Chapter 21

Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I placed the books on the librarian's desk and asked her, "Do you know who kept these books in the literature section?" "Why? What's wrong?""These books were supposed to be in the philosophy section but I found it in the literature while I was arranging the new books.""Then rearrange it.""I didn't get the answer why these books were in the wrong section yet." "Maybe Laura misplaced it. She's new and learning so let it go. And, help her with the nonfiction section too, she was struggling when i saw her. Before that, Get these books to the philosophy section.""Where's this Laura you're talking about? Why couldn't I see her around?""She works on alternate days unlike you. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." I nodded and took the books from the librarian table and walked out of her cabin to arrange the books in the philosophy section where it was supposed to be in the first place. After I'm done with my work, I came to pick up the books from the table. I s

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up in Ace's room, it was only me who was laying on the bed, and the room was empty too. I tied up my hair high and stepped out of the room to encounter Mateo who was talking with some Bodyguards. Seeing me walking out of Ace's room, he said, "Ace asked you to take off from college and stay at the house for a while.""Why?" I asked while walking to my room.He said while following after me, "To your safety, ofcourse."I looked around the house and asked, "Then where is he?""He went to deal with some business."I stopped from walking further and told him, "The only person who needs safety is him. Not me. I'm not someone who's the next in line leader." And headed to my room to get ready for college. When I came out of the house, Mateo stopped the car in front of me and said, "Get in. I'll drop you at college."I got in and remained silent. While he was driving me to the college, I got a call from Bernie. I answered, "Hello?""Louisa, where are you?""I'm o

Chapter 23

Louisa's p.o.v;I came to the room, slammed the door behind and sat on the bed thinking, 'What am I going to do now? The man I was looking for is dead now. Who has the red stone now? Who should I ask for it? Whom should I go after to get it?' Number of questions raised inside my head gave me a little headache.I heard knocks on the door. Ignored and thought about the red stone's whereabouts.The door was opened and Ace walked in while asking, "What did you do behind me? How did you know that guy? And, what were you blabbering about the red stone?"I let out a sigh and asked, "Do you know why Paulo, the Pandora gang leader, kidnapped me?"He shook his head and said, "I thought he was using you to get to me. But he wasn't when I got a call from Edgar instead of Paulo." "The night when you took Bernie and me as a hostage, I saw the guy's face who stole the bag from the hostess to whom Bernie gave the stone that night. Paulo knows, that's why he kidnapped me to get him through me. I lied

Chapter 24

Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I waved at Diego who just finished the race against his club members, came as a third in position.He waved back and walked to me and asked, "I thought you would forget and ditch me, Lou.""To be honest, I almost did." And I smiled at him and continued, "Bernie made me remember the promise I made to you."He patted my head and said, "And, I wouldn't have spoken with you till the end of the year. You should thank Bernardo for this.""Ehhhh… so demanding. By the way, you said that you invited your boyfriend, Where's he? Let me have a proper look at him this time. I didn't look at him properly since I was in a hurry last time."He remained silent."What is it? Didn't he come see you. Poor guy." I held his hand and said, "Your friend is here though. Cheer up!" "He came.""Then why the long face? Shouldn't you be happy right now? Where's he?" I nudged him while taking a look around the stadium. "He came with his girlfriend." He said while pointing at a couple

Chapter 25

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up from my sleep, I realised that I was in my apartment. How did I get here? My clothes were changed. Wasn't I in a car with Ace? Did he change my clothes? I got up from the bed and saw Ace walking into my room. "What are you doing?" I inquired.He placed the vessel he was holding on the nearby table and said, "I got hot water for you.""Hot water? I meant, what are you doing here? At my place?""I thought I'll drop you at your place and head to mine but you were asleep and didn't wake up. So when I tried to lift you up, you were burning… the point is you have a fever." He placed some tablets on the table saying, "I bought medicines nearby for your fever. And for the hot water…"Before he finished, I asked, "Didn't Bernie ask you anything?""He wasn't here when we came here.""How did you open the door?" "I found the key in your coat." "Since I'm awake now, leave my apartment." "I'll leave after giving you a sponge bath. You're still burning.""What!? W

