“My lady” Ethan called, handing over a file to Violet. “There is something definitely fishy about him. From what I found, he was a member of the Langland but his name was removed from the family’s register a year ago due to some reason which I couldn’t find. So right now, he is back just as a student with no family.”Violet looked at the file, her frown deepening. Being a treasure to the Mars family, Violet is more than just a member, and as such, she struggles to put her trust in other people. Given that a large number of her family members desired her death, she had to exercise extreme caution and awareness of her surroundings. “So she is Freddie’s brother but no longer Freddie’s brother? Do you think we should investigate him further?” Violet asked, dropping the file on the desk. She crossed her arm, leaning further on the sofa. “He is a little bit interesting though.”“My lady! You are praising him for being fascinating, but we are unsure if your life is in jeopardy at this poi
At the end of class, Violet still couldn’t get to talk to Ivan because he keeps treating her indifferently. The boy was more hard headed than she thought.When the lunch was almost over, Violet went to stand at the Teacher’s stand, her eyes roaming the quiet class. It was always like that in Classroom A. Since they are considered the most perfect class in the whole school, they are entitled to keep their image. Other people were whispering to one another, while some were reading and people like Daphne West were talking about makeup and trying on different makeup products. However, only one person was different. He sat on his chair, leaning heavily on it with his eyes closed. For a moment, Violet couldn’t take her eyes off him. Why was she so drawn to this boy whom she isn't so sure of?“Everyone, please listen” Violet broke the atmosphere of the class with her sharp definite voice after she regained her composure. “Can you please step out of the class for a second. I have to talk t
After school, Violet didn’t tell Ethan before she left school because the latter wouldn’t even allow it. Since they had known each other since they were young children, they were familiar with each other's tastes and backstories. Because of his father's previous employment with the Mars Family, Ethan got to know Violet, underwent training with Mars Security Organization, and eventually earned his certification as a bodyguard in order to protect her. “Did you tell Ethan before you leave?” Ivan asked as he and Violet walked side by side through the street. “He is kinda obsessed with you. “He could kill himself before you return home if he knows you are with me.” “You don’t have to worry about him,” Violet replied. “I already told him not to wait for me. And Ethan is not obsessed with me, he is just being protective of me.”"Yeah, whatever," Ivan replied in an indifferent tone. “Are you sure you want to go and see her? Her street is not for a rich princess like you.” Violet frowned h
With sharp gasps for air, Ivan dashed into Langland Mansion. Tears threatened to spill out of his eyes as he struggled to open the gate.“Open the f*cking door, right now! Father!" Ivan screamed, shivering all over.While attempting to open the door, a throng of reporters surrounded him, attacking the young man with their camera flashes.“Ivan Langland, is it true that you've been involved in stealing since you were five? Is it true that you almost killed your brother just at the age of ten?”Ivan shrunk back, trying to get out of their midst. As he pounded on the gate louder, trying to gain entry, his blood boiled with fear and rage. “Open the door for me! It was a trap! I have nothing to do with it!" However, his voice couldn't be heard due to the reporters.“You've been engaged to Dahlia since you two were young, what made you do such horrible things to her?”"Now that you have brought shame upon the entire Langland family, what do you think they will do?""How do you feel being t
Ivan didn't know how much he slept but when he woke up, the day was bright. He stood up from the bed, rubbing his eyes groggily. It was very late when he returned to his father's house last night. He took off his drenched clothes and went to bed immediately. Making way to the living room, memories from earlier flooded his brain like a match connecting fire to fire. He took out his phone right away, and to his amazement, the money was still there. Ivan reviewed the messages one more time to make sure he had not missed anything. Interestingly enough, the message included his name, so it can not have been an error. It was getting close to dawn. He went downstairs to see if there was anything to eat because he had not eaten since yesterday. Descending the stairs, he stopped in his tracks when he heard his Father and stepmother's voice. He was the topic of their conversation. "Honey, you do not have to act strange toward him. He is still a teenager and doesn't know what he has don
*A Year later* Every student in the hallway was engaged in conversation with one another. It was the beginning of another week. Renowned as the best high school in the city, Rao City High School was attended by the social elite. Some, however, believed it to be an unfair school where wealthy people enjoyed greater privileges than those from lower-class backgrounds. “The school flower just arrived! Clear the way everyone!” Hearing the voice of the popular follower of the school flower, the people in the hall moved to a side, excitement on their faces. Seeing the beauty was what they always pray for. The school flower was not only beautiful, but she was also very nice and made no distinction between the rich and the poor. She cares about everyone. “School Beauty, take the flowers. It represents your beauty.” A girl, around eighteen years old, stepped into the hallway with two girls behind her. She embodied the true meaning of beauty. Her rosy lips, her wavy hair, he
With both hands in his pockets, Ivan entered the classroom accompanied by his homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher continued to gaze at him, her lips pressed into an awkward smile.The woman was wondering why it took Ivan so late to return to school. She was a little worried that the boy might not be able to keep up with the rest of the class, even though the senior certificate exam was still several months away.And besides, it is unlikely for a great school like Rao High School to admit a final year student. Not especially into Classroom A! This new student background must be a little more powerful.“Ivan, right? Do not hesitate to ask me anything if you have any difficulty” Miss Clara, the teacher, voiced out as she reached the front of Classroom A. Ivan nodded, a tight smile on his lips. It was obvious to him already that the woman was staring at him more intently than normal.“I will introduce you to your classmates now. They are all nice people, be nice to them, okay?”Ivan g
With shock and sadness written all over her face, Sofia ran to Ivan as soon as he returned to the classroom after finishing the test. The guy ignored her warning not to tamper with Daphne West, despite her warnings.Sofia was sorry for him, believing that he would have to experience what she had.“What are you going to do now, Ivan? Run as fast as you can or leave Classroom A! This class is really not what you think it is” She spoke fast, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness. “Don’t worry about me, Sofia” Ivan waved her words off with his hand. “Just sit and watch perfectly.”Sofia grew increasingly concerned, believing that Ivan was making a concerted effort to keep his cool. She became really restless but could only stop talking when she started receiving weird stares from her classmates. With a smile on his lips, Freddie approached Ivan after Sofia had returned to her seat. He sat on the empty seat that was opposite Ivan.“Just go back to where you’ve been hiding all these ye
