In annoyance, they rose to their feet at once.“You… I’ll make sure I ruin you. I’ll sue you and sue this school. I won’t stop until I see you hit the rock bottom!”“Also, all the money my wife and I have spent on this damn school, I want everything returned—every dime! You ingrate!”“I promise you, by the time I’m done with you, you’ll come crawling back on your knees—by then, it’ll be too late.”With all of that said, Minister Lewis stormed out of the office. Madam Lewis and her daughter remained behind.With fire blazing in them, Madam Lewis ran her eyes over the woman at the side of the desk. “Like my husband said, every penny we spent here must be refunded. Be ready for what’s coming as you’ll be hearing from us soonest.” “Let’s go, Vicky.”Then the mother and daughter also barhed out of the principal’s office.After the family of three had left, Mrs. Babington didn’t waste time at all and hastily picked up her phone from the desk.She pressed it hard on her ear and spoke into th

Just how?Could it have been Alicia???How could she be so stupid to the extent of ruining, not only his career, but his whole life?Simply because he didn’t fulfil his promise of letting her strut down the runway with top models at Shanghai Fashion Week.But it wasn’t his fault. He just was unable to secure a spot for her. Shanghai Fashion Week was a national occasion. Only A-listers and B-lister models were able to perform. Alicia wasn’t even a D-lister. Different emotions kept flooding through Minister Lewis’ mind. He ignored the man that was still ranting on the phone and slowly turned to take a look at his sleeping wife. He prayed silently for the woman to be fast asleep. But as fate would have it, the woman was wide awake. In fact, she was already in a sitting position, her legs were crossed, her arms folded, and her back was resting against the headboard.The minister met his wife’s piercing gaze and he swallowed the big lump that had formed in his throat uneasily. The cou

***About an hour later, Beats Corporation’s headquarters.The CEO was currently seated calmly behind his desk while his assistant simply stood by the side. Both of them had their eyes fixated on the large screen that was in the office. It was a few minutes past midmorning and the news was on. The news channel was recording live. On the large indoor LED screen was Minister Lewis being arrested and hauled away by the police while also being surrounded by reporters who were hungry for details.Turned out to be that even till the very end, the man was promiscuous. The police didn’t find him in his home.He was found at his sidechick’s place. The crazy part was that it was his wife who called the police and told them his current address.Right on the screen, Madam Lewis was there too. As well as Alicia Dawson. The latter looked badly beaten, her face was bruised and swollen.Anyone could roughly guess what happened to her. Hm.Lucas picked the remote from the desk and switched off t

—Mia was on her way to the alley and she hadn’t gone far away from the school when someone approached her all of a sudden and said: “Hello.”With a sudden upward glance, Mia was entranced by the beauty of a pair of piercing blue eyes.Right before her was a man standing tall with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline, the kind that made you take notice. His tousled black hair was styled in a messy quiff and his deep blue eyes held a mischievous glint in them. He was dressed in a well-fitted T-shirt and black jeans that fit him like a glove, which only added to the air of confidence and playfulness he was exuding.For a moment, Mia felt completely lost. She was mesmerized. How could a man look so charming and glamorous?But the man’s soothing voice soon pulled her out of her reverie. “Did you hear what I just said, Miss?“Mia blinked frantically as she gazed at him. She was a bit taller than her so she had to angle up her head to see his face. He had a carefree smile tugged at the

***By the time Mia arrived at the villa, it was already in the evening. Thankfully, the demi-god usually didn’t get home until midnight or she didn’t know what would have become of her this evening.She had spent a lot of time gallivanting around in search of Veronica and by the time she got to the bus stop, her bus had already moved.She had to wait for over thirty minutes before the next one came. Her dad had cut her off and had to be careful with her spendings so she couldn’t take a taxi.After getting on the bus, heavy traffic then showed Mia hell.Tomorrow was another day to make payment for…Mia heaved a sigh and she dragged her heavy feet into the house.From the front doorway, she yelled out a greeting to everyone to signal that she was back from school. It was what she did everyday, whenever she returned: “Good evening, everybody. I’m back.” The maids in sight sank low in cursy when the saw her. They didn’t bother to approach her to collect her school bag as they knew she
