Chapter Four
"Where are you coming from?". A gruff voice demanded from somewhere on the veranda as Joni tiptoed to the front door.
She jumped, startled by the voice that was very much her father's and turned to look at him. He was sitting on his rocking chair, swinging a long cane in his hand. He looked relaxed but she knew he was anything but.
"Um... I... Erm..." She stuttered.
"You have exactly three seconds to start talking before I descend on you." Joachim told her.
"I fainted at the market and... and somebody took me to the hospital." She blurted out.
"Fainted? Are you pregnant?". His expression was thunderous.

"Hey loser." Something hit the back of Joni's head causing her to cry out and turn to glare at the culprit."What is wrong with you?!". She yelled at Raymond."I have been calling you for ages.""A tap would have been nice." She retorted."Nah, that was more effective." He grinned wickedly.Joni rubbed the back of her head wincing as she felt it begin to throb. She glanced behind her and saw that he'd thrown a stone at her head and she was very tempted to retaliate but she held herself."You could've killed me." She spat."Do you expect me to apologize?". He arched a brow."If you don't have anything worthwhile to do, why don't you take a swim in the Thames river?". She sneered and continued with her math homework."I heard you're now buddies with the Crown Prince." Raymond began. "You

"You can do this." Joni muttered under her breath before she walked in through the doors into the school. She clutched her books to her chest and walked quickly to her locker with her head down and her hoodie covering her face.She'd opted to wear the sweatsuit since it was Wednesday and it did a better job of hiding her bruises than her uniform would have. She got to her locker without any problem and input her code opening her locker to drop her books.Her father had taken the King's words to heart - any sane man would if he wanted to live and he'd not touched her but he'd told her that she would not eat any food in his house for two weeks. Even after the time has passed, he'd decide whether to let her eat or not.Right now her stomach was crying out for help and food.

"Today feels wrong." Was Leon's only thought as he alighted from the car and closed the door.He'd woken up late, injured his foot on his way to the bathroom and he'd mistakenly poured his juice on his trousers during breakfast so he'd had no choice but to go back upstairs and change.On his way to school, there was the problem of a flat tire that the guard had to change and it kinda took a while and as if it was not enough, he had to sit in traffic for about thirty freaking minutes.He wished he'd stayed home instead but the thought of not seeing Joni even for one day made him anxious so here he was by ten fifteen am just walking into the school building. It wasn't as though anyone would punish him but still he didn't like how late he was to school.He took the stairs two at a time, turned the corner and hurried down to his class, slowed down outside the door and calmly stepped into the

Celestina let out a sigh of relief as she took out her purse to search for her keys to open the door. She was glad she'd successfully found a sales person to man her store for her so now she could stay at home if she wanted to and also drop by at the store anytime she wanted.She found the keys and inserted it into the lock and turned the key but she was surprised when the door opened immediately and her heart skipped a beat in her chest."We have been robbed." She gasped in horror. She pushed the door a little wider to peer inside the house and frowned when she saw that everything looked to be in order. The flat screen TV was still hanging on the wall and the home theater system was safe, the sitting room was as she left it so she walked into the house and closed the door.
