properly because I was seating behind her at the back. But from her side view, I could tell she was really pretty. * * It was lunch break already, I walked out of the ssroom alongside some of the students. With the school map in my phone, I got to find my way to the cafeteria. As I sat down on my booth eating, the cafeteria suddenly became noisy and happy squeals broke out from most especially the girls lips. I tilted my head and saw Xavier walking in with two girls. He looked like a demi god as he took slow and elegant strides inside the cafeteria.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. He had a sweet in his mouth and his hands were tucked inside his trouser pockets. He looked really mesmerizing. But then, I had a proper look at the girls and one of them gripped my attention. I stared intently at the girl and¡­ What? Her? Howe? * * TBC Chapter 25 ALICIA¡¯s POV Wait, isn¡¯t this the girl that I took her strange ne? What? She also attends this school? And that aside, why¡¯s she with Xavier? Why did theye in together? Do they know each other? Urgh! Different unanswered questions! Tch, tch, she better don¡¯t have eyes for my Xavier because he¡¯s mine. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV As we stepped into the cafeteria, the cafeteria suddenly became noisy as students screamed happily. I turned and noticed Xavier had a in look while Chelsea was clingy to him like a ma would do to a maic object. She had smiles on her face as she ced her arms around Xavier. The girls were throwing nces at him and it wasn¡¯t just any nce but I really couldn¡¯t tell the kind of look. But there seemed to be something special in that look they gave him. But soon enough, the news died down and the students continued eating. I shrugged and followed them as they walked towards a strange looking thing that the students sat to eat. Okay, what¡¯s this? Why¡¯s everything here looking strange to me? I don¡¯t want to go about causing another humiliation for myself because of my ignorance. And so, I just decided to ask. ¡°Uhm, Xavier? What¡¯s this that the students are sitting on?¡± I asked lowly and tapped him lightly on his shoulder. He turned and red at me. ¡°Dumb head.¡± He muttered and rolled his eyes. ¡°That¡¯s a booth.¡± He grumbled lightly. ¡°Oh!¡± I nodded my head. ¡°Wait! Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s sitting with us?¡± Chelsea suddenly grunted with a disdainful look. ¡°I guess so.¡± Xavier shrugged nonchntly. ¡°Xavier?¡± She whined. ¡®she can¡¯t seat with us! I don¡¯t want her to seat with us!¡± She grumbled angrily. Xavier didn¡¯t say anything but went ahead to seat down. As I was about to seat down too, she held me firmly by my arm. ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t belong here, you know? You¡¯re too dirty to seat with us. You¡¯re ssless and you don¡¯t belong here. You are not supposed to dine with us.¡± She snorted disgustfully like I¡¯m a piece of trash or dirt. ¡°I don¡¯t get you Chelsea.¡± I said lowly and twitched my lips. Xavier just sat down and watch us. ¡®seriously? Are you that dumb? I don¡¯t want you to seat us.¡± She hissed angrily. ¡°But Xavier¡¯s mom said he should take care of me at school because it¡¯s my first time. If I don¡¯t eat here where then will I eat?¡± I asked and stared at her crumpled face. She doesn¡¯t know that she looks like the devil¡¯s daughter when she¡¯s angry and having that crumpled look. ¡°Does he even look like he cares? He¡¯s obviously unconcerned.¡± She said and smirked. Before I could say anything, she pushed me hard and before I could even hold anything, Inded hard on the floor with my butt. Some students turned to our directions and I felt so hurt. Some studentsughed mockingly while my head was bent in shame. Chelsea crouched in front of me and lifted my chin up. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you near my Xavier again. Don¡¯t think because you live with him in his house you should feel like a queen. You definitely don¡¯t stand any chance with him.¡± She whispered with a taunting grin. She stood up and patted my hair, ¡°good girl.¡± She said with a hint of mockery in her voice. As I tried to stand up, I felt a strong hand around my waist. I turned and saw Xavier¡¯s friend, the one that had told me that I look pretty. He helped me up from the floor. Xavier and him threw angry re at each other before he held my hands and walked away. We got to another booth and he gestured for me to seat. Without any hesitation or reluctancy, I sumbed and sat on the booth. * * RIO¡¯s POV: As I sat on my booth and ate, I suddenly started hearing whisperings from the booth beside mine. I listened raptly and I got to find out that they were talking about the new student and Chelsea. Now, only for me to take a look and saw Chelsea bullying Dney when Xavier is there. I wasn¡¯t happy seeing Dney being talked rudely and being bullied by Chelsea. She has no right whatsover! Though I use girls, I don¡¯t fancy bullying. In fact, I don¡¯t like it one bit. Xavier couldn¡¯t even do anything but just seat and watched Chelsea hurt Dney. Xavier¡¯s is still blind not to see the mesmirizing beauty of Dney. He¡¯s still blind not to notice how beautiful she is. He shouldn¡¯t worry, until I make her mine before he¡¯ll realise how pretty she is. I feel I¡¯m attracted towards her and I wouldn¡¯t mind having her myself. I¡¯m going to make sure I have her and Xavier isn¡¯t gonna stand a chance. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV: ¡°I¡¯m Rio, in case you don¡¯t know.¡± Xavier¡¯s friend who helped me, said with a small smile. ¡°Oh! Okay.¡± I mouthed lowly. ¡®so, you are Dney right?¡± He asked. ¡°Yeah.¡± I smiled lightly. ¡°Hope you like the meal?¡± He asked sweetly. I stared at the food in front of me and stared back at him. ¡°Yes.¡± I nodded my head with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful Rio.¡± I said sincerely. ¡°You¡¯re wee. And don¡¯t worry about Xavier, he¡¯s always like that; he¡¯s the I- don¡¯t- care type but he¡¯ll definitelye around. And Chelsea, she behaves bitchy sometimes especially when ites to Xavier. So, don¡¯t take her actions toward you to heart.¡± He told me with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I don¡¯t really care too.¡± I shrugged inly and ate slowly from my meal. ¡°Alright, eat up. Lunch break is almost over.¡± He urged and smiled at me. ¡°Uh! Sure.¡± I mouthed. * * After few other subjects, school was finally over. It wasn¡¯t too much of fun because the students weren¡¯t nice at all. They didn¡¯t even want to talk nicely to me. And the obj¡­ Laptop, I had broken due to my ignorance, was taken away and I was given a new one.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. The teacher had taught me how to use it and I was quick to grab the teachings. For the rest of day, I was able to use theptop: but not perfectly well. At least, I can open it and turn it on and off. Chelsea was so clingy to Xavier as we were about going home. She wanted toe along with us but she said she got things to do in the house. I was d because I wouldn¡¯t seat with her in the same car with her throwing angry re at me at intervals. She hugged Xavier before going over to her ride. I got inside the car with Xavier and he didn¡¯t even spare me a side nce. The drive home was very quiet, with no words said between the two of us. The quietness was so ufortable and I couldn¡¯t wait to go home. We got home and I was the first to alight. He alighted too and he surprised me by suddenly gripping my arm, pulling me to an abrupt stop. ¡°Don¡¯t tell mom about what happened at the cafeteria okay?¡± Xavier warned sternly. I yanked my hand away from his grip and stared nkly at him. ¡°That¡¯s for me to decide.¡± I snorted and walked into the house. ¡°Dney!¡± His mom screamed happily and ran to meet me at the door. I smiled lightly at her and went into her open arms. ¡°How was school today? Do you like the school? Were the students nice to you? Did the things in the school fascinate you?¡± She asked all at once, not even giving me the chance to say anything. ¡°Which one am I supposed to answer?¡± Iughed lightly. ¡°Oh! My bad! Sorry, I guess I was too ted. So, how was school today?¡± She asked with a smile. ¡°It was fine.¡± I smiled lightly. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about the schoolter, so tell me, how was Xavier to you today?¡± She asked eagerly. I turned and caught Xavier giving me a warning sign not to say anything. ¡°Well¡­¡± I was suddenly saying when Xavier suddenly interrupted and walked up to meet us. ¡®really mom? Have I be invisible that you couldn¡¯t even wee me?¡± He scoffed. ¡°That will wait. Not until Dney tells me something nice about what you did to school today.¡± She chuckled lightly, like a young school girl. ¡®seriously mom.¡± He huffed and red at me. ¡®so Dney, tell me. How was Xavier at school today toward you?¡± She asked. ¡°Well, he wasn¡¯t nice. He made Chelsea bully me.¡± I pouted sadly. The woman turned and red at him and walked to cover the remaining space between Xavier and her but Xavier moved backwards quickly and widen his eyes in shock. ¡°What? Just kill me already!¡± Xavier eximed disbelievingly. * * TBC Chapter 26 XAVIER¡¯s POV: Jesus! This girl is bad. Even after all the warning signs I gave her, she still went ahead to tell mum ¡®really Xavier?¡± Mom asked and hastily moved towards me, before I could move away, her hand were already firmly on my ear. She pulled me by the ear while I winced. ¡°Mom? It hurts!¡± I whined. ¡°What did I tell you about Dney before going to school?¡± She asked, with a- stern-like voice. ¡°That I should take care of her.¡± I grumbled. ¡°And did you?¡± She asked. I kept shut and tried to freed her grip on my ear but she twisted it painfully. ¡°Ouch!¡± I groaned. ¡°Answer me Xavier!¡± She ordered. ¡°I didn¡¯t. Jeez mom, my ear hurts already.¡± I groaned. ¡®seriously? You¡¯re so stubborn.¡± She said and rolled her eyes. ¡°Dney, go up and freshen up. I¡¯lle meet you shortly.¡± Mom said, still twisting my ear. ¡°Okay ma¡±am.¡± She giggled lightly. Mom smiled lightly and pulled me by my ear and walked towards the stairs. I red at Dney while she stared nkly at me. * * ALICIA¡¯s POV: I got back from school and I was damn tired. I went to my room and had a quick shower. I wore my clothes and went down to the kitchen. I opened the pots and I was damned when I didn¡¯t even find a leftover. ¡°Dang it!¡± I cussed angrily. Mom and grandma weren¡¯t home and they didn¡¯t even bother to even leave if it¡¯s just a leftover for me. They¡¯re cruel. My stomach grumbled noisily, reminding me that I¡¯ve got to feed it. Having no other option, I drank a lot of water and dragged my tired and hungry self back to my room. As Iid on the bed, my room door suddenly creaked opened and mom walked in. ¡°Hey Alicia, you¡¯re back.¡± She said the obvious. ¡°Well, as you can see.¡± I rolled my eyes and turned to another direction. ¡°Oh! Wee. Well, get your butt of the bed and wear something nice. We¡¯re going out.¡± She said.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I snapped my head to look at her and sat on my bed. ¡°What¡¯s the asion mom? What are we celebrating?¡± I asked with a smile. ¡°Nothing special. Let¡¯s just say I got a new job with a good pay.¡± She shrugged. ¡°Oh mom! That¡¯s good news.¡± I smiled. ¡°Alright, so hurry up before I change my mind.¡± She said and walked out of my room. ¡°Yes!¡± I smiled tedly. I got down from my bed and hurriedly got to my wardrobe, looking for something nice to wear. I wonder where we¡¯re going to. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV: I got into the house and as usual, I was expecting to see an empty house apart from the maids, but I was damn so shocked to see my both parent seating on the sofa and watching TV. ¡°Mom? Dad?¡± I called surprisingly and walked up to them. ¡°Hey princess.¡± Mom beamed and walked to hug me. I let her hug me but I was still so shocked to find them both at home. ¡°Wee princess.¡± Dad smiled lightly. ¡°What the¡­ What happened? Why are you guys home? I thought you were supposed to be home by the end of the month. But you¡¯re home now.¡± I voiced out, still finding it hard to believe that my parent were both home. Don¡¯t get me wrong, I ain¡¯t unhappy to see my parent but it¡¯s a shocker to see them. Anytime my parent are about leaving and give me a particr date they¡±d be home, they¡¯ll never fulfill their promise. They¡¯ll always have an excuse to extend their stay. But this time around today, they are home, more earlier than I imagined. ¡°We just decided to surprise you.¡± Mom beamed happily. ¡®really? Surprise indeed.¡± I said nonchntly, like I didn¡¯t care but I do care. ¡®so, princess, freshen up and get dressed. We¡¯re going out.¡± Dad smiled. What? ¡°What? We¡¯re going out!¡± I half yelled happily, not believing my ears. ¡°Yes dear.¡± Mom said. ¡°Hope this isn¡¯t a joke?¡± I asked sternly. ¡°Of course not.¡± Dad said and smiled. * * I got dressed and my parent and I got into one of the cars; a red Bugatti Veyron. I smiled and watched the view happily as the chaffeur drove off. I admired the beautiful tall skyscrapers and other beautiful buildings. Not as if I fancy them or something but for the fact that I was happy made me gaze admiringly at them. The chaffeur finally pulled over in front of a ssic restaurant and we alighted. I removed my sunshade sses and walked elegantly with my parent into the restaurant. * * I chatted with my parent as we ate on our meal. If felt so good to finally seat, eat and talk calmly with them, without me getting angry like I would do when I¡¯m being told about their departure again. After we were done eating and drinking, I decided we dropped by at the Mall to get some stuffs I needed. Mum and dad were still in the car and I stepped out before then, headed for the entrance. But unfortunately, a clumsydy bumped into me. ¡°Hey! Are you blind??¡± I snapped at her. ¡®seriously?¡± She scoffed. Hold on¡­ That face! She looked really familiar. Of course!! ¡°You????¡± We both eximed at the same time. ¡°What the f**k are you doing here? And why¡¯re you always being so clumsy?!¡± She snapped at me, making me shocked. She was the same filthydy my driver had sshed mud water on. ¡®seriously?? I think I should be asking you that damn question. What¡¯re you doing here? We actually don¡¯t need low lives in the mall¡± I scoffed. ¡°Listen to me, you little brat¡± she pointed her finger at me. ¡°I¡¯m not gonna take any more insults from you, okay?¡± ¡°Alicia!¡± A young woman came calling after her. ¡°Hey! Alicia; what¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s going on, huh?¡± She asked and held thedy¡¯s hand. So, Alicia¡¯s her name? Hmph ¡°I unfortunately bumped into an animal, mum¡± the Alicia girl replied and my eyes widened in shock. What the heck??? Did she just call me animal?? Immediately, mum and dad showed up. ¡°Hey! Chelsea, what¡¯s going on?¡± Mum asked as she stood beside me with dad. I kept throwing res at the puppies in front of me. But then, I noticed something ¨C the young woman was fixing her eyes on dad. And dad¡­. he was staring back at her as well. ¡°rissa??¡± He suddenly called out. ¡°Jerry?¡± She called out as well. Hold on; do they know each other or what??? * * TBC Chapter 27 ?? CHELSEA POV ?? What¡¯s going on? How do they get to know each other? I wondered. They still had their eyes locked into each other¡¯s faces, surprise clearly written on them. ¡°Do you¡­.. know each other?¡± Mum asked, causing a separation between their eyes. But before dad could speak up, the other woman did. ¡°No, we don¡¯t. Come on, Alicia. Let¡¯s go¡± she said sternly, gripped the clumsydy¡¯s hand and scurried off. Huh?? Why the¡­.? Mum turned and looked at dad who wasn¡¯t saying a word. ¡°Honey, who¡¯s she?¡± She asked, but he still didn¡¯t say a word and angrily, she started walking away to the car. Dad got himself back and we both started walking to join mom. I grumbled in disappointment as we walked to where the car was parked. I didn¡¯t even get to buy what I needed all because of that woman and her good for nothing daughter. Why did they have to show up now? ¡°Mom? My shopping!¡± I whined and tung on her arm. ¡®really? Next time.¡± Mom said. We got to the car and we slide in.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. The drive home was so quiet and it was ufortable. None of my parents said anything but throw res at each other; especially mom. Who the hell is that woman to dad, huh? Jeez! * * ALICIA¡¯s POV As mom and I walked to the bus stop, she looked lost in thought. She hasn¡¯t spoken a word since we left the Mall after bumping into that rude brat¡¯s parents especially her father. I tried starting a conversation with her but she ignored me. I sighed softly and continued to walk beside her. Her smile had faded and she held no expression whatsover. She just look lost and in deep thoughts. * * We both got home. While I went to the kitchen, mom went to her room. Actually, today was fun with mom. She took me to an eatery and I ate to my satisfaction. And my shopping bags were four because I had bought lots of things I¡¯ve been dying to buy. I bought some beautiful clothes and shoes. Mom made me choose whatever I wanted and I was speechless because I didn¡¯t know mom had such amount of money. I happily choose whatever I wanted while mom just picked few things. We went to the grocery side and we both bought food items. We bought frozen foods, sea foods, cereals and breakfast food, canned food, pasta and condiments. Our bags were filled and it was heavy. But I was really happy that we got to go shopping and buy lots of things. I don¡¯t even know thest time we did such. I prepared dinner and serve mom hers in her room. I kept Grandma¡¯s in the kitchen because she returned not quite long and she was having her bath. * * After eating dinner and taking my bath, I wore my pyjamas and climbed onto the bed. I tried falling asleep but sleep wouldn¡¯te. I kept seeing Xavier¡¯s cute and smiling face. I finally gave up sleeping and got down from my bed. I turned on the light and went to my old cab where I keep my drawing materials. I actually love drawing and I draw perfectly well. I arranged my drawing materials and took my pencil. I¡¯m gonna draw him. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV: Xavier¡¯s mom made Xavier tutor me about what we learnt at school. He was grumpy and refused at first but when his mom pulled his ears, he begrudgingly agreed. We sat on a chair in his room with a table in front of us. ¡°Now, listen to me and listen very good¡± he began. ¡°You must do exactly as I say, okay? And don¡¯t even think of stressing me cause I¡¯ve got no time to waste¡±. Geez! I just nodded so he doesn¡¯t get angry. ¡°First of all, rewrite these sentences¡± he said and ced a book and pen in front of me. Hmm. On the book was written some sentences, but the problem was, I didn¡¯t know how to Make use of a pen. Back there in Marazona, we wrote with sticks, touched in colors. I held it in a funny way and ced it on the book, trying to copy what the boy¡±d asked. ¡°And what do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± He scoffed and I looked at him. ¡®seriously? Is that how to hold a pen?¡± I bit my lower lip and stared down at the table bashfully. ¡°Gosh¡± he mumbled under his breath and held my hand. His skin was so soft. ¡°You hold it this way¡± he stated calmly, but I could see he was forcing himself to be calm. ¡°Your index finger should be here¡­¡­and this, here¡± He ced the fingers the way he wanted and asked me to continue. ¡°T¡­. Thanks¡± I told him and tried focusing on the paper. It so wasn¡¯t easy writing on it, but I tried. ¡°Holy Crap!¡± He eximed when I was done with one sentence. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you used ten f**king lines in writing just one sentence!!¡± Huh? What are lines? I pondered and looked at the book. Actually, I saw some lines across it. But¡­. did they really matter? He took the book and stared at it. Then sighed. ¡°I guess we need to start with handwriting¡± he mumbled and brought out another book from the bag. * * #NEXT_MORNING. ALICIA¡¯s POV: I yawned lightly and sat on top of my bed. I stretched out my body and got down from the bed. I pulled off my clothes and tied my towel around my body. I got into the bathroom and had a cool shower. * * I smiled enthusiastically as I waited patiently for Xavier¡¯s car to drive into the schoolpound. And just as I thought, his car drove into the schoolpound. I walked towards his car, but my joy seized when he came out with twodies ¨C urgh!! The spoilt brat from yesterday and the otherdy who¡±d lost her ne. Gosh! Why¡¯re they together, huh? I quickly diverted to another direction cause I didn¡¯t want to see them. But how do I give the drawing to him? I really wanted him to notice me! * * TBC Chapter 28 Dney¡¯s pov: Chelsea as usual, was so clingy towards Xavier like a ma as we walked towards the stairs. She had a huge smile on her face as her arms were around his shoulders while Xavier¡¯s hands were around her waist; she actually made him hold her on her waist. So pathetic! Some girls took pictures of them together and probably, it would make Chelsea¡¯s head swell more with pride. I was beside them and asionally, she would re and huff at me. ¡°Xavier?¡± She called tenderly with a pout. We where at what I got to know the previous day as the hallway. She removed her arms from his shoulders and stopped walking. Xavier stopped walking too and turned to look at her. Since I didn¡¯t know the way to the ssroom, I had to wait too. I seriously don¡¯t want to get lost in this big school. I might not even be found. ¡°Yeah?¡± Xavier answered. ¡°Does she really have to continue to walk with us everyday and everywhere? I seriously don¡¯t like it and I¡¯m notfortable with it. She¡¯s like a pest.¡± She whined and rolled her eyes. ¡°C¡¯mon Chels, what¡¯s wrong with her walking with us everyday and everywhere? And beside that Chels, mom made it clear to me that I shouldn¡¯t let her out of my sight and I don¡¯t want to receive another twist of the ear. It hurts you know.¡± Xavier shrugged. I chuckled lightly and covered my mouth with my palm from making me burst into wideughter. Chelsea red angrily at me. ¡°But Xavier, I don¡¯t want her anywhere us.¡± Chelsea groaned. ¡°But¡­. I¡¯m not doing anything wrong¡± I said calmly. ¡°And who said you had to do anything wrong before staying away from us?¡± Chelsea snapped. Gosh! Seriously? ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it Chelsea. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a problem with her staying with us. Besides, she¡¯s new here and I wouldn¡¯t want her ruining things all around. Come on, let¡¯s go¡± Xavier said and started walking away. Oops! Chelsea stood and red at me and I shrugged and went after Xavier. Whatever her problem is. * * Chelsea¡¯s Pov: Gosh! This is so not funny. I¡¯m here ¨C trying to stop Xavier from being a yer, yet this dumbdy had toe into the picture. I hate it when he¡¯s around otherdies. I f**king hate it! No matter what, I just needed to get him away from her. * * Hera¡¯s pov: The woman whom I got to know that she doesn¡¯t have a husband, took good care of me. She said her name is Emily and her husband died about three years ago and she doesn¡¯t have a child. I got to know so many things about her and when she had asked me about myself, I told her briefly about myself. She had been so shocked and utterly speechless when I told her I wasn¡¯t from Earth. She didn¡¯t quite believe me though but she didn¡¯t question me. In her house, there are so many strange things. The previous day, I had broken what she called a television because I saw strange people in it. I had been so shocked and frightened that I didn¡¯t know when I smashed the tv. She was pissed at me but after she got to know it was my first time seeing a thing like that, she let it go. She¡¯s kind but I haven¡¯t fully adapted to the things in her house. I haven¡¯t been since the two days that I¡¯ve been here. When I told her I don¡¯t have anywhere to go, she decided to take me in as her daughter. She leaves for work every morning ande back at night. She had taught me how to wear the strange leaves she called *clothes.*Content ? N?velDrama.Org. She also taught me how to use the bathroom and toilet. It wasn¡¯t easy knowing them but I eventually knew it. In Marazona, I¡¯m used to people serving me but here in Emily¡¯s house, reverse is the case because I¡¯m serving her and it isn¡¯t easy for me one bit. I clean the house and do some other minor works but they are really exhausting. I¡¯m a princess for crying out loud and I ain¡¯t supposed to be working like a ve! I really want to yell at Emily but I can¡¯t. She saved me, took me in and fed me and I¡¯m grateful for that. But seriously, I¡¯m tired of living like a ve when I know that where I came from, I¡¯m a princess and I¡¯m being served. If I knew life on Earth could be difficult and different, then I wouldn¡¯t have bothered toe. * * TBC This one hasn¡¯t seen anything. Chapter 29 Hera¡¯s pov: ¡°Hera!¡± Emily called aloud. I grumbled angrily and closed my ears with my both hands. Jeez, that woman can disturb! Ever since she returned from her work, it¡¯s Hera this, Hera that. Gosh! I¡¯m tired already. She wouldn¡¯t even give me a break. ¡°Hera!¡± She called again, but this time around, very loud. ¡°Yes Emily, I¡¯ming!¡± I grumbled loudly. I got down from the bed and slipped in my legs in what Emily called *a fluffy slippers.* I walked out of the room and went down the stairs, as she had called it too. She was there, her legs crossed on the center ss table. ¡°Yes Emily.¡± I feigned a tight lip smile. ¡°It¡¯s ma¡±am Emily. And ma¡±am when you¡¯re addressing me.¡± She chastised. ¡°Okay Emi¡­ I mean, ma¡±am Emily.¡± I sighed and rolled my eyes. ¡°I want you to go to the kitchen and get me an apple from the counter.¡± She smiled. ¡°Okay ma¡±am Emily.¡± I almost huffed but I decided against it instead, I smiled lightly and walked away to go carry out her order. Like seriously? I grumbled all the way to the kitchen, feeling so pissed off and tired. That woman would kill me before my time, if she doesn¡¯t stop with her unending errands. I need to continue to leave with her and get to know a lot of things about Earth before I¡¯ll finally leave and go in search of Dney. I¡¯m gonna learn very fast so I wouldn¡¯t spend years with Emily. * * Xavier¡¯s pov: ¡°Yeah¡­hum¡­ Yes¡­ Oh god!¡± The bitch moaned loudly as I screwed her. Her moans were like music and it gave me an hard on. I drilled her roughly while she moaned loudly. ¡°Oh Xavier, I¡¯m gonnae!¡± She groaned in ecstacy as I plunged deeper into her not-too tight p**sy. ¡°Fuck!¡± I cussed when I felt my c*m build up. In a split second, we both came. I pulled out of her and spank her butt. She gasped and breathed out loudly. We breathed deeply, trying to catch our breathe. ¡°That was one hell of a s*x.¡± She smiled sweetly. I don¡¯t even know the bitch name. ¡°Yeah. We are done!¡± I replied perfunctorily and zipped up properly. ¡°Would there be a next time?¡± She pouted sexily and licked her lips seductively. Gosh! She¡¯s gonna make me drill her again. ¡°There¡¯s not gonna be a next time bitch!¡± I groaned sternly. Her eyes snapped opened and stared shockingly at me. ¡°Xavier¡­ I thought¡­¡± She trailed off and tried to touch my chest but I swat her hand away. ¡°What we just had meant nothing to me. You¡¯re just like one of those cheap whores I use in satisfying my sexual urge, get that into your thick skull.¡± I snapped and rolled my eyes. Her eyes glistened as unshed tears welled up in her eyes. Jeez! ¡°I¡¯m done with you. I don¡¯t f*ck a girl twice.¡± I smirked and pushed her slightly out of my way. I got outside and smiled lightly. These girls should keep dreaming that I¡±d want to have anything to do with them. They are so cheap and easy to get. Gosh! The bitch red at me before running out of the girls restroom. I tucked my hands inside my pair of trousers pocket and made to leave, but then, a girl hastily walked towards me. I think she got out from one of the rooms. ¡°Hi Xavier.¡± She smiled shyly and tucked her hair behind her ear. I haven¡¯t seen her around before and I guess she¡¯s a new student. ¡°Yeah. What do you want?¡± I asked perfunctorily. ¡°Well, erm¡­¡± She stuttered and bent her head. Gosh! Does this girl know she¡¯s waisting my time? I noticed her hands were behind her back, like she was hiding something. ¡°Hurry up with whatever you want to say okay? I¡¯ve got things do.¡± I replied sharply with an eye roll. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m sorry. Well, erm¡­ I like you Xavier and I wanted to give you this.¡± She smiled sweetly. She brought out her hidden hands from her back and stretched out a cardboard paper to me. I took a surprise nce at her andughed silently but mockingly. ¡®really?¡± I scoffed and roamed my eyes around her body. She doesn¡¯t look bad but she¡¯s definitely not my type. She looks like a nerd and jeez, nerds would be thest set of people I¡¯ll ever have anything to do with. ¡°I really like you.¡± She smiled. I smirked and rolled my eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t like you and I don¡¯t want to have whatever that¡¯s with you.¡± I shrugged perfunctorily. ¡°Please Xavier, please. I¡±d really appreciate it if you¡±d ept it. I spent hours doing it.¡± She begged with a sad countenance. I grumbled but I finally took it from her. I looked at her and then back at the cardboard paper. ¡°I hope you like it? I drew it myself.¡± She said proudly. It was actually a very beautiful drawing of me wearing my uniform and having a lollipop sweet in my mouth. Wow! I was really impressed. ¡°Hum!¡± I cleared my throat and looked at her with a straight face. She really did draw it perfectly well. I looked like a demi god and it really looked exactly like me. ¡°Well, thanks.¡± I said perfunctorily and walked away.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. * * Alicia¡¯s pov: I had heard everything that went on in the room closer to mine. I heard the making out sounds and all, and I felt kind of disgusted. I kind of, because it wasing from Xavier. I really do like him and find anything he does disgusted. If it where someone else, I would have barged in and given them a piece of my mind. I did that in my alma- mater. When I had given Xavier the drawing, my heart beat had elerated greatly with nervousness. * * But wait! Did Xavier reallymend me? Did he say thank you? And my eyes weren¡¯t deceiving me when I saw him smile when staring at the drawing right? Oh my! I think I¡¯m gonna explode with joy!

