Chapter 1
"Don't you have brains?! I told you I don't want to eat fruits with seeds! Stupid servant!" I'm so furious with this damn maid. How come she always forgot that I don't eat fruits with seeds? She's just so stupid.I glared at the dragon fruit on my table and harshly thrown it against the wall.The servants shrink in fear, still slightly bowing their heads.I sneered at them and look away. However, I could feel their blazing glares that made me feel funny."What are you glaring at?! Do you want to live in the cold streets?!" I shouted and glared at them coldly.What? They acting like a saint now? People like them deserves more than this.I snorted and stood up."Butler Warren, packed up those filthy foods. We're going out." Butler Warren nodded.His family is destined to work for our family. Their ancestors are indebted to us. So, they promised that from their generation until the last of their generations, they will serve us no matter what happened.Look how selfish human is...Making others suffer from their own mistake and selfishness.Butler Warren has been with me since I was born. He is my most trusted best friend, he knew me more than I knew myself. Just one look from me he understand what I want.I went upstairs and changed my clothes.I look at myself on the mirror, I shook my head as I'm not satisfied without it. I look plain and uncomfortable.I grab my favorite butterfly barrette clip and put it on my my hair before looking at the mirror again.I'm wearing a vintage dress made by the famous designer, Lilybeth Guzman. It was modeled by the famous model, whom I don't know. Who cares about her, she's probably one of those models who hooked up with someone who got power.I looked at my dress again, it's a black colored with a touch of a white butterflies. It's an off shoulder long sleeve dress, it's pretty tight on my body.Mom is probably the one who choose this dress. All my fitted dresses are chosen by her."Young Miss, the car is ready." Butler Warren said across the door.I fixed my dress and put my three inches high heel and grab my pouch.My door opened as the guards at my door heard my heels clicked on the floor. They bowed down as they see me, I just nodded."Young Miss." Butler Warren said as I walk pass through him.I continued walking elegantly, I lifted my chin arrogantly.I saw the maids at the stairs formed in a straight line. Well, it's weird that they always do that because I find it unnecessary. I want them to stop, besides I find it useless it annoys me how they secretly looked at me with their envious gazes.Butler Warren opened the door of the car for me, I sat down. He opened the door besides the driver and sat down. As the driver start to drive Butler Warren asked."Do you want to shop alone?" Looking at me by the mirror in front."You do it." I said lazily and rested my head at the headrest.He is not that old, I think he's at the age between forty an fifty. He don't have a family yet, which I don't understand because he is pretty handsome, he is also filthy rich because his salary in a month is more than a billion!But I guess, he just don't want another generation from them to suffer because of the selfishness of their ancestors. Well, he is thoughtful. That's why I like him.I pulled up my legs and put it besides him. Butler Warren coughed.I looked at him, pouting. "Warren, my legs is tired from walking from that damn long stairs! I've climbed that up from four in the morning till the maids wake up! That old Riana has no mercy!" I angrily told him but he just laughed at me, I even saw the driver smiling.I snorted.This is the real me.I'm not that pathetic to yell at the maids or act rudely at them. I've got a reason for every move I make.I'm actually careless and carefree in front of those who I trust.In that house, they are all aware that I'm the hidden princess but only few knew that I'm the hidden princess of our country.They thought I'm a fool for not knowing my identity. But they didn't know that they are the fool one, being fooled by me.I went out and brought the foods that I told Butler Warren to packed.We're at the mall and he is currently buying things I told him to buy.I frowned when I notice that there are more boxes at the back of the car.I put down the boxes I'm holding and get my pouch. I've got no choice but to buy paper bags.I entered the mall and went at the National Bookstore.Remember Aonaran, just a paper bag. Nothing else. Nothing more.I remind myself.But I should not underestimate myself when it comes to buying things.I sighed and looked at the things I bought. How did I end up buying a books instead of just a paper bag?I shrugged and went at the parking lot. The driver saw me and was about to help me but I told him not to.It's not his job to carry things for me. His job is to drive for me.I just really hate it when things don't fit accordingly. It just irritating as fuck.I finished packing the boxes. I pulled the mask inside my pouch and put it on my face.I gestured the driver I'll just go somewhere.I look around and sigh in relief when I notice no one is