After the party, I put the twins to sleep and kissed them good night. Luke, Percy and Sophie waited for me in the study."That serum, do you remember what happened after they inject it into you?" Luke asked.I tried to remember, but nothing came to my mind so I shook my head."I think I passed out after that then—" I paused then frowned.Luke held my hand. "Don't push yourself, baby. Just try to remember what you can."I nodded. "When you help me escape, I think I met a man who injected me with that serum. After that, I just remembered running and that's when I was caught by our kidnappers.""And you killed them?" Sophie followed.I nodded again. "I just remember feeling scared at one point, then that fear suddenly changed into a rage when they told me about killing the three of you.""When you wake up, did you remember anything? Anything at all?" Luke asked again.I disagreed by shaking my head.Percy was on his iPad, searching for something. Then he exclaimed. "Found it!"We settle o
THIRD POV"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.She curved her lips and frowned, trying to remember the man she had seen that day. It was a vivid image because she was knocked out, but there was something on the man's face that she clearly remembered.She nodded to confirm her statement. "He's Peggy's father. Do you remember when we met the man to ask about Peggy's whereabouts? I felt something weird toward him. I noticed there was a deep scar on his left eyelid. The man in the woods had the same scar like Benjamin's. And he also asked something weird that day.""What did he ask you?" Sophie asked."He asked me if I remember him. I was confused and told him it was my first time meeting him. I ignored what happened because I thought he just mistook me for someone, but thinking back, maybe he meant the day he injected me with the serum." Luke walked to the other side of the table and sat on the swivel chair. And was in deep thought.Benjamin Miller, CEO of Miller International Securit
Have you ever felt empty in your life? Ever felt no one understands you? That no one seems to care how you feel? Have you ever felt that your heart feels empty and your head is a mess? Have you ever experience the feeling of total sadness and you're unable to enjoy things? My name is Alora. I belong to what they call the elites. I was born rich. I was the youngest daughter to one of the richest family in the country. I have 2 brothers and a sister. They were all successful people and owned various businesess worldwide. My oldest brother is the CEO of the largest gaming company in Japan as well as the owner and President of the no.1 car company in Europe. My second brother owns the biggest pharmaceutical company in the US that manufactures and distributes medical supplies all over the world. He also owned Smith's Meds, a drugstore chain in the country. My sister owns the largest shopping mall in the country located at Northbay City Mall and one of
"Miss Alora, wake up. You're going to be late." It's Krista, one of the maids in the house trying to wake me up while holding the food tray. She's standing in my bedside wearing her usual blue maid's uniform with white apron. Her hair is tied up with blue ribbon. She's just 25 and was working with us since she turned 18. She is my personal maid but I considered her a friend. I opened my eyes and started moving. I stretched my arms and yawned. "What time is it?" I asked while still sitting on my bed. Krista put the food tray in the breakfast table beside my room's window first before answering. "It's 7 in the morning miss. It's your first day in senior high school and the assembly time starts at 8:30. I have prepared your bath and your uniform. Your things has been prepared as well." I nodded and started walking towards the table. Krista prepared a blue ternate tea, bacon & egg and 2 loaves of bread for breakfast. I sit and picked up the tea while looking
"Wait! What? Are you crazy?" I snatched my hand away from him and crossed my arms. I don't know how I managed to composed myself. With my head up high, I asked him. "Oh I thought you knew since you insisted that I tell you now. Anyway, you heard me right, after college, we'll get married so from today onwards, you are my fiancé." Luke said it without any hesitation. It seems to me that this is just a joke to him. "Is it amusing to you to make fun of other people? I don't know what you're talking about and even if its true, I don't want to be your fiancé. I hate you and all those people behind this!" I yelled at him so everyone who's watching us can hear it. I turned around and walked away. I don't want to hear any word from Luke. I run inside the school and went straight to the rooftop. I'm annoyed. No, I'm mad at him. It doesn't seem that he's joking and I'm mad at my parents for not consulting me first. I want to scream but my voice won't come out. I can't br
It's the first day of senior high school so I woke up and prepared early. I was chosen to be the speaker for the opening assembly. I enjoyed being around with people. When I was little, my father will always bring me to parties, events and meetings. I am an only child and the only heir to the Wilson Empire. Our family is the richest clan in the country and the second richest in the US and Europe. I am Luke Wilson. I am 17 years old and currently studying at Golden Oak School for the Elite as a senior high school. At my age, I already achieved so many things. I was a genius in computer and technology at the age of 10 and was awarded as the youngest computer science genius. I have created a computer anti-virus called Angel at the age of 12. The success of Angel gave me an opportunity to build my own company, A.E Technology. I wanted to stand on my own and make my name known not just the son of my parents, not just some rich kid who depends on their father's money. In t
What am I thinking? I suddenly agreed to Alora's father to marry her. Yes, we're close but that was a long time ago. Right now, I barely know her. I don't even know if she actually remember that we used to play at some villa. She doesn't even look at me now. I'm deep in thought when my driver, Ken, speaks. "We're here sir." I didn't notice that we're already in school. I grabbed my things and felt my heart pounding when I walked out of the car. Am I nervous? Why will I feel nervous about this? Almost all the girls in school wanted to be my girlfriend but we're talking about Alora. She's called the Ice Princess because she's known for rejecting boys who's trying to confess to her. Am I different to the others? Someone tapped my shoulder and when I looked back, it was Percy. "Hey man, I called you 3 times but you just passed by in front of us. What are you thinking? Is it a girl?" Percy laughed and I saw his girlfriend runs towards him. Percy is my best friend and her
"I think you found your match, Luke. That girl doesn't even look at you. I mean she doesn't look at you like all the girls here." It was Percy with his annoying sarcastic voice. "Who does she think she is? I proposed to her in front of everyone and that's her reaction. She rejected me? Luke Wilson?" I exclaimed. I know my pride as a man was crashed by Alora. She really deserves her title. Sophie pat me on the shoulder. Her voice sounded annoyed as well. "Luke, do you really think that she will just agree to marry you? Is that what you call a proposal? Can you remember what you said? You told her that your parents arranged your marriage and she belongs to you now. Do you think she will be glad hearing that? She's not a possession Luke. You know Alora will not be happy if you will treat her like a thing. I wouldn't want that either. Maybe if you asked some girl in campus they will be glad to be your fiance but you know Alora is different." "Luke, remember
