It was the second period and a teacher was supposed to be inside the classroom lecturing them but no there wasn't, that's because the whole lecturers were having meeting. The whole class were making noise, students throwing stuffs at each other, some chatting away and some took it as an opportunity to do their assignments. Fortune was in the classroom, seated on her seat scribbling something on a thick cover book. She wasn't really paying attention to the students or something like that, she was focused on sketching out designs, got herself too busy with that and hardly talk to anyone anymore or try to poke her nose in what doesn't concern her. She just wanted to mind her business and thank goodness the whole class respected her decision except for those three girls and their friend Ifeoma, they have become a thorn on her flesh, piercing her everywhere she goes.
Seizing every opportunity to hurt and humiliate her but she kept enduring everything. After getting suspended from school, she tries her possible best to stay away from them but they keep picking on her which something gets on her nerves. And another person who won't let her be was Vincent like he's literally everywhere she goes, follows her around like a leech and this started after that incident with him on his brother plane. She tried hard to avoid him because it will only remind her of that kiss so she tries her best to clear off his path and she was really sorry she pushed him that hard, didn't mean to do that but he pushed her to do it.
"Ummmm, Fortune?," Ada calls, getting up from her seat. "My brother and I will go grab something to eat, we are very hungry."
"Okay then," she never removed her gaze from she was designing.
"Won't you join us?," Asks Ekene, getting up from his seat as well.
"I don't know, I want to be through with these designs as soon as possible," she looks up and smiled. "But if I finish on time I will join you two."
"Alright then." They left, she continued with her business. All this while there were two pairs of eyes looking at her even though he didn't know what she was scribbling on her book. Vincent didn't know what to do to make her talk to him again, she has been ignoring him for days now and he didn't know why. He couldn't understand the force pulling him to her, like he literally wants her attention, wants her to look at him. He wanted her to be that way she was with him in the plane, he really enjoyed her company that day but these days she's giving him attitude and she no longer want to serve as his maid. That's was another reason to get her close to him but she's not budging in and she went as far as pushing him, does she hate him that much?
"Why don't you go and talk to her?," Jeremy suggests, motioning with his eyes. "She's all alone now and found out the reason she pushed you."
"What's the point when you know she won't speak to me," he declines. "She's been ignoring me for days now and I think she's mad at me."
"Of course any girl who has a personality like her will," Jeff imputes. "Go ask for her forgiveness for kissing her on the plane, I know she will forgive you but I still suggest you go apologize her."
"Forget it, she won't spare me any glance so it will mean a lot to me if you two stop talking about her. I don't care."
"And he's back to his old self," Jeremy mumbles, making sure he didn't hear him.
"What did you just say?," Vincent gave him a pointed glare.
"Nothing," Jeremy smiles awkwardly. "We won't force you if you don't want to do that."
"Good," he returned his attention to the phone in his hand.
Fortune kept sketching out clothes designs after the other, she totally forgot that she promised the twin she will join them later because she was so engrossed in what she was drawing. She made up her mind to finish another sketch before joining them, she was about drawing another design when her book was forcefully snatched away from her. She looked up and was met with the bitchy glares of those three notorious girls. Urghhh, she rolls her eyes inwardly. These girls again, why won't they let her be? They keep pissing her off these days and she always tried to avoid fighting with them
"What do you want?," She asks icily, trying to get her book from the Clara's grip but she moved it away from her reach.
"Nothing we just want to see what you're up to this time," Clara gives her one of her bitchy laugh, going through her book. "Impressive," she complimented, Fortune knew she didn't mean what she just said. "I must commend you on your skills."
"Yeah, she really isn't dumb as we thought," Amanda peeks on the designs she made including Cara. All this while Fortune was fuming in anger and tries everything in her power to calm her raging nerves. "Her designs are worth it, her designs are the type most fashion companies are looking for and I must say she's talented in drawing."
Fortune knew they are trying to make fun of her even though they complimented her works. "Give me back my book!," She demands, trying again to take her book from them.
"Come and get it if you can," Clara laughs and raised her book her up from her reach. "And you know what, I'm gonna steal these designs and make them mine." Those last statement really infuriated Fortune, why steal designs she thought so hard on how to create?
"You know, you can steal the designs on sheet of papers," she smirked evilly at them. "But you will never steal where it originated from, designs on sheet of papers are just samples."
Her words angered Clara. "Then get ready to get your works stolen by me," she asserted angrily. "And as a matter of fact, I'm taking these ones." She tries to tear out the designs but a hand held her.
Cara and Amanda frowned immediately that hand stopped her. Clara turned and saw Vincent holding her from tearing out the designs, Fortune noticed the bruise on his elbow but chose to care less. "You have the tendency of picking on other people, don't you?," He questioned rhetorically, taking the book from her and giving it back to Fortune. "I believe this is yours?"
Fortune snatched her book from his hand, the anger showing in her eyes. She quickly shoved her things in her backpack and wanted to leave but Vincent stopped him. "You can't just leave without saying a thank you."
"Thank you," She forced a smile on her face before walking out on them.
"I told you earlier I don't want anyone troubling her," He almost screams at them. "The next time I see you picking on her, you will regret the day you knew me?"
"You know we never liked her and anyone who is a friend of her is an enemy to us," Clara scoffs. "And don't try to threaten us, we already know what you are capable of. What will you do if not just to yell at us or give us some lecture on why we shouldn't touch her."
"And I'm still trying to figure out the puzzles of when you started caring for her," Cara chips in. "You were one of us, you always make fun of her but recently it's like we don't you anymore, you changed Vincent, you changed."
"People change darling, people change," he smirkes. "And the three of you have the tendency of talking a lot and challenging people alot but try picking on her again, you will then see what I will do." Those last lines, he came closer to them and whispered in a low husky voice with a stoic look on his face.
________________
Fortune made her way to the cafeteria to meet her friends, she made the mistake of staying behind to finish her artworks. What was she thinking? She should have known those three girls by now, they take the slightest opportunity to insult and humiliate her. With anger filled face, she searched with her eyes for her friends. They were seated in the middle table of the cafeteria, she walks straight to them, dumping her backpack with anger on the table. The twins were surprised at her attitude
"What happened, why is your face like that?," Ekene asks, taking a bite from his meat pie. "Did you fight with someone?"
"Hmphh, I wish," her face was red like boiling tomatoes and Ada saw her nostrils flare up more in anger. Who upset her, she wondered.
"Then tell us why you're upset?, You're making us anxious by keeping quiet. Tell us what's making you go mad like this?"
"Those stupid three girls," Fortune screams out. "They tried to pick on me after two minutes you two left."
"I don't get why they keep picking on helpless students," Ekene inserts, taking another bite from his meat pie.
"Hey, I'm not helpless okay?," She sounded more like she was scolding him for saying that. "I choose to ignore them but yet they seize every moment they get by pissing me off, I'm only trying to recover from my sister's death. Once I feel I can move again, they will see the old Fortune, I'm guessing they have missed her too much so they're trying every of their best to bring her out."
"Just be careful okay?," Ada pats her on the shoulder. "I don't want you getting in trouble because of them."
"Trust me, I won't."


What is love when you can't have the one your heart desire? When fate has cursed you? 



 As a painter, Jane ended up falling for her friend who's a celebrity. But since fate has other plans for her, her feelings ended up not being reciprocated which left her all battered and depressed. 



 Eventually her friend's parents brought a marriage proposal to her, informing her she's his bride to be. She went berserk at first but her celebrity friend didn't want that which left her heartbroken.



