Mia Gates is as normal as normal can be. She's an adopted daughter to a loving couple, an average teenager who loves school as much as the next person, and a keeper of as little number of friends as possible; one, to be precise. To cap it up, she even has her own nemesis in the form of high school golden boy, Andrew Cameron. Unfortunately, that normal doesn't when she's ordered to be abducted by a mysterious man for an even more mysterious reason, only to be saved by the CEO of a multimillion-dollar company. Now, the question is, what is so important about her that one man will go to all the trouble to capture her? And why will another be willing to go to same length to protect her?
View MoreZain Centineo leisurely collected the paper cup of hot, black coffee from Glen Cameron and emptied it on the teenage Albino lying down on the floor. The boy instantly groaned out and winced in horror, the coffee was scorching hot when it penetrated through his uniform shirt, it felt like acid on his skin.
Zain caught the shocking expression on different shades of faces that made him want to howl out with laughter. This bloody stinky Albino rat does not understand what it means to be in this school. When did he have the balls to escape detention? What the fuck is this poor fucker doing in Ravenwood High?
"I'm sorry to interrupt you Sir but haven't you had enough of this punishment? Please have mercy on him and let him go." The newcomer sitting by the window interfered in a respectful manner as everybody's eyes swung back to her. She couldn't bare to watch a real life bullying scene like this. The last time she checked, even Glen Cameron did not served his detention, so why is his fate different from that of the Albino?
Zain Centineo now turned his attentions towards the newbie who had her brown hair tied up like a bird's nest. So this newly transferred chick was not mute as the rumors say? And the first time he'd be hearing her voice was to interrupt him on judgement day?
"Glen, did I heard someone speaking? What was that ugly chick saying? No... wait a fucking minute, did she served detention?"
"Mr Donald pardoned her because she's still new" Glen quickly replied Zain.
"Hey. Come out here and get on your knees before me." Zain ordered, holding a thick cane in his left hand. A little brave heroine huh? He would teach her how to never again interrupt the disciplinary head prefect.
Sasha McAngel's five senses instantly jumped into a flight mode with a secret panic surging inside her soul. When had she become so courageous enough to interrupt the King of hedgehogs on his judgement day? Actually, it was a mistake. She's not the girl who voiced out her thoughts about five seconds ago. Jesus... today looks like its going to be another sucking day in Ravenwood High.
"Quick quick. . . Get out before I get there." Zain barked impatiently. Why is she being too sluggish now? Does she has to wet her pants before coming out or what?
Sasha McAngel swallowed buckets of saliva while she carefully guided her legs out to the spacious front row of the class and knelt down before Zain. She saw a pathetic and agonizing look on her Albino classmate who was in pain, still sobbing on the floor. Well, he should have carefully weigh the consequences of escaping detention before landing himself in such a big trouble. And now, her too. . . She could already imagine how painful the hot coffee would feel on her skin.
"Rita... Do us the honor." Zain handed over the thick cane to a mean looking girl who was standing beside him. He thought if he whips a girl himself, she'd wet her undies and faint only to cause him a headache. So Rita does the part of flogging the shit out of disrespectful chicks, and is practically perfect at that.
"Get down flat on your belly hun." Rita ordered with an obvious level of excitement in her voice. She loved her role so much especially now with this newbie whom she secretly find her somehow intimidating. Why does a poor bitch like her has to have a flawless skin? Why does she has a dimple and such a naturally slim contoured nose and a plump little lips?
Sasha nodded her head as she felt too embarrassed with all the eyes on her. She only had her mini skirt uniform, what if her skirt fly up in the process of the flogging? What if everyone ends up seeing the color of her underwear? It was not the caning that mattered to her now but rather how the process will unfold.
"P-please..."
"Uh un... Nah nah nah Hun. Don't do that here. It doesn't work with us. Hurry up lets be done with it" Rita felt even more determined to flog the shit out of this drama queen bitch trying to act like a helpless Cinderella in front of Zain.
By now, Sasha understood that nothing would save her. Zain and Rita both have this kind of determined look on their faces. Only one senior standing behind Zain looked at her with sympathy, but he obviously cannot help her. He doesn't have the guts to. She placed her palms on the floor and laid down flat on her stomach, her chubby behind now at the disposal of those heartless and mean seniors.
Before another second could clicked in, Rita landed the first lash of cane on Sasha's bum and the mini skirt flared up with the force of the whip, exposing Sasha's white cotton underwear. She felt a horrible pain and cold air tingling around her skin before everyone bursted out into a hysterical laughter.
"Did you see that?" "Yeah I did... It was white" "Embarrassing... I'd kill myself if I were her" "Poor Sasha" "Zain saw her underwear? She should just transfer" "This girl is so cute" "I hate this kinda stuff" "Why does she have to interfere on judgement day?" "I feel bad for her" "She looks like a little slut" "Things I see only in Ravenwood" "We need holy water" Sasha heard most of the bickering and murmurs echoing in her ears. Everyone has seen it, how embarrassing. Is it okay to cry? No way... Zain and Rita will feel satisfied.
Zain didn't know why he quickly took his eyes off when he accidentally saw the girl's underwear. This chick surely eats a truck of food to get those meat around there. But why didn't she wear shorts underneath her skirt? Is she that stupid? This is such an embarrassing moment. He hates this kind of awkward situations.
