A flustered Ryker paced back and forth in his dimly lit office, his mind racing as he tried to figure out the best way to find Andrea. He had gone back to Law College to find her just a few minutes ago. Despite scouting the whole school over and over with his men, there was no shadow of her. He even checked the school's security footage and realized she first walked into the parking lot before moving into the darker part of the school where the camera could no longer make her out. "Listen up!" he shouted at his soldiers who were in front of him, his voice trembling with anger. "I want Andrea found! Kill anyone that stands in your way of achieving that."Davis, who was leading the group, nodded. He walked out with them and in front of Ryker's door, dished out more orders. "Go out there and scour the city," he started, his eyes darting around their faces, "Talk to anyone and everyone who might know where she is. Use whatever means necessary to get the information we need."The men n

Andrea opened her eyes the next morning thanks to her phone which vibrated incessantly on her drawer. Reluctantly, she reached towards it and pressed it to her ears without looking at the screen. "You little brat! You finally decided to return after going away for five years!" Those were the loud and harsh words that succeeded in totally eradicating the sleep in her eyes. She sat up and intended to end the call when the voice came up again, "You dare to hang up on me like you've always done and I will directly report you to your father!" 'Ah, what a nuisance!' Andrea thought as she got out of bed. Nevertheless, she didn't let it affect her tone of voice as she asked, "I didn't expect to see your call all of a sudden, master." "I also didn't expect you'll return so soon, Andrea." The man replied, his harsh tone replaced with a soft one. Andrea took the phone away from her ear and stared at the screen. Just like she thought, the man used a new number since she had blocked his number

The door opened and Andrea walked out. She walked to one of the two empty seats remaining and sat on it. At this point, Valerie bit on her lower lip. She didn't need anyone to tell her she would fail the audition. With Andrea not being around to tutor her on what to do, not auditioning sounded like a better option. Jane was soon called in and the latter got up. Valerie cast a worried glance towards Andrea's direction and bit on her lower lip. She got up and walked into the corridor where she phoned Georgina. "Mother, Andrea is auditioning as well. And she has even gotten a spot." Valerie said bitterly as soon as the call connected. Georgina said nothing for a while before sighing, "There are still two more seats, Valerie. Andrea takes one, Jane takes one and you take the other. Then when you three get admitted you can make the life of that little bit.ch a living he.ll.""I wish that was the case, mother." Valerie mumbled, rubbing her forehead, "Damon auditioned as well and he pas

Andrea's eyes deepened when the man said nothing for a long time. She looked up at him in a slight provocation. "Fine then. I guess the bet is off then." She flashed him a smile which implied he just missed an opportunity to make 200 million. "Fine." He finally blurted out, taking out his phone, "But how am I sure you will keep to your own end of the bargain by giving me three hundred million once I win?" Andrea glanced at Davis who was right beside her with a funny look. "His name is Davis and he lives in Beaufort Estate, house 1, the most beautiful house at the end of the estate. Does he sound like someone who'd run with your money?" Davis was rendered speechless. He already guessed from her previous behavior that she was running low on money and since he refused to lend her the other day, she thought of this. How clever!The man on the other hand, nodded. "Forgive my rude manner. My name is Ryan Myers." Andrea merely hummed and took out her phone as well. She failed to notice

Ryker dropped Andrea in Law College where there was a car already waiting for her. "I was invited to a ceremony today and was wondering if you'll want to go with me?" Ryker said hesitantly. Andrea had her back turned to him as she tried to open the door. "Sure. What time is it?" The man raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was getting ready to use his authoritative tone on her. Nevertheless, this attitude of hers kept scaring him the most. "Starts at 8pm. I'll send Hayden to pick you up." He replied and she nodded. Then she opened the door and walked out of it. Almost immediately, Davis drove forward in the Lamborghini. Ryker nodded at him before driving away. "Please don't tell me you made us wait because Andrea!" Jane huffed at the agent. The woman bowed slightly, "I'm sorry for the delay, but I was told not to leave anyone behind. Thankfully, she's here, meaning we can go now."Jane scoffed, but said nothing else. Thankfully, it was a limousine which meant the three of them h
