Naara taps on Xion's shoulders, inviting disapproving looks from the people currently talking to Xion. She is used to this familiar treatment she always gets from the women enchanted by Xion's friendly charm.
Xion turns then puts his hands on his hips as he stands facing Naara and Hanie.
"Oh my God, where have you been? I nearly died from boredom waiting here," he protests.
Naara snorts in annoyance hearing Xion's words which do not match reality. The guy looks pleased to be able to meet new girls on campus.
"Oh, really? Weren't you having fun with your new girlfriends? Where exactly are you getting bored?" says Naara sarcastically.
Xion awkwardly scratches his neck, while Hanie laughs hearing Naara's quip.
"Don’t sulk. Your face will turn ugly,” Xion teases as he pinches Naara’s nose.
Naara slaps his hand away and rolls her eyes. Xion turns back to the group of beautiful girls he just met, saying goodbyes and promising to talk to them again the next time he sees them around. The girls look disappointed as they stare at Naara in contempt. In turn, Naara ignores the sinister looks she’s getting.
The three of them continue on their mini-tour. They stop by the bleachers of the indoor gym to take a seat. The noisy cheers catch their attention. Xion starts to enthusiastically watch the futsal game, while Naara and Hanie sit to drink and eat the snacks they brought.
Naara’s eyes roam around the large and well-equipped gym. Her gaze stops at a familiar face staring back at her. Naara tries to remember who the man is until her eyes widen.
“Oh, shit!” she cusses as she realizes the identity of the man sitting surrounded by three girls. Xion doesn’t seem to hear her, while Hanie who sits next to her turns to look at her.
“What’s wrong?” asks Hanie confused.
Naara gestures at Hanie to follow her gaze and the blonde girl curses as she understands what Naara meant.
“Shit! Why is Adelrado staring this way with that look? Don't tell me, he’s got his eyes on you,” Hanie hisses.
“You know, when Adelrado Cetta Early stares at you closely and sharply like this, there are two possibilities.” Hanie pauses and Naara frowns as she waits for Hanie to continue.
“What possibilities?” asks Naara curiously.
Hanie sucks her soft drink empty. Then she turns fully to Naara.
“The first possibility, it’s because he hates the person, and he’s getting ready to absolutely demolish them. The second possibility is he wants something from them, which he will get at all costs. He’s a cruel and dangerous player. He doesn’t care if you’re a man or a woman when you have business with him, so be ready to be thrown to hell. I hope you don’t get involved with him, Naara. It’s absolutely terrifying,” Hanie explains in length and detail.
Naara shudders listening to her words. She remembers what happened in the toilet just a few hours ago. She prays in her heart to not get in trouble with the cruel lecher. She’s not ready to fall into hell on earth. The man has a sweet smile on his face, enchanting everyone who looks at him so their brains and hearts stop working properly. It’s no wonder he can easily seduce any woman he wants without even trying, Naara included. The woman has to admit that the handsome Adelrado has his own undeniable charm. Adelrado really fits the nickname of a handsome devil.
“I don’t like his smile,” Naara mumbles, contradicting the true content of her heart which praises the bastard’s handsome face. Xion turns and sits his butt right next to Naara.
“What are you talking about, hm? Whose smile do you not like?” Xion asks curiously.
Hanie answers his question. “Adelrado. That guy over there sitting surrounded by three girls. He’s a campus alumnus and I heard he’s going to get his doctorate. He’s a successful billionaire in Germany. He's the biggest sponsor of this campus. He’s very dangerous, so don’t go looking for trouble with him if you don’t want to be sorry and ruined.” she explains to Xion.
“I don’t even care who he is and I have no interest in getting involved with him,” says Naara as she grips her bottle of mineral water.
“That’s good. I also hope you don’t fall in love with him. It’s better to look for other men-- ah right! Don’t tell me you already have an ideal man who you’re aiming for this whole time?” Hanie teases, her words disturbing Xion who is quietly listening.
Naara glares at Hanie who smiles teasingly at her. Xion looks at Naara closely.
“You have someone you like? Do I know the guy? Why didn’t you tell me?” Xion prattles at Naara.
Naara looks down as she tries to stabilize her rowdy heartbeats. Should she be honest on her feelings for Xion now? But what will happen if she tells him the truth? Their friendship will be ruined if they fight as a couple just like what usually happens to other people, right? Naara doesn’t want to lose Xion. She is even willing to hold back her feelings just to keep this friendship between the two of them.
