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 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 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 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

NEXT MORNING, THE MCDONALD’S MANSION** Judy woke up to the smell of icing sugar mixed with yeast, she sniffed the air and opened her eyes. She touched her bedside but Davis isn’t there. “Baby where are you?” She mumbled sleepily. “Tada!” Davis said from the other side and she sat up quickly. He’s standing beside the bed with a big cake on his hands. HAPPY NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY was written on it. “Baby!” She gasped, standing up quickly. “Goodmorning sweetheart” Davis sat in front of her, giving her a peck. “Aww!, My favorite cake!” Judy gushed happily. “Happy nineteenth anniversary to us sweetheart” he said. “Same here baby, I love you so much” she replied, hugging him.

They jointly cut the cake and hugged each other afterwards. “Happy nineteenth anniversary mum and dad” Starr said, hugging
