Chapter 53 After a few days, before Liviaâs fatherâs birthday. After that, time moved like water falling from the mountains, flowing freely no matter what.
Yes, it rotates without taking sides with anyone. With the exact duration of 24 hours for all humans.
This morning the level of Damianâs torture went up. Thatâs what Livia had in mind. For Damian, this is proof of the depth of his feelings.
Damian asks for a good morning kiss before leaving the room.
âWhy? Donât want to?â Damianâs index finger was already pointing at Liviaâs forehead.
Livia smiled cheerfully. Acting.
âOf course, I want to, my darling. I will do every day full of happiness.â Her face was as bright as the sun that began to warm the earth.
âYouâre looking for opportunities. Itâs so fun to kiss me that you want to do it every day. Even though I only want today.â Sneaky grin. âSince youâre the one begging, do it every day.â
Livia trembled in annoyance as she walked down the stairs, following Damianâs footsteps.
While cursing, Livia drove the car slowly, entering the high gates of the famous universities in this city.
She parked her vehicle in a particular parking lot for university guests.
Ask the security guard who is on guard. The security guard explained by pointing to the area that Livia asked about.
âThank you, Sir,â said Livia politely.
âYouâre welcome. Who are you looking for?â
âMy younger brother. Iâm sorry to trouble you.â Livia smiled casually.
âItâs okay, Miss.â
Livia walked the path with small steps while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Itâs nice, young people who are just starting their dreams and learning to fight for their dreams.
âStudy hard, brothers and sisters. Enjoy your life properly, and be a successful person who can make you happy and the people you care about.â
Livia saw several young kids huddled together, talking loudly. âOh, how sweet,â she mumbled. âThis is normal life. I have to do my best so that David can still enjoy this kind of normal life.â
âSister Livia!â someoneâs scream interrupted Liviaâs thoughts.
She saw her brother waving from a distance. He was seen saying goodbye to the two friends beside him and then running approached Livia.
âSister, why are you here? We can make an appointment where to meet.â
âItâs okay. Letâs go.â Livia grabbed her brotherâs arm, wrapped her arms around him, and walked hand in hand. âWould you like to have lunch first?â
âSister, do you want to eat in the campus canteen? The food here is pretty good. There is a canteen near the lake too.â David explained excitedly, pointing to the cafeteria near the campus lake.
Liviaâs face immediately lit up with joy. She finally can eat with fellow humans in a place with a beautiful view. She nodded her head.
David laughed, understanding that his sister was excited. Then he grabbed Liviaâs arm, inviting her to follow in his footsteps.
âThen, letâs go.â David nudged Liviaâs arm.
âOkay. I really want to study at your campus. Itâs beautiful.â
âHaha, letâs take a picture, Sister.â David took out his cellphone, and then they took a photo with a view of the lake as a backdrop.
âItâs good. Iâll send it to you, okay?â
Livia shook her head. Then, she also took some photos of David alone and the beautiful view of the lake.
This lake looks like an artificial lake because of the foundation stones on each side. But it still makes the heart feel comfortable while being blown by a gentle wind.
The trees around the lake make fresh air. Feels superb and comfortable. Everywhere is beautiful, and food is something that is interconnected.
Livia was stunned by the view in front of her.
âSister, are you okay?â
Actually, this is what David has been holding back. He knows that Livia will always put on a smiling face all day long when she is with him.
But he wasnât a kid to be fooled by that smile. Heâs an adult now. He knows when itâs time to be happy or share his sisterâs sadness.
âStill worried, huh?â She rubbed her brotherâs head. âI am fine.â
Drinks came, and they enjoyed their order while gazing at the calm lake.
There is no sadness in such a calm lake, all the creatures that inhabit it really live peacefully, as calm as the waterâs surface.
âSis.â
âHmm?â
âDad was very upset when he found out I didnât want to do an internship at the company.â Livia stopped her daydream and focused turned to her brother. âHe was threatening not to give me money.â
âDad said so? Then what about your mother?â
She couldnât believe dad had gone that far with his beloved son.
âListen first, but after I said that my internship application was accepted by Alexander group....â
Before David could finish the sentence, Livia cut in in a surprise. âWhat?! Are you an apprentice there?â
Livia suddenly feels uncomfortable. She was about to break free, but why was her family getting more and more attached to Damian little by little.
âYes, out of about two hundred thousand applicants, I was selected this year among 200 people. I donât know where I will be placed yet, and information will be provided during training later.â
âIsnât this just a coincidence? Yes, it could be just a coincidence. David is a smart child, and his grades are always the best on campus. Itâs just a coincidence. Thereâs no way Damian would take care of an apprenticeâs problem.â Livia tried to convince herself.
âThen dadâs reaction..?â Back to continue the story of David, rather than being haunted by panic about Damian.
âItâs very nice! To prostrate gratitude, he gave me double pocket money.â Davidâs voice was bitter, apologizing to Livia.
âHaha. Never mind! Just enjoy what dad gave you.â Livia was laughing. She tried to comfort her brother.
âSister, do you know that sister Lisa has now signed a drama and advertising contract?â David continues the story about the family. Even though Livia didnât ask, but this was what she wanted to know, if all was well.
âThat good,â She replied not very enthusiastically.
âMother sold the name Alexander Group.â
âDid mother confess to everyone that Mr. Damian Alexander is her son-in-law?â Livia was worried about herself.
âNo, they definitely donât have the courage to do it. However, Mr. Damianâs secretary has reminded mom and dad to maintain their attitude. So Iâm sure they wonât be that bold.â
But what did mom do to make Lisa enter the entertainment circle?â Livia was worried, but she stopped to think about it.
âIâm grateful. Donât make a mess with Mr. Damian.â
âThose damn bastards can do anything beyond the normal human mind like us. Every night, he always hugs me and caresses my body with his hands. Then, when he is in tune, he will ask me to serve him. But itâs impudent that he always finds tactics like me to seduce him.
Liviaâs hands are exasperated and annoyed. Because almost after the first night, she could never again sleep peacefully.
Almost every night, he has the mood to make love with her. And now it looks like it is her job.
Every day, he always comes home on time, as happy as it torments her.
