4 Sweet kissed on the first day we meet.

after a few seconds of staring into each other's eyes, the handsome man closed his eyes. He lowered his head, slowly landed his lips on the top of Leah's plum lips, he was enjoying their kiss, while the girl could only be stunned.

Leah was shocked and rounded her eyes. They were kissing, she could feel warm and wet lips on hers. Oh my God, she kissed this handsome strange man.

It wasn't just Leah who was surprised. Almost all the guests in the cafeteria stood up and closed their open mouths. What was Max doing there with a girl? Did he sell his pride?

This was what kissing feels like. Max felt a strange sensation in his heart. Something warm and beautiful, a fluffy and sweet taste. For the first time, he didn't want to let go of this first kiss.

The man forgot to control himself, his palm gently stroking Leah's arm. His tongue started to play, knocked on Leah's lips. He wanted to enjoy the wall of the girl's mouth in front of him. This girl was so sweet and tantalizing. He wanted more.

Hey, Max, there were lots of girls who wanted that kiss from the first day of school, why did you choose a minimarket worker who was just an ordinary girl! Were you crazy!

"Oh my God!" Alex couldn't believe his eyes. He tried to pull Max's back shirt, trying to fight against Max's stout body, to stop their hot kiss.

"How dare you!" Alex raised a fist.

Max didn't hear Alex shout. Moreover, the tugged behind his back felt like nothing. Alex's power was too weak for Max.

"Agghh!!" maybe Alex couldn't stop you, but not me!

Max was holding his 'junior' that Leah had just kicked. The girl wiped her lips and spat out. She chuckled emotionally then walked away leaving Alex's blanked face and Max who was in pain.

"Are you okay bro?" Asked Alex anxiously.

Leon joined in, he immediately approached his friend and concerned about Max who just gave a free show for students here.

"Damn that wretched woman!" Leon grumbled irritably.

"What did you say about my cousin!" Alex replied angrily. Max and Leon were shocked. "What!".

In a modern city with advanced technology, the streets were crowded with luxury cars in several corners of the city that feel jammed. While downtown, the atmosphere looked different, it was so beautiful and neat. The sculptures adorned every corner of the city giving an eccentric impression with a touch of high art, modern designed skyscrapers, entertainment venues grew like mushrooms in the rainy season as growth as shops and fast-food restaurants.

X was a very developed city with a society that tends to be individualistic, a typical modern city! And here where the stories began …

Morning activities were no different inside a rental house in a narrow corner of town where Leah started her daily routine.

"How are you today? Are you okay?" Leah walked toward Lauren's bedroom.

"Did you feel something?" Leah's face was worried about the progress of Lauren's health.

"Tell me, aunt, I'm so worried about you!"

Lauren nodded slightly, it was obvious that Leah's face was so worried about her.

She didn't want to make Leah did not focus on work today. So she tried to pull a smile even though her body was feeling sick and weak.

"No Leah, go to work and don't think too much about me. I'm okay," she said, she lied to Leah.

Of course, Leah couldn't believe what Lauren said, she turned her head one more time before leaving her aunt.

Looked at Leah, the girl was growing up well, her golden hair was shining, her eyes were bright blue with sharp corners of her nose. Her face was beautiful like Princess Aurora in a sleeping beauty fairy tale.

Even though she lived in a densely populated and poor neighborhood, her aura of beauty did not fade away. Leah indeed shouldn't live here.

Lauren sighed heavily, she felt something heavy in her head and made her dizzy. She was advised by her doctor not to get stressed, but Lauren couldn't help to thought a lot about Leah.

Their house was too cramped where the bedrooms were filled with all kinds of things. There was a cupboard that could hardly hold clothes anymore, a small kitchen that could only cook standing up, and a small living room. In the living room, there was not only an old sofa there but also a mattress.

Her son Alex, was five years older than Leah. Because the house only had two bedrooms, Alex had to give in to his cousin.

Alex gave his room to Leah, and he slept in the small living room. He also rarely came home. That was why Lauren's health dropped so easily. She always thought of Leah and her son, Alex.

"He should get out of this house!" Lauren said desperately.

She slumped back on the bed, thinking about her son making her headache worse. She put her head on the pillow and tried to rest but still, her mind wandered everywhere.

"So … She's your cousin?" Leon asked with prancing eyebrows.

Jeez, he really couldn't believe what was happening. The two siblings made his handsome friend embarrassed. Leon really couldn't stop thinking about what had happened here.

"Don't you know how to be polite! Ah … Poor families are troublesome!"

"Hey man! Watch your mouth!" Alex clenched his fists towards Leon.

The two men tightened their faces, their jaws moved firmly, their eyes glanced at each other.

"Oh… How dare you! You will regret it. Don't you know who we are?" He said to Alex.

