This is the most awaited moment of my life. Finally, I graduated high school! I'm debuting now! But even though I don't have much time to prepare for these two occasions, I still have a big and beautiful reason to rejoice!

"Congratulations graduates!" The speaker said and after that, the students who graduated with me stood up and cheered. It was raining graduation caps so I covered my head to avoid lumps.

I turned around and no one was cheering for me. I hope my Mama and Papa are still alive so that they can see that their unica hija has finished high school. I looked at my watch, it was four o'clock! That means I have to go home.

I don’t have time to celebrate with my classmates, no time for goodbyes! I didn't even wait for the picture taking and I hurried out of the venue, I was in a hurry and bumped into a familiar person.

"Sorry." I stared at him and then I realized what I had bumped into Prince Dustin Blake! The prince in the story of my life! "Ow Em Ji! So-sorry!"

But he just smiled at me. He flashed his killer smile on me! And I died in an instant! "It's okay." Only once this chance! He was my batchmate and became my classmate. But not once was I able to talk to him and confess my feelings for him. The reason why is....~

"Dustin!" A princess-like woman approached in our direction. "Elysse." Then they hugged in front of me. "Congratulations!"

"Congrats too! There's a party in my house so be there!"

"Sure!"

*Elysse Fabel. If you ask who she is, she is the only princess in the story of my life. Will she marry Dustin? Yes. But I'm the only one who believe that! No one knows!

But because both of them are perfect in any aspect and perfect for each other, I have no right to protest to the two of them.

They don't pay attention to me anymore because who am I, right ?! And since my role in this scene was not important, I left immediately. It's also hard to spend the night coming home because I'm sure my Aunt will be really Mad*.

"What time is it!" My Auntie Seline scolded. "You forgot. I guess you have a lot of work to do here at home! Hey Alyanna, don't say you're a high school graduate, and you can do whatever you want!"

Obviously with her scary aura, she is the villain in the story of my life. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"It really won't happen again!" He dragged me into the kitchen while still breaking my eardrums non -stop.

"Hurry and cook, Do you think I'll do those?" Side comment by my Auntie's demonic daughter. She is my cousin Cerina, the supporting villain in this story.

I'm a graduate and I'm making my debut today. But here I am, serving my Auntie and her daughter whose hobby is enslaving me. And take note, there still here in my own house!

My late parents owned the place where we lived. But I was still young, so I had no choice but to endure the abuse of my relatives. I'm just used to it.

Everything has an end! And the end of my suffering will happen tomorrow. No delay, it's really tomorrow! So after my works, I took a break immediately to prepare for the changes that would happen in my life. I woke up earlier for this special day.

Get up and I made my bed. I looked in the mirror and smiled Myself. "This is it, Yana!" I tried to be cute.

I was about to leave my room but when I opened the door, "Why is it so hard to open it?" It looks like something is blocking from the outside and when I peeked below, my suspicion was correct. Only one person I thought would do such a prank.

"Hey Cerina! Get me out of here! ”But it took me a while to scream and rattle is still nothing happening.

With the noise I was making, my Auntie must have woken up earlier and climbed on me to wake me up. Or she should have bathed me with icy water because by this time, I should have been working.

But nothing happened. It was quiet outside and there seemed to be no one else inside the house.

I waited another hour or so. I'm just wandering around in my room, I know something's wrong here and I'm nervous about what I'm thinking.

I sat up in my bed and covered my face with my hand. At because of what I did, I noticed something strange. “What's this ink on

my fingers? ”It was as if fingerprints had taken me without me knowing.

I calmed myself down to be able to think. "No! That's not possible!" But because of the nervousness, I could do nothing but shiver as I stared at my inked fingers. "Will they try to steal Mama and Papa's inheritance from me?

"But only fingerprints are missing! They'll need my signature! "I looked crazy talking to myself. I tried to convince myself that they wouldn't be able to steal it because it's safe in the bank. But there's only one way to be sure!

Get out of this room and the only way is to go through windows.

I started tying whatever I could use to get down from here to the third floor of the house. I peeked out the window to see how high I could fall just in case.

