Clarissa rolled her eyes. “And she acted like she was doing you a favor. Like ‘here’s a helpful warning, Lucas. Stay away from the evil little Clarissa’.”

Lucas let out a proper laugh this time. “And then she dragged Easton in like a backup dancer.”

“That was embarrassing,” Clarissa added, laughing too. “He came out of nowhere and was like, ‘I agree with her.’ Like we asked.”

“I almost said ‘and who are you again?’ ” Lucas said, grinning.

Clarissa covered her mouth as she laughed. “You should’ve. That would’ve finished him.”

“I think what finished him was when I said he came second in your past and barely counts in your present.”

Clarissa looked at him, her eyes grew wide, still smiling. “I didn’t expect you to say that.”

“I meant every word.”

She went quiet for a second. “You didn’t have to stand up for me like that.”

Lucas shrugged slightly. “I know.”

“But you did.”

He looked at her, his voice turned calm. “He doesn’t get to rewrite your story. Not while I’m around.” His eyes moved

    "Why did you come to my house?" Lucas pressed a hard glare on Charlie. But the old man shrugged."Old lady Reed told me that you suddenly got engaged." Charlie tore his gaze from Lucas and planted it on Clarissa who felt small in the presence of these enigmatic men. Charlie smiled warmly. "So I was curious and wanted to see the woman who decided to be with someone like you."Clarissa frowned. 'Someone like you?' That was too ambiguous but she didn't say anything. Lucas scoffed. "Now that you've gotten what you came here for. I think you should take yourself out of my house now." "Woah Woah." Charlie took a step back as he raised his hands. "Not so fast." Lucas's eyes sank. Hating how Charlie was being 'carefree' in his house. In his living room. "I came here for something else. We need to talk." Charlie uttered. "Seeing your fiancée was just part of my reasons to visit. But not the main reason." Lucas didn't say a word. The look on Charlie's face had turned serious. A moment of s

    They stopped by at a fancy restaurant in the outskirts of town, not far from SoHo, Manhattan. It was one of those quiet spots in Manhattan. The name of the place was La Terraza.Clarissa looked up at the building as they stepped out of the car together. "I didn't think you'd actually come pick me up." Lucas smirked and adjusted his sleeves. "I clocked off early. Have some boring reports to finish at home. Figured I'd save you from standing in that parking lot like a lost puppy."Clarissa chuckled. "Thanks. I was this close to panicking." She laughed at the end, her mind temporarily traveling to a few minutes ago when she thought she would spend the night at the gate."I could tell," he said as he walked forward and pushed the door open for her. "You looked like a tourist who lost her tour guide."She scoffed. "Don't be mean.""I'm not. Just observant," he said, still smiling. They both walked into the restaurant.The inside of the restaurant was quiet and dimly lit, with soft music p

    The library was quiet, slightly dim but clean…it was as if there was no window, just the dim light above the ceiling. The library smelled like paper and lavender polish. The shelves stood tall with books stacked neatly in rows. At the entrance, there was a woman with big round glasses and curly hair that was tied in a loose bun. Her eyes were sharp, she didn’t even smile when they stepped in. She glanced up at Kai and he gave her a short nod. “Afternoon, Ms Leta.” The woman nodded back at him, then looked down at the book she was reading while flipping a page like no one ever came in. Clarissa stayed close behind Kai, looking around in awe. The library was just as she has expected. The previous night, she had made her research and looked through the buildings in the school and noted that there was a Library in the college. Kai walked off toward Ms Leta who was still busy reading her book, probably to speak to her about something. Clarissa didn’t follow him as she was drawn to

    Clarissa and the other newbies were told to follow the hallway. They moved slowly, their footsteps echoing on the polished floor. The hallway was long and wide,Clarissa couldn’t help but stare like a moron amongst the crowd. On both sides, there were large paintings and framed photos of men and women wearing different stylish clothes. Some looked like models, some looked like designers. The walls were painted in white and purple color, giving it a very beautiful view, and the golden lights above made everything shine.Clarissa held her laptop close to her chest. Her bag was slung across her shoulder as she followed the crowd to wherever the meeting was being hosted. She didn’t talk to anyone,she knew no one. Nobody around her seemed to be talking either. Everyone looked nervous. A few people whispered quietly but the hallway had this quiet pressure, it was probably the ‘newbie’ anxiety catching up with them.They reached a large door and stopped there. Someone opened it from insi

    "Don't get me wrong. I like you, Clarissa but I love my grandson even more." She clarified. Her face was blank.Clarissa smiled weakly. "That's totally understandable, Granny." Somehow, the tension still lingered.Granny Reed dropped her newspaper and took off her glasses. She leaned forward, her face turned serious. "Honestly, you should be careful around men like this. They hurt you and when you're gone, they suddenly hate that you're with someone else. It's disgusting, right?" Clarissa found herself nodding. A strange anger enveloped her. "Most of these men tend to do the worst things so be careful, dear. I just hope your past doesn't bite you so hard." With that, she leaned back on her chair and grabbed her glasses. That was Clarissa's cue to know that was the end of their mini conversation. "I understand. I'm off to school now." With that, she stood up from the couch."Have a great day." Granny Reed said from behind her as she exited the room. Clarissa's shoulder sank as she

    The night went by in a blur and soon, it was morning. It wasn't just any morning for Clarissa, it was a morning that marked the beginning of a good day.She woke up with a broad smile even though her hair was messy and all over the place. Clarissa whistled as she skipped to the bathroom to have a bath. She finished bathing and grabbed some casual wear from the closet. It was early November and the temperature was slowly dropping and the weather was becoming cooler. She opted for blue Jean pants and a white cardigan. After getting dressed, she exited her room with her laptop and handbag. She found Mrs Chen arranging the table for breakfast. "Good morning, Mrs Chen." Clarissa's eyes skimmed through the table, smiling cheekily at the varieties of food."Great mood today, huh??" Mrs Chen raised a single brow at her, noting how enthusiastic she was that morning. "Quite different from last night's."Clarissa pulled out a chair and dropped herself on it while saying. "Pretty much. But I'
