Emma's Pov:

"Come on, Emma; you’re too slow. Does it really have to take you ages to get me a cup of coffee?" Naomi groused as I hurried with a cup of coffee to her.

‘‘And where are the headphones I asked for?" Ivy asked, opening her palms.

"Sorry, Ivy; but I couldn’t find them in the room." I replied lazily, touching my forehead.

"What? Have you gone blind? What do you mean you couldn’t find it?" She groused.

"Come on girls. Maybe the fact that she is going to the Alpha High School has suddenly made her blind." Their mom said and they laughed lightly at me.

"I wonder why she insisted on going there. Does she think she will be able to win any of the lover boys?" Ivy asked and they laughed again. I stood while they all mocked at me.

I bent my head and sniffed.

'No, I couldn’t afford to shed a tear, not on a special day like this.' I said to myself.

"Enough of the jokes; I’ve warned you to stop doing this." I heard his voice and I smiled to see the only man I could call family.

Although he wasn’t my biological family, he had insisted I call him dad. Whenever he’s around, his wife and daughters never get to bully me.

I stood up and embraced him.

"You welcome daddy." I said cheerfully.

"How are you doing Emma?" He asked and patted my hair.

"Everything is fine dad. I can't wait." I said while smiling.

"I know. Just a moment." He said abruptly and climbed down the stairs into the sitting room and touched my hair again.

"Are you ready?" He asked and I nodded with a smile and took my bag from the table.

I looked at his daughters, and their faces were already swollen with rage.

I bent my head and walked out of the room with dad Mr. Douglas.

Mr. Douglas is actually my adopted father. He told me he had found me lying close to the river banks four years ago and he had taken me to the hospital.

But when I regained consciousness, I lost my memories and couldn’t recall a single thing from my past. So, I had no idea where I came from.

Mr. Douglas had even put me up on TV but no one came for me. So, he took me in as his daughter but his wife and kids never accepted me for once. They all saw me as a nuisance and didn’t want to associate with me.

His kids actually study in Washington DC, but just come over for the long vacation.

I’m just a sad, lonely girl who wonders where her family might be and why they never came for her.

Well, thank God I fell into the hands of someone as kind as Mr. Douglas. My daddy.

Right now, I’m going to Alpha High School and I couldn’t believe the millions he spent just to get me admitted. It was mind-blowing, I couldn't believe he would want me to school in one of the best.

It’s actually one of the best schools in the country, but unfortunately, Mr. Douglas is a very busy person and he travels out of the country a lot. As a matter of fact, he will be leaving the country again by tomorrow, and that’s quite sad for me because, each time he isn’t around, his wife and kids make my life a living hell.

Immediately, he grabbed my hands and headed to the main door and we walked straight to the parking lot where his bodyguard was waiting for him. They greeted him and open the back seat door for him.

Zane, his assistant, and the driver started the ignition and we drove. Then, I let out a sweet wide smile.

For once, I had the opportunity to be happy about going to the Alpha High School.

It’s a school for only the rich. Like, very rich and I only got lucky because Mr. Douglas is one of the rich in LOUISIANA, IF NOT THE RICHEST.

I connected my headphones with a lot of excitement.

Yeah, that’s me; I’m actually a music freak. I love singing with passion.

I played one of my favorite songs as I closed my eyes, enjoying the song.

It was “kiss me again” by The Loverboys.

Okay. WHO ARE THE LOVERBOYS?

The Love Boys is the most popular band in the United States, originally made up of five young, Crazily Handsome, and Sparingly Wealthy Boys.

Leo, Aaron, Jack, Lucas, and Oliver.

Wondering why I said “originally”?

Well, that’s because Leo is no longer with them. He unexplainably left the band four years ago, and since then, nobody has ever heard from him again.

He was actually the leader of the band, but since he left, Aaron took over as the leader.

According to what, I heard, Aaron and Leo were childhood friends and were both lovers of music and as a result, their parents teamed up and signed up with the Alpha Records and opened a band.

The Love Boys.

Then Jack, Lucas, and Oliver who were also close friends of theirs back then, also joined the band.

So, the Love Boys started at a very young age and they were doing pretty well.

But, uncannily, things changed about them and it all started four years ago. Nobody knows exactly what happened to them, but we’re all sure something big must have transpired between them, especially Leo and Aaron.

Leo uncannily left the band and since he left, Aaron also changed. Aaron was a happy flirty guy, but since Leo left, that happy personality of his died off, and he became a sad quiet introvert.

I even heard he was forced by his parents to take over as the band leader.

Another strange thing that happened since Leo left the band is that all the girlfriends Aaron ever had all ended up dead.

Yes, because since Leo left the band, Aaron had had about two girlfriends and they all ended up dead and as a result, he’s been abstaining from the company of girls. He’s been trying as much as possible to avoid any contact with girls and I actually heard, even in the Love Boy’s mansion, there are no female workers there; even their cook is a boy.
