ROSALYN
Before Nicholas and others left our house I told them that I would like to be alone in the meantime. When the DNA test results came and it turned out that he was really my father it took so much thinking if I would go with him. I don't want to let go of them but my father was already in front of me.
"Just take your time, Darling."
"Thank you, f-father."
"Haa, I waited for so many years."
I smiled and hugged him. It was still kinda awkward but I will do my best to be comfortable with him. My father's name was Ashton Louver Deogracia, that's all I know.
"Father, I would like to hear your side. Why did you leave mother... me?"
I suddenly have the courage to ask him. He then sat beside me.
"Your mother one day left me taking you away from me, she even did forbid me to go near to you. Your mother was a good actress since she did a good job on flipping our situations. But after I heard that the reason why she left me was not because she fell out of love it was because she saw a good-looking man with a thick wallet."
"Is that the reason why she did left me?"
"Yes. She was preganant to you that time when she left me. It took me so long for her to find and I asked her to give you back to me but she said that she already forgot what is the name of the orphanage."
My heart aches as I heard that. I was a fool.
"Why would she do that... I was really naive hoping that she will come back. Ugh, what a foolish thought."
"I'm sorry if I just move a little faster that time."
"Don't be sorry. I was treated like a princess here. My daddies were the best."
For a moment I saw pain in his eyes. I immediately held his hands and rubbed it.
"Thank you for coming back for me."
"Yeah. Anything for you."
"I already forgot her face... do you have any picture of her?"
I asked him and when he handed her picture. Memories from the past started to back. I don't know what to feel when I saw her picture. Is this normal? I really don't feel anything.
"This is her new family, my agent told me that the girl was just a year younger than you."
I bite my lip as recall a memory from the past, those days whenever she left me all alone in that house was because she was visiting her other familiy.
"I- I want to leave now."
"What are you saying suddenly?"
Father stared at me with those deep blue eyes. 
"I will not take it if they also hate me, I c-can't..."
I desperately take his hand and shake my head. I started to cry.
"It'll break me if he hate me too."
I started to struggle breathing and that alarmed my father. He helped me take deep breath and try his best to calm me down.
"It's okay, everything's fine, Rosalyn. So calm down... Please do what breathing exercise with me. Inhale... Exhale. Yes, you're doing great honey."
"Father... Hngg."
"I will do what you want. I'll call the maids so that they can ready your things."
"Yes."
"Stay here for a moment, I'll go get you some water."
I nod at him and hugged the picture of my daddies as I lay in their bed. They were smiling so brightly in this picture.
I already miss them.
Why did this have to happened?
"What should I do, Daddy? I already miss you two. Why did you leave me behind. Hng..."
When my father came back he handed me a glass of water. He just left me stay in that position for a minute, I was staring at the ceiling hugging their picture when someone came. I heard him saying that we were now ready to leave.
"Are you sure you don't want to call them?"
"No. It's fine, they'll understand it."
I hope so. I'm sorry for leaving without saying a word.
"Okay. Your brother was already waiting in our house. You see he was so excited to see you again, he surely missed you a lot."
"Yeah. I can't wait to see him too."
I bite my lips when I take a look at the family picture of my mother once again. She was smiling so brightly beside Jade. Aunt Kat hated my mother and I can still remember the things that Jade said that night. I can't believe I am also her daughter.
He will also despise me one day when he found it out. And it felt like the world stopped the moment I left everything behind.
"Rosalyn this is your Brother, Axel Leur, Axel your sister." 
I smiled to him and he gently smile at me.
"Hi, brother."
"Welcome home."
The tears that I held back suddenly kept on running down in my face. Maybe I was that overwhelmed.
"I'm back."
It was not hard to adjust to my new home. The council president who I thought who was a snobbish person was totally different from what I thought. My brother was very welcoming and they treated me so well. He informed me about so many things and both of them was the one who helped me to get into another university so I could catch up.
Brother was so considerate and guided me with evrything. He was so kind and patient, father too. He became busy these days since he was processing my birth certificate, so most of the time I'm with brother.
"Are you sure you already want to change your name? I won't force you if you don't want to."
Yeah, this is my life now, since I left everything behind.
"Father, trust me it's fine. I will not suggest it if I don't want to."
"Haa, you just made your father happy. But remember this, I will not replace them. I know how much you love them."
"I know, they have a special place in my heart. And please do not forget that you're special to me too."
"Thank you, darling." 
As my father became busy in his business, my Brother got busy too since he will graduate soon.
"Elris I will go now."
"Brother, I want some donuts later."
"Sure, I'll buy you some. Goodbye."
"Goodbye. Please don't forget my donuts!"
