A black luxurious Ferrari droved into the estate,and a guy in who looked in his early twenty's, gets out of the car, wearing a tailored suit in a dark color, like navy or charcoal.
The suit is expensive and well-fitting, and the shoes are polished and expensive-looking.
His hair is neat and well-styled, and he exudes an air of confidence and sophistication.
His eyes drawn upward,at the big house, its whitewashed walls gleaming in the sunlight.
He let out the most charming smile ever before began walking to the house.
At the edge of the property, admiring the sweeping lawns, the rows of tall, perfectly trimmed trees, and the smooth, elegant facade of the house.
The garden looks like something out of a painting, with its neat flowerbeds and perfectly trimmed hedges.
He could hear the chirping of the birds, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle breeze through the trees. The sun is warm on my face, and he can smell the subtle scent of roses wafting from the garden.
As he approach the front door, he take in the scent of roses wafting from the nearby garden. The house is indeed overcome by a sense of peace and serenity as you reach for the brass doorknob and enter the main house.
He was welcomed by the elegance of the space, The walls are lined with marble and a crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling.
There is a sweeping staircase leading to the second floor, and a large mirror reflects the sunlight streaming through the windows. The floor is tiled in a rich, dark wood, and the air is scented with the aroma of roses.
To the left of the foyer,is a long hallway and at the end of the hallway,and at the end of the hallways is a sets of double doors.
He take a deep breath, and gently push one of the doors open.The room beyond is bathed in light, and you're greeted by the sight of a massive mahogany desk, complete with leather chairs and a stately bookshelf.
Beyond the desk, spotted a door leading into another room.
The room beyond is clearly the master bedroom. The bed is enormous, covered in a plush, navy blue comforter. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a verdant garden, and a walk-in closet beckons from the far wall.
The room is immaculate, and everything seems to be in its proper place.
The guys eyes fell on a figure lazilly stretched under a thick duvets.
"Boss!!!" He finally announced his presence and a figure pushed the duvets off his body at once and his face came to view.
His slightly dazed expression on his face as he slowly opens his eyes. He blinks a few times, trying to get his bearings.
Even in his disheveled state, the man is undeniably handsome.
His dark hair is tousled, framing his face in a way that only enhances his chiseled features. His strong jawline is lightly dusted with stubble, and his cheekbones are prominent and striking.
Even though he's wearing a simple white t-shirt and a pair of loose sweatpants, there's no mistaking the fact that he's a man of privilege and power. His brown eyes are piercing and intense.
Why won't he has all this features??
Leonardo Hernandez, twenty five, the only heir to the Hernandez family,the richest and most famous family in New Zealand and the youngest CEO in the country.
Not even the president dares not to speak,when it's comes to them.
Since thier dad's death. He took over almost all the property.
Not because he's the only child,he has two sisters. Josephine and Mikaela.
Josephine is the eldest,she's 31 and happily married,she's staying in Australia managing thier business over there.
While Mikaela Is just 19,a college student. She's staying in the same house with Leonardo.
"Good morning!" Princeton bowed and Leonardo only nodded
"Don't tell me it's already time?" Leonardo asks, his voice low and slightly rough from sleep.
"Sorry boss! It's pasted the time given" Princeton,His PA replied
Leonardo graoned and sat by the edge of the bed. He put his feet on the floor and reached under the bed for his plush slippers. He slipped them on, and stood up, stretching his arms over his head, and made his way over to Princeton.
Leonardo took the tablet from Princeton, who smiled and bowed slightly.
"So what am I supposed to do? Am I really needed at the meeting? I fell like staying home all day" He yawned as he scroll through the tablets.
Princeton only smile as he makes sure to maintain one metre away from him as he followed him out.
"A new game has finally been launched and it's can't be announced yet if you aren't present,you don't have to say a word. All they need is you" Princeton explained
"New game? Why don't I know about this?"
Princeton made to show him but he stopped him.
"I'll just see it for myself at the meeting,wait for me downstairs! I'll join you in few minutes" He returned the tablet and shoved his hands in his pocket,heading back to his room.
