Ione Worth's POV (Three hours before the showdown between Claire and Adharia) W-WHAT'S going on? Where am I? Who are these people? Why is it so dark? Why am I tied up?  My mind went blank after seeing a familiar presence sitting in a lavish seat in front of me. It was dark and all I can see was a silhoutte, but that sihoutte gave me a familiar vibe on who the person was. And it became all clear to me when the person spoke.   "Ione Worth, how are you?" A cold voice spoke. "C-Claire.." I muttered in shock. It was Claire Rose Rohas, my classmate and the person I avoid the most. Why is she doing this to me? Did I do something wrong? How could she be so cruel! "That's right, Worth. I'm glad you recognize me, tee-hee," she giggled. She's a psycho.  "W-Why are you doing this to me? Let me go!" I persisted when she suddenly slapped my cheek

GUESS what? Ezra has visited. I guess this is the first time he ditched class to visit someone. "Hey Ezra, thanks for visiting me. I feel much better now that my friends are visiting me, haha!" I chuckled, resting on my hospital bed. Yep, I'm a great actress. "Of course, Adharia. Oh, I also brought you J.Co donuts." He said and handed me two boxes of my favorite donuts. Aww, he remembered! "Woah! Thanks, but isn't it too early for the shop to open? Where did you get it?" I asked suspiciously. Hm.. I hope there won't be any poison, right?  "Have you forgotten, I am Ezra Neil Velga. I can buy whatever I want. But honestly, I threatened the owner to give me 2 boxes, I told them it's for a very special person." He gave emphasize to the word special. I hope that I'm not special because I will be poisoned after I eat it. "Aww, you're seriously the best Ezra! I'm gonna eat it now, okay?" I s

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Jeju International Airport. Local time is 9 am in the morning. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight. If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you. On behalf of Valler International Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice stay!"  As you might've heard earlier, my brother owns Valler Interna

"WELCOME back, little sister. How was the trip?" My Brother asked without sparing a glance at me. So mean, hmph! Tsk. I just got a call from Haru earlier, things are not looking good. "So-so. Good but also bad, but I'm sure you already know all about it," I shrugged and rolled my eyes. "Indeed. Something outrageous has occurred which the aftermath is, I have twice more work. Happy?" He scoffed and dropped some files on his desk, "Sorry, at least we're one step closer to the truth, right? Do you have any more findings?" I asked him and he sighed. What? What's he sighing about? "Hm... Remember when Uncle Demetrius' trip to Hongkong was canceled last year?" He asked, "Yeah, why?" I shrugged and tapped my fingers on his desk and looked around. "Well, turns out it was Erza who intercepted the communication with the company. We lost about 25 million as collateral damage! If I hadn't managed to suppress the issue, th

I STOOD beside my brother with a captivating smile in front of the flashing cameras and vigilant reporters. This is a historic event, literally!"Esteemed guests! Revered and dear friends, welcome to Edge Tech's anniversary, in this momentous occasion..." Brother started his lo~ng speech while I stood there smiling like an idiot. Brother really loves his speeches where he thinks he's his own hero encouraging his fellow Avengers. Avengers, assemble! Anyway, I'm sure that everyone remembers their part. There are several risks we have to be careful of, this is a gamble on our part since if we don't de-activate all of them, then it'll go boom! Word will spread like wildfire, it'll be in tonight's news and the billboards. I can't let that happen."...and before I commence the beginning of this celebration, I have an announcement to make. Due to confidential matters, but most of all, because I wholeheartedly trust this person
