Kim Ara Sophia's POV

I walk slowly into the room trying not to get caught and rush to the desktop in front of me as my eyes cautiously check my surrounding. I took out a small piece of paper in my hand and type the password nervously.

"Come on.." i whisper with high hopes.

My eyes focused on the screen as i clicked the file document that i want to find as my eyes divert from the screen to the door frantically.

As i found the file document, i double clicked it and it shows a list of categories in it. Categories based on Surnames, Names, Scores and Passed/Fail columns.

My heartbeat beats crazily as i scrolled down the columns to find my name.

"K...Kim..Kim Ara...Kim Ara-" I found my name as i immediately checked my Scores.

My eyes widen.

Score 96%

I passed! More than pass the passing rate. Then, my eyes landed on the next column.

Fail

As expected...I can't believe it! This is my 3rd attempt and i passed all of the exam entrance but i still failed! My stomach churned seeing the result.

This Liam kid that is on the list barely passed the test, Score 80% but he passed. How come i failed?

This is unbelieveble. I talked to Aunt Eliz about this and she still shooked me off. Saying that,

"What's the matter with the school you attended now? It's suite you very well. Don't make a fuss"

I groan. There's nothing wrong with it but attending a prestige school at Republic Ashvelt College is my ultimate dream. She against me so bad that sometimes i think there is something that she hides from me. Then, i heard a shuffling at the door.

Shoot!

I close the file document as i heard heavy footsteps at the door, i immediately turn off the desktop and went to take a book at the bookshelves besides me clumsily.,

The door opened and i greet her.

"A-aunt Eliz...morning. I need this book" i motioned this book on my hand. Econs 101.

She stares at me long enough.

"You're early today. What's the occasion?" Her half asleep face was clearly visible on her face.

"I'm starting my project soon with Liya. I will be home late. Don't wait for me. By the way, you're early too"

"Aah\~ about that. I need to sort of the application for the new students entrance. I only have a week as the new entrance for 2nd intake is at end of this month"

Hearing that makes my heart clenched.

Fail huh?

Then, she walked to me and yawn. He rub my hair and i groan.

"Don't be late. Before 8p.m. Got it?" She said stern while messying up my hair then grin stupidly at me. I groan.

"I'm not a kid anymore!" As i ran out and stick my tounge at her playfully. Then, i went to my room and slam my body on my bed. Sigh.

"What are you planning on Aunt Eliz.."

*********************************************

It's 7:00p.m. and i bid Liya goodbye. We finished half of our project together and as for remaining, we planned to continue tomorrow.

"Be safe Ara!" She waved her hand like a crazy girl and i waved at her back.

"Goodnight" i smile.

The wind is quite strong tonight. I cover myself with my knit jacket and let down my half braided strawberry blonde hair down.

"It's so cold. I shouldn't wear skirts tomorrow" i chatters as i hug my bag infront.

I walked pass few junctions and pass through Republic Ashvelt College, next to the Easton girl's college. My college.

I stopped in front of Ashvelt and stare long enough as the wind blew my hair slowly. My college is besides with this prestigeous college and every time i went back home, i would envied those students that gets enrolled at there.

Aunt Eliz is the director in this College and it's not that i want to brag it about but i already went for the entrance exam for 3 times. Alas, i wouldn't get the spot! We had a fight before about that but it's no used. She kept giving excuses and i get fed up so i gave up. Am i?

"So close yet so far"

Then, suddenly a thunder rumble tremendously and i gasped. Lightning after lightning strike angrily on the sky .

That's weird. I swear i looked at the weather forecast today and it's sunny. I started walking and i heard a rustle from behind the Ashvelt's wall.

A figure crouch on the wall hurriedly and my eyes divert to that figure as the lightning strike again, leaving a dramatic entrance for that person.

Our eyes met.

This guy is around my age, maybe older than me. His dark onyx eyes is sharp as a serpent looking straight at me. His eyes widen as our eyes met. His dark hair is a match with his black attire.

What is he doing here in this college? Is he tried to break in?

The thunder rumbles madly and i flinched. Few lighning strike on the sky here and there. I don't like it.

The guy looked at his back and it's like he is running from someone. Then, he jumped from the high wall and...wait! Is he-

Ooff!

He fell on top of me. My body fell on the grass and my stuff in my bag scatter around on the ground. Suddenly, he pushed me down harder and he stay alert as we hide in the bushes.

"Hey! What are you- mmph! mpf!" He covered my mouth and hovered on top of me. My eyes widen.

"Quite if you don't what to get killed! " he hissed at me.

His deep dark voice scares me oh god. I shiver. A thunder rumble again as he finished talking. It's like it simultaneously link to this guy. I heard someone shout from the other side.

"Don't let him get away!"

"Find him!"

Adrenaline rush through me. He covered my mouth hard enough that it makes me winced.

Am i going to die?!

As i looked closer he is a good looking guy. His broad shoulder and strong figure shows that he is not a person who you could mess with. His aura and vibes frightened me so bad. I squirm and gasp from his strong grip.

