"Anthony, that is enough hmm," Mrs Parker scolded him. She reached out her hand and tried to pull him down from Raymond's body after she noticed that they were beginning to garner attention. "But..." "There is no but little boy. I am afraid that you are gonna keep him and us here all night if I let you have your way," Mrs Parker said unyieldingly. She made him let go of Raymond. "Also don't forget that your Big Sis left you in my care. With Joanna not around you are to listen to me ok," Mrs Parker…-

"And I am sure you wouldn't want to listen to what will become of such a person if the palace gets involved in the case right?" He quizzed, his cold gaze settled on Mr Finley's stoic face. "I and the school will make sure to give you a satisfying explanation for what happened today as soon as possible..." "You better do so because I can't tell for how long I will be able to hold myself back," Kayden retorted and signalled the guys standing outside to get into the car. Joanna declared. She rubbed her…

Although the magic trick was her idea, Derrick's splendid display exceeded Joanna's expectations a hundred times. The fireworks show he puts on looked so real that even she had trouble differentiating if it was just a trick or a real show. She was so much enjoying the show and didn't notice that Raymond, who was by her side the entire time, was nowhere to be seen. At the end of the show, Joanna turned and walked away from her fellow group members whose families had joined them to celebrate the success…

She moved to stand in line after she had said her part and gave way to Derrick who was the second speaker. "To all those who stepped forward in the midst of many and defended our territory with great might," Derrick said and moved back in line. "To our heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives without hesitation to give us the peace we enjoy," Lia said her part with her right hand on her chest. One by one Joanna group members said their tributes for those who lost their lives during the ancient…

"W-w-what..." Joanna stammered. For a second there she forgot that she had the microphone positioned in front of her mouth. Joanna's eyes fluttered repeatedly as she stared at the face of the man in his red royal regalia whose gaze was glued on her. Joanna was in deep thought as she stared at his handsome face. She forgot that she was on stage and they were people behind waiting to be called to perform. Those waiting backstage got worried when they didn't hear Joanna's voice. Raymond was forced to…

"W-w-what...." Lia, who had given up on getting on the stage that night, shouted. Her fallen expression lights up in an instant. "Miss... I meant Joanna is right," Raymond quickly corrected himself. He moved away from the crowd and stood beside Joanna instead. "The beats are up to date. It includes all the modifications we have made to our performances. All we need to do is play out our drama just like we have practised and we will be able to deliver a splendid performance," Raymond…

"I don't know," Derrick, who was equally shocked, replied. "We came to transport the instruments and costumes backstage as you ordered and met the rehearsal room in this state," He explained, frustration visible on his face. "We were on our way to check the CCTV cameras when I decided to inform you about the issue..." "Then what are you waiting for?... Let's go," Raymond ordered and together he and Derrick hastened out of the hall. "We have less than fifteen minutes to perform. With the drums,…

"Wow... I am surprised you still remember that" Raymond remarked. His gloomy expression lightened up in an instant. "That night would have been the day I died and got devoured by wild beasts if it were not for you, so of course I recall almost everything that took place that night," Joanna relayed. Talking about that night brought back memories of that fateful day. If not for the bravery of the chubby boy who was only a bit taller than her, she would have been torn apart by a tiger who attacked…

"But she is not usually so playful. I believe she acted that way to cheer me on and also get rid of my anxiety," Joanna mumbled. She brought back her attention to where Raymond, their instructor for the day, stood in front of them. At first, when others were nervous Joanna felt super relaxed. She didn't get cold feet nor did her heart pound hard against her chest like her other group members. But this changed as the time for their performance drew closer. She had believed that all she needed to…

It wasn't until Joanna joined her group that she realised that half of her group members were staring towards the entrance instead of rehearsing. She was about to follow their line of sight when she heard Lia mumble, " Whose aunt is that?" She whispered. She also stopped walking and stared at where the others' attention was. "Mrs Parker!" Joanna blurted out in shock the moment she looked towards the door and saw the woman in a silk red dress still peeping at them although she had long been…