 
 But then she found herself in Japan but she had no memory of who she is, her parents told her she got into an accident which cost her memory. But then she started working in cafe where she met a famous celebrity from a band she adored. The celebrity moved by her voice promised to make her voice to be heard.
 

 Finally, fate decided to have some mercy on her and living up to her dream, She joined a female music band called The Salvo who changed her whole life. 


 
 But then she regained her memory and get to know who she is when her past life came knocking on her door step and the man she once loved will be the one featuring her band in a song. Him returning into her life threw her into a deep trauma which she couldn't overcome. One she can't come out from.

After that little talk with Meixiu I went to the 8th floor, and soon my name was called out.

Knocking the door I went inside the cabin which said on the door Liu Gen,
 
May I come in, asked Daiyu.

You may, Gen replied.

After placing my CV in front of him, he went through it and after a minute or two he looked at me and than at my CV, questioning something in his mind.

Miss Daiyu, I can't see your surname written anywhere in this, he said.

I just don't like to put it, with my name, Daiyu said, (she knew that this question is going to be asked as she had experienced this in all the interviews and the owner of the boutique was okay with it. )

(Gen ignores that situation)

Nevermind let's start, as you know we are looking for a professional designer to design jewellery and I don't want to brag but the Yang group is world famous for its jewellery designs, so in order to hire you I will have to see your works if you have??

Sir, just to let you know I am still a student in Parsons and only 6 months are left for me to be a fashion designer and my interest is in designing clothes, not much in jewellery though and I didn't knew about this job , it's someone who sended me this address an hour before because there is designer's job vacancies available in your company and I thought you needed a clothes designer but actually it was vice-a-versa and I need a job, but you see during free time I do design jewellery designs in my sketch book that I have it  with me right now, if you want I can show it to you? she said.

Yes please, he replied.

I gave my sketch book to him, and when he was looking at my jewellery designs he was smiling and I wasn't able to figure out that whether he was smiling because he liked it or because it was very bad and not upto their companies standard.

He took more than 5 minutes, with my sketch book and I decided to ask him whether he liked it or not.

Sir, I know my designs are not so good, it's fine....

Huh...miss Daiyu your designs are not good.

What ???, questioned Daiyu, she thought how could he directly say her like that, even though her designs were not good.

No I don't mean it like that way, you see it's one of the best designs that I have seen till now, you should not degrade your capability or your design, you should sit more during your free time and sketch more.

Thank you, I truly appreciate your comments...So...anymore questions Sir, Daiyu asked.

No more questions, and listen you are hired you don't have to wait for a call,he said and handshaked with Daiyu.

Thank you, Sir, I'll try to put my best, she said.

Okay and I am hoping for it and your tomorrow's schedule will be emailed it to you by tonight, he said smiling

Okay sir.

Liu Gen's POV;
 
Brother Hai and Brother Wei had told me to take care of the interviews, as they will come late and I gave in to help them, it was my first time taking interviews and I thought it will be a piece of cake for me but who knew that I have been duped by both of my brothers, this shit was way more irritating, than those business clients of whom cases I had solved, I mean since 10 a.m. I have been stucked here, interviewing all these clingy species of koalas dressed in a women clothes that too in the size of a handkerchief.

Ahh...(he scratched his head), both of you, I hate you, I can't do this anymore, he said.

 However, the next interviewee who entered my cabin was very different, at first I thought she was a model, she was dressed simply but her entire attire was black in colour, her presence was different than those girls that he had interviewed today, she was not clingy and koala type, she was a straightforward and sincere girl came for a job and not a typical one who tries to be flirty, when I saw her CV, I wasn't able to see her surname when asking about it she gave me an answered that kinda surprised me, upon hearing her answer I understood that she might have a past and should change the topic, she even cleared out the things that I was about to asked her without giving a thought that after saying this she might lose this job opportunity from her hand, later the sketch book that she handed me amazed me, I mean  how can she design something so beautiful and rare, and that too when she is not specialized in. 

Daiyu was a talented gem that our company needs, and if I let her go, without hiring her than their company will lost a precious gem, he thought. 

Without giving any more thoughts to it I hired her, though this is not the procedure their company follows where they directly tell the interviewee that she is hired, normally they call the interviewee by their assistants, and let them know regarding their jobs, but this was the first time that  someone from the company has ever did so, and I was confident about my choice.

After she left, I was sitting at my chair smiling like a fool and busy in thoughts that how can there be so much difference between Daiyu and other girls.

Daiyu's POV;
I never thought that I'll get the job so easily, but I was very happy about it, because I can't wait to complete my year at my school.

Later, I picked some snacks on the way and went to the old age home, where I usually visit whenever I wish and only my mom know why do I go there, and I am thankful for her that she never stopped me.

After enjoying my time with Grandpa Lei and other people, I left for the boutique. There I designed some clothes, while doing so I didn't knew when time passed by and it was already past nine, I left for my house after freshing up myself and dining, on my way to my bedroom I received an email regarding my new job schedule and according to it I have to reach the Yang Group by 9 in the morning, due to which I went to bed early as I didn't want to be late on my first day, as even though I am not an experienced designer in jewellery designs, but still I was given an opportunity by Mr.Gen and I am grateful for him.

20 years old Daiyu never interested in love, hated the word 'LOVE' except the one she has for her mother. She is in search for a second part-time job in order to complete  her fashion designer course and to help her mother. Until one night she gets involved in a seen where she encounters the two men Liu Longwei and Yang Hai. Where both of them turns her life upside down...

It has been days since Chantel and her son Travis came back from Canada. It was true Travis wanted to continue his senior high school in Ghana but Chantel herself had returned because of her new fashion house. She started her fashion designing in Canada, right after she was through with the fashion school. Soon, she had her own fashion house in Canada, which was producing one of the best designer clothes in the country. Everybody wanted to wear her designs and always eagerly awaited her new designs whenever she announced them on social media and on the news. 

When she made enough money in Canada, she decided to open a branch in her motherland, the place she grew up. She had lots of branches in Canada which fetched her lots of money, yet she felt it was time for her to show her designs to her own people. She had new ideas which she wanted to start working on immediately. So, as always, she picked her drawing book and started to work on her designs. 

She sat in the garden, busily working when her mother came to join her in the garden. 

"Hey baby girl. What are you doing?" she asked her. 

"I am just working on my first designs. I am actually hoping to use this as a start for the fashion house I will be opening up soon here. Actually, now that I am here, I have been thinking about it. I would like to go and see the warehouse where the clothes will be made," she closed her book and faced her mother. 

"Sure, I can take you there whenever you want. I am guessing you want start working right away, right?"

"Yes, I really do. I don't want to wait anymore. I want to start stocking the place with sewing machines and clothes and then start employing people. I don't want to waste time anymore, " Chantel replied. 

"Good. We will go there tomorrow then. I can't wait to see what you have in store," her mother said. 

"Let me show them to you... " she began to open her book. 

"No. I want you to surprise me. I know what you can do my daughter and I believe in you," her mother smiled at her. 

She smiled back. Her mother left her alone to work. 

As promised, Mrs Asare took Chantel to the warehouse her father got for her to start her work. When she got there, she was happy with what she saw. The place was huge enough for her liking. She even began to show her mother who accompanied her where she would be placing her machines and clothes. Her mother watched her with pride in her eyes as Chantel talked about her dreams and her future. She smiled at her daughter who kept jumping across the room with all the excitement she was feeling. 

Chantel had always wanted to be a fashion designer and own her own fashion line. So seeing her achieve her dreams, made her mother feel so proud of her. After both mother and daughter were sure of what they wanted to do, they left to the shop where Chantel would be selling her clothes. Just like the warehouse, Chantel was happy with the shop as well. Her father truly knew her well and had gotten her exactly what she wanted. She smiled at herself when she realised this and thought of doing something good for him. 

