Plak.. Plak.. Plak.. Ashley can hear the sound of stamping feet rushing to the jeepney. Due to heavy hearts she unexpectedly drove by those sound inside the vehicle. She never even bother asking the driver where it will go. All she only knew is that she wants to go far from school. Far from the place she can remember the things happened and the pain she's suffering.

After an hour, maybe the driver have noticed that she's still on the jeepney, "where are you going miss?" asked the driver. "We're here at the last stop." With the shocked emotion she didn't say anything and didn't even utter a word and just went down the vehicle.

When she went out, there is no trace of high building, known establishments, or even familiar park or place. This was totally different from the place she is living with. But she feels so hungry. Good thing that she saw a cafeteria nerby the terminal she is in.

While she was heading the cafeteria she saw a familiar figure. The figure that represents power. Maybe someone she met a long time ago. Since she was so hungry she never bother paying attention to it and move in to her plan. And that is to eat.

The pain she is suffering has been converted into hunger. She ordered everything she thinks is appetising. It is really the food her only comforter everytime she's lonely. And here she go again. She remembered everything when her mind is occupied with food. She remembered how she met Chris at a fastfood chain. The same place that they like most. It was a fast food near the school. It is the fast food where Ashley always go everytime she is lonely, everytime she wants to be alone, everytime she wants to think, and everytime she's hungry. The same fast food that Chris admire most because of its ambiance. There was this time that they seat in one table (of course they don't talk with each other because they're both strangers), they have to choose food and bump each other, and line in the cashier at the same time. So many incidents that they both cross paths. Until one day they held hand accidentally for they are about go get the same food in store. Ashley blushed and was noticed by Chris. "I'm sorry miss. You can have it." Chris offered. Chris is slim but a good looking guy. No dress on earth that won't suit him beacuse of his white complexion. His long hair fits his long neck and a pointed noise that very much suited with his small eyes and lips. Day by day they get know each. There is this one instance that they exchange names, they shares ideas and sometimes falks fun about the passersby and even the store staff, and because of those instances they finally know each other well. They sometimes share how they feel on each other. They are much alike when it comes to attitude. They like being alone, Chris thinks that people always sees how he act while Ashley thinks that people only noticed her because of her father. Because of that they likes few people. They are not a fan of hanging out with strangers or other people they are not close with. They spend most of their time studying and playing board games.

There's this day when she doesn't feel okay so she decided to go to her favorite fast food. Ordered the same food she like, go to her favorite spot of table. Before eating a single bite of food she feels the vibration of her phone sp she grab it instantly. It was Chris sending her a message "look at your right" and wothout hesitation she looked at her right. It was Chris holding a Menu Book. He offered it to her but she refuse for she ordered already but Chris insisted saying that it's his treat. She have no choice but to grab it. Unexpectedly she read something when she first open it saying "will you be my girlfriend?". She was shocked and don't know what to say. She grabbed her sandwish and wrote "yes" using a catsup. No one in school who does not know their relationship. How can they not know when Chris' father is the owner of the Sebastian International School.

Before her tears drop she finally back to reality.

Still in the unknown place. No where to go and no one to ask. She deleted every single contacts she have on phone. That is what she always do when she's angry, but this is the first time that she go far from her place and far from reach of her father. She only lives with her father for her mother is in other country. Her father must be very worried and mad.

Its finally dark and she finally made a decision to go home. She calls for a taxi and went home. As expected her dad was so angry. "Where did you go? How could you do this to me? You disgarce me in all people in school. If you're like that I'm going to send you to your mother." her father must be very angry. He loves her so much that he never even want her to visit her mother. But now everything seems different. All she can do is to cry because after all the pain that she is going through her father never even bother asking how does she feel after what happen.

Because of what happen she packed some clothes and some important things that she thing she might need. She walks silently towards the door. She planned to go far from her father and to never be with her mother. She never felt the love of her mother once that's why she never thought of living with her mother. After the accident and after she doesn't remember everything her mother left her without explanation.

With the heavy backpack she's carrying and a heavy hearts, she still manage to leave the house even when it's late night. She don't know where to go but her feet is too busy walking and walking until it stops when she heard an approaching motorcycle. She was scared for she's the only person walking around.

While the motorcycle is getting nearer and nearer, her heart beats faster and faster until in just a minute the motorcycle rider just grab her backpack then everything that she needs even the money she have are gone. She never even shout for she was too scared during that moment that she can't even think on what to do. After a minute she run as fast as she can until she reach the bus terminal. A few people is there, still she can't think of what to do. She still afraid of what happen.

