I roamed around the canteen and made sure that Saint was not there. He will be angry when he sees that my friend is with me. I really don't understand him. He is banning me, there are many people who know him.
I walked closer to Odette's table and sat next to her. They all smiled at me.
"Are you eating in the classroom?" Rence asked, I nodded. "Why?"
"Because...I'm avoiding my crush here." I lied. Psalm isn't here, he is eating in the classroom. I'm sure he's looking for me. But I want to be with them as much as Odette.
"Who do you have a crush on? Rozen? He doesn't have lunch here." I immediately frowned, isn't Saint having lunch here?
"Where?" A mischievous smile immediately appeared on Eren's lips. Huh? Why? What did I say?
"You, you have a crush on Rozen, right? You can follow him on the interface because you have a crush on him, right?" Eren teased. They all immediately looked at me.
"Rozen? Will I like it? That will never happen. I want something else!" I immediately said, why would I like Saint? That did nothing but mean to me and treat me like a child.
"What?" Cassidy asked with a smirk and she and Stan were still together. I did nothing but shake my head.
I looked at Pierce who was just quietly eating and staring into nothingness. Weird. They told me many more stories and that's when I found out that Psalm has been studying here since elementary school.
And he is a swimmer. He didn't tell me and it wasn't obvious either. That's why Psalm is a bit dark. They also said that Psalm is smart and popular in the Business Ad department.
"Where did you study then? Danica?" Odette asked me.
"Um, I was homeschooled," I said. He nodded and Rence's jaw suddenly dropped.
"So, your wealth? You've been homeschooled since kindergarten?!" He asked almost shouting, wait, what's so surprising about that?
I nodded. "Wow. You're so rich." Cassidy said.
What's rich about homeschooling? They are a mess. I just shook my head at her and continued eating. After lunch, I went to the girl's washroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror, I'm so pale. Sister Mary is really right, I should use some lip balm. And blush to color my face.
I was about to leave the washroom when three women suddenly entered. One of them is Allison. He was my seatmate who ordered me to unfollow Saint. He had two women with him.
"Oh my god, did I just smell something gross?" A woman said that the lipstick was thick on her face.
Allison looked at me and slapped my cheek without saying a word. I bit my lower lip. Grandpa Santino trained me in taekwondo, but he said I should never use it in public unless it's a life-and-death situation.
I clenched my fist and looked at her. "What's your problem?"
"Oh me? Nothing, I'm just bored and I really want to get rid of every trash in this school." He said with a smile, is she referring to me? I shot up an eyebrow and laughed.
"Then you should get rid of yourself," I said laughing. I saw him blink and couldn't believe what I said.
"Are you aware that I can expel you just because of what you said?!" She shouted. She raised her hand to slap me again but I immediately stopped it.
"Woah. Slapping is your habit? That's sad. Try, trying it to yourself so you can have a little fun." Her face is so mad. So he immediately snatched his hand from my grip.
I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair. But I was very surprised when she suddenly pulled my hair and threw me to her henchman.
"How dare you answer me? Well, you're not a beauty. Maybe they're right, Rozen is a good guy." He said laughing.
In an instant move, she slapped my right cheek. "Stay away from Rozen. He's mine." And slapped my left cheek again. "Besides, reduce your bravery, you don't know who you bump into."
She said and left the washroom together with her henchman. I felt so exhausted as if all my energy had been drained. I looked at myself in the mirror.
I looked like a mess. I immediately took out my cell phone and the one at the top of my contact list was blank.
"Help me...I want to go home."
I just woke up because of the cold I feel, I'm sure this isn't my room. My room is not this cold. I looked around. It's Saint's room. Why am I here?
Did I lose consciousness earlier? Allison did that bad? That's just a slap. I was about to get up when I felt pain in my shoulder. Right. Saint's grip.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to get up, I can't stay in Saint's room. I was about to get out of bed when suddenly Saint came in with a tray. He looked at me with his cold stare and sighed.
He placed the tray on the bedside and adjusted his eyepatch. He looked at me and sat on the end of the bed.
"What happened to you?" He asked. I bowed down. He's right. Humans are never good, they have done nothing but hurt others.
"W-no, I was hit by a ball..." I lied. He looked at me and stared at me for a minute.
"I hate liars, Clea and you know that." I gulped. This guy's instinct is too good. I almost forgot that this person is almost perfect, except for his attitude.
