Prey

"Is that for me?" Keira asked excitedly when she saw one of their house helpers brought letters from the mailbox.

It was said that they would receive an official letter with the test results two days in advance before the results would be posted online.

She hurriedly got the letters and scanned each to see if one was addressed to her and her eyes widened.

"Yey! The result is out!" She screamed running to the kitchen to look for her mom.

"Mom! The result is here!" Keira blurted out.

Mrs. Chan's eyebrows arched as she asked, "Why don't you open it, instead of screaming all over the place?"

Keira pursed her lips and slowly handed the letter to her mom and said, "I'm nervous. Please, look at it first, Mom, and tell me what it says."

Mrs. Chan twisted her mouth and grabbed the letter. She opened and read it with a creased forehead. Then, she looked at Keira and said, "Dear, how about you go and study abroad? You said before that you would love to travel the world, right? Why not do that? Or pursue journalism…"

Keira looked sullen and asked, "What, Mom? Did I fail? But I'm confident about that exam, so don't tell me I failed and that's why you are like that?"

Mrs. Chan wanted to burst out in laughter as she stared at her daughter's conflicted look.

She sighed and continued, "You still have a lot of choices on your plate. After you graduate from college, you can return to pursue Zach if you think you still like him or if he is still single."

"Mommm!!!" Keira fizzled out impatiently and snatched the letter from her mom.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…" she screamed as the word 'CONGRATULATIONS' first thing drew her eyes.

"I have passed, Mom! I did it! 95%!!!" She screamed as she hugged her mom tightly.

"Urghhh… Dear, release me, you are choking me." Mrs. Chan complained to Keira who was jumping and hugging her at the same time.

"Mom, I'm gonna call the girls!" She said and kissed Mrs. Chan on the cheek before she ran to the living room where she had left her mobile phone.

Keira quickly called everyone and informed them about the good news. Drey's congratulatory letter had also arrived.

An hour later, Keira received a call from Lana first, followed by May's call afterward.

"Alright guys, let's go out tonight and party all night long!!!" Keira suggested excitedly during their video call.

"I will pick you up guys at 8:00 PM. We will celebrate and get drunk!" She added in her highest spirit.

Then, she called one of her bodyguards at mobile phone and asked, "Did you look into it? Really? Okay, you did great John. We will go there tonight at 8:00 PM. Thanks."

Her eyes were twinkling as her heart started to thump loudly. She would party all night long.

By then, Field Marshal Chan arrived home with a bouquet of flowers. Keira quickly ran towards him at the door and smiled widely.

"See how great your daughter is, Dad? I scored 95! 5 more points and I would have been perfect!" She said proudly, which made Field Marshal Chan laugh as he shook his head.

"You are my blood, dear, so it's a given for you to be wise and intelligent like your dad. I bought these flowers for you. Congratulations, daughter." Keira's father said smiling and handed a bouquet of flowers to Keira.

"Oh, they are beautiful and lovely, Dad." She said and quickly looked inside the arranged flowers to look for something more. Usually, there's a box inside of the bouquet of flowers her dad was giving her, containing her favorite collections of jewelry with best stones.

Field Marshal Chan laughed, seeing his daughter's crumpled face. "You did not exactly pass the Academy exams yet, dear. Remember? There are still physical tests and I heard the final round will be composed of hard challenges, so my congratulatory gift will follow once you pass the final round."

Keira pouted her lips, looked at her father and said, "I want a lot of stones, Dad, once I get admitted to the Military Academy. I'm gonna put these beautiful flowers inside my room, Dad. Thanks…"

She walked towards her room but then paused, turned to look at her dad and said, "By the way, Dad, we will go out tonight to celebrate so I will be home late."

Field Marshal Chan nodded. Then a chuckle escaped him because he knew Keira would just stalk Zach, once more, as it was reported to him by John.

"Tsk, my daughter is very cunning…" he murmured. He really couldn't tell if Zach was lucky or unlucky for becoming Keira's prey. She was now making her moves. He suddenly wondered what would his daughter do once he told her about the matter with the Lius.

"I should tell her about it soon," he muttered as he anticipated how Keira would face the famous Madam Hitler.

'It's like Old Madam Hitler meeting Young Miss Hitler…' he thought with a terrified look.