"You can do it, Yana! You can do it!" Even though the rope was hanging, I dared to go down. But when I reached the end of the rope I had made, I just prayed for a moment and bravely jumped.

"ouch!!" I fell in the garden. I tried stood up and, "Am I alive?" I had a few scars but I didn't break a rib, hip or ankle! "I'm still alive! Woohoo!" I'm alive and I was able to survive that death jump, but this is not yet the right time to celebrate. I have already entered inside the house and I was shocked when I reached and found nothing.

I ran to Auntie and my cousin's room but they were gone too. It was as if a thief had cleared away our belongings and left nothing! How did they do that? "Where are they now? Why did they leave me? I'm the one who should have left them!"

I'm on my knees. My fear and suspicion intensified. The money my parents inherited from me that I could have gotten now that I am of legal age, they might have taken it.

Even with no food or no change clothes yet, I ran out to go to the bank. I ran a few kilometers on foot.

And when I came to the bank, "I'm sorry ma'am but the account has been closed. When the bank just opened earlier, someone claimed all the money and other assets contained in the account."

Gradually I felt tired of running. My feet and now my chest is starting to tighten.

"How did that happen?"

"They submitted documents stating that Miss Alyanna Rohan is transferring all her properties to her relative Mrs. Seline Rohan. This, please check." The woman showed me the documents she was saying and I signed them. No one will think it's fake!

I felt a mixture of depression and anger! I closed my eyes but tears were still dripping from my eyes.

All my dreams, suddenly disappeared! They stole the money that I would have used for my college studies. I no longer have the dream of a new life.

By the way, I'm Alyanna Rohan. The protagonist in a meaningless story and seems to have no destination in life!

I cried as I walked back to the house. What do I do now? I don't know how to revive myself. I had no money and I could no longer continue my studies.

When I got home, I felt even more tired and hungry. I lay on the floor and looked around our empty house.

I thought hard, I had to plan. What's the point of being an honor student if I don't use my brain? I can't just sneeze here! Besides, "I still have a place to live. I still have the house that Mom and Dad left"

And there are other things I can sell. The things in my room and the table and chairs that were blocking my door earlier I can sell. I'll just leave some clothes for myself.

I picked up all the belongings alone and carried them to the door. The money I get here I will use to find a job. And I will also search wherever on the continent are my shameless relatives went! I will take back everything they stole from me!

"What the hell happened!" Mrs. Highblood suddenly appeared. She was hooked on Auntie Seline's gamble. So Mrs. Highblood is his nickname because her blood is always warm to me. When she was still visiting here. "Did the thief enter your house?" she asked.

I want her to answer that the thieves themselves are Auntie Seline. But I stopped talking. "Where are your other things in the house? Where is your aunt"

"They've left. They've left me."

"bitch! You still owe me a lot! Did you know that this old house of yours has already been mortgaged because she lost the gamble!"

"What?" Suddenly the weight I was carrying increased. Auntie left huge debt and what's worse, she mortgaged my house! My house!

"No one can pay more than half a million you owe." My eyes almost popped out at the amount of the money Mrs. Highblood. "And since you're her nephew, you should pay for that."

I thought I wouldn't cry anymore but here are the tears again, little by little dripping again. "Why should I pay? Auntie Seline is in the one who has dept with you. And besides, I don't have any money "

" You won't pay your Auntie's debt?" She grabbed his cellphone and dialed a number. While doing so, one of his fingers pointed at me. "If you don't pay, I'll hand you over to my police brother!"

I got on my knees in front of her. I'm not at fault but why is she blaming me? "I don't know where I can get the money to pay you. Even I, I don't know how to raise myself. Please give me time. I'll find them Auntie so they can pay you."

But Mrs. Highblood has a heart like stone.

So durable and tough! He could not go through the plea and now she is talking to her police brother.

I knew that no matter what I begged, she would not listen to me. It occurred to me that she and Auntie Seline might just conspire. But whatever the truth, they want to oppress me. I am the disadvantage.

I slowly moved away from her. And then I ran away.

