"I'm sorry, wasn't able to complete it," April made a sorry face, "but look at your face, you look handsome, right?" Orion made an entrance and April walked away from the guard, ignoring Orion as she went to sit on the chair in the painting area. "You can leave now," Orion told both Lily and the guard and they walked out. He walked towards April, who was observing her fingers as if there were some hidden mystery about them. He sighed, sliding his hand into his pockets. "April," She didn't answer. "You wouldn't have came if I had told you the purpose," Orion said. "Well, let's see who the tutors will be here to teach tomorrow. I'm not leaving my house," April spoke. "You will be here tomorrow, April," Orion said with all surety. "No. I will not! Unless you tie me up and forcefully bring me here, of course," April said. "Don't tempt me. You will be surprised at the extent to which I can be ruthless, April," he said calmly and April could tell he wasn't just saying those word
It's been a week since the opening ceremony event and April hasn't seen Orion. She couldn't remember anything but she knew she must have done something considering the fact that Orion has made different excuses to avoid having dinner with them the two different times that Mrs Caddel had brought it up, or maybe she was just paranoid.She had heard from Iver that she had fallen asleep in his lap and he had carried her to their car through the backdoor to avoid unnecessary pictures by the reporters. They left the party after that, it was almost the end of the ceremony anyway.And she was contemplating on texting him to ask how he was doing but she was feeling very nervous without even knowing why. Just then, her mom knocked on her door and came in."April dear, your brother said you should get dressed early tomorrow. He said Peter would pick you up, you are going to his company," Mrs Caddel passed the information."Why?" April suddenly looked alarmed.Mrs Caddel shrugged, gesturing she
The way the lady asked the question directly without beating around the bush seems to trigger a direct answer from April too because normally, if it was any other person who approached her that way without any prior mannerism, April would have given them a piece of her mind.Perhaps, it was the way the lady was intently staring at her or the way she carried herself with elegance or maybe it was just her aura, April didn't know until she had blurted out her answer."He took you with him to make his speech earlier, who are you to him?" The lady asked again.She placed her purse on the table and sat down on the only empty chair available."His date," she blurted again, "I- I mean his sister," April said and Iver snickered in amusement."What a coincidence!" she said with no enthusiasm, "I'm his sister too, his blood-related sister to be exact," the lady said saucily."Oh," April uttered, completely speechless."I'm relieved now. I had initially thought that his pretend family had arrange
"Weeeeeell, then I'll be your date!" she removed her arm from Iver's and moved to Orion's side, sliding her hand around his left arm, "only the best for you!" she said cockily."What?! You promised to be my date," Iver scoffed."Sorry brother, you just got ditched," Orion smirked and Iver flicked April's forehead."Don't hurt my date," Orion said and playfully punched Iver on his shoulder.Their parents laughed, pride swelling in their chest to see their children so happy and still together.Suddenly, there was an increase in the volume of the sounds being heard around them. Reporters once again scrambled towards a particular group of people who just made an entrance. Their proximity were being controlled by security guards to make sure they aren't too close to the obviously-prominent figures.They were two men and two ladies with the ladies dressing as sophisticated as possible; the kings. They were accompanied by about eight bodyguards who scattered themselves across the area, loo
“Thank you, Mr Finn,” Mr Caddel appreciated the doctor who had attended to April.He and Knox were outside the hospital room with Mr and Mrs Caddel, discussing with the doctor. After the vomit mishap back at home, Iver had carried April to her room and left so Mrs Caddel could help clean her up.During that time, Orion also went to clean up, rushing so he could quickly take April to the hospital. Knox had driven him, April and Iver to the hospital. Their parents agreed to take a cab so April could lie comfortably in the backseat.Iver had sat in the passenger seat, feeling extremely guilty for everything that happened while Orion sat in the backseat with April’s head on his lap, saying comforting words to her till they got to the hospital.Back to the present, they listened to the doctor who told them that fortunately, her ribs weren’t broken and the pain is due to the hit. He also inform them that April has nutrition deficiency anemia and he prescribed some supplements.Then he told
"Brother, feed me," April said and Orion's jaw clenched.He looked at her for a few seconds, then he smirked."Nice try. Did you suddenly become left-handed?" Orion asked."Oops, you got me," April lowered her left hand, finally picking up her cutlery with her uninjured right."Silly," Mrs Caddel chuckled."Did you bath in perfume or something?" Beauty asked, making a slight choking sound."Used a little too much, my bad," April replied."It's kinda smelling like the perfume I gave to you," Kelsey said, giving Iver a suspicious look."Thanks for the food, honey. Delicious as always," Mr Caddel complimented."Of course it is, Mr Caddel. We cooked it together, I forgot to mention I once participated in a competition for chefs and I came out first. Funny fact is that I was the youngest competing against people far older than I am. I wasn't surprised though, I mean-"April faked a cough, effectively cutting Kelsey off."So, April," Kelsey started."Oh no. Give me strength, Lord," April mu
