Sandra's POVNext morning I went for a run which I had been skipping for the past two days. After that I carried the bag on my back, came out of the room and went to the kitchen for a light breakfast. "Good Morning Aunt Lucy."I greeted Aunt Lucy with a smile."Good morning darling"I noticed something about Aunt Lucy's behavior in the past few days. Whenever she is worried about something or there is something on her mind, she would call me "darling", in normal talks she would call me "dear" and when she is angry she would call me "Veronica". "What happened Aunt Lucy?"She sighed."You haven't even moved yet and I already started missing you. I am gonna miss you. A lot."I smiled."I am just moving to the building next door. I will visit you regularly and you can also visit me whenever you want. What? Is it not allowed?""Yeah. We can visit each other."But she still looked depressed. So, I gave her a tight hug. Aunt Lucy froze at first but soon returned the hug.She went to kitche

Sandra's POVSoon the break was over and we again went to train. This time Steffany was also present there. She assigned partners to everyone except me and told us to fight with our partners. A girl has asked for leave during the lunch break so that's how I was the only one left without a partner to fight with."Veronica!" She called me.-Looks like she already knows my new name.-I walked to her and stood in attention."Since you are new here, you should first have some basic knowledge about fighting. Do you have any knowledge beforehand?"She asked me."If I had known how to fight beforehand then I wouldn't have been standing in front of you today. I might have been at home with my parents."I replied with sarcasm."Hmm. I'll be teaching you from now on."I nodded."Let's get started."She assigned me some exercises to increase the strengths of my hand and gave me some moves to practice first.And went away to the other girls to tell them their mistakes.The whole day till six in th

Victor's POVNext day I decided to catch the figure. So I hid in the jungle around the time the person sneaked out. I didn't have to wait for long. Soon she came dressed all back and went into the jungle. I followed her silently. I have been trained since childhood so she can't notice. But still I was extra careful as I still don't know who she is exactly and what she is hiding. She walked for 15 minutes approx and stood in front of a tree. There she bent down for a minute, got up and left in the direction from where she came. I came out of the hiding after she left and went to the tree to take a look.Six boiled eggs are on the ground and some crumbs of eggs around them. I stayed there for sometime and left.I followed her for three nights straight. Everyday she would sneak out at the same time, go to the same tree, stay there for a minute to put down the eggs and would leave.Everyday the previous eggs would be missing. I want to find out who is taking the eggs. I have a doubt as i

CHAPTER 18Lucas's POVI entered a room after confirming that there isn't anyone inside the room and Grace followed me inside.Before Grace could close the door I pulled her into a hug. I pecked her lips. She tried to push me away."What are YOU doing ? What if someone came ? "She whispered."Nobody will come. Everyone's busy at the party."I said and again pulled her for a kiss.At first she tried to resist the kiss but soon gave in. We parted to take a breath. Grace's face has turned red. She hid her face in my chest. I smiled and embraced her.Suddenly I heard someone gasping. I looked up and there she was standing at the door.........Amber. She has a shocked expression on her face. My heart sank when I saw the disappointment on her face."Brother....? Grace......? When....?You.... You both ?Behind my back."I looked at Grace whose face colour instantly went from red to white."Brother, she is my classmate. "Then she looked at Grace."You know that he is my brother. Then how c

Veronica's POVThe birthday celebration is at The Cold Man's house. So everyone has gone there. I am the only one left behind. Anna had told me in the afternoon to accompany her and the other girls. I made an excuse and told her to go first as I might be late. Fortunately everyone was told beforehand to not bring any gifts and were invited just to enjoy else I don't know what I would have given the birthday girl as a gift. I had never had friends in my life due to constant moving and shifting houses from one city to another and sometimes because others are reluctant to talk to me because of me being different from them in looks. So I never attended any b'day parties in the past and don't know what to give.The party is being held in the courtyard so I went there straight just to show my face or maybe just to give my attendance. I didn't eat anything that was served there as most of it was non vegetarian. The birthday girl isn't here yet. Anna told me a few things about Amber.She told