"Hey Alyanna! Come back here!" Mrs. Highblood shouted, but I just sped up my pace even though I had nothing to carry for myself. "I'll put you in jail!" That was the last threat I heard.

I was panting and still gasping for breath. I do not know where I am now.

The wound on my foot doubled, my knee was still scarred because I fell several times due to the accident. I was weak and my tears were flowing non -stop.

It was dark and I could no longer think clearly. I thought yesterday, I will be happy today.

I wish I could get what my parents inherited from me.

My dreams have vanished like bubbles! My dream is to make life more comfortable, my dream is to be happy! I didn't know what I was going to do and I also didn't know how I was going to find a job.

Suddenly the rain began to fall and became even stronger! I looked up at the sky, I didn't even see a star or any light. Even heaven, gives me trouble! I trembled at the force of the wind and had no shelter.

Then I noticed that I was walking in the middle of a bridge. I peeked at what was beneath it and I saw a dirty river, I was floating and seemed to be losing my sanity. "This is the end of all my problems?" I was crying but it was no longer obvious because of the raindrops hitting my face.

"Mama, Dad, I can't do it anymore.I'm already struggling and I miss you so much. "I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Death is the only end to my problems.

I let my body lose its balance to finally fall off the bridge. I just prayed in my mind that if my soul could not go to heaven, they would allow me to see my parents again even one last time.

"Hey!" Suddenly someone pulled at my clothes so I didn't get what I wanted. "It's just a kid! Are you going to kill yourself?" An old grumpy man stopped me.

"Leave me alone! I want to die!"

I wish I had committed suicide but he stopped me again.

He is old but he is still strong!

"What a stubbornness ! Don't you know how deep the river you're going to cross?"

"That's good so I'm sure I'll die!"

When I shouted, he slapped me so hard! "Respect me! I'm older than you!" Then with his cane, he beat me. "Does it hurt? Huh?" It was one after the other and he hit harder and harder. "Oh that, have you come to your senses!"

I don't know him and I also don't know why he stopped me. But even if he hurts me and scolds me,I feel like he's just worried.

He dragged me away from the bridge. When he found shelter, he forced me to sit down and preach. "Who told you you can take your life back like that? You have no right!"

"I'm just sorry for the life that was lent to me." I was kicked again of the old man because of my answer.

"Don't be a philosopher! No matter how big your problem is, you still shouldn't choose suicide!" I looked at him because he seemed to be crying while saying that. "Look at me, even though I only live on the street, I enjoy life."

Because of this, I was no longer ashamed to tell him what I was going through. "How can I be happy if my problems are multiplied? After my parents died, the rest of my relatives enslaved me. I accepted that, because I knew I could get up too.

But they stole the money my parents inherited from me! I can no longer continue to study. They even mortgaged my house without my knowledge! And most of all, maybe the police are looking for me now with the amount of debt they left me. "I covered my face because my tears seemed to fall on the raindrops again." How can I live? I don't even know how to start again. I want to find a job but no one will accept me! My life is worthless! "

The old man just sighed as he listened to my miserable life. "Young people really today, simple problem, discouraged immediately!"

"I know you're older and have more experience than me. But you can't blame me!"

He get something from his pocket and handed me a clean white handkerchief. I would like to ask how he managed to hide a DRY and CLEAN handkerchief in his pocket. Then, he also handed me a piece of paper. "Here, take it." I opened the paper and had a name and address written on it.

"Brylle Zaffiro? Who is this?"

“The question is, do you know how to go to that address?"

"The place is familiar. It's easy to go but what am I going to do here?"

"Do you want a job? You can find one there". He stood up and put his hand on my shoulder. He seemed to be saying that everything would be okay . After that, he would have left but I still have a lot to ask him.

"Wait, Grandpa! Can this person give me a job? What kind of job? And how did you know that"

" A lot of questions! Just go! "I was stunned by

mouth. Grandpa seemed busy and he was really in a hurry to leave.

