Chapter 12‍Wisdom and ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍RidiculeAfter a while, they arrived at Wilson's house. It was a duplex, quite exotic yet simple in a sense. There were a lot of flowers crawling over the walls, a few skillful sculptures, and creative drawings on designated areas of the wall, with well-trimmed flowers at the entrance. The interior of the house was, wow! long coated walls, a long shelf towering to the roof, consisting of rows of books, encyclopedias, and whatever, and a long lather rested on the shelf.Wilson led him to a comfy chair with a tv screen in front of them. He picked up the telephone which was at the side table and placed it in front of them.Alfred and Wilson were the only ones inside the sitting room, Wilson had ordered the guards to stay outside as soon as they approached the front yard. "Have a seat" Wilson said to Alfred and gestured to a chair just behind Alfred. "Thanks," Alfred said sitting down without taking a look to see where the chair was placed. When he enter

Chapter 14‍She left!‍The rest of the week ran by like it couldn't wait for Alexandria to leave Luna Land, Alexandria was gloomy throughout the week but she tried to put on a bold face in front of her parents, she knew this was hard for them too, 'after all, am daddy's warrior, I am a strong girl, I can do this she thought to her self trying to gather courage. Her parents were understanding, they stood by her, once, she cried herself to sleep in her mother's lap, while her mother patted her hair, and they both sang together a poem which they usually sang in their trying times.__when the sun rises to say hello, it won't find me blinded by anger and pain in the dark night, the sound of breaking hearts wouldn't make me deaf to the cries of others____I won't faint, and though I fall time without number, I would take a break, gather my strength, and won't forget to rise up again____when the sun finally says hello, it would catch me doing my business, the things that have to be done by

Chapter 16‍Who are you? New uncle?‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Alexandria watched herself in the mirror turn into a princess as Agnes dressed her. It was strange letting Agnes dress and comb her hair since only herself, her momma, and her dad was allowed to do that. Not like anyone else opted to do it. She didn't even know any of her relatives_uncles or even grandparents. She just assumed her grandparents were dead even before she was born and maybe her parents were the only child of their parents too just like her, she never really took time to think about it, so she never bothered to ask her parents and the topic just never came up.Agnes braided the sides of Alexandria's hair, she was wowed by the color of Alex's hair, she combed her hand through Alex's back hair to detangle it and tried starting a little chat with Alex. she found the child adorable. "So your name is Alexandria, right?" She asked. "Yes, miss" Alex simply replied, "nice name" Agnes affirmed, "thank you," Alex said as she smiled. "Y

Chapter 18AmusedFinally Ben and Alex arrived at the building where Ben's office was located. "Good morning Mr. stone" some of the passers-by greeted "good morning sir" the others greeted, as he passed by. 'Mr. Stone, that should be his surname, and he feels quite popular here, like a boss or something I thought."Good morning" Ben replied cheerfully. "Hi pretty", Hello sweetheart", " what a cutie! Mr stone is this a relative" woh! a whole lot of compliments and questions flew past as Alex walked down the corridors with Ben. Probably this was why Ben had her or dressed up, whatever, am not sure, just finding it difficult trusting a man who is taking her to a lad. It was normal to have kids around the academy at this period due to the latest scheme so they didn't bother about why she was there. Ben walked into his office a pile of documents was waiting on his desk which he was supposed to give attention to, they were the new intake of students of which Alex is supposed to be part, a

Chapter 20‍Unfair? Bigger than this?"Am sorry Mr. Stone we aren't taking any more applications, if you noticed I only sent you files for fifteen students of which you are to select only ten, the scheme wasn't really successful, the other boards approved of it but the medical board aren't really in support, they say the influence of the Academy might be detrimental to the childhood of young ones, and they managed to convince the other board members.""When we insisted that this scheme was necessary they only allowed us to take in ten students as a tryout, if it is proven successful then we can take in more students in the next one or two years depending," Mr. Xian said. "Is there nothing we can do?" Ben asked desperately, he had promised Alfred to put Alex in the school, he believed the scheme was going to be successful, 'why all this?' He thought"There is nothing we can do now Mr.Stone, those names of children you see there had been thoroughly selected, they are considered to have p
