Taste

Alesha was spotted at the library, as usual, she was busy reading and spending time there. Bella was also seen accompanying her best friend, even Meena who had hardly been to the library was seen often with her at that place.

Since he met Alesha, Meena seemed to be around her and the girl didn't mind either. Meena was very kind and always helped her. Meena often confessed his feeling as well, but Alesha always found a way to reject him gently. But he never gave up, he usually showed his care and seriousness, so many girls who used to be close to him felt envy and furious at Alesha.

One of those girls was Amber who had been in love with Meena for a long time. Countless times she had confessed her love but Meena always rejected her with a gentle smile. That woman even got desperate to give him the stimulant drug and deliberately fed her body, but her attempt was thwarted by George. Now seeing her loving man closed to other women, of course, she will not remain silent.

"Just watch, what I'm going to do to you, bitch..!" She said, staring furiously at Alesha.

Meanwhile, at the palace George and his younger sister, Charlotte were seen playing chess in the park, they both often spent time playing chess together. But this month, George had been seen frequently at the palace. He even often asked Charlotte to play chess almost every single afternoon. So she was surprised by her brother's attitude.

"Why did you never come to campus lately, brother?" She asked while seriously watching George's movements on the chessboard.

"I'm already about to finish college, so, naturally, I want to be more relaxed," George replied casually.

Charlotte just raised her eyebrows as she continued playing. "Well, there is good news for you." She said changing the subject.

"What is it?" he said while kept his movement on the chessboard.

"Prince Silvia has arrived from her vacation. She would be here to have dinner with the family." Charlotte looked up at her brother with a mischievous grin, she knew her brother's thought.

Hearing that, George was silent and looked at his sister seriously. He didn't want to meet her annoying fiancé. He intended to disappear from this palace right now.

"I was just remembering my colleague's appointment this afternoon. Let's play another time." He said as he rushed to his chamber. Charlotte just let her brother left herself, she knew if George didn't like his fiancé. She also knew that her brother suddenly left the palace only to avoid that possessive woman, and Charlotte supported him.

George was driving his car, breathed a sigh of relief. He was temporarily free from the big problem which almost hit him. He couldn't bear the thought of spending time with that possessive creature even just looking at her.

Not long after, he entered the campus gate and parked his car. It was seen the campus was still busy that afternoon. All eyes of the women focused on the handsome prince, he just smiled warmly as he walked away. That smile was enough to make those women hysterical.

George never cared, not a single woman who could take his attention until he met that girl for the first time. The girl who could drive him crazy and hard to forget, all attempts to get rid of her in his mind were unsuccessful. He even missed her figure even more and hoped to meet her.

Meanwhile, Alesha looked busy in her reading at the library like that place was her second home. Bella who was boring and wanted to get home still tried to ask Alesha to stop her activity and went home. But Alesha persisted to stay, she still refused to go home.

"If you want to get home, just leave. I have to finish my task first then go home, just leave me, don't worry." Alesha convinced Bella while smiling.

"But what if there is something happen to you? Come on Alesha, just go home. I promise to company you back to here tomorrow." Bella felt uneasy to leave her best friend.

"Bella, don't worry okay? I'll be fine." Bella could only sigh and nodded. "Be careful, okay? I'm leaving. See you." She said then walked out, living Alesha alone.

After Bella left, Alesha continued her work till the day started to turn dark. She then tidied up all books, returning them to the place, and rushed out of the library. But her step stopped, she felt like someone was following her.

She turned and looked surrounding, but nothing suspicious. She walked towards her locker, put all her equipment inside before finally she stepped to the washroom for refreshing her face.

All the while, the figure in black and wearing a hat, face covered with a mask and sunglasses was completely unrecognizable. Moving towards the washroom Alesha was and quickly locked from outside then took the key with her.

Alesha who already looked fresher walked towards the door and intended to open it. Weirdly, the door couldn't be opened. She tried again and again but it was not working. Alesha began to get frustrated and scared too, she asked for help but seemed no one answered.

"Oh God, is this trial again? Please not now." She muttered anxiously. The watch on her wrist noticed at 6:30 PM and no one could help her, would she be locked up in the washroom all night long? She was even more panicked. If only he followed Bella to get home, surely this incident wouldn't have happened, she regretted it. But it useless if she just remained silent lamenting her bad luck, she had to do something.

Alesha then calmed her mind for a moment began looking for a way to get out of the room. Her eyes spotted a window but unfortunately, it was too high to be reached. Her gaze circulated throughout the room and saw a pile of old chairs, Alesha piled them up but they were still not enough to reach the window.

Her round eyes finally saw aboard, she lifted the board with great difficulty put it on the pile of chairs. She carefully started to climb until she finally reached the window and opened the shutter. With her slim body, she could easily get out of the window and without thinking much, she jumped down.

"Bruuuuukk..!" there was a sound of falling objects. Alesha was very sure it was from her broken bone. She didn't care anymore all she wanted was how she could get out of that place as soon as possible.

Strangely, the pain she had predicted wasn't felt at all. Instead, she felt something warm beneath her body. Her lips also felt like something was sticking and soft but she didn't know what it was. Then slowly she opened her eyes and…

"Aaaaaaaaakhhhh…!" she screamed reflexively.
