TAMING THE DEVIL

"Where the hell did I get the courage to do that?!" Gwen asked herself while sitting on the bench and panting.

But somehow you felt happy that you finally said to him the things you’ve been wanting to say.

"What are you doing here Gwen?" Zoe said to me when she saw you on the bench.

And why do you look so tired? Zarah added

"It’s a long story, come on I’ll tell you, in our dorm," you said as you pulled them and walk to your dorm.

"YOU DID WHAT!!!!????" Zoe shouted after you told them what you just did.

"ARE YOU CRAZY GWYNETH!" Zarah said to you.

I’M IN TROUBLE RIGHT??? Gwen asked them

I think you really are in trouble Gwen. Zoe said

"Urgh!"

I really hate you, Ezekiel! I swear I’ll do everything to make him participate in this project we’re making!! Gwen said as you took out a towel on your wardrobe to take a quick shower.

Well good luck to you girl, having Zeke participate in that project feels like your going to tame a devil. A very bad devil. Zarah said to you before you enter the shower.

Yeah yeah, I know… But you know me very well girls.

"What Gwyneth wants Gwyneth gets," you said and close the door of the shower.

You really are really testing my patience, Zeke. and I’m liking it, lets's just see who wins this. you said to yourself.

Zeke was in his dorm, lying on his bed staring at the folder Gwen gave him.

“DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO THIS PROJECT ALL BY MYSELF?! HUH! YOU WISH!!

“TAKE THAT AND DO IT!! AND GIVE IT TO ME TOMORROW!! DO THAT OR ELSE I’LL KILL YOU!! "

"I never thought that you were that brave Gwen," Zeke said as he opened his laptop and opened the folder.

"Morning" Gwen entered the class and look around.

"He’s not here yet," Zoe said to you

And what did you just mean by that? you asked Zoe

I know you’re looking for Zeke. Zoe said

Do you really think he will do that project? Zarah said to you too

Zarah was still talking when all of a sudden she stopped talking.

"What’s wrong?" you said while laughing and you were busy taking your notebook to your book. And you almost cursed when you saw Zekestanding in front of you.

"Here" he coldly said as he put down the folder in your desk, and then leave the class.

"Hey, where are you going!!" you shouted, but he just raises his hand and continues walking.

OH MY GOD GWEN !!! Zoe said

I can’t believe Zeke did what you told him. Zarah said

And look, he did it all correctly!! Zoe said as he scans the papers that Zeke handed to you.

You take the folder in Zoe’s hand and read it.

" I knew he can do it," you said and smiled

After the class, Zoe and Zarah keep on bugging you out and teasing you about what you did to Zeke so decided to stay away from them. You were about to the library when your phone rang.

"Yes?"

"What are you doing?" the person on the other line asked you

Just finish passing my reports why? you answered

Get ready tonight the driver will pick you up. the caller said and ended the call.

"Okay," you said as you walk away to the library.

You walk towards the music room then entered the room and close the door. You walk towards the piano and started to play it. You really play the piano when you're stressed out. After playing, Gwen leaves the music room, Because has to get ready. And didn’t even notice that someone was watching her the whole time.

After giving Gwen the project, Zeke decided to ditch the class because he was just so sleepy from doing that project until morning, he tried to find a quiet place to sleep and he ended up sleeping in the music room. He was sleeping soundly when suddenly you wakened up by the sound of the piano playing. So he sneaks out to watch her play the piano and sing. And there you saw Gwen, she really looks sad while singing. After playing one song, she left the music room.

"You haven’t changed a bit, Gwen," Zeke said as he goes back to sleep.

Zoe and Zarah entered their room, still looking for you.

"Where the hell did Gwen go?" Zoe said as she put down her bag on her bed.

She has been avoiding us because she knows that we will keep on teasing her hahaha. Zoe said

Ohh... "Gwen left a note!" Zoe said as she saw the note on your bedside table.

“I’ll be out for tonight” Helene is want’s to see me”

“Ohh.. The evil wrench is home” Zarah said.

I bet she was forced to go home again. Zoe said.

Some might said that her life is perfect, but she doesn’t. Zarah said.

"Welcome home Young Miss." the maids welcome you as you enter the mansion.

Gwen just nods at them and gives your bag to the butlers.

Welcome back, Gwen. the headmistress of the house said to you.

You were close to her because she was the headmistress of this house since you were a kid.

Thank you, Lady Jean, is Mom here? you whispered to her

Yes, miss, she currently resting in her room.

"How about Dad?"

I’m sorry but madam is alone. Lady Jean said which made you sad.

But Young Master Roi is in his room. Lady Jean said

"Really?" you said and smiled and run upstairs to your brother’s room.

You knock on the door before you enter the room.

"Gege~" you said as you saw your brother doing something at his table.

"Ohh your here princess," Roi said and stop what he was doing and hugged you tight.

"I miss you," Gwen said

I miss you more my princess, but why are you here? Roi asked you

Aren’t you supposed to be in School?

Helene called me earlier, and she said that the driver will pick me up. Gwen said as she sat on her brother's bed.

"oh, why?"

I don’t know, the usual routine maybe, scolding me even though I didn’t do anything wrong. It has been her habit for quite a long time now. Gwen said and smiled

Shhh.. watch your mouth she might hear you! Roi said as he wants to burst into laughter.

Don’t worry Gege, I’m already used to it. I just can’t believe she always favors you even though we have the same mother? Gwen said

"I really don’t know too Gwen" Roi said

Oh, I’ll go to my room first Gege, I will get ready for a long scolding later. Gwen said and smiled at him before you leave his room.

People tend to believe that she is living a perfect life as the princess of Evan’s Family, yes, outside they see me as what they want to see me, but deep inside I’m not. They all thought that I have everything. Material yes, I can have anything I want, but the only thing I don’t have is the thing that I have been wanting to have, which is the love from my mother. And that is the only thing I can never have. Because I am not her real daughter. Truth is, I and my brother are not her biological child. Because of her incapacity to bear a child, even if she’s against it decided my father and grandmother decided to hire a surrogate mother, for the Family to have their heir. The first child was my brother and your mother accepted him wholeheartedly. But she was furious when your biological mother got pregnant again. She can’t accept that your father continued his affair with her. But still, your father insisted that you are part of the Kim family and bring you to the house when you were just a year old. Everybody in the Family accepted you except for her. You grew up knowing that she is your mother, but as you grow up you notice that she has always been aloof to you, you always tried to get her attention but it always ends up her being mad at you.

You still remember how painful it is when you found out why she hates you. You were thirteen years old when you found out everything when you overheard her fighting with your father.

“Why can’t you treat Gwen the way you treat Roi!!” your father asked her

“You expect me to be nice to be nice to the proof of your infidelity!!!”

“But Roi and Gwen have the same mother!!”

Yes!! But Roi’s case is different, we both agreed to have her carry your child, but every time I look at Gwen, I see her mother, and I always remember how painful it is that you continued your affair with her!!”

"I told you it was a mistake!"

I don’t care!!! “I don’t like Gwen and you can never force me to treat her the way I’m treating Roi!” your mom said as he leaves their room she saw you outside the door but she just looks at you and walks away.

"Dad," you said that made your father looks at you.

"Gwen, how long have you been there?" he said as he holds your shoulder

"Dad, Is it true?" you asked him as you hold your tears.

I’m sorry Gwen, It’s my fault.

" I did that to protect you," he said as he hugged you.

Now I know why she treats me that way. It’s okay Dad, I’m already used to how mom treats me. And now that I know why, I think I won’t hurt that much. I will be okay. you said and hugged him before you went back to your room.

You cried so hard as soon as you enter your room

You were crying when you heard a knock on your door.

“Gwen~~ open the door it’s me Roi gege”

But you just ignore it and cover yourself with your blanket. Because you know that Roi will soon enter your room even if you don’t want to.

"Hey "

"Is my princess is still crying?"

Get out! I want to be alone!! you said

Hey, Do you really want your handsome Gege to leave?

"Come here let me see your face," he said as he pulled you.

" I said I want to be alone!" you shouted at him

Gwen, look at me! he said to you

No!! you said

Gege wants to see how ugly you are when you cry! Roi said as he holds your cheeks

"Gege!"

You remove Roi’s hand from your face. But you were shocked when she hugs you tight.

"It’s okay Gwen," you know you can always cry on your shoulder.

And I want you to remember that no matter what happens I will always be here for you because Gege loves you so much.

" Do you understand!" Roi said as he taps her head

If you are tired and want to cry I’m here. If you feel alone, I am here, remember that! Roi said as he kissed your forehead and leave the room.

And now that you're 21 years old, nothing has changed. She still treats you like trash but keeps on pressuring you to be the best. She said she want me to excel in all the things because she wants to brag out to the world that she raised a perfect daughter. Everything has to be perfect, I can't do anything that might ruin her reputation. After taking a shower, you heard a knock on your door.

"Young Miss, madam is waiting for you in the dining room," she said

"Yes, I'm coming," you said as you fix your hair.

You walk into the dining area and you saw her sitting in her place. So you just sit on the chair beside her.

Then Lady Choi put a glass on your right side. You look at her and asked her in a small voice.

"Where is Gege Lady Jean?" you said in a low voice

"Roi went back to the office." your mother said

So I’m expecting to receive your grades next week Gwen. Tell me now if I’m not going to be happy about it. she said while eating.

"I’m sure that my grades are higher than the last time mom," you said.

Okay.. but that’s not the reason why I wanted to meet you. she said

"W-what was it Mom?"

As you know, recently our company merged with GM Group of Companies, and the chairman’s wife asked me a favor of finding the best school for their sole heir. I want you to come to me tomorrow to meet Mr. Gomez and their son who will now be transferred to your school. I want to introduce you to their son and be nice to him because we can’t lose GMC and their connections. she said

"Okay, mom," you said

And after that, she stands up and left you. So you have nothing to do but to stare at the foods that are served at the table. So you took a deep sigh and walk back to your room.

“She wants me to join her to meet their new business partner and their son, huh!"

She could have just called me to do that!!” you said to yourself as you climb the stairs.

You were about to sleep when you remember the meeting your mother said. So you stand up and search for a dress you can use tomorrow.

I know that Helene has something in her mind when she asked you to come to her meeting tomorrow. And you can sense that it’s not good for you. But still, you can’t disobey the Queen mother.

A/N: Gege: is mandarin word for brother