After they were done checking out the two places, they went back home and called it a day since it was already late when they got home. 

Little by little, Chantel stocked the warehouse with the machines she ordered from Canada and got the garments she needed to start her first set of designs. Then there was the most important one she had to do. Get people who would be working for her. chantel was a bit lost on how to go about that so Adiepena and Cynthia offered to help her on that. 

They placed advertisements on social media and the newspapers. Before long, people were tripping in from far and wide to apply for the job. She held the requirements outside the warehouse. Lots of men and young women applied when they saw the advertisements. And they all apples in their numbers. Some of the people who were applying knew about Chantel and her designs and had been planning on working with her if she ever decided to work in the country. So that means that was an absolute dream come true for them. As for the rest, they knew nothing about her, but, they still came to apply, because they believed they were capable enough for the job. 

Chantel was so happy that her hard work had paid off. She was able to get capable workers with the help of her friends. Her warehouse was already stocked, so all she needed was to start working which she did without delay. 

She started called her new place, Chanty designs, and threw a big party first to open it up officially. Even though she wanted to do something small with her friends and new employees, the party had become bigger than expected. Other celebrity designers who had heard about Chantel came to the party to meet her. Others came in the hopes of being partners with her. All the chances she was getting made her happy, pushing her to start working harder.

She was proud of what she had been able to achieve in the last few days she had returned back home and both her parents were proud of her too. She was ready to take over the world with her designs and nothing could stop her. She was finally ready to face the next chapter of her life.

Her designs, family and friends were now her number one priority and she was not going to allow anything take it away from her. She now lives for these three things in her life and that was all she needed.

While seeing the purple-haired contestant, Alibaba then asked the competition announcer near their seats to come to his location. When the announcer saw Alibaba, who was the third prince asking him to approach him seemingly to ask a question, the Announcer quickly went to be Alibaba was as he thought that he shouldn't offend Royalty even if from the rumors he heard that the third Prince was pretty friendly even to commoners like himself.
The male announcer said while bowing towards Alibaba, "Your Third Prince, How may I help you? Do you have anything you want me to do anything, third Prince?" Alibaba then said, "Can you raise your head now because it's making me uncomfortable, And I had called you here just because I want to ask sometime about that contestant over there."
As Alibaba said this, he pointed out the Purple-haired youth. When the announcer saw the person that Alibaba pointed out, he just nodded at Alibaba. He started to look at the book he was holding earlier, which contained the info about the contestants who entered this competition.
In recent months Alibaba seeing that the technologies in this world were significantly lower than Alma Torran, where he lived back then, and comparing the current technology of this world and the mysterious knowledge he got when he started to regain his memories as Solomon was like comparing a children's drawing to a professional Artist's Drawing.
When Alibaba had been Reborn with his past life's memories as he grew older these last two years, some knowledge about various magic tools and other types of technologies which seems to be powered by other stuff than magic, which some of them were, coal the sunlight, etc.
So due to this knowledge, Alibaba started to slowly introduce his father to these technologies, which he said was his own ideas, when King Rashid and the council members heard of Alibaba's Ideas for various technologies. Everyone was very skeptical at this, especially of making something that has the same function as magic tools. Even King Rashid, who always believes in his son's ideas, said to Alibaba, 
"Son, although we know you're a genius in many categories, I don't think your ideas are possible and what is a fossil fuel. Anyway, couldn't we use lightning magic for this thing you call a car, which honestly looks like a waste of metals and manual labor. And this phone to although the idea is great of talking with another person from far away from each other without magic, but what is this signal."
After being told of this, Alibaba realized something as ideas suddenly started flooding in his mind due to his immense intellect and wisdom due to his memories of Solomon's past life. Alibaba was smart enough to see through the disadvantage and advantages of the ideas he got from reborn.
After this, in his mind, Alibaba started forming new ways to improve the technologies and magic tools he had gotten. So after being told over by his Father and Council members, Alibaba then, due to his quick thinking, decided to temporarily halt his ideas for advanced technologies and magic tools for now and then said to Rashid, 
"I apologized for the flawed ideas, father, as I seemed to have just gotten inspired by some things due to my dreams lately; however, father, I still think some of the ideas I have proposed today have potential, so after this, I'll improve my designs over them until it would be satisfactory enough for everyone her until everyone thinks my ideas would be satisfactory."
"However, Father and the council, aside from my proposal on these devices and magic tools, I have also since there are relatively few ways of entertainment in our kingdom or every kingdom to be exact. So I had developed some ways for our Kingdoms another way of entertainment aside from Combat, Music, and Literature."
Then as Alibaba said this, he brought out a wooden box that he brought with him when he entered the council room earlier, and inside the wooden box was parchments filled with designs of various games. Alibaba then said after seeing the confused expressions of everyone in the room after they saw the parchments. 
"Father, this is some ways of entertainment I have thought up with to entertain both Nobles in their own home without even standing up." So after explaining the details about the parchments, he showed to everyone in the group. You can play various ways, especially with the card games that Alibaba showed, which interested most Nobles as most of them rarely have any other source of entertainment aside from orchestra's duels amongst magicians and warriors and some books.
Recently which unlike the normal types of books before, which commonly talked about history and academics commonly printed back then. This new type of book consisted of fictional events with fictional characters, which unknown to everyone in the room was also an idea given by Alibaba by chance to Sahbmad a while back when they talked to each other.
And in recent days, after the release of this new type of book to the public from Sahbmad's new merchant group named Sabren Merchant group. This book becomes popular immediately to everyone as the people had few sources of entertainment recently, especially since most commoners and previous people of the slum are now jam-packed with work, which leads them not to have much time as before to have fun outside and due to this book they can read it while they are working or at home, so it became popular immediately.
After inspecting the designs that Alibaba showed them in the parchment, after a few minutes of talking, the council and King Rashid thought this would be a great idea and approve of Alibaba's design. And after talking for a while on how they can handle this, what to do with these designs. The council decided to hand over these designs to Sahbmad, the second prince since they knew that he wouldn't be ungrateful if they did give Alibaba's design to his own brother, and they might even be able to get more. benefits
So after this, Alibaba then gave these designs and other projects. He also thinks that his brother can sell in his own merchant group some of the other ideas he had that can help the nobles and commoners in their livelihood.
And so after this, Sahbmad's Sabren Merchant group started to grow quickly due to its unique selections of items, and recently Alibaba had also proposed the idea of copyright law in the kingdom to Kiong Rashid which when King Rashid heard the idea of this law, they immediately implemented this as because of the years of being high members of Balbadd they also didn't like of some shady merchants in their country taking an inexperienced merchant's valuable goods and selling it once again with a much higher price than the inexperienced merchant's base price.
Although some Nobles mostly ignore the type of scenarios due to some goods that are possibly stolen lands on a person who was not a thief, a lot of trouble is produced due to this, and sometimes an inferior good is sold instead of the real goods which are higher quality than the inferior goods.
So due to this, some Nobles in the council were fooled by some cunning merchants selling them fake goods or stolen goods, which either made them lose a ton of money or landed some of them in major problems, so they saw this law's advantages to them and the second princes business, so they readily agreed to it.
And due to these events, Sabren Merchant group, until the day of the completion where Alibaba was currently at now quickly became the 10th largest merchant group of Balbadd and will inevitably become the top merchant group in the future once given time as Sabren Merchant group are known for their special goods and unique items which other merchants weren't able to acquire due to the copyright law that was established. Even though some tried to smuggle some of the goods, they were quickly arrested by Balbadd soldiers after being found and arrested. And due to this new treatment, once found violating the copyright rule, many shady merchants started to either become straight merchants or left Balbadd all together due to not being able to do their shady jobs anymore, at least in the public eye.

