2025-04-15 05:18:47Nelson looked at his father. What is he talking about now? His older brother will be going to Viants High with him? How can something like this even happen? Viants high is his safe place. It's the one place where he can be what he wants without being afraid. . . and now they are going to have Lander invade his space. . . why won't these people just leave him alone? Why do they have to keep doing something like this to him? "Dad. . . . Lander is going to Viants High? Why will you want him to go there?" Nelson asked. He wanted to ask him not to send Lander but right now that question was the only thing that he could say.
"What do you mean? My son can go to that school if he wants! Why don't you want him to go? Who do you think that you are to try to stop Lander from going to Viants High?" Vivian asked Nelson. She was really happy that her husband has decided to send Lander to Viants High. It is the most prestigious school in the entire country. Mk group owns that school. . if Lander can become close with the chairman's son. . . that will be just great!
"Dad. . . . I want to go that school! I really want to go to that school dad. Please let me go to Viants High!" Lander said. Viants High. . . . he had heard a lot about it. And besides it was a boarding school. . . . a mixed boarding school. . . that means that he can do whatever he wants. How great will that be?
Nelson sighed. There was nothing that he could say in a situation like this. There was not one single person who is on his side in this place. He felt like he was all alone. What could he do in a situation like this? Nothing at all. . . . .
Nelson stood in front of the restaurant. There was no way that he will ever forget this place. The dinner that he had that day with Vanessa. . . the hurtful words that she said to him. . . he just couldn't bring himself to forget them. . . . why does he keep remembering those things? She already moved on a long time ago. . . she doesn't even care anymore. . . . so why is it that he is the only who still can't bring himself to move on from Vanessa? What kind of pull does she have on him? Immediately he landed in the country the first thing that he wanted to do was see this restaurant because it was a reminder of Vanessa.
Nelson sighed. He had come here today with an extra meaning. When he left two years he told himself that he will be able to forget everything but he wasn't able to. He still remembered how much he suffered. He still remembered what happened with him, . Vanessa, Mike and even Rachel. So he came here to finally give up everything. From this onward. . . Nelson told himself he is going to move on the way that everyone has moved on . Vanessa won't even care anyway so what is the use?
Nelson turned to walk away from the restaurant when someone who was just walking in bumped into him. They both fell to the ground. Nelson was pissed. He was in a bad enough mood already so who is this person walking into him? He looked up and saw a girl. He pushed her off him and stood up immediately. "what is wrong with you? Do you have eyes on top your head? Why did you just walk into him?" Nelson asked her.
Hathi was going to get something for her mother from a restaurant when she bumped into a person. The person pushed her off and stood up. Hathi raised her eyes and saw a guy. For a second, she was awestruck. Who is this person? How can someone be so good looking? He had thick brown hair and sea blue eyes. . . . just who is he? Hathi was lost looking at this person. She didn't think that she had met anyone this good looking before.
Nelson looked at the girl that had walked into him. It seemed like she wasn't even listening to him. . . instead she was looking at his face! What is this? "Are you even listening? If you bumped into someone you should apologise but what are you doing right now?" Nel asked her.
Hathi shook her head forcing herself to the present. He was yelling at her but she didn't even get that part. She was still lost looking at him. . . . " I'm really sorry. . . I'm sorry. . . for walking into you. . . " She couldn't even construct a single sentence properly.
"You are sorry? I think that next time you should try looking at where you are going! Do you have eyes on top your head?!" Nelson yelled at her again. Then he added. "And please stop looking at me. It's really creepy. Stop it right now"
Hathi didn't care about the first part. . . but she was embarrassed when he said that she was looking at him. . . he noticed that? "I. . . I wasn't looking at you! Why will I do that?" Hathi lied. She was looking but. . . how can he say it like that? She also had her pride! This is so embarrassing!
"Oh you weren't looking? Seriously? I know how good looking I am. . . but can you please not make a fool of yourself like this? Do you go around looking at every good looking that you see like this? I felt like you were going to bore a hole in my face with your gaze!" Nelson said.
Hathi's embarrassment increased. Her face was all red. "I said that I wasn't looking at you! Are you trying to harass me tight now?" Hathi said. It's always safer to play the victim in times like this
"Harrasment? You do realize that you were the one harassing me right now right? What do you think that you are doing right now?" Nelson asked. He was going to add something but his phone rang. It was his father. Nelson sighed. He couldn't continue to stay out like this. He had to go home now. "Hey. . . don't go around looking at people's faces like that. It's really creepy" Nelson said and walked away from her.
Hathi stared after him. What was that? Who is that person? He just has a handsome face. . . he is a complete jerk! How can he make a fool out of her like this! "Having a handsome face isn't everything!" She yelled after him.
He turned and winked at her. Hathi turned immediately. What was that? It was as if he was teasing her on purpose! How can she possibly make a fool of herself like this in front of a stranger?
When Nelson got home, he met his mother in the living room. He ran to hug her immediately. She was the only person that he missed in this entire place. Even though she was not his birth mother, she treated him better than his birth mother ever did. "Mom. . . I missed you so much! You got even prettier. . . . how can you look so pretty? You can pass off as my older sister" Nelson said and he and Rita laughed.
"You are still so good at flattering me Nelson. When are you going to stop being this way?" Rita asked him. Ever since she met Nelson for the first time when he was four, she felt like she had gotten everything that she ever wanted. He was a blessing to her.
"Mom you know that I only use this tone with you right?" Nelson asked his mother. He was right. . . he only acted this way towards his mother.
"Cut that out. . . . where were you? The bodyguards your dad sent to pick you up said that you got away. . . what happened? Why did you run away?" Rita asked. Nelson.
"What do you mean by I ran away? I didn't run away. . . I just had somewhere else that I had to be first. And why will he even send bodyguards to pick me up? Does he think that I am still a kid?" Nelson asked.
"You are still a kid to me! You are only eighteen years old. You are still my little kid. Anyway your dad is really mad!" Rita said. She was afraid that Nelson and his father were going to get into an argument as soon as he gets back.
"Where is he? Is he in?" Nelson asked Rita. He knew that his father won't let him off easy. He did run away from the guards after all.
"I am in! So what if I am in! Where were you? I sent people to pick you up and you ran away?!" Ryan, Nelson's father asked.
"Dad. . . you haven't seen your son in two years! You are yelling at me immediately you see me?" Nelson asked his father.
"You haven't seen your mother and I in two years! You came back after two years and the best thing that you can do is to run off to God knows where? Do you even care about us? Where the hell did you go?" Ryan asked Nelson. He was really angry. What is really wrong with Sk? He thought that after spending two years abroad he would have matured by now. . . but he is still the same! Playing such stupid tricks!
Nelson knew that he couldn't tell his father where he went too. If he told him that he went to the restaurant that he and Vanessa had their last meal. . . it is only going to make his father really angry. It wasn't just about his father. . . if his mother knows about it. . . she would be really hurt. He just had to keep it to himself. "I had somewhere to be alright! And why will you even send guards to pick me up? Do you think that I am a kid?" Nelson asked his father.
"If you are no longer a kid and you think that you are an adult now you should act like one. . why do you keep doing things like this?" Ryan asked. When is this person going to grow up?
"The both of you please just stop it! You haven't seen each each other in two years and the first thing that you do is tell at each other and argue? Seriously. . . do the both of you have to be this way to each other every time?" Rita asked. She really didn't like to see the both of them arguing like this
Ryan struggled to control his temper. Rita is right. They can't start arguing the first time that they see each other in two years. And besides, he had something really important that he had to say to Nelson. "Fine. . . . I'm going to let this go just this one time. I have something to tell you. I asked you to come back for a reason. You are going to go back to Viants High when school reopens again" Ryan said.
Nelson had a hard time processing what he had just heard. Go back to Viants High? For what? Why does he need to go back to that school? He didn't want to do it. "Dad. . . what is this supposed to mean? Why do I have to go back to Viants High? Did you ask me to come back because of this? I'm not going to go! I'm not going to go to Viants High no matter what you say. . . so just give it up now!" Nelson said. What is the meaning of this? Why does he have to go back to that place?
"You really don't have a choice Nelson. I already made up my mind you are going to go to Viant High when school reopens again. And besides, our company owns that school! You are going to become the owner one day. What do you think people will say if you are back in the country and you won't go back to Viants High?" Ryan asked Nelson.
"If you are really worried about what other people will say about that. . I'm just going to go back! If I'm not here people won't worry about me going to some other school instead of Viants High right? I'm going to go to back. . . don't try to stop me!" Nel said.

