The Twelve
Balloons
Thank you for the giving me the chance to love you again...
I will always love you...
Even until the end of the world and your light fades just like the death
of a star.
Forever may not exist between the two of us
but our love for each other and our memories with each other will last
for a lifetime.
Chapter 1
Hi! I'm Sean
Skyler Salazar. (Please don't make an acronym out of that) 17 years
old, son of the COO of DEPB Clothing Company and the stockholder of
Riley International University, the university where I study. I'm a
part time model, Math and Science club president and our university's
middle school basketball captain. I may be a consistent honor student
but I really hate the subjects Filipino and TLE. Why? One of the
reason is that, I placed three cups of iodized salt in the cake that
we were baking instead of putting confectionery sugar. Also, my
grades in those subjects are the reason why I became first honorable
mention and not the Valedictorian of our batch when I was in
elementary and up to now I'm suffering from that. Moving on, I love
to dance, but I've never shown my skills in that, maybe I still have
a stage fright. When I was in kindergarten, I forced myself to recite
the poem, “You're all bright and beautiful” in front of our
entire school but I fainted just before reciting the first line.
If you're
wondering about my looks, I'm 5'8 in height, my eyes are of almond
shape and they are of color brown. My teeth was like of a vampire so
when I was in third grade, they made me wear these braces, which I
want to remove now because it's affecting the way I utter words. I
also have a straight hair that still goes back to it's morning look
even if I brush it. To summarize it, I'm tall and handsome but not
dark, I'm like the boy-next-door. Speaking of the word ”next-door”,
I have this girl neighbor that I really like, she's pretty, bubbly,
and kind...
And also a cute crybaby.
*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.*

Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything.
Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored.
They had no idea.
Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board.
She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