The old king Solomon after his death has now been Reborn in the world he once had created. With his new life he swore to rebuild his kingdom and find all of his past friends and loved ones as he was Now the true king Alibaba.

"Greeting you, Dakini!" All the deities dropped to their knees to greet the Dakini, including the All-Access Deity, Sheng Deity and the Sword Deity.
Dakini looked at the rest of the deities with a smile. "Please rise! The Carnival of All Gods begins now!"
Like a holy goddess, Dakini led the other people here to perform the worship.
Everyone closed their eyes. The deities released their Celestial Energy Sphere. The people who were not deities like Su Yu started to pray silently.
Before long, a fluctuation of the Celestial Energy Sphere appeared as if those deceased deities had sensed the worship. Then, the will of those deceased deities gushed out from their tombs to release their remnant Celestial Energy Sphere.
People got a clear feeling that the entire world had started to release magnificent Celestial Energy Sphere, It was like an enormous spring opening. The divine energy flew out from the world of the deceased deities' tombs and descended in all to the other worlds in the Great Eastern Alliance.
After a while, Dakini opened her eyes and took back her Celestial Energy Sphere. Then, she said as she looked at the rest people gently, "The deceased deities have given response to our worship. Now, you can pacify the souls of your ancestors in their tombs!"
Although the deities had passed away, their will was still here.
A powerful will could even take a form and think independently. Then, it would be almost like a soul.
The souls of the top 30 deceased deities were able to materialize their will.
Therefore, the family of the top 30 deities would always gain a lot during the Carnival of All Gods because the will of their deceased ancestors would always try to help their descendants.
So, if the family members pacified the souls of their ancestors, it was possible that the will of their ancestors could impart their secret skills to their descendants or even gave instructions to their descendants on the spot.
Those who had the bloodline would be recognized by their ancestor.
When Sheng Yuanxin and her mother were worshiping their ancestors, a figure rushed up and fell to his knees, starting to worship all the previous Sheng Deities.
Seeing this, Sheng Yuanxin shouted in surprise, "Feather God? You should worship the previous Crane Deities! Why do you worship my ancestors?"
Su Yu worshiped the previous Sheng Deities respectfully as he said seriously, "The previous deities fought for this world with their blood and life. As a newcomer, I want to take this opportunity to show my reverence to them. I hope the previous Sheng Deities will bless the Great Eastern Alliance so that it can be prosperous forever!"
Seeing his serious expression, Sheng Yuanxin was quite skeptical because she didn't believe this guy could be so nice.
After the worship, Su Yu stood up and said as he looked at Sheng Yuanxin with a faint smile, "The Crane Deity's family only has three tombs. I have worshiped those ancestors reverently. I want to take this opportunity to worship more deceased deities! See you later!"
After saying that, Su Yu left gracefully for the next tomb.
Sheng Yuanxin murmured in a low voice, "I'm afraid this guy is going to make trouble again! Many tombs still have the will of those deceased deities. If he offends them, nobody can save him!"
"Is that Su Yu?" the Sheng Deity who was standing beside Sheng Yuanxin asked as she glanced at Su Yu.
Sheng Yuanxin nodded her head and said, "Right! He's a smart guy who has a lot of evil designs!"
"Right! He really has a lot of evil designs! He even used his evil designs on the will of the deceased deities!" the Sheng Deity said as she stared at Su Yu angrily.
"Ah!" Sheng Yuanxin said in surprise with her mouth open. "Mother, did he do something to our ancestors? This guy is outrageous! How dare he use his evil designs on our ancestors!"
The Sheng Deity replied with a faint smile, "Have you noticed he only worships the tomb with the will of the deceased deities"
Hearing this, Sheng Yuanxin fixed her eyes on Su Yu and found he only worshiped those tombs with deity's will. She couldn't help but gasp in surprise. "I didn't expect this guy to be so bold! How could he use his evil designs on the will of those deceased deities? If he annoyed one of those deceased deities, he will be in big trouble!"
The will of those deceased deities also had feelings. Once they were annoyed, they could punish him by controlling the skeletons of the deceased deities.
Although these skeletons were not as powerful as the deities, they could kill Su Yu easily.
"Trouble? I don't think so! Although I don't know how he did that, I sensed the aura of the Sheng Deity's bloodline in his body when he worshiped!" the Sheng Deity said.
"What?" Sheng Yuanxin said as she looked at the Sheng Deity in surprise. "Mother, do you mean he is... my long-lost elder brother?"
She never expected Su Yu could be her mother's illegitimate child!
Hearing this, the Sheng Deity was somewhat stunned. Then, she turned to Sheng Yuanxin and said angrily, "Nonsense! He imitated the aura of our bloodline!"
"Oh!" Sheng Yuanxin let out a sigh of relief as she thought to herself, "Fortunately, he is not my elder brother. Otherwise, I will be bullied by this smart guy forever!"
"He didn't do anything disrespectful to our ancestors! So, I pretended I didn't know what he did!" the Sheng Deity said.
Sheng Yuanxin was totally shocked as she fixed her eyes on Su Yu. Then, she found he had run past many tombs and finally stopped in front of the tomb of... the previous Book Deities.
Oh, no! How dare he worship the tomb of the deceased Book Deities! The Book Deity's family was one of the most time-honored families in the Great Eastern Alliance. Over ten Book Deities had passed away. Among them, five had materialized will.
As the one who ruined the foundation and slaughtered the members of the Book Deity's family, he would get killed if he approached those tombs.
It seemed Su Yu didn't sense any danger. When he walked to the tombs of the previous Book Deities, he didn't worship but said in surprise, "Hey! This is strange! All the other tombs are releasing the Celestial Energy Sphere to nourish the Great Eastern Alliance. Why are the tombs of the Book Deities so quiet now? Does it mean the previous Book Deities don't have the will to guard the Great Eastern Alliance?"
Although his voice was not high, everyone had heard his words.
At this moment, almost all the tombs were releasing Celestial Energy Sphere to nourish this world. Even the tombs which had no materialized will like the tombs of the Crane Deities and Jing Deities also did their best to nourish this world with their feeble will.
Only ten tombs of the deceased Book Deities were silent at this moment. That made them quite eye-catching.
The other deities and successors pretended they didn't hear what Su Yu said.
But they knew this fact clearly. And they didn't like it at all!
After all, all these deities passed away in the world of the Great Eastern Alliance. Even if they didn't want to nourish the alliance after their death, the living ones didn't want to blame them because they should show respect to the deceased. So, they didn't want to say anything about that.
However, Su Yu continued to say recklessly, "I didn't expect the deities of the Great Eastern Alliance could be so kind. You even placed the tombs of the Book Deities who don't care about this world in this place and allowed billions of creatures in this world to worship them! For me, these ten tombs shall be thrown into the Star River! If they don't want to do anything for this world, it is not necessary for them to stay here!"
Hearing this, the other deities and successors looked at each other with embarrassed smiles.
They agreed with what Su Yu said. The Book Deity's family was quite odd. It was acceptable if one Book Deity didn't want to nourish this world. However, none of the ten generations of Book Deities wanted to do anything for this world after their death by releasing their Celestial Energy Sphere. Apparently, the members of the Book Deity didn't consider themselves to be members of the Great Eastern Alliance.
Therefore, nobody liked the Book Deity's family.
In addition, the Book Deity's family always wanted to spy on the other deities with the Book Deity's Treasury, which aroused aversion among them.
For all the other deities in this world, the Book Deity was disgusting.
Many people had tried to throw the tombs of the deceased Book Deities into the Star River. However, all the previous Book Deities were quite powerful. Also, the family of the Book Deity kept a good relationship with the Glaze Fairy Deity. Since the Book Deity's family didn't do anything that evil, the other deities chose to turn a blind eye to this family.
That was why so many deities chose to help Su Yu secretly when he tried to destroy the Book Deity's Treasury.
It was because the Book Deity's family was so unpopular in this world.
When Su Yu uttered those words that they didn't dare to say in public, many deities sniggered.
Even Sheng Yuanxin also said with a smile, "His words are rude but reasonable! I didn't expect the ten tombs of the deceased Book Deities could be so... Alas!"
She sighed. At the same time, Su Yu also exclaimed, "Along with the rapid population increase in the Great Eastern Alliance, lands are becoming increasingly scarce! It is quite difficult for people to find tombs, which are also very expensive! We haven't found a place to bury the current Crane Deity who has just passed away! I suggest we should move the tombs of the Book Deities out of this world. Since they don't care about this world, I think they will be quite happy if their tombs are drifting in the Star River! What a win-win solution!"
Su Yu took out a spade. It seemed he was about to dig the tombs up.
Although a lot of deities were in this place, nobody stepped out to stop Su Yu. It was as if they had reached a tacit agreement about Su Yu's mischievous action.
At this time, deep inside the tombs of the Book Deities, Qin Feichen was kneeling down on the ground and talked with the souls of his ancestors reverently about what happened in his family recently through telepathy.
He told his ancestors that Su Yu had ruined his family's foundation and slaughtered his family members.
When Qin Feichen sensed the anger of his ancestors, he said with a sinister smile, "Su Yu! If you could survive when the souls of five deceased deities try to kill you, I will accept this misfortune!"
This was Qin Feichen's plan.
Su Yu would definitely attend the Carnival of All Gods.
Qin Feichen only needed to tell his ancestors what had happened in his family. Then, these deceased deities would rush out from their tombs and kill Su Yu on the spot.
These were the souls of five deceased deities! Su Yu would be killed no matter how many prospective deities tried to protect him.
The only problem was how to lure Su Yu to the tombs of the Book Deities.
If Su Yu was too far away, these souls of deceased deities would be stopped by the rest of the deities here.
When Qin Feichen was secretly thinking this over, Su Yu's disrespectful words came into his ears.
Qin Feichen was annoyed immediately because he didn't expect Su Yu could be so arrogant in front of his ancestors.
Soon, a chilly smile appeared on Qin Feichen's lips. When you put your head in a noose, don't blame my cruelty!
You knocked at my door when I was wondering how to lure you to this place! Also, you are humiliating the previous Book Deities!
Now, your disrespectful words have totally annoyed these deceased deities. That was even more effective than my complaints!
"Su Yu, nobody could save you today!" Qin Feichen sneered as if he had seen Su Yu's miserable death.
He didn't expect Su Yu was also murmuring in his mind when cold light flashed in his eyes. Heh! Heh! Qin Feichen, as expected, you didn't let me down! Then, I will not only kill you, but also smash the tombs of all your ancestors!