But I was naughty, I still chased him. "Grandpa! What's your name? "

Grandpa has stopped walking. When he turned his back on me, he just smiled at me. At the same time, suddenly there was thunder and lightning so strong that I closed my eyes. It was only for a while but when I open my eyes again, the old man was gone.

"Where's Grandpa now?" I looked for him but I could not find even a shadow of him. Isn't that a ghost?

I shook my head and stopped threatening myself. Can a ghost give a handkerchief and paper?

I opened the paper and read what's written on it . "Brylle Zaffiro." Who is he? And can this person really help me?

That old man is really weird, but I can't help but follow and rely on what he said that Brylle Zaffiro he's referring to will be given the job. Here I am now, walking in the yard of his house.

The house in front of me was like a mansion. But why does no one seem to live? Very old, withered plants around and most of all, like a haunted house!

When I got to the front door, I was about to knock when it suddenly opened on its own! Creepy.

I hesitated to enter but eventually, I went straight inside.

"hello!"

*bang*

"Hwaaaah!" Suddenly the door closed! I was starting to have trouble breathing out of fear. I could do nothing but talk to myself. "Don't move, Yana! Only children believe in ghosts and haunted houses"

The whole house is moldy! Surely no one lives here anymore! Grandpa, why did he cheat on me?

Later on, I heard a man's voice. "Ahem!"

"Who are you and Did anyone allow you to enter our land?"

"An old man is send me here. I'm looking for Brylle Zaffiro." It's like I'm talking to the wind, I can't see where and who I'm talking to.

Later, I heard a man's voice. They were whispering, but I didn't seem to hear them talking either.

"Is Master Lorcan the one she's referring to?"

"Sure! It's an old man!"

"How can we be sure?"

"Life contract, Master!"

"Hmm ... right. You're right!"

Who is Master Lorcan? And what about life contract.

I don't really have a good feeling about this place.

"Sirs, I'm going to leave! It looks like I went to the wrong place," I faced the door and forced it open. But when i try ,it's locked! "Just a moment!" A second voice stopped me.

I turned my back on him, but I could hear him walking closer to where I was. "What's your name?"

I swallowed and didn't want to look at him! Even though his voice sounded more handsome compared to the previous voice I heard, I was still scared. "A-Ana ." And I don’t want to say my real name! It's hard!

“Ana, I know you're lying

"How did you know? I'm not lying !"

"I'm an Empath" he said and his voice was a bit angry. "I have the ability to know if people are lying or not. I can feel your emotions."

"Your face! Who did you fool? Why should I believe you?" Then I remembered, I was scared. Maybe it's because a serial killer is fortifying this area. I shouldn't make him angry. "Um, just let me go safely, please? I don't know, I didn't see anything, I'm not at fault."

"Tsk! You know Brylle Zaffiro is the name of the person who lives in this house. Most likely, you already know something about the wonders we do here." My knees are shaking! He's really scary!" Tell me the truth, What's your name?"

"Ana ..." I heard him laugh "You're exhausting my patience."

I don't know why, but suddenly my whole body stiffened.Was it out of fear? No! I think I had a stroke and I couldn't move!

Even my fingers, I can no longer feel!

Slowly, I suddenly faced the person behind me. But weird because I'm not the one acting for myself,

It's like someone else is controlling my whole body! I just closed my eyes because I was scared of what was happening! What did I get into? How do they do these things?

"Where is your courage? Look up, look at me."

I don't want! I don't want to look at him! I was afraid of what I could see. Maybe later he looks like a zombie. I felt the man take something from my pocket. "It's Master Lorcan, is that right Vander?" Is he referring to the handkerchief?

"Yes, Master." The goon's voice answered him.

"If that's the case, woman, you're the one my Master sent. Open your eyes and look when I'm talking to you!"

I bit my lip so hard and had second thoughts. But I don't know what is happening now.I Slowly opened my eyes, and in front of me was a man almost as old as me but weird to dress.

He was tall, white, the tip of his nose and beautiful lips matched the shape of his face. He has an earring in his right ear and if there is anything strange about him, it is the inexplicable color of his eyes. It was shocking to stare at him. In short, he's handsome.