Ryan looked at his son. He was not expecting something like this from him? He was going to go back? There was no way that he was going to let him go back. It would mean that all of the plans that he had were going to come crashing. He did not want that to happen. He had planned so much for this. After spending two years abroad Nelson was really starting to get impulsive after spending two years abroad. . He would never say this to him before. He knew that he too had to toughen up and give him a warning."You want to leave? All right. . . go I won't try to stop you. I won't try to stop you from leaving this place but know that immediately you step out of this house. . . you are no longer my son! You should no longer expect anything from me if you decide to leave this place" Ryan warned. Actually he was playing a gamble. What if he got even more impulsive and decided that he was going to leave? He threatened him with disowning but what if he really left? What will happen then? He did no

Nelson looked at his brother. He knew that he was not joking around. He really could make his life hell. their parents. . no. . . their father and his mother. . . the both of them doted on him. He could do anything and get away with it. And his parents tended to believe him whatever he said. He could do nothing against him. Maybe it was because Lander was the legitimate son and he was the illegitimate child? He remembered what Lander had said to him one day. The only way that an illegitimate child could survive in a family like this was by not knowing anything. He should not do anything. . . he should not know anything. . . that was the only way that he was going to survive.Sometimes Nelson really wanted to hate his mother for abandoning him in this family.