“No one! Hanie is just teasing me. She’s just joking. Isn’t that so, Han?” Naara prays for Hanie to go along with her, but the girl with cute dimples just remains quiet and smiles mysteriously.
Xion is dissatisfied by Naara’s answer. He feels like his best friend is hiding something from him. Why can’t the girl be open with him regarding this matter?
Xion hates being curious. He’s going to try and find out, look for information on which lucky guy his best friend has a crush on. His heart is disturbed restless, but he chooses to stay quiet.
☆☆☆
Adelrado can’t wait to tease her next plaything. The woman is quite interesting. She has a beautiful face, her lips which are quite thick look sexy, and her body shape is quite proportional. She can easily enter the list of Adelrado’s girlfriend candidates, but before that, he needs to make sure whether she deserves it or she is the same as the other cheap girls who come to him to offer themselves freely.
“So, what time should I go to the hotel tonight?” asks the blonde woman running her hand on Adelrado’s chest.
The man glances sharply at the hand resting on his chest. The other woman sitting below him is caressing the family jewels tucked neatly in his pants. This is disgusting to Adelrado. Too cheap, there is no challenge at all. Their self-respect can be bought with money, or even with a hot kiss. Adelrado harshly jerks away from the women’s roaming hands. He’s starting to feel nauseous and disgusted by their worsening behavior.
“Stay away from me, bitch! Don’t get close anymore, or I’ll destroy every single one of you. You’re sickening me,” Adelrado snaps.
The women stand and swallow hard. It looks like Adelrado isn’t in a good mood. They quickly run off before the man yells again and starts doing horrible things to them.
Adelrado’s hands clench hard as his clear blue eyes stare at his next toy walking away with another man who doesn’t match her in any way.
“I’m going to destroy anyone who stands in my way,” Adelrado hisses. The man stands, he would rather go to his company building than wasting more time sitting on campus.
The learning activities in her new campus take all of Naara’s focus. She follows every class diligently. Her heart is pleased to be able to learn at the prestigious university. As the day is approaching noon, Naara steps outside the class to find Xion.Today, Xion and her have different classes. The girl lightly steps along the corridor looking for the classroom where Xion or Hanie are, the two being the only ones Naara knows in the new campus aside from the few students sharing classes with her. Naara’s lovely eyes once again find herself face to face with the dangerous man Hanie warns her about. The man is wearing a black suit that makes him look handsome and mysterious. She shakes her head, getting rid of the thoughts praising the perverted lecher. Naara dreads falling for the man or having anything to do with him. Adelrado stands not far away from Naara’s class on purpose, paying close attention when the beautiful girl walks towards where he’s lean
Xion roughly turns Naara by her shoulders and stares firmly at her. The girl says nothing, speechless, as tears run down her face uncontrollably. Hanie and Caroline slowly approach them. This is a rare occurrence even for those who are used to Adelrado's behavior on campus."That jerk! I'm going to get back at him!" Xion growls as he clenches his fists. Caroline blocks him before he pursues Adelrado."Don't throw yourself into the fire if you don't want to be burnt," Caroline warns him. Xion glares at her."So, you want me to just do nothing after what that bastard did to Naara? HUH?!" Xion snaps atCaroline. Hanie walks over to Xion, who is glaring at Caroline angrily. Hanie prevents Caroline from replying to Xion's angry words by pulling her arm and giving a code with a shake of her head."We're not forbidding you. It's just that we're afraid of the risks you'll have to take later," Hanie says softly as she rubs Xion's back. The man jerks Hanie's
Xion decides to go to Hanie's apartment, intending to get as much detailed information as possibleabout Aderaldo. It seems that Hanie is really scared to talk about Adelrado on campus. Therefore, Xion decides to speak to her now. Hanie is surprised but still lets Xion into her apartment. The woman can already guess the purpose of the man's arrival tonight."So? What do you want to know?" asks Hanie without further ado.Xion brushes his hair and stares expectantly at Hanie."I wanna know who the bastard we saw this afternoon was. You have to tell me everything," Xion says without hesitation. Hanie sighs. Like it or not, she has to tell Xion as it is. "Aderaldo Cetta Early is the largest shareholder on campus. He is also a benefactor to all the foundations under our campus. Aderaldo is the owner of several large companies in this country. One of the most influential men, because of his endless wealth,""He owns nearly everything. However, one thing,
There is only silence and a cold aura emanating inside the luxury car belonging to the man Naara sees as a bastard. The woman scans every inch of the contents in the car. On the one hand, she is very happy to be able to feel the sensation of riding a luxurious, ridiculously pricey car. Maybe it will take Naara decades to work before she can afford the price of the car she is riding. On the other hand, she is sick of being toyed with by an authoritarian man like Aderaldo."You are the most annoying bastard I have ever met in my entire life," Naara hisses, and Aderaldo glances at her with a lopsided smile."Thanks for the compliment. I'm flattered," Aderaldo replies casually.Naara sucks on her tongue. "You're not stupid, are you? You can definitely tell the difference between a compliment and a curse," says Naara boldly."I think the word bastard is a compliment. That word is so fitting for me, who is a bastard," Aderaldo replies in a very calm tone.
