Sixteen: Mr. Mavero's anger
Erwan’s POV
“Tell me everything that happened and don’t leave anything out,” Mr. Mavero just arrived from his business trip and he immediately asked to see me the moment he came back. He is looking out the window of his office, dressed in a formal business suit.
His aura looks like someone who is plotting a dangerous idea in his mind. It is 8 am in the morning, I can smell the scent of old books that is stored in a shelves in the corner of his office.
I cleared my throat and started to narrate the story.
“Last Saturday, there’s a man who followed Shane the moment she drove out of the mansion.

Shane's POV I am strolling alone in the hallway of our building, I just finished my morning classes and I am on my way to the locker room to store some books when I suddenly felt an arm wrapping me behind my back, the seductive smell of a woman perfume is enough to recognize who it is. “Olivia,” I said as I turned to face her. She let go of my hand and grabbed for my shoulders, looking at me from head to toe as if she were examining every inch of my body. “Can you tell me what you're doing?” I protested, but instead of responding, she simply moved my body around and around, studying it once more. Eventually, she stopped. “Do you know how concerned I am?” her eyebrows furrowed. “I am fine, Olivia. There is nothing to worry about.” “You almost got yourself in danger, and you’re telling me that I do not need to worry?!” she slightly raised her voice that made other students turned to us. I immediately cove

It’s six pm and I invited them to have dinner here because I am going to introduce someone important to them. They also wouldn’t let me go home alone after what happened to the locker’s area.There’s no danger, I am sure that no danger or death whatsoever will come in my way tonight unlike what the red note implies.

He does not know how the idea hits her, but he is aware that she is doubting Erwan. Her questioning stare and doubtful look towards Erwan tell it all. She wants to know it all, but he can’t let her do that in an easy way. He’d been through too much, he can’t let the plan go to waste like this.He paces back and forth inside the darkroom, there is a table with a laptop and a lot of piled papers in top of it. His jacket is wrapped on the back of the swivel chair. He walked to and fro around the room, trying to figure out what to do next. His shadow follows him as his tall and slim figure wandered about the room. The pictures pinned in a wide black bulletin board on the left corner always remind him of his target, of what should he do and what he should
The Fake Engagement Twenty: Veronica
Shane’s POVErwan Fuenter.I typed his name on the search bar of my Instagram account and sneak into his profile. I scrolled down on his account trying to find some clue about his past. His recent post was a year ago, it is a picture of a girl smiling sweetly on the camera. It was captured on the beach, the girl wears a bikini while she sat on the sand.I read the caption of the photo, Veronica, the girl with the sweetest smile. Lovely.It is her, I see, the girl who captured Erwan’s heart. The thought of them together holding hands while walking on the beach and watching the sunset together suddenly entered my mind. How does it feel to be his girl?I shook my head. I just can’t imagine him flexing someone in his Instagram account. He isn’t the type of guy who would do such a thing. But Erwan is Erwan, he is full of surprises. He thinks differently, maybe that’s the very reason w
The Fake Engagement Twenty-one: Avoiding him
Shane's POVI arrived at school almost 10 minutes before class, I was too busy doing my assignment report for our marketing subject and I don’t know if it is because of my curiosity or my suspicions regarding Erwan but I got distracted by the image of the girl that I saw in his Instagram account. While doing the report, I found myself wondering about her and where she is now.If you’ll ask me if this is normal, of course, it is. Curiosity is normal.I am lucky enough that the professor is still not around by the time I arrived at the classroom. I glance around and frowned when I saw someone sitting in my usual spot. What a lucky morning, indeed.The only vacant seat now is in the back row which happened to be beside Erwan. It is not a good thing because I decided that I should not be attached to him, especially today.Today is the crucial part of my investigation. I have this strong feeling that I wi

Are you somehow in love with him now?”A shrug escapes my shoulders before I let out a sigh and respond. “No, but who knows. Maybe if we try, we can somehow click.”“Be careful, Shane.”“Huh?”“If you think you can’t stop yourself from falling in love with him, please make

He shook his head and blink for probably five times before finally deciding that I am indeed real.The bark of the dog from the distance can be heard up here, but apart from that, the room is still and silent.Jeez, my fingertips felt like they were about to freeze.How come I did not thought that someone might be here? I was so sure that everything will go according to my plans. I was wrong because I am already caught before I even got started."Uh, hello," I said, raising my hand and giving him my most awkward smile.He remained silent.
