“Dee-Vyn Serge Valderama,” he heard his name being called.
Dee-vyn looked at his younger brother but sighed as Dee-Lan, his younger brother shrugged, which means his father has not arrived yet. Their father went to attend the graduation of their youngest, and the only girl among them, Dee-Anne Sage, whom they fondly called Dessa. Since the schedule of their graduation was on the same day, the family agreed that their father will attend first Dessa’s graduation in the morning and then the two will catch with Dee-Lan and Dee-Vyn at Dee-Vyn’s graduation in the afternoon.
However, Dee-Vyn’s graduation program is almost to end but his father and sister have not arrived yet. With heavy heart, Vyn
“Congratulations to us, man,” Cairo tapped his shoulder but noticed that Vyn is still looking at the entrance of the hall so he asked, “they are still not here?”
“Yeah,” Vyn answered, “I wondered what took them long. How about you? Where are your parents?”
“My parents?” Cairo laughed sarcastically, “as usual, they were both at the graduation of their princess.”
“Chyler’s elementary graduation is also today?” Vyn looked at his friend.
“Yeah,” Cairo nodded and then he continued, “did you know that Chyler has a huge crush on you?”
Vyn simply chuckled so Cairo spoke again, “I don’t mind if she’ll end up being with you. Just make sure that she finish college first.”
“Whoa! What are you talking about?” Vyn laughed, “Chyler is only twelve. She is too young for me.”
“Hey, even if my sister is a spoiled brat, I still love her. So if she wants you, I have nothing against it. Besides, I know that you will be able to take care of her,” Cairo said.
“You’re crazy!” Vyn continued to laugh, “but seriously, man. Chyler is only twelve so it is possible that she will change her mind as soon as she meets men of her age.”
“My sister is different,” Cairo uttered, “she intelligent and very goal-oriented. She even graduated as their class valedictorian. So your promise to her, the one when you said you’ll court her when she reaches eighteen, she will not forget about it.”
“Yeah,” Vyn nodded, “but let’s wait when that happens.”
“Vyn!” Dee-Lan panicked.
“You’re brother is here,” Cairo said, “I’ll see you later.”
“Vyn, dad and Dessa had an accident,” Dee-Lan told him.
“What?” he immediately got worried, “where are they now? Are they okay?”
“I don’t know the details but it was the hospital that called me,” Dee-Lan answered.
“Let’s go and check them,” Vyn said and both brothers headed to the car.

“Make sure that they are dead!” the leader told his men.
Without question, the men checked the car.
Bang! Bang! – one shot each for the wife and her husband.
“Godfather, how about the girl?” one man asked.
“Don’t hurt her,” the leader replied, “take her and bring her to my car.”
“But she might recognize us,” one of the men said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of that,” Godfather answered so the men did as they were told.
They took the girl to their private, where the girl was treated and was put to sleep. Godfather made sure that girl was given utmost care. He stayed next to her until she woke up after three days.
“W-where am I?” the girl asked when she woke up.
“You had an accident, child,” Godfather explained.
“Ch-child?” the girl seemed troubled, “are you my father?”
Godfather met the eyes of the doctor and then said, “have a rest first. I’ll speak with your doctor first.”
“Tell me that she has an amnesia,” Godfather told the doctor.
“I can’t say for now,” the doctor answered, “it is possible that she had trauma which may lead to amnesia but it is also possible that she only had a short term memory loss. If it is the latter, then her memories will return in a few days.”
“I want her to believe that I am her father,” Godfather demanded, “do something to prevent her memory from coming back.”
“We can do hypnotic therapy for that,” the doctor suggested.
“Do that and try giving her blue pills,” Godfather commanded and then looked at his men, “bring Daegan here.”
It didn’t take long for his men to bring in Daegan. As soon as Godfather saw Daegan, he immediately lead him to the room. The girl was already drinking the blue pill when they arrived.
“How are you, child?” Godfather asked the girl.
“I-I think I am fine,” the girl stuttered as she met eyes with a young man behind Godfather. She then asked, “is he my brother?”
“No,” Godfather answered, “the two of you are betrothed to get married.”
“Daegan,” Godfather turned to the young man, “this is Semira Ernestine. She will be your mate from now on. The two of you will soon rule over my kingdom.”
Semira and Daegan stayed quiet so Godfather continued speaking, “the two of you will train together. You will make sure the vision of our group will be realized. In time, you will lead the group so as early as now, you must get used to being with each other. Don’t trust anyone but me and each other.”
