Beyond his Love

Prologue

“How many times do I have to tell you? Don’t you dare leave your room whenever Liliana is here” He said while holding my cheeks with a strong force. I closed my eyes when I saw him lift his right hand in the air. I was waiting for his palm to touch my face but I didn’t feel anything but instead, I felt my body being thrown on the bed. I guess my nightmares would start again. He starts kissing my neck down to my breast, since I am only wearing a bathrobe his hand quickly travels around my body. I felt his hand reach my genital area and inserted two fingers. I tried my best not to form any sounds in my mouth because that’s what he wants. He doesn’t want to hear my voice. My cries. My side. I am not allowed to talk or even utter something. I heard his zipper, then he groaned when he inserted his d**k on mine, he started thrusting like someone was chasing him. I cover my mouth and stare at the ceiling of my room. A tear escaped from my eyes. This is my fate; this is my punishment for wanting him so bad. I deserved this.

“Estelle is it true that you’re going to transfer again?” one of my classmates asked and I nod.

“Why? I thought you will settle here?” I just put my things inside of my bag and faced them.

“You don’t have to worry girls; Just message me in my social media account if you want something, I will buy it and send it to all of you,” I said and smiled at them.

I am Estelle Illinova, seventeen years old and a senior high school student, the only daughter of the world-famous IT Company in Russia, and also my two older brothers are here in California, but they have their mansion and I am living with my maids and personal bodyguards. Since I was young our parents have always been busy with their companies. Yes, their companies I am not sure how many companies they’ve owned now and I don’t want to know it either. This is our fourth time transferring to another school. I tried to ask my brothers about it but they always ignored my questions. I was only seven years old when we left our own country and I didn’t have any memories there.

“You’re the best Estelle.” I heard one of the girls say,

“Let’s go, I'll treat you all to dinner for tonight,” I said and turned my back on them. A smirk plastered on my face. That’s all they wanted from me, money, not friendship and I am willing to give it to them, so I can have so-called friends. 

“Good evening Mr. Kendrick.” I greeted my driver as soon as we arrived in the parking area of our school.

“Good evening Young Lady.” he greeted back and looked behind me.

“Do you know a fancy restaurant?” I asked him and he answered yes then led us to my car.

“I really can’t believe that you’re the daughter of Illinova’s,” Samantha said and I shifted my gaze to her. I saw Jewel pinched Samantha in her back, then Samantha came back to her senses.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong Estelle, I know that you have a very unique fashion style. I mean you do know what you’re wearing, no- I mean—”.

“You don’t have to explain, I did understand what you mean.” I smiled sadly.

“I do have a bad taste in fashion.”

“Why don’t you hire a personal fashion designer?” Jewel asked

“I don’t want to,” I answered her back.

“We’re here. Let’s go inside, I’m famish due to Mr. Hans lecture.” I said and got off to my car.

“Thank you, Estelle. I wish you luck for tomorrow.” They said and bid goodbye. I closed my eyes and whispered, “Those rats, tell me Kendrick do I need to shower them with gifts again?” I asked my driver.

“In my point of view, Young Lady, Yes. To keep them by your side.” He said with a stoic face. I sighed. 

“I don’t need them anymore. Do your job again, and send them a proper gift.” I said and looked at the car that passed by us.

“We should make her up or else she will be late.”

“Then wake her up. I don’t want to lose my job.”

“Me either.”

I woke up because of these beggars, they can’t even do their job properly. I grabbed my pillow and threw it to them.

“Young Lady, we apologize but you need to prepare yourself for—" I made a ‘shh’ gesture and slowly got up. I saw them bow their heads, I walked to where my bathroom is but before I entered, I looked at them. Pathetic.

“You’re fired.” And shut the bathroom door.

I heard their cries, how noisy. I was enjoying my bath when I heard my Kendrick voice outside. I grabbed a towel and dried myself before I wore my bathrobe.

“What is it?” I asked him as soon as I got out of my bathroom.

“Good Morning Young Lady. Your brother is calling.” He said and handed me the phone.

“Hello, Estelle. Are you there?” I heard Erkan’s voice, my very supportive brother.

“Yeah.” 

“Wow, it’s good you answered it, though it’s Kendrick who’s answered it. Well, I just want to wish you luck in your new school. I know that you’re probably wondering again why you need to move to another school and since you are very fond of me, I’d decided to let you know the reason. Do skorogo.”  He said and ended the call, my lips formed a smile, and looked at Kendrick. (see you soon.)

