"Laurice worries too much, it's scary."

The rest was history with Leonardo –almost a history. As expected we became closer friends with the Argeste heir, and our concerns started to slowly disappear –concerns that it was not a good decision to get closer to him. We forgot that we didn't enter university to make friends but to try living normal lives as much as we could get.

I would not lie to myself. I do admit that everything was much more fun with the boy. Our problems became a little lighter to the chest, we shared our stories to Leonardo – except for the fact that Laurice and I were half-sisters. But eventually... he found out.

It may not sound like a big deal, since half-sisters are not that rare of a thing in the society, except that our identities are fakes from the very beginning.

"Code 4?" I asked the man who decided to phone me while I was in the middle of getting my motorbike ready.

"This is Butler Anderson, Miss Vallmofron. Your father is requesting that you need to go visit the States Mansion. He said that you're not allowed to ask me any questions either." Anderson remarked in a polite tone.

I could recall the stress that started spreading all over my body like ice poured from a burning wound, memories began to resurface in my mind.

I came earlier than the scheduled date, a day before even, I wanted things to be over already. I don't want this, but I was prepared to hear his new 'request.'

"Oh! Cory darling! Glad to have you here, and so early in fact!" he phrased.

"My pleasure." I lied with my indifferent nodding.

We talked about his new ideals, his plan for a better future and money-making like the usual. But one weird thing was that he also mentioned that he knew about Leonardo's relationship with us. Castielle expressed his disappointment. Before the conversation could end, a loud explosion was heard nearby the mansion, making Castielle raised a brow – a rare emotion appeared on his face.

"ANDERSON! Call the San Francisco Asylum right now!" he ordered angrily.
