Emily’s POV: “How is he connected to you?” Melissa asked her. She bent her face down and began to think deeply. “Did he bully you?” I asked her anxiously and she looked back at me as if I said something true. She paused for a while and then added, “No he didn’t” “So then what did he do?” I asked her. She was resisting to speak anything about him but after a while she started. “Have you guys heard the famous story about his previous school?” She asked both of us. “Um… About that guy who fought with Aiden and then that guy went missing…” Melissa started. “And was found dead then” She completed the story. “Yes we have heard it. So do you know anything about it?” I asked her restlessly. “Yes. That guy… who was found dead… was…” She paused and then gulped down after which she added, “He was my cousin, Micah” Her revelation caused me and Melissa to widen our eyes and look at her in horror. “What?” I couldn’t believe her. “But how…? I mean your cousin was in St. Peter’s?” Melissa

Emily's POV: I looked at the person coming out of the car and stood there. The man who came out of the car was wearing a black jeans, a black shirt and a black leather jacket on top and was not at all following the theme but was looking gorgeous anyway. As he looked up on me, I saw Aiden Bryce standing in front of me with a cold icy gaze that made me shiver a bit. He deepened his eyes on me and then tilted his face to look at me from up to down while I got uncomfortable. After a few seconds of staring down at my dress, he scoffed and then shook his face, sighing. I wanted to ask him the reason of that weird staring and scoffing while looking at me. "Um..." I started. "Don't you start in front of me" He said bitterly and then rolling his eyes, walked away from there while his three musketeers followed him behind. I turned to Melissa and then said, "What the hell is wrong with him?" "Why is he always so grumpy and rude?" I asked in frustration. "I know..." Melissa turned to me and

Emily’s POV: As I saw him walking to the dance floor, I had a halt in my pace. “What happened? Let’s go” Melissa whispered to me. I kept looking straight at those four guys stepping up on the dance floor. Melissa turned her face to the right and saw them after which she turned to me and added, “Hey… Let’s keep walking. Ignore them” I reluctantly nodded and continued to walk. I don’t why I was coming in front of him despite of him threatening me. I had a feeling that he might do something to me if I continue to come in front of his eyes but I was not stepping back and was going to face him no matter what. May be it was because of Melissa and the strength she was always putting in me and giving me that confidence to fight for myself. That’s why I love her the most. As we stepped up on the dance floor and waited for Ryan, I tried to avoid an eye contact with Aiden or any of his friends. I don’t know why they were acting like that all of a sudden. I recalled the day when the phone dra

Emily’s POV: I looked up at him anxiously and wondered what he was going to say next. I thought he was going to offer me an alliance with him and then play against Aiden but considering his friendship and his bond with Aiden since childhood, I refused to what I was thinking. “Um… What is it?” I asked anxiously. “It’s um…” Dylan started and took a step towards me to add, “I am thinking that you might not be comfortable with dancing with me. So if you want, um… you can back off, you know…” It came as a surprise to me when those words came out of the mouth of a person who is such a dear friend of Aiden. “Ah – What?” I couldn’t believe. I thought maybe because of the loud music, I misheard something. “You can refuse to dance…” Dylan said a bit louder. “If you want…” He added. “Are you…“ I looked here and there to see if any of the volunteers were watching and lowered down my voice. “Are you sure?” I asked. “Yes I am sure, Emily. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable around

Emily’s POV: I looked at him with my eyes wide open while he kept smirking at me. “Can I have my servant now?” Dylan said and smiled with his hands wide open. I looked at him angrily and then looked at the back from where Aiden, Lucas and Mason walked forward with a smirk on their faces. “What the hell…?” I whispered to myself as I regretted the decision to trust Dylan and show empathy for him while he was in fact having bad intentions for me. “Who’s your servant?” Aiden asked him and then looked at me. Dylan took out his phone from his pocket and touched it after which the phone played this: “I don’t want to dance, Dylan really” It was my voice and he recorded that! They chuckled and Dylan placed the phone back in his pocket. “No one is his servant” Melissa spoke up from behind and then walked forward to stand by me. Aria and Oliver followed her behind. “Of course I have my servant here” Dylan said and smiled. I gulped and wanted to cry. Dylan took some steps towards me an
