"Ella, are you sure you can go back to school?" Lucas worriedly asked her. He placed the back of his hand over Ella's forehead to check her temperature. "Your temperature seems to be normal." Lucas releases a sigh of relief. Ella only smiled at him while continuing to pack her bag for the university. She is also getting ready for her part-time work by getting a change of clothes "I'm good. I've had enough time to rest. I get tired staying home, "She replied in jest. Lucas is aware that there is no stopping her younger sister once she makes up her mind to do something. He chose not to argue with her and instead watched her as she packed her things. Ella was about to leave the house when he remembered something. "Wait up, Ella," Lucas said as he handed her a piece of paper. "I forgot to give you this." When Ella realized what it was, her eyes widened and her heartbeat accelerated.

Days have passed, and Ella has been struggling to concentrate or make simple decisions. She was easily distracted and anxious. She hasn't slept in days because she couldn't stop thinking about how she could make enough money to repay the loan shark and get the necklace back. Her eyelids hung down, and she had dark bags beneath her eyes as well as redder, swollen eyes. Her skin becomes pale, and her hair is messier than before because she doesn't have time to straighten herself. The library is Ella's sanctuary. She came there to find peace of mind and solemnity. Despite the fact that the university library has the best facilities and access to all sources of information, students find it boring and do not spend much time there. There aren't many students seen, just nerds. Is there anyone seated here? Ella kept reading the newspaper without saying anything. She didn't even bother to turn around to look at the person posing

Three years ago... The San Lorenzo Hospital was very busy that afternoon. You can hear the doors continuously sliding open and shut every time a patient comes in and out. The sound of the furnace, the air exchanger, and the keyboard clacking can all be heard coming from the reception area. Along with the low-pitched conversations in the waiting area, you can also hear the screams, cries, groans, gasps, grunts, and hisses of anguish coming from the patients in the emergency room. The intercom calls out codes and directions, and the squeaky wheelchairs pass by the corridors. "Help. Please, we need help!" Ella, the young girl, begs as she carries her father over her shoulder. While their mother, Lucita, was standing just behind them sobbing aloud, Ella's older brother, Lucas, was carrying their father on the opposite side. They went straight to the reception area to get some assistance. When the nu

Every year, there is a foundation day where students may have fun with various activities, carnival rides, delectable cuisine, and adorable gift stores after a grueling week of examinations and a week of semester break. It's the university's way of allowing students to relax and unwind after a long week of classes and demanding campus life. Families and close friends are welcome to attend with the students and teachers. An amusement park that is open to the entire province of San Lorenzo will be built on the entire campus. Everyone is invited to attend and take part in the festivities. Foundation Day was a competition for the upcoming generation of business moguls and entrepreneurs as well as a day of fun and entertainment. On foundation day, students from families with a long history of business success came together to compete for the honor of having the most successful booth. There are different categories in which students can participat

The last day of the competition has come. The one who will be announced in the number one spot will be declared the winner of the competition. Everyone in the lower tiers has to step up and improve their strategy so that they will not be booted from the game's top ten list. Not only are they squabbling over the prize money, but also their family name. It will be extremely embarrassing for them and will negatively affect their future business careers if it shows in the school record that they did not excel in their extracurricular activities. Ella called Joaquin and requested his assistance. She may not want to ask Joaquin for help, but she is desperate and determined to win the competition, no matter what it takes. Joaquin welcomed Ella happily, "My lovely little bundle of joy, I feared you'd forgotten about me." "Did I miss you?" he asked her inquisitively. "Is that the reason you called me?" He attempted to give h