Chapter 26

Louisa's p.o.v;Ace took me to my apartment in his car. When I was about to get out of the car, I said, "Thanks." Ace, "I'm leaving for a business trip tomorrow. I'll be back next week.""Why are you telling me this?" He continued ignoring me, "Until then I'll leave valentine to take care of you. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask him.""I don't need anyone to look after. I'm a grown up. I can take care of myself. Thanks for the ride."I got out of the car and headed to my apartment.Back in the library, I ignored both of their questions and walked out of the library at that time but I don't think I can do that every time. I thought he was going to ask me about Lucas when he started talking to me while I was getting out of the car. But he didn't. Normal people do ask, right? Usually when Lucas approaches me, I throw a fit at him but today it was different. I couldn't get mad at him, is it because of Ace? Having Ace beside me, I was more cautious to not to be in trouble sinc

Chapter 27

Louisa's p.o.v;Bernie asked me while I was preparing to eat dinner, "Where did you go?" "I went to return the books back to the library."He nodded and started eating his food. He's been silent since I came back from the library. Weird."How was the movie?" I asked."Yeah, good."I nodded and continued eating. Definitely, something's wrong. After we finished eating, we went to our rooms quitely which is new. He always talks a lot about his day and about his girlfriend but it didn't happen today. I came to my room and dropped on the bed. Is something wrong between them? But they didn't look like they had a dispute with each other. Or did Bernie find out about Ace? Whatever, Let's wait till he speaks so I'll ask him tomorrow if this continues. Suddenly, Bernardo knocked on my door like hell. What is wrong with him? I opened the door and asked, "What is it?" "I'm moving out." He said while ignoring my eyes.That was a different answer which I didn't expect from him. "Why?" "No o

Chapter 28

Louisa's p.o.v;Lucas dragged me to the cafeteria and made me sit across from him. He ordered food for both of us and stared at me like boring a hole inside my head. When I tried to ask him, the food came and interrupted me. He said, "Let's eat first.""I'm not hungry."He pushed the tray towards me saying, "You will eat." And smiled at me mischievously. He placed his phone on the table and asked me to look into it. When I took his phone, there was a picture of Ace and me standing close to each other under the rain. Who took this picture? How did he get it? Was he there while I was with Ace that day? "What do you want with me?" I asked. "Let's get back together." "No.""Aren't you afraid that everyone will come to know that you have an affair with the mafia? Do you want the college committee to know that? Do you want your parents to know that?"Like I care about the people he mentioned. I don't know how much he knows about Ace but I can't give in. If i give in, he'll treat me li

Chapter 29

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, I saw Ace sleeping beside me. I smiled without my knowledge after seeing him sleeping peacefully. I remembered the kiss last night. It was really a good one. While I was grinning while remembering it, I remembered another thing. He didn't sleepwalk last night. "When do you wake up?" He asked, patting my head.I asked, "Did I wake you up?" He shaked his head and looked at me. "What is it?" He moved closer to me and pulled me into a quick kiss and said, "I thought it was a dream, But it's real. I couldn't believe it's you who initiated the kiss." And he smiled at me. "Stop teasing me. Hey, about your sleepwalking, does this occur every night or randomly?""Every Night. Why do you ask?""Because you didn't sleepwalk last night." "What?" "Yeah, it came as a surprise to me as well.""Is it because of the kiss?""What?""This could be a way. I think you have to kiss me every night to stop me from sleepwalking.""Huh?"While I was staring at him being c

Chapter 30

Louisa's p.o.v;At college, Ryder, "What do you want to talk to me about?" "Did you beat Lucas?" "Yeah." I thought he would refuse but he agreed. "Why did you beat him?""I'm a bully. I beat a lot of boys. I don't need a reason to beat anyone. Is that why you called me? Then, I'm leaving.""Did you hear us in the cafeteria?" "I have to go somewhere." I held his hand and said, "Thank you." He removed my hand and asked while smiling, "Where did you learn to thank people? Is this really the Louisa I know?" "I'm leaving.""Hold on. Where are you leaving already? I have a question to ask you. Who's the other guy in the picture?""I'm afraid I can't answer that." "Why? Is he your boyfriend?" While I was figuring out what to answer, I got a call. I asked for an excuse and walked away from him. Who called me now? When I looked at the display, I saw my mother's name on the display. I ended the call and said to Ryder, "I have to hurry up." "Thank you again." And walked away from him.
