*A Year later*
Every student in the hallway was engaged in conversation with one another. It was the beginning of another week. Renowned as the best high school in the city, Rao City High School was attended by the social elite. Some, however, believed it to be an unfair school where wealthy people enjoyed greater privileges than those from lower-class backgrounds. “The school flower just arrived! Clear the way everyone!” Hearing the voice of the popular follower of the school flower, the people in the hall moved to a side, excitement on their faces. Seeing the beauty was what they always pray for. The school flower was not only beautiful, but she was also very nice and made no distinction between the rich and the poor. She cares about everyone. “School Beauty, take the flowers. It represents your beauty.” A girl, around eighteen years old, stepped into the hallway with two girls behind her. She embodied the true meaning of beauty. Her rosy lips, her wavy hair, her charming little eyes that drew in young men… Sincerely, she was breathtaking. She grinned at each person who gave her a gift and said, “Thank you.” When they reached a corner, she exhaled deeply and placed all the gifts into her friend's hand. She adjusted her hair and clothes and remarked, “It is really not easy.” “I know, right? They all want to be friends with you” One of her friends commented, attempting to flatter her. “They are all losers!” As the three girls were busy talking, a girl walked in, ready to walk past them. She bowed her head, not wanting to meet the girls' eyes directly. “Sofia, you are too big to say hi, right?” With a sly smile on her lips, the School flower moved ahead of the girl. Sofia kept her head lowered, afraid to look directly at the school flower. “Why did you participate in the beauty contest, Sofia? Are you intending to mock me?” The School Flower uttered, placing her hand on the girl's head. “I'm truly sorry, Dahlia. It was my homeroom teacher who asked me to participate. I would never try to mock you.” Unlike Dahlia, who was the school Flower, Sofia was a student from a low-class background. Although she was attractive, she did not receive the same recognition from the students as Dahlia. Dahlia started to act very insecurely, taunting Sofia whenever she had the chance. Not many people are aware of it, and even if they were, Sofia would still get the blame. Dahlia raised her hand to smack the girl, but her hand was stopped midair. Shocked, she lifted her head and saw the face of a boy, about her age. When she recognized the face, her eyes widened with shock. She took a step back, body instinctively retreating, as though her subconscious had triggered a defensive response to protect her. “What… are you… doing… here?” She stuttered, her lips trembling. After what happened more than a year ago, the boy vanished and no one heard from him again. When Dahlia asked about him from his step-brother, she was told the boy had moved away. Far away and would never come back. But now that she was staring at him, her blood froze and she nearly lost her balance. She blinked quickly, trying to get rid of the disbelieving fog that was obscuring her vision. “What do you mean? I can't come to school anymore?” Ivan scoffed, jerking her hand off. He turned to face Sofia who was already trembling. “You should know she's just jealous of your beauty, don't let her bully you.” Sofia gave a grateful nod, mumbled her appreciation, and took off. It was at this moment that Dahlia took a good look at the young man before her with her mouth slightly opened. The last time she saw him, he appeared to be chubby, rugged, and not particularly attractive. However, the Ivan in front of her appeared different. Different from what she saw last. His disheveled hair had been expertly shaved and styled, and his fuller mustache now appeared hairless and sleek. Most importantly, he appears to have lost some weight and grown in height. Dahlia was astounded by what she saw, but she was powerless to argue, since she had known Ivan back when he was attractive and still took care of himself. “What… do you think you are doing?” She was still unable to speak clearly, even after a short while. “Coming to school, of course” Ivan answered. Without waiting for her to reply, he turned around, ready to leave. Of course, Dahlia would not give up easily. What was Ivan doing in her school? Even when they were engaged, he attended a different school from hers. While they went to the same middle school, Ivan transferred to a different high school. Or was he here to beg her? “If you are here to beg me, it's better for you to leave right now? Because I didn't allow you to go jail, doesn't mean I have interest in you! Leave now!” Dahlia uttered brazenly, placing her hands on her waist. Ivan stopped in his tracks, a low chuckle escaping his lips. He had truly changed over the past three months, immersing himself in a plethora of positive experiences in an attempt to shed the negative energy he carried with him from the Langland Family. “I think I should settle scores with you since I'm going to be spending my last days of high school here anyway" Ivan replied nonchalantly. “I had pestered you in the past because of my foolishness, but sincerely, you aren't even that worth it. And for what you did a year ago…" “Are you insulting me now because you have changed and perhaps worked out a little?” Dahlia laughed out loud. “You are nothing to me, Ivan. Your family has abandoned and disowned you. Tell me why you believe you can attend school here. Here, you will fit in with the lower classes, just as you did in your family.” “We will see about that, won't we?” Ivan answered, walking away. After Ivan left, Dahlia felt her whole body trembling as she fiddled with her phone. “Go and report him to the teachers!” She screamed at her friends, who promptly fled to obey her orders. Dahlia tapped the call button on her phone after entering a series of numbers. “Didn't you say he has gone faraway and would never come back?” Dahlia spoke frantically as soon as the call got connected. “What do you mean?” The other person answered, a hint of perplexity in his voice. “Ivan is back” Dahlia replied, almost in a whisper.