Chapter 30 Dney¡¯s pov: In school, I didn¡¯t find it difficult to learn or assimte, all thanks to Xavier. He had taught me very well the previous day and though I couldn¡¯t get everything, I still learnt and remembered the very important ones. When it was lunch break, Xavier, Chelsea and I went to the cafeteria together. Thank goodness, this time around, Chelsea didn¡¯t make any move to tell me to leave. But I could tell she wasn¡¯t happy with the fact that I¡¯m sitting and eating with them. * * Emily¡¯s pov: Having Hera in my house as lessened some works for me. At least, she do the dishes, she arranges the house and scrubbed the house neatly. Sometimes, she even wash my clothes and that as hell reduce a lot of stress for me. It has also fill the vacuum of me not having a child. She¡¯s taken away the sadness of not having a child in my life; I don¡¯t even mind keeping her forever. I finished working and I was asked to go see my manager. I just hope she has something important to say. I just pray she wants to increase my sry and that¡±d really be great. ¡°Good evening.¡± I greeted politely to the manager, who¡¯s probably in herte forties. Her name is Julie and she¡¯s a very quiet woman and she hardlyes out of her office ever since she was employed about four months ago. ¡°Yeah, evening.¡± She said and twirled her swivel chair around.This text is ?

So in essence, I¡¯m saying that you¡¯re fired. I¡¯m really sorry ma¡±am Emily.¡± She spoke calmly. My head rang a loud bell as I stared doubtfully at her. What? What did I hear I say? I¡¯m fired? Oh God! ¡°Are you really serious? Why?¡± I huffed disbelievingly and shook my head. No, it can¡¯t be. ¡°I don¡¯t know the reason ma¡±am but I¡¯m following ording to what I was told.

I¡¯ve been working in this caf¨¦ for the past four years and this is how they repay my hardworks and diligence? This is so unfair. Where do I start from? Where do I start looking for a job now huh? Why now? I sighed dejectedly and walked out of the caf¨¦ premises. I got home and had my bath. I didn¡¯t even bother to eat dinner because I already lost my appetite. I still felt pained and bittered about the whole thing. I was fired even without a tangible reason. This is not so fair at all! * * After my sleepless night, I got ready for job hunting. Hera already prepared breakfast but I wasn¡¯t hungry. I took just few amount of money before leaving the house. * After hours of fruitless search, I became tired. I went to a caf¨¦ and cafeteria but I wasn¡¯t employed. I also checked hotels and I wasn¡¯t given any job too. I felt tired and exhausted. My waist and legs hurt and it felt as if I would fall any moment. I was weary and it waste already too. * * I stared at the big mansion in front of me and sighed sadly. I need to give it a try even if there¡¯s no sign for any job vacancy. I breathed in and out and walked to the huge gate. I knocked loudly on the gate and a stern, mean and huge looking man opened the gate. After some brief interrogations, I was allowed in by a woman I think is the owner of the house. * * ¡°You¡¯re fortunate to have dropped bye.

So, you know what? I¡±d give you a call tomorrow and tell you if you¡¯re hired or not. You¡±d send me your number.¡± She smiled sweetly at me.

And before I had slept, I prayed that I get the job even if it looks obvious that I¡¯ll definitely get the job. In the afternoon the next day, I was so restless. I was waiting for Mrs Jenny to call. Or wouldn¡¯t she employ me? * ¡°Hello. Yes ma¡±am. Okay ma¡±am.¡± I smiled happily over the phone. ¡°Yes!¡± I screamed happily. ¡°Hera!¡± I called out to Hera.

She gazed at me like I¡¯ve asked the most unheard question. ¡°You don¡¯t know who a son is? Like, a male child or a boy?¡± She asked, nonplussed. I scrunched my face in confusion as she called out what I didn¡¯t understand and what I¡¯ve never heard before. ¡°What are all those names you called? Are they names of ces or what? I don¡¯t understand.¡± I said, feeling so confused. ¡°Okay, I thought you were joking. But it seems you are not. You¡¯re damn serious.¡± Sheughed lightly. ¡°But first of all before I tell you what it means, I just wanna let you know that, I¡¯ve gotten a job to be a cook in a wealthy house.¡± She sighed softly. ¡°Okay.¡± I nodded my head. ¡°Now, let¡¯s go seat on the couch, so I can exin to you the meaning of a son.¡± She smiled and pulled me to seat. ¡°Well, a son is a male person. Just like we have you as a female, we also have another gender called the males.¡± She exined. ¡®really?¡± I asked, seemingly interested about the whole thing. ¡°Let me continue.

Well, so I was curious and I¡­¡± I sighed and twitched my lips innocently. ¡°Go on. And you what?¡± She asked impatiently. I gulped down nothing and fondled with with my fingers childishly. ¡°I, erm¡­ Grabbed the thing and he poured the juice on me.¡± I exhaled and stared intently at her. ¡°Oh my Laney! Why would you grab his thing?¡± She queried. ¡°I was just curious! I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± I sighed. ¡°Okay, but don¡¯t do that again. Okay?¡± She admonished. ¡°Okay. But what exactly was that?¡± I asked. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t still understand even if I tell you. Go have your bath. You smell like orange.¡± She giggled lightly and made me stand up. ¡°Alright.¡± I smiled shyly and walked out of her room. * * Xavier¡¯s pov: Geez! That girl doesn¡¯t know what she did by grabbing my d*ck like that! She¡¯s got some guts huh? She almost gave me a hard on by just her touch on it. But damn! Her eyes, she looked so innocent. She looked like she couldn¡¯t hurt a fly and she didn¡¯t know what exactly she did. I bet she doesn¡¯t know what she did to me. What are other strange things do I not know about this alien? Hasn¡¯t she seen a d*ck in where she¡¯s from? Doesn¡¯t she know what is for? Is she that innocent and na?ve? Argh! I brought out my brief and wore it. I took out a pair of royal blue trousers and a shirt. I wore them and used my towel to dry my hair. I brushed down my hair and wore a tiny ne around my neck and a ring on my smallest finger. I wore a ck small earring on my left ear. I smiled in contentment and climbed onto my bed. I took my phone from my drawer beside my bed and unlocked my phone. Even as I tried to busy myself with games on my phone, I still couldn¡¯t get Dney¡¯s soft touch on my d*ck and the innocent look she had given me. Oh God! I think I¡¯m gonna go crazy! * * The next day was weekend and there was nothing much to do. I just had my bath and surf through the inte. I chatted with Rio and then, with Chelsea. I posted new pictures, read sweet messages andments on Instagram and logged out. I did my weekend project and I was back to boredom. * * ¡°Xavier?¡± I heard mom¡¯s soft knock on my door. ¡°Open the door.¡± She said in a tiny voice. I groaned and got down from my bed. I slipped my legs into my slippers and started towards the door. I twisted the knob and I was face-to-face with mom. ¡°Hey.¡± She smiled. ¡°Hi mom.¡± I smiled lightly and opened the door wider for her to step in. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m not staying for a conversation with you or something.¡± She told me. I left the door and stared intently at her. She smiled and I could see a glint of mischievousness in her eyes and that smile of hers. ¡°What is it mom? I know you¡¯re up to something. Just spill it out already.¡± I groaned and rolled my eyes. ¡°You know me too well.¡± She grinned. ¡°Well, I want you and Dney to go over to the grocery store and get some items for me.¡± She smiled. ¡®really mom? I¡¯m busy.¡± I said sarcastically. ¡°C¡¯mon Xavier. Dney¡¯s never been out there since she came in. She¡¯s always indoors after school and I know it¡¯s boring her. She needs to explore and see ces. You could take her to see ces too and have fun. You need to live a little you know.¡± She said, but she was damn serious. ¡°But mom¡­¡± I tried to disagree. ¡°Please Xavier, for the sake of me, your mother. Please, do this for me. You¡¯re gonna benefit from it too. Just loosen up a bit even if it¡¯s only for today.¡± She pouted and sped her hands together. I shook my head negatively and stared at her pleading gaze on me. ¡°Please?¡± She whined like a schoolgirl. ¡°Okay, fine mom. I will.¡± I surrendered atst. ¡®really son? You will?¡± She asked with a warming smile. ¡°Yeah mom, I¡¯ll go out with Dney to the grocery store.¡± * * TBC Let¡¯s see how this outing will go Chapter 33 Xavier¡¯s pov: Mom smiled as I said those words and hugged me tight. ¡°Thank you so much Xavier.¡± She beamed enthusiastically. ¡°It¡¯s okay mom.¡± I said and smiled lightly. * * Hera¡¯s pov: ¡°Hera dear, would you like to go with me to the Maddox mansion?¡± Emily asked with a smile as she got dressed. ¡®really? You¡±d take me there?¡± I asked enthusiastically. ¡°Yeah. That¡¯s if you¡±d go with me.¡± She smiled and packed her in a tight bun. ¡°I¡±d love to!¡± I smiled ecstatically. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go.¡± She said and stared at me. ¡°But can I go dressed like this?¡± I asked as I stared at the strange clothes Emily had wore for me early this morning after breakfast. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it? It¡¯s perfectly okay.¡± She smiled and took in my appearance. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡± I smiled and we both left the room. * * A silent wow escaped my lips as I stared around the big but what I still find difficult to call a house. Beforeing, we had entered a strange looking long ¨C something like a house, but Emily had called it a bus. Now, as I stared at this very huge and magnificent house before me, I was left awestruck. What kind of a house is this? Even in the pce at Marazona isn¡¯t has half big as this. I looked around thepound my eyes caught with about four to five small- like house. But it looked rather different from the houses I¡¯ve seen. And also, I had seen countless of this small houses on the road. But why would a house move? This is really so strange but yet, fascinating. ¡°Ma¡±am Emily, what exactly are those?¡± I asked curiously and pointed at where the small houses where. ¡°Oh! Those are cars. Just like the bus we had entered, that¡¯s a car.¡± She exined with a smile. ¡®really? A car? What¡¯s a car?¡± I asked, perplexed. ¡°You ask too many questions Hera. A car is a four-wheeled vehicle that moves on the road and carry a little number of people to wherever they¡¯re going.¡± She exined. I mouthed an oh because I was still a little bit confused but I didn¡¯t want to ask any questions further. Emily held my hands and walked further into thepound. She got to the door and pressed something on the door. Just immediately, the door opened revealing a beautiful girl with a smile on her face. ¡°Oh! You¡¯re here Emily.¡± She smiled and opened the door wider for us to go in. ¡°Hi E.¡± Emily said as we walked into the house. ¡°You¡¯re just in time to get ready to prepare lunch. Ma¡±am Jenny just stepped out for a while.¡± She said further and joined us in walking inside the house. I looked around the house and my jaw dropped in amazement. The sight in front of me was something I¡¯ve never seen before. Oh my! I don¡¯t even know the right words to use to describe this beautiful inside of the house. I was awed as I looked around while Emily and E chatted. My gaze suddenly fell on the television but this one was bigger than the one I had broken at Emily¡¯s. It was wider and it was hung beautifully on the wall. The television was on and it was showing whatever strange things I didn¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t seem frightened seeing people on it like I was at first when I saw them at Emily¡¯s. But suddenly, what I think is a male person suddenly showed up. The male was beautiful and so cute, I¡¯ve never seen a more beautiful person. The male had what looked like a sweet in his lips and had a huge smile on his face. Gorgeously beautiful! He smiled at me while I smiled back. He winked at me and I felt my face heat up. I winked back andughed lightly. * * Emily was done with whatever she was supposed to do and it was time for us to go. We said bye to E while she waved at us in return. ¡°Let¡¯s get some things at the grocery store.¡± Emily said as we walked out of thepound. I nodded my head even though I don¡¯t know what she meant by the *grocery store*. As we made to enter what I think is the grocery store, I bumped into somebody. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I said and tried to pick what fell from the persons hand but the person beat me to it. The person took the gaze to stare at me and my eyes nearly fell off. What?Content ? N?velDrama.Org. This was the beautiful male I had seen on the television a while ago. ¡°Male? You really exist don¡¯t you?¡± I asked in amazement. He creased his eyebrows and stared at me like I¡¯ve gone insane. ¡°Do you know me?¡± He frowned and poked his chest. ¡°Yes. And you know me too.¡± I smiled lightly. ¡°How?¡± He asked. ¡°You were the beautiful male that smiled and winked at me from the television!¡± * * TBC Crazy Hera. Who can guess who she met?

You look so beautiful in reality!¡± She enthused and started touching me all over my body. ¡°What the hell! Get your filthy hands of me! Who the hell are you?¡± I rasped angrily and yanked her hands away from my body. ¡°Why are you grumpy? Don¡¯t you know me?¡± She asked and batted her eyshes innocently. ¡°I¡¯m sorry mister, pardon her insolence.¡± A woman ¨C whom I guess is her mother, said with a small smile. ¡°But seriously, you¡¯re so cute!¡± She ¨C I mean the crazy girl, smiled dreamily. ¡°Let¡¯s go now Hera. It¡¯s gettingte already and you don¡¯t want to get into trouble with this young mister.¡± The woman whispered softly to the girl. I huffed and looked at the crazy girl who had a smile on her face. The woman turned and pulled the girl away. She smiled and waved at me but I scoffed and rolled my eyes. ¡°Xavier!¡± I heard my name and turned and saw Dney walking towards me. She had actually went to the car to get a bottle water. I turned and saw the girl trying to turn but her mother dragged her and they were both out of sight. ¡°Who was that?¡± Dney asked as she got to where I stood. She peeped ¨C trying to see if she could see the girl that was already out of sight. ¡°No one important. Just a crazy girl that perhaps just left the asylum.¡± I shrugged inly and started towards where the car was parked. ¡°I didn¡¯t get to see her, but she looked rather familiar.¡± She sighed as she continued to look at the direction were the woman and the girl had passed through. ¡°Let¡¯s go already okay?¡± I grumbled. Dney trailed behind me and carried one of the shopping bags from me. * * Hera¡¯s pov: When Emily and I were leaving, I heard a voice that sounded like Dney¡¯s. I wanted to turn to have a look but Emily dragged me away. Was it just in my imagination or what? But I know I clearly heard her voice call out to that beautiful male. But was I hallucinating? Gosh! And that cute male, he looked so beautiful that he looked like he wasn¡¯t real ¨C but he was. At least, I touched and felt him. I¡¯ll love to see him again. But he didn¡¯t look please to see me. But he had smiled and winked at me and I¡¯m sure I wasn¡¯t hallucinating. He really did smile and winked at me and he was still the same male I had seen on the television. Argh! I¡¯m so confused! * * ¡°Why did you behave like that in front of that mister?¡± Emily scolded as she prepared dinner. ¡°How did I behave?¡± I asked and rolled my eyes. ¡®really?¡± She huffed and stopped chopping the onions and turned to look at me. ¡°Are you really asking me that? You know how you behaved and you know it wasn¡¯t proper especially to a stranger.¡± She queried. ¡°I was just being excited seeing someone I saw on TV in reality. He even smiled and winked at me and I was happy to see the beautiful male.¡± I shrugged perfunctorily. ¡°Eish! You¡¯re so hard to deal with. But don¡¯t do that again huh? Here isn¡¯t your where you can hug and talk friendly with anyone you see.¡± She admonished. ¡°Yeah, whatever.¡± * * Dney¡¯s pov: ¡°How was the outing Dney?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom squealed enthusiastically and held my hands. I smiled shyly at her and bent my head. ¡°Xavier dear, hope you were nice to her?¡± She beamed and smiled at Xavier who just rolled his eyes and shook his head. ¡°Hope you¡¯re happy that I went out with your sweet Dney?¡± He asked sarcastically. ¡°Don¡¯t be jealous okay? Anyways, thank you for taking Dney out.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom smiled and patted his shoulder. ¡°Yeah. And please mom, tell one of the maids to please get me a ss of cold juice and the pizza in the fridge.¡± Xavier sighed and started towards the stairs. ¡°Okay son!¡± His mom called after him. ¡°Let¡¯s go Dney, you have a lot to tell me.¡± She enthused and held my hand.

Students call us pretty bullies but we don¡¯t give a damn. We just kinda find joy in taunting and making of students we don¡¯t like, especially the na?ve and nerdy ones. Gosh! I hate those set of people. Well, we are pretty and from wealthy homes and people say we are proud. But that¡¯s their own cup of cold coffee. They can¡¯t say nonsense to our faces because they¡¯re scared of us and that¡¯s what we like ¨C for students to be scared of us. And also, we are one of the ssiest students in school. ¡°Hi Brielle.¡± Brianna smiled and sat beside me my bed. ¡°Hi.¡± I replied perfunctorily and sipped from my wine. ¡°You look lost in thought. Care to share?¡± ir asked and sat opposite me on a stool. ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about that new student ¨C Dney.¡± I sighed and sat properly on the bed, with my full attention on them. ¡°Wait, that new student that follows Xavier like his shadow?¡± Brianna scoffed. ¡°Yeah, right.¡± I nodded my head. ¡°And what did that lowlife do to you?¡± ir asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± I shrugged. ¡°Then why are you thinking about her?¡± Brianna asked. ¡°I don¡¯t like her.

I didn¡¯t hear her correctly. ¡°What?¡± Brianna yelled angrily. ¡°I wonder who she is to him.¡± ir sighed. ¡°Perhaps, a maid.¡± I scoffed and scrunched my face in disgust. ¡°I really want to taunt and make fun of her.

She didn¡¯t wrong you, did she?¡± ir asked and stared intently at her. ¡°What do you mean ir? I don¡¯t like her and for that, she¡¯s on my bad book. It¡¯ll feel so nice seeing her greatly humiliated because of her stupid and faux innocence.¡± I snapped. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bad idea to taunt or harm her?¡± ir asked. ¡°Are you seriously taking sides with that girl?¡± I red up. ¡°No, I¡¯m just trying to make you see reasons not to do anything stupid to her.¡± ir shrugged and chung down the whole quantity of wine.

I told every single details to Xavier¡¯s mom about our outing. We went to just two fun ces and Xavier was all grumpy. I tried persuading him to have fun and y games with me, but he refused. It was as if I came on my own because Xavier didn¡¯t pay attention to me. It wasn¡¯t entirely boring because I got to see ces I¡¯ve never seen before. And I got to know about some other things ¨C I learnt a lot of new things. I yed with what Xavier had called bubbles because I liked it and saw children with it. Xavier grumbled and called me a kid because of how I excited I was to y with the bubbles. Even though Xavier tried to ruin the fun with his grumpy attitude and unending grumbling, I still enjoyed my day. I was d I got to explore ¨C even if it¡¯s just few ces, around Earth.

Though I won¡¯t lie that I missed Marazona. * * The next day which was Sunday, we just stayed at home and did nothing. I was bored to death because there was nothing for me to do. After eating lunch which was about few minutes ago, Iid on my bed and stared nkly at the ceiling. I thought of ways to keep me busy but I couldn¡¯t think of any. I suddenly thought of Xavier and I mentally screamed happily. Yes! I¡¯m gonna convince him to y a game with me. I guess he¡¯s as bored as I am. I stood up from my bed and went out of my room. I got to Xavier¡¯s room and entered ¨C more like I was tiptoeing. I closed the door and stared around. My eyes caught with the back of Xavier as he was standing in front of his mirror. ¡°You seriouslyck manners, don¡¯t you?¡± He spoke up, still facing the mirror and doing something to the shirt he wore ¨C he was joining little white things together. ¡°Huh? Erm¡­¡± I cleared my throat nervously and stared down at my feet. ¡°What do you want?¡± He asked rudely. He turned and faced me but my heart suddenly skipped.

What¡¯s happening to me? ¡®really?¡± He scoffed sarcastically. ¡°Well, too bad I won¡¯t be able to y your so called game.¡± He huffed and brushed past my shoulder and I suddenly felt something ¨C something I couldn¡¯t quite understand. ¡°Huh?¡± I asked speechlessly, not really getting what he meant. ¡°As you can see, except you are blind, I¡¯m going out.¡± He replied rudely. I felt like twisting his ears hard and giving him a smack on the head. Gosh, he¡¯s too rude and arrogant. ¡°Okay.¡± I replied lowly and left the room. I got to my room and copsed on the bed, with my legs dangling from the bed. Argh! This boredom is something else! * * Hera¡¯s pov Iughed heartily to the joke Emily was telling as I chop the vegetables while she rinsed the meat. We were both making dinner together before Emily would leave for work. ¡°That was funny! I can imagine how his face would have looked like!

He was ashamed to get off the garbage.¡± Emilyughed. ¡°And he probably had stinked!¡± I added andughed. In the days that I have spent with Emily, I¡¯vee to like her, but not entirely because of the errands she sends me. At a point, I had almost forgotten why I came down to Earth. I haven¡¯t even mapped out my n on how to get Dney. I don¡¯t even know anywhere around here. Where will I even start from? I really need to get a hold on Dney because time isn¡¯t on my side. * * I stood in front of the TV watching whatever they were showing. I folded my arms under my boobs and watched with keen interest. I didn¡¯t understand even a single thing on what was going on, but I continued watching anyway because I felt fascinated with it. I got tired of standing and I was about leaving when something or rather, someone caught my attention. I turned back to the TV and I saw Xavier inside the television. What? How did he get in there? I tried touching him but I couldn¡¯t because of the ss of the television preventing him. Could he be in danger? He said he was going out but how on Earth did he get into the television. I suddenly felt scared as different negative thoughts ran through my mind. What if he¡¯s trapped inside and he can¡¯t get out. Oh my! ¡°Ma¡±am!¡± I called out loudly hurriedly started towards the stairs. Xavier¡¯s mom was already climbing hastily down the stairs. ¡°Ma¡±am?¡± I called fretfully as she got to where I stood. ¡°What is it Dney?¡± She asked worriedly and I bursted into tears. ¡°Ma¡±am it¡¯s Xavier!¡± I cried. ¡°What happened to him?

She held my hands and we both went to stand in front of the TV, and luckily for me, Xavier was still there, but this time, he was smiling. Gosh! He looked extremely beautiful and cute. Xavier¡¯s mom eyes dimmed and she suddenly bursted into a hystericalughter. ¡°Oh my Dney!¡± Sheughed harder and held her stomach. I looked at her in disbelief, wondering why she was suddenlyughing when there¡¯s a serious issue at hand. Wasn¡¯t she supposed to be panicking and thinking of a way to bring out her son? And what exactly is funny? ¡°You want to give me an heart attack for no reason!¡± Sheughed, but this time, softly. ¡°I don¡¯t understand you ma¡±am.¡± I spoke out my mind, with me staring confusingly at her. ¡°It¡¯s mom Dney, mom. You should stop calling me ma¡±am.¡± She said instead with a slight frown. ¡°Okay, mom.¡± I sighed. ¡°Well, Xavier isn¡¯t trapped. He was doing amercial.¡± Sheughed. I creased my eyebrows in confusion and stared intently at her. ¡°Oh! I know that look. You don¡¯t understand right?¡± She asked and smiled lightly. I nodded my head, not knowing exactly what to say. ¡°Well, you see, Xavier is into what we call modelling and othermercials. He¡¯s to dress for a particrpany and advertise to the public by showing it on TV. I don¡¯t really know how to exin it for you to understand better.¡± She sighed. ¡°It¡¯s fine ma¡±am.