following me. Except for the guards who is currently hiding to protect me.I rolled my eyes while looking at the alley ahead. As always, the ground is covered with mud, with garbage everywhere causing it to be smelly. Besides, it's too dark even if the sun is still shining brightly but because of the tall buildings, this alley never felt the sun's warmth.Well, Aonaran you're annoyed but you always do this everyday.I lift up the paper bags I'm holding, trying not to dirt it. There's actually a street lights here but I wish there's none. It's useless since it only lights up whenever it wants, making this place creepy.I put my phone on my mouth after opening its flashlight. Minutes of walking while enduring the smell, I could finally see the light coming from the other side.I frowned as I roamed my eyes around. This place is still the same. I was about to scrunched my nose when I remember I'm wearing a mask."Masked lady is here!" I almost jumped from shock luckily I composed myself on time."Here, help me carry these things.""Wow! It's heavy! You're really strong. Are you wonder woman? Should I call you that instead of masked lady? What do you prefer?" I squinted my eyes on him before poking his forehead."You and your mouth!""Ouch!" He rubbed his forehead and glared at me. "It does not hurt!" He added and laugh.I smiled even though I knew he won't saw it. I called another kid to get the paper bags in my hand.The kid come forward and jokingly bowed down."Stop that!" I said and smack him.These kids!"Masked Lady, where's Old Warren?" The kid asked.I look around, we are not there yet."He went to buy some more.""Lady, what do you think of our house? You keep on dumping things you don't like!" How ungrateful! And what dumping? Do I look like a kid who play a freaking toys?!"Alright, no foods and toys for you!"The kid frowned before smiling sheepishly and look at his younger brother."What do you think?" He ignored his brother and look at me."Masked Lady, you won't really give brother a toy? Toy is more important than food! Forget eating, just play!""Idiot, Baru! You'll die without a food!" The other kid angrily said and glared at his brother, Baru.I secretly laugh silently and followed them to their house.Chapter 2I look around their house as I'm seated on their plastic chair. They don't even have a single sofa! I pouted as I feel my butt starting to get numb...Maybe I should buy them a sofa?"No. You are not." I sneered at her and look away.How could she guess what I was thinking?! She's too smart for seven years old."It's much more comfortable, though...""No. Look at our kitchen, we can't even fit anymore because of too much groceries!" I followed where her finger is pointing at. I tilted my head while looking at their kitchen, almost filled with plastic bags.Well, she can't blame me! I always buy the same thing as what we bought for the mansion. It's too much for me so I thought maybe it will be enough for a day for them. "Then why don't you just sell them, earn it, and buy a new house?!" I suggested but she glared at me. "Isn't that indirectly buying a house for us?" She raised her eyebrow while glaring at me. I chuckled and smack her head. "Ungrateful child!" She snorted
Chapter 3 I glance at Butler Warren when I felt that he keeps on glancing at me while talking with someone on the phone.I pouted and stared at the door. I must be imagining! He can't be that annoying person! I was standing here for like ten minutes already! And I could still not find the courage to enter!'Come on, Aonaran! It's not like your the one at fault to feel that way! There's nothing to be scared of!' I shook my head and nodded. I inhaled heavily and exhaled heavily before I decided to open the door. "Seed-" I was stopped when my eyes instantly landed on the man sitting on the sofa while flipping the magazines. His gaze met mine that made me stop talking.I loudly slammed the door again and this time, I never think of opening it. I'd rather die than open that damn door and embarrassed myself!The way he looks at me brings back all the pain he has caused me. His mere presence annoys me to the bone. I shook my head when memories start to flow inside my mind. It was like
Chapter 4"W-what are you doing here?" I bit my lower lip when I stuttered, I could feel my cheeks turn hot from embarrassment as I look at him suspiciously.I could not help but question him!I heard someone clear her throat loudly from the back which made me stop the urge to ask him again but my eyes never left him.I saw him smirking sexily and scrunching his nose while looking at me playfully before answering my question."Applying." He simply said."Applying?" "Yes." He then again replied like it was nothing while I'm starting to go crazy here. I squinted my eyes and deliberately showed him my middle finger, fast.Butler Warren notice it and simply chuckled before he leaned down a bit and whispered "He seems to be applying to be your bodyguard." My brows furrowed. "But he is a freaking businessman! He is rich! There's no need to work as a bodyguard!" I whispered back. He just shook his head and went back to his original position.That's right. The talk-of-town businessman see
