BAB 1
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 nodded. "Use a mask when you go outside."
That was his last reminder before he left my presence. Today is my first day in school. All my life I've been homeschooled for safety purposes.
Many people hunt me down because of what I did to kill my own father, I just killed the highest person in the underworld organization and they are hunting me to shut me down. And to make me the heiress of that organization.
But Grandpa Santino won't agree to that, Saint's father. Grandpa Santi is my Dad's friend. And Dad asked Grandpa Santi to never give me up to the mafia bosses. And he agreed even though he belonged to them.
Grandpa Santi guaranteed everything was going to be alright. That I'll have a normal life just what my Daddy wanted.
"Klea! We're getting late. Hurry up!"
I grabbed my things and immediately followed Saint who was waiting for me and leaning on his car.
He's not going to use his Porsche? And he's going to settle for a low-quality car? A Chevrolet.
"Just to keep you safe we need to lay down at school. We can't be a show off to everybody. Everyone will suspect." I nodded and entered the shotgun seat.
He started the engine and maneuvered to the school.
While in the car, I couldn't help but think that maybe it wouldn't be bad if I had a friend, right? Saint will have friends too right? He's a catch.
He's handsome. Smart. Talented. I think he can do it all and it is not unlikely that he will make many friends here.
"If you're thinking about having friends. No." I immediately looked at Saint because he suddenly spoke.
He fixed the eyepatch he was wearing and looked at me with his brown eyes.
"Don't call me by my name. I have a new identity too, I'm Rozen Alcantara from now on. Do you get it?" He asked and I nodded.
I got out of his car first and entered the school first. A lot of people are staring at me now because I'm a new student.
'I heard she comes from a Chinese family..!
'She's white...
'Bro she's beautiful! Let's go.
I heard whispers from people around me. But that stopped immediately for reasons unknown to me.
I turned around at the gate and I could clearly see how Saint simply walked and was also looking at me. He motioned me to walk so I immediately did.
A few hours passed and I was very thankful that no one tried to approach and talk to me.
It's lunchtime and I don't know where to go. So after I bought food, I went straight to the classroom and ate there.
But I was very surprised when suddenly someone entered our classroom and I looked at him. It's my seatmate, sitting behind me.
What is its name again? Ah! Psalm correct.
"Hi Danica, why are you eating alone?" He suddenly asked me and smiled while walking towards me.
Suddenly what Saint said came to my mind. 'No making friends. But he's not here, right? Maybe it's okay
"Ah, I don't know anyone here..." I answered shyly, this was the first time I talked to someone outside of Saint's mansion.
"Well, I'm Psalm Axel Sudalga. And you're Danica Sy, now you know someone." He said with a smile.
This guy has a bright aura, I can tell. His curly hair and bright round eyes tell that he's a bright and jolly person. I love meeting this kind of people.
All my life I've been surrounded by negativity.
"Ah, thank you for talking to me. I appreciate it." I said with a smile
He nodded at me and smiled again. He's cute.
I was surprised when he suddenly took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of my lips.
"Sorry, it has ketchup." He said with a smile.
I just shook my head and continued eating.
At least I made a friend today.
When we got home, Saint was speechless. He just went straight inside his mansion. But he immediately stopped as if he saw something he didn't expect.
"Sister?" I immediately smiled. Sister Mary is back! I missed her so much.
I immediately ran into the house and saw him smiling and waiting for me. I immediately greeted him with a hug.
"How are you doing? Sat?" Sister Mary asked me with a smile.
I noticed Saint going up to his room so I smiled.
"I made a friend today!" I exclaimed silently because Saint might hear.
"Really? Is it a she or he?" He asked with a smile while combing my long hair.
"A he. Sister Mary, actually he's cute and I like him as a friend because his aura is bright!" I said smiling. I told Sister Mary how she introduced herself to me earlier.
And she was smiling at me. "My baby girl has a crush." She was teasing.
"No Sister Mary, I just like him as a friend. He's a good friend Kasi." I said smiling.
"Really? Why are your eyes blinking while you're talking?" I immediately covered my eyes and Ate Mary just laughed at me
"It's normal, Sab. You're twenty. It's normal to like someone." I nodded, Ate Mary was right.
Of the two of Saint, I really like Ate Mary more because she's smart. While Saint is always rude to me. As in, always.
"But Saint might get angry if he finds out, so I should probably end it," I said sadly.
"Why would he be?" Ate Mary asked confused.
"Because he said I shouldn't talk to anyone. And I shouldn't make friends unless he agrees." I said and scratched the back of my neck.
"Oh c'mon. You two are already in college. Just don't mind him okay? He's just being a lunatic and overprotective. He's like his brother too." I just nodded. Right. Saint is just protecting me
"Besides, he won't know if no one tells, right?" Sister Mary asked and winked at me. I smiled at her widely.
"Thank you, Sister Mary!" I said and hugged her.
Sister Mary brought me a cellphone from the US. It's my first one because Saint never gave me one because people who want to take it might trace me.
But now I have it! I am so happy. Sister Mary helped me create an instant account, it's a social media. And because I can't use my real name. I used Danica.sy as my username.
Sister Mary even helped me take a photo and made me beautiful. Some of my classmates followed me, most of them were my schoolmates who even Psalm followed me. I smiled and I followed him back. And after that, he dm me immediately.
psalm.axe: Wow. Do you have social media now? You said earlier that it's not allowed because your parents are strict.
I smiled and replied.
