POV: Aileene:

After two hours of English which was pretty boring. I pack my bag, putting my books inside of it. I stood up and startled as i see Matthew stood in front of me.

" do you have lunch?" he ask

"i don't eat lunch" i responded

"why?" he ask "is it because of your mother?" he ask again

"no, its not. i just don't normally eat lunch.." i faked a smile.

"okay... lets go!!" he says as he took my hand.

We walk to his hangout, it was a place outside, with benches on each side, a table in the middle it was covered by a roof. Matthew was still pulling me by my hand as i went still due to shyness. I sat down near him, waiting for some reasons.

Tonny and Max arrived under the place they Hangout. They see me and smiled, i shyly smiled back.

Tonny: "Hello, my name is Tonny its nice to meet you Aileene"

"I'm max" max says waving his hand a little.

"Its a pleasure to meet you guys too" i replied shyly.

Tonny look at Matt "She's cute" tonny says.

Matthew's expression changed a little, but he hides it with a smile and responded "she is, i'm glad i found her"

Tonny's expression was a little unclear, his eyes showed a slight glimpse of danger, it was rather scary. Max was watching from the sidelines, he's cheerful and happy smile could bring anyone's despair and hatred to the depth of the Abyss. It was a better vibe.

I held onto Matthew's hand under the table, tightly. He could feel my nervourness vibe, as he just smiled and start talking about another subject. They soon took out their lunches apart from me. I could feel their gazes on me, its so uncomfortable. I couldn't take it anymore, and stood up.

"i'm going to the bathroom, don't worry" i lied. I start to walk away in direction of the bathroom, and hid myself in one of the cabin. After i hid myself, i heard the door open and some voices.

n1: "seriouly, this girl is such a looser, why does she come from such a great campany, if my father wasn't a shareholder there, and if she wasn't a big industry i'll have already crushed her like an ant"

n2: " totally agree, i'll do the same"

n3: "since their marriage are just for business, should i flirt with Matty and be his mistress? i'm sure he'll found me more pretty than her" the third girl exclamed.

At this moment, i walk out of the cabin, the girls immediatly stop to talk as their faces showed smirks and chuckles. I stood up and confidently says "i'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but me and Matthew are not marrying because of business, and if you dare be his mistresses or flirt with him, i'll make your lives a living hell" i warned and walk out. I though, sometiime you got lie to hide the true intention behind. To me, this marriage was for business, for Matthew, it was a way to get him closer to me.

I look down at the floor, while walking in the hallway. I walk to my locker and opened it. I put my books and took my other ones for my next lesson. I walk back outside to the hangout and gets block by a group of intimidating students.

i look at them, and pause. I look at them, each by each, i look at their name tags and sigh. I wasn't scared of them, because i was once one of them in middle school, but who would of thought, that they would this time come to me?

I step away, and walk past them, on the side. I sneered, glancing at them. I then come back to my unusal self and walk back to the hangoug where the boys were. At my surprised, the girls from earlier had manage to get there before me, that was strange. I didn't really take it to much until i arrived and glared at the girls, the vibe from earlier had camed back, the danger in my eyes could make ones soul disappear from their body. People had heard of me from before, and i had quite a well known reputation. I was able to cross a line from right to wrong after i left the gang of 'bullies'.

The girls look at me in amusement, no matter how Matthew rejected them, they were still annoying him. I calmed down a little and walk to them "leave him alone, are you deaf, didn't you hear you rejection, you ugly piece of s****" I lashed out. "take your dumbass brain and your helpless brainless friends out of here!"

The blonde girl scoffed and walk away bringing along the two other girls. I sat down, not really happy.

matthew chuckle and says in my ear "are you jealous"

My cheeks flushed red as i stutter "i'm not, i just saved you and your friends' ass from those gold-diggers" i responded. I didn't want to admit wheither i was actually jealous or not, because i had myself no clue.

Matthew smiled and hugged me "we're at school!" i say, blushing even more.

He laugh and looks at me "you're cheeks are red, are you blushing?" he ask

"no, i'm not, i'm just cold" i lied, after i say those words, another layer of clothes were felt on my shoulder. I look over at you "are you not going to be cold?" i ask

"I won't be cold, i'll rather be cold than you" he responded.

The bell then rang, and we walk back to class, for another lesson of chinese. Its litterature and language aswell as history, very bothersome.

author's note:

thank you very much for supporting this far. I know my story is a bit confusing, i'm trying to make it less confusing. For the next chapter i will try put the 'point of view' on another character and then come back to Matt and Ailey.


now anothe thing. "why does she called the parents-in-laws" uncle and aunty?

well, in China, in-laws are mostly called by Aunty and Uncle for politeness, they also call close friends from the family (from parents) aunty and uncle for another act of politeness.


"why does she called them by "first master", "third miss", "big miss/master"? " well because in wealthy family such as for this story Shea. Have a lot of children. people will mostly call them by 'big miss/master' when they are the oldest and the go down to "second, third, fourth. fifth, sixth, etc'  that's all