A decision can destroy the sun, moon and stars. A finger can kill the Heavenly Overlord. While chatting, the Heaven and ten worlds can be annihilated.
A poor little kid walks out from a remote mountain area while holding the Nine Dragons and the Incredible Cauldron. With a control over the time and space eternally, he embarks on the Path to God where he defies the odds of the boundless universe gaudily by fighting against royalty and clashing with the legendary generation.

Zen, Joe and Sam followed the person whom looks like Nic in golden robe. Walking towards the place where the beast came from.

When the golden robe person points finger at the mysterious door ahead when Zen, Joe and Sam looks at the door when Zen turns around wanting to ask the person in golden robe he disappeared.

Zen ask Joe and Sam where is he? Joe and Sam says don't know he disappeared. Zen tell Joe and Sam be careful ahead. Zen tell Joe to protect Sam as Sam doesn't have a weapon. (Sam kept a gun but Zen and Joe doesn't know) Zen step forward and check on the mysterious door its engraved with designs like flower and symbols. Zen ask Joe to whether he recognized the symbols and flower design. Joe says the flower seems to represent Empress but the symbols he is unable to read them. 

Zen says let's find a way to open this door. Sam lean on the mysterious door as he lean the door opens. Zen says wow it's good that you are injured. Sam thinks was it a compliment or disgrace. Joe help Sam with one-arm holding on to him. Zen says let's go in to see. 

As they step into the mysterious door the shocking thing is they sees a coffin covered in gold. Means it's made of gold coffin. Zen says could this be the empress coffin? Joe says most likely is the empress. Zen says if that the case we shouldn't disturb the empress sleeping. Sam says the golden robe guy that looks like Nic points us to this room there must be something in this room. Joe says yes it makes sense the golden robe guy wouldn't just save us and points us to this room for nothing. Zen says then what could it be for us to be lead to this room? Joe and Sam stay quiet for a while. Zen says don't tell me to open the empress coffin?? 

Joe and Sam says there could be this possibility. Zen says then let's open the coffin. Zen and Joe push the coffin but it's not moving an inch after 10 mins. Zen say Sam come help us push the coffin. They push the coffin for 15 mins still not moving. Sam says could it be there is an button to push just like the previous coffin, where I fell and it opened the coffin.

Zen says then let's find the button. Zen scratch his head. Joe sees Zen in stress maybe the things we are doing now don't make sense since Zen is a Vampire himself it doesn't make sense for him to open other people coffin. Zen says could the symbols outside the door has any hints to open this coffin?

Joe says maybe. The flower on the door appears on this coffin too. Sam says could the designs on the coffin is drawn a mirror image to the door outside designs? I look at this part it look like a mirror drawn opposite designs. Joe ask Sam to move aside and he take a look at the designs.

Joe says it's true the designs are drawn opposite. Joe ask Zen to take a look. Zen says then how to open even you know it's drawn opposite design how to open this coffin? They crack their heads for sometime to analyze the designs on the coffin and where to open it but to no avail.

Sam says I need to rest for a while I feel dizzy. Joe says maybe the air here is bad and lack of oxygen. Zen says Sam you just sit somewhere and let us think. Joe help on to Sam. Sam touch something and he fell off and since Joe is holding on to Sam they both fell together. Zen shout Joe!! 

Now Zen is left alone with a golden coffin unopen. Joe and Sam fell to the underground layer (closed after they fell it automatically closed). 

**(Everyone must be curious what happen to Shaun who managed to ran out of the underground. Let's continue the story of Shaun above the ground.) 

Shaun he took a book, 2 pieces of gold bars, 20 gold coins, 2 Jades, a shield, gun, sword and a metal chain underground and drove off from Zen Mansion.  Halfway drive the car petrol runs out. He went to the petrol station to pump the car petrol and quickly drove off to his house. He realize now the receipt printed by the petrol station is year 2020 Shaun says in his heart the time run underground seems low but above the ground it normal. (1 year Shaun was with them underground)

Shaun didn't think of Nic at this point in time as he has important things to do. Shaun drive home and he stays alone in a big house 🏡. He park his car and took out all those things he got them underground to his room. He realized that weird thing is his house is clean no dust and no newspaper 🗞 at the gate.