"Yes, princess."
When he left, I went to my room and started to read my books. Today will be my first day at Everlise University. When they found out that today was my first day brother and father insisted that they should go with me.
It's kind of crazy since they are willing to take a leave just to take me to the university. It took me minutes to tell them that it was not needed, glad that they listen to me.
"I'm sure you were already told before that you'll take summer class so you can catch up."
"Yes, Professor Meredith."
"Guess that it was already in your blood. Your Architectural company was sure to have a bright future."
I just smiled to her.
Brother will soon help father in the Company and I heard it from father that brother can already take over the company but brother said that he was still not that confident. He said that he was still lack of experience.
"And this is the Student Council president, Luke Luzres."
I look at this person beside Professor Meredith. He has this wide smile on his face as he greets me.
"Hi."
"Yeah, Hi. Please to meet you, I'm Ro- Elris. Elris Deogracia."
"I know, you're already famous here. Everyone is talking about you."
"Is that a good thing?" 
I asked since I didn't know if I should be happy that they already know about me. What if they were talking about me because they already don't like me?
"I think? Anyways let me give you a tour around." 
I gave him an awkward smile before I said my thanks to the Professor.
"Thank you, Professor Meredith."
"Yes, then I will leave you two now."
"You see those bunch of people who were crying."
When I look where he pointed at I nod. I watch them as they cry and seconds after that they now all laughing. 
"Uhh..."
"They were the theatre kids. Make sure to see their play once."
"Are they famous here?"
"You'll see it soon and you judge it."
When I look at them once again they were now screaming something. Guess that it was a normal thing for them.
"Then they are the players of Everlise. The soccer and basketball teams. Don't be shocked if you hear students screaming all of a sudden, that just means that they saw them. Students here like to watch them train."
"I see."
"And those five cheerleaders are our self-entitled queens. You can just ignore them, and then those groups they called themselves the literature club. It's rare for them to go outside since they like to stay in their club room. Then the student council, make sure to visit our office sometimes."
"Ah, yes."
"Your building was beside the engineering studs, so you'll see me sometimes. Then that was the cafeteria and the gymnasium, make sure to not go there alone. The self-entitled queens are always staying there."
"Sure."
"This was sure boring, no?"
"No. Not really."
"Why don't you run for the president next year? I will be a fourth-year student next year and I need to pass the position. I see a potential in you."
I laughed when I heard that line again.
"Haa, this is my second time hearing that."
"See? So should I list your name as one of the candidates?"
"But I'm scared that I will not be able to do my job if I happen to be the president."
"Think of it first, okay? I will wait for your answer."
It takes just a week to adjust in my new university and if I don't understand our lesson well, I surely ask my brother about it. He is also the one who helped me on my campaign speech and Luke was able to help me to adjust to becoming the Student Council President.
There are times that I badly want to contact them since I feel lonely but I remind myself to not do it. Luke who stayed beside me for a year finally graduated. I looked at him from head to toe and rolled my eyes. He does look good in the graduation cap and gown.
"What, did you finally fall for me?"
"And what made you think of that?"
"Well, you are looking at me with those affectionate eyes."
"Shut up. You're imagining things."
He then extended his hands and I sighed before I took it.
"Congratulations, you idiot."
"You're so sweet, do you know that?"
"Heh, funny."
I rolled my eyes once again and the student council secretary took her camera and wiggled her eyebrows. I scratch my head and I smile into the camera. After three shots I told them not to post in on the official page of Everlise. And ever since I started to study here I think I did also adapt their hobby of them to party at weekends.
"Gosh, my head is killing me."
"Glad that you're already awake."
My eyes widened when I saw my brother. I immediately got up and he sighed.
"We are not forbidding you to go out and party with your friends, but remember to not drink too much. Luke did carry you to your room because you passed out."
"Sorry."
"Haa, I will now go to the company. Make sure to drink this so it will lessen your headache and fix yourself."
He said in a strict voice and I nod my head. This is killing me.
"Thank you, brother. I love you."
"Remember my words, Elris."
"Yes, Sir."
"I love you too, Elris. Now fix yourself."
"Yes."
I wave my hands to him and when I look at the mirror my eyes widened. My lipstick was already smudged and when I smelled myself I was reeking of alcohol. After fixing myself I called Luke, and he just told me to go straight into his condo.
"Tell me you idiot did you kiss me last night?"
I squint my eyes and he innocently smiles to me. This piece of...
"Did you already forget?" 
My face crumpled and I almost threw the cup I was holding into his face.
"Did we kiss last night or not?"
My eyes widened when he leaned toward my face. His gray eyes were fixed onto mine. I didn't avert my gaze.
