Have you ever been in a worst case scenario, where your once wealthy family becomes suddenly poor and begins eating from hand to mouth, and how you have to take on so many part time jobs just to fend for both yourself and your entire family? Well that was the case of LALISA MANOBAN, popularly known and called Lisa. She is a pretty nineteen years old and the only child of her parents. She and her family are from Thailand, but they had to move to Australia, because of her father's job which he later lost. She is a white skinned girl, with beautiful brown eyes, long lashes and also long black hair, which she made the front into bangs as her signature look. She is tall and slim in figure, and still had the killer shapes to make any guy go crazy. But all this beauty was hidden behind baggy clothes and huge trousers why?? Because our adorable female lead is a tomboy and she even acts like one!! Lisa's father came home one day that he had lost his work in the oil company. He was the general manager of the company, in charge of overseeing the funds and finances of the company, but all of a sudden something went wrong and he was instantly fired. Not too long after, he became in debt and highly burdened by his once light weighted responsibility, and had to borrow money from a gangster loan shark who borrows people money willingly, adds a lot of interest so they won't pay back and sends his boys to harass and beat them up. He used his wife's mini bar, which was their family's only source of income, as a collateral for the money he borrowed. Lisa's Dad tried so hard to get another job but all that was available, he began working on a construction site, but quited when he was involved in an accident that claimed one of his legs, since then he became idly useless because no one wanted to hire a disabled man. When it was time to pay back the money he owed to the loan shark he had no choice than to handover his wife's shop as a collateral, little did he know that an interest has been added to it which is even more higher than the amount he borrowed. Because he couldn't pay up the interest, every night by 8pm the thugs would appear and beat him up for twenty minutes before going back to their base. He became saddened and his situation became worse when his now jobless wife became a chronic drunkard and also a gambler. She never seizes to oppress and terrorize him whenever she sees him, because his sight alone angers her. Lisa had to shoulder her dad's responsibility at the age of fifteen, so that she would be able to fund his hospital bills and also send herself back to school. Now she is nineteen and ready to go back to school, an agile crazy girl who doesn't let people take her for granted. No damn person could stomp on her and go scott free. Amidst that crazy personality stood a young girl of wild dreams, and the greatest of all her dreams was that she wanted to become a student in her dream school, a school meant for the rich and not the poor. Finally another scholarship session came and after applying for the second time that year she was accepted, but she still needed to gather more money for her textbooks and writing materials which was surprisingly very expensive, because it was to be purchased in the school and nowhere else. After striving to get into the school, she finds out that all she dreamt and thought about the school, was not really what she expected, and things even become worse when she finds herself entangled between the two most popular boys in the school, who are most likely arch enemies

Chapter 1 ARROGANT GUESTS

"THE MANOBAN'S HOUSE"

(6:40)

Lisa stood in front of the sink in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes she had earlier washed.

Prrrahh!!

She heard from their tiny living room, but she ignored it as she continued what she was doing. She wasn't ready to be late to her part time jobs today. She has six part time jobs actually.

"What do you think you're doing eating food in this house! After becoming jobless and ruining me along with your unfortunate self, you think you still have a right to dine in this house!!!". Her Mom Lydia yelled drunkenly from the living room. It was so early in the morning but she was already drunk.

She actually pushed her husband Tae who was using clutches, to the floor and that was what caused the noise Lisa heard in the kitchen.

"What's your problem Lydia!! It's my daughter who made the meal with her own money. Why are you so pained about it!!". Mr Tae yelled trying to stand on his feet, but his wife kicked him back to the floor and he fell again, groaning in pain.

"Who gave you the damn right to speak to me in that tone motherf**r!! You should be glad you're not dead yet even after going through so much misfortune!!". Lydia yelled giving him a sharp kick on the head and Take groaned more.

Lisa continued with her business and when she was done with the cleaning, she grabbed her black cap she kept by her side and placed it on her head then she left for the living room.

She was putting on a white tube (as an inner wear). The elastic bond by the hem of the tube was tagged with the brand CELINE, her favorite fashion brand. She topped it with a huge black jacket and a baggy Celine trouser with black and white sneakers.

When she got there her parents had already calmed down. Her Mum was sitting on the couch smoking devilishly as she released the smokes through her nose, while her Dad was still on the floor slightly bleeding from his head as a result of his wife's kick.