He drive to a restaurant to eat a proper meal since he didn't eat nor drink for sometime. Shaun listen to the news and realize Zen company since Zen is missing his brothers are taking care of his company. Shaun suddenly remembers Ken which is Zen lover is in the hospital and he knows TT hospital he thinks he should  go there to check whether Ken is it still there or not. After his meal, Shaun drive to TT hospital.

I need to check is the Patient Ken still in the VIP ward his doctor in charge is Doc. Leon. The nurse ask: May I know who are you? I am his brother but I lost the access card. Nurse say Ken is no longer in the hospital he was discharged 6 months ago. Shaun ask may I speak to Doc. Leon? Can you call Doc. Leon I need to ask to him. The nurse call Doc. Leon and pass the phone to Shaun.

Ken say yes I was discharge 6 months ago. Ken ask Shaun by the way did you know where is Nic? He didn't come back home for 6 months. Shaun says Nic is missing in Zen Mansion. Ken say who is Zen?? 

(To be continued.... I decided to give a punch on the last minute of the storyline 😁😰 horror/shocking to anyone?? Give your comments to me! Let's us look forward for next exciting chapter ahead but it will take me sometime to write as I am busy with stuffs... I decided to write concurrent Underground happenings and Shaun, Ken above the ground this will run concurrent but when they meet up altogether that might be sometime later on I don't know how long will this take (Underground story) but let's see how it goes... )

In order to rid the dark shadow of being a thief from her forehead, Lina had to narrate how she had ended up with Stephen's book that was filled with rough drafts for his Winter Collection.
Once the misunderstanding about the ownership of the notebook was clarified, Lina and Benji then sat on the couch and perused the designs together.
Each page held new and distinct designs which elicited ooh's and ahh's from them at frequent intervals.
"You think you will be able to create jewelry designs in such a short amount of time?" Benji inquired while flipping through the pages.
'Hehe, he is underestimating my will power to achieve what I have decided!' She rolled her eyes at his lack of faith in her work ethic.
Lina glanced up and chuckled at him which made him look up as well.
'Looks like it is time to go old school style just like in the old days!' She announced in her heart as though she was an old lady ripe in age and experience.
The devious smirk on her face which was clear to Benji made him frown as he felt an ominous feeling rising in his heart.
That smirk coupled with the information he had just received could only point towards one thing which made him apprehensive.
"No no! Nana, don't even think about it! Not again!" He chided her when he realized what that smirk meant.
Lina let out a loud and hearty chuckle as she nodded indicating that it was exactly what he was thinking about.
'He knows me all too well.' She exclaimed as he was one of the few people who had been with her since the conception of her baby, Obsidia Designs.
Upon receiving her nod of acceptance, Benji pressed his forehead and sighed but did not say anything further in an attempt to change her mind.
'It is not like she would change her mind even if I tried to persuade her.' He scoffed and then decided that it would be a waste of his energy and breath to try to talk some sense into her.
This reaction of his was thanks to a particular habit that Lina had honed over the years which would help her whenever she needed it.
Whenever Lina was strapped for time and needed to pump out designs without hindering or compromising with the quality of her work, she would do something strange.
Something that she called 'Closed-door cultivation' based on one of the wuxia novels that she had read a long time back.
'Now that I think about it… It has been too long since I've read my novels!' She cried out in her heart as now she wouldn't be able to do that for quite some time thanks to the Winter Collection.
"Where will you be cooped up this time?" Benji interrupted her thoughts with his inquiry.
"It is called Closed-Door Cultivation and not being cooped up like a chicken!" The young lady snarled at the man who was disrespecting her methods of work.
The roll of the eye which she received was customary every time she had used that sentence before him.
However, what he said was not wrong since she would do just that.
Lina would stay indoors without much contact with anyone else until she emerged one day with the drafts of her jewelry, ready to impress the world.
Benji was always proud of the outcome yet disagreed with her journey towards it.
'She always neglects her health while doing this cultivation... or whatever it is that she likes to call it.' He sneered in his heart but did not utter a word about it as he knew what needs to be done to get her on the right track if she were to be too reckless with her actions.
"Yea yea… So which hotel should I book for you this time around?" He questioned as he would soon need to make preparations for her.
Lina's method would need her to stay alone which meant that she would leave her house and stay in a hotel for zero distractions during her cultivation period.
This question made her ponder for a few seconds as she did not know much about the hotels in this city.
"You decide. I'll be fine as long as you arrange everything I need inside the room." She doled out her orders to her trustworthy assistant who knew all about her likes and dislikes.
'She is just too lazy to do the research online!' He shook his head and then agreed to her instructions with a soft hum.
Having completed one task, she was reminded of another matter which needed Benji's expertise.
"Benji, can you hack into the security cameras at your apartment?" She polled with a yearning look on her face.
Benji gave her a nod showing that he could do it but did not speak any further as he was waiting for a proper explanation from her.
'Ugh! Such busybodies!' She groaned in her heart as she fell onto the table, making sure to stay away from Stephen's notebook to not crease its pages.
Benji did not melt even when she gave him the puppy eyes and pouted like a child who would soon throw a tantrum.
"Okay Fine!" She declared as she sat up straight once she realized that Benji was not going to fall for her cute appearances as he was immune to her tricks.
Having left with no other options, Lina groaned once again before narrating the incident where she met Jackson for the first and only time.
"So you want to warn an absolute stranger that his girlfriend might be lying to him?" He quizzed incredulously at the absurdity of the situation that he was informed about.
Lina nodded but then shook her head in reply to his question.
"I do wish to warn him and he is not a stranger since I know his name!" She retorted with a huff.
The childish words and actions made Benji shake his head and sigh for the nth time today since he had entered her office room.
"I can ask Wayne if you are not willing to do it for me!" She announced when she noticed the weary look on his face as he continued to sigh at her.
Of course, Benji knew that she could ask her brother who was also a tech wiz to help her out in this regard but he chose to do it for her instead as she was his boss and friend.
"I will look into it when I get the time." He replied which received a round of happy applause from her.
'I have sorted this matter out and can cultivate in peace.' She smiled as she took another glance at the drafts in the book.
As she flipped through the pages her excitement to create new designs to go with these beautiful dresses was the only thing on her mind.
Benji silently made his exit while Lina continued to gaze at the designs as she made mental images of what type of jewelry would match these dresses.
Sadly, she had forgotten about the man who only had thoughts about her on his mind at this moment.
What would Reuben do when he would soon be informed about this closed-door cultivation method that Lina was about to begin?


Lina Yang had everything that you could want. 

Loving parents - Yes

People who care about her - Yes

Wealth - Yes

Talent - Hell Yes

Then what was her problem? 

Simple. 

She had read way too many novels in her teens causing her brain to function differently. 

The drama and face slapping excited her but the love and tragedy scared her. 

The angst, the drama and the constant and prolonged misunderstandings in them had carved the brain of young Lina Yang to think in a weird way. She constantly tried to relate her situation with those novels and also thought of those that never would happen. 

For a virgin, she thought a little too much about what she would do if she ever got pregnant after a drunk one night stand with a random stranger. 

Always at a conflict with her fantasy world and the reality around her. 

She wants to see the drama around her but hates to be the center of attention. 

She wants to be Kabedon-ed to the wall and fiercely kissed by an evil, possessive CEO type of guy. But at the same time, she thinks of all the sweet innocent MCs whose hearts were broken by the same type. 


She just wanted fluff with a side of excitement while excluding the angst and heartbreak. Is that too much to ask for? 


Will Lina Yang be able to cope with the storm of new changes happening in her life? Will she find love which she always imagined or will she be left heartbroken? 

Only time will tell. 


----

Pinned to the couch, Lina stared upwards at the man whose body was looming over hers.