"Your cheeks and arms are swollen, that's not just a hit from the ball." He said calmly, this is the first time I have talked to Saint calmly and I feel no fear.
"Because Allison is my classmate. I didn't follow what she wanted me to do so she slapped me several times in the girl's washroom earlier..." I explained. He stood up and grabbed a chair and sat in front of me.
I was surprised by what he did because we were so close. I can almost hear him breathing. And I just realized that Saint is really handsome up close. Now I wonder why he is wearing an eyepatch.
"And your arm?" He asked. Shall I tell him? "Who the heck just did that to your arm, drop the name and I'll destroy his face."
I smiled a bit. "You have something to do." I laughed a little. "Can you destroy your own face?"
He was surprised by what I said. He sighed and took a cold compress from the tray he was carrying. He gave it to me.
"Just rest. Be absent tomorrow, your arm is so swollen Klea. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked as he helped me lie down on his bed.
He carefully applied the cold compress to both my cheeks. He took some ointment and put it on both my arms.
This is new. Saint was never like this to me, he was not caring. If something bad happens to me, they are the only ones who take care of me. Now, it's him. What's new?
I closed my eyes because I didn't want to see Saint's eyes staring at me. I pretended to be asleep, I thought he was going to leave but I didn't hear any noise.
And then he spoke. "Klea...I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to do it. I was just furious. I'm sorry for being overprotective to you, I know you can defend yourself. But..." he paused. I kept my eyes closed. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day you'll find someone else to protect you. I'm used to being the one you come home to when something happens to you."
"I can't accept the fact that your heart is slowly drifting away from me. I'm sorry. I know you won't hear this but, please...stay with me. You and Ate Mary are all I have left ."
In a blink of an eye, I found myself hugging Saint. He was surprised by what I did and I was even more surprised by what I did. I snuggled myself into his chest.
And whispered "I won't leave you, Saint. Trust me. Even the world will tell me, even if everyone will hate me. I will never leave your side."
And later on, I felt his arms snake into my waist and hug me back. We stayed like that until our limbs felt numb.
I heard a series of knocks from outside my room so I immediately adjusted my uniform and looked in the mirror before opening it.And I suspected correctly, it's Saint. I looked at him with bored eyes."Listen Klea, you won't use your name the whole school year if you still want to be alive. Don't call me Saint, Angelous, or even my surname in public. Do you understand?" He said with authority. I am really afraid of him. Even when we were young, he was never nice to me.I know I'm just an obstacle in his life but he can't do anything because his Daddy bought me from him."This will be your new name. New identity to be exact." He said again and gave me an ID. I accepted that.Danica Sy? That's a nice name. "Don't you ever talk to anyone about our relationship, just say we are childhood friends? Got that?"I nodded. "Don't make friends. Tell me who is introducing you. I am not being hilarious to you or what I am just protecting you got that?"I couldn't say anything to him so I just nodd
I woke up still in Saint's room. I saw him at the end of his bed facing his laptop and I knew he was serious about what he was doing.I carefully moved my body, and I flinched. It still hurts. He looked at me with his usual stare. He's still wearing his eyepatch, seriously? What's with his eyepatch? Is he hiding something in his left eye?"Just rest Klea, your cheeks are still swollen." I nodded to him and lay down again.Later on, I heard his phone ring. I looked at his back, and because of the silence, I could hear what he was talking about. Am I eavesdropping?"Hellion you need to report here in the underground, asap." It was the voice of the man who was Saint's assistant. Hellion? Who's Hellion? His codename?"Why? Why do you need me?" Saint asked in a cold tone."The mafia bosses are now livid, they know that the heiress is in your power." I felt Saint approaching me so I immediately closed my eyes."You don't scare me with that statement, Luther," Saint said with a very dark voi
It's midnight but I still can't sleep, I still can't get out of my mind what Saint said to Audrey earlier. I'm in my pajamas and I'm ready to sleep but I'm not really sleepy. So I went down to the kitchen to drink some milk, I thought Ate Mary was the one I could reach but I was very surprised to see the person I don't want to see now. St.I saw her look up at me and I immediately backed away. He can't go near me, I won't allow him to come near me. I'm not important to him, right? So maybe I can distance myself a little from him.I turned around and was about to take a step when I suddenly felt an arm wrap around me from behind me. Saint is hugging me from the back! And it's making my heart beat wild."Let me explain, I know you heard what I said earlier. I'm sorry, for hurting you again." My hair immediately stood up on my whole body when I heard Saint's calm voice.I didn't answer and tried to pull away from hugging me, but Saint was just too strong and he didn't even get out of his