Rita saw a different look crossing on Zain's face but she quickly raised the cane to go for the second round. But before the cane could land on Sasha's back, a force halted it on air and Rita stiffened in shock to see Zain's hand holding the cane firmly.
"She has learned her lessons. Everyone get lost!" Zain suddenly dismissed.
That feeling was strange. He yanked the cane away from Rita's hands and looked at the girl still laying down on the ground. Should he ask her to get up? No... Bullshit. They'd think he is being soft on her. This stinky chick dares to make him feel pity? What a fucking strange outcome. He smashed his snickers onto the floor as he arrogantly walked out of the classroom.
It was already closing period and Zain Centineo was supposed to stay behind to punish all other students whose names were on the list of defectors but he postponed the judgement day to next week and left school earlier than usual.
5 years laterParis, France. The lights in the condominium automatically switches on as Mia walks in through the front door. She shrugs off her snow-covered coat and places it on the hangar next to the door, removing her boots to walk barefooted across the brown fur rug to the kitchen cabinet just as the heater automatically comes on too. “Please, be careful not to get snow on my rug,” she says to Andrew who walks into the apartment after her. “It’s new and I’ll love to keep it that way”. “Gee, so protective.” He rolls his eyes exaggeratedly but complies anyway as he carefully removes his coat and places it on the hangar next to Mia’s. “I have to say that party was great,” Andrew says, depositing himself on the couch. “At least, it was until those two guys began dishing me more French than I could handle.” “Which was why you had me as your designated translator beforehand,” replies Mia wit
“You, my dear, aren’t just aTekna. You’retheTekna."The words ring in Mia's head like some alien language. It feels as if her mind can't make a decision on how best to react and so it doesn't- she just stares ahead with a numb expression on her face.Joseph means every word he's just said. Of that, Mia has no doubt; and the intense look in his eyes even then supports it, but not wanting to let herself be upended, she puts on her best mocking smile.“Wow, Joseph!" she says. "That sounds an awful lot like admiration.”“That’s because it is,” he returns.Before Mia can fully vibe the situation though, Joseph suddenly pulls out a gun and points it squarely in her face. “I’m going to do whatever it takes to keep you with me, Mia," he says, "even if you have to be in a cryogenic coffin for that to happen.”Mia's expression takes on that vi
Mia wobbles three steps forward before finally giving up and collapses against the wall. She watches her blood stain the wall as she slides uncontrollably to the ground.There's no need to sugarcoat this, I'm a failure, she thinks to herself as she pants helpslessly on the ground. It doesn't take a genius to see that she has failed in her mission to subdue Joseph, and as a result, she’s going to lose her life and Andrew’s too; if he isn’t dead already, that is.Well, guess it’s divine justice that I should die all alone and with a hole the size of the Mississippi in my side too, she laughs at the image in her mind. Irony be that she caused her own death and perhaps a billion others too- it’s a no brainer that Joseph will find a way to remotely control her mind to launch the missiles like he wants.To be honest, she knows from the start she may actually have been alright had she not been so insistent on her freedom.
“Is this the part where you kill me?” Andrew passes a look around Jacob’s men as they lead him down a deserted corridor. It’s thirty minutes after his rescue- if it can even be called that- and so far, the only interaction they’ve had with him is to cuff him and say, “Move.”He looks to Jacob. “You know, I don’t get it,” he says. “Why are you so scared of Mia?”“Of course not, Andrew. What ridiculous story is this?” he returns, scoffing. “I’m not afraid of Mia. She’s just a child.”“And yet, here you are.” Andrew shoots him a mocking smile. “Come on Jacob, you’ve crossed every boundary known to humanity in order to get her in your custody. Is that how much she haunts your nightmares?”“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Jacob’s voice takes on a threatening tone as he grabs Andrew by
Mia’s gaze shifts from the footage of Andrew in his flooded cell to the world map of deathly red dots. A conflicted expression rests on her face. Do I want to save the world? She asks herself. Of course, she wants to. She won't have gone through all the trouble to resist Joseph if she doesn't want to. So now, the real question is, does she want to save the world at Andrew's expense? In all honesty, Andrew has become more than a friend to Mia in the past month; thinking otherwise is just self-denial. He has risked his life for her time and time again, and all without asking anything in return than she should remain safe. She owes him a lot. But can I let the world be destroyed just to save his life? She asks this time, sighing again as the conflict in her soul comes once more to the forefront. The truth, Mia knows that she will definitely lose Andrew if she goes along with Joseph's plan even if it is to save his life. No one wants to
Jacob looks down at the endless ocean as the chopper flies past and marvels. No wonder Joseph decided to establish himself here, he thinks to himself, smiling. Truth be told, Jacob isn't that big a fan of waters, but this one feels different. Looking out, he can see that Joseph's choice of the Atlantic ocean is more than just for security. The sight of it actually fills one with an aura of power. Anyone will give anything to remain in the presence of that aura. But ocean thoughts aside, Jacob concentrates himself back on the simple reason why he's made the trip all the way to Joseph: he has Mia and he needs to get her back. Actually, it’s a plan that he has envisioned for a while. In fact, it’s the particular reason why he warned Joseph of Mia’s coming to begin with. Get Joseph to stop Mia and then take her away from him. He smiles to himself. Brilliant, just brilliant. “We’re approaching the building, sir,” the pilot’s voic