His eyes roamed across her slender body, pausing for a split second at her heaving chest before focusing on those soft lips which were slightly parted.


“So Miss Yang, I heard that you wished to be kissed fiercely until you are left breathless and dazed.” He smirked as he drew closer to her deeply reddening face.


‘Who the hell snitched about my fantasy!?’ Lina widened her eyes and screamed in her mind.


However, as she watched the nearing face of the man who seemed to be on a mission to fulfill her fantasy, Lina could not help but blush further.


“Just say the word and I can turn your fantasy into reality~” He muttered teasingly and moved closer until their lips were just a hair’s breadth away from each other.


Lina gazed into his dark, enchanting eyes and there was only one thought in her mind.


Angling her head upward, she put her thought into action and successfully captured his lips causing him to freeze in the process.


‘Well, aren’t you a bold one!’ He smirked against her lips after receiving her answer and quickly got to work.

This is my first novel so guys please be patient and understanding. 

Liyah finished watching her drama and August was still sound asleep. She didn't want to disturb her, so, Liyah gently placed her head on a pillow beside her and stood up. She went into her workshop and started cleaning up the place.

Lately, she hadn't had the opportunity to do any sewing or designing because of what happened. Now that things were going back to normal, she needed to work on her designs and send them to the factory for the mass production.

Liyah packed most of the designs she discarded on the floor and gathered them together. She placed them in a paper box and went back to sit on the chair. She spread the current designs she was working on the working table and looked at them. This was her first work as a solo designer and she wanted everything to be perfect. 

Being a perfectionist at heart, Liyah took her time in designing her clothes. To her, clothes weren't just meant for wearing to cover body parts. Clothes meant so much more to her. Liyah viewed clothes as a part of life. A life that showed confidence and capability. Clothes defined people.

Liyah wanted her clothes to be able to apt the confidence of women. She wanted women to feel that there wasn't anything they couldn't achieve once they put her clothes on. She wanted her designs to speak out for themselves but she was scared to. She was scared that things were going on too smoothly for her. 

She hadn't heard from Josh Saint again since that time at the hospital which was oddly strange to her because she knew Josh Saint wasn't one to stop or keep calm after suffering such humiliation that day. 

Deciding not to ponder much into it, she picked her phone and dialled the factory manager's number and it went through.

Liyah leaned on her table as she spoke with the manager ''hello, this is Liyah Myers. I contacted you a month ago about some designs I wanted your company to help me with in terms of mass production? I haven't been able to get in touch again due to some personal reasons'' 

''Yes, Miss Myers. Actually, I was going to give you a call after not hearing from you. Is like this, we have a new CEO and she asked that all new contracts be passed through him before final decisions could be made. It will be good if you came to see him yourself?'' 

''That's what is it? Alright, then can you give me his secretary's number. I will call and book an appointment first''  Liyah said to the manager. Liyah wondered why there was such a rule because previously when she was at her company, they would usually contact the factory manager and everything will be settled but since that was now a company policy because of their new CEO, Liyah couldn't say much. She quickly dialled the secretary's number and it went through.

''Hello, this is Mina speaking'' the secretary answered after a few rings.

''Hi, this is Liyah Myers. I would like to book an appointment with your CEO''  Liyah spoke confidently over the phone.

''May I ask what kind of appointment this is?''  the lady called Mina asked over the phone. Her voice seemed strange.

''I would like to talk to him about a mass production I was hoping the factory would make for me. I am having a fashion show scheduled for two months' time''

''What is the name of your company if I may ask? The CEO doesn't accept individual persons' productions except for those who have a company''

''I see. well, I am starting over due to some reasons but I can assure you this is a genuine business. I would like to book an appointment and discuss further with your CEO, please?''

''Alright, I will let the CEO know and get back to you''  Mina said and the phone hung up immediately. Liyah looked at the phone and frowned. Were secretaries allowed to behave this way towards people now?

''Someone pooped on you?''

Liyah turned and saw August Maijune at the door ''you are awake? I hope I didn't wake you up?'' Liyah asked and sat down. August went inside and shook her head.

''No, you didn't wake me up. My alarm did. Is raining crazily out there" August looked at Liyah and asked "what's wrong? You look down?'' August asked as she pulled a chair closer to Liyah and sat down.

''That was the factory I contacted for the mass production of my designs. They said they recently got a new CEO and he has placed a policy that all mass productions were to pass through his scrutiny before production started''

''Then, you should send that new CEO your designs?'' August said.

''I called his secretary just now to ask for a time to meet him but she was going on about how the CEO didn't want to meet individuals who didn't have a company to represent them'' Liyah said and sighed adding ''anyways, is not as simply as it looks''.

''Explain to me'' August said.

''Having a factory to look through your designs could rise plagiarism if care of not taken. Most fashion houses usually don't allow such a thing because once the designs go to the factory administration and you don't have a strong backer, your work could easily be plagiarised. But, that is not even the problem. The problem is that; the CEO won't even meet with any designer who worked alone. It has more to do with having investors and partners''.

''That is bad. Then, how about we do this. You need a partner and investor to be able to start a company and for the factory to accept your work. Isn't it? I also want to start doing something for myself. How about we join hands and make this work?''

''I don't understand what you mean?'' Liyah said.

''How could you be slow-witted at the wrong time. Is very simple. What I mean is that, I am willing to be your business partner. I have money from my parent's trust fund. Wait, did I just say my parents trust fund? How did I suddenly remember something like that?'' August spoke and Liyah looked at her.

''August, did you just remember something about yourself?''  Liyah asked and straightened her posture on the chair.

''I don't know. It just came to me. I don't know how I suddenly remembered something like that'' August said and felt confused with herself. She frowned and felt a sudden shiver over her whole body.

''August, are you alright?'' Liyah stood up and touched her cautiously while she asked.

''I don't know; I just feel weird suddenly like…like…''  August couldn't finish her sentence as she felt dizzy all of a sudden. She felt like her head was going round in circles.

''August, what is it. Don't scare me?'' Liyah said.

August tried to stand on her feet and felt dizzy. She held unto Liyah's shoulder and stuttered.

''Big sis, call Dr. Kash. I don't feel well suddenly''. August managed to speak the words out.

''Okay, let me send you to the whole first and call Kash'' Liyah said and helped August to the hall.

An hour later, Kash arrived and removed his raincoat and saw Aaron, Leo and Liyah in the hall. August was unconscious as she laid on the sofa.

''What happened to her?'' Kash asked as he put his medical box down and knelt on one knee beside August.

''I don't know. We were just talking about my designs and she suddenly remembered something about her parents leaving her a trust fund before she started acting strange. She first felt dizzy and then fainted''  Liyah narrated everything to Kash and sighed helplessly. Leo touched her hand and squeezed it gently saying.

''Don't worry, Kash is here. August Maijune will be fine''. Liyah nodded.

''She seems to be running a fever'' Kash said after running some random checks on her  ''but we will have to do an MRI on her to know more about the cause. She probably fainted due to exhaustion. Her mind must be trying to remember certain expects of her life she probably didn't know about or something her other personalities knew about''. 

''Will she be fine?'' Aaron asked as he sat closer to August Maijune.

''She will be fine. I will give her some injections that will help her regain consciousness soon. Don't worry too much. August Maijune is a tough nut. She will be fine''  Kash assured Aaron and opened his medical box. Her removed an injection cleaned August hand with a wet alcoholic cotton.

''She will probably sleep for a while before she wakes up. When she wakes up tomorrow, we will do the rest of the test and scan at the hospital''  Kash told them.

''The last time, you said nothing showed up in her MRI and that she was fine?'' Leo asked.