Lisa picked up her wallet bag from the couch, placed it around her head, and also helped her father up took him to her room gave him a clean cloth to tend to his wound and locked him inside, before picking up her skateboard which she hanged by their crappy door and made to leave for work.

That was the measure she took everyday to prevent her Mom from killing him before she got back from her job.

"You're leaving for your crappy jobs again?". Her mom muttered another cigarette when Lisa made to walk out the main door with her ride on her left hand.

"The crappy jobs feed you". Lisa replied as she made to leave.

"Don't tell me you still plan on going to that school?". Lydia grinned standing up and Lisa faced her.

"So what?". Lisa asked.

"Honey, I might not be a good mom to you but I won't lie to you, that school is really far-fetched and you won't be able to meet up with the expenses. Just focus on taking good care of us and paying off your father's debt. You can't waste your life fantasizing about a school that can fund the whole of Australia. Our lives are already ruined. There's no two ways about it". Her mum grinned tapping her on the shoulder.

Lisa shrugged her hand from her shoulder, glaring deeply at her.

"Yours and Dad's life might have been ruined but not mine!". She snapped meanly before leaving the house as she rode on her skate, and her mum just glared at her back side.

"Tae!!". Her mum yelled walking towards Lisa's room as she began violently banging on the door.

"You think you can hide behind your daughter forever, Come out here if you have a little bit of manliness in you!!". Lydia yelled, banging the door with her whole strength.

"Tae!!". She yelled again adding more efforts but all to no avail.

♥✿✿♥✿✿♥✿✿♥

Lisa had skated thirty miles down the block, when she began hearing faint footsteps behind her.

She turned to see who it was but the person hid. She smirked when she suspected who it might be and continued walking.

Suddenly the person made to attack her with a knife from behind, but she swiftly turned and caught his hand midway bending his wrist tightly and he groaned.

"What's with you and attacking from the shadows?". Lisa smirked, twisting the wrist of the huge chubby dude before her more tightly.

"Let go of me you b**ch!!!". Blake groaned and Lisa let go of his wrist, he tried to attack her again but she gave him a quick kick which made him stagger backwards.

"We'll talk about your money when I get back I'm late for work". She muttered and made to leave.

"If i don't get my full cash tonight, then you can say goodbye to your lovely Tatiana". Blake smirked and Lisa gave him a deadly glare.

"If there's anything I don't joke with in this world it's Tatiana. So try any shit with her and i will show you the stuff I'm made of". Lisa glared and with that she got on her skateboard and off she went.

"How dare that little thing threaten me!". Blake scoffed in rage as he glared at her, while she skated away.

"LARRY'S KITCHEN"

Lisa slowly stopped her skateboard right in front of the restaurant. It was her first part time job for the day actually. She hid the skateboard secretly behind a huge garden flower pot, and then she sneaked her way in going directly to the Staffs locker room.

It wasn't a huge restaurant but it wasn't small either. It was made to fit the tastes of middle class people. But the rich? Hmm not so much.

She took off her huge jacket leaving her in only her white armless tube, before quickly putting on a nice apron, she switched her cap with the restaurant's own which was red in color, and after locking all her stuff in her locker, she sneaked her way into the kitchen.

She was late and she knew that. Her boss Mr Larry isn't the type that tolerates consistent lateness and slackishness, and among all his five workers she was the one who gave him more to complain about.

She knew he wouldn't dare fire her even if she came during their closing hours, because she had successfully won the hearts of most of his trusted customers and he wasn't ready to lose them.

"Where have you been Lisa? Larry asked of you and I had to tell him you were busy answering to the deliveries". Her only friend Jack spoke when she walked in.

Jake is a twenty year old orphan who lives and feeds on his own. He has been friends With Lisa for a year now. They became close when Lisa saved him from some gangsters who ambushed him in the dark alley.

"Something came up that's why". She muttered packing some orders into trays as she went to serve the customers.

"Some workers are just hopelessly picky!". Lisa snapped walking into the kitchen as she arranged the new section of orders in their respective trays. While Jake just chuckled, he was actually doing the dishes.

"When did you arrive Lisa?". Mia, their co-worker asked as her gaze ransacked her suspiciously. Isla and Zoey stood behind her glaring deeply at Lisa who left what she was doing, and prepared for a fight.