Suddenly, his expression changed. His hand tremble as his breathing is uneven. I can feel his hot breath on me. He looked distracted and i took the opportunity to push him. My breath hitch terrified as i took my stuff in a flash and attempt to run from this pervert guy but he pulled me aggresively to him.

"Hey!!" I panic. What the hell?

My heart races crazily and i gasp as he suddenly...

Kiss me.

He push me to the ground and straddle me. It's like he can't control himself. His kiss is so rough and passionate as i'm in my brink of tears.

"Mmph!..mmph!!" I tried to push him but it was a fail. He is too strong. His body heat is killing me. His grip on my hand is so strong it hurts like hell.

I can't breathe!

It's like he wants to eat me. His touch is so warm like a warm pad. His face is red and his eyes is hazy. It's like he is not himself.

Suddenly, he pushed himself to the back and lean against the wall while panting heavily. I pant as well from his aggressive deep kiss.

"****!" He roared.

"What did you do to me?!" he continued.

"What i did to you?! I should asked you that question, you pervert jerk" my tears fall down angrily as i immediately took all my stuff again and shove into my bag. Then, i ran as fast as i can while tears pouring heavily against my cheek.

He took my first kiss!

Ara's POV

"You can't pass through this gate without your student card" the security said firmly while stopping me in front.

"What?? I studied here! Let me pass through this once. I promised i will find my student card" i begged frantically or else i'm late for class.

"You know me so well Mr. Will. Please pretty please.." i begged again giving off my cutest eyes ever. I told him just now thet my I.D has been missing for few days since that night. It was a disaster.

He stared at me long and crossed his arms. Likewise, the tight security of Weston's Girl's College. Even we females are been treated strictly. As for male entry....even worse.

"Ara...i let you go this once, if other security guard knew this. You won't get the opportunity to get pass through this ever again" Mr. Will sighed and scan his ID on behalf of me.

"Thank you Mr. Will. I'll take a look after this" i said apologetically.

I lost my student card after the incident last 2 days ago that night. That horrible night. This card is an access to every each place in this school. If i lost it, i can't enter the library or any other places.

***********************************************

Class went just fine as i bid others goodbye. So unlucky me! Since i met him, luck is not by myside. I bet i accidentally left it at the bushes that night. Hook or by crook i need to go to Ashvelt's to find it.

As i walked there, my heart skip a beat seeing all those students at Ashvelt's. All of them look dramatically cool and pretty. I walked there and tried to find it frantically as the students keep whispering for what am i doing there like a crazy person at the bushes.

"Where is it...come on.." i whisper. My eyes is on the ground for so long that i didn't realise someone's coming.

"Hello there" a middle age man with formal attire came towards me with someone behind his back, i assume his Personal Assisstant.

"Mr. Lee. We don't have much time" his P.A said nervously as the man in front of me walked into the bushes.

Then, suddenly his eyes lit up. It's like he sensed something.

"My my..what is your name?" He said while smiling softly at me. I can see a small wrinkle under her eyes but he is sure a good looking for his age.

I feel anxious with his attempt to talk to me and he immediately sensed it.

"I'm sorry to startle you..i'm Jeoung Victor. I am working as a Board Director at Republic Ashvelt organisation. I'm having a meeting here. Do you have any problem here?" He asked polite.

Board Director?

He's so defenseless and so opened up! Differ from what i imagined. A Board Director usually have this scary and serious vibes but this man, he is very friendly.

I bow a bit nervously.

"I'm sorry..I'm Kim Ara Sophia. Actually i lost something around here last 2 days. Sorry that i interfere in this compound. I will get going"

"Are you a relative of College Director Kim Elizebeth's?"

I smile. "Yes. I am her niece"

"You don't studied here?" He asked in disbelief.

"Ha ha. I wish..." i gave in a bitter smile.

"I studied at Weston Girl's College, across from Ashvelt's" i continued.

"I see..." he sounds weird and in deep thoughts.

Then, he whispers something to his P.A. and his P.A. nod while adding something in his iPad for note.

"Well, Ms Kim Ara. I'll be going. See you soon" he nod at me and smile.

"It is a pleasent to see you Mr. Jeoung" I nod and bow again for respect.

See you soon huh?

**********************************************

"Hey Ara...what does...first kiss feels like?" Drunk Liya swaying her hips like she's a model at a fashion show meanwhile her brother crossed his arms disbelief.

"How much do you drink, punk?!" Mason, Liya's older brother smack her head hard meanwhile Liya groan like a kid. I chuckled as i pass his drunk unstable sister to Mason.

"Ara. Thank you" his eyes soften. He adjusted Liya on his arm and glance at me.

"It's pretty late. I'll send you back"

"No.. it's okay. It's just few blocks away" i said reassuringly.

Mason is a good looking guy and not to mention he studied at Ashvelt's. He stayed in his campus there eventhough his home is near from Ashvelt's but sometimes he would went back, depends. Once or twice in a month.

"Playing hard to get again huh?" He smirks.

"Always be" i joked around and we laughed.

We bid each other goodbyes and i walked home. It's quite and peaceful in the neighbourhood as i push my hair to the back, the wind blew softly.