I exhaled deeply and stared at the ceiling. ¡°Nothing.¡± I said atst. ¡®really Xavier? Nothing?¡± He scoffed. Wait, how do I tell him that ever since that girl ¨C Dney, grabbed my d*ck I haven¡¯t been able to get her off my mind. Sometimes, I end up thinking of how to screw her mercilessly. Mere reminiscing about that day, I do have erections and it¡¯s always very annoying. And one thing I hate and I don¡¯t do is to masturbate. I really need to do something before that girl finally seed in making me want her desperately. I sighed and stared at Rio who had an expectant look. ¡®seriously Rio, I¡¯m fine.¡± I smiled assuringly. ¡°Xavier!¡± He suddenly gasped loudly. I rolled my eyes and hissed lowly. ¡°What? Why did you gasp like you were gonna freak out!¡± I groaned. ¡°You already have an erection!¡± He gasped. And that was when I bent my head to see my d*ck hard and bulgy against my trouser. ¡°F*ck!¡± I cussed angrily as I stared at my hard on. I felt greatly embarrassed and I felt like entering into the ground. ¡°Yeah.¡± I shrugged like it¡¯s nothing ¨C but it¡¯s sure more like a big deal to me. Like what the hell? Having a hard on just because of mere thinking of a girl I don¡¯t even like. Gosh! I think I¡¯m going crazy! I need to see the doctor. ¡°You know what? Let¡¯s just go f*ck some bitches.¡± Rio said atst and I was d he broke the awkward silence. I was too embarrassed to even say anything. ¡®sure.¡± * * Alicia¡¯s pov ¡°Alicia!¡± I heard mom call out to me. I grumbled and put away with the strange ne. I got down from my bed and left my room.

You¡¯ve been sleeping while I haven¡¯t rested a bit.¡± Mom hissed. ¡°Yeah, sorry mom.¡± I said, more like a whisper. As I help mom to chop the vegetable, my mind drifted to the ne. I haven¡¯t seen anyone to buy it at a high price and I really want to sell it off to get some money. I¡¯ve tried selling it off at different ces but nobody seems really interested in it. And even if they are, it¡±d be at a cheaper price not even enough for even a sweatband. Do I just return it or should I keep it? Gosh! I feel totally confused. The look on the girl¡¯s face on the day she lost the ne, was something that I could easily tell and understand. She values it so much and she looked really sad when she lost it. But why¡¯s it so important to her? Is it something special? But why does it look really strange ¨C I haven¡¯t seen a thing like that before. Thinking about it now, it¡¯s of no use to me. Should I sell it at a cheaper rate or just return it? * * Xavier¡¯s pov ¡°Xavier?¡± I heard my name being called gently as my door opened and closed.

Those lips! Geez! I shook my head and got down from my bed. I took low strides towards her with her hands fondling nervously with the hem of her shirt. She looked so cute. Gosh! Why does she have to be this beautiful? She stood still with her gaze still on her feet. I got to where she stood and brought her closely to my body. Her boobs were on my chest while my hands were wrapped firmly around her waist. I licked my lips and stared at her small but pink lips. It looked really good for kissing. Her breathe hitched as she gaped at me. ¡°Do you really want me to give you myptop and also help you out with your assignment?¡± I smirked and trailed my finger down to her cleavage. She shuddered and looked everywhere, but not my face. ¡°Yes.¡± She nodded nervously. ¡°Then, kiss me!¡± * * TBC Xavier can¡¯t take it anymore Help me ask him if Dney even know the meaning of kiss Chapter 37 Dney¡¯s pov ¡°What did you say?¡± I asked and stared awkwardly at him.

You seriously don¡¯t know the meaning of kiss or how to kiss?¡± He shrieked disbelievingly and pushed me away from his body. I almost lost my bnce and fell, but he was quick to hold my arm. When I stood up straight, he let go of my arm. ¡°No. I seriously don¡¯t know. What is a kiss?¡± I asked, looking like lost sheep. ¡°Where on Earth are you from? At this age you don¡¯t know what a kiss is?¡± He asked and touched his forehead. ¡°I haven¡¯t heard that word before. What exactly is it?¡± I asked, utterly so confused. He suddenly looked pissed and I don¡¯t know why. ¡°You¡¯re unbelievable!¡± He scoffed and paced around the room, like he¡¯s thinking. Is kiss something I should know and I don¡¯t know? ¡°Is kiss something I should know?¡± I asked and stared intently at him. ¡°Just forget about it. You¡¯re just too dumb.¡± He scoffed. ¡°Just forget we had this conversation okay?¡± He huffed and rolled his eyes. He pushed me¨Cto make me leave, but I stiffened my body. He noticed it and stopped pushing me. ¡°You can leave now okay?¡± I groaned. ¡°But what about my assignment?¡± I pouted and licked my lips. He suddenly looked lost as he stared at my lips. As if being hit, he jolted back and ruffled his hair. ¡°Argh Dney! You¡¯re driving me crazy!¡± He groaned angrily. ¡°I¡¯ll leave but tell me what a kiss is.¡± I insisted. ¡°Just forget I asked you that okay? You don¡¯t know and I can¡¯t tell you.¡± He huffed. ¡°But Xavier¡­¡± I was trying to say but his hard re made me swallow back my words. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave now. But I¡¯ll be back before night time.¡± I winked and scurried out of his room. I heard him grunt as I closed the door. * * ¡®so Laney, did he agree to help you?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom asked, with a huge smile on her face. ¡°No.¡± I pouted sadly.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Why?¡± She asked as her countenance fell. ¡°He did say he¡±d help me, only if I kiss him.¡± I whispered softly¨C I don¡¯t even know why I whispered. ¡°What?¡± She gasped out¨C looking so shocked. ¡°Xavier told you that?¡± She asked with a huge smile on her face. ¡°Yeah, he did.¡± I said and bit my lip. ¡°And did you do it?¡± She asked and stared intently at me. She seemed like she wanted a positive answer but too bad, it¡¯s a negative answer I¡¯m gonna tell her. I shook my head negatively, ¡°no, I didn¡¯t. I don¡¯t even know what a kiss is.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t?¡± She asked, her eyes almost popping out from it¡¯s socket. ¡°No.¡± ¡°But what exactly is a kiss and how do I do it?¡± I added. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter dear. When the time is right, I¡¯ll tell you. But for now, you don¡¯t have to worry about the meaning.¡± She smiled and stroked my hair tenderly. ¡°Okay ma¡±am¡­ I mean, mom.¡± I gave her a faux smile. * * Xavier¡¯s mom pov Oh my! Xavier asked Laney to kiss him? My son is definitely falling for her. And that is just exactly what I want. For them to be together. I need a n to bring them more closer together¨C what would make them to be together. Laney is so pure and innocent and never for once did I regret helping her and bringing her into my house. I¡¯m sure she¡¯s gonna help me and at the same time, help Xavier. I really want my son to stop flirting around and settle down with a decent girl. Now, I think I have a n! * * ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat this! It doesn¡¯t look good to eat.¡± Laney pouted childishly and pushed the te of sd in front of her. ¡°Laney dear, it¡¯s good. Try it out.¡± I smiled lightly at her. She shook her head negatively and bit her lower lip. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it. I¡¯ll just have only tea and bread.¡± She insisted, with her face scrunched up as she stared at the sd in disgust. ¡®seriously? You don¡¯t want to eat it? Stop being choosy.¡± Xavier grumbled and rolled his eyes. ¡°Okay. It¡¯s dinner and you can¡¯t have bread and tea. That¡¯s for breakfast. But don¡¯t worry, go to the kitchen and have one of the maids serve you spaghetti.¡± I smiled lightly at her and touched her hair. ¡°Mom? You¡¯re seriously pampering this strange girl!¡± Xavier groaned. Eish! This rude son of mine. ¡°Just the way I pampered you.¡± I winked at him. ¡°I¡¯m your son mom and she¡¯s just a stranger you had pitied on and brought in.¡± He scoffed and ced some sds in his mouth and chewed slowly. ¡°Don¡¯t mind him Dney, just go to the kitchen and ask one of the maids to microwave the remaining spaghetti. I¡¯m sure, you¡¯ll love it.¡± I smiled at Dney, whose head was bowed. ¡°Okay mom, thank you.¡± She smiled appreciatively and stood up. ¡°I never knew you gave birth to another child apart from me.¡± Xavier muttered but I heard him clearly. I chuckled softly and used the back of my spoon to hut him lightly on his hand. ¡°I heard that.¡± Iughed. ¡°Ouch mom!¡± He winced yfully. We continued eating but suddenly, we heard shattering of te and a loud, fearful and deafening scream from the kitchen. I panicked and dropped my cutleries. ¡®snakes! Worms!¡± Dney cried out. * * TBC Dney would not kill somebody Where did she see snake and worm? Chapter 38 Dney¡¯s pov Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at the snakes but what looks like worms too. My heart had already jumped into my mouth because of the fear I had. Xavier and his mom came running into the kitchen breathlessly. Xavier¡¯s mom took her gaze from me to stare at the broken te and the worms the maid had given me as the so-called spaghetti. ¡°Laney, what is it? Why did you scream out so loud?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom panicked. ¡°Worms! I hate worms and I¡¯m scared of them. But the maid gave me to eat them!¡± I cried out, shivering in fear. My whole body was trembling in fear and my heart beat wasn¡¯t helping matters¨C it was beating faster than normal. ¡°Worms! These are not worms!¡± Xavier cried. ¡°Oh Laney, you made me panic for nothing!¡± Xavier¡¯s mom groaned. She had looked so scared but after I had exined briefly to her about the maid serving me, works, she became calm. ¡°Mom, you need to take this girl back to wherever she came from. Can you imagine? We almost had heart attack because of her. Who calls spaghetti worms? Probably girls from the bush!¡± Xaviershed out angrily. I suddenly felt so bad and stared guiltily at my feet. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I haven¡¯t seen or eaten a meal like this before. I thought they were worms. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± I whimpered tearfully and stared at my feet¨C afraid to meet their gazes. Tears streamed down my face, I felt really bad. I didn¡¯t mean to frighten them or make them mad at me. Now, Xavier is vexed at me. And his mom, I don¡¯t even know how she feels. ¡°You are just too dumb! You are just too annoying for my liking!¡± Xavier yelled and stomped out of the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I hupped and wiped my tears which won¡¯t stop pouring out. ¡°Come here Laney, it¡¯s okay.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom finally spoke up. I walked into her opened arms and hugged her tightly and hupped. ¡°It¡¯s fine dear. Now, stop crying.¡± She consoled and soothed my back. I wiped my tears and breathe in and out. * * I didn¡¯t bother to eat dinner because I already lost my appetite. I went to bed early. Xavier didn¡¯t say anything to me, but I wasn¡¯t feeling bad because it wasn¡¯t my fault. He should understand that it wasn¡¯t entirely my fault. He should know I was just being ignorant of the fact that the food given to me wasn¡¯t worms. * * The next day, I got ready for school with the help of one of the maids. I wore my uniform and brushed my hair down my shoulders. I wore my socks and shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror and when I was sure I was good to go, I walked happily out of my room. I got to the dinning room and Xavier and his mom were already seated. ¡°I was just about sending for you.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom smiled as I got to where they sat. ¡°Good morning.¡± I smiled shyly and sat on the dinning chair. ¡°Morning dear.¡± She responded and stroked my hair affectionately. ¡°Morning Xavier.¡± I greeted shyly. He nced at me and rolled his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t mind him. He woke up from the wrong side of the bed.¡± His mom whispered. I giggled lightly and bent my head. The maids served the dishes and I was more than d because it was what I was already used to. Hot chocte tea and toasted bread with egg sauce. ¡°Good morning family!¡± We turned and saw Chelsea smiling as she walked up to meet us. Her face dropped as soon as her eyes caught with mine. She suddenly looked angry and her re on me made me shiver. What¡¯s up with her? Did I do something wrong? ¡°Morning Chels.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom smiled. Chelsea took her gaze away from it and reced her angry countenance to a smiling one. Chelsea hugged her briefly and sat on a chair beside Xavier. ¡°Good morning.¡± She greeted him and ced her lips on his cheeks. ¡°Yeah, morning.¡± He groaned. ¡°What is it Xavier? You look gloomy this morning.¡± Chelsea observed and touched his face worriedly. ¡°I¡¯m fine Chels.¡± He said and removed her hand from his face. ¡°Oh!¡± She said¨C and I could tell she felt embarrassed because her countenance dropped in disappointment. Shortly after, we started eating. * * Chelsea¡¯s pov Gosh! I felt like ripping off that girl¡¯s hair. Seeing her in the dinning room only made me angry. I thought she wouldn¡¯t be there and on a second thought, I didn¡¯t even think she¡±d still be in Xavier¡¯s mansion. I had almost forgotten that she still existed in the mansion. I red at her as she ate. Everything about her disgust and annoys me. And with the look on Xavier¡¯s face, my psyche tells me that she¡¯s the reason of his dull look. Sooner orter, I¡±d definitely get rid of her. * * We alighted from the car¨C Xavier, Dney and I. As usual, the students stared at Xavier and I as we held hands together and walk into the schoolpound. Some students took photos of us and that got me smiling more. I pressed closer to Xavier and shed the students my charming smiles. * * Dney¡¯s pov ¡°Hey you!¡± I heard a tiny voice behind me. I stopped walking and turned around to see three beautiful girls. They looked really pretty with their skimpy uniforms. They were of the same height but I could tell they weren¡¯t sisters. ¡°Me?¡± I asked and poked my chest. ¡°Yes!¡± One of them snapped as they approached me. I stood and folded my arms. ¡°You are Dney right?¡± One of them asked, this time, they were already close to me. ¡°Ye¡­ah.¡± I stuttered, feeling intimidated by their looks. ¡°You¡¯re one pretty girl you know?¡± Another said. ¡°Yeah, thanks.¡± I shrugged. ¡°A little introduction would do. I¡¯m Brielle.¡± The first girl who had spoken, introduced with a smile I knew wasn¡¯t genuine. ¡°I¡¯m Brianna.¡± Another said with a smirk. ¡°And I¡¯m ir.¡± Thest girl smiled. ¡°And we are the B3 girls.¡± They chorused. I stared at them with a in expression. I still don¡¯t know why they stopped me. ¡°Okay, nice. But what exactly do you girls want?¡± I asked the question I wanted to ask before they introduced themselves like they are some kind of princesses. ¡°Oh! That¡¯s a nice question Dney.¡± The first girl, who I had quite gotten her name said. ¡®so, I like you and you¡¯re pretty. And so, I¡¯m inviting you for my birthday party at my parents mansion.¡± She added pridefully and touched the tip of my hair. ¡°Huh?¡± I blinked my eyes rapidly. ¡°My birthday is this weekend and I¡¯m inviting you as a special guest.¡± She smiled and withdrew her hand from my hair. ¡°You¡¯ve got a really long hair.¡± She added. ¡°But I¡­¡± I trailed off as she ced her finger on my lips. ¡°Please don¡¯t say no Dney, I really like you and I want you to be there.¡± She pouted and removed her finger from my lips. ¡°Okay.¡± I gave up. I don¡¯t even know them and I just agreed to attend her birthday party.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡®really? Thank you!¡± She squealed happily. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the invitation card before school would be over.¡± She squealed tedly. ¡°Okay.¡± I replied perfunctorily. ¡°I promise you Dney, you won¡¯t regret attending my party. You are gonna love it.¡± She winked at me and with the other two girls behind her, she walked gracefully away. * * TBC Who else thinks that the girls are up to something? Chapter 39 Dney¡¯s pov I sighed and continued walking towards my direction. I got to the library and walked in. Thanks to Xavier, I know my way to to some important ces in the school. I walked towards the shelf and took a book. I got a seat and sat on it. The students were all minding their business and the library was quiet as students focused on their books. * * Alicia¡¯s pov I rested my jaw on my palm and stared dreamily at Xavier. A teacher was in the ss but my mind wasn¡¯t there. I was just focused, staring at him. Why does he have to be this handsome huh? ¡°Miss Alicia?¡± I jolted back to reality and sat up properly. ¡°Huh?¡± I answered and wiped a drool from the corner of my lips. I brushed my hair with my fingers and focused on the teacher. ¡°I asked you a question.¡± Mrs Theresa, the arithmetic teacher said and stared intently at me. I gulped down nothing and itched my hair. The whole ss were staring at me and gosh, I was damn so nervous. I zoned outpletely that I didn¡¯t even hear the question. ¡°Ermm ma¡±am, please recap your question.¡± I faked a small smile. ¡°There¡¯s a question on yourptop and I want you to solve it and tell me the answer.¡± She said sternly. ¡°Okay ma¡±am.¡± I forced a smile. I stared at the equation and thank goodness, it wasn¡¯t new to me. I type the solutions and within few seconds, I got my answer. I looked up at Mrs Theresa who was waiting patiently for me to produce the answer and the students staring at me. ¡°The answer is 5 ma¡±am.¡± I answered. She ran her eyes all over my body and her lip suddenly stretched out in a smile. ¡°That¡¯s impressive Alicia. You¡¯re correct.¡± She smiled and I felt my stomach do some happy dance. ¡°Thank you ma¡±am.¡± She walked back to stand in front of the ssroom and my gaze suddenly met with Xavier¡¯s. And I could swear that he smiled at me, but as soon as I saw him, he turned away. Oh my! Xavier smiled at me. Was he impressed with me? Of course dumb head! I mentally smacked my head. I squealed tedly in my psyche and look away shyly. * * Xavier¡¯s pov School was great and Dney had lunch with Rio. I didn¡¯t like it but I let them be. Chelsea seemed to be happy that Dney didn¡¯t eat lunch with us. We chatted lightly but sincerely, I wasn¡¯t even interested in whatever she was saying but I just had flow with the conversation. * * Chelsea didn¡¯t follow us home and I was more than d. She¡¯s too clingy but because she¡¯s been my friend for a long time, I don¡¯t want to push her away. The ride home was awkwardly quiet and the silence was ufortable. Dney was just staring outside the car window while I just typed away on my phone. ¡°Xavier?¡± I heard Dney¡¯s tiny voice. I turned and stared at her. ¡°Huh?¡± I asked and dropped my phone on the car seat. She was fondling with her fingers nervously and she couldn¡¯t meet my gaze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She breathed out and finally looked at me. ¡°For what exactly?¡± I huffed. ¡°I don¡¯t even know. But yesterday, you were mad at me because I had screamed of snakes and worms, but it was just a meal¨C spaghetti. You were so vexed and you said mean words to me. I¡¯m sorry.¡± She exined and sighed. ¡°Okay.¡± I replied perfunctorily. ¡°Just okay?¡± She asked and bit her lower lip. Damn it! She looked so cute and innocent. ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± I asked. ¡°Are you still angry with me?¡± She pouted and tucked in her hair behind her ear. ¡°I¡¯m not. Just forget about it.¡± I shrugged. ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± She smiled. * * We got home and walked into the house together. We got into the house and met mom seated and reading a magazine¨C she looked so engrossed reading, with her sses on. ¡°Good evening mom.¡± I greeted and kissed her cheeks. ¡°Oh! Evening son.¡± She smiled and dropped the magazine on the ss table. She stood on her feet and pecked my both cheeks respectively. ¡°Good evening mom.¡± Dney smiled shyly. Mom embraced her and kissed her hair. ¡°Evening dear.¡± Mom smiled and pulled her cheeks yfully. Geez! I think I¡¯m getting jealous already because of their closeness. They look just like mother and daughter. ¡°I know that look son, don¡¯t be jealous. You¡¯ve enjoyed motherly care ever since you were young.¡± Momughed. Oh mom! She reads me so well! ¡°And don¡¯t worry Xavier, I won¡¯t steal your mom from you.¡± Dney smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and started for the stairs. ¡°Please mom, my usual.¡± I called out as I climbed the stairs. ¡®sure thing son, I¡±d have one of the maids bring it to your room.¡± Mom called out back. * * ¡°I have an announcement to make!¡± Mom said aloud and darted her eyes from Dney to me. We were both sitting in the sitting room because mom called us and said she wanted to talk to us. ¡°Okay, what is it mom? I have a project work to start working on.¡± I rolled my eyes. ¡°Okay son, this is specifically for you.¡± Mom started, with a smile but she looked serious. ¡°Me? What have I done?¡± I asked and poked my chest. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything wrong son.¡± Mom smiled. ¡°And please, no interruption till I¡¯m done talking.¡± She added sternly. I swallowed my question and stared intently at her. ¡°From today onwards Xavier, you¡±d be tutoring Dney. She needs to know more things because she¡¯s too na?ve. You tutoring doesn¡¯t have to be only about your studies but also going out to ces, maybe to have fun.¡± Mom said, grinning widely. ¡°What? Why mom?¡± I scoffed. ¡°That¡¯s because she needs to be more enlightened.¡± Mom replied. ¡°But why me mom? You can just hire a private tutor for her.¡± I grumbled. ¡°Please Xavier, I just want you to help her. It doesn¡¯t have to be everyday. You can just write a time table for days you¡±d tutor her. Please Xavier, I¡¯m really counting on you.¡± Mom pouted childishly that I was almost forced tough¨C she looked like a kid who was deprived of lollipop. Mom can be so dramatic sometimes. ¡°What¡¯s gonna be my reward mom?¡± I asked. ¡°Hmm, that would be¡­ Yes! I¡±d give you my breast milk.¡± Momughed. Dney bursted into an hystericalughter, clutching her stomach tightly. I was supposed to be angry but I joined in theughter. ¡°Mom, that¡¯s not fair.¡± I pouted. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding son. I¡±d definitely get you something but it¡¯s gonna be a surprise. Just make sure Dney is well tutored.¡± Mom said and smiled. ¡°Alright mom. I agree.¡± I grumbled atst. ¡°Yay! Thank you son!¡± Mom squealed happily and hugged me. Dney giggled and winked at me. * * Dney¡¯s pov I stirred awake and rolled out of the bed. I rubbed my eyes and yawned lightly. I got out of my room and went downstairs. I got to the sitting room and the house looked rather quiet. I got to the kitchen, and after drinking water, I went to the sitting room. ¡°Hey, excuse me!¡± I called out to one of the maids. ¡°Please where¡¯s Xavier and his mom?¡± I asked¨C we were standing close to each other. ¡°Oh! Ma¡±am Jenny stepped out for a while and master Xavier left few minutes ago. He was with his friend, I think Rio. He didn¡¯t say where he was going.¡± She said. I nodded my head and mouthed an *o*. * * Gosh! The house was so quiet and I was bored. Nobody to even talk with.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. The day was still bright even if it was evening time. I tried watching the TV but I didn¡¯t even understand what they were showing, it looked uninteresting and I got bored from watching it. I didn¡¯t see Xavier in the TV and a part of me wanted to see him badly. I got outside the house and the cool breeze swept my hair and made it fly to different directions. I smiled and after looking around carefully and making sure no one was in sight, I opened the gate and walked out. I¡±d just look around and get back home before any of them would notice I¡¯m not around. That thought, I started walking. * * I don¡¯t know for how long I¡¯ve walked and I don¡¯t even know when I got to this part of the environment but I knew I wasn¡¯t within the house again. I was so fascinated by the beautiful things I saw along the way and I didn¡¯t know when I left the house environs. I panicked because I already lost my way. I turned back and started finding my way back. On my way back, something caught my attention. I looked properly and saw Xavier in something like a big paper hung up. The ce it was hung was tall. And then, I remembered the conversation I had with Xavier¡¯s mom about the picture of Xavier I had seen. She was actually the one who told me it was a picture and she said it¡¯s supposed to be within the house. But looking at this huge picture, I knew it was stolen. Oh no! I moved closer to it and not minding the people around, I started climbing up to remove the big picture. ¡°Xavier!¡± I cried as I continued to climb up. The people who were walking already stopped to look at me. They were looking andughing at me like I¡¯ve gone insane but I cared less. Who knows if he¡¯s in trouble? I need to save him! I sessfully got up and started touching his face. Looking closely at it, it doesn¡¯t look like a picture. Okay, how the hell did he get up there? ¡°Xavier who hang you up here? Why are you here?¡± I asked, still on what I climbed up on. He didn¡¯t answer me but continued to stare at me. ¡°Oh Xavier! Please answer me! Why are you here? Were you stolen and kept here?¡± I screamed out. * * TBC Holy Mary!!! Dney would not kill somebody. Bill board!! Chapter 40 Xavier¡¯s pov I kept my phone back in my pocket because of the noise I heard, ahead of me. I strained my neck to look at what exactly is going on. My eyes snapped widely opened as I saw a girl that looks exactly just like Dney. ¡®stop the car!¡± I ordered hurriedly. My chaffeur stopped the car and without waiting for him to open my car door, I hurriedly alighted. I ran to the scene and to my utmost surprise and shock, I saw Dney up at a bill board where my picture was hung. I actually modelled for a particr brand and the brand has been moving quite great. And now, Dney is up there? Doing what exactly? Oh God! Where on Earth is this girl from? Why¡¯s she always causingmotions? I panicked as I still stared at her, not knowing exactly what to do. She hasn¡¯t noticed my presence yet. The gathering was too much and some persons wereughing, taking pictures and videoing the scene. She looked totally crazy and stupid. And she was just wearing a short and a shirt. Her hair wasn¡¯t even packed and it flew around in different directions. God! Where did mom get such a girl from? ¡°Xavier?¡± She suddenly called as our gazes finally met. Other persons who were in the scene turned and they started taking pictures of me. Argh! Some of the teenagers were squealing happily and trying to get closer to me but my chaffeur was already trying to control them. ¡°Can you please find a way for that girl toe down from that ce?¡± I groaned silently to my chaffeur. ¡°Okay sir.¡± He answered and walked towards Dney. I shrugged and started towards my car ignoring the squealing teenagers. If I was in a good mood, I¡±d have volunteered to take pictures with them, one after the other but today, I¡¯m in no good mood. In fact, I feel embarrassed, so damn embarrassed. Few minutester, my chaffeur came with Dney who had a guilty countenance on. I hissed loudly and rolled my eyes. ¡°Get into the car!¡± I snapped angrily, as she continued to stand beside the car door. She was acting all innocent. She jolted and hurriedly got into the car. I was so vexed that I felt like hitting something. ¡°Xavier?¡± She called softly and turned to face me. I red daggers at her and she had no choice than to mp her mouth shut and swallow whatever words she was gonna say. ¡°Don¡¯t open your mouth to utter any word till we get home!¡± I ordered sternly. She nodded her head and bit her lower lip. She fondled childishly with the hem of her shirt. Damn! I won¡¯t lie, she looked so cute and adorable. But I¡¯m still mad at her and I¡¯m definitely gonna unleash my anger on her when we get home. * * ¡°Dney!¡± Mom squealed and ran to hug Dney. I rolled my eyes and watched them reunite like a mother weing her lost daughter. Obviously, she was lost! ¡°Where did you go? I asked the maids about you and they said they had no idea about your whereabouts and they didn¡¯t see you leave with Xavier earlier. I was so worried about you Laney.¡± Mom rushed her words and at the same time, touched all part of her body, probably looking for an injury or something. ¡°I suddenly became invisible to my own mother.¡± I rolled my eyes and watched them keenly. ¡°Oh son! I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mom apologized and kissed my cheeks. ¡°You know, Laney doesn¡¯t know anywhere around and I was scared she might have gone missing.¡± Mom exined. ¡°Mom, she has exnations to give. She¡¯s really getting out of hand mom and I¡¯m afraid that she might cause us trouble one day.¡± I sighed and red at Dney. ¡°What did she do son?¡± Mom asked. ¡°You can go ahead and ask your beloved daughter. She¡±d definitely have a better exnation to tell.¡± I told her while Dney bent her head guiltily. ¡°But let me just brief you. Your daughter climbed up in a bill board and she was trying to bring it down because it had my picture on it. You can imagine the embarrassment!¡± I groaned and started for the stairs. ¡°What?¡± Mom asked. ¡°You can get the full details from her.¡± I called out and hurriedly climbed the stairs. Eish! That girl annoys me so much. I haven¡¯t fully gotten over the spaghetti episode and now another? * * Dney¡¯s pov ¡°You did what Dney?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom yelled disbelievingly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I bit my lips, feeling so guilty. ¡°Why would you even leave the house in the first ce?¡± She asked and ced her hands on her waist. ¡°I was bored and I thought there was no harm in going out. I didn¡¯t think I¡¯ll lost my way around.¡± I pouted. ¡®really? Then why did you climb up the bill board and tried removing Xavier¡¯s picture?¡± She asked and stared intently at me. ¡°I thought he was stolen. I never had the idea that it was just a bill board and it¡¯s supposed to be there.¡± I sighed lowly. ¡°Oh my Dney! When will you learn?¡± She asked. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I pouted childishly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just hope that with time you¡¯ll learn.¡± She smiled lightly and hugged me. I hugged her back by wrapping my arms around her. I¡¯m d she isn¡¯t mad at me. * * Dney¡¯s pov Xavier forgave me and told me he wasn¡¯t mad at me again. At school, I¡¯ve improved a bit because even Xavier said so. Brielle¨C I finally got her name and whom I think is the leader of the B3 girls, gave me her birthday card. My intention was to throw the card away and not attend the birthday party. But surprisingly, Xavier told me he was invited to the same party and his mom told me to go with him because she didn¡¯t want to risk leaving me alone at home. Xavier grumbled but he eventually agreed. I wanted to decline but Xavier¡¯s mom pleading eyes made me keep shut. She really wants me to attend the party with Xavier. * * The D-day finally came for the party but unfortunately, Xavier¡¯s mum wasn¡¯t at home at the moment. ¡°Dney! Dney!¡± I heard Xavier call as I walked out of the kitchen where I¡±d gone to take some milk. ¡°Yes?¡± I replied when we came face to face with each other and his eyes dimmed. ¡°What the¡­. you still aren¡¯t dressed up???¡± He eximed and I bit my nails. ¡°Well¡­I¡¯m sorry, but¡­.¡± ¡°Gosh! You know what? You¡¯ll just have to catch up with me, okay? I¡¯m in a hurry and need to branch somewhere before the party and I¡¯m running prettyte already. So, when you¡¯re done, you go to the party and we¡¯ll meet up there¡± he said hurriedly. Whaaaat?? ¡°B¡­But, I don¡¯t know the way to the¡­.¡± ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t worry about that. As soon as you¡¯re done dressing, go out to the car, you¡¯ll find a driver beside it. Just get in and he¡¯ll take you to the party. He knows the road, okay?¡± He said with an eye roll and before I could make anotherint, he rushed out. Oh boy! I can¡¯t believe he left without me. Geez! I sighed and returned to my room so I could get dressed. First, I took a shower and when I was done, I became confused if what to wear. There were so many clothes staring at me but I didn¡¯t know which to chose. Xavier,¡¯s mum had always been the one dressing me up. Well, I guess I¡±d have to learn now. I started rifling through the numerous clothes, checking them bit by bit. I saw a blue pair of trousers ¨C yeah. Xavier¡¯s mum calls them trousers. I wore it on and continued searching. I found a skirt and admired it. Hm. Beautiful. I smiled and wore it on the trouser. Now¡­my chest. First, I wore a ¡°bra¡± as Xavier¡¯s mum had called and taught me how to wear it. After fixing it on my b**bs, I looked for a shirt and picked something that looked like cardigan ¨C just like Xavier¡¯s mum had described it. I wore it on and woah!!! It was quite big on me. Hm. But nice. I took the new hat Xavier¡¯s mum had bought for me and wore it on my head. Perfect!! Then, I rounded it up with a pair of canvas on my legs. Oh my geeeee! I did it!! I dressed myself up!!! I rushed to the mirror and giggled at my pretty image. I was so proud of myself. And without wasting any more time, I left the room. I walked out to where Xavier said the car will be waiting and there I found it with a man beside it. ¡°Are you the driver?¡± I asked, wondering why he was staring at me ¨C strangely. ¡°Uh¡­yes ma¡±am. I¡­I¡­I am¡± he stuttered, roaming his eyes around me. Hmph. What¡¯s wrong with him? ¡°Okay. You know where to take me right?¡± I asked. ¡°To¡­to¡­to the party?¡± He stuttered again. ¡°Exactly!!¡± I eximed and made to open the door of the car. ¡°Hold on ma¡±am¡± he called back my attention.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Y¡­you¡¯re going to the party like this?¡± ¡°Well, of course. Is there something wrong?¡± I asked and looked at myself from chest to toe. He didn¡¯t reply. Hm. He¡¯s probably jealous. ¡°I don¡¯t have much time, okay? Let¡¯s go¡± I said and finally walked into the car and he also got in and zoomed off. * * TBC. Ah There is war oo. See dressing I wonder what will happen at the party now. Chapter 41 Dney¡¯s pov As the driver drove along the road, I noticed that he¡±d steal nces at me and chuckle. Okay, what the hell is wrong with this driver? ¡°Driver, why are you stealing nces at me and making funny sounds. Is there something on my face?¡± I asked, feeling quite ufortable with his behaviour. ¡°No, no, ma¡±am.¡± He chuckled softly. I rolled my eyes and focused on watching other moving cars. * * ¡°Are we here already?¡± I asked the driver as I noticed him drive into a big house, just like Xavier¡¯s but Xavier¡¯s is bigger and finer. ¡°Yes ma¡±am. This is the ce.¡± The driver replied. He finally stopped where other cars stopped too. Before I could alight, he already alighted and opened the door for me. I smiled lightly at him and alighted gracefully. ¡®so, am I supposed to stand here or what?¡± I asked, as I surveyed the house. Wow! Absolute breathtaking! ¡°No ma¡±am. You¡¯ll just have to go inside, where the party is being hosted.¡± The driver replied. ¡°Oh! Okay.¡± I mouthed, suddenly feeling nervous. The driver and I started walking towards the entrance of the house. We hadn¡¯t even stepped in when Brielle bumped into us. ¡°Oh my! I¡¯m sorry.¡± I apologized as Brielle got back her stamina. Her eyes suddenly snapped opened in shock as her eyes travelled around my body. Then, she surprised me by bursting into an hystericalughter. I looked at my chest down to my toes and I didn¡¯t see anything that¡¯s making herugh like an insane person. What¡¯s funny? ¡°Hey, why are youughing?¡± I asked, feeling a little pissed. ¡°Oh, so sorry. Forgive my¡­ Manners.¡± She chuckled¨C a mocking one. ¡®really?¡± I scoffed sarcastically. ¡°What is wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± I asked and I was almost forced to hiss angrily at her. ¡°Why are you dressed like this?¡± She asked, with a glint of sarcasm in her voice. First it was the driver and now, Brielle? ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my dressing? If you don¡¯t want me here, I will kindly leave.¡± I rolled my eyes and ced my hand on my waist. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Dney. There¡¯s absolutely nothing wrong with your dressing. In fact, you look stunning and I¡¯m sure you¡¯re gonna be the center of attraction in this party because of your beauty.¡± She smiled¨C but I could still tell that she wasn¡¯t being sincere. She still had a glint of mockery in her voice. But I decided to ignore her and ept thepliment. ¡°Thank you. I was starting to feel that I didn¡¯t dress well or something was on my face that I didn¡¯t know about.¡± I sighed and rolled my eyes. ¡°I was just teasing you. There¡¯s nothing wrong in whatever you wore.¡± She smiled and ced her hand around my shoulders. ¡°You can leave now. I¡¯ll just wait for Xavier and we¡¯ll go home together.¡± I told the driver, who was standing and listening to us, all this time. ¡°Okay ma¡±am.¡± He bowed and left. ¡°Let¡¯s go in then.¡± Brielle smiled and we both started towards the door. ¡°By the way, nice hat and canvas you got.¡± She smiled but she sounded sarcastic. Just briefly that I¡¯ve got to know her, I¡¯vee to know that she isn¡¯t genuine. Everything about her seems fake. I forced a tight lip smile at her and nodded my head. We finally got inside the bug house and I was really awed by the beauty of it. The lights were dim and of different colours. Loud music was ying in the background and different bodies were in the middle and every corner of the sitting room. Most of the persons I guess, were my grade mates even though, I don¡¯t really know most of them or even talked to them. ¡®so, wee to my birthday party Dney.¡± She giggled and removed her hand from my shoulder. I didn¡¯t reply her as my eyes roamed around the people. I was searching for just one person and I couldn¡¯t wait to set my eyes on him; Xavier. I still couldn¡¯t find him amongst the people and I wondered if he wasn¡¯t here yet. ¡°C¡¯mon, let me introduce you to my friends.¡± Brielle beckoned on me. I breathed in and out and trailed behind her. I noticed people looking weirdly at me, like I¡¯m sort of weirdo or something. There are attentions were suddenly focused on me and some of them starting giggling while othersughed out loud. I suddenly felt embarrassed and at the same time, pissed. What exactly was making themugh at me? Don¡¯t I look pretty enough? I¡¯m sure there is nothing smeared on my face because, I had double checked my appearance before leaving. So, why exactly are theyughing at me? * * ¡®so, Dney, this is Jessica and she¡¯s my cousin and she¡¯s based in France but she came down here because of my birthday.¡± Brielle introduced pridefully with a smile. I stared at the red hair girl who looks like an ostrich. She wore a pair of sses on and at just mere looking at her, I disliked her. She was trying hard not tough as she eyed my dressing. She whispered something I didn¡¯t hear to Brielle and they both giggled. ¡°It¡¯s nice meeting you Dney, I¡¯ve heard so much about you.¡± Sheughed lightly and stretched out her hand for an handshake. ¡°Yeah.¡± And then, it urred to me that she knows my name. What the hell! How did she¡­? ¡°How did you know my name?¡± I asked and stared intently at her. ¡°Oh! I¡¯ve heard so much about you from Brielle.¡± Sheughed nervously and took a quick nce at Brielle. ¡®so much about me? But Brielle and I haven¡¯t talked very well. We just met briefly and she invited me for her birthday party. So, howe she¡¯s told you so much about me?¡± I inquired, baffled. ¡°Oh c¡¯mon Dney! You ask too many questions.¡± Brielle said and smiled. She looked at Jessica and Jessica nodded her head and walked away. Why do I smell something fishy? ¡°Let¡¯s go Dney, there are other persons I¡¯ll like you to meet.¡± She smiled and pulled me along with her. * * Brielle left me to go attend to other guests and I was left alone. I kept looking around to see if I¡¯ll see Xavier but I still didn¡¯t see him. What¡¯s wrong? Isn¡¯t heing to the party? A man in a very decent dressing pass by with about three ss cups with water in it. My throat was dried and I beckoned on him. I took two ss cups from the small tray he was holding. He looked at me weirdly and he was about saying something but he kept shut. I ignored him and gulped it down in one goal. Oh my! It burned my throat and I had to gasped. It didn¡¯t taste like water but it tasted sweet. I licked my lips in relish and gulped down the second ss of the strange water. Oh my! It tasted so sweet.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. I suddenly craved for more. Another guy dressed as the first guy came passing by too, with about four ss in his tray. I beckoned on him and he offered me one of the sses. ¡°I want everything.¡± I smacked my lips tentatively. ¡°Huh?¡± He asked, popping out his blue eyes like I¡¯ve grown some strange wings. ¡°I want the four sses. It really tasted sweet.¡± Iughed crazily. ¡°You¡¯re sure ma¡±am?¡± He asked and stared from the water to me. ¡°Yeah. Give to me. It¡¯s really so sweet.¡± I pouted. When he saw there wasn¡¯t any need arguing with me and we were about causing a scene, he gave me the tray, shook his head and left. I pped happily and chung down the first ss and then the second, third and the fourth. My head was already heavy and I felt woozy. I wasn¡¯t aware of my surroundings any longer. * * Xavier¡¯s pov I walked into Brielle¡¯s mansion and sighed. I¡¯ve been caught up in traffic and that was why I waste. Rio and Chelsea were beside me as we stepped into the house. I noticed a gathering in a particr spot and I knew something was going on. I walked hastily towards the gathering and to my greatest surprise, I saw Dney. What? She was on top of the table where a huge cake, I guess is for Brielle was kept. She was dancing crazily even without any music. Brielle tried to make here down but unexpectedly, Dney pulled her canvas and threw it Brielle¨C making it hit her hard on her forehead. Brielle winced and backed away. Dney was saying gibberish and she looked waisted¨C obviously drunk. She pulled her other canvas and threw at a bartender but he was quick to dodge it. Sheughed crazily and danced crazily on the table. Brielle went towards the table with a bartender at the front. The bartender tried carrying the cake away so it won¡¯t fall but Dney shook the table which made him move back. I scratched my hair and thought of what to do to make here down before she¡¯ll fall the cake. Brielle stylishly went towards her and before she could carry the cake, Dney puked on it. Eww, gross! The people gathered all gasped loudly as they stared at the already ruined cake. ¡°What the fuck! Come down!¡± Brielle cried out. A guard was able to hold Dney. And as they were about bringing her down, she tilted her head,ughed and puked all over Brielle, from her hair down to her shirt! What? * * TBC Chai! Party scatter Good for Brielle Let¡¯s see if anything Brielle nned for Dney would still be carried out Chapter 42 Xavier¡¯s pov Oh my! Gross! ¡°This is grosss!¡± Brielle cried out as she stared at her stained dress of Dney vomit. Dneyughed crazily and stuck out her tongue mockingly at Brielle. The guard brought her down and immediately, she passed out. Who the hell gave her what she drank? Why would she think of drinking so much if she can¡¯t possibly hold her liquor. Geez, this girl is unbelievable. Brielle groaned angrily and stomped out of the scene. I trailed behind the bodyguard and I told him to take her to one of the spare rooms in the mansion. I don¡¯t want to take her home because I wasn¡¯t ready to go home and I don¡¯t want anything bad to happen to her if she¡¯s alone. So, it¡¯s better she¡¯s in this mansion and when I¡¯m done having fun to the fullest, we¡¯ll both go home. She thinks she¡¯s gonna ruin or cut short my fun in this party, then, she¡¯s absolutely wrong. The bodyguard carried her into a room and when he¡±d finallyid her on the bed, I took one quick nce at her. But then, my eyes caught with her outfit. Oh my gee! I bursted into a loudughter while the bodyguard joined me as we stared at the sleeping Dney. I clutched my stomach tight as Iughed hard. I don¡¯t even know thest time Iughed so hard like this. She¡¯s one hell of a girl. Seriously. A skirt under a jean trouser? A sweatshirt and a canvas and a hat? Oh my! What kind ofbination of clothes are these? Who in her right senses dress like this in this twenty-first century? Obviously a crazy girl called Dney. Dney won¡¯t stop surprising me with her character. I can¡¯t believe she actually left the house dressed like this and came to the party. This is really¡­ Argh! She¡¯s just too annoying! Almost every character she protays is really strange and annoying. Argh! And why does she always go about causing one ruckus or another? She¡¯s always causing a scene anywhere she goes. It¡¯s really bing excess and I think I have to put in more effort in teaching her. She really needs to learn fast and stop acting like a girl from the bush, it¡¯s really annoying. I sighed lowly and left the room. * * Brielle¡¯s pov ¡°Argh!¡± I screamed angrily and ruffled my already washed but wet hair. I was damn so furious that I felt like pulling Dney¡¯s scalp off. That b*tch! How dare she humiliate me in such a way? How dare she? I fell so irritated thinking about her vomit on my body especially my hair that I spent a lot, trying to make it look perfect. She ruined my cake too! Oh God! I feel like strangling the living day out of her. Damnit! ¡°Calm down Brielle.¡± Brianna sighed softly and ced her hand on my shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re telling me to calm down? How do you expect me to f*cking calm down after getting such humiliation?¡± I rasped angrily and red daggers at her. ¡°You just have to rx okay? Calm down!¡± ir said and stood beside me, with her hand on my shoulders too. ¡°I can¡¯t f*cking calm down! That girl humiliated me!¡± I rasped angrily. ¡°You can¡¯t entirely me her Brielle, she wasn¡¯t in her right state of mind. She was obviously drunk!¡± Brianna snapped. I turned and walked to my bed. I bent my head and I was almost in tears. The humiliation was too much¨C something I¡¯ve never experienced before. In front of so many guests and grade mates of mine. ¡°I¡¯ve had enough girls! We are still going to carry out our n and nothing¡¯s stopping us. Seems the first n didn¡¯t work and so, we are gonna go for the second one.¡± I smirked and turned to face my two friends who had smiles on their face and they were both standing beside me on my body. ¡°Yeah. I think the second n is just perfect.¡± ir grinned. ¡°Yeah. We are in this together.¡± Brianna smiled. We high-fived and giggled. Just you wait Dney, you¡¯re gonna regret ever humiliating me, that I promise you! * * Xavier¡¯s pov ¡°Aaahh! Hum! Yeah. Yes¡­ Oh my God!¡± The b*tch moaned as I drilled her tight p**sy. Her moans were like music and it only made me fasten my pace. She clutched tightly on the wall and moaned out loud. ¡°Oh yes¡­ C¡¯mon¡­ Ah, oh!¡± She continued to moan as I f*cked her without mercy. I feel my climax reaching and I fasten my pace. ¡°Oh my Xavier! I¡¯m going toe!¡± She gasped out breathlessly. I smacked her butt while she moaned out. I spilled inside of her and pulled out of her. She giggled and breathed in heavily. She was perspiring but she had a look of satisfaction on her face. ¡°That was great Xavier!¡± She smacked her lips, wearing her mini skirt on. ¡°Yeah.¡± I shrugged perfunctorily. I stared lustfully at her big boobs that stood firm and stared at me. I fondled with her boobs and sucked them hard. She moaned and ran her hands through my hair. I pushed two of my fingers into her honeypot while she winced lightly. ¡°How about another round?¡± I asked huskily. ¡°You never get tired do you?¡± She asked with a smirk. She nodded her head and bit her lip seductively. Without any warning, I pushed her against the wall and shove my hard erected d*ck inside of her already dripping honeypot. Oh boy! This is gonna be a long night. * * Dney¡¯s povContent ? N?velDrama.Org. I winced slightly as I felt a pounding headache. I groaned and tossed on the bed. I opened my eyes and scanned my surrounding and¡­ Holy crap! I wasn¡¯t in anywhere familiar. And then, I tried recalling what had happened. I remembered drinking that sweet water and feeling light headed. I was feeling different and I wasn¡¯t myself. Thest thing I remembered was me dancing on top of a table I don¡¯t even know how I got there. Gosh! What the hell happened to me? I hope I didn¡¯t cause a scene? I got down from the bed and started towards the door. I opened the door and walked out. I can¡¯t even feel my head. I heard loud musicing from downstairs and I guess I¡¯m still at Brielle¡¯s. Did I pass out? I got to the sitting room and saw just few persons dancing, others talking and all that. They weren¡¯t that few but they were not as many as when I first came in. The people in the sitting room suddenly turned towards my direction and started whispering things I couldn¡¯t hear or understand but I knew they were talking about me. They pointed at me and looked at me scornfully. What did I do? Why can¡¯t I remember if I did something bad? * ¡°Hey, you wanna swim? There¡¯s a swimming pool at the back of this mansion.¡± A brown haired girl, I don¡¯t even know walked up to me. A what? ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. What did you call it?¡± I asked, finding whatever gibberish she said, strange. ¡°A swimming pool.¡± She grinned. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I¡¯m not interested.¡± I said politely. ¡°But Xavier is there.¡± She smiled. Xavier? Speaking about him, I¡¯ve really not seen him and I do really want to see him. And without thinking twice, I blurted out, ¡°take me to him.¡± She took me to a very beautiful ce and I saw a wide ce with water inside. The day was already dark but the light shone brightly outside, making it less dark. ¡°This is the swimming pool.¡± She smiled and before I could reply her, she already ran off. Huh? I stared around and I was awestruck. But then, I didn¡¯t see Xavier. The coast was clear. Did that girl actually lie to me? I turned around to leave but a hand grabbed me forcefully by my arm. The persons face wasn¡¯t showing and the person was wearing an all ck clothes. ¡°Hey let me go!¡±I blurted out and tried to free myself from his tight grip. And before I could say jack, I found myself inside the swimming pool; the anonymous had pushed me in. I gasped loudly as I tried toe out but I couldn¡¯t. My head was going down under the water and no matter how hard I tried to bring my head out, I couldn¡¯t. * * TBC Our funny Dney is drowning and our Xavier is having fun Who¡¯s gonna save her?

