*******************

No one knew that Lise returned home except for her mother, therefore when Trisha saw Sol having an argument with her mother and he said that he knew Lise was at home, Trisha came to check on her stepsister.

Lise had indeed returned home.

It was a rare occasion for her to be home without Gael beside her, as it was no longer a secret that the man had fallen head over heels for her. He was overprotective and obsessed with Lise.

Sometimes, it was nice to have someone who only had you in their eyes, yet when it came to Gael and how he had changed Lise, it was scary...

There was something in that man, which made anyone who saw him shiver in fear, though he had quite an easy going personality if he did not put his whole attention on Lise.

“Sol is downstairs, mother didn’t allow him to enter the room, but he insists on meeting you,” Trisha told Lise. “Do you want to see him?”

.....

Lise muffled her sobs and hiccupped when she put down her hands that covered her face. Her eyes were very red, just like her face.

“Sol?” Lise said his name between her sobs, her heart beat so fast as she could feel the longing that coursed through her veins. She missed him so badly...

“Yes, he is downstairs,” Trisha said and watched as Lise jumped off the bed and ran toward the door. She heard the door being closed, as well as her haste footsteps that followed behind.

Sol and Lise were very close, they were childhood best friends, they met when they were seven or eight years old and had been inseparable ever since.

Two years ago, Sol had gone abroad to study and not long after that, the dispute in the company made their father have a huge debt to Gael Mckeltar, which forced their father to not have any other choice, but to give what that crazy man wanted. Lise.

He wanted Lise.

===================

Lise ran down two steps at a time as she perked up her ears at the argumentation between Issabel and Sol. They went along pretty well in the past, but now, it seemed her stepmother loved Gael more...

It was pretty sick to learn the reason why the woman defended the abuser. She inclined toward the one with money, of course.

“Sol,” Lise breathed his name when she arrived at the door, they were having argumentation on the terrace, with Sol’s back facing her.

The man was startled and stopped talking once he heard his name being called and the moment he turned around, Lise could feel her chest caved in.

This was the man that she was familiar with, someone that could make her feel safe whenever she was with him...

His curly hair needed to be trimmed and his skin was more tan than the last time they met, which was two years ago. His brown eyes stared at her and she could easily see the concern in his eyes.

And what else...

Lise was trying to find another thing that was familiar to her, that could give her comfort, but a second later, she was already in Sol’s embrace, wrapped tightly in his strong arms.

“Lise...” he called her softly, with longing palpable in his voice. “You don’t pick up my calls...”

And then a wave of sadness crushed her.

“I miss you, Sol...”

“I know, I miss you too...”

===================

Blue stared at the white clouds that were floating lazily in the blue sky. She was bored and didn’t want to hear the two men talking to her, asking her to behave herself or to act like a girl. A sweet girl.

She had told them that the boy named Eric had bad-mouthed her, yet they kept telling her that she mustn’t beat him.

Well... Blue would definitely beat him again if he kept saying those bad words to her, no matter what they said.

“Blue, your father is here,” Mr. Giligan told her, but she already knew. She could smell his scent even when he was still in the corridor.

Blue straightened her back and turned around to find Knox standing in the doorway before making a grandiose entrance into the principal’s office.

The little girl was curious, how those men could make their presence very strong, though they said nothing at all.

“Daddy,” Blue called Knox and she liked how he pretended that he didn’t hear that word.

The corner of Knox’s lips twitched when Blue acted like an innocent little child. Nothing about her was innocent when she was Chaos’ favorite.

“Mr. McKeltar,” the principal addressed him formally and they shook hands.

Knox sat down beside Blue, while the two of them were facing the principal, but for some reason, the principal felt intimidated by the attention that he received from the man.

He cleared his throat before he spoke, “This is already the third time in this week that Blue fought with her fellow students...”

And he told him about Blue’s inclination to solve the problem with her small fists instead of dealing with the matter in a peaceful way.

More or less, that was how Knox grasped the situation that the principal told him about.

Knox wanted to say that those kids should be grateful that this little brat used her small fists instead of her claws, or else they would be in a casket now.

“Is that true that you hit them?” Knox asked Blue, but both of them knew that this conversation was just a pretense, since their intentions lay in another thing.

“Yes, because they told me that I am an illegitimate child,” Blue replied.

Knox nodded once and stood up, he tidied up his clothes and spoke clearly. “My daughter,” he winced at the words, it sounded very wrong in his eyes. “Only reacted because she was being insulted, that was defamation. They can talk to my lawyer.”
