INICIAR SESIÓNHi guys. Hope you are enjoying this book so far?
Aria's POV."That's impossible and delusional." Kelly laughed beside me but then I noticed all 11 girls in the room had serious looks on their faces, meaning whatever number one said was the truth.But how come?'Was Lucien secretly married?' I pondered as my heart skipped a beat in panic.It couldn't be."It's the truth newbie." Cheryl spoke up, her eyes beaming with pride.Judging by that, she obviously wasn't delusional. Something must have made her think Lucien was her soon be her brother-in-law or she saw something.'Besides how does he even know her? I am not able to connect the dots.' I thought and decided to ask."That's shocking." I spoke up and Kelly threw me a look while Nina remained silent beside me, her expression blank and not giving me anything of what she could be thinking about."Why do you say so?" Cheryl asked like I wanted and I hid a grin."Everyone knows Don Lucien's wife is dead and he loves her so much that I doubt he would want to marry anyone else." I answer
Luciano's POV."Little bro, you good?" Viktor asked as he got into the limo with me and I nodded, while trying to tear my eyes away from Aria.Today I wasn't around to accompany her to school and she looked like she was doing pretty well on her own with Nina around her.I guess it was a really good idea to get my brother to bring the girl along."Hey." Viktor placed a hand on my shoulder, distracting me from my thoughts."Yeah. We can go now." I told the driver who zoomed off immediately while Viktor chuckled."You know, you are acting just like then." He commented and my expression tightened as I knew immediately the event he was referring to.Funny how I have warned him a lot of times to never mention such pasts in my present again but then it was Viktor, my Elder brother.He would never listen because he was sure I wouldn't do anything but to sit and endure his taunting."Shouldn't you be more focused on the enemy we are going after today?" I asked with a fake smile and he shrugged
Aria's POV.Everywhere looked breathtaking, so glamorous with the chandeliers, furniture and designs. It was like I had walked into paradise.The tiled floor seemed like it was made of gold, so we're the chairs that spread out in the hall. Chefs walked around, elegantly carrying meals while a slow beautiful tune was being played from a piano."Wow! It's really as they said." Kelly whispered beside me as I continued to glance around in wonder."Do you know that except from the top 10 and their Queen, no one else is allowed in here?" Kelly asked and I shook my head sideways, my lips parting in disbelief."So they are that exclusive?""Yes and this is just the tip of the iceberg." Kelly answered as we walked into the inner room. It was decorated with red, including the bed which had canopies.I would have been surprised by this too if my bedroom design wasn't more beautiful. I guess this was personal while outside belonged to the school?I looked towards the bed and on it sat the girl w
Aria's POV."New student might rival Queen Cheryl." was what was written on the screen with a picture of me attached to it.My lips parted from shock while Kelly giggled like it was something she was expecting."Now, that was faster than I thought." She commented and I resisted the urge to glare at her.'But how come? How did they get my picture without me noticing?' I pondered because the picture of me there was obviously taken this morning.The hair tie I had on made it obvious."The photos must have been gotten from the CCTV because I noticed no one around us taking pictures, and students were too busy with the Glam stuff to pay us any attention," Nina said as I turned to look at her and Kelly huffed."Too busy and yet her picture is on the net? Oh please! Just admit the truth, that you aren't good at your job." Kelly taunted, and Nina looked like she might take the bait and hit her, so I hurriedly got in between them again."Now is not the time." I sighed when I noticed some stude
Aria's POV."What is that about?" I asked, and Kelly brought out her phone to show me a picture of girls wearing tiaras and slashes indicating a beauty position."It's a beauty contest that happens here in Lunar Venus. People are not only judged by their wealth or status here but also by their beauty." Kelly responded and my lips parted in surprise."Wow.""Yes. Every new month, a new set of the top 10 is chosen, and the beauty standards are changed by the current top beauty Queen." Kelly told me and I narrowed my eyes at her."There is a standard?""Of course." She nodded as she scrolled through her phone. "It's how they are chosen.""The current top beauty Queen has been reigning for a year or two now, according to the statistics, as the beauty standards currently are the hair and eyes, and since her entrance here, no one has ever beaten her in those aspects of features," Kelly explained and then paused as she stared at me deeply."What?" I asked, finding the stare creepy and she si
Aria's POV.Today, Monday, was the beginning of a new week at school and I sure hope the environment won't be solemn. Since Kelly came to visit me, during the school break, Don Luciano has been out of my hair.Either he wasn't home or he and Viktor were locked up away in the study. Only Nina has been around me; she barely leaves my sight, even when I am sleeping, which makes me wonder if she does sleep at all.The burial for the student who died in my stead was held at the college, and I attended then offered my condolences to her parents. Her dad told me not to blame myself while her mum tried to attack me, but Nina took the burden of her pain for me.Originally, Nina wanted to attack her, but I stopped her, understanding the woman's pain, as I was ready to take whatever she wanted to do to me as long as she felt better.But Nina didn't allow that. She protected me and I was grateful even though it was her job.Kelly didn't make it to the burial and I wasn't going to message to ask w