Princeton was making his way to the living room, when he sight Mikaela eating alone at the dining room.
"Princeton!" Mikaela waved at him and immediately stood,and rushed to him
"Ma'am Mika!" Princeton bowed and Mikaela frowned
"I thought I told you to stop bowing and addressing me as ma'am or miss,Just call me Mikaela or Micky!" She said
"I'm sorry ma'am,I really can't do that!" Princeton bowed again
"Is it because of my brother? I promise he won't get mad if he found out, or you can simply call me by my name when we're together alone" She smile hoping he'll just do it.
She badly wanna hear how her name will sound in his cute lips.
Leonardo showed up that minutes,he's already dressed.
"You're still here?" Leonardo turned to Mikaela.
Mikaela rolled her eyes and went back to her seat.
"Eat with me! I don't wanna eat alone! Again?" She pouted
Leonardo checked his watch before facing her.
"I know it's gonna be No! Again? You can leave,I'm used to this anyway" She muttered sadly
"I'm sorry Micky? I'll make it up to you later ok?" Leonardo stroke her hair and she gave him a smile in return
"Take care and don't stay out late" He added and starts to walk out. Princeton immediately followed him.
Mikaela eyes followed him till he was out of sight.
"I wonder why he never smiles at me? Does he hates me?" She mumbled and her phone rang at once.
It's from her friends.
❃✧❃✧❃
"No! Please!!!"
"Please! No!!"
"Don't do this!"
"I'm begging you... please!!"
The alarm began ringing and the sound woke Lyric. She sat up turning her face to the widow side.
The sun warmed my face, and the breeze lifted the hair from her neck,Her beauty and innocent face came to view.
She just had a dream of her that tormenting night again. She's use to it,and sometimes wish it's really turned out to be a nightmare but.
Something suddenly rang in her head and she immediately get off the bed. She ran out,entering the room next to hers.
She dashed into the room and met Granny Lupe, already cleaning the room.
"Nanny! Why are they still sleeping? It's pasted 7!" She exclaimed, attempting to wake Pearl and Starr.
Her two kids.
"It's Saturday, there's no school....." Granny Lupe said
Lyric moved back
"That's true,can't believe I forgot that again!" She ruffled her hair
"It's normal to forget sometimes! After all you're not that young anymore" Granny Lupe smiled
"I'm still young Nannyy! If I didn't know you and tells you I've kids will you believe?"
Granny Lupe shooked her head and they both laugh.
Lyric sat next to kids,and touched thier hairs brushing it from thier face.
Granny Lupe stopped what she was doing to watch,a smile spread on her lips.
Lyrics raised her head and thier gaze met.
"Wanna tell me something?"
"I'm really proud of who you've become Lyric! I love the bound you and your kids shared! You're not hating on them anymore" Granny Lupe said
"That's all I'm the past now! I know it's hard to forget about all what happened to me, but I'll do it for thier sake! Right now! All I need is them for me to survive,even if I didn't get them like how I pictured,I'm happy they are my children"
"I don't want to see them go through what I've been through... I'll try my best to protect them! Always!"
"That's great my dear,and I'll always be here to protect you" Granny Lupe smile and kiss her hair.
"Thanks nanny,what will I ever do without you?" Lyrics hugged her.
"It's nothing! It's my duty to always take care of you" Granny Lupe hugged her back
"I love you nanny!"
"I love you too!"

Mikaela got down from her car and the students started passing comments on her dress.
It's had always been like that.
"What time will your class end Ma'am?" The driver asked her.
"I'll just call you when you're done!" Mikaela grabbed her bag as the driver drove off
"Bestie!! Micky?!!" Eclipse waved,rushing to her
She got to her,and they hugged.
Eclipse broke the hug shortly and adjust her headphone. In her usual baggy jeans and oversized shirt as usual.
She's the type of girl who hates girly stuff alot,make ups,lashes,not even a dress.
Even with that, she's one of the prettiest in the school,she's the next after Mikaela.
They are her bestfriends,since Highschool.
"Guess what?!!" She gushed as they both started entering the school
"You've a new crush for this week? What's his name and his department? What year is he in?" Mikaela threw her questions
"Micky!!" Eclipse snapped
"What?"