Then, she made me clean up the dusty store room. She gave me loads of works to do. I did grandma¡¯sundry including mom¡¯s and mine. The clothes were so many that I got a sore in my hand. I washed the toilet and bathroom. I dusted every dusty furniture in the house. I don¡¯t know if she¡¯s doing it on purpose to keep me from not going to the party. But seriously, I feel so weak already. Making grumbling sounds and ranting cusses, I made my way to my room. I plonked myself on the bed and exhaled deeply. I looked around my room and it was scattered. My bed wasn¡¯t in good shape and my clothes in my wardrobe wasn¡¯t arranged. I looked around my room and all I felt was anger. Eish! Where do I even start from? Oh God! * * I arranged my room and then, proceeded to the sitting room. The sitting room wasn¡¯t really dirty and so, I wasn¡¯t having much to do.

I wiped the small television clean and then, I proceeded in removing the cobwebs hangingzily on the ceiling. I cleaning the dinning room too and scrubbed the floor clean.

I removed the cobwebs too. I arranged her bed and ced a new bedspread on the bed. I dusted every furniture in the room and then, I proceeded to her drawer. I opened the drawer and it was dusty and scattered. They were so many papers that weren¡¯t arranged properly inside. I sighed tiredly and brought out all the papers. But suddenly, a picture fell off from one of the papers. I dropped the papers and picked up the picture that had fallen face t on the floor. I turned the picture and my eyes surveyed curiously at the picture. It was the picture of a very pretty young girl and a young boy. The girl definitely looked like my mom and the guy, he looked rather familiar, though I don¡¯t know where exactly I¡¯ve seen him. The way they had posed, they looked so much in love with each other. The guy¡¯s arms were around mom¡¯s waist, holding it firmly. Mom¡¯s arms were on his shoulders and she had a sweet smile on her face, likewise the guy. They both looked perfect together. Who¡¯s this guy? Mom¡¯s never talked about her love life before or even anything about my dad. So, who¡¯s this guy? Definitely, they had dated and being in love because even a blind man could tell by just looking at the picture and their loving smiles at each other. I looked closely at the picture and¡­ Wait!!!

I walked away and towards the stairs. Suddenly, I heard voices andmotion. The noise wasing from outside and being curious, I made my way outside. I got outside and following where the noise wasing from, I got to the swimming pool area. Students were there and gasping and talking hurriedly. I strained my eyes and then, I saw a student trying to stay afloat. A student was drowning. I got a clearer view of the person and behold, it was Dney and without thinking twice, I jumped into the swimming pool. * * Xavier¡¯s pov I smiled in satisfaction as I pulled out from the second b*tch. I fixed back my d*ck inside my trouser and pinched her erected nipple. She moaned and bit her lip. She arranged her self properly and winked at me before leaving. I smacked my lips and arranged my clothes properly and rinsed my face. I fixed my hair again and after taking a good look at myself, I walked out of the restroom majestically. I got to the room Dney was and I didn¡¯t see her. I hurriedly got downstairs and I still couldn¡¯t find her. ¡°Two students are drowning.¡± I heard a girl telling her friend. What? I panicked and ran out and to the swimming pool area. They were so many students around and I was damn surprised. Then, I caught a glimpse of Rio trying to make a persons head stay up at the water. I looked closer and the girl was Dney. Oh my! What the¡­. f**k??? ¡°Rio??¡± I called out and without thinking twice, jumped inside and pulled Rio out and thank goodness, he was still concious. What the hell happened to both of them? I dived in back and brought out Dney. She was unconscious already and her breathing was so low. I panicked as I pressed her chest, she spat out only little amount of water. I did that for some seconds and she still didn¡¯t open her eyes. She looked pale already. Holy f**k!! What do I do?? She waspletely losing consciousness. ¡°Dney! Hey, Dney!¡± I called and tapped her, but there was no response. Oh my God! What do I do? Suddenly, I thought of one solution. Mouth to mouth resuscitation. Wait, does that mean that I¡¯ll indirectly kiss Dney? I sighed and ruffled my hair. I closed my eyes, held her noise and then, ced my lips on hers. * * TBC ?

