Rissa's pov
I kept staring as the car doors opened and some men stepped out. God! They're so huge. How's one of them under eighteen???
I was yet to conclude when someone else came out of the car and he seemed to be the last.
I was amazed by his black curly hair. It was really shiny like he shampooed it two four seven!
I folded my arms. So, which of them is the prisoner or should I say, ex convict??
I returned back to the chair when they started proceeding towards the house. I hurried up with the meal and the maid cleared the table.
"Where's my dad?" I asked her after she was done.
"He left for Massachusetts immediately he arrived this morning" She replied putting the plates on an empty stroller.
My lips curved into a frown as she walked away. Dad traveled again and I didn't even get to spend time with him like I wanted.
When will he ever be there for me, huh?!
That seems so impossible. I'm sure I've lost him to politics.
I heard the front door dangling.
They're here!
I got up and ran towards the stairs. I hid behind the walls and watched as two of the of the men moved into the house.
It's the korean guy and another man in a blue suit. One of the maids showed up and took the luggage he was holding.
"Don't get into trouble, Mykel. Remember that you're still under probation and one little mistake - you'll be thrown in jail again so behave yourself" The man in suit whispered before leaving the house.
He glanced around the house and dropped his eyeballs on pineapple who was lying on the floor.
Silly dog! Why didn't she follow me?
Okay, so the criminal is also good looking. From his hair to his eyes and the lips. Argh! Could he really be from prison??...
He inserted his hands Into his pockets and started coming up the stairs.
I retreated and ran towards another corner hoping he wouldn't see me.
The maid was waiting for him by his door and when he arrived, they got in together.
I stepped out from my hiding place and gazed at the door.
The man in suit said that he would be taken to jail again if he messes up.
A smirk came upon my face. I've known his first weakness ~ jail. He wouldn't want to go back to that place. Nobody in his right mind would but I won't think twice about sending him there if he doesn't comply to my rules.
The fact that he's a criminal disgusts me and I'm sure there's a bad boy behind his innocent and calming face.
I tip toed to my bedroom to write somethings down in my diary concerning him. If I'm going to drive him out of this mansion, I need a chronicle where I'd note down my plans and how they went.
Mykel's pov:
I saw her staring. She hid by the wall gazing at me. Her hair are alot brownish than they were in our childhood pictures.
I didn't get to see her full body but I'm sure she's grown a lot. Changed so much from how cheerful she looked in her baby photos.
I wonder what she thinks of me now.
Rich kids always feels like they're better than anyone else.
Like, poor people were a mistake and shouldn't ever mingle with them. I'm sure I was once like that. Wealthy and arrogant.
I got to the room and the first thing I did after the maid left was taking a shower. I pulled off my clothes and tied a white towel around my lower waist.
I proceeded into the bathroom and
shut the door.
Rissa's pov:
"Alright pineapple, you know the plan...immediately you see the korean guy, you attack! Bite him with all your strength. Scratch his face if you have to, okay?" I asked my dog as he waggled his tail.
He's not human and I'm not sure he understands what I'm saying but I'm sure he gets the fact that the guy that arrived earlier is our enemy and we'll have to get rid of him at all cost.
I felt someone coming from the stairs and I took a quick glance to see it was him.
He had taken a bath and his hair was f***king wet making I shimmer the more.
"Here's your chance Pineapple. It's time to destroy the enemy" I whispered and made her face the jerk.
She barked and ran with great force towards him and a huge grin appeared on my face.
She actually understood what I told her.
I was about to imagine me doing a victory dance when pineapple jumped on him and they both crashed to the floor.
She started licking him and he struggled with him.
Darn it! What's wrong with pineapple? Why can't he obey simple instructions??
Sometimes, I wish I had a cat instead.
