XLIII: Mr. President, Were You Not Sincere?!
The smile on Vincent's lips is as sweet as the morning dew and as bright as the ray of sunshine coming from the fine weather above.
For the past four years, this is probably his happiest day. Today, he officially finished his college degree. After such a long time, he can finally leave his cage. The graduation ceremony took almost half of the day but it didn't make Vincent feel exhausted even a bit.
With a bouquet of fresh and fragrant flowers in his hand, he heads back to the House of Cruz. He's quite excited to see his sister after all those long years, and congratulate her for her upcoming wedding. She'll probably be very busy by now just like what she said in the letter, and there's a possibility that she can't spare a long time for him. Even so, he still wants to extend his word of best wishes in person.
"Welcome home, Master Vincent." The guards respectfully greet him by the gate. This time, he didn't need to show his pendant to them which saves him tim

As much as the sky is clear, the clouds in Vincent's heart get heavy. The whiter the tuxedo he's wearing, the darker his expression gets. He hates himself. This is an auspicious day yet he can't maintain a happy face. The day has come, and nothing can stop this wedding from happening. Not even him, a mere member of the House of Cruz who got no legacy from his late father. Not even him, a mere substitute, and was never loved.The massive bell of the church suddenly rings, calling the attention of the people in a distance. Notifying everyone that the wedding ceremony is about to start. Signifying the beginning of the union of two of the four most influential families in town.And not only that. The first ring of that massive bell made little Alphonse jolt out of surprise. But the cutest thing has yet to happen. He acted like he was not startled by it at all. Little did he know, Vincent saw him which made the elder silently puff a laugh.This made Vincent's inner state s

"You kicked your blanket again!" Alphonse frowns the moment he saw Vincent is not covering himself with the thick blanket for the nth time. But this frown on his face doesn't look scary at all. He looks adorable instead. "You need to keep covered, big brother, or else you're going to feel worse."The little man puts the tray he's holding on the nearby nightstand and helps Vincent rise into a sitting position so that the elder can drink the juice he personally prepared. Moments ago, he went out of Vincent's room to get a glass of citrus juice for his "sick" brother. He even made sure that Vincent is comfortably lying on his bed but when he got back his brother already kicked the blanket."Right, right. I'm sorry." Vincent pulls the blanket and puts it around him again. "It's because it's too hot." He then fakes a smile at Alphonse. The truth is Alphonse really believed that his big brother is sick, and Vincent feels guilty for lying to the little one.This lie al

The ground is rough and got some sharp-edged stones and pebbles. Vincent's feet hurt but it doesn't matter to him. What he's feeling inside is more painful than him running barefoot on rocky ground. "Vincent, wait!" William's cold look on his face got tainted with a hint of worry. He thought, how could Vincent run away like that if he has a fever and his head hurt? With his hand extending towards the other, William slowly closing the gap in between them. Not long after chasing him, William finally took grasp on Vincent's wrist, pulling him into a stop. "Vincent, what do you think you're doing? You should go back to your room and rest." Now that they got close enough, William can't help but compare this man before him with the Vincent he lives with four years ago. He didn't change much. He's about the same height. His physical appearance is more or less the same too. It's like William just took a large leap through time and traveled back to the past. "

"I am so disappointed in you. I am ashamed to be your father. You bring shame in our family!" Mr. Lopez's words are like knives thrusting through William's chest. Actually, William kind of expected to hear this from his father but still, the first time is always the deepest.After all the other not-so-nice words that his father said and addressed to him, William didn't dare to defend himself nor utter a single word. Maybe it's because he doesn't know what to say, or maybe because he accepts those painful words. He accepts every single word that his father said which made him think it's true so there's no need to think hard and explain himself. He's a big disappointment, a black sheep of the family that brings shame to the House of Lopez.Since he's young, William had always received praises from his father for his achievements no matter how big or small it is. And whenever he's in a downfall, he gets words of comfort and encouragement instead. He never really got an in

A knock on the door breaks the silence in William's room. It's been three days since the last time he saw Vincent. Ever since then, William isolated himself in his bedroom, rarely making a presence. He occasionally skips his meal too. For the past three days, he only eats once or twice a day. He simply just doesn't have the appetite. For the past three days, he avoided Elena too. He doesn't have an idea if she's still mad about what she saw or if it somehow subsides. He doesn't know if his parents are still angry at him but he's sure that he's still gravely disappointed with him. But what concerns him the most is Vincent. He wonders if he's finally feeling better even just for a bit. Seeing him would only make Vincent upset so he didn't dare to come to his place to check on him. William got distracted from his thoughts when a series of knocks sounded again. Then he heard a little voice behind his closed door. "Big brother William? This is me, Alphonse

"Ulysses? Is Dylan still asleep?" Denise opens the door of Dylan and Ulysses' room. "What would you like to eat for din---" She stops and immediately covered her mouth with her hand when she saw the two sleeping soundly. One lying on the bed, and one sitting on the floor with his back leaning on the mattress. Since they look like they're not waking up any time soon, Denise decided to quickly go out and closes the door again. About a couple of hours ago, Dylan fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. To her surprise, Ulysses gently carried him in his arms and brought him to their bedroom. Denise has always thought that Ulysses treats her brother coldly with indifference. Who would have thought that the seemingly unconcerned Student Council President actually cares for this annoying Campus Heartthrob? And one more thing... Ulysses can actually lift Vincent despite having a slender body?! That's something Denise isn't expecting. The truth is, even Ulysses is