"Have you seen Naara?" Xion asks the people who are supposed to be in the same class as the girl.They all shake their heads, and some respond to Xion's question nonchalantly. The man is very familiar with Naara's lecture schedule, so he went to Naara's apartment to go to campus together this morning, but the girl wasn't there."Okay, thank you." Xion walks down the corridor looking for Naara's whereabouts. His slanted eyes catch the figure of Hanie walking towards one of the classes."Hanie!" Xion shouts, and the woman stops walking, then looks back."Xion, what's wrong?" asks Hanie as the man walks closer to her."Have you seen Naara?" Xion asks again without further ado. Hanie shakes her head."I did not see her.""Where can she be? I stopped by to pick her up, but her apartment was empty," Xion worries. Hanie crosses her arms over her chest."Have you tried calling her cell phone?" asks Hanie, and Xion slaps his forehead qu
Naara Kiva's true nature suddenly awakens when she's been with Aderaldo for almost two hours.Again and again, the Greek good-looking man kisses her lips without permission. Whispering the underwear size, she is wearing precisely. It is obvious how perverted the man was. It is as if he has been trained and is very used to examining or even holding a 'Melon' hm... a pretty subtle analogy for Naara's breasts, but still, the girl doesn't like it. Naara does not intend to return Aderaldo's kiss even though Naara has to admit that the kiss succeeds in evoking something she has never wanted before.The woman raises her palm as high as possible behind Aderaldo's head and immediately grabs the man's hair."AW!" Aderaldo shouts, releasing his kiss from Naara's lips. Naara looks at Aderaldo with a fierce look. The young and handsome billionaire looks at her in disbelief while fixing his sleek hair."That's just some hair I pulled. If you dare to be rude again, I wi
Naara's eyes fill with tears. The girl cries silently on her bed. Xion's words are still ringing in her ears. Words that Naara never thought would be spoken to her, as good friends who have known each other well for the past few years. The girl can't stop thinking about why Xion acted like that. Completely not like the Xion she knew. All the cynical words she heard strike right on the pit of her heart. Naara's head now feels on the verge of exploding, thinking about Xion's change in attitude and the cell phone being crushed to the point where it can't be used anymore.☆☆☆"That phone—" Naara whispers. Naara immediately glances in the direction where Xion is standing. She is about to open her mouth, but Xion interrupts with words that make her furious."The result of you selling yourself to that bastard? Is my guess correct?" Xion's accusation successfully makes Naara Kiva shed tears."How much did that bastard pay you? Ju
After Naara leaves, Xion feels very angry. He clenches his palms. Someone taps him on his back, and he immediately turns his head, only to receive a sudden blow on his stomach with no warning.A punch by Hanie lands right on the man's stomach. Annoyance and anger spur her to hit him. "What the hell are you doing?" Xion snaps."Why do you always act rashly and stupidly? Where is your scholarship-winning brain?" Hanie does not hesitate to rebuke Xion."You always use your emotions instead of your brain. I saw everything, Xion. Everything you did to Naara, your best friend." Hanie stares at Xion and jabs the man's chest with her index finger."Don't interfere. I won't let Naara become a whore," Xion hisses.Another hard slap strikes Xion on his cheek, only from a different person. It's a bonus from Hanie's palm, which is also quite wide and strong."If you're really Naara's best friend, you wouldn't say such stupid words and accusations with no
