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;Someone tapped on my shoulder, which made me woke up and i backed away as soon as to the touch."I really don't know where's the stone. Please, believe me."While i was blabbering, that person said, "Louisa, it's me."The voice. It sounds familiar. Who's this? I rubbed my eyes and looked at the person again while blinking my eyes to adjust to the light after being in a dark room for a while. "Who's it?""It's me, Edgar. Louisa, are you okay?" "Edgar?" "Yes, it's me, Edgar."After adjusting to the light, i saw Edgar face clearly. I moved closer to him and hugged him, "It is really you, Edgar."He patted on my back and caressed my hair like my grandpa which made me breakout and i cried in his embrace. He wiped my eyes and said, "Louisa, Why are you crying?""W-What are you doing here? What if someone sees you? They're Pandora gang. They'll take you down as soon as they spot you. Get out of here. Please, run from this place before someone sees you. Edgar, what are you
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;I woke up from my sleep because of the bright light from the outside through the window. When did I go to sleep last night? I got up from the bed and saw the two Bodyguards sleeping, one on the couch and the other on the floor. I took the blankets and covered them and walked out of the room. I walked to Ace's room to ask him about Antonio but he wasn't there in his room. "Are you looking for Ace?" When I turned, I saw Diego. I nodded at him.He said, "He's in the hospital.""How's Antonio?""He's okay. The doctors said that he didn't shoot his important organs so he's alright.""Didn't Ace come back from the hospital?""No, he didn't."I can't believe he stayed overnight for one of his bodyguards. I could understand why Edgar came forward and confessed to him. "I want to see Antonio. Take me to the hospital.""I can't.""Why?""Ace asked me to drop you at your college. Get ready, I'll wait for you at the entrance." And he walked away. I forgot that it's Monday toda
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
Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I placed the books on the librarian's desk and asked her, "Do you know who kept these books in the literature section?" "Why? What's wrong?""These books were supposed to be in the philosophy section but I found it in the literature while I was arranging the new books.""Then rearrange it.""I didn't get the answer why these books were in the wrong section yet." "Maybe Laura misplaced it. She's new and learning so let it go. And, help her with the nonfiction section too, she was struggling when i saw her. Before that, Get these books to the philosophy section.""Where's this Laura you're talking about? Why couldn't I see her around?""She works on alternate days unlike you. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." I nodded and took the books from the librarian table and walked out of her cabin to arrange the books in the philosophy section where it was supposed to be in the first place. After I'm done with my work, I came to pick up the books from the table. I s