It has been three days since that incident, and Pierce has not spoken a word. The fact that he concealed what happened makes me very grateful.Besides, for those three days I avoided Saint, I avoided any physical, emotional, or even spiritual contact with him. I want him to think carefully first if he really likes me, because I know he's just confused about his feelings for me."Hey, Danica. I heard you and Rozen are going out." Allison suddenly met me. I know he thinks I'm weak because he's been with me before. But now? Let's see how brave this witch is."I don't know if that will happen, I'm sure Rozen won't kill you. Because you're ugly!" Allison shouted shrill. I just hung in the air and continued walking.I know this very well because the moment I walk away from him I know he will pull my hair to stop me from walking. So when I felt his hand approaching me, I immediately stepped aside.I stepped to the side and I smiled when Allison fell and her First face. I heard the laughter o
"All I want you to do is tell the organization that you are not the killer but me. Can you do that?" Savienna asked me while looking straight into my eyes.Tell the organization that I didn't kill Dad. So does that mean I will be free? The mafia bosses won't bother me? Will I live a happy life just like Dad wanted?And if I agree to Savienna's wish, I can't be sure if she will use it for good or bad. What if she just wants power and wealth? Like anyone wants it? And what if Mommy just ordered him to do it?"It's up to you, Sabrina. Plus, don't you want a peaceful life? A life where no other mafia boss is chasing you? And, Psalm your guy can court you anytime." He said with a grin."And I have to tell something girl thing..." she said and motioned her palm beside her mouth as if she was going to whisper something to me."I really like Hellion, and if you agree to what I said he'll protect me too as he protects you." He said with a smile and returned his hand to before."It's a win-win
After lunch, I heard everyone's whispers before I left my classroom. Because of their whispers, I don't know whether I will be irritated or nervous.Oh my gosh. He's here, Rozen Alcantara."'What does he do in the Law Department?''Maybe to pick up Allison, she said they were on their way.'It wasn't until I looked outside that I realized Saint was waiting. Oh my god, maybe he wasn't serious about his text earlier? Saint wouldn't hurt Psalm, right?"Sabrina, I'll go now. Eat your lunch okay?" Psalm asked me with a smile, I smiled at him and nodded."You too, don't stay up too late." He just winked at me and smiled."Got that." He said and left the classroom, I saw how sharp Saint's gaze was on Psalm, but Psalm just smiled at him.I took a deep breath and left the classroom. I tried to ignore Saint but I felt him following me. So I walked even faster.But I was very surprised when Saint suddenly pulled me. I looked at his face and noticed he was frowning and I knew he was thinking a lo
All I can do is stare at Saint's beautiful face while he is keeping his eyes closed. He is kissing me and I don't know what to do, should I respond? But he might get a big idea of me, I don't want to let him down. Saint separated from me and pouted."Am I kissing a rock? Why don't you respond?" He asked me sadly, I couldn't answer him. What should I say? That I'm not comfortable with what he's doing? But hell! I know he knows I am enjoying this!"Saint...someone might see" Saint's mischievous smile came out just because of what I said. Saint just shrugged his shoulders and walked away from me."Why baby? If no one sees you will you kiss me back?" He asked with a smirk, I was immediately taken aback by what Saint said. Ugh! What did that guy eat?I rolled my eyes at him. "Whatever Saint, let's go home!" I said, I heard Saint's laugh so I was even more tormented. After what he did to Psalm? Will he just laugh?"I'm annoyed with you Santillana, fix it," I said firmly, Saint looked at m
Savienna woke me up exactly at 11 PM, she said that the base of the underground is still far away so we have to be early. We are now traveling by Pierce's car. Savienna is in the front seat while I'm in the backseat, I'm carrying some of my clothes because Savienna said that once I'm enrolled there, they'll give me a room to stay in.I didn't agree at first but I didn't do anything because if I didn't stay there they might suspect me. I was a little nervous because they might know that I am a Lacsamana.But Savienna assured me, that everything is going to be fine. That I have nothing to worry about."Sabrina, we're here." I was even more nervous because of what Savienna said. I nodded to him and got out of the car, Pierce helped me carry my things while Savienna fixed her hair."Hey, do I look like a psychopath now?" He suddenly asked and looked at us, his eyes... his looks were scary.I looked at Pierce and he just gave a thumbs up so I didn't do anything so I just nodded."Fix your
