I'm yours, Professor (Quadro Series #2)

Chapter 52

"She dropped out?"

"Not really. Her foster family wants her back in the Philippines to take care of her."

She felt sadness coat her but what could she do? Her Mom comforted her until she fell asleep and when she woke up, the news explodes in her face like a bomb. She has been transferred to a new school. A school specialized for girls like her. With minor disabilities. Her fleeting blindness can be severe during day time. This means during class times.

Being in the new school is hard but meeting that guy who's the captain of the basketball team who takes care of you and is indifferent to others. It became bearable and being denied her father's love it's easy for her to fall in love. When it became too much she confess and yet got indirectly rejected. Sadness and despair she lashes out. She didn't know that her little emotional tantrum would change something inside of her.

"Promise me, you'll take care of my brother and after that let's see." The young man taunts the girl. "I'm much like him and if you can handle him, then you can handle me. I hate when my girlfriend can't take care of me properly."

The girl glimmer with hope. "Of course, I will!  I will never let you down – Hey!"

The young boy turn around, not letting the little woman finish her speech but despite that the woman was happy. Then that day came, she meet that young man's brother, and unexpectedly something sparkled. The other guy can't help but fall for her, the same way her brother did. The young man felt jealous seeing his brother and the girl he liked together but they look together and it look like her brother found someone who will be with him and take care of him. He's glad.

For a short period. The girl fell for him so did the young guy. They were happy but with the girl's charming smile and angelic face, it's not surprising that a devil can be attracted, and when tragedy struck the devil moves. The young girl needs surgery and the young guy need to leave for her sake. He knew how much she wanted to see the world, to see him but staying with her meant she can't see.

He left, without goodbye. His other brother forces him to. Bishop was getting worse and Luxifer can't leave his little brother alone in the foreign country. So he bribes him. Free surgery for the blind girl if he comes with them. Calcifer can't stand her crying for not being able to paint and see so he did. He left but his heart and mind were glued to the girl he left. His happiness. His little balloon. Lost from his grip.

Everyone knows once you lost the grip on your balloon it will float away never to be seen again. Or worse, someone will get it.

And someone did. He did. The devil fell for her. Who manipulated her and turn her parent into a wicked mess through money and power. They deceive her like it's nothing. Not an ounce of guilt. Slowly they rise but slowly Kennedy fell. Losing herself and everything about her. She's lost until someone finds her again.

And just like the first time they meet. Everything happen again.

"Hun. Look at these."

Nandito sila ngayon naka-upo sa kama nila. After they visited with Bishop agad silang umuwi pero hindi siya pinapansin ng binata. Bigla na lang ito natahimik, halos ayaw nga siya nitong kausapin. Nilalambing niya ito pero walang epekto sa binata. He's still stoic, pero kahit ganon alagang-alaga pa din siya. Iyon lang hindi siya pinapansin ni Calcifer. Even after they bathe. Calcifer just tuck her in before he stand up and pick up his attache case.