“Did you hear that Kendrick? At last, I will know their reason.” I said and jumped to my bed.

“Congratulations Molodaya Ledi, but you need to get dressed if you don’t want to be late on your first day.” He said. (Young Lady)

I went to my walk-in closet but my brows creased when I saw that all of my clothes were gone. I heard Kendrick's footsteps and “Your brother wants you to stop wearing those clothes and said that act like a grown woman since you will celebrate your birthday within three months.”

“But I am comfortable wearing them, besides that the only thing that I am free to do,” I yelled.

“I do apologize, but that's what your brother wanted.” He said and bowed his head.

“So, they also decided to put a leash on my neck again,” I said. “Bring them again, if you don’t want me to get mad in you also.”

“I apologize but I can’t.” 

“I see,” I said and closed the door. I hate them, I hate all of them then I start to remove all of my new clothes in my cabinets. When I saw my cabinets are empty, I wore my uniform and left my room. 

“We’re here, I need to escort you to your room.” I didn’t answer him and just wore my earplugs. I saw him sighed before he got out of the car to open the door beside me. As soon as I entered the gate of my new school the student looked at me, this time I didn’t bother to smile to make friends or what. I don’t need a friend, I will make sure to not satisfy my family, I will start to get on their nerves like they also do to me. So, what if I am a daughter of Illinova? So, what if I don’t make friends? Even if I did, it’s because of my money. So, I’ve made up my mind, I will do whatever I want from now on.

We stopped in front of a room and he opened the door for me. I made my way inside, a professor that was writing something on the whiteboard and the students facing seriously on their laptops. I saw Kendrick knock on the wooden wall and he caught their attention. I saw him look at the professor and say something, and the professor faced his students. I didn’t hear what they’ve said since I am wearing my earplugs and I just watch them. I saw their eyes shift to me even the professor, I glared at Kendrick when he removed my earplugs. “What?”.

“Your professor said that you need to introduce yourself.” He said and bowed his head. I looked forward and saw them waiting for me to introduce myself.

“I’m Estelle Illinova, nice to meet you,” I said and faced Kendrick to grab my earplugs.

“What’s your relation to Illinova Technology?” someone asked from the back. I looked at who it was and saw a girl wearing eyeglasses.

“That’s our company,” I answered her. I received a loud gasp from them. I saw my soon to be professor's eyes widen. “Can I sit now?”

“Yeah, sure. You can sit beside Ms. Rao, the one who asked you a question.” He said. I looked at Kendrick and just waited at the parking lot.

“Hi, I’m Mililani Rao, half-Russian and half-Japanese nice to meet you.” She said and grabbed my hand to shake. I took back my hand and glared at her. “Don’t touch me with your dirty hands,” I said and I saw her take something from her bag. It’s a sanitizer. Then she put some on her hands and rubbed it.

“Can I touch you now?” she asked and I was dumbfounded by her actions.

“Do you have any problems Ms. Illinova?” I heard the professor's voice and I shook my head in answer. I slowly place my bag beside me and sit.

“I really can’t believe that my seatmate and soon to be best friend is the daughter of my dream company.” She said and her eyes twinkled while looking at me.

“I want to work and gain experience with your company. I heard from the CEO of Illinova that you also love making new things and you are also into technology.”

“You’re the one who made the iolo application right? But you don’t want to include your name on the list.” I looked at her with my wide eyes.

“How did you know that?” I asked her and she giggled. “My mom is one of the board members in your company that is based in Russia.” 

“You need to keep that in secret.”

“I will. But in one condition.”

“what.”

“From now on, you and I will be friends forever.”

“No way.”

“Then should I post it on my social media platforms?” She said and grabbed her phone beside her laptop.

“Wait. Fine.” I said. She smiled and led her hand for a shake I took and while giving her a weird look. I’ve just said earlier that I will not make any friends here. But I guess I should have at least one and do all Japanese like her?

Since then, we’re always been together. I found out that she doesn’t have any friends here because of the stereotype.

“You know, they thought that all Japanese and Russian are bad. People who have that kind of thinking are dumb.” She said then drink her soda. It’s our free time, the next professor announced that she couldn’t attend our class session and she’s needed in one of the campuses that our school has.

“How about you? You’ve said that you also didn’t make any friends in the school that you last attended.”

“All they want is my money, so I let them have it. Then they started sticking beside me.”

“So, you did have friends.” She said.

“No, as I said they wanted money from me, not friendship,” I said and my eyes automatically looked in the entrance of the cafeteria when a group of boys entered. 

