The chatter from the crowd increases, reverberating through the air. Students who hadn't overcome the incident glued their eyes to the figure, wondering how someone who couldn't swim could rescue someone from drowning.“I just can’t believe that just happened!” a girl muttered, turning to her friend, who mirrored her wide-eyed expression. They shifted their gaze from the stretcher wheeling away to Mason.“I can't believe how easily someone could lose their life! What if Mason had chosen to ignore the situation like we did?” Another girl muttered, her voice dropping to a whisper. A cold silence lingers among the group. The sound of the approaching footsteps caught the students’ attention, and they shifted their gaze to Ms. Sonia. The relief washed over her face, and she made several prompted sighs of relief to escape the students.“I’m glad to share some good news,” Ms. Sonia said, scanning through the once worried crowd. “According to the medical staff, Naomi is going to be fine. She

As if time itself had paused, leaving Mason with a whirlwind of thoughts. The loud noise of conversation and laughter abruptly pulled him back to reality. He glanced across the pool at the crowd crammed at the edge, their eager faces focused on a conversation that rippled through the group like water.A sudden splash echoed through the chatter, snapping Mason’s attention toward the pool. Unlike his peers, who merely cast fleeting glances at the disturbance before returning their attention to Jacob, Mason leaned in with a furrowed brow deepening with concern. He scanned the pool's surface, a shiver running through his veins as he recalled moments when playful splashes had turned into something much more serious.Seconds ticked by, and when no one surfaced after the disturbance, an unsettling feeling began to churn in his stomach. 'Something is wrong!' his instincts screamed. With a sudden burst of urgency, he sprang from the bench, tossing his buzzing phone toward Cleopatra, who had

Several curious eyes drifted from the pool to the spot where Mason and Cleopatra were sitting. When they failed to see the connection between the two, they turned their attention back to the girl who had made the announcement.“What on earth are you yapping about?” someone from the crowd murmur with incredulity, lacing her tone. “Why would you lie about Mason kissing Cleopatra?”The girl, who had indeed noticed how close the two were earlier, glanced at her colleague earnestly. “I swear I saw them!” She paused, scanning the faces of her peers, who furrowed their brow skeptically at her words. “For Christ’s sake, they were this close!” she exclaimed, holding her hands together to illustrate.Flora, leaning against the wall with arms crossed, scoffed at the girl's explanation. “Can you stop lying already?” she snapped.The girl quickly forced down a lump as she met her gaze. Flora, seeing her expression, leaned forward. “Do you know how rich and attractive Cleopatra is? How dare you rom

"How does someone's background determine if they can swim or not?" a familiar voice inquired. The incredulity in her tone made a warm flutter in Mason's chest as he turned to see Cleopatra. Since he left their classroom with Jeremiah, Mason hadn't seen her, but now her swimsuit made several heads roll in her direction.Her hair, which Mason remembered was usually in a ponytail, dropped freely on her back.Jacob, to whom the question was directed, felt a lump tighten in his throat. His gaze wandered around Cleopatra before a shivering smile flickered on his lips as he searched for the right words.Just as he opened his mouth to respond, Cleopatra cut in. “I can’t swim either. Does that have anything to do with my background?” Her question hung in the air, prompting Jacob to swallow hard with the knot in his throat. He pulled his gaze from the frown forming on Cleopatra's face. Jacob shrugged his shoulders. “That's different—” He paused, and Mason could see he was contemplating which

Mason stepped out of the locker room, ignoring the whispers behind him. Finding the Natatorium wasn't difficult, as several students trailed in the same direction, excitedly discussing the upcoming competition.As he approached the entrance, the sounds of laughter and splashes of water filled the air. Just before he could slip through the open door, the familiar buzz of his phone vibrated in his palm, distracting him from the bustling crowd. He flicked his thumb and unlocked the screen. “Hello, Miranda,” Mason called, stepping aside as a group of students rushed past him into the natatorium.Miranda, detecting the commotion in the background, cleared her throat. “Young Master, should I call back when you're less occupied?” She inquired, a hint of uncertainty lacing her tone as she hoped that her timing wasn’t inconvenient.“No,” Mason responded. “If you're calling, then it's important, so tell me, what did you find?” Without hesitation, she answered. “The IT department successfully

Mr. Santos, noticing the change in her tone, cast an apologetic gaze at her. “I... I'm sorry,” he replied. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay before practice started.” Mason, sensing the sudden tension, stood to his feet. “Ms. Sonia, if you don't mind, I will excuse myself,” he announced. Ms. Sonia, casting him an apologetic look, nodded her head as she watched him exit the room. Although Mason couldn't hear their words, he sensed that their exchange wasn't friendly. Without wasting time, Mason proceeded to the locker room, where the practice swimsuits were distributed to the respective students' lockers. As he approached the room, a familiar voice caught his attention, but he decided to ignore the group gathered around Jacob. None of them seemed to notice him walk in, as they were all invested in whatever Jacob was telling them. “Wow, I can't believe you got paired with Cleopatra!” one of the boys exclaimed, staring at Jacob with a stunned expression. “You're so luck

A moment after the incident, Lucian, not ready to go home, sat at the waiting ward, hoping to speak to the doctor who had attended to the girl. Though Lucian wasn't her family but filled in a few details, I'm trying the hospital chat except the part regarding her name and medication or allergies.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged from the surgical ward, his face a mask of fatigue and concern. Lucian, seeing his expression, felt his stomach twitch and instinctively clenched his stomach, bracing himself for the news that was about to shatter his world.“Doctor, what is going on? Is she okay?” Lucian asked, pulling his eyes from the hospital board, which showed the surgery was over.The doctor, seeing his expression, heaved a sigh, prompting him to force down a lump. “The patient lost a lot of blood, which made the surgery difficult considering her blood is difficult, but the surgery was successful, and we need to monitor her vitals closely,” the young doctor added.Ma

The man's voice vibrated through the air, making Lucian adjust his gaze to the girl shuddering under the man's grip. The weather, which wasn't helping the situation, soared with thunder, and even the man quickly glanced at the sky before returning his gaze to Lucian. The man scoffs, tightening his hold on his blade. "If you had just done what I asked for, I would have been on my way, and everyone would have been happy!" He yelled, adjusting his gaze to his unconscious men on the floor. “You have to make things difficult by playing a hero, huh?” The loud voice, yelling angrily at Mason, made the girl shiver once more, and even when she tried to maintain her composure, the cold rain pierced into her skin. “Shake one more time and I will slit your throat!” The man yells, and the girl freezes, holding her breath. Hot tears drop from her cheeks as she holds Lucian's gaze. Her eyes secretly beg him to save her, and Lucian understands her pain signals for her to remain calm. Luci

Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge

Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian

The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling

Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing
