New beginning

~A week later ~

After staying at home for the past week, it was time for Layla's departure. It was a 7am flight so the family where on their way by 6.30am. Since it was a 15 minutes drive to the airport from their house.

Upon getting to the airport Layla and her mum boarded the plane after kissing Luke and Jaden (Layla's dad ) good bye.

Unknown to the martins family, the Fredrick family was in chaos, Ben and Matthew had almost turned down city Y just to find Layla.

For the past two month you guys can't find a single girl, you are all useless said an angry Matthew to the hired bodyguards and private detectives.

Alice had been beaten and rapped by both Matthew and Ben for the past two month. She was kept in a cage ever since Layla ran away. They used her as a tool to vent their anger. She was already scared of their methods. Now she only wish they could find Layla, so she will be able to divorce this monster of a husband.

She regretted treating Layla like a rival when she was the one suffering at her young age.

She remembered the time she once saw Layla's lifeless eyes one morning after a very torturous night. Alice felt pity for the fifteen year old girl for the first time since she became her daughter.

Layla was bruised all over and looked like a trampled flower. That day Alice decided to let her be. But she's really regretting treating her badly because Layla never did anything bad to her. But it's too late, she's not sure if she could ever leave this cage not to talk of escape the villa.

Unlike Alice being regretful when it's already too late. Layla was so happy to start school because it meant a new beginning for her. After spending a week to get accommodation and other things necessary for schooling in country G.

She will be attending a boarding school. On the day she was meant to resume, Layla woke up early to get ready because she was so excited that she barely slept for four hours.

By 7am she got into the car with Sarah and the newly hired driver, Tom drove them off to school.

After three hours Layla saw the gate of her new school with the words Elite Academy boldly written on the top.

Upon entering the school environment, Sarah and Layla got off the car as they made their way to the principal office while Tom went to wait in the parking lot.

Upon getting to the principal office the secretary who introduced herself as miss grace lead them to Mr. Maxwell's office.

After about 30 minutes Layla and her mom left the principal office.

Layla kissed her mum good bye as she made her way to the hall to get her information to her assigned residence hall and room number.

General information they are seven residence hall in elite academy, three for males namely ; Cedarwood Hall, Maple Grove Hall and Willow Hall. Four for females namely ; Jasmine Hall, Magnolia Hall, Orchid Hall, Lavender Hall.

Layla was assigned to Orchid Hall room six, when she got to her room, none of her roommates were around and she wasn't surprised because school will start three days after, so she just arranged her stuff to her side of the room, she texted her mum about everything and her mum told her of her plans on how to change the apartment to Layla's preference because after her mum was gone she'll be staying there when the school is on holidays.

After talking to her mum for a while she went to the cafeteria to eat, after which she took a shower and slept off immediately she layed on her bed.