"You didn't really want to answer the deliveries like your dog stated, did you?". Mia smirked and the girls behind her giggled, they could pass as her minions.

"Call him that again". Lisa threatened, slowly walking towards them ignoring Jake who tried pulling her back, and they took a step backward.

"Why? Do you think I'm afraid of you? You might be a crazy but I'm a f**king bitch also!!". Mia yelled and Lisa scoffed.

"You're truly nothing but a f**king b**ch, so it's best you stay away from Jake, you're just in pain because he rejected you no matter how many times you tried seducing him with your flat butt!!". Lisa snapped loudly and Mia's eyes widened.

"I thought you said you hated him Mia?". Zoey mumbled.

"Yeah, you said he was too ugly and unattractive". Isla muttered and Lisa smirked at Mia.

"I...i...really..find..him..unattractive he's so not my type!!". Mia yelled in frustration and left the kitchen, as her friends followed her.

"That good for nothing b**ch...". Lisa wasn't done talking when her phone pinged. It was a message from Geelong high school.

"I got in!!". She yelled in excitement.

"You got in where?". Jake asked with confusion written on his face.

"Where else Geelong high!!". Lisa yelled hugging Tae tightly.

"Are you for real? After a series of trials they let your dumb self in??". Jake gasped, breaking the hug, and Lisa frowned at him.

"What do you mean by my dumb selg??". She glared.

"Cmon Lisa, you didn't pass the cut off mark in your first trial". Jake teased.

"I was only six marks short! That doesn't qualify me as a dumb ass!!". Lisa yelled, pulling Jake's ear tightly and he winced in pain.

"Okay...okay..you're very knowledgeable can you let go of my ear now, it really hurts!!". Jake

groaned and she let go of his ear.

"Damn you trying to make me go deaf!". Jake snapped nursing his now red ear with his palms.

"Should I pull it again!!". Lisa threatened going closer and he shifted back instantly.

"So what's really your score....?". Jake made to ask but was interrupted by the noise that came from the customers in the main space as they went to check it out.

👥 Woah who are they!!

👥 They are so handsome!!

👥 They don't look like they're from here!!

👥 Now I'm happy i didn't miss this sight for anything in the world!!

Mia, Isla and Zoey fought for who was going to attend to their strange customers, and Isla finally won while the other girls stood glaring at her, as she made her way towards the customers with the restaurant menu in her hand.

"Is this the quiet place you were referring to Aiden??". Dylan glared, staring at the whole area with disdain in his emerald green eyes.

"Damn this little dump hole is a mess!!". Oliver glared, then turned his deadly gaze to Aiden who bought them there.

"Don't give me that look. You guys asked for a quiet place to have lunch, and since I had nowhere in mind I just brought us to the closest restaurant, I'm also disappointed staring at this disgusting sight before me". Aiden let out a disgusting look, and the others sighed deeply as they even made to puke when they saw the flirtatious eyes directed at them by the female customers.

"I have never been more disappointed in my...". Aiden made it to finish but was interrupted when Isla walked up to them adjusting her short skirt to make them look even shorter, and then he smirked while Dylan and Oliver glared.

"Hi I'm Isla, your special server for today". Isla blushed and the guys scoffed in annoyance.

"Come let me show you to your seats". Isla smiled, as she led the way it's obvious she didn't realize the disdain look in their faces.

"Here's our restaurant menu, just tell me your orders and I will be sure to bring them to you" Isla smiled and made to leave.

"How much for a night?". Aiden smirked alongside his friends and Isla turned with widened eyes.

"What..did..you..just..say?". Isla stuttered.

"You heard us right. And why are you so shocked about it? Are you a kid??". Dylan glared. He hated her sight and everything around her, it was unpleasantly too poor for his liking.

"With the way you adjusted your short skirt it's obvious you came to seduce us, so why the shocked reaction". Oliver asked with a raised eyebrow and Isla immediately broke into tears then she ran to the kitchen while her friends who watched everything laughed out loudly.

"Serves her right". Lisa smirked from where she stood watching with Jake.

"Lisa!!". Mr Larry called and She turned to face him, saluting teasingly.

"Go attend to the new guys". Mr Larry muttered and Lisa's eyes widened.