I walked up to her and she didn¡¯t even spare me a side nce. ¡°Hey Chels.¡± I smiled lightly. ¡°Yeah, hi.¡± She retorted, her gaze still on her drink. ¡°Have you seen Xavier around?¡± I asked. ¡°No. I guess he¡¯s somewhere f*cking some random b*tches.¡± She said sarcastically. I walked away and towards the stairs. Suddenly, I heard voices andmotion. The noise wasing from outside and being curious, I made my way outside. I got outside and following where the noise wasing from, I got to the swimming pool area. Students were there and gasping and talking hurriedly. I strained my eyes and then, I saw a student trying to stay afloat. A student was drowning. I got a clearer view of the person and behold, it was Dney and without thinking twice, I jumped into the swimming pool. * * Xavier¡¯s pov I smiled in satisfaction as I pulled out from the second b*tch. I fixed back my d*ck inside my trouser and pinched her erected nipple. She moaned and bit her lip. She arranged her self properly and winked at me before leaving. I smacked my lips and arranged my clothes properly and rinsed my face. I fixed my hair again and after taking a good look at myself, I walked out of the restroom majestically. I got to the room Dney was and I didn¡¯t see her. I hurriedly got downstairs and I still couldn¡¯t find her. ¡°Two students are drowning.¡± I heard a girl telling her friend. What? I panicked and ran out and to the swimming pool area. They were so many students around and I was damn surprised. Then, I caught a glimpse of Rio trying to make a persons head stay up at the water. I looked closer and the girl was Dney. Oh my! What the¡­. f**k??? ¡°Rio??¡± I called out and without thinking twice, jumped inside and pulled Rio out and thank goodness, he was still concious. What the hell happened to both of them? I dived in back and brought out Dney. She was unconscious already and her breathing was so low. I panicked as I pressed her chest, she spat out only little amount of water. I did that for some seconds and she still didn¡¯t open her eyes. She looked pale already. Holy f**k!! What do I do?? She waspletely losing consciousness. ¡°Dney! Hey, Dney!¡± I called and tapped her, but there was no response. Oh my God! What do I do? Suddenly, I thought of one solution. Mouth to mouth resuscitation. Wait, does that mean that I¡¯ll indirectly kiss Dney? I sighed and ruffled my hair. I closed my eyes, held her noise and then, ced my lips on hers. * * TBC Chapter 44 Xavier¡¯s pov I removed my lips from Dney¡¯s as soon as she coughed out water. She weakly opened her eyes and stared intently at me, looking rather confused. I stood up and helped her seat up. ¡°What happened to me? Why am I drenched?¡± She asked as she stared at her wet clothes. She was all soaked and her hair was stered all over face, making her look like one of those possessed people in movies. ¡°Well, you dumbly fell into the pool.¡± I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes at her. ¡°Huh? I didn¡¯t fall into the pool myself. Someone pushed me.¡± She creased her eyebrows. ¡°Wait, what? Someone pushed you?¡± I asked and scoffed. ¡°Yes. But I couldn¡¯t see the persons face. The persons face was covered.¡± She groaned lightly. ¡°That¡¯s unbelievable. It¡¯s just your imagination. You fell into the pool and you assumed someone pushed you.¡± I huffed. ¡°I¡¯m not assuming, I¡¯m very sure. I was pushed into the swimming pool.¡± She defended. ¡°Okay. But who would want to push you into the pool?¡± I asked. ¡°I know you wouldn¡¯t believe me, so just forget about it.¡± She snorted. ¡°Get up, let¡¯s get you dried up else, you¡±d catch a cold.¡± I offered nicely and stretched out my hand for her to use as support to stand up. ¡°Thank you.¡± She smiled. ¡°Thank you buddy.¡± I told Rio as the three of us walked towards the car. ¡°It¡¯s fine dude. I just couldn¡¯t watch her drown.¡± He shrugged and patted my shoulder. ¡°Thank you Rio, you tried to save me even when you don¡¯t know her to how to swim. Seriously, I¡¯m grateful.¡± Dney smiled appreciatively. ¡°It¡¯s fine Dney. You¡¯re like a family to Xavier and Xavier is my buddy, so it¡¯s nothing.¡± Rioughed lightly. We got into the car and the chaffeur drove off. * * Brielle¡¯s pov ¡°Cheers girls for a job well done!¡± I squealed happily and raised my my wine ss up. ¡°Cheers!¡± They chorused with smiles on their faces and we clicked our sses together. ¡°Oh my goodness Brielle.¡± Brianna giggled excitedly and drank from her wine. ¡°Yeah, our ns worked and I¡¯m sure she¡±d probably have drown by now, all thanks to Jessica for carrying out the n.¡± I giggled and drank from my wine ss and smacked my lips together. ¡°We¡¯re going to check out what happened few minutes from now. Let¡¯s see if her stomach is already bloated because she drank too much water to death.¡± irughed. We allughed and poured wine in our sses again. ¡°But seriously Brielle, I¡¯ve been wanting to ask you this question since the very day you decided to hurt Dney.¡± ir started, looking all serious. I dropped my wine ss and paid full attention to her. ¡°What is it ir?¡± I asked. ¡°Why did you ever think of harming Dney because of Xavier? What about Chelsea, is she not a threat to you in getting Xavier? Why didn¡¯t you think of hurting Chelsea but Dney?¡± ir asked and exhaled. ¡°Nice question ir. An intelligent question.¡± I beamed. ¡°You see, I¡¯m still thinking of a right n and the right time to attack Chelsea. I have to remove the weaker one, which is Dney and n on hurting the stronger one, which is Chelsea and think of a good n to harm her which is gonna be really tough. I¡¯m just excising patience and thinking of how to eliminate her and have Xavier for myself. I want to get rid of the weak ones. So, if Dney¡¯s out of my way, I¡¯ll fully focus on getting rid of Chelsea.¡± I grinned proudly. ¡°Wow Brielle, you never told us about this idea of yours.¡± Brianna chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m smart right? I know.¡± I giggled and winked at them. ¡°I definitely get your point. You¡¯re always so smart.¡± ir smiled and nudged my arm yfully. We raised our sses up and clicked it. * * Alicia¡¯s pov I chopped the vegetables while mom washed the the meats and fish. ¡®so mom?¡± I called calmly, still chopping on the vegetables. ¡°Hum?¡± She answered, her attention on the meats and fish she¡¯s washing. ¡°Mom? I have a question to ask.¡± I gulped nervously and stopped chopping the vegetables and turned to stare at her. ¡°What is it Alicia? You¡¯re looking all serious.¡± Mom sighed and rinsed her hands. I brought out the picture from my pocket, looking so nervous. ¡°I found this in your drawer when I was cleaning it up this morning.¡± I gulped nervously and handed over the picture to her. Her face dropped immediately and her face was devoid of emotion. Her hands shook as she stared at the picture. A tear slipped down from her eye andnded on the picture but she was quick to wipe it away. She had a stern look and dropped the picture on the counter.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Who¡¯s that man mom? Is he my father?¡± I asked the question that has been on my mind since I saw the picture. I¡¯ve been restless and been thinking endlessly. ¡°What kind of a question is that?¡± Mom snapped and red at me. ¡°It¡¯s just a question mom. And mom, is he not Chelsea¡¯s dad; the man we bumped into at the mall the other day?¡± I further asked. ¡®stop asking me questions Alicia! That guy you saw in that picture was a close friend of mine and nothing more. And when the timees, I¡¯ll tell you about it.¡± She said and walked out of the kitchen. ¡°Finish the cooking!¡± She yelled, so I¡¯ll be able to hear her. ¡°Okay mom.¡± What if Chelsea¡¯s father is my father too? * * Alicia¡¯s mom pov Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrobly as I stared at the picture. The pains I thought might have gone years ago were still there in my heart. It resurfaced and this time, more painfully. We were a happy couple. We were happy together but everything ended within the twinkle of an eye. We were so much in love with each other and we were happy together. Why? I didn¡¯t want to believe he¡¯s never going to be mine but as time went on, I knew that really, we were never going to end up together. I fell for his sweet-talks and I loved him with everything I¡¯ve got but what at the end, what did he do to me? He left me shattered and heartbroken. I sobbed quietly and held the picture close to my chest. * * ¡°Alicia, I¡¯ll be stepping out for a while. I¡¯ll be back very soon.¡± I told Alicia, clutching my handbag. ¡°Okay mom, do take care.¡± Alicia smiled and pecked my cheeks. ¡°Alright, bye.¡± I kissed her hair and made for the door. We waved at each other while I walked out of the sitting room and closed the door. I bought just few items in the grocery store and also bought some drugs for headache; since the previous day after crying my eyes out, I¡¯ve had a pounding headache which refused to go. I don¡¯t want to fall sick¨C definitely not now orter. As I stood at the bus stop waiting for the next bus, a car suddenly drove past me but it came back and stopped in front of me. I stared at the car and the tinted windows were rolled down and I got a clearer view of the person. ¡°rissa?¡± The woman called and I stared intently at her. Wait, she does look familiar. ¡°Don¡¯t you know me rissa?¡± She asked and alighted from her car. She removed her sunshade and walked closer to me. She had a huge smile on her face. ¡°Wait, Joanne?¡± * * TBC Who knows who Alicia¡¯s mom saw? Chapter 45 Dney¡¯s pov ¡°Oh my goodness Dney! What on Earth happened to you?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom shrieked as she stared at my wet body. I wasn¡¯t drenched and soaked like I was when I just got out from the swimming pool. It got a little dried as we made our way home. ¡°It¡¯s nothing mom.¡± I shrugged. ¡°You can¡¯t say you being wet from your hair down to your toes means nothing. What happened? There wasn¡¯t rain today, so howe?¡± She asked worriedly. I chewed on my bottom lip and looked at Xavier for help. ¡°Well, she fell into the swimming pool at the celebrant house.¡± He scoffed. ¡°Huh? How did it happen?¡± She rushed her words breathlessly. ¡°An anonymous pushed me into the swimming pool.¡± I mumbled, but clearly enough for her to hear me. ¡°What? Who could that be?¡± She asked and ced her hands on her waist. ¡°I¡¯ve got no idea.¡± ¡°And you won¡¯t believe it mom, she almost got drown. But Rio and I were quick to save her. She¡¯s lucky I got to know on time else, she¡±d have drowned.¡± Xavier said and rolled his eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t know how to swim?¡± She asked, with her eyes almost popping out from it¡¯s socket. ¡°No.¡± I shook my head negatively. ¡°I¡±d be in my room mom. Dney is such a kill joy. We left the party before it even ended. And I didn¡¯t even tell the celebrant I was going home already. Dney ruined every of my ns.¡± Xavier grumbled and red at me. I lowered my gaze to the floor, feeling guilty. ¡°I¡±d be in my room mom. And don¡¯t forget to ask Dney all about the party.¡± He said sarcastically and without waiting for his mom¡¯s reply, he jogged towards the stairs. ¡°Dney, go freshen up already, so you won¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom smiled lightly at me. I nodded my head and turned to leave but her gasped made me stopped walking. ¡°Oh my God Laney! Did you dress like this to the party? And where are your shoes?¡± She gasped.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®she¡¯s crazy mom. Only a girl like her that would still dress like this in this twenty-first century. She looked funny in them.¡± Xavier suddenlyughed. Eish! Her voice was too loud and now, Xavier is gonna tease the hell out of me. ¡®son, I thought you were already in your room.¡± She said and stared up at him on the stairs. ¡°I was almost there but your gasp made me take just few steps backwards.¡± Heughed. ¡°And don¡¯t forget mom, you might need to employ someone that will take her lessons on dressings. Seriously, at this age she can¡¯t dress properly.¡± Xavierughed and before his mother could say something, he already ran up the stairs. I sighed and stared down at my feet. ¡°We need to talk Laney, a lot.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom said sternly while I nodded like a drenched puppy and trailed behind her as she walked away. * * Alicia¡¯s mom pov ¡°Joanne?¡± I called in shock. ¡°Oh my goodness, it¡¯s really you Joanne!¡± I eximed happily. ¡°Nice to see you again rissa.¡± She beamed and we both hug briefly. ¡°It¡¯s been so long ra.¡± She smiled and ran her eyes all over my body. ¡°Yeah. And it¡¯s nice meeting you again. You were thest person in my mind I thought I¡±d see today. And you¡¯re looking pretty and elegant.¡± I smiled as I mentally admired her clothes, her shoes and her appearance as a whole. Wow! She looked so pretty and she screams wealth. ¡°You don¡¯t look bad yourself. It¡¯s been so long.¡± She smiled. ¡°Yeah.¡± I said with a faux smile. She looked rather sophisticated and I wonder how she became this wealthy from thest time I saw her. She¡¯s really changed. ¡°Why don¡¯t you get into my car so I¡¯ll drop you at your house and we can talk better along the way.¡± She suggested. I pondered over it for just some seconds before I shook my head negatively. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that Joanne.¡± I declined politely. ¡°Oh!¡± She mouthed disappointedly. ¡°Okay, how about we exchange contact?¡± She asked. ¡°Yeah, sure.¡± I agreed without any reluctancy. ¡°Okay.¡± She nodded. She went to her car and took her phone and came back to me. We exchanged contact and bid each other goodbye with pecks. * * Xavier¡¯s pov ¡°Hey.¡± I took my gaze from my phone to stare at Dney. She looked better unlike when she looked like a soaked chick drenched under a heavy downpour. She was simply d in a gown that stops just on her knees and her wasn¡¯t wet and it was packed up freely. She doesn¡¯t look pale and she looked refreshed. ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked grumpily. ¡°Why are you always grumpy? You look mean when you grumble and speak rudely at me.¡± She pouted and walked to my body. ¡°If that¡¯s apliment, then thanks.¡± I said sarcastically. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m here because of something.¡± She fondled with her fingers, looking like a cute innocent baby. ¡°Okay, go on. What is it?¡± And this time around, I didn¡¯t speak grumpily or rudely, just in. And as if she noticed it, a big smile curved on her lips. ¡°Well, why did you put your lips on mine when you brought me out of the swimming pool? What does that mean?¡± She asked. What? Is this girl kidding me right now? ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± I lied, denying that I didn¡¯t remember. There¡¯s no way I¡¯m going tell her that, that was kinda a kiss. And I almost forgot, thest time I checked, she doesn¡¯t know the meaning of kiss, so I¡¯ll just go by it. ¡°When I woke up, I noticed that your lips were ced on mine and I knew it was that action that saved. So, what exactly is it?¡± She asked. Eish! This girl won¡¯t stop right? ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. Me, I ced my lips on yours, how?¡± I insisted that I don¡¯t remember. ¡°Like this.¡± And before I could process that word, I felt her soft lips on mine. What? * * TBC This Dney is too inquisitive Chapter 46 Xavier¡¯s pov My eyes snapped opened as her lips were still on mine. I didn¡¯t know what to do at that moment¨C should I reciprocate the kiss or disengage from it? Her lips were so soft on mine and I really longed to kiss her mercilessly. But, I don¡¯t want to take advantage of her naivety. I pulled my lips away from hers and ced my hand on my thumping chest. I felt really confused. Why didn¡¯t I take the opportunity to kiss her like I¡¯ve always wanted? And why did she have to put her lips on mine? Really, I felt guilty because, she wouldn¡¯t have kissed me if I hadn¡¯t pretended to her that I didn¡¯t know what she was talking about. Even if I wanted a kiss from her, then it shouldn¡¯t have been this way¨C because she¡¯s unaware of what she just did. ¡°Why did you do that?¡± I asked, trying to sound stern but my low voice rather betrayed me because it came out low and not stern. ¡°I¡­ Wanted you to remember what you did to me and I want you to tell me exactly what it means.¡± She said lowly and bowed her head. ¡°It¡¯s something you¡¯re not supposed to know. And let me give you a piece of advice, don¡¯t go about cing your lips on others, so you won¡¯t get yourself in trouble.¡± I huffed and rolled my eyes. ¡°You can leave now.¡± I ordered and pointed towards the door. ¡°But Xavier¡­¡± She whined but I shushed her shut. ¡°Why are you being too inquisitive Dney? It¡¯s bad you know? It¡¯ll onlynd you into trouble.¡± I reprimanded her calmly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll just get going now.¡± She mumbled and started towards the door. She turned to stare at me briefly, before walking out of my room. ¡°Argghhh!¡± I groaned and plomped hard on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling and touched my lips, reminiscing on how her lips felt on mine. Geez, really? I¡¯m starting to think like an high schoolgirl who just had her first kiss from her lover and boyfriend. I smiled lightly and licked my lips, remembering how those soft lips felt on mine. Truth be told, I really wanted to kiss her back so badly, but I just had to restrict myself. I shouldn¡¯t take advantage of her naivety. Even though, I¡¯m kinda grumpy and arrogant, I still have a concience. But seriously, I really need to get that brief¨C should I call it a kiss or¡­? Eish! Maybe a lip to lip stuff. Gosh, I¡¯m going crazy and all thanks to that alien; Dney. I sighed and snuggled into my nket and buried my face in my pillow. * * Dney¡¯s pov Why was Xavier suddenly mad at me for cing my lips on his? Was it something I wasn¡¯t supposed to do? Why do I always make him angry? When will I eventually make him to stop being mad at me? He¡¯s mean to me and I don¡¯t like it.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I guess from today, I¡¯ll try my possible best so as not to offend him. I¡¯ll be of my best behaviour and I¡¯ll avoid making him angry with him. Now thinking about it, I need to do something so he wouldn¡¯t be mad at me anymore. The n I¡¯ve got, I pray it works out perfectly well. I¡¯m gonna make him smile and who knows, he might even hug me and I¡¯ll really love that to happen. I need to n this out perfectly so I won¡¯t make any mistake. * * Brielle¡¯s pov I yelled angrily and broke my dressing mirror and everything that were on my dressing table. My makeup were everywhere including broken ss objects. As I tried to go back to my bed, my feet came in contact with the broken sses and I had to winced painfully. ¡°You¡¯re only gonna end up hurting yourself so bad.¡± ir said calmly. I yelled angrily, ignoring the piercing pain on my bleeding foot. ¡°Calm down Brielle, don¡¯t hurt yourself okay? Come now, I¡¯ll tend to your injuries.¡± Brianna cooed softly and wrapped her arms around my neck, but not tightly. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared into space. * * After drinking our wine and making merriment, we left the room to go check on Dney and know if something bad happened to her. I was so eager that I felt nervous as we approached the pool side. To my utmost dismay, I was told Dney was saved by Rio¨C though he couldn¡¯t swim, and Xavier who actually made her concious. They had left together and I was greatly pained. I lost again! I f*cking hate that s*it. Brielle doesn¡¯t ept defeats and I¡¯ll definitely get to her again¨C I had promised myself inwardly as I seethed in anger. I felt really bad that Xavier was there to save her, just when my ns were already going out smoothly. Why didn¡¯t she just drown, so I can wholly focus on getting rid of Chelsea? * ¡°I have a n Brielle. Why don¡¯t we use Chelsea to get at Dney and indirectly, we¡±d be hurting Chelsea too. Let¡¯s kill two birds with one stone.¡± Brianna smirked as we sat on my bed after she had tended to my injuries and wrapped a ster on it. ¡°How do you wanna go about it?¡± I asked, finding the idea really brilliant. ¡°Just watch me put a call across Chelsea and we¡±d talk. You¡¯ll hear our discussions and I¡¯m very sure that she wouldn¡¯t reject such offer because I noticed that, she doesn¡¯t like Dney. And as for the three of us and especially you, you don¡¯t like the both of them. It¡¯ll just be exactly killing two birds with one stone at the same time.¡± Briannaughed. ¡®seriously Brianna, you¡¯re so smart.¡± I beamed happily at her brilliant suggestion. ¡°I have her phone number, don¡¯t even ask me how I got it. I always have my way. I¡¯ll call her now and hear whatever she has to safe.¡± Brianna smiled proudly. ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± ir and I chorused together ecstatically. She took her phone from the bed and scrolled through her phone. She clicked on Chelsea¡¯s number and within just few seconds, the call went through and it started ringing. * * Is Chelsea really gonna work with them to get rid of Dney? Chapter 47 Dney¡¯s pov ¡°You really want to please him right? You don¡¯t want him to be mad at you again right?¡± Xavier¡¯s mom grinned as we both stared at each other intently. I nodded my head with a shy smile, ¡°yes ma¡±am.¡± ¡°Then, what you have to do is very simple. You¡¯ll write a letter to Xavier, telling him how sorry you are and also, you¡¯ll tell him in the letter that, you wouldn¡¯t try to make him angry again. Just write something nice and polite too, that would put Xavier in a good mood.¡± She grinned widely. I listened to her with rapt attention. ¡°And also, I have another idea.¡± She whispered with a mischievous smile. I creased my eyebrows and stared curiously at her. ¡°What is it mom? Is it something that¡±d really make Xavier forgive mepletely? I really do want him to forgive me and not stay mad at me. I¡¯m ready to write the letter too.¡± I pouted, feeling guilty because of how my character and clumsiness had made Xavier angry. I feel guilty because I know I¡¯m making him angry with my character. ¡°Xavier¡¯s mom smiled at me and held my hands in hers. ¡°Xavier loves a particr chocte bar. You¡±d get it for him and attached it to the letter. He¡±d be pleased, that¡¯s for sure.¡± She smiled. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s a chocte bar?¡± I asked. I mentally apuded myself for pronouncing the words correctly. ¡°Huh? You don¡¯t know what it is?¡± It was her turn to look dumbfounded. ¡°No. I don¡¯t know what it is. I haven¡¯t heard of it before.¡± I said truthfully. ¡®really huh? There are so many things you don¡¯t know.¡± Sheughed. ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t know how to exin it but it¡¯s more like a kind of sweet, not really a sweet though. I don¡¯t really know how to exin it. But it¡¯s what we eat, but it isn¡¯t a food but a snacks; more like a junkie. But since you don¡¯t know it, I¡¯ll get it for you myself. And make sure you construct the letter properly, tonight. I¡¯ll get the chocte tomorrow and before Xavier would go to bed tomorrow, you would give it to him. Hope you can do that?¡± She exined calmly. I nodded my head and smiled gratefully at her, ¡°yes, I would be able to.¡± ¡°Good. So, from tomorrow after giving Xavier the apology letter and his favourite chocte, I can assure you that he wouldn¡¯t be mad at you again. And make sure you try your possible best to also be of good behaviours and not make him angry.¡± She said and patted my hair. ¡°I promise, I¡¯ll try my best. It would be my joy to see Xavier happy with me.¡± I smiled assuringly. ¡°Me too.¡± * * Chelsea¡¯s pov ¡°Hello, who¡¯s this?¡± I asked sternly over the phone. I had actually wanted to have a quick nap but the sound of my phone ringing tone, stopped me from doing so. It was an unknown number and I seriously didn¡¯t want to pick up the call, but another part of me wanted me to pick it up and I did. ¡°My name is Brianna. One of the B3 girls.¡± A tiny voice came up on the phone. Oh! Those b*tches! They are bullies and we aren¡¯t friends. Though they are ssy, I still don¡¯t like them and I don¡¯t mingle with them too. And why the hell is one of them suddenly calling? ¡°Okay? Why did you call?¡± I asked sarcastically and rolled my eyes.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Chill okay? I mean no harm and I have a deal for you.¡± Her voice came up and it sounded so serious. I grew curious and sat properly on my Bed. ¡°Okay? What deal?¡± I breathed out. ¡°It¡¯s about Dney.¡± She said and I could tell a smirk was already curved on her lips because of the way she sounded. ¡°What about Dney?¡± I hissed, feeling pissed at the mention of Dney¡¯s name. ¡°I know you don¡¯t like her Chelsea and my friends and I don¡¯t like her too. So, I havee up with a sweet offer for you that you would be happy with and you wouldn¡¯t want to reject it.¡± She said and I became more curious. They don¡¯t like Dney too? What¡¯s her offence? ¡°What¡¯s the offer Brianna?¡± I smirked. ¡°First, are you in because we¡¯re gonna hurt Dney? If you are not in, then I can¡¯t tell you.¡± She said and sighed. I licked my lips and pondered a little. I¡¯ve always wanted to get rid of Dney right? Now it¡¯s a perfect opportunity. I¡¯m gonna make sure I¡¯ll put the whole me on the girls and paint them bad. They¡¯re gonna have all the mes while I will go scot free. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m in.¡± * * Chapter 48 Alicia¡¯s pov After the incident that happened¨C when I showed mom the picture, she suddenly looked depressed, like she was trying hard to fight some demons. She wouldn¡¯t talk to me including grandma¨C she wouldn¡¯t talk to either of us. I suddenly felt sad and guilty because perhaps, showing her the picture brought back bad memories. I¡¯ve never seen mom being sad and withdrawn the way she is presently. She¡±d go to work in the morning before even grandma or I would even be awake and return back at night when grandma and I would have gone to bed. She barely eat and the day I had gotten to fortunately meet her before she left for work, she already emaciated and she looked pale too. What¡¯s eating mom up, that I don¡¯t know. * * ¡°What do you think is wrong with your mother? She¡¯s been acting weird these days and she wouldn¡¯t even talk to me. Do you have any idea what exactly is wrong with her?¡± Grandma asked worriedly as we sat on the dinning table eating dinner without mom. I cleared my throat and drank a little from my water, before turning to look at my grandma. I know there¡±d be no use lying to her. She needs to at least know what I think has to do with mom¡¯s recent behaviour. I might not be entirely right about mom acting that way because of the picture, but I think it has to do with that picture. There¡¯s something she isn¡¯t telling me and I won¡¯t force her about it. ¡°Well grandma, two, or three days ago¨C can¡¯t really remember exactly when, I wanted to clean mom¡¯s dusty drawer and in the process of bringing out some papers, a picture fell off. I picked it up and it was the picture of mom and a man¨C I think I know, or maybe I¡¯m sure he is the one, the way they had posed and held themselves, I could tell instantly that they were probably lovers. The guy actually looks just like my grade mate father mom and I bumped into some weeks back. And when mom returned back home, I confronted her but she was angry.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. I asked her if the guy was my father but she was really angry. She took the picture with her and left the kitchen. And that was it. Since then, I think she started being this way because of what perhaps the picture held¨C the memories. I feel sad grandma, because I¡¯m the reason mom¡¯s acting this way.¡± I exined and bursted into hot tears. ¡®shuu Alicia, don¡¯t me yourself. If really perhaps the picture has to do with your mom¡¯s recent behaviour, she¡±d definitelye around. Don¡¯t feel sad because you didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± Grandma cooed and walked to my seat. She wrapped her arms around my neck: behind me and kissed my hair. ¡°Thank you grandma. I feel at peace a little because of your kind words. I just hope mom woulde around because I haven¡¯t seen her this way before.¡± I sniffed in my tears and wrapped my hands on her arms around my neck. ¡°It¡¯s okay, stop crying and eat your food.¡± She patted my back and went back to her seat. I nodded my head and went back to my meal, but this time, I didn¡¯t have much appetite, I just forced myself to eat it. * ¡°I¡¯m sorry mom, I¡¯m really sorry if I made you angry because of the picture I showed to you. I don¡¯t like seeing you like this. I missed your lively self. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± I apologized, with my hands sped together and with a sad puppy face. ¡°I¡¯m not angry with you Alicia.

