Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, brushing off my yawn, I remembered Ace. I hurried outside the room and noticed the apartment being empty. I checked Bernie's room and came to the conclusion that he left. I let out a relief sigh and walked to my room. After getting a shower, I got into my casual clothes and boiled some instant noodles to eat. While eating, I looked at the door. Bernie said he'll be here by morning. It's already 10. Why hasn't he come back? Is he going to stay there for another day? After waiting for some time, I locked the room and came downstairs. After giving the spare key to Mr Hernandez, I headed to the college. After 20 minutes of travelling in the bus, I got down at the stop near my college. It takes a 5 mins walk to reach the college from the bus terminal. Inside college, while I was on my way to the class, I saw Lucas being all smiley to the girl beside him. It's the girl I saw before. Are they dating? Who cares! "Louisa!" Who's calling my name? When I turne

Louisa's p.o.v;After the first hour got over, I walked to my next class thinking about the place where Mr Hernandez mentioned it's dangerous to go. Even though he said not to go, I've been thinking of a way to go there. That's the only lead I got so far. While i was walking i bumped into someone accidentally, "I'm sorry, i didn't see…" by the uniform, i realised it was a teacher, "I'm sorry, teacher…" when i looked at the face, "Nicolas?" He shushed me and said, "Come with me." And took me to the nearby classroom. It was empty. After we came into class, he closed the door behind us."Nicolas, what are you doing here?"He stood in front of me and said, "Keep it low. What if someone hears you?" When I stared at his uniform, he continued, "I'm the new transferred teacher for literature.""Teacher? For literature?""Yes, I'm a teacher so don't call me by my first name."I think he didn't know that I'm his student yet. I smiled and teased him while asking, "Then, how do you want me to ad

Louisa's p.o.v;I came to the address where Mr Hernandez said it was dangerous for the people my age but i can't stay still after getting a lead. I was tortured for this stone. How can I give up that easily? I walked into the alley wearing a black hoodie to hide my face, while I was already inside the alley, there were many people who looked like they're dope. I looked for the house number he mentioned in the paper but I couldn't find it. I should find it before someone else notices me. I finally saw the house number that I was searching for. It is really my lucky day I guess. There was no one at or near the house so I knocked on it. The door wasn't open by anyone inside. Is it empty? I looked for the windows in the house. I spotted a window on the first floor, I climbed up the house and tried to open the window. It wasn't locked. Does that mean someone is inside? I looked inside the house through the window but there wasn't anyone. I opened the window and jumped into the house and c

Louisa's p.o.v;"Are you sure about this?" Mateo, one of Ace's closest bodyguards, asked me when I got into the car along with my bag of clothes. "Yes." "I hope you don't regret this." The car started. While we're on the way to Ace's house, I looked outside thinking about the rich guy I saw that day. How would I find him just by his face? It would be better if I had known his name by that time but they didn't talk much. I wonder how I'm going to find him in this big city with only remembering his face.After thirty minutes of travelling in the car, we reached Ace residence. I got out of the car with my bag and walked inside the house. Ace was standing near the door saying, "I didn't expect you to be here when you said you're coming. I thought you were lying."I walk past him into the house. He grabbed my hand and said, "Don't ignore me while I speak. I hate people when they're not paying attention.""Then hate all you want. I didn't come here to earn your love or something." And w

Louisa's p.o.v;After walking out of the hospital filled with guilt, I headed to the casino hoping to see that rich guy by chance. At the illegal casino, When I walked down the alley, it was different than before. There were more people than that day making it difficult for me to keep my disguise. I pulled up the hoodie a bit forward on my face and walked looking down. When the casino was in sight, I spotted guards on the door. They were never there before. How will I get into the casino now? I stopped some few steps away from the casino and looked at it thinking about a way to get in. I thought they'd move away for a moment but they didn't move even after the clock striked 7pm. When will they move away from here? Someone tapped on my shoulder, when I turned with fear, I saw Nicolas which made my heart beat again."Why did you scare me like that?"Nicolas folded his hands and asked, "Did you come here for that friend of yours?""Of all people, why would I get caught by you?""I tol