Not that I had nothing to say to him, I just couldn't really move my whole body and even my mouth. My eyes are the only ones I can move freely.

"Speak"

With one snap of his finger, I was finally able to open my mouth. I don't know how but I'm sure he does that.

"Speak up your name. And I'm warning you,I want your real name"

"Alyanna. I'm Alyanna Rohan."

He suddenly smirked. He already knew I was telling the truth. Then isn't he kidding?

"What are you? What are you doing to me? Why can't I move? How can you do this? Let me go. I'll forget everything-" Another signal of his hand automatically closed my mouth! "Hmmm?" I can't speak again!

"Vander, prepare the life contract."

"yes ,Master Brylle!"

Ow Em Ji! Vander?! The Vander with the goon voice earlier, showed up! His voice has also diminished because he is a gnome? VANDER IS A GNOME! Ow Em Ji uli! If I was just dreaming, I would have woken up!

What's even scarier, I'm already floating after them! Will they eat me? I'm just skin and bones so I'm sure they won't enjoy me!

And let's go back to Vander, I just saw a gnome! Has he been featured on TV? Eh but who is this man he calls Master? Brylle Zaffiro? Who is this man ?!

He took something out of his pocket and I was surprised when he pulled out a long cane! How did that fit in his pocket? Is he a magician? Is this just a magic trick? Why are they like this? What is going on!

We were already in front of a wall but Brylle Zaffiro did something with his cane, and in a flash there was a passage in front of us! My eyes just got bigger! This is impossible to be true! It's just a dream, Yana!

We entered an empty room. You wouldn't think it was part of the house I entered earlier because of the size of this place! The path he made suddenly closed and I was trapped with them.

"Alyanna Rohan."

He approached me. I burst into tears of fear. I still struggle convincing myself that it was all just a dream!

"Dispell" He mentioned it, once patting my nose. And when he did that, I fell to the floor. But I can also move freely.

I started screaming! "Hwaaah! Help! Please help me!"

"You want me to freeze you again? Shut up! "

"What are you? Who are you ?" Then I looked at Vander who was writing on a piece of paper. "Elf!" I panicked especially and ran to find another exit. But I couldn't see a path anymore, it was really just a wall.

I stumbled but did not fall to the floor.

I floated again! And it is Brylle Zaffiro that does that . "Is this telekinesis? Are you a mutant?" Maybe this man is just member of X-men.

"No, it's not telekinesis." He laughed, then he flew me closer to him again. "Calm down, okay? You're here for the job." And he let me down again.

"What job?"

"Work as a helper and housekeeper of my mansion. Whatever salary you ask, I'll give it. It's still free and you can live."

Will I believe him? That's too good to be true! "No! I can't accept! You! You're not human! How can you do that? And the one with you-" I looked at Vander.

"That elf is with you! You're not human! You're demonic!"

"Demonic? And you think we need a ****** for an offering?"

How did he know I was still a ****** ?! "Let me go! "

Brylle Zaffiro's eyes are already on me, He's obviously picky on me.

"If you don't want the job I'm offering, then we'll have no choice but to kill you." Kill me? They are murderers! "We can't just trust a mortal like you. You've seen a lot already. And one more thing, you're the one Master Lorcan sent here, You're left with no choice but to sign the contract and work for me or else -"

And instead of finishing what he was going to say, he pretended to slash my neck when I didn't agree to what he wanted.

My knees gradually weakened and I knelt down again in fear. "Tell me first what are you really?" Because if demon worshipers that they are, I will never allow!

"Vander is a Garden Gnome, my Elemental Guardian. And I'm Brylle Zaffiro, a Class B+ Wizard" Is what I heard right? A Garden Gnome and a Wizard? "We're neither good nor bad. Is that okay with you?"

"Master, the contract is ready!" Vander handed over a paper and Brylle read it. Then he flew the paper to me so I could read it too. It's written in strange letters but it's amazing that I understand them.

"That's a life contract. When you sign that, it means you're accepting my job offer." We stared at each other as he explained. "If you don't agree, you might just pick up your body in the hay. Now choose.Work or death?"