Chelsea still res at me and this time around, I noticed her smirk has grown wider. She always wore this triumphant look anytime our gazes lock. But she¡¯s the least of my problems. I do t give a damn to her. After closing, Xavier said he wanted to ride with Rio because they would be going out. I was left alone to go home with the driver while Chelsea went home with her car. As the driver drove me home, I left my mind to wander around because the ride was boring with no Xavier to steal nces at and watch him secretly operating his phone. I thought of the birthday party. The incident at the pool, I¡¯m very sure someone pushed me but why? I didn¡¯t even know if the person was a male or female and I couldn¡¯t get even a glimpse of the person. * * I took my bath and wore the clothes that were already ced on my bed. A short¨C as Xavier¡¯s mom had called it and what I think it¡¯s a tank top. I packed my hair in a loose ponytail and went downstairs. After eating lunch, I got super bored. Xavier wasn¡¯t home yet neither was his mom home yet too. I decided to go out of the house for a while and return back. I suddenly thought of what happened the other day I went out alone, but the boredom wouldn¡¯t allow me to stay in such a huge house alone. I got outside the house and I started walking, heading to wherever my mind leads me too. * * TBC Dney has gone out again and I wonder what will happen this time around ? Love you all Chapter 49 Xavier¡¯s pov ¡®really Xavier, you really need to start being nice to Dney. That girl is so beautiful and I like her innocence. She isn¡¯t like other girls that would flock around you like bees. She¡¯s totally different and you should hold on to her tightly before she¡±d be snatched away from you. You should put aside your grumpy attitude and bring out that nice personality.¡± Rio smiled¨C but I knew he was damn serious. I don¡¯t really get why he¡¯s suddenly advising me concerning Dney when he doesn¡¯t believe in rtionship and love¨C just like me. Is he interested in her? No, I don¡¯t want to believe so. ¡°Why are suddenly concerned about how my rtionship with Dney is? It¡¯s none of your business if I¡¯m being grumpy to her or being rude. And just so you know, she¡¯s not my type.¡± I scoffed and chung down my whiskey. He shook his head and red at me. * * Dney¡¯s pov I continued walking around, having no where particr in mind. I stared around the the tall big houses and also big cars. This route is definitely different from the route I took when I went out the other day. I sighed softly as I continued to gaze around. As I continued to walk, I took my gaze to different directions¨C not really paying attention to the direction I was headed¨C not as if I¡¯ve got any direction in mind. ¡°Hey! Watch where you¡¯re going!¡± I heard a loud angry voice and before I could turn to see who the angry voice was referring to, I already bumped into someone. My mouth flew opened in shock as I stared at her spilled items on the floor.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Most of the items were already ruined and it littered the whole floor. I didn¡¯t really know all the items but I still know a few. A can of milk was already bursted and it¡¯s content already spilled on the floor. An apple which was already divided into two parts because of maybe how hard it fell. Other items I didn¡¯t know we¡¯re on the floor. ¡°Are you blind? You¡¯ve ruined my stuff¡¯s and you¡¯re gonna pay for it!¡± The woman, who I had spilled her items, yelled angrily at me. We were already causing a scene and I was so scared. I didn¡¯t even have any money on me to pay. She looked angry as she stared at me. I gulped down nervously, ¡°please ma¡±am, I¡¯m sorry. I wasn¡¯t watching were exactly I was going to and I¡¯m sorry I made you drop your items so hard on the floor that most stuff¡¯s got ruined. ¡°Your filthy sorry wouldn¡¯t be enough! You¡¯re gonna pay for the damages you caused.¡± The woman snapped angrily and gripped me roughly by my arm. ¡°But ma¡±am, I don¡¯t have any money with me to pay for the damages I caused you.¡± I begged politely. ¡°I don¡¯t care! You¡¯re gonna call any of your guardians or parents!¡± The woman yelled and it took her patient for her not to have smack me hard on my face. I sighed and thought of what to do. * * Xavier¡¯s pov ¡®seriously mom? Again? What the hell is wrong with that girl?¡± I rasped angrily over the phone. ¡°Please son, I¡¯m not done with work and I want you to go help her out, please. The woman already exined everything to me and it¡¯s just for you to pay her back. And bring Dney home.¡± Mom sighed. ¡°Okay mom. I¡¯m doing this because of you.¡± I grumbled lightly. ¡°Thank you son, I love you.¡± She made kisses sounds. ¡°Love you too mom.¡± I hurriedly got down the stairs with my keys with me. I got to the garage and went for my motorbike. I wore my helmet and climbed on it, I ignited it and drove off speedily along the road. Mom already texted me the ce Dney and the woman were. I¡¯m so gonna deal with that girl! Mom¡¯s gonna take her out of the house today and it¡¯s final! She should go back to where she¡¯s from. She¡¯s given us more headache and caused us nothing but trouble. Gosh! I wonder the she fell from that she¡¯s always acting annoyingly. * * Dney¡¯s pov I breathed a sigh of relief as Xavier walked up to us. He looked angry and I had to bend my head in guilt. I felt so foolish. He talked briefly with the woman and paid for the damages I made. He started walking away and without being told, I hastily walked behind him, with my chest thumping loudly out of how nervous I felt. Xavier really looked dangerously angry and it scared the hell out of me. What will he do to me? Hit me? Or will I be sent out of the house? I was really worried and tried my best to think optimistic. I actually had Xavier¡¯s mom number off head, Xavier¡¯s mom asked me to learn it because of what happened the other time. And I was d I remembered it and then, I gave the woman the number and she put a call across Xavier¡¯s mom but she assured me that she¡¯s gonna send Xavier toe help me because she was still busy. ¡°Xavier¡­¡± I called but his burning re made me keep shut. I looked at what he had gotten on top and I was confused. This was totally different from other cars I¡¯ve seen What kind of a car is this? ¡°Won¡¯t you climb on it? Or you¡¯re gonna just stand there looking liking a fool.¡± He rolled his eyes. I was so confused as I continued to stare strangely at the car but this car was opened and it isn¡¯t as big a the car at the house. ¡°C¡¯mon Dney, hurry up and climb in.¡± He groused angrily as he carried what looked like a cbash and wore it on his head¨C a beautiful cbash. ¡°Where should I seat?¡± I asked. ¡®seat on my head!¡± He snapped. ¡°On your head? But if I seat on your head, how will you drive your opened car?¡± I asked, perplexed. * * TBC So, Dney wants to really seat on Xavier¡¯s head Chapter 50 Xavier¡¯s pov I hissed angrily and turned to look at Dney, who was obviously looking lost and confused. ¡°You seat behind me, here.¡± I touched the seat and she just nodded. I showed her the way to seat on it and she did, but she looked scared at first, butter, she was about to climb on top of it. ¡°Hold me firmly around my waist so you won¡¯t fall off and don¡¯t even think of removing your hands else, you¡¯re gonna fall off.¡± I told her, sounding stern, so she knows that it¡¯s not just a mere spoken words but words that is supposed to be obeyed. ¡°Okay.¡± She mumbled. I got on top of the motorbike and her arms got wrapped around my waist and her body pressed against my back. Wow! The feeling I got, it was something I couldn¡¯t exin. ¡°I didn¡¯t bring my spare helmet, I forgot. So, you¡¯ll just manage and I¡¯ll try my best not to go too far.¡± I sighed as I wore my helmet. ¡°What¡¯s¡­ An helmet?¡± She stuttered. ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m wearing.¡± I grunted. I started the motorbike and I noticed her grip around my waist tightened as we drove along the road. ¡°Oh my Xavier! This feels just good!¡± She giggled excitedly. ¡®really huh! You prefer more to a car?¡± I yelled, so she could hear me because of the breeze. ¡°Yes. This is cool and more fun more than a car. Wow! It¡¯s my first time on something like this and I already like it.¡± She giggled again. ¡°That¡¯s good to hear that you love my motorbike.¡± I said and smiled lightly to myself. * * We entered into the house and Dney had a guilty look on her face. I had almost forgotten that I was still angry at her. Mom was already at the sitting room and she looked seriously worried. ¡°Mom?¡± I called. She stood up from the couch and started towards us. ¡°Oh my goodness Dney!¡± She gasped as she got closer to Dney whose face was bent in guilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry mom, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± She sniffed in her tears. I was almost forced to huff. She¡¯s really dramatic and she¡¯s good at acting very well too. ¡°You have to stop leaving the house without anyone apanying you okay? It¡¯s dangerous out there and you might not get lucky next time.¡± Mom reprimanded. ¡°Okay mom.¡± Dney said and this time, her eyes were on mom¡¯s. ¡°And son, thank you.¡± Mom beamed and hugged me. Perfect! Just when I was thinking that she wouldn¡¯t acknowledge me. ¡°It¡¯s okay mom. At least, she¡¯s safe.¡± I smiled and hugged her back. She grinned and patted my back. ¡°C¡¯mon Dney, I got something for you.¡± Mom smiled and held Dney¡¯s hand and before Dney could say anything, mom already started for the stairs, taking Dney along with her. Iughed softly and walked towards the kitchen. Gosh! I¡¯m so tasty. * * Dney¡¯s pov ¡°Open it.¡± Xavier¡¯s mom grinned as she gave me what looks like a box but this one was beautiful and fancy. It was a little bit heavy and I guessed that there¡±d be something inside.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Curiously, I started opening the box. I finally opened it and¡­ What? Wow! I brought out a beautiful phone just as big as Xavier¡¯s own¨C it was the same but the colour was the only difference. ¡°Do you like it? It¡¯s yours.¡± She smiled. I screamed happily and hugged her tight, feeling grateful. ¡°Like? I love it! Thank you so much mom, I¡¯m really grateful. I¡¯ve always wanted one and now, I¡¯ve finally gotten one.¡± I squealed tedly. ¡°It¡¯s okay Dney, I think you really need it. At least, you would stop going out when you¡¯re bored. Come closer, let me teach you how to operate it.¡± * * Alicia¡¯s pov ¡°Alicia?¡± Mom called. ¡°Yes mom.¡± I turned to look at her. She dropped the TV remote and turned to face me. She looked really serious and I was curious, wondering why she suddenly called me, sounding so serious. ¡°You know, since the day you showed me that picture and asked about your father again, I¡¯ve been feeling so guilty. It¡¯s been years already and I asked myself *why hide the truth away from her? She deserves to know the truth.* I feel like a selfish mom for hiding the truth away from you, for not telling you about your father. You deserve every right to know who your father is, and I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t tell you all these years.¡± Mom expound with tears rolling down her cheeks. I didn¡¯t say anything but stare nkly at her. ¡°Your father¡­¡± She gulped down nervously and held my hands in hers. ¡°Your father was the guy you saw on the picture and he¡¯s still the man we met at Mall the other day¨C Jerry.¡± She said, with her voice almost barely audible. Her voice quivered and she broke down in tears. I removed my hands from hers and stood up from the couch and stared at her, finding it hard to assimte what she had just said. ¡°Mom, are you being serious right now?¡± I asked and scoffed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I kept it away from you.¡± She sobbed. ¡®so, Chelsea¡¯s dad is my dad?¡± Iughed, like someone going crazy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She tried to reach out to me but I moved backwards. ¡°How mom? What happened?¡± I broke down in tears too. I have a wealthy father all this time and I never knew? Oh God! * * * * Xavier¡¯s Pov: The ring sound of my rm awoken me from sleep and I turned tiredly and turned it off. Gosh! I still felt so dizzy. I yawned and stretched on the bed and was about getting up when I felt something beside me. I looked and discovered it was a piece of paper. Oh! And there was a chocte beside it¡­ I picked up the paper, opened it and the writing I¡±d found in it almost made meugh. What the¡­.. I stared up at the ceiling andughed. What sort of writing is this? Even a kindergarten child wouldn¡¯t have such handwriting. This is definitely Dney.. I smiled as I went through it. Oh! It was an apology letter. And it read: *Dear Xavier. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for always making you angry. ¡°It¡¯s really not intentional. Your world is just too difficult for me to understand. ¡°I hope you can forgive me, Xavier. ¡°I want us to be friends¡± The writing was so big, they covered the entire page. Gosh! I smiled and fell back on the door, being amused by the letter. Hmm. Pretty na?vedy. I smiled and took up the chocte, opened it and started chewing. * * After a while, I took my bath and got ready for school. I went to the kitchen and decided to brew coffee for Dney and I, as a token of appreciation for the chocte. I made the cups of coffee just perfect, the way I like it and I¡¯m sure, she¡±d love it too. I ced the two cups on a tray, and as I made to carry it, Dney walked in already dressed for school. Is it me or is Dney not looking more beautiful and bright this morning? ¡°Good morning Xavier.¡± She smiled shyly and got to were I stood. ¡°Yeah, morning Laney.¡± I smiled back at her. ¡°Uhm Xavier, I guess you saw the letter and chocte I sent to you?¡± She twitched her lips, looking nervous and it made her cute. ¡°Yeah, I did. And thank you for the chocte.¡± I said softly¨CI was even surprised at how cool my voice sounded. ¡°Xavier, I¡¯m really sorry and I hope you wouldn¡¯t stay mad at me again.¡± She pouted and sped her hands together. ¡°It¡¯s fine Laney, I¡¯m not mad at you anymore.¡± I said, sincerely. ¡®really?¡± She widened her eyes. ¡°Yeah.¡± I smiled. ¡°Thank you Xavier.¡± She squealed tedly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Here, I made you coffee.¡± I told her and handed one of the coffees to her. She looked at the coffee to me and her lips curved in a smile. ¡°Thank you.¡± She said and collected the cup of coffee. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± I smiled at her, took my own coffee and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Dney with her flushed cheeks. * * TBC Chapter 51 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? My face heat up and I need nobody to tell me that I¡¯m blushing; my face probably would have been all flushed. I sniffed in the sweet smell emitting from the coffee and smiled broadly. Coffee is one of the strange things I¡¯vee to like in Xavier¡¯s house. The first day I had tasted, I instantly liked it and wanted more. But this coffee in my hand is totally different from the ones I¡¯ve had even without me having even a little sip from it¨C but I could tell by the sweet smell. I licked my lips tentatively and ced the cup in my lips. I smiled sheepishly and sipped gently from the coffee. Oh my! The taste¡­ It was so different from the one the maids do make.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Wow! Who knew the grumpy Xavier could make a coffee as good as this? Wow! I¡¯m really impressed! I took arge sip and breathed out. So refreshing! Okay, so why exactly did Xavier give me a coffee, especially the one prepared by him? Perhaps, did my apology letter and chocte do the trick? I¡¯ll be more than happy if he¡¯s really not mad at me again. * * XAVIER¡¯s POV Throughout the drive to school, I stole nces at the smiling Dney. Her face looks brighter and she¡¯s been smiling ever since we stepped into the car. ¡°What¡¯s with the smiling face Laney?¡± I asked, not able to keep the question that I badly wanted to ask her since I noticed her smiles that wouldn¡¯t leave her face. ¡°Let¡¯s say, I¡¯m happy. I woke up from the right side of the bed.¡± She bit her lowere lip shyly. ¡®really? Or is there something you aren¡¯t telling me?¡± I asked sarcastically. I really have no idea where my conversation with her is heading at. If it were before, I¡¯ll just ignore her and type away on my phone or y games. ¡°Nothing really, Xavier. I¡¯m just happy.¡± She smiled and bent her head shyly. ¡°Okay, if you say so.¡± I smiled¨C I don¡¯t even know why I smiled. She looked innocent and cute when she¡¯s shy and acting nervous. She¡¯s too real and sometimes, I do like her for it and other times like when she does something really annoying, I don¡¯t like her for it. But she¡¯s different from other girls I¡¯ve met. ¡°Uhm Xavier¡­¡± She coughed slightly¨C a nervous one actually. ¡°Yes.¡± I turned to stare at her. ¡°Well, your mom bought me a phone like yours. She taught me just few basis of the phone and she told me to tell you to teach me how to operate more on it.¡± She twitched her lips and stared at me with a pout. I smiled and nodded my head. Okay, what¡¯s wrong with me? I¡¯ve been smiling too much these days. ¡°Is it me or you¡¯ve been smiling a lot more?¡± Dney asked sarcastically. I frowned a little and ignored her, going back to my phone. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV ¡°Okay, that¡¯s a little task for me to handle.¡± I had smirked over the phone after Brianna had told me what her ns on Dney were. ¡®really? That would be great and make it easier for me.¡± She had squealed over the phone. I was forced to remove the phone from my ears so her screams wouldn¡¯t make me go deaf. We both ended the call and throughout the night, I couldn¡¯t stop grinning to myself. Atst, I fell asleep not without a smile on my face. * I got ready for school and since I wasn¡¯t early enough, I decided to go to school directly without having to drop by at Xavier. It¡¯s just a matter of time before Xavier would finally be mine. * * I smirked triumphantly as I stared at Dney, standing beside Xavier. We were in the assembly hall and the principal was giving her boring speech as usual. I just couldn¡¯t wait for the assembly to be over so my ns would be carried out. After the long boring speech from the principal, we were all dispersed. I whistled happily as I made my way to the ssroom. After everyone had settled down in the respective seats, I stood up elegantly from my seat and cleared my throat loudly, gaining the students attention¨C just what I wanted. ¡°My golden wristwatch was stolen!¡± I announced angrily, not forgetting to add a smirk to my faux angry face. ¡°What? Huh?¡± Different gasps rang out among the students. ¡°Has anyone seen it or knows who stole it?¡± I further asked and turned to res at Dney, who looked rather less concerned. ¡°I know who stole it! Dney did!¡± Brianna said loudly and stood up as well. More loud and surprised gasps rang out again. ¡°Me? I didn¡¯t steal anything!¡± Dney defended, looking so shocked and lost. ¡°Then, can I have your backpack searched?¡± Brianna asked, walking closer to meet Dney. ¡°No, you can¡¯t! I didn¡¯t steal anything! Don¡¯t use me of what I know nothing about.¡± She protested vehemently. I chuckled mockingly. If only she knows what¡¯sing her way, then she wouldn¡¯t have disagreed for her backpack to be searched. ¡°If truly you¡¯re innocent, then let her search your backpack to clear yourself.¡± I snorted disdainfully. ¡°Chelsea, what are you doing?¡± Xavier whispered. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. ¡°Doing what I think is right!¡± I said sternly. ¡°I won¡¯t let you search my backpack when I know I¡¯m clearly innocent!¡± She cried out. ¡®she¡¯s definitely a thief! She¡¯s refusing to be searched and that means only one thing¨C she really stole Chelsea¡¯s golden wristwatch.¡± A student said loudly and the students concurred with her. Brianna yanked Dney¡¯s backpack and then, emptied it, turning everything out. And then, my golden wristwatch fell out and the whole students gasped and I could see the disappoinment in Xavier¡¯s face as he stared at Dney. * * TBC Chapter 52 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? I stared gob smacked at Chelsea¡¯s supposed golden wristwatch. What the hell? How did this happen? How did the wristwatch enter my backpack. ¡°I¡­swear¡­I don¡¯t¡­ Know¡­ho.. w¡­ It got there. I didn¡¯t steal it.¡± I stammered, seriously confused and shocked about the whole thing. How did the wristwatch get into my backpack? I would never steal, never! ¡®really? So, my golden wristwatch grew wings from my own backpack and got into yours right? How low can you be? You could have just asked me for it and I¡¯ll dly give it to you. But stealing? I¡¯m so disappointed.¡± She huffed disdainfully. ¡°I swear, I didn¡¯t take it, I¡¯ll never do such.¡± I tried to defend myself. Did Chelsea frame me because she hates me? It¡¯s not new that Chelsea doesn¡¯t like me. I Know she does¨C even without being told. The way she looks at me¨C says it all. But my question is why exactly? What did I ever do to her? ¡°You don¡¯t have to deny the fact that You¡¯re nothing but a crook, a purloiner and arcenist! You have no shame!¡± Chelsea smacked angrily. I bent my head and bit my lower lip to prevent me from crying. How do I defend myself? I really didn¡¯t do it. ¡°You stole Chelsea¡¯s golden wristwatch Dney, because if you didn¡¯t, you wouldn¡¯t have disagreed for your backpack to be searched. You¡±d have allowed your backpack to be searched without anyints or disagreement.¡± Brielle said and the students echoed a yes. ¡°What difference would it have made huh? My backpack being searched willingly or unwillingly? The wristw¡±¡±atch would have still been found in my backpack. I would have still being termed a thief.¡± I cried out, feeling both angry and confused. ¡°And why on Earth would I want to steal anything?¡± I yelled, not entirely not knowing where the guts came from. ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re a poor thing and a lowlife! You can¡¯t possibly own something as expensive as my golden wristwatch and so, you decided to steal it. Who knows, maybe you¡¯ll sell it and use the money for your miserable self.¡± She scoffed irritably and the students bursted into an hystericalughter. At that moment, I felt like yanking Chelsea¡¯s hair and smacking her face hard on the desk but I didn¡¯t do it, I just stood and kept my cool. ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± A deep authoritative voice said sternly. I turned and saw Xavier, he looked disappointed. I took my gaze away from his as soon as he gave me a re. ¡°Apart from Brianna, is there anyone who saw Dney put Chelsea¡¯s golden wristwatch inside her backpack?¡± He asked, his eyes darting from one student to the other. The once murmuring students were all quiet and nobody said a word. Okay, wait! Is Xavier trying to side with me or what? ¡°Nobody?¡± He asked calmly. Still, nobody said a word or stood up. ¡°Okay. Now Chelsea, how would you think that Dney knew you brought a golden wristwatch to school today? I¡¯m sure you aren¡¯t the only student with such a valuable asset. So, why would Dney think of taking yours?¡± Xavier asked, he was staring at Chelsea who looked rather speechless and angry. Her lips quivered as she couldn¡¯t utter a word. I almost burst outughing because of how speechless she looked¨C this was the same girl that was yelling and saying all sorts of despicable words to me. ¡°Cat suddenly got your tongue right? Next time, before you think of framing someone, think very well.¡± He huffed and sat down gracefully. I turned and gave him a small appreciating smile while he just shrugged. ¡°We are sorry for agreeing to the fact that you are a thief when you¡¯re clearly not.¡± A student said and others concurred. I smiled lightly and sat down. Chelsea red murderously at me and stomped out of the ssroom. Wow! Xavier defended me! He believed me! Could this day get any better? I dropped Chelsea¡¯s golden wristwatch on her desk and arranged my scattered things back into my backpack. *This text is ?

I sighed softly and rolled on my bed, feeling ufortable and disturbed. I need to map out my ns on how to leave the house without Emily knowing. I¡¯ll just have to try my luck and see if I can get any lead at all to meet Dney. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV ¡°Thank you so much Xavier. I didn¡¯t think you¡¯ll take side with me and defend me.¡± I smiled appreciatively at Xavier who was taking off his shoes. ¡°Yeah.¡± He mouthed, his gaze still on his shoes. ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± I smiled and turned around to leave but his voice made me hault. ¡°Dney, would you be busy?¡± He asked and he sounded nervous. I turned around and tried to hide my smile as I stared at him. He was already on his feet and he was close to me ¨C a little. I breathed out and nodded my head negatively, ¡°no. I don¡¯t really have anything to do.¡± ¡°Okay. So, I was thinking if maybe you¡±d like to go out with me after we¡¯ve had dinner. I just thought maybe we could go to some fun ces, like the beach. You don¡¯t know ces around so, I was wondering if you would agree to go with me since I could show you some really fun ces.¡± He rushed his words, not stopping to catch his breathe. I almost bursted outughing because of how tensed he looked but I stopped myself. I smiled lightly and bit the side of my cheek to prevent me from blushing too hard. Oh my! Did Xavier really say those words to me just now? Geez! This is a dreame true. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to.¡± He rolled his eyes and went to seat on his bed. ¡°No, no, no Xavier. I really want to go with you. I¡±d love to go with you and yes, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± I rushed my words, shaking my head vigorously. Gosh! Why on Earth would I want to miss such an opportunity? ¡®really?¡± He asked and smiled lightly, but the smile disappeared just the way it came. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then get prepared, after dinner, we¡±d be going out.¡± He said and without looking at me, he hastily got into another door in his room. ¡°Oh my! I¡¯m going out with Xavier!¡± I eximed happily and I didn¡¯t know when I jumped on his bed. I think I¡¯m gonna explode with joy! My heart feels like it¡¯s gonna explode because of the joy I felt. I¡¯m so happy! I giggled excitedly and continued to jump happily on his bed. * * TBC Chapter 54 ?? ALICIA¡¯s POV ?? ¡°Huh? What do you mean Alicia!¡± Mom yelled. ¡°C¡¯mon mom, aren¡¯t you tired of living this kind of a life? Besides, my father needs to know that he has another daughter. I need a father in my life mom, you know how badly I¡¯ve always wanted a father. How I¡¯ve always asked you repeatedly about my father.¡± I cried out and stood up from my chair. I was so pissed off. Why would mom act that way? ¡°Look Alicia, I didn¡¯t tell you about your father because I want you to go to him, but rather, I told you because I thought it was time you knew the truth. I didn¡¯t tell you about your father because I want you to start living with him and living a wealthy life. You aren¡¯t gonna meet him or tell him who you are!¡± Mom barked angrily, her face all red from anger. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you approve it or not but all I know is that, I¡¯m gonna go meet my father and tell him the truth. He deserves to know.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. I¡¯ve been living an ufortable life and now that I know my father is wealthy, I wouldn¡¯t let the opportunity of living wealth slip from my hand. For so many years mom, you deprived me of so many things. You deprived me of my father ¨C I never experienced the love of a father. You deprived me of living in wealth and living afortable life, just the way I¡¯ve always wanted. You¡¯re being so selfish and unfair mom!¡± I cried out and ruffled my hair angrily. ¡°I¡¯m not being selfish and unfair okay? I¡¯m doing this for your own good. I¡¯m doing this to protect you! Do you think his family would dly wee you with open arms? Do you even think your father is gonna ept you? What about his wife and daughter? Be reasonable for once Alicia! You have to think through it before you finallye up with a final decision. You don¡¯t just expect the family to wee you wholeheartedly, that¡¯s not possible!¡± Mom snapped, pacing to and fro while grandma watched us silently. I sighed lowly, seeing reason with mom said. But still, I really need to see my father and let him know he has another daughter ¨C and that is me. ¡°I don¡¯t care mom! I¡¯m going to meet him.¡± I rolled my eyes dramatically. ¡°You don¡¯t even know what your father did to me! You don¡¯t know the pain he made me go through! You don¡¯t know what he made me go through!

