Mia's pov:
Everything was finally going right for me.
Jare as my boyfriend. Seeing him was hard due to my part-time job.
And Jay's engagement? Thank god it got stopped.
But why did Jare want to meet me today.
I went to our usual meeting spot when I saw my sitting at the bench.
"Hey, what did you want to talk about? Is jay ok?"
He chuckled.
"Yes she's ok....And.....I want to tell you something. I don't want to hide things from you Mia..."
I nodded. I braced myself for something bad.
"Mia...I'm a Mariano....."
My brain short-circuited.
A mariano
They rule the government at US. All they state. There rules are the laws.
"W-what"
"I'm Jasprit Jare Mariano"
I stared at him.
"Why did you never tell me?"
"I-I wanted to really but my family didn't allow me to. Moreover, I wanted Jay to feel safe. S-she's broken with no memories Mia I don't want to see her hurt."
I understood that.
I'm just a poor girl while he.....is a wealth person.
"I don't care about what my family think....I only care about what Jay things and god she loves you! Everytime I talk about you.....she seems really excited."
I stared. at what?
I had no idea.
"Oh...."
Seriously oh? Mia!
"I'm an assassin"
Assassin. He kills people.
He's a bad guy!
My head snapped towards him. Ouch! How do giraffe's manage their long heavy neck???
"Your a bad person!"
I stood up ready to run away. But he caught my wrist.
"I'm not a bad person! I only kill bad people" He answered voice low.
I frowned.
"Anything else?"
"Will you come with me nyc" He closed his eyes shut and asked in one breathe.
the question blanked me.
Should I say yes...
Should I say no....
I have no one here. He needs to go back home too.
"I will come Jare...I have no one here!" I smiled faintly at him.
He smiled back and hugged me.

Jay's pov:
Am I going crazy, or am I already insane?
So annoying!
That thing—on New Year's.
I said yes!
YES!
fuck!
I'm his gf now!
I kissed him!
Ugh!
This is so frustrating! Every time I remember it—ugh! My heart starts racing. My face feels hot.
I got up from the bed. Back to school already—it happened so fast. I didn't even feel or enjoy the New Year celebration.
Started greeting everyone downstairs.
tss. the horoscope still has a grumpy face. Why doesn't he have a oath for not have one.
The grim reaper? He's not any better.
I shouldn't have begged Jare if I could back here. But I only came back for Tita. She was always a mom figure. I came only because she wanted me too.
My sight landed on my mom. Biological mom. She smiled.
Ugh! A fake smile dipped in honey.
I rolled my eyes.
"What's your decision? You'll stay in that stupid section of yours?" Aries asked me.
"Yes"
I got up from the chair and left for school.
Just like always Jare picked up and dropped me at school. He's my personal driver. Or rather worried that I might act stupid.
I was walking toward the classroom when an arm pulled me
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
I closed my eyes shut shouting.
"Tss. you wear too much lip gloss. Tempts to kiss you!"
I opened and saw.
Keifer.....
He was smirking.
"Gago!" I yelled
"you scared me!"
He laughed in response.
