“So how are you feeling? Star asked as he settled on the chair beside Peace’s bed
Others are out for dinner but not without promising to bring their own
“Better” she replied with a smile
“Thanks for saving me Peace” he said after moment of silence
“It’s nothing, what are friends for? She replied with a smile
Hearing the word “friend” , his mind drifted off to his conversation with Ethan about Peace’s feelings for him
“Peace I have something_
” Can you love me? Peace cut in before he could finish his words
“What? He asked slowly in surprise
“If I say I have feelings for you, can you reciprocate it? Don’t ask me how I fell for you cos I don’t know how I did as well
Star stared at her for sometime before letting out a sigh
“Peace,I really wish I could_
“Just a Yes or no Star” she cut in again
“No, because my heart belongs to someone else” he replied and her heart fell
“Am sorry”he said seeing how sad she looks
” No, it’s nothing” love can’t be forced and don’t worry, I’ll find a way to convince my parents in cancelling our betrothal” she said forcing out a smile
“Really? He asked happily and she nodded bitting her lower lips stopping the tears that are about to leave her eyes
“Thank you Peace, Thank you” he said hugging her unexpectedly and she gasp
Part of her was happy that he is hugging her which is the first time and another part was sad that he won’t reciprocate her feelings because his heart belongs to someone else but nevertheless she hugged him back

She came out of her car after parking it at the lot.
She adjusted her small bag before walking inside
To her surprised she met Aidan waiting for her at the living
“You are back? She said with a smile
He was on business trip for few days
“Yes,are you shocked to see me? He asked moving closer to
” Why should I be shocked? It’s not like this is the first time you are on business trip” she replied as he was now standing at her front
” Where we you coming back from? He asked and she raised her brow
“And when did you start questioning my whereabouts? She replied
“You wh*re!! He shouted and landed a slap directly on her face
Becky gasped in shock holding her cheek
“You just raise your hand at me Aidan? She said in surprise
Though they do argued but he had never raised his hand on her for once not until now
“Yes and I would do that one more time!! He shouted
“You are whoring around and you still had the gut to attack Victoria at her house” he shouted and she chuckled sadly after realizing the reason why he had slapped her
“So it’s because of her? You slapped me because of your mistress!!
“First you dare had an affair with her and it doesn’t end with that,you got her pregnant and you had the gut to register her son in the same school with Star? And now you raise your hand on me because of her??? She shouted and Aidan was quiet
He was surprised that she knew that Wesley is attending Star’s school
“I guess you are taking my silence for granted, she said with a scoff before moving dangerously closer to him
“Aidan Geneva, this is your last warning, never raised your Fuçkin hand on me again cos I won’t hesitate to remove my 80% Shares from Geneva’s empire and you know what it means” you will be left with nothing” she warned coldly and gave him a hard glare before walking away

Roselia step out of the class with a sullen expression
Today’s lecture was boring as hell and The Royals absence made it more boring
Though She had already received a message from Star that their manager called for a meeting suddenly and he will be absence in school together with the rest of The Royals.
“I miss him” she thought almost pouting
If only she had a female friend to talk with but too bad, she h@tës all the female in the class except Three
Just as she was about to step into the Cafeteria,a hand pulled her to an empty class beside the cafeteria.
“What the_
She stop her words as she saw who it was
It’s Henry
She snatch her hand away angrily from his hold
“How dare you pull me here with my permission? She glared at him
Henry ignored her question and pull her into hug
“The hell” she cursed in anger trying to free herself but it was impossible as Henry was more stronger
“Let me go right now” she tried to wiggle out of his tight hold
“I missed your warmth” Henry muttered to her anger
” Get off me” she shouted as she was finally able to pull away from him
Without wasting time, she blessed his face with a loud slap
“How dare you?? She shouted at Henry’s who was still holding his face in shock
“Roselia” he muttered in shock
“Don’t you get it? Am done with you! What is so hard for you to understand!!! She shouted breathing heavily
“Henry please forget about me, forget about anything we had in past and let me be,am begging” she added and turn to leave
His next question stop her from moving
“Why? Henry asked slowly and she turns back to him
” Why did you make me fall in love with you when you know your feelings for me are all lies!! He shouted as he finally let out his tears
Seeing his tears right now made her more guilty than she was feeling before
“Am sorry” she muttered with guilt
” Am sorry for being selfish,I was only tired of being irrelevant in school and I want to know how it feels to be the school Queen! Am really sorry for hurting your feelings” she added at the brim of tears and
” Did you know your selfishness made me lose someone who loves dearly, foolish me thought you really love me and I watch you humiliated Peace without doing anything to help her,
“I watched you strip the poor girl almost naked, instead of stopping you, I didn’t so I won’t get on your bad side” he added with a sad chuckle
“I never intended to do that to her but that day was the exact date I lost my dad and that was why I took my anger on her” am sorry” she confessed as a tear drop from her eyes
“I guess this is my punishment for breaking Peace’s heart as well” he said smiling out tears
” Fine, I’ll forget you just like you want but I’ll never forgive you for playing with my heart” he said and left
Immediately he left, Roselia bend down and burst into tears
” Am truly a bîtch! I hurt him so much” she cried out
Unknown to her, Vera was at the door recording their conversation but she left as she saw Henry coming out
She had recorded every conversation of them since Henry forgot to close the door very well
A sinister smile left her lips as she stared at the video
“I guess this is my chance of getting rid of you Roselia” she muttered
“I can’t bear to see you with my Star,I thought Peace is an obstacle in getting Star but I was wrong, you are the real problem and I can’t help but to h@të you than I h@të Peace
“This video is enough to show your true colors to the whole school but first I need to find out the Peace you both were talking about and I hope it’s not what am thinking
“And if it is what am thinking,I guess I’ll be killing Two birds with a stone” she smiled mischievously.