"But why her, I will willingly attend to them!!". Mia yelled.

"Yes it's obvious Isla's babyish look annoyed them and that's why they insulted her". Zoey snapped and Isla who was crying at the corner glared at her.

"I've made my choice". Mr Larry muttered and made to leave.

"It's no problem, as long as we all respect ourselves everything will be fine". Lisa muttered as she picked the menu Island dropped and left the kitchen to attend to their unruly guests.

Mafia

The TIGERS!! The same name that makes many, including lawmakers tremble or even pee on themselves each time they have even just the slightest contact with them and also makes both toxic women and teenagers wet by just a short glance. The biggest Mafia Clan in the whole world, with lots of members and connections in their disposal. They're even more feared than the devil himself, and the reason is not because they have well trained fighters under them, but mainly because of their leaders, THE TIGER BROTHERS. Respectively consisting of: Don Alanzo Tiger (The first under boss) Don Diego Tiger (The second under boss) Don Rodrigo Tiger (The third under boss) and Don Ronaldo Tiger (The fourth and last under boss) They're all quadruplets and 28 years olds, with striking handsome features and not too identical resemblance. Each of them are never mistaken for each other, because the only way one could tell them apart is based on their aura and temper. While Alanzo was the cold and mysterious type, the rest of his brothers were more loud and hot-tempered (But their temper had levels, and Diego topped the list). The only thing in their minds was the lowkey competition they had with each other and how to dethrone the other, but mostly their targets were dethroning Alanzo first. The brothers finally saw light in their thirst for more power when the Godfather (Their narcissist grandfather) summoned them to acquire a life prolonging boot, buried in the dept of the city and promised whoever acquired the boots first his next of kin not caring whether it was well deserved or not, which only made the dons more interested in the mission, including coded Alanzo himself who thought acquiring the boots would make his brothers knows who truly rules their world. But on that graceful night where the mission was to take place, someone unexpected from nowhere took it before their eyes and ever since they vowed to hunt down whoever it was and make them pay dearly with his\her life for double-crossing them. Who's this someone? The pretty girl vile and daring enough to tamper with the TIGERS??

"Ming over here!! The last demon is over here!!". Jade screamed jumping over the barricade into the forest and Ming's eyes widened going after her. "Jade! Come back now, that's the forbidden forest!!". Ming screamed, staying in his lane, since he was too scared to go over the barricade like his friend. Meanwhile Jade was in a world of her own. All through the afternoon she and Ming had slayed only one demon now, it's remaining the last one and she must slay it so as to get paid and also get a power boost. The demon was behind a tree next to a huge rock. It was oblivious of her presence otherwise it would have come for her so she quietly tiptoed closer to it, hiding behind the mysterious rock next to the tree the demon was, she prepared to strike with her huge iron spear in her hand, but when she made to throw the spear and kill the demon it mistakenly fell to the ground which alerted the demon, and the demon instantly sighting her, charged towards her with it's long claws and teeth it was at the verge of ruthlessly tearing her up. When she swiftly and smartly removed a mysterious sword from the huge rock she had earlier hid behind, and slayed the demon with the sword making it disappear immediately shocking Jade herself as she stared at the mysterious sword in her hand. "If it was my spear the demon would only die but the body won't disappear". Jade muttered in puzzlement as she stared at the sword like a novice, then smiled cunningly. "I'm pretty sure it will cost a lot, gosh I'm so lucky!!". Jade jumped in excitement only for a loud thunder to boom followed by a huge lightning from the sky almost striking her and she screamed out rushing to hide behind a rock. "It seems you love daring me Damien!! I seized the sword from you cause you used it in slaying too many demons now you took it to slay another one?!! I'll surely make sure you perish now!!". A huge voice boomed from the sky followed by another lightening and Jade's eyes widened. She looked away giving in to death only for a powerful figure to appear right in front of her, his firm marvelous back facing her as he held the lightening with his own surprisingly massive powers his long hair and cloak flying behind him and Jade sighed in relief admiring his good back features, but didn't take long before standing to her feet and running for her life. After the whole catastrophe had been calmed, the Emperor turned to see who it was he had just saved, but a frown fell on his face when he saw no one. "Find her and bring her to me". The Emperor ordered coldly to his right hand man who bowed before disappearing..
