It morning on the private jet.
Hammed asleep as his phone rang.
Fariha didn't want to wake him up, so she picked it up.
"Hammed, you brat! I have been calling you!" the man said.
"Assalamu Alaikum (Greetings), sir. He asleep, sir," she said.
He heard her calm voice.
"Are you the girl who is getting married to him?" he said.
"Y…Yes, sir," she said.
"What your name?" he said.
"My name is Fariha. Am Hindi Muslim," she said.
"Your voice is extremely calm. Are you one of those with sweet voice but can deceive people?" he said.
"No, no, sir. Am not. You sound angry with him, sir. Is everything okay?" she said.
He sighed.
"That stubborn boy doesn't want to come home nor talk to me for years now. He cuts the call on his own father and family. I just want to see my son," he said.
"Can I make you a promise, sir?" she said.
"Yes," he said.
"I will make sure he comes home to you. I swear by Allah name I will. This is my promise," she said.
"If you are able to do that, dear, trust me, I will give you anything you want for your wedding. It will be grand," he said.
"I promise," she said.
As the call ended, after a few minutes Hammed woke up.
"Jaan (Love?)" he said, yawning.
She gave him water.
He drank.
"Promise me something," she said.
"Yes, love. Tell me," he said, rubbing his face.
"We will go to your family after mine," she said.
He looked at her.
She blinked slowly.
"Jaan (Love)… my family… is filled with snakes. For people I don't want to go there," Hammed said.
"Hmmmm," she pouted adorably.
He stared at her.
"Fine. For you I will, but you will not be sad, no cry and falling for any tricks. Promise?" he said.
"I promise," she said.
He smiled at her.
I can't wait to hold you in my arms, he whispered in his mind.
Another bad day for Lilith.
She rubbed her face as she got to class.
She sat on the chair.
"Lily has been having a bad day," Gloria said.
"No kidding. Remember when she took us out when we were having our bad days?" Wiktor said.
"Yeah. Ice cream, parks. It was all fun," Gloria said.
After class Lily washed her face and hands, tied her hair into a ponytail for the sports, and moved onto the field.
Fast although she was short, she made it to the goal.
She and her team scored 30 points.
"That rock!" her team members said.
Meanwhile…
Nino applied lip gloss.
"Her tummy hurt. I think I got my period early," she said.
"No… maybe it just hunger," she said.
Maeva watched her phone.
They walked out together, but there was blood stain on the seat.
Maeva saw it.
She giggled and took pictures.
She sent it to the group.
Nino typed on her phone.
People laughed at her as she walked.
"Why is everyone laughing at me?" she said.
"Oh, nothing," Maeva said.
"Looks like you need to wash off," Maeva said.
Some students poured water on Nino.
"WHAT THE HELLL!!!!" she said.
"Oops."
Lily walked to the hall and saw them.
The Obsidian Circle too.
"Eva, what the meaning of this!?" she said.
"Nio, your stained with blood. It your period," Alara said.
"WHAT!?" Nino said.
She touched her back and saw blood.
Maeva also posted it on the group and online too.
"How could you do this to Eva? We are best friends!?" Nino said.
Maeva rolled her eyes.
"Our dads are getting the deal today, so you aren't useful anymore. Beside, dad gonna beat your dad and become the 3rd richest man in Russia," Maeva said.
Nino moved back, shocked by her words.
"You aren't my… you were never my best friend," she said.
"Yeah. She so with your ex-boyfriend. She the one who he cheated on with," Yamini said.
Nino was the laughing stock of the school.
Her back hit the wall.
Lilith walked to Nino.
She looked up.
Lilith took off her suit and tie.
Nino's waist held her.
"I warned you, Nio," Valan said.
Nino cried.
Maeva laughed.
Lily gave her a heavy slap.
SLAP!
Maeva fell down.
"STOP LAUGHING! IT NOT FUNNY!!!" Lilith said.
The students stopped laughing.
"You all are girls. Imagine if this happened to you. How will you all feel, huh!?" she said.
The girls lowered their heads.
"Honestly, I will never forgive her," a girl said.
Nino looked at Lilith.
The same girl she been bullying.
Hurting her.
