Today is also going to be a long and boring day. Damien isn't here. Where is he?! He said he was going to come some days after but now, now there is no sign of him at all!

'This damned promise breaker!' I jump out of my comfy bed and throw my phone in the sofa after being thoroughly disappointed by Damien.

I need to calm down! Right, fresh air!

I open the clear glass doors to the balcony and support my elbows on the rift. Sigh! Why am I like this after meeting Damien?

After our coincidental meeting Damien and I have been in touch almost everyday, We often talked and hang out together; Dad investigated on his background and found he is quite a poor boy who is singlehandedly supporting his ill younger sister. His sister has congenital heart disease, to provide for her expensive medical fees Damien had to work numerous jobs instead of attending school at the age of 17. When I heard about this I felt.. I don't know... I just didn't like it. But, so what? I couldn't do anything, I wish I could help him.

Somehow, Dad felt very convinced with him and offered to give his sister the best medical care, his complete studies would also be borne by Dad as well as his sisters studies. Upon hearing this news, my heart bloomed sparkles and I felt happiness I never did before, I felt very content with Dad, seeing his benevolence upon others.

Ever since, Damien would be in Dad's office till late night and I would peek on their conversation. Sometimes I would be able to have a good talk with Damien but only for a brief moment. It's frustrating because he's aways so cold and tries to avoid me, am I that bad?

I finally got his number from brother after 2 weeks of pleas and acting pitiful but he didn't even bother to look at my texts or reply to me, how is he so busy he forgot our friendship?

'This isn't gonna work, I have to do something!' I think as I stare into the beautiful bright orange-red sun set.

"Dad!" I shout as I make my way down the stairs to the dining to table.

Dad and brother were already seated, waiting for me. "Yes, my darling. What are you so enthusiastic to come for dinner so early?" He asks with a blank expression as the maid places the dishes on the table.

I sit down opposite to brother and greet dad and brother. "Dad, you know we only have 3 months remaining till college starts?" I said, munching on the delicious lasagne made by sister Rila; i smile at her, content "You always makes it the best." I compliment her and she smiles back.

"The last time I remember you whined for three days cause you didn't want to go to college. What happened now, kitty cat?" Matteo butts in, his expression frowning.

Argh! I really regret that time I acted like crazy because I didn't want to go to college, I am nothing like my father or brother; My brother is the ideal son, the perfect and only heir of the Rhodes family. He has a good sense of humour is what all our distant relatives and business partners say, but not for me, for me he's a devil. I will agree he's an ace student, one of the top students in the country, his communicational skills are excellent seeing how he was able to appease the directors of the company despite being so young. And his personality and looks somehow attracts girls like magnets, I seriously wonder are those women blind?

But me? I maybe the princess of this mansion but I am not clever, intelligent or have good communication skills; I know I am beautiful and there is no doubt about that, after all I have the Rhodes family genes.

I pout but I have to endure it, "Dad, I realised how important studying is for a bright career and future." I look at dad with a very serious face.

hearing Matteo giggle, my attention distracts him as he bursts into laughter seeing he can't hold it any longer.

"Dad! Look!" I pound the table hard and stand up.

"Sky. Sit and eat." Dad commands and glares at Matteo, he may be the heir of this family but I am the heir of Dad's heart.

"Alright, I will apply to a college for you and to won't need to be taught by a home tutor anymore." Dad reaches a conclusive decision, brother also agrees however I wasn't happy. He said a college will be chosen for me, problem is I don't know which and if it will be the same as Damien