We had eaten dinner earlier and Xavier¡¯s mom had helped me dressed. She was so happy when I told her about Xavier taking me out. She made sure she beautified my face even if it was a little bit dark. I allowed her work magic on my face and hair. * We chatted happily as we watched the slow waves from the sea. The ce was cold and different persons were there too. We sat on the cool beach sand and watched the sea. It was a beautiful sight and I couldn¡¯t help but grin happily to myself. ¡°It¡¯s cool right?¡± I asked Xavier and pointed at the sea. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s a lovely sight especially at night like this.¡± He smiled lightly. ¡°And the stars made it more beautiful and magical. It¡¯s really a beautiful sight to behold.¡± I giggled lightly and took my gaze to the twinkling stars. They shone brightly on the sea, making the sea sparkle. ¡°I¡¯m d you like this ce.¡± He whispered with a small smile. ¡°Thank you for bringing me here.¡± I smiled and snuggled up closer to him ¨C and I was surprised and happy, that he allowed me to. * * HERA¡¯s POV I sneaked out of the house in the night ¨C it wasn¡¯t entirely dark. I wanted to see if I could get to meet someone that knows Dney and where I can find her. As I walked absent-mindedly on the road, I didn¡¯t know a moving car wasing close to me, till Inded not too hard on the floor. I winced lightly and got up. Thank goodness, I didn¡¯t sustain serious injury but there was a little scratch on my elbow and knee. The door of the car opened. I strained my eyes in the darkness and the cute male I had seen on the TV and also reality, was walking towards me. I smiled shyly and moved closer to him too. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you watch where you were going to? You¡¯re so clumsy!¡± He grumbled, staring at me. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I apologized, not knowing exactly why I had apologized. He looks grumpy and arrogant but still, he looks so beautiful and that was what had drawn me to him, especially those beautiful eyes. ¡°Take, treat yourself in case you sustained any injury.¡± He said rudely and squeezed some money in my palm. Without saying anything, he walked back gracefully to his car. I stood agape as I watched him enter into the car. As the car drove away, my eyes caught with a girl in the car and because the car moved slowly, I got a clearer view of the girl. And oh my! ¡°Dney?¡± I yelled in shock but the car sped off. ¡°Dney!¡± I screamed again as I ran after the car. * * TBC Chapter 55 ?? HERA¡¯s POV ?? I continued to run after the car but it was driving too fast. I stopped running to catch my breath ¨C I was panting heavily. I bent a little holding my knee with one hand and the with my other hand on my chest as I continued to breath tiredly. Gosh! I could swear that I saw Dney. She was the girl in the car. Oh God! Why did I have to loose her? I was so close to getting her. Didn¡¯t she see me or she pretended not to see me? Gosh! How do I get to see her again? I really need to get that ne from her. Now, I was so close to getting her but I lost her. Damn it! * * DELANEY¡¯s POV I don¡¯t know if I was just hallucinating that I heard someone call out to me. And the girl Xavier had hit, I didn¡¯t get to see her properly but she looked doubtfully familiar. ¡°Hey, are you okay?¡± Xavier turned to look at me briefly before focusing back on the road. ¡°Yeah. Why?¡± I replied and stared at him. ¡°You look lost. Before I had hit the girl, you were cheerful and you wouldn¡¯t stop grinning but now, your face¡­ You look dull and lost.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. I just thought maybe I heard someone call me, but it¡¯s fine. Maybe I was hallucinating.¡± I shrugged and smiled. ¡°Okay. If you say so.¡± He smirked and took a quick nce at me. I smiled broadly and stared as he focused on the road, ¡°I say so.¡± * * XAVIER¡¯s POV Okay, I didn¡¯t actually know how it happened. I didn¡¯t even know what gave me the gut to ask Dney to go out with me to the beach side. I didn¡¯t regret one bit with her at the beach. She was happy and really cheerful. I don¡¯t know why the sudden change I have towards her. I seriously don¡¯t know where it¡¯sing from. I smiled to myself as I watched her drift slowly into sleep. I used one of my hands to ce her head properly on the car head rest and she stirred lightly. She smiled and it looks like her smile was contagious because I smiled too. * * ¡°How was the outing son!¡± Mom squealed enthusiastically as Dney and I entered into the sitting room ¨C where mom was already waiting eagerly for us. ¡°Argh! It was fine mom.¡± I breathed out and spread out my arms. ¡®really? Dney did you enjoy the view from the beach?¡± She asked sweetly. ¡°Yeah. It was fun.¡± Dney smiled shyly and looked at me briefly before turning back to look at mom. ¡°I¡¯m so proud of you son! You should take her out more often.¡± Mom giggled and kissed my cheeks. ¡°Yeah, sure. So, kind I go to my room now? I¡¯m tired and dizzy already.¡± I gave her a tight lip smile. ¡®sure, sure, son. You must be really exhausted. You should go to bed so you would wake up early for school tomorrow.¡± Mom giggled. ¡°Alright mom. Goodnight.¡± I kissed her cheeks and made for the stairs. ¡°Night son.¡± Her voice trailed after me. ¡°And goodnight Dney.¡± I called out, smiling sheepishly to myself. I heard a loud gasped and it seems to havee from mom. Gosh! Mom can be so dramatic. ¡°Did you just say that Xavier?¡± Mom yelled. I shook my head andughed loudly. ¡°Night too Xavier.¡± I heard Dney¡¯s voice. * * I took my bath and wore my pyjamas. I set my rm and plonked hard my bed. I was so tired that as soon as my back touched the bed, I yawned and fell asleep. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV ¡°Okay, look Dney, this isn¡¯t easy for me to do but I¡¯ve got no choice than to do it. I¡¯m doing this because of Xavier and no one else.¡± I told Dney as I eyed her disdainfully. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are saying Chelsea.¡± She arched her brows. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m saying sorry for what happened the previous day. I¡¯m not epting the fact that I tried to frame you, no, I would never do that. I¡¯m apologizing because Xavier told me to do so. And it would be best if you would tell him that I already apologized.¡± I rolled my eyes and hissed. ¡°Oh! You can keep your pathetic sorry to yourself, I don¡¯t need it. You should swallow your pride before your pride swallows you.¡± She smirked. What? Did she just say that to me? ¡°Did you just open that mouth of yours to speak to me that way?¡± I seethed angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t see anyone in front of me except you and that means, I just said those words to you.¡± She said, sounding so bold. ¡°Bitch! You¡¯re being bitchy because you live with Xavier huh? It¡¯s gonna be over very soon and you¡±d be back to the street where you belong.¡± I red murderously at her. ¡°You should find something meaningful to do with your life instead of going about being proud and pompous. You wouldn¡¯t gain anything. Now, if you would excuse me I have better things to do than standing here and exchanging words with you.¡± She smirked triumphantly at me. She made to leave but I yanked her hair hard. She winced and removed my grip from her hair. ¡°You should know your limit you lowlife.¡± I seethed angrily, ring hard at her. ¡®really? You¡¯re really so cheap.¡± She chuckled mockingly. Okay, where the hell is she getting such guts from? Is this Dney or her doppelganger? This can¡¯t be that Dney that looks like she don¡¯t even know even the tiniest bit of insult. I raised my hand to smack her hard on the face but someone caught my hand just in the mid air. What the hell? I gasped as I stared at the person that held my hand. To Be Continued¡­ (TBC)This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Chapter 56 ?? DELANEY¡¯s POV ?? I smirked as I saw the priceless face on Chelsea¡¯s face. I didn¡¯t know where the gut came from to talk back at Chelsea but I just found myself talking back at her. Xavier was actually the one that prevented her from smacking me on my face. He held her hand in the mid air and red at her. ¡°Xa¡­vier¡­¡± Her voice quivered in shock as she stared with so much shock written all over her face. ¡®really? You were going to hit her?¡± Xavier scoffed and brought down her hand.

Xavier held my hands and we both walked out of the field together. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV Gosh! Like what the hell? I thought Xavier didn¡¯t like her. What¡¯s with him these days huh? I can¡¯t believe he actually took sides with her again and stopped me from smacking her hard on her face. I feel really angry that I feel like punching and destroying things. Who does she thinks she is huh? She shouldn¡¯t just worry, I¡¯m gonna turn Xavier against her. Our first n wasme and it didn¡¯t work but not the second n. It¡¯s gonna work and I¡¯m gonna make sure of that. She shouldn¡¯t feel like a queen for too long because very soon, I¡¯ll finally put her in the ce she deserves ¨C out on the street with no roof over her head. Now because of her, Xavier is soon gonna despise me and I won¡¯t let that happen. I won¡¯t let her take Xavier away from me, just like that.

She looked so hurt and it¡¯s the first time I¡¯m seeing mom cry this way. She looked pained ¨C like she¡¯s fighting demons and painful memories. How selfish I was! I didn¡¯t even think about her feelings and now, I feel so stupid and I regret ever spitting out those words rudely to her. I feel like a bad and ungrateful child. Mom¡¯s been there for me, she was both my mother and the father I never knew of. Everything has a reason and I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a reason why my dad and her aren¡¯t together. Why didn¡¯t I think about it? I let wealth get into me without considering how my mom would feel about the decision. ¡°I¡¯m sorry mom.

Iughed lightly and went out of her room. * * XAVIER¡¯s POV I watched from under my eyshes as Dney chewed on her cracker pizza. During lunch, it¡¯s one of her favorite ¨C cracker pizza and Mott¡¯s apple juice box. She slurped from her apple juice box and licked her lips with relish. Oh my! She looked f^cking cute when she licked her lips. ¡°What? Is there something on my face?¡± Dney suddenly asked as she caught me staring at her. Geez! ¡°Huh! Yes, no, I mean no.¡± Iughed at my own nervousness. Geez! ¡°But you¡¯ve been staring at me and you haven¡¯t even touched your food yet.¡± She insisted, staring at me. ¡°Okay, well there¡¯s a little piece of pizza at the side of your lips.¡± I gulped down and stared at my untouched lunch. ¡®really? I¡¯m so clumsy.¡± She grumbled and wiped the side of her lips. There was really something there but she wasn¡¯t cleaning the right spot.

I used my thumb to wipe off the piece of pizza and smirked at her. ¡°Here.¡± I showed her my thumb. ¡°Oh!¡± She mouthed shyly.

You should have just eaten from mine instead.¡± She said and focused back on her meal. ¡°The one from the side of your lips tasted better.¡± I winked at her. She smacked the back of my palm lightly and when I took my gaze to look at her, she stuck out her tongue mockingly. I gave her a yful re and sipped gently from my juice box. * * CHELSEA¡¯s POV I smiled with so much enthusiasm as I alighted from my car. I breathed in and out and ced my backpack properly on my shoulder. Still smiling like someone who¡¯ve won a lottery, I made my way into the house. The idea Brianna brought was so good and I so much love it. I¡¯m definitely sure it¡¯ll make Xavier to detest Dney. But there¡¯s still a little problem ¨C how to convince Rio to help us carry out the n. His help is really needed in the n Brianna brought out. There¡¯s no way I can make him do it by trying to give him money ; because he has money too. But I¡¯m gonna try my best so as to convince Rio to help with the n.

Okay, I just told her what Xavier did to me at the cafeteria ¨C by taking off a piece of my cracker pizza and licking it and saying it taste like me. ¡°Yeah, he did that.¡± I shrugged and sat properly on her bed. ¡°Wow Dney! That¡¯s so nice!¡± She giggled happily. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked, not really getting the entire reason why she¡¯s all enthusiastic about what I told her. I wasn¡¯t expecting her to get mad at me or Xavier but I still wasn¡¯t expecting her to be this excited. ¡°This is a good step Dney! A good step.¡± She smiled. ¡°A good step for what or towards what?¡± I asked with a creased eyebrows. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Laney.

So, about me trying to frame you which is totally not true, I want to apologise sincerely. I¡¯m sorry for using you because I had a rethink and I think you aren¡¯t guilty. So, I¡¯m apologizing.¡± I rounded off my short apology speech that didn¡¯te from my heart. It was tough saying those words to her, but I had to and I think I need an de for a drama well acted. I studied her expression and she looked really shocked and surprised. Probably, because I look sincere. Tch! In her dreams! ¡°It¡¯s fine Chelsea. I¡¯m sorry for talking back at you rudely the other day, I didn¡¯t know why I was being rude. And I¡¯m happy you¡¯ve finallye to ept that I didn¡¯t steal your wristwatch and you¡¯vee to apologize to me too.¡± She smiled and her eyes lit up. I mentally rolled my eyes and huffed disdainfully at her. I gave her a faux smile and nodded my head. ¡®sure. So, am I forgiven?¡± ¡°Yeah, sure. You know Chelsea, I really admire you but I¡¯ve always wondered why you don¡¯t like me. I didn¡¯t offend you but I knew you didn¡¯t like me.¡± She sighed softly. ¡°I don¡¯t hate you.¡± I simply said. ¡°Alright.¡± I forced a tight lip smile and turned to leave, ¡°and don¡¯t forget to let Xavier know that I already apologized.¡± I secretly rolled my eyes and walked out of the field. * * ¡°We need to talk Rio.¡± I whispered and dragged Rio into the empty chemistry Lab. He arched his eyebrows and stared curiously at me. ¡°Okay? What is it?¡± He asked. ¡°Firstly, do you like Dney?¡± I asked with a slight frown. Heughed and looked at me like I¡¯ve just uttered the most unheard word. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t like Dney?¡± He scoffed and smiled. ¡°Well, whatever! I need your help.¡± I said softly. He ran his eyes all over my body and nced sideways. ¡°Okay, what do you need my help for?¡± He asked impatiently. ¡°It¡¯s about Xavier and Dney.¡± ¡°Okay? What does that have to do with me?¡± He asked and rolled his eyes. ¡°Well¡­¡± I itched the back of my head. ¡°Xavier and I are ying a game and for me to win, I need your help.¡± I liked smoothly, giving him one of my cute smiles. ¡°Okay, can you just go straight to the point?

No, I can¡¯t do that!¡± Rio shook his head negatively. I scrunched up my face and rolled my eyes at him. Like seriously, I know he was gonna object but not so blunt like this. I had whispered the n into his ears and as I stared at his face which didn¡¯t agree to what I¡¯ve said, I frowned my face harder. What¡¯s with this guy huh? An opportunity for him to be closer to Dney and he¡¯s refusing such opportunity and offer. But I ain¡¯t backing down. I¡¯ll definitely persuade him and if he doesn¡¯t agree, then I have another n. ¡°Why Rio? It¡¯s a lifetime opportunity for you to be closer or who knows, an item with Dney. Why are you rejecting such offer?¡± I scoffed and folded my arms under my boobs and scanned him with eyes. ¡®really Chelsea? You want me to frame Dney because of what exactly?¡± He rolled his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s also an opportunity for you to be closer to Dney and I¡¯m doing you good by telling you to agree with the n. We are both helping ourselves.¡± I smiled lightly and walked closer to him, covering the remaining space in between us. I ced my hand on his chest and used my other hand to y with his tie. ¡°Please Rio, I know you like f^cking girls and I have them ready for you and they¡¯re ready to give you the best s^x styles ¨C only if you¡±d agree to the n.¡± I licked my lips and winked at him. He pushed me lightly and sighed deeply. ¡°Do you really think low of me that much? If I want to f^ck some girls, I know where I can get them and it¡¯s never hard getting tons of girls to satisfy me. Please Chelsea, leave me out of this. I don¡¯t want to be a part of your so-called n. I can¡¯t frame Dney and I won¡¯t do it.¡± He scoffed and turned around to leave. ¡°Please Rio, you¡¯ve got to help me out.¡± I begged calmly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Chelsea. And please keep me out of this. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell Xavier since the n wouldn¡¯t be carried out.¡± He said and walked out of the Lab. I huffed ridiculously with my both hands on my waist as I watched him leave. Seriously? He¡¯s proving stubborn right? Well, then I¡¯ll have to go with the second n and Rio is gonna be part of it, without his knowledge and consent. * *This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

Why don¡¯t you apany me to the Maddox mansion so you could get to meet the son properly. You can make friends with him and with his wealth, I think he¡¯ll be able to help you find this Dney and you¡¯ll be able to get back the ne.¡± She smiled and winked at me. My heart jumped in excitement ¨C the son might help me in finding Dney only if I just be friends with him. That would be great! This is the best news I¡¯ve heard since I got here! ¡°When do we go?¡± I asked enthusiastically. ¡°Now, if you want. I bet he¡¯ll be home by now.¡± She beamed. ¡®really?

I¡¯m very sure the son would love pretty girls.¡± Emily smiled at me through the mirror. I blushed and touched my face ; still feeling awed. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get you dressed so we¡¯ll look even more pretty and the son would surely wouldn¡¯t be able to take his eyes of you.¡± She shed me a smile and made me stand up from the chair. She went to my wardrobe and started ransacking through. I sighed and watched her scatter my wardrobe, looking for whatever she wants. After minutes of searching through, she finally pulled out a cloth that I didn¡¯t know its name. ¡°This would look great on you!¡± She eximed happily, showing me the cloth. * After dressing up, I looked at myself on the mirror and smiled for the umpteenth time.

His hands were tucked in inside his trouser pockets as we made our way into the schoolpound. Students screamed happily as usual while Xavier just ignored them as if they weren¡¯t chanting his name. He walked majestically while I kept my head bent, feeling bashful as usual. Chelsea walked up to us with a smile and entwined their hands together. She shed Xavier a charming smile but Xavier ignored her and I could tell she felt really hurt because of the way he ignored her but she covered it up with a faux smile. I chuckled mockingly but Chelsea¡¯s hard re on me made me keep shut and pretend as if I hadn¡¯t made any sound seconds ago. I know her apologies to me weren¡¯t sincere but I had to y along. She isn¡¯t genuine and I don¡¯t like her. She¡¯s good at pretending and I¡¯m never going to fall for her fake lies and pretence.

I mentally hissed as I listened to them. She¡¯s just like a pest! ¡°Okay Xavier.¡± She pouted. And the rest of the walk to the ssroom was quiet with just the sound of our shoes on the floor. * * ???? ALICIA¡¯s POV ???? ¡°Grandma, are you okay? You look pale.¡± I asked grandma and ced the back of my palm on her forehead. ¡°Jesus!¡± I screamed and quickly removed my hand from her forehead as her temperature was high. It literally burned the back of my palm. ¡°You¡¯re burning up grandma!¡± I panicked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing Alicia, it¡¯s just a little fever but don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± She smiled sadly and touched my cheek. ¡°Grandma! You don¡¯t look fine to me! Have you taken any drug?¡± I asked worriedly. ¡°Yeah, but that was in the morning.¡± She shrugged. ¡°Are you for real? Geez grandma!¡± I sighed and ced my hand on my forehead and paced worriedly in the room. ¡®stop panicking okay, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Grandma said softly, her voice barely audible. She got down from her bed and started towards the toilet. ¡°I want to pee.¡± She smiled lightly, holding the walls for support because she was weak.

Why theughter?¡± I asked. ¡°You should Brianna, she started it first.¡± ir chuckled softly. ¡®so Brianna?¡± I red yfully at her. She wiped her tears and stood up from the bed, facing ir and I. ¡°I wasughing at how foolish Chelsea is. She¡¯s just falling into every of our trap. She doesn¡¯t know we also have something big for her, a great shock she isn¡¯t gonna expect. She wouldn¡¯t even know who¡¯s behind it and Xavier is sure gonna detest her. The n is a huge one. We¡¯ll be killing two birds with one stone at once.¡± Brianna smirked triumphantly. My face lit up and ir squeaked happily. Eish! ¡°Oh my! She¡¯s sure gonna be in a lot of shock in a few days time.

We did high five and went to our ways. * ¡°Rio, let¡¯s meet at the boys restroom. I have something important to tell you.¡± I texted hurriedly with Xavier¡¯s phone, while ir stood at the door watching out for me, in case, a student is about toe in. When the message read sent, I deleted it and quickly kept back Xavier¡¯s phone in his backpack. I gave ir a signal and we both left the ssroom. We had all gone out for sport and when Brielle gave signal that Rio and Xavier weren¡¯t together, we came into the ssroom. We were fortunate enough because Xavier left his phone and it made our work more easier. Now, it¡¯s Dney¡¯s turn. * * BRIELLE¡¯s POV I dragged Dney by her wrist ¨C not very hard though, as we made our way to the boys restroom. ¡°Huh? I thought you said you wanted to talk to me privately, why did you bring me here? This is the boys restroom and we aren¡¯t supposed to be here.¡± She panicked and withdrew her hands from mine. ¡°I know. Please Dney, hear me out.¡± I feigned a sad pout. ¡°No Brielle! Whatever you have to say must be said somewhere else and not in the boys restroom.¡± She said adamantly.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Eish! Who knew this girl would be as tough as this. ¡°You talk too much.¡± I groaned angrily. And immediately, the lights of the boys restroom went off. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV Huh? I panicked in fear as the lights in the boys restroom went off. ¡°Brielle?¡± I called but I didn¡¯t hear any sound. Everywhere was totally dark that I could barely even move for fear of hitting my head against something. I heard footsteps and I became afraid. ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± I asked aloud, with so much fear vibrating in my body. ¡°Dney?¡± I heard Rio¡¯s voice but I was too weak to answer. I¡¯m afraid of the dark and especially when I¡¯m alone. I stood rooted in one spot, looking so lost and afraid. I was literally shaking in fear. And just then, the lights came up. ¡°Dney!¡± Rio called again but it was as if my soul had left my body because of how scared I was. As if my soul returned to my body, I started walking slowly to meet Rio. As I ran to meet him, I suddenly slipped because of the water I didn¡¯t know was poured all over the floor. Rio was quick to hold me firmly by my waist but because he wasn¡¯t having stamina because of the slippery floor, we both fell on the floor with me on top of him. My breast was pressed against his chest and our faces were just few inches away. Our gazes locked and neither of us were willing to look away first. And just when his lips were about touching mine¡­ ¡°Rio? Dney?¡± Xavier¡¯s angry voice thundered in the restroom. * * TBC Chapter 62 ?? HERA¡¯s POV ?? We got to the house Emily works and because I¡¯ve been there before, I wasn¡¯t too fascinated with whatever strange things I saw. I suddenly felt nervous. Is the son gonna like me? Will he agree to help me look for Dney? Oh God! I hope I¡¯m pretty enough for the son to like? I breathed in and out as the door was opened by¡­ I take a look because this is the same dress Emily wore the other time we came. ¡°Come on in, don¡¯t be nervous okay? You¡¯ve been here before.¡± Emily cooed as we entered into the beautiful sitting room. ¡°I¡¯m not nervous because I¡¯m here, I¡¯m nervous because I¡¯ll be meeting the son and I¡¯m scared ¨C scared that, if the son would like me. I don¡¯t know if the son would like me and agree to be friends with me.¡± I sighed lowly. ¡°The son don¡¯t bite okay? There¡¯s nothing to be nervous and scared off. Don¡¯t worry, everything would go on fine.¡± She smiled assuringly at me. After Emily had changed into her work clothes, she came to the kitchen and started bringing out the things she needed. I sat on a stool and watched her and two other cook, cook the food. ¡°He went to school early but he¡±d be back before we¡¯ll leave.¡± Emily whispered to me. I nodded my head and rubbed my sweaty palms together. * * DELANEY¡¯s POV I quickly got up from Rio¡¯s body and turned to look at Xavier who was standing in the middle of the doorway with Chelsea beside him ¨C clingy as usual. ¡°Xavier, it¡¯s not what you think.¡± I tried to exin, seeing the angry stare he had on his face. Even if he was a bit far from where I stood, I could still clearly read his expression. He looked clearly upset and I felt so guilty. Will he believe me it¡¯s not what he thinks? That, perhaps it was the n of the B3 girls? Argh! I hate it when Xavier¡¯s mad at me ¨C I don¡¯t want him to be mad at me. ¡°You should continue with what you where doing.¡± He scoffed irritably and left the restroom, with Chelsea beside him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Rio apologized calmly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be, it¡¯s none of our fault. I¡¯ll just talk to Xavierter, maybe when he¡¯s less angry and he¡±d hear me out ¡± I sighed sadly. ¡°Okay. But I think this was nned.¡± Rio said, he sounded angry but I could tell he tried to suppress his voiceing out hard and angry, but he couldn¡¯t. ¡°Yeah. I¡¯ll just go.¡± I said lowly and left the restroom. * * XAVIER¡¯s POV F^cking s*it! I cussed inwardly. I felt so vexed by the close proximity of Rio and Dney, they had even kissed. I know they might have ended up making out if I didn¡¯t arrive at the scene on time. But howe? What was Dney doing in the boys restroom and how did Chelsea know? Actually, Chelsea hade to inform me that, she caught Rio and Dney smooching in the boys restroom. I didn¡¯t want to believe her but she urged me to follow her so see for myself and I agreed. How did Chelsea know that Rio and Dney where in the boys restroom? What had she gone to do there? She has a lot of exnations to tell but for the meantime, I¡¯m highly disappointed with Rio. I can¡¯t f^cking believe Rio would go behind my back to do such a thing to Dney. And Dney is too na?ve to understand what exactly Rio is trying to do with her. Rio ¨C that f^cking c*nt! I¡¯m gonna deal with him.

Still, mom couldn¡¯t even raise quarter of the surgical bills. The doctor had told us that if we don¡¯t find the money on time, grandma is gonna die. And that is what mom and I don¡¯t want. Grandma had suffered a lot and she doesn¡¯t deserve to die yet ¨C she has to enjoy the good things of life before she dies. I have so many ns for her and she can¡¯t just die yet. * ¡°Mom, were you able to get any money?¡± I asked worriedly as mom plonked her tired self on the couch. ¡°No. And time is running out. I don¡¯t want your grandma to die.¡± Mom sniffed in. ¡°It¡¯s okay mom, grandma isn¡¯t gonna die.¡± I cooed softly and ced her head on my shoulder. * * I¡¯ve been in deep thoughts and I seriously need to tell mom. After serious and critical thinking, I finally decided to do something I know mom¡¯s gonna reject but it¡¯s for the betterment of grandma¡¯s health. I got down from my bed and slipped my legs into my slippers. I left my room and went to mom¡¯s. ¡°Alicia, you aren¡¯t asleep yet?¡± Mom asked. I sat on top of her bed and shook my head negatively. ¡°I couldn¡¯t bring myself to take my afternoon siesta because I¡¯ve been thinking.¡± I sighed sadly. ¡°What is it? What¡¯s bothering you?¡± She asked curiously, staring intently at me. ¡°It¡¯s about grandma¡¯s surgical bills. Time is not on our side and after thinking through, I finally got a suggestion.¡± I breathed out. ¡®so?¡± She urged me. ¡°I know how we can get grandma¡¯s bills.¡± I muttered, suddenly feeling nervous of how her reaction would be like. ¡°Okay? Let me hear it.¡±Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Well¡­ Let¡¯s meet my father and ask for his help. You can as well introduce me as his daughter and I¡¯m sure he¡±d be ready to pay grandma¡¯s bills.¡± I stuttered. Mom¡¯s eyes nearly popped out from its socket as she red angrily at me. ¡°What! What did you just say?¡± * * TBC Chapter 63 ?? HERA¡¯s POV ?? ¡°Hera, we¡¯ve got to go now.