You have to hurry. We can't hold her up here for long" The person said.Mike immediately understood. That was enough for him. They did not have to try and hold her back for long. He would be there soon. He picked up a coat and opened his room door to go out. Standing outside, was his step mother Vanessa.Mike rolled his eyes. Why won't this woman just stop bothering him?

Bella could only whatch him as he walked away. He said that they won't be meeting each other again. He is just a stranger that she just met, so why did those words hurt her?Just like that, time passed by quickly and the school year reopened. Bella and Margaret were standing in front of the school right now. Bella looked at the school. It really was big. Her mother already completed the admission process online and there was no need for her to be here. But maybe because she was missing her daughter for some reason, she came all the way here and was standing with her.

Nelson was standing in the hallway surrounded by most of the students in the school. This is what he wanted. A grand entry. Since he came here against his will, he should at least make the most of it by causing trouble for everyone right? Since they won't let go of him they were all just going to have to deal with the pain together. For some reason, Nelson found himself searching for Mike in the crowd. Was it nostalgia for their lost friendship? He did not know.However, instead of Mike, a person that he never wanted to see again showed up in front of him. Rachel!She pushed through the crowd and stood in front of him. "Nelson! I'm so happy that you are back!" Rachel said. Her tone sounded so friendly, the students could guess for themselves what their relationship is.Nelson looked at her with an indifferent gaze. In front of everyone he asked. "Do I know you?"The entire school gasped in shock. Nelson just said that he does not know Rachel? It was obvious that he was doing it to hum

Lily and Cynthia looked at each other before they decided. Even if they did not help her she would still find it on her own. Then, won't their relationship with her be awkward?

Infact I think that we are going to be roommates from now on. It's nice to meet you. I'm Lily Blair. And she's Cynthia Thompson. What about you?" Lily did the introductions.Bella sighed in relief. At least one good thing has happened to her since she stepped her foot into this school! She actually met her roommates and from the looks of it the both of them were nice enough.

Cynthia, Lily and Bella were getting ready to go to class. Bella looked at the uniform. She only needed to take one look to see that it must be really expensive. How can someone use something like this for uniform? She was really starting to wonder why her mother sent her to this school. What does she really want her to do in a place like this?"Bella, what are you thinking about? Let's get going" Lily said.Bella turned to look at her. She had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask her. Like what was her relationship with that Nelson. But when she tried to bring it up yesterday, she could see that Lily did not want to tell her about it. She said there was nothing but Bella knew that there was something going on.Bella just decided to let it rest. After all, there are some things that people want to keep to their self. She would not try to intrude on other people's privacy."Alright. Let's get going then" Bella. She really wanted to see what Viants High classes were like. A school

"It's because I wanted to eat with you" he said.Lily blinked her eyes. What is he talking about? She is talking about what he did to Bella and he is trying to change the topic? "What nonsense are you talking about? You. . . you should not have done that to Bella! What if she gets in trouble because of you?!" Lily asked. She was trying hard to change the topic but Nelson was not buying it."I did it because I wanted to eat you. You won't even look at me. I felt like that the only way to get you at least look at me was to target her. See it worked! We had a meal together and you even held my hand!" Nelson said. You could tell that he was very happy.Lily felt like facepalming herself. How can he be so happy? His brother is here and he is already causing problems for him, isn't he worried at all? How can he make jokes right now?"How can you still be in the mood to joke around? Your brother is here, aren't you worried at all about what he is going to do to you?" Lily asked. She was so s

A student said, "Hey isn't that Lily? I heard that her father lost his company to his younger brother!"Another student chipped in, "A fallen princess and an illegitimate son, aren't they the perfect match?"Nelson turned to look at Lily. He knew that she was hurt by the words that those people said. No matter what, no one liked to have their private matters talked about in public like this like it was nothing. It really must be a lot for her. After all, not everyone is able to live without caring like him. But still, she did not let go of him. She was still holding on to his hand."Let's go I said" Lily said. She decided that she had had enough. She did not want to continue to listen to this.Cynthia got up and looked at Lily. Lily was her friend. She did not want her to get herself in trouble. Wasn't she the one telling Bella yesterday to just ignore everyone and not get in trouble yesterday? How is that she is doing the same thing for Nelson? Besides, didn't she already saw that it