Ashley never begged for help in her entire life. Asking for help is never an option to her. While she continue on crying someone approach her and hand her a handkerchief. When she looked up, it was a familiar face having a beautiful figure. A well suited outfit that matches her white complexion. It was Amanda, the girl she promised never to see. "I know it was you I saw yesterday in the cafeteria. Sorry for bothering you, I'm just curious of how you are today that's why I followed you."

Ashley think that Amanda could be the key to her problem. But does she know what happen to her? "What do you want?" that's all Paula asked for despite of what happen. "I just want to help you" with a confident voice "this could be my chance" she added. Paula recall everything that happen in the past but she never try to open about it. Amanda seems doing well based on her outlook. She seems extraordinary.

Ashley and Amanda are now in the car heading to Amanda's check-in hotel. Ashley was too surprised with what she saw, "why are we here in my father's hotel?" she asked, "are you and my father seeing each other?" Ashley added. "I used to stay at every hotel you have everytime I'm visiting here, and need not to worry. Your father doesn't know that I visited every single properties you have." answered Amanda. Ashley still confused and don't know what Amanda is thinking.

"How are you suppose to help me? Are you going to sent me to my father?" with curious voice.

"No. They will never recognize you as they never recognize who I am. After the incident back then I changed my identity. From now on you can call me Antie Aura. Just walk straight to our room and I'll settle everything. Just follow my assistants."

They enjoyed the night chit-chatting. They decided to go back to Sekno the next morning. Ashley agreed on changing her name to Paula.

That same night, Ashley's father went to every hotel they have to see if Ashley is there. Ashley is worried sick that her father might caught her. But she was unnoticeable and that thanks to Aunty Aura.

The next day..

After almost a day of travel they finally reached the Sekno province. She was too tired of the trip so she was not able to see how big the Aura Miles Mansion. She ask for a room and since she was an unexpected guests she sleep at Aunty Aura's room for a while. After see finished her daily skin care routine, she hurriedly lay in bed. It was almost morning when she heard the door is opening, the sound makes her think that the one who opens it are familiar with the place. She was unsure if she is really awake or having a dream. The door closed and in a minute there is no trace of sound until someone get in bed and hugged her with love. She doesn't have any idea of who is it, all she can assure is that she is not dreaming. "I miss you....mm" a sound of a boy. Before the boy continue its last word she removed his and wake up. Open the light and shout in her loudest voice. The boy was so shock and all the people in the mansion are in panic. They all went to where the sound is. Finally when all are in place... "You maniac" says Paula to the scared boy. "I'm sorry.. I never thought..." the boy can't say any word to defend himself. "What's with the chaos?" ask Aunty Aura. "This boy is trying to do something bad about me. He went to my bed and hug me. Aunty please call the police." explained Ashley. "We need not to, maybe it was a misunderstanding. Maybe Marko just thought of you as me since you are using my room." replied Aunty Aura. (Is this two having an affair? Not bad for a boy with a masculine look. A true definition of tall, dark, and a handsome face.) Before Ashley thinks so much about Marko..." This is my son, Marko Miles. He is 2-year older than you. He can be your brother. I'm sorry for troubling you this evening."

All the misconceptions in her mind has been cleared up. The people in the mansion went back to their spot. After the incident, she never went to sleep and feel guilty of accusing Marko a maniac. She feels so ashamed. She don't know how she'll face Marko.

It was her first day in the mansion, the most awkward day in her life. Good thing a sound broke the silence at the table. "Are you planning to stay here or just a vacation?" sound as if Aunty Aura is seeking for a plan from Ashley. "I'm not sure yet" she answered in a low voice. "but can I study here?"

"You can enroll at Mendiola University, I have a friend there that can help us."

"Do I really have to change my identity?"

"Well, it is all up to you. But for sure your father or maybe your face is all over the news. Depending on how your father decide if she will look for you in public or ask a private investigator."

"You seems you know my father very well. How are you related to him?"

"That question I cannot answer. Finish your food and Marko will help you see the mansion."

"Marko?" Ashley is still looking for marko. (The maid said that Marko is on this area). "Why are you looking for me?" a voice from behind of Ashley. She hurriedly look behind her and found a wet topless man in front of her. Marko looks hotter with the tanned color with a body build that suits his height. She can't help herself from imagining of holding his chest."ah eh, Aunty said that you should accompany my around the villa." that is all she can think to avoid the silliness in mind. (he must not look at me in the eyes) "Yes your highness" answered Marko with the teasing smile.

They enjoyed the company of each other. Ashley never thought that she'll get along well with Marko that easy. After all, Marko will be on her side everyday.