"Why do you think I was going to say that?" Eclipse pouted
"Of course it's you! Micky's one and only bestie! You change crushes every week,it's nothing new babe. So tell me who the Lucky guy is!" Mikaela said
Eclipse pulled down her headphone down to her neck before showing Mikaela her phone.
"He said he's gonna show himself to you today? Whao! After all this months? I'm so happy for you bîtch!" Mikaela gushed and they both started jumping
The students passing the hallway staring at them but they cared less.
Eclipse dipped her hand in her back,and brought out a star shaped fluffy teddy.
"I know right! I really can't wait to see his chilsed jawline and cute dimple like he described! he said he's gonna show up here with this so we can easily recognize! he's got one too" Eclipse grimaced.
"I don't think you'll be that happy to see him!" Mikaela tapped her and pointed at the guy standing behind them.
"Why?!" Eclipse raised her brows and turned to the guy,her eyes widened at once,she couldn't even close her mouth when he eyes landed on the same star shaped fluffy teddy with the guy.
"What the f*ck is this? Don't tell me you're froggy?" She gasped in shock
"Of course I'm froggy! And you must be Puppy? Right?" The guy reference to as froggy smile making his chubby cheeks bounced out
"No! You must be joking! You can't be my froggy! Froggy was supposed to be skinny and tall handsome guy,, where is my chilsed jawline and cute dimple?? You've got to be kidding me?" Eclipse screamed
"Those were my brother pics! I thought you won't like me if you knew I'm fat and ugly! But don't worry we're just slightly different,I still have his face. What matter is I love you puppy!" Froggy held Eclipse
"Mummy!!! A frog just said he loves who! How dare you lie to me? How dare you? Just when I thought I've finally met the one!" Eclipse snapped and Froggy stepped back
Mikaela who has been watching the scene,while trying to hold her laughter.
"I'm sorry angel eyes!! Just give me the chance to make it up to you,I truly love you with all my heart" He made to touch her again but her glare stopped him
"Stop calling me that and never contact me ever again! I'm blocking you right now! F**k love and f*ck you! I hate fatsos you ain't my type so f*ck off pregnant boy!" Eclipse shot and threw the teddy down. She started walking away.
He made to go after her but Mikaela stopped him.
"I'll talk to her don't worry! I'm sure she feel the same way about you,infact she loves you more,madly!" She assured and a smile formed his lips.
"Thank you!"
Mikaela nodded and went after Eclipse.
"Angel eyes!" She didn't know when she broke into laughter,on her way.
❃✧❃✧❃
Leonardo car halted in front of the building and four of his Bodyguard got down first,then he stepped out with Princeton beside him.
If you knew how the house looks,there won't be need to talk about how the company looks like.
All the staffs in the floor bowed completely, till he got to his office.
"Boss!" Princeton called and he turned.
"The meeting right? When is it starting?" Leonardo asked
"It has started, they've been waiting for you" Princeton announced
"Alright! Lead the way!" He replied and Princeton did as he said.
It's not surprising on how they both clicked pretty well,compare to how he treat his other workers.
He treated Princeton differently.
To Leonardo, he's like a good companion and friend to him.
They got to the meeting room,and all the board members stood at once to welcome him.
They weren't expecting him to really show up at a company meeting, he had never did.
Leonardo went to seat at the seat meant for the president and he signalled them to sit.
"It's really surprising to see you here Mr President!" Mr Ling, one of the board member said with a smile.
"So true! We're really glad to have you here! It's meant a lot" Mrs Ryder added.
"Who said I'm here for the meeting?" Leonardo said and Mr Ling brows ceased.
"If you're here it's only means it's to join us for the meeting? Or do you have another business here?" Mr Brown chirped in.
"Of course! I'm here to tell you to go on with the meeting without me! I won't be joining you! I payed you'll right? Then one of you should pretend you're me and act my role. Just make sure the person matches my looks" He stood and shoved his hand in his pocket,before started walking out.
"Wait what?" The board members mumbled among themselves.