“Who’re them?” I asked Mililani without leaving my gaze at someone. “Who? Ah them? Well, they’re from the college building. I am not sure if they are second- or third-year college. But there’s one thing that I am sure of about them. Did you see that girl beside that man?” she said and pointed at the man who I’m currently looking at.

“That two are lovers, but they keep denying the truth. I forgot their names since I am not interested in them. But I heard they are also from rich families but not like you really from a conglomerate.”

He’s wearing a plain white shirt and jet-black pants and his cut looks so neat on him. His green orbs are very attractive, his nose is pointed as mine and the way his lip forms onto a smile is mesmerizing. I can’t remove my gaze from him. I saw how his Adam’s apple moved up and down, his gloomy face while talking to the girl next to her the way he looked at the woman beside him is like she is the most beautiful human in this world. I was busy looking at him when I felt a cold liquid spill on my back. I saw how Kendrick reacted but I lifted my hand to stop him. I slowly stand up and look who is behind the reason why my back is soaked with cold drinks. I make sure I made a very powerful aura so they can sense if I am mad or not. I saw a girl sitting down on the floor while the girls on the table next to us were laughing at her. I see.

“I'm sorry—” I stopped her by kicking the tray in front of her. Why did my brother is always enrolled in universities like this? I want to go back to Richford Academy where I did finish my study when I was a kid. I slowly removed the blazer of my uniform and dumped it in her head, and I unbutton my sleeves one by one and dumped it too in her head, I hear a different reaction from the students, well my bare body is being exposed, then I felt Kendrick suits in my body then he take my long ashes hair out since it gets soak too.

“Escort this lady outside. I’ll talk to her later.” I whispered in Kendrick's ears. He bowed and started to escort the girl outside. So, I just need to wait for him to come back. I was about to go back in my seat when I heard an irritating laugh. Ah, I almost forget about them. I stand in front of them then start to slap them one by one. I saw how shocked they are.

“What the fu—” I slap one of them again. “I hate when someone curses in front of me. It’s not a very lady act.” I’ve said and grab her by her collar to look for her name.

“Ah, I see. You’re the daughter of Agnes Corp.” I said and slowly released her from my grip.

“You—see! I can make you leave this School.” I laugh loudly at her chosen words. But then I felt a sting pain in my cheek. I stopped and touched where she slapped me. I look around and Kendrick hasn’t come back. Its good no one will stop me. This is a good opportunity for me to ruin my title as a prim and proper daughter of Illinova’s. I smiled at her and to her minions. “If you dare to help her, you’ll suffer too. Okay?” I didn’t get a response from them, so I slowly pointed out the nametag. I saw how their eyes widened in shock, no in fear.

“You must be thankful you’ll be the first one to experience my slap, a slap by the daughter of billionaires,” I said and my smile slowly faded and started to grab her hair. I did make sure that my grip is tight so she can’t escape from my wrath.

“One.” I counted when my palm landed on her face.

“Two.”

“Three.” What? Already crying? But it’s just a three slapped. What a waste, but I am still not satisfied.

“Four.” I saw how her cheeks redden in my fourth slapped. I made her face move to the other side. “Okay, ready yourself I will do your natural blush-on,” I said and lifted my hand in the air but I felt a strong grip on my wrist.

“That’s enough.” I heard a deep voice behind me. I slowly moved my head to see who dared to touch me. I felt my face heat up and I saw how his brows form a crease. But before I make a stupid gesture again, I felt Kendrick's presence beside me. He looked at the guy behind my back and freed my wrist in his touch. Stupid Kendrick. 

“I apologize for disturbing your precious play, but we need to leave this place.” I heard Kendrick's voice and he slowly guided me to stand up. I saw a lot of students holding their cameras. Oh. Doomed.

We’re at the entrance of the cafeteria when I moved my head to look at him. I saw the girl beside her earlier talking to him, but his attention was on my direction. Our eyes met. 

“Here your new uniform Young Lady,” Kendrick said and hand me my new uniform.

“Did my mother called?” I asked him while I am getting dress inside of my car.

“Not yet, but I believe they will call later.” He answered.

“Takedown that videos, and offer a large sum of money to everyone who witnessed that. Make sure. But make sure that it will reach my parents before you do what I’ve said.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

“Where’s the girl from earlier?” I asked him and wear my blazer.

“She is being escorted to your mansion after your class dismissal.”

“Good,” I said and open the door beside me.

“Wait for me here. I will attend my next class.”

“But—” I look up to him and give him a reassuring smile.
