Love And Lies

PROLOGUE

My mental health, physical health, my grades, my career and my dog Lulu. These are the only things I cared about in this world full of despair.

I never cared about anyone else aside from what I've said. Why? Because everybody did the same. No one in this world holds a kind heart, a peaceful mind, and a clean soul. This world is full of greedy individuals, who only thinks about themselves, who uses powers to conquer everything, who lies to earn titles, who wear a different mask to be adored, who became thieves to be popular, who bullied others to have friends, who blame others to keep their reputation clean and like what they did to my parents, who kills just for the sake of power.

I woke up from the sound of my alarm clock. “morning already?” I immediately pull myself off from the bed and did my morning routine. Take a bath, prepare myself for school, eat breakfast while reading a book and last, drive my way to school.

I’ve been living alone since I was 10. After my parent’s tragic death, many of my relatives tried to claim me and ask if I could live with them and be my legal guardian. But I refused all their invitations since I knew from the very beginning that they’re only after my family’s wealth.

My mother was the owner of the well-known coffee shop in country A while my father was the ex-president of the country. They were both killed inside my father's office in our manor. Till now, the case of my parents' death hasn't been solved. We still don't know who the culprit is nor we have any leads about the suspects since we know no one who holds such grudge against my parents. But even though I knew who they are and kill them the way they murdered my parents, it won't solve the pain and despair I'm experiencing till now, it won't take my parents' back to life.

And now, I’m 18 years old and starting a new chapter of my life. I'm already a college student. I always wanted to be a successful lyricist and be part of the music industry but at the same time, I also wanted to be a 3D Animator while taking care of my mother's coffee shop. And because of the rumors spreading how great SVU is and with the wealth of my deceased parents' I managed to let myself be welcomed by The Heavens, Saint Vincent University.

“All you need to do is focus on being the top student at the university. Don’t you ever dare start a conversation to make friends, ignore every invitation of your classmates to hang out, and last, ignore all suitors who approach you. And soon, you’ll see yourself, Snoe Tsukasa, as a successful woman, just like what your mother and father wanted you to be”

I know I'm still suffering due to my past but this won't stop me to achieve my parents' goals and dreams for their only daughter...

 

 

"Mom, Dad ... watch me from the heavens ... ll make you guys proud"

CHAPTER 1 (THE INFIRMARY)

“Hey, have you heard the news that a new student is joining the class of Multi-Media Arts?”

“He\~ really? But the 1st semester started 3 weeks ago?!” “I know! I didn’t know SVU

accepts late enrollees”

“Same here!”

----

“I heard the new student of MMA is from a poor family”

“So, the new student is a scholar?!”

“Maybe we can pay her money in

exchange for paper works?”

“What a great idea!”

----

“HA?! The new student is a

beauty?!”

“I want to meet her!”

I can hear students from different courses along the pristine hallway of Saint Vincent talking about me. I already heard a rumor about me coming from a poor family even though I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth. Negative or positive rumors, such things can’t ruin my day since I’m already used to it. I started experiencing being bullied non-stop since elementary. But I never waste any of my saliva or time to fight back since it’s no use wasting time to such people. “What a disgrace to their family. Tch\~”.

Saint Vincent University only holds a population of 2000 students since this university is only for those who can afford to pay the tuition fee and for those fortunate smart-*** students who luckily passed the scholarship exam.

SVU is a well-known elite university across the country since all the politicians' , celebrities', CEOs' sons and daughters went here to study to be the rightful owner of their businesses one day, or be able to fulfill the requirements to be a politician or it can also be, to enhance their skills for their career or simply just to become a successful individual.

Due to the rumors of the university having a group of professional and skillful professors and offers such a breadth of academic and extracurricular opportunities, many parents wanted to enroll their sons and daughters here, no matter what their social statues are. SVU has a ridiculous amount of resources such as the library which holds millions of high-quality books and archives that can be used by the student to help them with their studies, a computer laboratory consisting of high-quality computers, and other different laboratories such as, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc. And also, there are individual rooms for each organization that SVU holds like for example, the teacup organization, a perfect org. for those who love teacup parties or the teacups itself.

The inside out of this university is nothing compared to those other elite universities. SVU is also called The Heavens since not only the university itself is perfect but also the students who are studying at SVU.

“I’m already tired. And I still can’t find the registration office!” I said to myself while lazily walking down the hallway, trying to find where the registrations office is, to claim my files where I can see my class schedule and my I.D no.

I heaved a sigh of defeat when my legs can no longer take it and went to sit on a nearby bench where I’m standing.

“This school is huge. How will able to find the registration office in time before my class starts at 10!”

As I was about to stand up to continue my search for the registration office. I suddenly felt a pain from my back, resulting in me to screech in pain.

“AAAAAAAAHHHH\~!”

I was too busy minding the pain that I didn’t hear the person who bumped into me asking if I were alright in a worried manner. And just when I was about to tell the person I am fine. I am already being carried, hurriedly to the infirmary room.

CHAPTER 2 (A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU)

I tried taking a glimpse of the person’s face who is carrying me, but all my attempts failed since the person is running at a fast pace. And I was worried that if I move too much, I might cause more unnecessary events to the person who already went to the trouble taking me to the infirmary room.

“Though it was his fault. Running down the hallway without being cautious. Hmph~”

_____________________

"Nurse? How’s her condition?” I heard the person asked the University’s assigned registered licensed nurse. After hearing the person’s deep mature voice …“A guy?!” My face turned red as the thought of him running while carrying me to the infirmary room flashed back.