MST is here?
After walking for a while, Ivan finally stopped in front of the bar in the address, rolling his eyes in anger. It was not too late to go back, right? He thought to himself, feeling really annoyed at himself for agreeing to accompany Violet.At that moment, his phone chimed. It was a message from his uncle.Devil Uncle: Come back home early, let’s spar.With a hiss, Ivan switched off his phone and let down a deep breath. No matter how much he was willing to leave, Ivan couldn’t just leave. What if he went back just like that and Violet doesn’t really come back?Ethan would certainly create a mess.Before Ivan could move, a man came out of the bar, looking big and a cigarette stuck in his mouth.“Come here,” the man ordered, chuckling a little. He still couldn’t believe that it was this same boy that beat up Snake. He eyed Ivan, amusement shining in his eyes. “Boss wants you in.”Ivan let down a lazy sigh. “I don’t want any trouble. I need to do this real quick. I have somewhere to be.”
Are you this wicked?
After school, Violet didn’t tell Ethan before she left school because the latter wouldn’t even allow it. Since they had known each other since they were young children, they were familiar with each other's tastes and backstories. Because of his father's previous employment with the Mars Family, Ethan got to know Violet, underwent training with Mars Security Organization, and eventually earned his certification as a bodyguard in order to protect her. “Did you tell Ethan before you leave?” Ivan asked as he and Violet walked side by side through the street. “He is kinda obsessed with you. “He could kill himself before you return home if he knows you are with me.” “You don’t have to worry about him,” Violet replied. “I already told him not to wait for me. And Ethan is not obsessed with me, he is just being protective of me.”"Yeah, whatever," Ivan replied in an indifferent tone. “Are you sure you want to go and see her? Her street is not for a rich princess like you.” Violet frowned h
Violet's request
At the end of class, Violet still couldn’t get to talk to Ivan because he keeps treating her indifferently. The boy was more hard headed than she thought.When the lunch was almost over, Violet went to stand at the Teacher’s stand, her eyes roaming the quiet class. It was always like that in Classroom A. Since they are considered the most perfect class in the whole school, they are entitled to keep their image. Other people were whispering to one another, while some were reading and people like Daphne West were talking about makeup and trying on different makeup products. However, only one person was different. He sat on his chair, leaning heavily on it with his eyes closed. For a moment, Violet couldn’t take her eyes off him. Why was she so drawn to this boy whom she isn't so sure of?“Everyone, please listen” Violet broke the atmosphere of the class with her sharp definite voice after she regained her composure. “Can you please step out of the class for a second. I have to talk t
Mars Family.
“My lady” Ethan called, handing over a file to Violet. “There is something definitely fishy about him. From what I found, he was a member of the Langland but his name was removed from the family’s register a year ago due to some reason which I couldn’t find. So right now, he is back just as a student with no family.”Violet looked at the file, her frown deepening. Being a treasure to the Mars family, Violet is more than just a member, and as such, she struggles to put her trust in other people. Given that a large number of her family members desired her death, she had to exercise extreme caution and awareness of her surroundings. “So she is Freddie’s brother but no longer Freddie’s brother? Do you think we should investigate him further?” Violet asked, dropping the file on the desk. She crossed her arm, leaning further on the sofa. “He is a little bit interesting though.”“My lady! You are praising him for being fascinating, but we are unsure if your life is in jeopardy at this poi

The Big Mansion was the only building around the area as Ivan walked through the silent space. His hands were in his pockets as he raised his head to look at the towering building above.It had been a year since he arrived in this place, yet it only felt like yesterday.This place seemed to hold secrets that none of the members spoke about.Ivan entered through the large gate, his eyes as cold as ice, but as he saw the old man standing at the entrance, his heart softened a bit.“You're back!” The Old Man's eyes brightened, waving his hands in the air. “I have been waiting for you.”“I’m sorry I'm late. Something happened to a classmate, so I had to help her home,” Ivan explained, a smile on his lips.Old Master Reyfold was the father of Roshni, Ivan’s mother, and also the former president of the Reyfold Group.When Ivan first came here, this man had taken him in with open hands and a wide smile on his face.
