MAXIM’S MANSION>
Nathan has been laying sleeplessly on his bed since he returned to his room.
He couldn’t sleep, all he could think of with his head is Princess.
He sat up on the bed and hugged the pillow, imagining it as her.
“That motherf*cker Miguel, I’m gonna kill him the next time he interrupts me” he said h@tëfully, then he remembered Spencer.
” And his senior brother is dreaming of marrying my senior sis?, What a joke” he muttered.
” I know it’s stupid but i prefer Fernando the billionaire to him” he said, getting down from his bed.
” Will princess be asleep already?” He asked himself, and his phone rang on the bed.
He went for it, and a big smile occupied his face when he saw it’s big brother Jayden.
“Big brother!” He said loudly.
“Nathan, mum isn’t beside you, right?” Jayden asked.
“She’s in her room and I’m in mine” Nathan replied.
” Oh cool, I don’t want her troubles”
“As if you can ever escape it, when are you coming home? ” Nathan smiled.
” Soon, but not now, my baby sisters are taking care of the company so why should I? ” Jayden replied.
” Wh@tëver, so how’s life over there?, Did you find a babe already?, Sister Luxury or Deluxe mustn’t get married before you” Nathan said.
” Baby! the omelette is ready! ” A female voice said from the background, and Nathan gasped.
” OMG big brother!, That’s your girlfriend!, I’m so sure! ”
” Of course, I need to go now, chat you later! ”
Jayden hung up, and Nathan fell on the bed.
” I want a babe too, Princess” he hugged the pillow again.

He drank from the freezer and was returning upstairs when he started perceiving the smell of cigarettes in the air.
He stopped and entered the kitchen, but Margaux is not there.
He entered the study and met her there, smoking like there’s no tommorow.
“Mum” he muttered, and she quickly put it off before standing.
“I was only trying to…
” To do what exactly!, Do you want to have cancer?, Huh!, Why must you drink and why must you smoke!, And no matter how much I talk, you always do what you like!, Why!” He yelled at her.
” Miguel….
“I’m calling Spencer right now, he needs to come and see this” he said and rushed out, but Margaux rushed after him and blocked his way.
“No Miguel, anyone else but Spencer, I promised him not to do it again, he’d be so disappointed” she replied.
” I’m disappointed too” he said and pushed her out of the way.
He went back to his room and sat on the bed, placing his palms on his face.
“Princess’s thoughts won’t let me sleep, and now this?, Füçk”

Fernando’s face was squeezed as he dreamt about the past. He was sweating as everything replayed in his head in form of a dream.
He was actually in the summer camp trip with Spencer that day… Sixteen years ago.
He was in same class with Spencer, they’re actually childhood friends.

After setting their tents, Spencer left to use the restroom, and he started strolling around, waiting for him to come back.
“Hey Fern!” Megan said behind him, and he looked back with a disgusting smirk.
Megan likes him, and everyone in the school knows, but he h@tës girls generally, especially her.
“Get lost” he said and started walking away.
“We’ll get married in the future!, I promise you! ‘ Megan shouted, and he looked at her again.
“Keep dreaming” he said and walked away, that was when Spencer came back.
” You took long, and why are you wet?” He asked.
” I fell into the pool” Spencer replied, and his eyes widened.
” You can’t swim!, How could you make such mistake”
“I’m glad I fell though, a pretty girl saved me” Spencer smiled.
” You’re a pervert, I knew it” Fernando replied, and they both laughed.
“By the way, haven’t you always been curious about how to ride a car?” Spencer suddenly asked, and Fernando smirked.
“You know I’m always curious” Fernando replied, looking at the car that was parked in front of the building.
“That’s Mr Klein’s car” Spencer said.
Mr Klein is one of their teachers, a chaperone in the trip.
“I’ll go get the keys without his knowledge” Fernando replied and rushed in.
Three minutes later, he came out with the keys.
“You should add thief to your future ambitions” Spencer laughed.
” I only took it, I didn’t steal” Fernando replied as they got in the car.
They did it like they’ve always saw their dads doing it, but the result wasn’t pleasant.
Immediately the car moved, it hit a girl who was hiding in front of the car.
Their eyes widened as they looked at each other.
“Let’s escape!” Spencer said and rushed out of the car first.
He ran away, leaving Fernando and the dying girl.
Fernando was shaking so much as he rushed out of the car too, but someone covered his nose from behind.
Blackout.
“No!, No!, Don’t take me!, No!!!” He screamed as he woke up to life.
He was sweating and shaking so much, then he started crying.
Luxury woke up and sat up.
“Fernando!, Fernando what’s wrong?” She asked, holding his teary face.
” I swear I didn’t do it intentionally, it was a mistake, it was…a mistake” he cried like a kid, leaving Luxury confused.
” What mistake?” She asked, wiping his tears, but new ones fell immediately.
” I didn’t do it intentionally I swear, I didn’t…I…I…
Luxury hugged him tightly, cutting off the stutter.
“It’s just a dream ok?, Just a dream” she said, patting his back slowly.
” I’m scared” he whispered shakily, and she started stroking his hair gently.
“Close your eyes Nando, close your eyes and hug me back, you’ll be fine” she whispered back, still stroking his hair.
Fernando closed his eyes slowly, then he hugged her back so tight.
He started calming down slowly, and she tightened the hug.
“Don’t leave me, please” he whispered softly.
“I won’t, I promise” she replied, and he smiled before sleeping off on her shoulder.
Luxury could feel her rapid heartbeats as she held him like that…
“I got caught in my game” she muttered.
