CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING OF THE INEVITABLE

LUIS MARCO DE VALDERAMA

She heard it right. Yes she did. The Master of the ceremony have just announced the guest speaker of this year's Press Conference.

And her heart froze. Her eyes fixed to the man on stage and now speaking before the crowd.The people are all listening to his commanding but charming voice except her. Her heartbeat felt so loud she could possibly hear the sound of blood going back and forth in her system. It is defeaning. She could no longer understand what is going on. All she wanted to do now is to evaporate.

"How can I leave without him noticing me? " She said to herself,her thoughts in panic.

Andrea's coed must have sensed her discomfort. She felt her tap on her shoulder.

"Hey, Rhea.Whats going on you? You look so pale and sweating?

"Ah, Y-yes Mam Gina. I think I need to go the comfort room. " she just said out of nothing useful to say.

"Come now, let me go with you. Wait for me, I will just instruct the children to wait for us here. "

"Yes, Mam. Thanks. " She answered uneasily. Her eyes flew back to the stage but was surprised that the person who was then standing speaking to the crowd is now sitting on one of the chairs intended for the VIPS, beside the Schools Division's Superintendent.

what really quakes her in her stance is when she realized those dark cold eyes met hers like freezingly sharp razors that are intentionally poked towards her chest.

A rain of shivers run through her spine. .

The familiar feelings is haunting her once more but this time it seems louder and menacing.

She stopped the awkward connection with him by summoning all her strength to turn back.

This can't be. This can't be happening again.