Alex laughed sarcastically at Leon's annoyed face. He swept over Leon's appearance before taking a step away. His eyes locked at the embroidered jacket Leon and Max were wearing. This campus student!

Alex stepped slowly with his annoying face. He approached Leon with a small grin, his hand touched the hem of Leon's jacket, then threw it away violently, made Leon want to immediately put a fist on Alex's defiant face.

Alex chuckled then stepped back and raised his hands in the air as if he didn't want to get into trouble with the two young men wearing the same jacket standing here. He left Max and Leon carefree.

Leon was annoyed by that thug's behavior. He couldn't even say a word staring at Alex's steps leaving him.

"Hey … Wait a minute!" Max's voice made Alex stop his steps.

What else, he had given up and chose to leave them.

"Did you say about that Saturday night party at Mercy's nightclub, didn't you?" asked Max curiously.

Alex kept silent.

"Why do you force a girl to a party, isn't she is your cousin!" He still didn't intend to answer the question, so Max asked another question.

"Hey, answer him!" shouted Leon interfering. Indeed, his hobby is interfering with these two kids.

Alex tightened his jaw, he turned and looked at Max's face and then a glimpse of Leon's face. A gaze that made Leon gasp a little, while Max looked very relaxed.

"That is none of your business!" Alex replied with short words, he was about to continue his steps, leaving this area.

"Did you take the bet and target that girl ?!" Max still wanted to know.

Alex couldn't lie, heard the sentence just now his pupils had rounded, Max guessed exactly right.

Max knew a little about gambling at nightclubs that bet on innocent girls, they were looking for virgins. Maria often talked about the game and how interesting it was to see the innocent girl have to be their target.

Moreover, girls who didn't know anything, usually just came from the village and were tricked by that bad boy. They even joined special groups, looking for and targeting young, innocent women.

"Don't do it. How much money did you make by targeting your cousin?" asked Max boldly.

Alex was surprised at Max who wants to get involved with his business.

"It is nothing for a rich young man like you!" said Alex shrugged lightly. His face was so annoying. Was a punk always shameless like him?.

Max took the wallet in his jacket. He didn't like to bring cash, but today was an exception. There were a few dollars that he wanted to deposit in the bank, he kept them off until his money looked much in his wallet. He took out a few dollars.

Alex knit his brows, why was he so curious about my business? His mind was anxious but his eyes focused to see the dollars Max was counting.

"That's none of your business anyway …" murmured Alex with his eyes fixed at the sheets of Max's wallet.

"Is this enough? " Max held up a few dollars.

Instantly Alex's face turned happy. The few dollars on his face right now were very appealing.

Leon looked at Max with a surprised face, what was his friend doing?

"Max, he said it's none of your business …" Leon grumbled.

He pulled Max's arm away from Alex, they better sit back at the café.

"That's enough!" Alex's voice was excited.

He happily took the money from Max's hand. It's rare for someone to give money just like this, of course, he wouldn't waste it.

"Ah, wait a minute!"

Alex looked at Max's face, he was trying to think about this money. Who will give free money on this day, where you should pay to pee.

"Do you want the girl?" Alex muttered suspiciously.

His eyes pointed at Leah at the convenience store, what kind of cousin is he! He is money-oriented punk.

Leon rolled his eyes in disbelief. What's with his morning mood, he felt a headache right now.

Meanwhile... Max followed Alex's eyes. He glanced at Leah, who was busy serving customers in the glass-walled room.

"What do you want, just say it!" said Alex with a look in his eyes that implied lots of meanings.

"Do you want her to climb on your bed?" asked Alex.

But what this curly man said made Max laugh.

"Why? I promise you, I will bring her to your room!" Said Alex convincingly.

Max felt even funnier with words Alex just said.

"You're having a hard time getting her to parties and you promised me you would take her to my room?" asked Max in a flat tone, his voice sounded heavy.

"I think … Your cousin is more expensive than the dollar you have received!" replied Max.

The handsome man wiped his blonde hair, he turned and stepped away from Alex's position.

The sun was already warm, reflecting off his soft and silky hair. The man chuckled until the corners of his eyes sharpened. He was very handsome with a smile on his lips, revealing fangs that made his face even more attractive.

He left Alex who only cared about money and alcohol parties!

Max followed Leon back to the café where they left the snacks waiting to be tasted.

His elegant steps, broad shoulders in a dark shirt made Maximilian Eduardo's charm even crazier for girls.

Once again, Max stopped his steps, he turned towards the convenience store, staring at the busy female worker inside.

Unexpectedly his eyes met Leah's, they stared at each other for a few seconds.

The two of them compactly looked away, throwing away the strange feeling that made his chest flutter. The man held back a small smile on his pinkish lips.