"What do you think?"
He suddenly smirked and I sighed.
"I will go now. There is no point in asking you."
"We are still not done talking."
He put both of his hands on the chair and cornered me but then I held his shirt and pulled him closer to me, I saw that he didn't expect that, and made him blush.
"Wow, I didn't know that you can act like this. I tell you it was you who must not fall in love with me."
I winked at him and slightly pushed him.
"Bye, I'll see you soon."
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Gotta grab some burger and fries."
"Let me join you. I'm craving for some too."
"Let's go then."
My time with Luke lessened when I became a third-year student, his work was also demanding so we only see each other at weekends. But we remain our contact with each other and they do find it so weird.
They were confused about our relationship since I kept on saying that we were not in a relationship but they kept saying that we do act like one.
Woah, I remember the past. It's the same situation.
"Are you going to take responsibility if he didn't find a girlfriend?"
"I'm good friends with Luke that's all and there is a person that I do liked for a long time."
"You two were definitely strange."
"Yeah. Hehe."
In my fourth year, I thought I would be able to breathe but I was wrong since our internship was coming.
"Gotta find a company that will take me as their intern."
"Why don't you just be an intern at our company." 
Said brother and I shook my head.
"I want to experience working on the other company first."
"Oh, what about I recommend you this one."
"Do they take interns?"
"I think."
"Father knows them too."
"I see."
"I will talk to father if he can send a letter to the CEO of MC."
"It's fine! I can do it alone. I just need the email and I will do the rest."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
Brother then nods his head. After that, he sent an email to me and I immediately wrote a letter asking if I could work at their company as an Intern for a month. I don't know if my father and brother told them beforehand but they immediately sent their response.
They were expecting me next Monday.
"That's good then, are you not happy?"
"I think my brother or father just pulled some strings."
"And that made your work easy."
"Well, I just want to do to myself. What if they just take me in because of my family name?"
"Then that's their problem, they do have a poor judgment. You know that you were smart, just continue going on Monday. Remember that you need grades for this."
"Right."
I don't know but I do feel betrayed but the other part of my brain was also shouting that 'You are such an idiot for not looking up on the company background that they suggested.'
"Good Morning, Mrs. Monteverde, Mr. Monteverde."
I awkwardly smile at them. I already want to go home.
"Good Morning, Rosalyn. It's been a while."
"Ah, yes. Glad to see you b-both."
"You now look uncomfortable to us."
She suddenly said and my eyes widened. I shake my head and she laughs.
"Please, I'm just surprised to see you both."
"Well, I already know why you left without saying goodbye since your Dad already explained everything."
"Whoa. I think I need to talk to Dad after this."
"Please, be at ease. Jillian's daughter or not you are still the sweet Rosalyn we knew, Jeff and Alvin's precious daughter. We will not hate you because of that." 
After that tears started to fall. Aunt Kat hugged me and patted my head. It took minutes before I stopped crying and I'm so embarrassed to see them after I cry like that.
"I just want one request Can you show up on their moving up? I'm sure they will be surprised to see you again."
"Ah, can I think about that first?"
"Sure, I will wait for your answer."
"Thank you, Aunt Kat, and I wish if you two could keep it a secret from everyone."
"Yes, I respect your decision." I started my internship at their company and it was such a relief that I didn't bump into Nicholas since I heard that he was always in the company. Like brother, he was also getting ready to take over their company.
"I will then pick you up at 8."
"I still don't know if I will stay until 8. But I will text you, I promise."
"You should. My party will be incomplete if you're not present." 
I rolled my eyes at him and he just laughed. Luke's birthday was today and today was also Nicholas, Jasmin, and Jasper's moving-up ceremony. He was the one to suggest bringing me to St. Blaire University, even picking me up after the party.
"But really I think we should just celebrate tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I will not drive when I'm drunk."
"Promise?"
"Promise. You should head inside the moving up ceremony was already finished."
"Okay. I'll see you later."
"Mm. Goodbye." 
I smile at Luke and watch his car leave. When the students were already leaving I then went inside and Aunt Kat was right they were just near at the Entrance. My heart was racing so fast that even my hands were trembling.
I started to take deep breaths and when they looked at me I saw everyone's reaction.
"Surprise!"
Aunt Kat and Aunt Catherine held both of my arms and showed me to Jasmin and Jasper. Nicholas was nowhere to be found.
"Sorry for being late. Ahm... Haa. Congratulations."
Then I handed the bouquet of flowers to them.
"Aunt Kat this is for Nicholas."
"Thank you, Rosalyn."
"What is she doing here?"
I bite my lip and look at Jasmin. I already expect this, but it does hurt so much.