Maeva looked at her.
"You will pay for this!" she said, walking out.
Lily looked at Nino, who was soaked in her designer uniform.
Her mascara stained.
Lily bent down.
"Get on," she said.
"Huh?" Nino said.
"Get on," she said.
Nino, a senior student, got on Lilith.
The junior student in her first year helping her.
Defending her.
She saw her own best friend from childhood's true colors.
Nino on Lily back.
"Take me to her house," Lilith said.
The group nodded.
Nikolai was checking his project.
"Boss, your phone is here, and Lilith sent 200 hundred messages," Damian said.
He quickly took it.
Each message broke him.
His phone got damaged in an underground match where he won against 10 strongest men.
He read the last message about her school dance.
It her first dance.
He sighed.
"Get the jets ready. We are now done with everything. I got to take my woman to her first dance," he said.
"She mad at you, boss," Damian said.
"I know. I will handle it," he said.
The teams continued showing him the work.
Inside a blue penthouse mansion.
Mr. Tikhon sat with his team laughing.
The doors opened.
The tiny woman walked in with Nino on her back.
"Excuse me, sir. Are you Mr. Tikhon?" Lilith said.
They turned to see her holding his daughter.
"Yes. And you are?" he said.
"Lily. Here is your daughter," she said.
Nino dropped down.
The Obsidian Circle entered.
Mr. Tikhon stood up.
He walked to his daughter.
She was dripping.
He held her shoulders.
"What happened, baby?" he said.
She didn't say anything.
She traumatized.
Yamini spoke.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY CHILD!?" Mr. Tikhon shouted.
Lilith moved forward.
She removed her necklace.
"I believe you know this logo?" she said.
He read it.
His eyes widened.
"Y…Y…You are…" he said.
"Yes, I am," she said.
"Tell your father what happened," she said again.
"Daddy… do you love me?" Nino said.
"Yes, baby, I do."
"Daddy… do you truly love me even though am a brat?" she said.
"Yes. My baby. I made you. I spoiled you. Yes," he said.
"Sir, the deal from Donovan Family is here," a guard said.
"Can I see that?" Nino said.
"Baby, daddy business. What happened, baby?" Mr. Tikhon said.
"GIVE THAT USELESS PAPER NOW!!!!!!" Nino shouted.
The guards flinched as they handed her the documents.
She began tearing it.
"Nio!" her father shouted.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nino screamed, tearing the papers.
She threw the papers into the air.
Her father's eyes widened.
"What happened, Nino?" he said.
His voice now extremely dark.
"This…" she said, showing him her hands.
"This is what fucking happened!!!" she shouted, showing him her bloody hands.
"Maeva Donovan did this to me. Her best friend. She was only close to me because of you. Because of this deal to overthrow you and take the deal from Nikolai Devereaux. This is a lie! All a big scam!" Nino shouted.
Lily sat as she sneezed, rubbing her nose.
"Here," Owen said.
"Thank you," she whispered and blew her nose.
"Maeva actually did this?" Mr. Tikhon said.
"Yes. Watch this," Osyth said.
He watched the whole video.
"My father will be the biggest 3rd mafia in Russia, not your dad anymore," Maeva said in the video.
He watched how the students poured water on his daughter.
Nino cried.
Lily carried her on her back and left.
The video ended.
"How dare she?" he said.
"I will be taking my leave. Goodbye," Lilith said with folded hands.
She reached the door.
"Lilith," Nino said.
"Hm?" she said.
"I owe you. Thank you," Nino said.
"You don't owe me anything. Now know the people around you. It will help you, even though you are a brat. Goodbye," she said.
Walking away, she left.
"That girl is dangerous. That logo… nobody in Russia has it. That an old group," Mr. Tikhon said.
"Come, baby. Let help you clean up," he said, taking his daughter to her room.
Mila waddled to her parents' room.
Lilith asleep in the midnight.
Mila lay on the bed and slept off.
Nikolai watched them on his laptop with a soft smile.
The news of his success spread like wildfire.
"Boss, you are invited for The Platinum Legacy Award," Damian said.
"That okay," he said.
He kept reading more messages and also more pictures she sent to him.
