“Leave”

How much that voice are hurting her when she made no attempt to obey his order.

“No, I will not!” That’s it. She has said it out loud and she doesn’t care if he want to slap her at that moment.

The man in his black robes got up from his seat and looming over her with his piercing black eyes that she so loved.

“Miss Carter…”

“So it’s Miss Carter now? Where does my rose go? Tell me, Sian!” The girl called Miss Carter practically screaming at her paramour face.

Sian Reynald shook his head furiously.

“Stop this instant, Miss Carter. You are acting like a foolish little child!” Snapped him at her face. Clearly venom was present in his eyes. Love was gone from it.

“I am not a child. It is you, Sian who are acting like a putelent child!” Rachel swear that she noticed Sian flinched a bit before he put back his mask on his poker face. Sly man!

“You are my student, Miss Carter. What ever happened between us now is totally forbidden! This cannot be continue” says Sian without emotion betraying him.

More tears flow out from Rachel’s swollen eyes.

“But I love you!” Rachel jumped at Sian and try to hug him to her chest.

Sian’s body became still and he looked down his nose at Rachel before he said something that he might regret later,

“It is a shame that I don’t feel the same way about you, Miss Carter”

The look in her eyes hunted Sian’s dream forever.

“I’m sorry!”