Mike sighed. Since she already heard, he can't just brush her off right? "Well, what do you want to know? Rachel and I. . we. . " Mike was still talking when she cut him off."No, I don't want to hear it!" She said.Mike looked at her. He was trying to figure out what she was thinking but all that he could see was her innocent face smiling at him. What did shs mean? She just heard what Rachel said, is she saying that she is not curious at all? That she doesn't want to know at all?"What do you mean? Are you not curious?" Mike asked.Bella shook her head. It's not that she wasn't curious. She really wanted to know what the both of them were talking about. Does he really love her as he said? But just looking at him like this, she could already see that he was in a lot of pain. Because of her own selfishness, she did not want to make things hard for him."I really don't want to know. It has nothing to do with me anyway. It's your own personal business. Besides, I really don't like gettin

Rachel was on her way to the cafeteria when she saw someone walking towards her. She thought that Mike was going to stop or at least give her a side way glance, but he did not do that. He just kept walking on like he did not see her at all. There was no way that she could put up with this indifference. How can he treat her like this? How can he treat her like she doesn't exist at all? She really wanted to know the answers. Just where did it all go wrong? They used to be good friends, the three of them used to have a good relationship, but now Nelson really hates her and Mike won't even look at her face. Just what did she do wrong?.Perhaps Rachel already knew the answer but she did not want to accept it. She did not want to accept that she had done something wrong. She was under pressure too! There was nothing that she could do too! If the both of them were hurting, does it mean that she too wasn't hurting? Instead of being this way to her, why don't they consider the fact that she ha

Mike looked at him. "If you are that curious, you should go meet her. I'm sure she will be happy to see you" Mike said.The next day, during the lunch break, Nelson was on his way to the cafeteria when someone walked up to him and stood in front of him. Nelson was not surprised. He wasn't happy to see him but he wasn't supprised either. He came to Viants High in the end after all. There is no way that Lander will let him be. He and his mother, Nelson knew that the both of them were planning something seeing how happy they were for him to come here. But no matter what they wanted, Nelson did not want to be a part of it. He just wanted to be left alone.Unfortunately however, no matter how much he told them that he just wanted to be left alone, they did not seem to believe him at all. They all thought that he was lying and that he is actually trying to take the company away from them. Between these two paranoid people, Nelson barely had any space to breath. At least before, he could esc

Mike walked away from the room. He did not know where to go. He just knew that he wanted to be away from that Nelson. Why the hell did he have to come back to this place? Why the hell does he have to come back to this damn annoying place and annoy him? It's already been two years. He did not have to come back! He should have stayed abroad. If he had said that he is not going to come back, he should have done as he said and stayed abroad. Why did he have to come back. That woman, Vanessa, she probably knows that he is here.That is the reason why she had been trying extra hard to get close to him when he got back from school! What a joke! Does she really think that she is going to do anything for him concerning Nelson? What a joke! Everything was just so messed up! Nelson should not have come back, then everyone lives would have been easier. But deep down, Mike knew that there was nothing that Nelson could do about it. If his father says to come back, then he has to come back. He won't

Nelson looked at Nelson. He really did not understand this kid. Other people when looking at him might just see a clueless kid who only knows how to cause trouble but he could not help thinking that there is something about that smile. As someone living under pressure himself, he felt that there is more to this kid. But he did not care about it much. "I already thanked you. What else do you want? For me to pay you? I don't think that you are that poor" Nelson said.Nelson almost choked! What is Nelson thinking? Does he realize that he is talking to his helper right now? "Hey, do you know how much trouble i got into for helping you that day?" Nelson asked. He had still not forgotten what his brother and step mother did to him. Because he helped Nelson get away from those people that day, Lander is coming to this school. He knew that his step mother used that mistake to get her son to come to this school so that the both of them could whatch her. If this continued, Nelson was sure that

Cynthia suddenly had an idea. "Hey Bella. Why don't you take you on a tour of Viants High? This school is really big and it's quite easy to get lost and lose your way" Cynthia said. Maybe if they showed Bella around this school and told her how Viants High works, she would know what to say and how to act so that they won't be getting in trouble. For some reason, Cynthia seemed to really like this girl. She did not want her to get in trouble with Nelson or Bella.Bella looked at the both of them in gratitude. "really, you guys are going to do that for me?" Bella asked. She remembered how she went into that boy's room and she shuddered. She definitely did not want to experience something like that ever again. This school is really big and it's quite easy to get lost.Lily looked at Cynthia and she nodded her head. Lily was convinced. "Alright then. We'll take you on a tour of our school. Let's go" Lily said.The three girls left the room happily.Nelson entered the room that had been al
