It was a normal day for the people inside the Purple Boutique. It was neither hectic nor boring.Sakto lang. After all, sa mahal ng mga damit na gawa nila, iilan lang ang mga customers nila.But it didn't mean wala silang pera.They had several staffs na pinapasweldo but it was not like they were limited to the work within the Boutique.Ganun ang inabutan nila Emy when they entered the boutique.Agad naman silang sinalubong ng isang babae."Welcome! Anong maipaglilingkod ko sa iyo, Young Miss?"Iniikot muna ni Emy ang kanyang paningin bago tumingin sa sumalubong sa kanya na babae."I'd like to speak to your manager."Nabigla ang babae maging sila Grace at Anika."Err...""I specifically come here today for your manager. Please call him."Him. The woman noticed the pronoun she used. Could it be that she knew Mr. Bao personally?"Please have a seat, Young Miss. I'll be back."Emy nodded a

Emy was silently castigating herself. Sa dinami rami ng pagkakataon na maaari siyang magkapanic attack, kung kelan pa naroroon ang Fifth Prince. As much as possible, she didn't want to get involved with any royal family in this lifetime.After all, she was planning against one of the Princes that's why she needed to be more careful.She looked at the back of the guy in front of her. She knew quite a lot about these princes. It was one of the advantages kapag naging malapit ka sa kahit na kanino na nasa Royal Palace. But truth be told, she was not just a simple acquaintance of Marco. They were almost lovers. Almost because as much as she liked Marco, her father, the Prime Minister, was totally against it.Her father knew how suffocating the game of the imperial harem and he didn't want them to be part of that. Only to get disappointed in the end since both of his daughters died because one of them was already caught up in that game.Anyway, she knew that t

Days quickly passed. Halos mag-kakalahating buwan na rin na pumapasok si Emy sa Grey Academy.Seriously, school bored her to death. Even in her previous life. Mainly because whatever she was learning from school could be easily gain by her once she read a book.But she had to attend school because it was a requirement. So she just entertained herself with another aspect of school.Luckily, Grey Academy was an interesting place. It was very huge and one could easily "get lost" kung hindi ka pamilyar sa mga dapat mong daan.And lately, madalas "maligaw" si Emy sa kung saan saan sa campus.Kanina nga ay panglimang beses na niyang napadpad sa isang corridor ng campus kung saan ay dead end na. The weird thing about that corridor, kahit pa nga dead end na siya, may ilang estudyante ang palaging naroroon. Para bang may binabantayan ang mga ito doon.At dahil panglimang beses na nga niyang naliligaw doon, ipinagdrawing na siya ng mapa kanina ni Bran

Emy needed to recuperate her strength and healed her sprained ankle. Okay lang yung mga sugat niya dahil maitatago ng damit niya ang mga iyon. Pero hindi ang iika-ika niyang paa.Mabuti na lamang at weekend kaya naman may dalawang araw siya para makapagpagaling at makapagpahinga.She just asked her maidservants na ipaalam kanila Lie Feng, Francis at Franco that she caught a flu kaya hindi siya makakalabas sa kwarto niya during weekends. Naniwala naman agad ang mga ito dahil namumutla pa rin hanggang ngayon ang dalaga.Bukod sa gamot na binigay sa kanya nung S, kinailangan niya ring uminom ng gamot para sa dugo. Lia concocted her herbal medicine which could help her fill her blood lost.She focused in healing herself. Alam kasi niya that it would be suspicious kung bigla na lang siyang aabsent. At mas lalo naman kung iika ika siyang papasok. She needed to be in perfect condition by Monday.Kaya naman wala siyang ginawa buong weekend kundi ang magpah

Samantha's weekdays were spent like that. Kada dismissal, sasabihin niya kay Franco na makikipagkita siya kay Lucy at saka mauuna ng umalis. Sinundan niyang minsan ang dalaga at doon nga ito nagpunta pero hindi na siya bumaba sa kabayo niya para pasukin pa ito. He was still curious though kaya naman kinompronta na niya si Lucy isang araw. Lucy told him that she was helping Emy about the initiation day. Ayaw pa nga nitong sabihin ng una pero kinulit niya ito. He didn’t know kung nainis niya ba ang dalaga dahil sa pangungulit niya. She wasn't even looking at him. Napaisip naman siya about kay Emy. At first, he thought bakit kailangan pa nito na kay Lucy lumapit para lang sa gagawin sa initiation day eh andito naman siya. But he realized that Emy must be needing a female guidance. Napakamot na lang siya sa ulo niya. He was about to thank Lucy pero nakaalis
