11. Visit and Test
Lia ran away the moment she knew that her mother was planning to throw a welcome party. She didn't want to be recognized by the kid when she met him as his aunt. That would blow her cover. Also, she was being cautious. Because she was at home, someday she could slip up and jeopardize this entire operation. She wouldn't want that obviously because she would lose so much money.Aster was puzzled but he didn't say anything. She was being cautious and you couldn't say no to that."Where's your sister?"Jake looked left and then right. He got up from the sofa and searched the balcony, home office, and finally her bedroom. Lia wasn't there."Mom, she's not here.""I'm really fed up with you kids. You disappear when we unpack and she disappears when we have to host a party."Seeing his mother mumbling, Jake slowly reached out to eat a cookie on the plate kept aside.He was about to touch when he was hit with a spatula.He looked up and found his mother glaring at him. "It was worth a shot.

12. Threats and Mates
Trainwreck. This was a trainwreck. Asher had tears in his eyes as he gazed away from Lia. Lia who was a child king in her childhood was stumped at this development. She did nothing. It was a big mistake.She just entered the room and she tripped over a wire. Unfortunately, that wire was placed behind the card tower made by the kid. And it collapsed gorgeously. It all happened in slow motion. It was enthralling like the dominoes falling. And at the same time, Asher was about to cry."I don't like you."He yelled and ran away. Lia looked broken by her luck just now. This was a huge difference from what she witnessed and expected. She saw her brother charming this kid and herself disgusting him, probably. Lia wanted to cry.Aster didn't wake up from the fast chain of events unfolding before him. He didn't have time to utter a word or even a gasp.It was maybe the fastest worst first impression ever. And to top it the first impression was already made with a lot of prejudice."I'd bet

13. Songs and Crushes
"I was worried about you."Lia told Aster when her call finally got through. "I'm fine now. I should be asking you. How are you? This should be the first time you faced something like this, right?""Yeah, it was unexpected. Does this happen to you often?"She was insanely curious."Want the truth or lie?""Lie.""This was the first time."Lia chuckled."I want to ask you something.""What?""You could get out of this. Such things will happen more and more and the danger will only increase. You could quit right now."Lia paused.She had to think about this. She didn't envision saying yes but she saw herself saying no. Maybe earlier she would not be willing to enter this den of thieves. But now, she saw him something as a friend. She didn't want him to fight this all alone."I just need you to protect my mom and brother. And also me. I can be your less involved partner.""Haha."Aster felt happy. He unconsciously didn't want her to accept this offer.The question posed itself again whe

14. Beatings and Heartbeat
"You are staying home often these days," Jake observed.Lia nodded. She found that she was jobless. Because she was still working on the website, she didn't take on any new projects but that meant staying quiet a lot and getting taunted."Why? You are supposed to be in the college but here you are, making jabs at me for being at home."Lia retorted perfectly."I'm preparing for my exams so I'm allowed to be here. But you don't go work somewhere and you are sitting jobless."That was not really true."I'm taking a break, you know."He made a face at her. They were getting worked up and they finally resorted to a guessing game before they stopped."I'm thinking about a player who is not your favorite.""That's the total player community," Jake was angry."Yeah, that's why I chose him."Lia was victorious because of this. Her brother only concentrated on Ron Lexor, an e-sports player. Others, he didn't care enough to know about them so he didn't know others.Lia always won by using this

15. Deals and Variables
Lia stood alone behind the pillar wishing to go back in time. It all started when Aster messaged her.Aster- Can you come to a party with me?Lia- Why?Aster- It's actually a wealthy people kind of party and you need to be with me as I'm married.Lia- FineLia dressed in a gorgeous way and that's why she was well, targeted.Aster was taken away by the elders for a small talk. It was just a matter of minutes.And the wealthy ladies sent veiled insults towards her. She was angry but she didn't change her expression."She should be from some middle-class family. How dare she come here?""That miss couldn't marry into the Brooks family and she was the most popular candidate.""Yeah, do you know she was sent abroad by her family?""That's a pity."Lia listened to this conversation with bated breath and understood many things. The lady they were talking about should be the one who found fault with her at the last party.They all stopped when Aster came back.He bent and whispered in her ear

