He faked a smile and was about to walk past them when two ladies blocked his path.The cheers and applause ceased.He tried to speak but no words were coming out of his open mouth. The students were murmuring, talking about one topic. 'Ken's victory in the fight.'"Not only are you sound, but you are also skilled too."

Immediately Ken walked into the room, she dropped the phone beside her and broke out laughing.Ken joined her on the bed in laughter. She was the only one in the room."The guys?" he demanded, shifting his gaze from one corner of the room to the other."Uhm, they just got out," she replied.Ken sighed and placed his notebook on the table.

"I know Ken but trust me, a lot of freshers out there will walk on coals to get the attention you are getting right now even if it's just for a day."Ken palmed his forehead with both hands. "Do you know

Their flight was scheduled for 3 pm that evening.Jane stepped out of the vehicle clinging to a brown leather handbag. It was a large bag that contained some spare clothes and other items. Since Cassie's reception was scheduled for 6 pm that evening, it was evident that they were going to spend the night in a hotel so Jane came with luggage.Ken walked up to Jane and took the bag away from her. "I thought you wouldn't show up."She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "Oh come on Ken, you know I wouldn't do such a thing."He smiled and led her into the house.

He couldn't imagine sitting opposite Mr. Carter without her.Jane turned to the tensed Ken with a warm smile and the look that says 'Relax!'"I'll be right back." She said and began walking away from the dining.Ken collapsed on the chair and couldn't take his eyes off Jane's departing figure. Mr. Carter called his attention by clearing his throat loudly.

Ken sighed and strode to his Lamborghini. He stepped into the car and zoomed off.While driving home, Cassie kept calling but Ken couldn't pick up her calls.

"You are glowing tonight and I must say that you've been glowing a lot lately." Mr. Carter remarked. He was seated in the living room downstairs and was going through his phone when Jane stepped out of her room.She waved her hand down. "Oh come on dad. What are you saying?" She stared at her shoes and flipped her hair, wondering whether she had invested so much in her look that night.Her father cleared his throat loudly and blinked at her. "I must say that love is a beautiful thing. I'm glad it's making you glow and step up with your appearance." He said and broke into a laugh.Jane shook her head and aimed for the exit. "You are so funny, dad. I always dress to kill. Meanwhile, have fun till I return.""Have fun Jane and stay safe!"Jane traced her way to the water fountain where her chauffeur was waiting for her with the Range Rover.

Big announcement
Ken kept shifting his gaze from the door to the files littered on his table. It was Monday morning and he was already seated in his office. This week, he'll be only handling administrative tasks.After Ray pulled the car to a halt in the parking lot earlier, Ken kept searching for one of the vehicles that usually drop Jane at the hospital but none was in sight. It was evident that she was yet to arrive at the office.He stared at his wristwatch. Should he give her a call? He sighed and darted his gaze from the door back to his table. He had just spent about twenty minutes in the office so Jane might be on her way.Ken shook his head and continued going through the papers before him. He wondered why he was feeling like a teenager in love even after being with Jane for three years. He had spoken to her on the phone about a hundred times during the weekend and still didn't get enough. He was hopelessly in love.A few minutes later, the door to Ken's office was pushed open. He let the pen

Jane stared at the phone screen and shifted her gaze to Ken. "It's my father calling. I think I need to go." She said and flew to the bedroom.Ken hurried after her. He wanted to pull her back, tell her to stop, and spend more time with him but he knew it was impossible to do that. Her father must have noticed her absence and was probably worried.When Ken got to the bedroom, he met Jane hurriedly slipping into her clothes. He grabbed her bag and went for her shoes under the bed.He helped her wear her jacket and ensured her buttons were in the right holes. "I'll get the car key." He said and left before she could speak.Jane sighed and shook her head. Ken seemed excited and she knew he was going to be sad when she turns down his offer to drive her home.He returned to the bedroom waving his car key. "I'll just grab my shirt," Ken said and moved to the closet."I just called my driver!" Jane spat.When Ken turned around, he caught her waving her phone.He arched a brow. "I thought I w

Save your family!
"This whole revelation is driving me insane!" Cassie remarked after taking her head into her hands.Master Yohi sighed and reached for her hand. "You must stay strong Cassie. I understand how hard it is for you."She turned to him with a fierce look. "How do you expect me to stay strong or act calm? I can't believe I've been living with a liar all my life. After I confronted him, he told me that he knew Ken's parents from a distance and since Ken had no guardian, he was entrusted the right to the boy's property till he was of age.""Your father lied to you. His younger brother Trent, handed the papers to the company to him the week he died. I think his brother knew that there were a couple of bad men on his tail and no one knows why. He planned to come home from Brooklyn the following week and introduced Ken and his mom to you guys." The master explained.Cassie began to nod repeatedly. "Now I'm beginning to get the hang of this story. Ken's father set up the company in Boston while h

Ken rose to his feet and pointed a cheerful finger at Jane. "Before you tell me about the men in your life, I'll go grab us some snacks.""Okay!"He placed a kiss on her left cheek and before heading into the kitchen, he mumbled. "I'll be right back!"Jane fell back on the couch with a warm smile. After speaking to Ken about her past, she felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off her chest. She hugged herself and breathed the fresh air that she was ready to take in. If she had known that speaking about the whole thing was going to be easy and uplifting, she would have done it a long time ago.A few minutes later, Ken returned to the living room with a plate of cookies. She quickly sat up and went for a piece the moment the plate landed on the stool."You made this?" She asked after taking a bite.Ken smiled and took a piece. "Well, miss Jane there are a lot of things you must learn about me and yes, I baked those yesterday and kept them in a jar."Jane hummed and took another happy

Cassie clenched her jaw with her arms still folded across her chest. "Give me one reason why I should listen to you Master Yohi?"He sighed and held up her malicious stare. "You are angry my child and despite your anger, you decided to show up here."She turned away and he continued speaking."Even after hearing my conversation with father last night, you took the risk and showed up here. This can only prove the point that you have doubts about my involvement in the situation and I implore that you give me the chance to speak.She turned to him with trembling lips. She pulled the stool and sat. Master Yohi was right. After eavesdropping on them last night and after pondering the issue several times, she still had doubts about the Master's loyalty and decided to confront him."Stay calm. Get rid of all your rage because I need you to listen to everything I'm going to say to you, Cassie."She nodded and shut her eyes."Take deep breaths and clear your mind." The master advised.She inha
