CHAPTER 21 – TOO NAÏVE TO BE IN HEREIf jealousy smells like perfume right now, the whole balcony will be filled with fragrance. "I came here because I got the hunch, dad has the invitation but he wasn't chanced to come, I had to steal his card and come here only to find out and he's staring at you, it's so annoying and he proceeded to give you card...how ridiculous, he's not even that handsome and he's... Lotus stepped closer and hugged him tightly, cutting him off. "It's good to see you acting jealous, soul mate," she said. "I missed you. We haven't seen each other throughout today, remember?" She said and he smiled before hugging her back and rubbing her hair. "I missed you too," he said. "I love your outfit," she said. "I love you more, you look more stunning," he replied, breaking the hug to look at her very well. "Right, Anita did my makeup," she said. "Anita?" "My ghost sister" she replied and he gasped. "Are you a ghost too?" "No" "Then tell me what you are exactl
CHAPTER 22 – TIME MAY END BUT FRIENDSHIP…~LUTHER'S MANSION***~ Martin met his mum sleeping on the couch when he got home, her bruises aren't that much and that's because his dad has not come home since last night. He bent beside her and touched her hair, smiling lightly. "I'll pay you back for everything you're enduring cos of me, I love you so much mum," he said and kissed her forehead. He went in after that and took off his clothes. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself. His wounds healed again and it's getting suspicious. Since Lotus arrived, if he goes to school with wounds, he comes back healed. And he has to admit that he finds her weird too in some ways. He remembered how she was smiling while watching the fireworks earlier and was unaware of when a large smile crept to his face. "So cute," he muttered. He looked at his body in the mirror again His wounds might have healed but the scars and bruises are still there, making his body unattractive. He le
CHAPTER 23 - KIDNAPPEDShe was about to kiss his lips when Martin appeared. "Guys!" He called out and she let him go. "Martin" Lotus smiled, facing him. Martin tried to hug her but she stopped him. Starr kept looking on sheepishly, thinking about what almost happened. He smiled and bit his lip slightly. Martin looked at Lotus questioningly, wondering why she stopped him from hugging her. "Let's ride the mini cars," Starr suggested. "Mini cars?" Lotus said and Starr nodded. She held Starr with her right hand and Martin with her left hand, taking them into the closed park. They got their cars and started racing but Lotus kept leading. She knows nothing about driving but she's just doing it as her head says and it kept working till the end. They rode the slides and played video games till 9. Lotus couldn't forget Anita throughout, her face kept appearing everywhere and she had to employ a lot of control that's why she didn't cry. They left the park at past 9 and went to the
CHAPTER 24 – AFTER EVERYTHING…AN HIDEOUT*** Starr opened his eyes but he could see nothing. He needs glasses to see in dim light at night but his glasses fell during the kidnap so he's helpless now. He's sitting on something which he's sure is a chair judging by its structure. His hands weren't tied but he can't see anything anyways so it was useless to move. "Where am I? Who took me here!" He demanded loudly. "Where am I?" He shouted again, breathing loudly. A hand suddenly held his shoulder and he cringed. "Calm down, boy. You're safe" a deep man's voice said. The voice sounds familiar immediately. "Who the hell are you? Why did you take me here? Let me go!" Starr shouted again and his shoulder was pressed hard. "Ahh!" He yelped. "Shouting at me will only make your death faster, you're dying anyways," the voice said. "What do you think you're doing? I did nothing wrong!" He shouted. "Of course, but being the only heir of DJS is your sin," the voice replied. "How is b
*****CHAPTER 25 – MATED…He remembered how she called him soul mate at the party earlier and as the water from the melting ice touched her, she transformed in front of him and surprisingly, he wasn't scared or shocked. "This is the real me" she said, her golden tail shinning. "Are you.... the girl in my dreams?" "Yes" she replied. "You play the violin?" "Yes" she replied again "Lotus" he muttered, looking into her beautiful eyes. Lotus held his face again and before he could wink, they're already on a bed in her mansion. She transformed back to a human. Starr suddenly pulled down her dress from her shoulder, revealing the feather tattoo. "I'm yours Starr" Lotus whispered and he slowly brought his face closer to her naked shoulder. He kissed the tattoo and she closed her eyes as he let his lips stay on it for long. Their bodies got aroused and heat pulsated. The sparks came in folds this time as he removed his lips from there. Lotus opened her eyes and immediately their e
CHAPTER 26 – REALIZING THE LOVE OF FATHER"Hey" he said and she looked up, he immediately pushed her into the pool and she transformed. "Yah!" She shouted and he laughed but she used magnetic force to pull him into the pool. He fell heavily inside it and she laughed. "How the hell did you do that mermaid?" He asked. "I only realized my father gave me a gift when I left the river, maybe he doesn't really hate me" she smiled. "What are you talking about?" "I was implicated, my senior sis Cleo planted father's amulet in my room and immediately it was found, I was banished" she explained. "Why? No investigation?" "I guess that's how it was destined to be, and this magnetic force power used to belong to only my royal father but I found out I have it not long ago, he bestowed it on me, banishing was part of my destiny, see? I met you" she smiled. "So...you can't go back to the river?" He asked. "Once banished, you're no longer a member of Quenshi, so I'm staying here forever" she
CHAPTER 27 – PROBLEM STEPPING INNEXT MORNING, THE MCDONALD'S MANSION** "There's still no positive news" Davis said dropping his phone. Judy got more worried. The suspects were all arrested but when there's no evidence pointing at them, they were released immediately. "Baby I'm scared, what if they did something bad to our son, what if... just...what if..." Judy started crying and Davis held her. "Calm down" he said and a guard rushed in. "Young master is back!" He announced happily. "Huh!" Judy said and Starr came in immediately. "Honey! Honey!!!" Judy rushed to give her a tight hug. "Where have you been!!!" She cried happily. "I was kidnapped by some group of guys but I escaped somehow" he replied. "Do you recognize them?" Davis asked. "I couldn't see them last night because of my eyes problem, I escaped at midnight" he replied and Davis hugged him too "They're enemies of DJS, they threatened to take your wealth and take mum too" he said and Davis broke the hug. "My we
CHAPTER 28 – THE INSIDE GAME PLAY?"Can we hang out tonight? Please" Alec said and Yolanda felt all her wishes coming true that instant. Alec just asked her to hang out! "Like...a date?" She asked shyly. "Of course, so... "Yes" she interrupted and he smiled. "Let me have your number then, I'll call you" he gave her his phone and she typed her number. "See ya!" He winked and left. Yolanda smiled to herself before leaving the class too as she joined the girls at the cafeteria. "What took you so long? Don't tell me you opened a lace tying shop in the class" Rhythm said suspiciously. "Fresh news" she smiled. "What's it" Lotus and Constance asked at the same time. "Alec asked me out on a date" Yolanda replied. "OMG my chest!" Constance shouted shockingly. "Is this a joke?" Rhythm said. "Joke? No babe I'm dead serious, that's why I came late" "The cellist guy? You didn't tell me you like him" Lotus said. "It's kinda obvious" Yolanda smiled, grabbing a cup of iced Americano f
