CHAPTER 9 - Galleria Inspirato
CHAPTER 9 – Galleria Inspirato
The man started swinging the knife in his hand. He’s swinging it real fast and I’d be dead meat if it touches me. The good thing is I managed to avoid all of his attacks. Though that one attack from earlier almost hit my forehead or did it already? I have no time to think about that.
I get ready to prepare for an offense. But how should I do it? Aha! An idea came to my mind. I must get rid of that knife first. Everything will go smoothly if that’s out of the picture. To do that, I have to move quickly and aim for perfect timing.
Just when he is about to swing the knife to the left side, I immediately blocked it with my right foot.
Clang!
Great! The force is just enough for it to slip on the man’s hand. He seems quite flustered because of my sudden moves.
He was about to pick the time but I kicked it towards Yuji’s direction. I quickly glanced at him then nodded. He picked the knife then kee

CHAPTER 10 - Gold for Gold “Come on guys, time’s over. We still have two more museums to visit,” Ms. Amanda said. They started to head outside. Wait, what shall I do with this painting? This could give me a clue! I just took a photo of it for now. I’ll check it when I go home. I decided not to tell it to Yuji for now. This might just cause another worry for him. Besides, I’m still not sure what this painting is all about. Who knows that a raven with a rose is just a common symbol used by people. After visiting the Galleria Inspirato, we decided to stop by a restaurant to eat lunch. Everyone is really hungry so we ordered real fast. It is just the start of our tour yet I have already run out of energy. There’s too much happening just for this day. I might not understand a thing when we visit the next museums. After almost an hour, we finished our lunch. We are now on the way to our second destination. What was the name of it ag

CHAPTER 11 – The Welcoming Party“Glad you made it here, Ysabella and Yuji.”Who is this mysterious lady? Could she be the one who sent us the invitation? Who was it again? Ah, IV it is. I’m quite not sure how to pronounce that name though.“Who are you?” I asked.She gave me a smile first before answering me,” You’ll know in a little while. For now, come and follow me. The party’s about to start,” she started to head upstairs.Yuji just gave me a shrug then follow the lady.Before we can fully enter the main door, a couple of guards are in front of it, asking for our invitation before letting us in.“Did you bring it?” asked Yuji.I open my purse then looked for the invitation, “Yes,” I said waving the invitation.Wow. The scenery outside was nothing compared to what I am seeing right now. I tried to hide how much awestr

CHAPTER 12 – Meeting IVMartina walked us to the elevator. She pressed the number 4 button. My mind is still trying to process that this is a mansion, not a five-star hotel. But everything looks extravagant so that fact hasn’t sunk in my mind yet.The three of us are waiting for the elevator to reach the fourth floor. Yuji spoke out of nowhere, “Would you mind if I ask?” He turned his head in Martina’s direction.What will he ask? He hasn’t told me anything. He just keeps quiet the whole time so I don’t know what’s exactly going on in his mind.Martina slightly shakes his head, “What did I tell you a while ago? I am in no position to answer your questions. Just wait a little longer.”“But—” Yuji couldn’t finish what he is about to say because the elevator suddenly opened.“We’re here.” Martina walked out of the elevator. Yuji and I sti
The Outlaw CHAPTER 13 - More Than One Point
CHAPTER 13 – More Than One Point Even before I had Ringo Dingo, I had been into a lot of trouble already. There are times that mom would get mad at me because of this. But so far, Ringo Dingo was the biggest thing I’ve been into. Imagine how mad the school authorities will be if they found out that their top-performing students are just paying me to do their academic stuff. If this will also come out of hand, the school’s image would be tarnished. In worst cases, the overall ranking of Adelaide Academy will definitely drop. Upon knowing those possibilities, I still did not stop running Ringo Dingo. Instead, I am working hard to make my business grow. This is the only way I know that will help me in surviving this life. Even my own parents forgot about me. I haven’t heard a thing from them since the day they left me. It’s funny how I still call them ‘parents’ even though they didn’t treat me as their child. I had no one else to run. It has always been myself a
The Outlaw CHAPTER 1 - Ringo Dingo
CHAPTER 1 - Ringo DingoI was in the middle of the class when my phone suddenly vibrated. I sneaked it under my table and read the notification shown on the screen. 1 request from client Blue_Berry. Another client, eh? Business is going smoothly these days. I just put back the phone in my bag and will decide later whether to accept the request or not. By the way, I am using two cell phones. One is for personal use and the other one is for business. I am Ysabella Mia Morgan, a Grade 12 student at Adelaide Academy. It is a Catholic school and is well-known all over the country because most of the students here are born with a silver spoon. But I am not like them. I crawled my way up here. Things were light before, though. I do not have to worry about financial stuff or so. Not until my parents decided to have a divorce because they couldn’t afford to live with each other anymore. They have their own families now and I di
The Outlaw CHAPTER 2 - The Alliance
CHAPTER 2 – The AllianceRingo Dingo is an application that provides academic service to students. I created this app two years ago to help me with my financial expenses. How does this app work?Basically, a potential client must receive an invitation from me before he/she can download the application and use it. But I just don’t simply accept clients. They have to pass the “screening” first. The screening will test how well-off they are and if they can afford the rates we give.After that, I’ll hand them a contract containing all the rules and conditions when using my services.I am the founder of this app. As my business grows, I can’t cater all the clients anymore that’s why I have three employees under me. Namely: Eunice, Josh, and Samantha.Josh is my classmate while the other two are from different sections. We’ve been working together for a year and a half already. All three of

CHAPTER 3 – Reckoned“I am accepting your offer,” he uttered which made me smile.“Good decision. You can start by tomorrow.”“But in one condition.”Huh?!This is so sudden. I wasn’t expecting him to bring up a condition before accepting my offer. I wasn’t prepared for this. But I want to hear him out. Maybe the condition he’s asking for isn’t that hard.“What’s it?” I asked, trying to hide the shock from my face.“I don’t wanna be just your employee. I want to co-run the business with you.”“Are you kidding me?!” Never in my wildest thoughts, I expected the condition to be like this. What the hell is wrong with him?!“I want to earn as much you’re earning,” he calmly said, as if it’s a simple thing.I was dumbfounded

CHAPTER 4 – Morning StarSaturday. Today marks the first day of Yuji as my business partner. I had been tired for the whole week and thinking about our conversation yesterday makes my head ached. Anyway, it already happened and nothing will change anymore. I just have to deal with it.It’s 10 AM in the morning when I went out of the house. I am going to the nearest mall for grocery shopping. Upon arriving, I opened the notes on my phone and look for the list of the things I must buy.I am planning to have a simple broccoli pasta salad for lunch. I got a rotini pasta, broccoli, tomato paste, and other condiments. I also look for other food and things on my list. Since I am running out of stock of detergent powder, I got some too.After I pay my grocery, I immediately went out of the supermarket. I stopped by one of my favorite shops and look for some art materials. I needed new paintbrushes since the ones