Chapter 5"Who is it?" I asked but no one replied back.Did someone broke the system in our mansion? How could the guards did not notice any strange person? It is heavily guarded!My brother made sure that he bought the best security in the whole world for me! All the security items here a very high tech!"Butler Warren?" I asked but no one answered but instead, it knocked on my door again.Ok, that's it! I stood up and grab my bat under my bed. I always have thing like this hidden in my room for protection. My room have a lots of secrets.I slowly walk towards the door with the bat in my hand, ready to swing it to whoever it is.I'm gripping the bat tightly as I stared at the door, walking slowly. I've been practicing fencing with my brother. I'm expert on it! I don't have to worry that I can't defend myself. It will be too shameful to the royal family and my ancestors! My family is known for being good at martial arts. Basically, we don't really need bodyguards but it was on the r
"I'll only serve, Aonaran." I look at him, amused. But when he saw me looking at him, he suddenly smirk smugly. That's when I knew that he's not serious at all! This guy can never be trusted! I snorted and smirk at him. "Let's see how long you'll last." My brother clap in happiness and he loot at Domenicus full of arrogance. "Sure." Me and my brother talk some things while Domenicus is just standing at the corner, guarding the door. It's been a while since he came home so we really have a lot to catch up. But because he is tired I told him to talk with me tomorrow and rest for now.So, the night ended just like that and when I woke up, I called Butler Warren to help me get in the bathroom and told him to get Riana to help me get dressed. "Young Miss." Riana greeted me as soon as she entered my wardrobe. I nodded."I heard what happened last night. I hope you'd be more careful in the future." I just sat there in my bathrobe while looking at her picking clothes I should wear.Sh
My feet healed after three days. In those three days, I stayed inside my room and never get out. I only instructed Butler Warren to bring foods to the children and that's it. The reunion was also moved today. Luckily, I'm healed so I could go. I've think very hard in those three days. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe father agreed that they should be my bodyguard so I could take my revenge. Or it just my wishful thinking.But it doesn't matter, I'll make them realize how stupid their decisions is. I'll make them regret entering my life again.I've never really thought of taking a revenge but since they find me there self then I don't have a reason not to. They came here willingly that made me feel insulted. They should feel guilty to face me or even get near me but they all acted like its me who wronged them. They shamelessly entered our house without a remorse. "Young Miss, the car is ready." I nodded stood up from my bed and wear my beanie to hide my butterfly barretteLuckily, Old Ria
"Wait." I stop James and the latter look at me, confused. "Well,I just want to give them a surprise. Mind hiding for a minute?" They look at me, more confused but I just smiled. Domenicus nodded and hide behind the wall besides the door. The other four followed. "Do your best!" James said excitement can be seen in his entire face. His hands were up the air, silently cheering for me. Even the three boys followed him and raised their hands but Domenicus just stared at me coldly as if he doesn't care at all. I just smirk at them and never glance at Domenicus again. I step closer from the door, I sighed heavily to calm down and when I did I grab my beanie revealing my long wavy hair and my butterfly barrette. I heard them gasped but I ignored them and opened the door gracefully. I saw people wearing their best dresses, elegantly and arrogant. Men in their tuxedos and look likes a decent person but it was true that no matter how decent you dress if your attitude is stinky, it won't
"So? How does it feel living with your enemies?" She asked that made me frown. "Hell." She chuckled and gulped her wine again and grab another glass. I shook my head as I stare at her. I'm not done drinking my first glass yet but there she is, drunk at least six glasses of wine already! "Must be frustrating to see them everyday." She said with sympathy but her eyes says different. She's laughing at me!This woman!"Guess how many times we fight in one day?" "Every time you see each other?" She answered, unsure. "Yeah! Just seeing his face makes my blood boil! Do you know that since father is busy again, he watch my every move! At the dining, he'll force me to eat veggies! The nerve!" My face grimace remembering the taste of broccoli. I gulped my wine."He is like second Riana! Even Butler Ryu is enjoying my suffering!" She chuckled again and offered me another glass of wine."You let him control you? Girl, shouldn't you learn from your mistake before?" She reminded me and glance