Can¡¯t we wait a little longer?¡± I asked, feeling rather despondent. I¡¯ve been so eager to meet the son and now Emily is saying this? Gosh! After getting my hope so high. ¡°We can¡¯t Hera, in fact, we have to leave immediately. It¡¯s an emergency and dy is dangerous. Maybe another time you¡¯ll get to meet him.¡± She said hurriedly, ncing through her phone anxiously. ¡°Okay, fine. Let¡¯s go.¡± I grumbled and stood up from the couch. I didn¡¯t spare her a nce as I started towards the door. I felt rather exasperated. ¡°Hera dear, please don¡¯t be upset okay? There¡¯s a next time.¡± She cooed softly as she ran up to me. ¡°No, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a next time.¡± I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the house. I breathed out and sighed sadly. ¡°Hera¡­¡± She sighed and held onto my arm. ¡°You don¡¯t know his important it is for me to look for Dney ¨C the girl with the ne. Time is not on my side and my mother¡¯s life is at risk, so as the throne. I¡¯ve got to be fast else, everything my mother worked very hard for would go down the drain.

The gate automatically opened by itself and a car drove in. The car drove into thepound and I peered my eyes to see who it was in the car.

Or perhaps her mother works here? I really don¡¯t know all the workers in the house because I really don¡¯t care about them. So, maybe her mother is one of the workers in the mansion. I was the first to alight before Dney. She walkedzily, dragging her feet on the floor as we made our way into the house. I was about cing my hand on the door knob when her hand touched mine ¨C she was also going to open the door. We both stared at each other and I was the first to look away. I removed my hand from hers while she opened the door. There was this spark I felt as our hands touched. There was this feeling I couldn¡¯t point my finger to. It was strange and new to me.

I sighed softly and walked out of the restroom, heading to the ssroom. Even as I walk through the hallway, my mind wasn¡¯t at rest. I felt so bothered because of the video I had seen. It looked so real and it definitely wasn¡¯t edited. But why would she stoop so low. It¡¯s something I never expected from her because she isn¡¯t a b^tch like the other girls who unt themselves at me and let me f*ck them. Even if she¡¯s clingy, she isn¡¯t who I saw in that video. * * BRIELLE¡¯s POV ¡°Oh my! You should have seen Xavier¡¯s face as he walked out of the restroom.

I just couldn¡¯t wait to talk to Xavier and say bad things about Dney. And I hope he hasn¡¯t forgiven her yet and he should still be angry at her. This is a perfect opportunity for me. * During lunch break, students were started murmuring with their gazes on their phones and some students were pointing fingers at me. Huh? What¡¯s going on? From murmuring, it became serious as the ss became rowdy with different voices around every corner. Their gaze were just on their phones and some stares at me¡­ I just couldn¡¯t understand what exactly was going on. ¡°Chelsea! You need to check your phone. The news is everywhere.¡± A student said, but I could sense a glint of mockery in her tone. I sighed and brought my phone from my backpack. I logged in into our ss website and I was utterly gob-smacked as I watched the video. What¡¯s that the reason Xavier had totally ignored me earlier today? Does he already know about the video? But who could have done this and when? But wait, when did this sort of a thing happen? I can¡¯t remember such a thing happening to me. ¡°Cheap whore!¡± Students mocked at me. My phone fell from my hands and I didn¡¯t know when I fell on my knees. I felt so humiliated and ashamed. How and when did this happen? A video of me having sex with a stranger? A guy I don¡¯t even know. How did I end up on his bed? Why can¡¯t I remember anything? Was I framed? But who could have done it? Oh God! The B3 girls have exnations to give me because they were the ones I had hung out with and I¡¯m definitely sure that was when this stuff happened. They would probably know a thing or two about the video. But it hurts! Would I call it rape or what? I can¡¯t even remember a thing no matter how hard I tried. This is definitely a set-up and I must find the person and I swear¡­ I would deal greatly with that person. But what about Xavier? What does he even intend to do if he had probably seen the video? I guess he¡±d be so disappointed at me. The students continued to say taunting words but I was too weak to even reply to any of their insults. The booing stopped. When I raised my head to check the reason for their quietness, I saw Xavier and my heart gave a mighty leap. And what! Brielle was beside him and holding onto his arms and she had a huge grin on her face. * * TBC Chapter 67 XAVIER¡¯s POV Brielle had met me in the chemistry Lab and as a b*tch that she is, she started making advances towards me. She pushed up her boobs so I could have a clearer view of her artificial boobs and then, she raised her already mini skirt so I could have a view of skinny thigh.

And I didn¡¯t fail to notice a smirk that was stered on her face. I pretended to flow with her because I was shocked she had spoken that way about Chelsea. I know Chelsea and the three of them are friends and so, I was surprised Brielle had spoken that way. She¡¯s just as loose as other girls and Rio had even had the opportunity to have s*x with her but he rejected her. She¡¯s cheap but tries to act expensive. Pretending to flow with her, I might get an important information from her because I still doubt that Chelsea could have sex with someone ¨C not as if she can¡¯t, but I¡¯m still surprised. And why was the scene video? Who video it? ¡°Yeah, I saw it.¡± I had replied. ¡°You see, Chelsea is really a b*tch. She had sex with a guy she just met in a club.¡± She scoffed, like she¡¯s any different. ¡®really? I thought you were friends with her?¡± I had asked. ¡°Oh Xavier! You¡¯re funny.¡± She hadughed, not a good one though, but aughter that clearly meant, she was speechless. When I had wanted to leave for the ss, she begged me that she wanted us to walk together holding hands. I reluctantly agreed because I needed to y along so I could get information from her because I don¡¯t trust her one bit. * * Brielle was still clingy towards me and I could see a smirk of triumph stered on her face as she stared at Chelsea. Chelsea stood up and walked to meet us. ¡°You, what are you doing with Xavier?¡± Chelsea asked, pointing her index finger at Brielle. Brielle scoffed and held onto my arm more tightly and I felt like pushing her hard away from me. ¡°You¡¯re too cheap and you don¡¯t deserve someone like Xavier.¡± Brielle whispered. I didn¡¯t even utter a word as I watched the both of themmunicate angrily with their expression and eyes. * * RIO¡¯s POV ¡°Hey buddy.¡± I sighed lowly as I sat beside Xavier on his booth.

He looked hesitantly at me before taking the phone from me. ¡°What! I didn¡¯t send you this message.¡± He huffed disbelievingly. ¡°You didn¡¯t?¡± I asked. It was the message Xavier had sent to me to meet him at the boys restroom that he wanted to talk to me and that was when the incident of Dney and I happened. ¡®swears, I didn¡¯t. I wasn¡¯t even with my phone that day.¡± He said. ¡®really? So, if you didn¡¯t send the message then who did?¡± I asked and crossed my arms. He looked at the phone and his expression suddenly changed, like he had gotten a lead. ¡°The time this message was sent was just few minutes after Chelsea came to meet me and tell me that you and Dney were both making out in the restroom. And that message isn¡¯t even in my phone ¨C meaning, the sender deleted it so I wouldn¡¯t find out.¡± He blurted out in shock. ¡°Wow.¡± I was speechless. ¡°Are you thinking what I¡¯m thinking?¡± He asked. ¡°That maybe it was nned?¡± I reasoned. ¡°Exactly!¡± He stomped his fist on the desk. ¡®so, you believe me now right?¡± I asked hopefully. ¡°Yeah. I¡±d just talk to Chelsea and ask her questions. I think she knows what happened.¡± He sighed. ¡°Yeah. Thanks buddy.¡± I smiled. ¡°Thank you.

Yeah, he¡¯s angry and I wonder why. Perhaps it¡¯s because he also watched The video of Chelsea and a male doing Something I really didn¡¯t understand. But ording to thements the Students were making, it seems to be A bad thing. I didn¡¯t watch the video but I had a Glimpse of it and I couldn¡¯t even Understand what was going on. But I could tell it was what made Xavier angry because I had seen him Talk to Rio like he usually does and Certainly, it can¡¯t be Rio that made him Angry. And me? I already apologized to him Even if I wasn¡¯t wrong and he said he Had forgiven me, so he can¡¯t be Possibly mad at me. And Chelsea, he hasn¡¯t spoken even a Word to her.

She was blushing even to the root of her hair. ¡°Xavier, what are you doing?¡± She asked, feeling bashful. When I wouldn¡¯t let her leave, she unconsciously removed her hand from the tip of her towel and poked my chest. At as she did that, her towel dropped down on the floor. What! I bent my head to look down and I immediately took my eyes to stare at her and hugged her tightly to myself so I wouldn¡¯t get a good view of her boobs.

He wasn¡¯t smiling as he took it from me. ¡°You can open it.¡± He hesitated for a while before he opened the box. He stared at the ne and it was a long stare ¨C like he was trying to remember something. It can¡¯t be right? He doesn¡¯t know who it belongs to right?

The cafeteria was filled and the students were quiet ¨C and that¡¯s because, Rio and I were both standing in front of them and they already had the idea that I was gonna say something.

I badly want Xavier to choose me and thinking about it, I should be the one he ought to choose. We¡¯ve been friends for years now and apart from Rio before Dney showed up, I was the only one privileged to go close to Xavier and also touch him. I did things to Xavier that other students couldn¡¯t do. I get to chat happily with him not ignoring me, tease him and touch him. And I¡¯ve always been the envy of all other girls. I know girls have always wanted to be in my shoes and that had boosted my ego. The cafeteria was dead quiet as all eyes were on Xavier, expecting him to call his prom. The suspense was killing and I just couldn¡¯t wait for him to call out my name so the students would chant my praises. He wasn¡¯t saying anything, not looking at a particr person, just looking ahead with a straight face. Oh God! Let Xavier call my name! I prayed within. Dney didn¡¯t say anything and she looked lost, and also less interested. She just stared at Xavier, not having that expectant or happy look like Xavier is gonna say something very important. Well, good for me. * ¡®so, my prom date would be Dney!¡± Xavier suddenly broke the long silence that had made the girls, especially me so nervous. I heard a loud bang on my head as he said those words. What! Dney? But how? How did it happen? Why wasn¡¯t I choosed? ¡°Dney pleasee forward.¡± Rio said with a smile while the students apuded her.

Why were the students especially the girls casting hateful res at me. I shyly stood up from my booth and took slow and nervous strides towards Xavier and Rio who were both standing in front of the cafeteria. Xavier was smiling and Rio? He was grinning so hard. What¡¯s making them happy? Is it something I should happy about too? I got yo where Xavier stood in particr and with a small smile on his face, he handed me a small rose flower. My face heat up and I¡¯m sure it would have gone all red. My stomach churned and I felt butterflies dance happily in my stomach ¨C I couldn¡¯t exin the feeling but I felt more than happiness. I felt different, uniquely different. I took the flower from him and ced it in my nose, perceiving the sweet smell. ¡°Thank you.¡± I whispered shyly. He nodded his head and hugged me. The cafeteria was filled with happy shouts and wide pping ovations. I felt happy, even though I didn¡¯t understand what exactly was going on. As we were still locked in the embrace, I saw Chelsea running out with tears on her face. Huh? Before she got out of the door, she red at me with loathe in her eyes and I couldn¡¯t help but wonder why. And then, she ran out of the door. What¡¯s wrong with her? Is she perhaps angry that Xavier and I were both hugging each other? * * HERA¡¯s POV ¡°Emily please¡­¡± I whined for the umpteenth time with a pout. Emily groaned and shook her head.

I wanted to work as a maid in the house and Emily had tried to talk me out of it but I insisted. After interrogations from the woman, she told me to give her just few minutes and she¡¯ll get back to me. * My heart was beating loudly and I felt so nervous. I really want her to employ me so I¡±d be able to achieve my aim. I need to be in the house. ¡°You¡¯re nervous, aren¡¯t you?¡± The woman beamed at me, but I was too nervous to answer so instead, I nodded my head. ¡°Alright. Uhm¡­¡± She started with a straight face, staring intently at me. I gulped down nothing and hoped for the best. ¡°Well, uhm, you¡¯re hired.¡± * * TBC Hmm There Is Fire On The Mountain oooo HERA IS GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING . .Content ? N?velDrama.Org.

That it isn¡¯t a dream or my imagination. ¡°I said you¡¯re hired. You can join the other maids in arranging and maintaining my son¡¯s room and daughter¡¯s room. And I hope you do a good job.¡± She smiled at me. ¡°Wow! Thank you ma¡±am. I¡¯ll sure do my best.¡± I replied enthusiastically. ¡°But ma¡±am, who¡¯s your daughter? I mean, her name and your son too?¡± I asked politely even if I already know who her son is but her daughter? I have no idea. Apart from Dney, I haven¡¯t seen any young girl that looks like this pretty woman or her son. Or she isn¡¯t around? ¡°Oh! My son¡­his name is Xavier and my daughter name is Dney. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll meet themter when they are back from school.¡± She smiled and her tone was filled with so much pride ¨C that clearly showed that she loves her two children. But wait! Did she just call Dney her daughter? But how? Even in Marazona, Dney never had a mother. So howe? And she also mentioned school. Dney attends a school on Earth?Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. And me, I haven¡¯t seen any school around not to talk of attending one. Dney and I attended school in Marazona and as usual, she was the intelligent one. I was just averagely good. I didn¡¯t put my heart to school because I thought that I didn¡¯t need to study or work hard for me to be wealthy. I did think that, even if I don¡¯t attend a school, I would still be great and also better than Dney who put all her heart into it. After all, I was gonna take over from my mother and rule Marazona one day. Why does Dney always get good things? Why does she always have luck before me? She attends a school while am here about to work as a maid. Why¡¯s life being unfair to me? Why does life cheat on me and favour Dney? And as I process the woman¡¯s words, I remembered when she said I¡¯ll also work as a maid to her son and daughter. And if Dney is her daughter, does that mean I¡¯m gonna serve Dney? No way! Dney has always been the one to serve me and now, I can¡¯t and I won¡¯t. A princess serving amoner? Amoner with no name in the society? No way! ¡°Uhm ma¡±am¡­¡± I called politely. ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you exempt me from working as a maid to your daughter? I just want to work for only your son.¡± I bit my lower lip nervously and took my gaze to the floor. ¡°Oh no dear! You have to work for both of them.¡± She smiled and patted my shoulder. I nodded my head and faux a smile. I¡¯m doing this because I have a mission that I must fulfill. I¡¯m doing this because of the male and I¡¯ll make sure I definitely carry out my n. I¡¯ll just have to bear it and work towards achieving what I want. I don¡¯t mind serving Dney ¨C it¡¯s not forever and is for a reason.

What is prom date and why did you choose me?¡± I asked again. ¡°Eish! What will I do with a block head like you?¡± He groaned yfully and ruffled my hair while I frowned my face lightly. ¡°Xavier! Stop teasing me! I¡¯m not a block head.¡± I grumbled and hit him on his shoulder. Heughed lightly and ruffled my hair more. Geez! My once neat hair was already scattered and it was almost all over my face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll tell you all about prom today during our lessons.¡± He said atst. ¡°Whatever!¡± I rolled my eyes and stepped hard on his toes. Before he could say anything, I moved away from him and stuck out my tongue at him. ¡°Ouch! That hurts you know.¡± He grumbled like a child that was deprived of his sweet. Iughed and ran away. * * AUTHOR BROBBEY POV ? IN MARAZONA ¡°The queen just copsed!¡± A maid panicked as she ran to get the royal healer.

It was surprising because the queen had been looking healthy since. ¡°Where is she?¡± The tiny voice of the royal healer asked as she walked into the pce with her bag of medicine. ¡°This way, great one.¡± The maid replied with a bow and gestured her hands to the queen¡¯s chamber. They both got inside and the queen was on a bed, looking so pale and almost lifeless. As the healer wanted to touch her, she suddenly withdrew and stared intently at the queen. ¡®something is wrong!

I was not ready to hear their taunting words that that would probably throw at me. They sure were expecting me to be Xavier¡¯s date and I¡¯ve been all eager and proud about it. And now Xavier didn¡¯t choose me ¨C making it so humiliating. I was in the garden, crying my eyes out and preparing both my body and soul for the mocking words I¡¯m gonna sure get from the students ¨C especially the ones that I had rubbed it to their faces that I would definitely be chosen. Why would Xavier do this to me? Why didn¡¯t he choose me? I¡¯ve known him for years and he didn¡¯t choose me but Dney who just came in within just a short period of time ¨C he chose her.

So, after my gifts ¨C even if I knew they weren¡¯t expensive, Xavier didn¡¯t choose me as his prom date but that girl ¨C Dney or whatever they call her. I was expecting that my name would be called as Xavier¡¯s prom date but I was really sad and angry that he didn¡¯t choose me. He didn¡¯t even make Chelsea his prom date and he went ahead to choose someone else? Someone we didn¡¯t expect him to choose. I felt really down casted and I almost felt like ripping off Xavier¡¯s mouth he used in calling Dney¡¯s name. Thinking about it is making me more upset. I got to my room and undressed. I packed my hair in a messy bun and walked to my bathroom. I stood under the shower and let the water cascade down my nude self. Refreshing! After I was done bathing, I toweled my body and wore a simple outfit. I got downstairs and started for the kitchen and started preparing dinner before mom woulde back from the hospital. * ¡®so mom, I¡¯ve been thinking¡­¡± I started and exhaled. I mentally prepared myself for whatever thing mom is gonna say and how she¡¯s gonna react too. ¡°What?¡± She asked and stared intently at me. ¡®so I¡¯ve been thinking, I don¡¯t like the way we are living. We are supposed to be at dad¡¯s mansion and enjoying the luxury his child and wife are enjoying. We have legal rights to enjoy them too. Dad¡¯s been hiding us away from them and I think it¡¯s time we show ourselves. Why don¡¯t we go to dad¡¯s mansion and confront dad? Whatsoever that¡¯s gonna happen should happen. Let¡¯s tell him that we want to leave in that mansion even though his wife and child doesn¡¯t likes us. Besides, he needs to tell them that he had a family outside.¡± I exined. Mom was quiet and I was trying hard to read her expression but I couldn¡¯t tell what was going on in her mind. She didn¡¯t look angry or sad. ¡°Wow Alicia! I¡¯ve also been thinking about it too!¡± She finally said, with a smile on her face. I released the breathe I didn¡¯t know I was holding and smiled. ¡®really mom?¡± I asked. ¡°Yes. But I¡¯ll think it through tonight and by tomorrow, I¡¯ll tell you my final decision.

He stared intently at me, as if searching my eyes for answers. ¡°Wait, I hope I wasn¡¯t talking to myself? Did you understand?¡± He asked and blinked his eyes and shook me lightly. I let out a light giggle and swat his hands away. ¡°You weren¡¯t talking to yourself okay? And I did only understand few words but the others, I¡¯ll just pretend that I understand.¡± I said truthfully. ¡®so? Let me ask you officially, will you be prom date?¡± He asked with a smile and I didn¡¯t know ¨C but my heart suddenly skipped a bit.

I poked his chest and we both bursted intoughter. As he tried to bring out his books, his backpack fell from the table and his books turned upside down on the floor. ¡°Let me help you.¡± I offered and bent down to pick up his books. As I picked them up, a small box fell and what was inside fell out because probably the box wasn¡¯t closed properly. I picked up what fell and my eyes dted in shock. My mouth fell opened in shock as I stared at it. What! I turned to look at Xavier and he had a confuse countenance. ¡°How the hell did you get this?¡± My voice came out in a yell as I dangled it in front of him. * * TBC Seems Xavier has exnation to do or don¡¯t you think so? .

There are so many unanswered questions that I want him to answer so badly. ¡°Laney¡­it¡¯s not what you think okay?¡± He twitched his lips and moved closer to meet me. We stood, facing each other and not saying anything. The room was quiet with just the sound of our breathing. The silence was starting to make me feel ufortable because Xavier wasn¡¯t saying anything ¨C just staring at me, and I was staring back at him ¨C like we were having a staring contest. ¡®so?¡± I cleared my throat, breaking the ufortable silence between the both of us. Xavier broke the eye contact and sat on his bed, staring at his feet. ¡°Talk to me Xavier! Did you steal this ne? Why is it with you?¡± I asked, trying hard not to scream at his face. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ll feel the urge to shout at him and spank him real hard on his head. I know how bad I had felt when I had misced the ne. I remembered it was partially his fault because he had wanted to leave me all alone at home that day. If he had taken me along with him, then maybe I wouldn¡¯t have misced it in the first ce. But now, after weeks I suddenly got to find out the treasure I¡¯ve been looking for is with the guy I live with. ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t really have any long exnation and I would not bother to beat around the bush, I¡¯ll just hit the nail on the head. Alicia actually gave it to me ¨C as a gift. I had epted it and kept it. It was just about two days ago she gave it to me. Though, it had looked strangely familiar, I still couldn¡¯t tell where I saw it. You shouldn¡¯t get angry with me because I didn¡¯t steal it. I haven¡¯t even worn it.¡± Xavier finally spoke up, with his gaze at me. ¡°What! Alicia gave it to you?¡± I asked, bewildered. How did she end up with the ne? But that night, I had seen her and asked her about it and she had denied seeing it. So, if she didn¡¯t really see it, then how did she end up with it? She knew I was looking for a ne even after a brief description about it, then why didn¡¯t she perhaps ask me if it was actually mine after seeing it? She clearly stole it ¨C for her to have imed it as hers and given it to Xavier as a gift, then she stole it. But why? ¡°You can decide to confront her if you think I¡¯m lying.¡± He shrugged and stood up from the bed. I sighed lowly and stared at the ne. ¡°Is it yours?¡± He asked.

I didn¡¯t turn to look at her because I could see her from the mirror. She smiled and ced a hand on my shoulder. ¡°Great Hera¡­you look just great.¡± She smiled sweetly at me. Good! That¡¯s exactly what I want to hear. ¡°Okay.

From the way Rio had been staring at me, I knew something was going on in that head of his. I knew that he had questions to ask me and it¡¯s question that¡¯s gonna make me speechless and stutter. I know Rio too well. He had a mischievous grin as he did his own practicals, but he asionally nced at me. Now sitting down with a smirk on his face, I knew he was up to something. ¡°Yeah.

So, Xavier, I¡¯ve been wanting to ask you this question but I¡¯ve kept my mouth shut. But it¡¯s been bugging me and I really want to know. Why did you choose Dney as prom date?¡± He asked, looking all serious. ¡°I chose her because I didn¡¯t have anybody in mind.¡± I shrugged even if I know what I just said was a lie. There¡¯s more to why I decided to choose Dney that even I couldn¡¯t understand. I just wanted to choose her ¨C I wanted her to be the one to walk beside me when I walk through the red carpet into prom. I wanted her to be that lucky girl. Even if she¡¯s na?ve, I still wanted it to be her. ¡°Xavier, you and I know that you just told a lie. There¡¯s Chelsea, isn¡¯t it? You¡¯ve known Chelsea for too long not to have her chose her. And Dney, you just met her weeks ago. Why didn¡¯t you choose Chelsea that you¡¯ve known rather than choosing Dney you don¡¯t really know that well?¡± He asked with a scoff. This guy knows me too well. He¡¯s always a smart ass. ¡°You see Rio, the heart make decision and not the head. Sometimes, it doesn¡¯t matter how many years you¡¯ve known someone ¨C it can be days but your heart would still choose that person if it ones to. My heart chose Dney over Chelsea ¨C even if I¡¯ve been with Chelsea for years and Dney for weeks, my heart still chose her.¡± I rounded off my speech. I don¡¯t even know how those words got formed in my head and processed it out from my mouth.

When did you start giving love speech like this?¡± He teased. I rolled my eyes and punched him on his shoulder. ¡°Ouch!¡± He whined childishly and soothed his shoulder. ¡®stop teasing me okay? I just said the words as it formed in my head.¡± I shrugged inly. ¡°Okay, I know you¡¯re not good with love ¨C but from what you just said, I think you¡¯re in love. So, tell me, I promise not to tell anybody, do you love Dney?¡± Rio whispered and stared around, like he was checking if anybody wasing ¨C when someone¡¯s about to do something bad. ¡°What!

And how did she know I probably had given it to him? This is really so confusing. ¡°Answer me! Did you give it to him?¡± Her harsh voice jolted me out of my reverie. ¡°Yes, I did.¡± I replied and gulped down nervously. ¡°Where did you get it from?¡± She asked, with her hands on her waist. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± I said and ran away. I just don¡¯t know what to say to her. That I stole it? No way! I can¡¯t let her see me as a purloiner! I sighed lowly as I got to the ssroom.

But Dney, she was making it too obvious that I wasn¡¯t weed and I felt really angry.

At first I was pissed because I¡±d been seeing all the time, but at another thought, I was happy. I¡¯m gonna frustrate her and use her like trash to she decide on her own to leave.

At least, I know Xavier doesn¡¯t like her. He¡¯s not been friendly with her and he doesn¡¯t even smile at her and that has made me really happy. I feel safe that Xavier wouldn¡¯t turn his attention towards her and start neglecting me. ¡°No sir¡­I¡¯m sorry.

That girl, she¡¯s the princess and my once best friend.¡± She exined with a sad sigh. For a while I was speechless. What! She¡¯s not from Earth? ¡°Are you serious right now Dney?¡± I scoffed unbelievably. This is just too hard for me to believe. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m damn serious. She said lowly. ¡°Is that why you hate her?¡± I asked. ¡°I don¡¯t hate Hera. And trying to get back at her is piercing my heart, it¡¯s not something I love doing. I¡¯m not good at repaying someone unkindly. She even came to Earth for the ne because I¡¯m pretty sure her mother¡¯s life is at stake.¡± She exined with a sad sigh. ¡°Okay Dney, this looks like a fairytale.

She was just stabbing the meatballs with her fork and I felt for the poor thing ; she was stabbing the meatballs so hard like it was the cause of her problem.

We boarded a taxi and throughout the ride, neither me nor mom spoke a word to each other. We were quiet with different thoughts running through our minds. I was both nervous and uncertain ¨C I didn¡¯t Know what to believe: if everything would work out fine. We got to our destination and mom paid the cabbie.

I couldn¡¯t tell if she was nervous or scared ¨C there was no expression whatsoever on her face. She looked less bothered too but me¡­ I was almost freaking out. My legs were suddenly heavy as we made it closer to the gate.

Mom angrily made her way into the house while dad looked scared. ¡°Come in then.¡± He mouthed at me. I nodded my head and sighed sadly. We got into the mansion and as expected, mom was bedazzled and awestruck by the beauty. Mom satfortably on the sofa and crossed her legs on the ss centered table.
