Liah’s POV
Xian visited Maya but I didn’t come along because I’m not yet ready to see her.
It still hurts so bad.
Just the thought of her gone makes me shed tears.
I will just divert attention on my transfer to Corbel University to ease the pain somehow.
That is the school where everything happened.
Where Maiandra chose to study peacefully until she graduates but fate didn’t side with her, unfortunately.
I already gathered a lot of information that I needed from the school to those people during my vacant times.
It turns out their families own some of the biggest companies in Asia. That’s why they act so high.
Many people also look up and scared of them in the university. I think that’ll be better and easier for me because the higher their places are, the deeper the depth of their downfall is.
When I told Xian about my plan, he was worried for me so he told me that he’d transfer schools.
He already talked to his parents and it was a bit hard for them to let him transfer schools but they eventually agreed when Xian told them that he wants to keep an eye on me after what happened to Maiandra.
I told them not to worry on me but to worry for those people instead.
He tried to convince me numerous times to not do it because I might get hurt but he can’t change my mind anymore.
No matter what, I must continue my plan and make them pay for what they did.
“Liah” Xian called my name on the other side of the door before entering.
After coming into my room, he sat beside me in my bed and held my hand. I know what he is about to say so just rolled my eyes at him.
“Liah, maybe you can recon—”
“Mr. Xian Verdana” I cut him before he completes his sentence.
“I already made up my mind, so please stop trying to change my decision. You are just wasting your energy and time. I want this to be the last time you try to stop me because I won’t be convinced.” I have to make him stop convincing me because to be honest, I, myself doubt all the plans that I made.
I just lie to them that their reminders don’t bother me anymore.
Besides, I already started doing some researches about them. I already started it, so I must finish it.
“Alright! You win. I won’t bother you anymore. Just promise me one thing Liah. Make sure that you made the right decision.” He said, giving up as he stood up from the bed and pat my shoulder.
“The food is ready. Come out shortly, okay?” I nodded my head as a reply.
Not long after, I followed him to the dining area.
He is right.
I wish I made the right decision.
-------
After weeks of waiting and preparation for school, I am finally attending my new school, Corbel University.
I woke up early and did my morning routine.
On the process, I really have a lot in my mind.
Will I be able to stop myself from anger when I finally see them face to face
I’m not sure because just by looking at their pictures, I feel like I want to throw my hands at them already.
Pretty aggressive, right?
Xian also told me that we don’t need to pretend that we don’t know each other anymore but I won’t risk it because those people might have seen him together with Maiandra.
And if ever they ask him if he knows her, I told him to tell them that they are just neighbors and haven’t heard of her a long time ago.
Plus, if they know that Xian is my friend, they will automatically think that I know Maiandra.
If that happened, not only will my plan become a failure, either one of me and Xian, or even the both of us might be their next target.
It’s not that I fear them but being their enemy isn’t really my goal.
My goal is for me to gain their trust.
After gaining their trust, I will destroy them one by one and drag them to hell just like what they did to Maya.
When I arrived at the school, I went to the office to get my schedule.
While working on my transfer in here, I also worked on Maiandra’s issues in this school.
I also asked them to exchange lockers with Maya. They also didn’t question it because I got all of her papers and the key to her locker.
If I used her locker, it might be easier for me to get those people’s attention.
I went to my locker and put my things in there.
I already cleared up the locker when I was working on my transfer in here.
While putting my things inside the locker, I heard a voice calling her name.
“Maiandra!” It is a man’s voice.
My lips formed a little smirk, knowing exactly who that voice belongs to.
He went near me and held my shoulder so I turned myself around and acted like an innocent dumbfounded girl who's confused as to why I was called a different name.
When I saw his face, who would have thought that such a handsome face would be a devil?
He has this jet-black hair, sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, pointed nose, thin lips, and a pointed jaw. It is a face that emits a sexy aura. He's like a sculpted perfection.
It’s him.
Jaxtyn Sheats.
“What are you doing in this locker?” he asked as he furrow his eyebrows in confusion.
“I’m sorry? Uhm. This is my locker. It is the assigned locker to me.” I replied, still acting innocent. I was expecting him to say more but he didn’t.
“Oh! I’m sorry. I thought you were someone I know.”
Huh!
Maybe someone you killed.
“Ah. It’s alright. I’m just new here so I don’t know much about the school and the people around here.” I said as I smile sweetly.
He then smiled back at me then turned around to leave.
But why does he look like he is disappointed that he did not see Maiandra?
Hmph! Never mind. I'll just go to class. Stop overthinking Liah!
---
Inhale.
Exhale.
I’m feeling a bit nervous right now but that’s okay. I can do this.
I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself while waiting for the professor to let me inside the room.
When I heard her call my name, I prepared myself and walked inside the class elegantly confident.
From this day onwards, I know that my life will drastically change from what it was before and I know I can get through this and I know that I can finish what I started.
“Hello everyone! My name is Liah Castro, 20 years old. Nice to meet you all and please take care of me!”….