"Gosh Snoe! A girl can't carry you like a bride while running towards here. IDIOT~"

“Oh~ It seems that you’re already awake.” the guy said in a teasing manner.

“I am not unconscious from the start” I replied with a piercing tone.

“What a brat~.” He said annoyingly.

I didn’t dare to rebut him after saying what a brat I am since his not worthy of my time and saliva. I hate guys like him, who act all mighty and arrogant! He’s not even that hands … ome “???~”

“What? What are you looking at?” he asked teasingly. “Shock how handsome I look?” he continued.

“N-nothing~. Even though you’re an asshole. I still owe you an apology and of course, thank you for bringing me here” I said shyly, avoiding his gaze. “And you’re a jerk not a handsome”

“How can that asshole have such a face like a prince charming?!”

After an hour of staying at the infirmary room, the nurse permitted me to leave and gave me ointments for my scratches and bruises from my arms, legs, and back.

Yup~ because of his carelessness, I now have these unpleasant things in my body.

“What a marvelous day Snoe. What a marvelous day it is”

_____________________

As expected, all classes were dismissed early since today is the Annual Anniversary of Saint Vincent. Right outside the main door of the university, you can see many students and outsiders hanging around by groups, and there are numbers of food stalls and entertainment stands. “Am I in Japan? It looks more like a festival in Japan.” I murmured.

“Hmm? Aren’t you the girl I brought to the infirmary earlier?”

I was surprised and shocked to hear his voice again. I know that there are only 2000 students here in Saint Vincent that’s why I already expected that I will run into him again. But GHAD! I didn't expect to run into him so soon … “Ah~ well, look who’s here, Mr. Asshole”

“Ha?! That’s what I freakin get after bringing you to the infirmary?” he asked irritated by my attitude.

“Well, I know for sure you deserve it. I wouldn’t be in this situationpointed at my bruises all over my bodyif it wasn’t for your carelessness”** I retorted.

“You don't even feel ashamed of yourself. Just to inform you I missed my chance to confess to the girl I like for years because of you dimwit! And I was building up this courage for years too!!!” he yelled. I can tell that he’s upset by his facial expression. But I don’t care since what I’m telling is true. I wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for his carelessness.

“Who are you calling a dimwit?! Ha? JERK?!!!” I yelled back.

Our bickering continued for a few more minutes and was soon interrupted by a voice behind me.

“Oh~ Ezekiel, there you are”

I turn my back to see who it was, and my eyes were almost sucked out by the beauty of the person standing right in front of me. Not only that, but her voice is modulated and very appealing that anyone would immediately fall in love with her just by hearing her talk.

“I’m also looking for you Guine. Where have you been?” the asshole asked in a gravelly tone.

“So, his name is Ezekiel? Pff~ he has this princely face and name but it doesn’t suit this guy. What a waste~”

“Really? I just went to see Amiel off. He said he can’t stay for too long since he needs to finish all the documents given by her secretary” the girl replied.

Based on their conversation, these guys are filthy rich~ tch. “I have no time for people like you. Who knows, maybe you guys are the same as the one who killed my parents” I may sound like a hypocrite since I am also considered as a rich individual but one thing that makes me different between those kinds of rich people is “I have a heart” a human heart.

I know that those people who killed my parents are filthy rich since no one in the low-class society will ever dare kill the president of the country leaving without any traces, hints of flaws and perfectly murder them.

I was about to walk out from their sight when I was pulled back by Ezekiel and I know it was intentional to let me bump into his well-toned chest."This guy!! Arghh!!~"

“What the hell are you doing?!” I yelled in irritation.

“Before you leave, I want to know who you are. Introduce yourself” He demands huskily, straight into my ears. My face immediately turned red from what he did, but I won’t let him continue teasing me.

“You don’t deserve my introduction asshole,” I said as I pull myself off from his grip.

“But you don’t mind introducing yourself to me, right?” the girl replied in an adorable manner which made me give up and introduced myself to the two students in front of me.

"Why are guys eager to know who I am? I'm just a nobody, who wants to graduate college peacefully"

"Good Afternoon, I am Snoe Tsukasa a new freshmen student here in Saint Vincent.” I introduced myself in the most formal way I can. I don’t want to be a disgrace to my family even though they’re gone.

“Tsukasa?” The girl repeated my last name, confused. “HA?! Aren’t you the ex-president’s daughter?!!” she asked excitingly.

I just nodded my head as a gesture to answer her question yes.

“Well before we continue this conversation. Hi~ I’m Guinevere Le Grand and this is Ezekiel.” She happily introduced the both of them “I apologize but I can’t fully introduce Ezekiel to you since he doesn’t like people knowing more about him. That's why I can only introduce him to you by telling you his first name” she explained worriedly.

“A pleasure to meet you Sir Ezekiel and Miss Guinevere” I replied.

“A pleasure to meet you Miss Snoe, but can we please drop this formality? You can call us by our first names” Guinevere said in her usual manner. “Anyway, back to the topic were talking about, how’s the ex-president doing?”

Ah~ right. Everyone in this country never heard about my parent’s death. Since I refuse to spill the tea and even let my relatives sign a contract to never tell a soul that my parents are already dead or else, they will immediately be sentenced for 10 years imprisonment and pay the fine worth $100,000.00. But I did tell the media to spread the news that my parents will be living in another country after leaving his position as the president of the nation. The reason why I did this is that I don't want to talk about it anymore and I don't want people taking advantage of the situation.

“The ex-president is doing fine abroad. He left the country with my mother and won’t be coming back…"
