Enzo P.O.V.

For a moment, there was silence except for the sound coming from the sea. For the first time in my entire life, my tongue felt tied, and I became speechless because I never expected such a shocking confession.

I kept opening my mouth, but no words came out. I cleared my throat and, with a stern voice, I said, “The last time I checked, you told me you are just 18 years old. I think what you said you have is just mere infatuation. I really appreciate you as one of my fans and everythi

    Stella’s P.O.V.Professor Gregory’s Office“Good morning, sir,” I said.“Good morning. Please, have your seat,” he replied.“Some rumours are flying around about you, and I would like to hear your version of the story because I don’t want to believe the rumours are true,” he said.“Sir, if it is about the pictures on the internet, some of them are partly true. I am the one who stepped out of the car. Someone offered me a ride, and I took it. I don’t expect things to escalate to this point,” I explained.“And who is this someone to you?” Prof. Gregory asked, looking straight into my soul.I went silent.Enzo, you are always good at stirring trouble.How was I supposed to explain who Enzo was?My brother.That would make sense. It was simple, believable, and probably the easiest answer.But was he truly my brother?No.And what if the school decided to dig deeper? What if they discovered that we weren’t related at all?I swallowed.Maybe I should just tell him he was Lux.No.Absolutely

    Stella’s P.O.V.“Hop in,” Enzo said as I was about to book a ride to school.“Don’t worry,” I replied.“I’m actually heading to your school area, and this is the one time you’ve been refusing my rides every time. Hope it’s not because you’re being bullied in school,” he said.“Ha-ha-ha.” I chuckled. “You should know that, out of everything, that is the last thing that can happen.”Then he entered the car.“Whether you insist or not, I can just post on my Weibo page that my sis is studying Medicine in X University. It won’t take an hour before my fans fish you out.”“You would not dare,” I replied as I entered the backseat with him.“You know, normal siblings would gist about their school activities with each other, but, humph, it seems like you are made of steel. Don’t tell me you face patients with this kind of face.”…………………Third-Person P.O.V.Sabrina’s ApartmentBoth Sabrina and Celine were scrolling through their phones while Bianca helped them with their assignments.“Bianca, ma

    Tiffany/Stella P.O.V.I was walking out of the medical laboratory when I noticed the small crowd gathered near the staircase.At first, I didn’t pay much attention.Students gathered everywhere on campus. Some were discussing lectures, others were comparing notes, and a few were probably already complaining about the next test.But then I heard a girl’s voice.“Say it again.”I slowed down.The voice belonged to Celine.She was standing in front of another girl who looked completely different from her. While Celine was dressed in an expensive-looking outfit with perfectly styled hair, the other girl wore a simple blouse and a faded skirt. She had a backpack clutched tightly against her chest.“I—I didn’t mean anything,” the girl whispered.Celine folded her arms.“Then why did you say it?”“I was only answering the question.”A few people around them laughed.I stopped walking.The girl looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her.“Do you think because you’re the professor’s favo

    Tiffany / Stella P.O.V.And just like that, House of Eal was born. Due to Enzo’s influence, it didn’t take long before it became a place where celebrities and dignitaries came for anything fashion-related. We dealt not only in clothes but also in jewelry, shoes, and all kinds of fashion accessories.But the owner of the fashion house remained unknown.In no time, I was also able to get my own apartment, although I still loved staying at Enzo’s place most of the time.…………………The moment I stepped through the university gates, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a very long time.Nervousness.It was strange. I had been a university student before. I knew what lecture halls looked like, how crowded corridors could get, and the familiar sight of students rushing around with bags hanging from their shoulders.But this time felt different.Maybe because I hadn’t been in a classroom for so long.The campus was already alive. Students moved in every direction, some hurrying toward their lecture

    Chapter 21Tiffany’s POV“Hell no! Why would you say that?” Enzo replied.“So, what happened? I hope it’s not something serious,” I asked.“It’s not that deep. Calm down. The good news is that you now have an identity,” he said, while handing me an identity card with her name oh, I mean, my new name on it. “Stella Teal. The former owner is dead, and she has no relatives. She grew up in an orphanage, so you don’t have anything to worry about,” he said.“So, about the bad news?”“You will not be able to resume medical school this year. I even tried to lobby around, but I think it would be better for you to go through the normal process, sit for the entrance exams, and voilà, you’ll get in. Don’t worry whether your results are good or bad,” he said.“So that’s what you call bad news?” I asked him.“Isn’t it?” he replied.“For future purposes, it is not. Actually, a year’s interval is pretty good for me. I’ll be able to settle down very well before resuming. And thank you. I’ll surely re

    Tiffany’s POV“I helped you get some stuff,” Enzo said while placing a paper bag on the table.He continued, “This is a mobile phone. You know how to use it, right?”“Whattttt? For your information, I was once a young, wealthy, and dignified lady.”“Oops, I forgot. I thought you were a lost stray?”“You know what? I’m already stressed by that maniac today. I’m not ready for any more drama,” I said.“And this is a laptop,” he continued. “The old man said you learnt some hacking skills. You should be able to earn some cool cash with that for now.”“Yeah, the old man. Did you hear anything from him?”There was a brief silence before he said with a stern look, “I already contacted him last night and let him know that we’ve gotten back to Athens. He sent a signal. I think he’s fine.”“I hope he is,” I added.“Don’t worry about the old man. Old soldiers don’t die easily,” he said jokingly, returning to his usual self.“Let’s focus on you right now. So, what’s the plan? Do you want to contin