''Medically wise in terms of ailment, she is fine but the problem with August Maijune isn't about her general health. It had to do with her mental health. Her DID which she currently refuses treatment is the problem. I only hope that no new personality shows up before she agrees to the therapy''

''What happens if another personality appears before that?'' Aaron asked worriedly.

''It will only bring trouble and make it more difficult for her to get treated fast. The sooner she agrees to the therapy, the quicker her recovery will be'' Kash said and they looked at each other.

Adriana nodded her head at Noah's request. She walked out of the ward stiffly and followed his words as if she were hypnotized.

"Wait outside for me love. I will give you a ride to where you need to go."

'He's a good actor.' She thought as she slowly walked down the hall. She took a deep breath and calmed down.

She decided to leave before he could come out because right now she was about to have a nervous breakdown. As she walked down she saw Mrs.Preston walking towards the ward with some food in her hands.

She was bringing an alternative meal for the porridge that the old lady had been refusing to eat.

"Mrs.Preston, grandma has eaten the porridge." Adriana informed her.

"Ah, thank you for informing me. Adriana you can just call me auntie. There is no need to be so formal with me. Although we have never been on good terms, I don't wish for that to be the same forever." She said with a genuine smile.

"Of course Auntie." Adriana forced a beautiful sarcastic smile on her face. "Though, I don't know about us being on good terms. I don't mind but is that really the case for you?" She asked carelessly.

The woman's smile froze for a second and she let out a breath. "It seems you still hold a grudge for the past."

"Ho ho, it's hard not to auntie. You listened to all the rumors surrounding your daughter-in-law knowing it could harm her reputation and possibly her marriage and yet you did nothing to stop them or defend her despite knowing that they were false. I trusted you and confided in you, I told how afraid at was of that person but when the time came and I needed you to speak up for me you were silent."

"Even though your marriage was almost destroyed once in the past because someone interfered , you still helped the homewrecker enter my home and you let her do as she pleased. You let history repeat itself but this time you allowed the homewrecker to succeed."

"I-"

"But it's okay auntie . Your decisions are justified. After all, every mother wants the best for their children. You THOUGHT that was the best for your son so….you let me fall to the brink of my death without remorse. Should I thank you for sending someone to save me at the last minute because of your guilt?" Adriana crossed her arms mockingly.

"Oh, well it's fine. You only wanted what's best for your son so I should just live with the consequences. Anyway, considering the fact that your son brought an orphan woman, called her his girlfriend and said that he would marry her soon, you were probably terrified.

"After all you did have someone prepared for him since the beginning. I'm really glad I'm not your daughter, it would be sad having a mother controlling my life and not allowing me to make my own mistakes, decisions and experiences."

"Adriana, please forgive me." The woman bowed her head and her hands trembled at her accusations.

"Why are you asking for forgiveness auntie? Of course I forgive you. You did the best for your son and that's justified right? But-" Adriana lifted her finger as if she remembered something.

"This time don't get in the middle of my plans. You no longer have any way of protecting her. I would stay back if I were you. Trust me AUNTIE you shouldn't get in the path of a vengeful woman." Adriana smiled sweetly and she walked right past her.

She held a startled expression after when she saw the person in front of her.

Mrs.Preston turned to see who it was and she froze. She examined Adriana's expression to see if she had said that on purpose so that the person could hear her. Seeing her startled expression she realized that it wasn't planned by her and she too was surprised.

Paris:

James sighed. It had been a whole day and nothing. He had found absolutely nothing.

He walked around his mothers office and he sighed. Once in a while he would touch the unfinished clothing placed around the room. They were drafts her mom had left before finishing the actual designs. He decided to go through her scratchbooks where she has a lot of old designs.

He went through a few of the books and he would always recognize some designs familiar to outfits in his and Aria's closet.

He sighed and picked up a chair. He then started going through all the books. "Maybe uhg…. maybe it's a design on may 2…" He thought reaching for the book in the end of the last shelf. He put his feet in tip toes and he arched his back trying his best to reach it. His little hands would touch the end of the book but his strength wasn't eanough to bring the book down.

"Agh…"

BANG

The book he was reaching for and a few others fell on the floor. One of them hit his heand and he jumped down on the ground holding his forehead in pain.

He looked at the open albun on the floor with photos of his mother and….

He froze.

"I-I did it!"

When he heard footsteps coming he quickly closed the albun and placed a book above it.

He then pretended to start cleaning up.

"James? Are you okay?" Crysty walked inside worridly.

"Don't worry aunt I have it all covered. Some books fell but I'm going to read them now.

Seeing him sitting on the floor and opening one of the books with Adriana's old designs Crysty smiled.

He looks so cute!

She squealed internally and patted his head. "Then I will go back downstairs. Call me if you need anything. Your mom will video call you in the afternoon." She told him and James nodded.

When she was finally gone he walked towards the door and locked it. He hurridly walked back to the floor and picked up the book.

He turned to the first page and his hands trembled in excitment.

The first picture was his mother sitting in a piano, the next was her kissing a man in the beach. After that, followed a picture of them holding hands, he then found one were they both got matching tattoos. Her mother got a fish behind her ear and the man in his chest.

He gulped when he saw the mans face. He looked just like that man. He was convinced that man in the photos was his father. He was shocked when he realized who that is.

"Mommy knew all along…." He mumbled.

He felt envious of his sister. She unknowingly spent an amazing time with their biological father but here he is stuck on his own.

He bit his lip and continued flipping through the pages. "Mommy and dad were married?" He frowned when he saw the wedding picture.

His mother looked happy and she was wearing a beautiful white dress. His father lifted her up in the air. The next picture was then in a cabin in the forest during winter, sharing a hot drink.

Everytime he flipped through a new page his little heart would feel a pang.

His mom was happy once….

But what about now? Did dad do something bad to her? Is that why she never talks about him?

The questions came in one after the other and his curiosity was definitely not satisfied. He wanted to know more but most importantly he wanted to see his mother and ask her. He also wanted to see the father he has longed for.

A lone tear fell from his eye when he reached the end of the book.

Why was dad not in the pictures of mommy's pregnant belly? Did he leave them? Did he abadom mommy and them? Why?

Synopsis: 

"You did well, I'm proud of you."

"Thank you." She smiled.

A few seconds went by with pure silence between them, contrasting the loud clapping and cheering from the crowd behind them.

She looked towards the stage and then back at him, who was yet to remove his eyes from her lips.

"Are we having a staring contest? Or are you going to kiss me? Make your decision quickly or I will do it for you."

The next day:

Noah Preston and the famous designer Justine found kissing behind the stage!

Noah Preston's response to the scandal: "I was just congratulating her, why the big fuss?"

A user's response: "Do you congratulate everyone by kissing their lips?"

Justine's response: "I don't know him."

.....

Seven years ago they divorced because of some misunderstanding between them and a lovely b*tch that wanted to ruin her life. 

She was naive but she was far from innocent. 

 Seven years later she's not here to take 'no' for an answer. She has come back as a single mother of two and with a thirst for revenge. 

All the suffering that some scheming b*tch gave her will be paid back 100 times more with an extra dose of pain. 

As cliche, as it may sound the hidden mystery of the past, will change all of what both Adriana and Noah expected. The sudden twist to this story might affect them for the best or the worst but this time they are determined to never separate again.

 "This time I will never let go of you, Adriana. Don't even think about escaping!" 

Wrapping her fingers around his tie nicely she pulled him forward and smirked

 "Don't ever think about leaving me! Noah Preston, you are mine and I will stick to you like glue if I have to!"
