"THEN, you want to be here with those young perverts? I know you don't know where you're going now, and you're most likely lost your way, and you're scared alone with those evil strangers,” he said.I hate how he was right. He's right that I'm scared now. Just because I'm in the countryside doesn't mean there are no threats like in the city, like those young boys with perverted looks. There are so many of them, and sexual harassment is my nightmare."You're right, where are you taking me anyway?"I'll just choose the lesser evil. I know that at least he won't do anything bad to me. We have common friends, people we know. He should be afraid to harm me."Well, to the manor, I prepared some food there, you can actually visit that place," he casually said.He started walking in a certain direction. It turns out we're heading to his car. It's not a fancy car, it looks like the typical car you'd see in farmlands. We got in, and I felt like it might become an issue. But I didn't think about
Time always seemed to fly by unnoticed. I think I deserve commendation for surviving a whole hell week. Just imagine, from day one until now, some of my girl classmates were still giving me those sharp gazes like I deserved them. Excuse me? As far as I could remember, I haven't done anything wrong to them.But anyway, Friday was a Physical Education day. Since I still don't have the proper PE uniform, I used my old school uniform instead. The school uniform was given to me earlier than the PE uniform.As usual, I entered the school with my group of friends, whom I considered as one. Tomorrow was supposed to be my day off, but surprise! I'll be facing someone whom I have a lot of resentment towards.Logan.Just imagining or thinking about his name gives me a definite chill and annoyed me to the core of my being."Should we still walk you to your classroom, girl?" Kyla offered as we reached the Strand Building.I refused her offer. "I can manage here, you can go ahead to your room.""Ar
Suddenly LOGAN appeared out of nowhere with one great purpose, to ruin my day if it was not obvious. Was this geezer born to ruin my every day? I thought they were wealthy, so why can't he mind his own business then? Logan approached me with his familiar sharp gaze. His stares were so piercing, like an eagle spotting its next victim."I have something for you to do," he said sternly.I haven't even finished my work here yet. His gaze intensified as if he wanted to stab me with his eyes right now."I said I have something for you to do, quite hard to comprehend?" he insulted me further.I just looked at Andrew, who was puzzled by the two of us."I'll follow your kind brother first," I told Andrew. I even heard someone complain."What?"I walked ahead of Logan. I had no idea where this Logan guy was taking me. But it seems like we're heading to the kitchen now."You better not break another vase, because neither of us wants to see each other longer," I said."Yeah, I don't want to see a
Alice and I were on our way home now. We were picked up by Christian, who was curious why we ended up here. I told him that the girl I'm with was my invented excuse. Maybe it's because I won't be able to face anyone if they find out that I'm Logan's slave. Just imagine how shameful it is on my part!"It's good that we're going home now. This whole situation is tiring. I didn't even get to help you because our paths separated. Why did I let myself get dragged into the kitchen? But to be fair, there was so much gossip there! I also picked up a lot," she said to me while we were inside the car. I don't think Christian could hear us.I winced. "Maybe you should just accompany me next time? You'll just get tired there. Your purpose is to help me, but on the other hand, they gave you other tasks. We're at a disadvantage, right?" I said."It's fine with me, and I'm part of this domino effect."Woah? Domino?"We're here now, Krystal, and Alice," said Christian.We thanked him. I also gave him
-Logan’s POV-I remembered back then when I was younger, I was taught about how businessmen work. I was born to lead the biggest company and the wealthiest clan in Clayland. I am the eldest of my five siblings. I could still remember a time when I found myself isolated from my brothers and my one and only sister.Our parents and other relatives were strict with me. Perhaps it was because I carried the weight of inheriting numerous businesses and properties. That was the reason why I am cold and aloof at times.I couldn’t show my weakness. I couldn’t show any unnecessary emotions, or else it would be the doom of me and my clan.I decided to swim in the waterfall, which was part of our private land. It's rare for me to go swimming there nowadays. I am really busy, but today seems like a good day to relax.But who would have thought that I would hear noise coming from the waterfall other than the sound of water cascading? I felt mad for a second, as someone trespassed on our private land
I was first dropped off at my friend's house, and then I safely made it home. It's heartwarming to see that the boys value the safety of us girls, and they are earning my respect from time to time.It was around 10 in the evening, and I still couldn't sleep as soundly and safely as I wished. I decided to scroll through my feed. I installed my Instagram and Facebook applications, which I immediately regretted.There were so many negative posts on my wall and tags. They were saying things about my father and making baseless accusations, insulting us because they claimed we have fallen and are no longer wealthy.And you know what hurts the most, what hits the hardest out of everything?It's the fact that even our friends and relatives turned their backs on us because we were no longer as rich as we used to be. We were no longer the ones they could use for money and power.So I wished that we could go back to our old life. That time, if we were given another chance, we would know who is w
MONDAY, another not-so-pleasant day.Aside from the soreness in my body from the work I did yesterday, in short, being a servant to that man, here we go again, it's back to school. I actually want to skip a day of my class now because why not? I worked overtime yesterday, and I do not deserve that.Even though I don't want to get up yet, Alice forced me. She worked harder than me yesterday, and yet, here she is, stronger than me, not tired, and more energetic than me. I don't know what her secret is. Sometimes or most of the time, she overworks, but she's really on another level."Let's go,” she said to me. "Hurry up, or we might be late. You know Miss Davenport, she grows horns during flag ceremony time," she said, as if she was in such a rush.I rolled my eyes heavenward as I heard her reasoning. "Reasons, if I knew, you actually just want to see Andrew early," I retorted."Issue! No way! Besides, he's always late, I know his schedule better than he does," she said confidently.She'
"I am dead serious right now. I have something incredibly important to share. Please let me finish before reacting, okay?" I reminded her, emphasizing the urgency of my words.There's a saying that kind-hearted people find it difficult to get angry, and in this case, it rings true for me."What is it now? Is it something serious? Am I sick?" This woman's thought process is truly baffling, I thought to myself, trying to understand her reaction.We found a bench nearby, allowing us to take a momentary pause. It was important for me to tell her the truth; she deserved to know. As I mentioned before, transparency is one of the cornerstones of our friendship. The more honest I am, the more people can trust me."Just say it already. You're dragging this out for too long!" she exclaimed impatiently.I took a deep breath to steady myself. "Okay, I want to be completely honest with you. I think you deserve to know this. Andrew has been showing interest in me," I confessed, my voice sincere."H