Rissa's pov:I folded my hands and stared as he carried pineapple in his hands. I just couldn't hide the feeling that I was greatly disappointed.I think getting rid of this guy would be a tough mission.He began walking towards me and I noticed his steps was like that of some rich dude. It vaguely reminded me of Lucas, the president's son."I think this is yours" He said calmly and I scoffed. This outrageous!I looked away and luckily, my personal maid was passing by carrying a basket."Vivian!" I yelled irascibly and she raced to us."Yes dear" She replied cheerful as always."Take pineapple and give her a thorough bath. I want her scrubbed and washed with the best soap you can find! Then, dry her up immediately and give her a second bath! Do you understand?!" I rasped irritated.Her face dropped.I'm sure she knows I'm angry and def
Rissa's pov:The photo was just enough to leave a grimace on my face. How long has mom been keeping disgusting photos of Mykel and I hugging??"Isn't it cute?" She asked grinning from ear to ear."I think we should burn it" I chimed and mom shot me a scalding look."I've been keeping these photos for more than 13 years now, not even you - Rissa will destroy them. Now sit down" She ordered and I slumped on the seat.Mykel had no choice but to sit beside me since there was just three seats at the table strictly for mom, dad and I.Our dinner was served and just as I was about to dig in, mom's voice emerged."So, like I said earlier, you both will be introducing yourselves properly. And I would gladly watch you two do it. We'll start from you, Rissa. Tell us your hobbies and favorite things so Mykel would get to know. And it'll be helpful for me too because I don't know those things".
Rissa's pov:The school was heavily guarded with top security officers and marshalls. This was because the only kids that attended the school belonged to a wealthy and influential families.The principal wouldn't want to risk a student being kidnapped or attacked under her watch. Before a car drives into the school, it must be searched thoroughly and every individual would be scanned of weapons of any kind.My car arrived at the school gate before Mykel's. I refused to ride to school with him so mom had another car prepared for him.I'm trying so hard to accept the fact that he would be staying with us for months despite the fact that he is from jail.It's not a good thing, it never is.Probably, He's pretending to be quiet and self reserved but inside, He's a fire breeding dragon... Mykel's pov:We finally passed through the check point and
Rissa's pov:Mykel looked shy and nervous. The entire students around fixed their eyes on him like he was some alien or something.Alex and Zoe weren't an exception.Jesus Christ!! This is getting too much.If only they knew he has been in a juvenile detention center for years. They wouldn't even let him get into this school. Mykel's pov:I summoned courage and turned away from the multiple eyes that had me roped.I needed to keep me moving. Otherwise, I'd go crazy.I bumped into a boy on my way in who had glasses on. He's hair was curly and thick and you'd almost think he's an Indian.My eyes dropped to his books that has crashed on the floor. We both stooped to pick it up at the same time.At least he's not staring at me like I had two heads."Sorry, I wasn't looking" He said, his hands shaking
Mykel's pov:I was so glad that I wasn't classmates with Rissa. My classroom was right next to hers just like our bedrooms.My new classroom is quiet and we barely up to ten. Just the way I wanted it.I took a seat at the back row before setting out the contents in my schoolbag.Rissa's mom also mentioned getting a new cellphone just for me. As much as I would like being under her care, I would also want to return back to Korea.I can't stay here forever neither do I need to adjust to this life.Its not going to end and from the way I see it, Rissa's going to get me into trouble with her awkward hatred for me.I felt a tap on the shoulder and I looked to see who it was. Oh! Austin.What's he doing here??"Seems like we are both in makeup class" He chimed into my thoughts."Makeup class??" I asked curiously."Yeah...this class is made es
Mykel's pov:"I'm serious, let's go" Austin groused persistently.The boys had already noticed my presence and they quickly stopped torturing the girl.She gathered her wears and ran off with tears allover her face. I sighed and took my coat from Austin.The boys started leaving and were practically hiding their faces.That's not usual. I was expecting them to pick a fight. Its been a while since I exercised my knuckles.We hurried up and left the place after using the restroom. Lunch time must be over by now."Do you wanna know why they left you?" Austin asked sauntering behind me."They thought I must be the son of someone important so before they attack, they'd find out my background to avoid their father to loose their jobs" I replied and his jaw dropped."You're so smart, bro! That's totally the reason. This school is full of weirdos. Poor girl. Imagine what would

Rissa's pov:"Don't be silly, Rissa. Its not nice to lie against someone" Mom replied giving me a scalding stare.Mykel obviously felt embarrassed and he inserted his hands in his pockets."I wasn't staring ma'am" He muttered under his breath and mom sighed."I know dear, Rissa's just making things up. Let's go now" She said and started leaving for the door."You're crazy, do you know that?" Mykel whispered glaring at me.I rolled my eyes as we left the house together. (An hour later)The mall wasn't so rowdy but there were a lot of people around. We each pushed our shopping cart together and picked what we wanted.Mom kept taking yoghurts and ice creams while Mykel picked up some things that he'd be needing for school.I don't even care what he takes!We were almost done when mom decided we
