Leonica sighed, and tumed to the male. "You, what's your name?"

He flashed her a small smile and answered. "Jamil Vanadas."

The name called effortlessly off his tongue that to the others present, it meant nothing, but to Leonica, who was currently trying her best to keep her expression neutral it meant everything. She knew himm

Who wouldn't recognize the face of their high school bully. The one person who, along with his goons, had nearly made life a living bell, despite all the authority and riches she had thanks to her family name,

he did manage to get her a small smile before saying "That's the answer I expected to hear. But," he took a step forward, closing the distance in a way Leonica didn't like but she stood her ground. "Do you think you can reject me that easily, Leonica?" She frowned. "I had my way back in high school, and have it now. I want you, and I will do anything, and I mean anything, to have you.