First kiss huh?

A flash of memory on that night came flooding into my mine as i touch my lips. I can sense my cheek warms and anger resurface insides me.

Remembering that passionate, possessive kiss against my lips it's like he would eat me...Who is that guy?

He stole my first kiss...

Suddenly, i feel like someone is watching me. I glance at my back and i shivered. I walked briskly as i heard footsteps becomes faster behind me. My heart beat pumps crazily. I run as fast as i can and i stopped on my track when someone appear in front of me.

My eyes widen when i looked behind, there are other 2 persons at my back. 3 attractive guys around my age.

"Well well well...what do we have here. The 3,rumors are all true\~" he said in a playful tone while grinning.

I stand in defense. I can feel my adrenaline rush through me but i need to act calm. They walked to me slowly and dramatically the road lamp flickered. Shit!

"What do you want?! Don't come closer" Firm. My sweat flow down from my forehead. They walked nearer while grinning like an idiot.

"First rumour, it's been years we didn't heard about 'A Bearer'. The rumours are true that i can smell it now" He inhale deeply then he let out a moan. My body shivered and i covered my beg in front of me for defense. Bearer?

"Second rumour, our bearer right here is fucking beautiful in flesh. Checked!" That guy in front of me continued. They came closer and we are only few metres away.

"I said don't come come near me you jerk!!" I spat viciously. I don't understand what they are talking about. A bearer?!

"Third rumour...hmm..it's not quite closed with the info tho. This woman in front of us here..seems feisty. Not as obedient as the rumour is" his eyes bore into mine meanwhile the others snickers..

"What do you want?! Leave me alone...What do you mean A Bearer?!" I raised my voice as i stand in defense. Then, he stopped and he stared at me long enough.

"Oi..don't play dumb with me" he came forward to me as his forehead scrunched in annoyance.

"I can smell you across this road, those sweet and soft cherry blossom smell. You still play dumb? Don't **** with me!" As he grabbed me as fast as lightning.

My body jerked and i screamed as loud as i can . I feel my stomach drops, terrified. No! Someone please help me!

"HELPPP!!-hmphh..hmphh"

He covered my mouth roughly and he pushed me against the wall hard. I tried to kick him in the nuts but he immeditely positioned himself in between of me.

"Shut up" then he slides his head on my neck. He sniffs and moan. My eyes widen and i'm in my brink of tears. My heart beat thumps crazily as i shivered.

"Mmph..mphhh!!" Let go of me!

"God\~this smell. She's indeed A Bearer" he moaned.

What Bearer?! Again?

"Lucas, use your ability now!" He continued as this Lucas sigh nervously and starts motioning his hand around all of us while moving his hand in one swift. He seems concentrating and focusing enough for what he is doing.

"Done Liam.." This Lucas said after few seconds.

Then this Liam which is the guy that straddle and cage me against the wall divert his gaze at me. He uncovered his hand on my mouth and i screamed as loud as i can.

"Help!! Please anyone!! Please!!" I screamed as i feel my lungs would burst out and Liam and the others stares at me with amusement. My breath hitch.

It's like it doesn't affects them. There must be someone would hear me. We're in a neighbourhood for goodness sake.

Why is this happening to me? I behave all the time and i don't have any enemies. Period.

"No one will hear you...sweetie" Liam said against my ears while smirking. I feel disgusted to the core and shiver from it.

"Stop...don't touch me what are you doing?!"i squirm and tried to push him but it's no use. He towers over me.

He ignores me and sniff harder again as he gave me a kiss on the bare of my neck.

"My family would be damn happy if i got A Bearer by myside" he moans again.

My tears falls down silently as i shout and screamed at him. His disgusting moans and how his friends watched us in this situation makes me feels like i want to die from this embarrassment.

Then, a couple of girls walked by from the street and i feel so blessed and relief.

"Help!! Please hey you two! Please help me!" I shout with hopes then my body flinched. The guys chuckled and my tears fall again silently. The 2 girls ignore me. What?? Why??

"Shout as loud as you can. No one will hear you" Liam deep husky voice was heard as he lean closer down to my collarbone. Kissing and sucking. My body jerks and adrenaline rush through me. I tried to push him hard as i cried.

No!

No!

"Stop you jerk! Stop!!" I squirm as my eyes follows those 2 girls walked happily along besides us like it's nothing. Like someone is not here. No one, not a single soul in this neighbourhood heard my pleas or helped me.

"Your heaven scent becomes even strong as ever!" He cursed and continue nibbling my neck. I cried even more. I feel worthless and pathetic.

Someone tried to rape me here.

.

.

.

Suddenly, a loud thunder on the sky roars as lightning flashes continuosly. This Lucas at the back and the other guy flinched. So am i. I don't know why this scene seems familiar as before.

So sudden?

The thunder...lightning.

Liam is still kissing on my neck and i still tried to squirm under him.

"Don't move! Or else-"

Then, a loud gasp came out from my lips as i stare at half unconscious bruised Liam on the ground and i immediately divert my eyes to this person.

It can't be.