16. Bulletproof and not punchproof
"Hey, Claudia is so miserable." Lia sat with Aster in his study. They were there to discuss plans. "Why?" "She is being treated like this by her aunt." Aster was amused. "You know she is okay. I think her father is the culprit here." Lia was shocked. She looked at him with wide eyes. "He didn't know. How could he be responsible?" Aster leaned back against the chair and spoke in a low voice. "If he cared enough, he would have found the clues. He was running away from her. Maybe someday he doesn't want to face her. His mentality like this caused her harm." "But why?" "Lia, human emotion is very complex. It's like when there is zero exiting, a person can comprehend it in infinite ways. And emotions are inherently complex so you get more than infinite possibilities. How a person could feel or react, you cannot fathom. But you can try to predict. It may or may not be right. Just don't keep hoping about someone. It's best to be confident yourself." She nodded. She didn't understa

17. Leisure life and Matches
"What's your idea?" Lia and Aster were going through a new software and they were brainstorming. "I want the query here to reload the second page." Lia coded according to his instructions. It was a simple website. Because they loved Boybands, they created a website where the timelines of all albums and shows could be tracked and watched for free. Only albums and fan signs could be bought with money. This was something like a huge project but they didn't think that way. Both were awesome programmers and what they didn't do had many teams to help. Lia just made a model and the remaining would be given to the teams. Aster had helped her determine the look and finalized the colors and imaging. The design and animation effects were also being made. She watched the preliminary look of the website and felt immensely happy. "We have to check this after the second round of changes are made." Aster nodded. He was also pretty much interested in how this would all pan out later. "By t

18. Magical Savior
Somedays are just different. Because you never know what you would face. It could be life-changing or emotionally changing. They can be good or bad. It just depends on the long run, isn't it? Lia was not a big fan of this. She was reading a blog and she felt your life was yours to change however you want to. You just had to have that confidence and brace yourself to face the struggles. She never thought about the mystery of fate and destiny. Come to think of it, she felt both were the same. Just one was meant to be and one wasn't. And it looked like fate and destiny had a group chat and made this happen to her. Lia woke up exceptionally happy that day. She was looking forward to working and chilling. But she was sent to do a grocery spree by her mother. And she was happy toll that very moment. She loved searching the aisles for her favorite food and putting that in her cart. She checked out and she carried the heavy bags herself. She felt it was equal to exercise. If she ha

19. Familiar Strangers
"And how was Asher kid kidnapped? This place seems pretty safe?" Aster had to think of a way to respond to this. Asher himself went out in search of kidnappers. "He wanted to help me so he went to find them." Lia was flabbergasted. That was something she would never imagine even in her dreams. It was kind of explosive. Like the headlines in the news. "Why would he think that?" Aster shrugged. He didn't know how kids' brains worked. But yeah, he did help him. "You should stop him, this is dangerous." Aster nodded. He knew but he was helpless. Asher had a set of rules that he followed. "You want to meet him again. You are well acquainted by now, I guess." Lia knew that was the truth. But she was still apprehensive. Knowing and happening is like a channel between ocean and land. You cannot realize just by seeing. She just sat there and Aster went to get Asher. "Hi!" She greeted the kid. The kid looked no different from the first time she saw him. But she knew be was hurt by t

20. Race to the heart
"The first activity today is Eat the Biscuit. Each kid will jump and eat the biscuit that is hung. Fastest of all wins." Lia watched as all the kids lined up and started jumping. She never would have thought she would be here for a parent's visit in the kindergarten. Asher was also participating. Aster had asked her and for some reason, she had agreed. She wore her lavish dress and clean makeup with bangs. She never thought she would see the kids jumping like this. Mostly Asher was also trying but he was no match for the kid in the corner. He was fast like a cheetah that hunted biscuits. "Wow, Asher, good." Aster spent his time cheering for Asher. The kid wore blue shorts and a white shirt and he had his hair messed up. But he was happy. She had seen him calculating and sad but never happy. Maybe if her brother came here, be could also participate with Asher in the doubles team. That would certainly put a smile on Asher's face. "How about my brother helping him for a game? They
