Synopsis

Close, yet difficult to reach. That's a sentence that describes the state of a high school girl named Keiyona Daneen. Raised in an inharmonious family, she had to get used to always living a solitary life in her residence located in elite housing. Being a child is what she dislikes the most, so Keiyona herself doesn't even want to just communicate with her parents. However, Keiyona's life, which is used to living alone, begins to fill up with the presence of an established man who suddenly occupies an empty house in front of her house. The presence of the man really changed Keiyona's character into a nosy girl. In fact, he often teases the man just because she feels bored with his empty life. Who would have thought that her nosy nature, which was just to fill the boredom, made Keiyona start to like an established man who turned out to already have a fiancée. Her heart was completely broken, until a trauma that she had experienced again appeared above the surface of his heart. His name is Clayton Regan Stein, as the suspect of Keiyona's biggest heartbreak and the cause of the recurrence of trauma that has never happened for a very long time.

Chapter 1Part 1

Keiyona glanced at her watch briefly. The new hour hand showed the number 7 p.m. and he also had just arrived at her residence which was an elite housing for people who had some money to settle there.

For a moment Keiyona parked her car in the car garage, she could see a middle-aged woman seemingly running small towards her. She frowned at the sight of it at night today.

"Gosh, miss where have you been?!" she asked with a panic expression that was very clearly visible.

Keiyona was even more unable to guess what happened. It's not uncommon for the servant in her house to look panicked like this if it weren't for something.

"What's the matter?" asked Keiyona, who didn't like to make small talk.

The maid waved her hand directly, motioning for Keiyona to get closer to her. Keiyona complied and a sentence that came out of the little whisper made Keiyona begin to understand her current situation.

"The great master and mistress are inside, miss."

A sentence that made Keiyona feel very upset to hear it.

"They know that miss didn't go to school for a week. The master looked furious, miss. It's best that miss doesn't need to go inside. I can help you to get through this." said her servant, who had been working with them for a long time.

Even no matter how troubled Keiyona was, it was only the middle-aged woman who helped her get out of the trouble herself. When no one cares about her, the woman always comes as her savior. An example is like today.

"No need. I can face it myself." said Keiyona who immediately stepped up with a bold step into the area of her house that felt tense.

BUGH!

A raw punch immediately hit Keiyona's right cheek as she stood right in front of the father who showed an expression of his anger. Keiyona didn't cry. She just made a small grimace feeling the rush of fresh blood flowing from the corners of her lips.

"You kid doesn't know yourself!"

PRANG!

Not forgetting that a vase on the table became victim. The broken glass scattered on the floor made Keiyona really feel disgusted with the two old people who were in front of her at this time.

"What does that stupid brain of yours think?! You think your life is just to spend our money?!" shouted the father who hadn't stopped reviling Keiyona who did prefer to be tight-lipped.

"Keiyona did on purpose, pa. Mama has been bothered by calls from her school reporting about her mischief. Mama even had to change her cellphone because of her disgusting act." said the mother, which made Keiyona clench her hands tightly.

"It's more disgusting which one of you two never once wanted to know what I was feeling all along?!" shouted Keiyona who was unable to hold back anymore.

"No need to refute, Keiyona!"

"I'm tired pa! Do you guys think my life is okay? I never even once got my rights as a child."

"Don't shirk it, Kei. You accepted all the money. It's so hypocritical." snapped her mother which made Keiyona feel even more disgusted.

"I don't need money! Can't the three of us become a whole family once? Like a family that loves each other?" said Keiyona with a face that was already perfectly flushed, holding back all the emotions she felt at the moment.

During this time Keiyona chose to be silent. She pretended to be forceful as if she was okay. However, Keiyona couldn't lie to herself. She wanted the affection of her parents, rather than the money he always received from them. Go home once every 3 months and only settle for 2 days at home? Is that what parents call it? No, even long ago it always happened. Even sometimes once every 3 months they can't go home at all.

"No need to dream, Kei. Alright, if you don't need money. From now on we won't send you anymore, how about it?" her mother said again which further frustrated Keiyona.

"Fuck you!"

PLAK!

Again, she felt a sting on her right cheek through the father's slap. The pain and numbness hit her again. Her heart was even more sliced when the mother's laughter sound just exploded.

Damn, she'd better keep quiet.

"Never once have you shouted that word again at your mama! Now go into the room and think about your mistake." said her father again which made Keiyona unable to hold back the tears that were already in the corners of her eyes.

She's not my mom, shit.

Tes.

Damn, why should she cry in front of both parents at this time?!

"Even if you don't think of me as a child, at least give me as much money as hell!" shouted Keiyona again in tears, and then she ran out of the big house owned by her parents.

There's also no point in Keiyona staying inside a house that's more suitable to be called a prison for her. Indeed, Keiyona should not care about such a thing as their affection that she never once got. Keiyona was so stupid to expect that instead. From now on, Keiyona promised herself she wouldn't expect that again. Keiyona wouldn't ask for that disgusting thing again, never would.

"Miss Kei!" cried the female servant again who went straight to Keiyona.

Keiyona didn't care about the woman. She continued to walk out, picked up her car and left leaving the spacious yard of herhouse.

The servant was also concerned about his master's child, whom she had been caring for for a long time. Indeed, the rude attitude of both parents has an impact on their children, which is equally harsh. Keiyona's mischief in school is also the impact of what her parents have done. Even if they can't take the time to visit Keiyona, at least they can keep Keiyona informed every day to encourage her. But in fact, it is not at all. Even when Keiyona had contacted them on a whim, the two did not pick her up. Just contacting back doesn't.

So there really is nothing else to expect but money.

"What a pity you are, Kei."

You Can’t Buy My Love

Mariela "Ella" Alvamiza, an eighteen-year-old first-year college student. She was saddened when she found her things scattered in the hallway of their building. She couldn't pay her friend the share of the rent since she sent the money to her mother. Archer Lopez came from wealthy family. He has no choice but to leave his penthouse when his dad banned him from entering unless he will come home to their mansion. He needed a roommate to share the cost of his newfound place since his beloved parents had frozen all his accounts. Mariela needed a place to stay, and she felt so happy when she found a pamphlet made from scratch paper that someone needed a roommate, and to her dismay, he was a guy, and no other than the renowned handsome and hot playboy of Nagazville University. Excerpt: "Here is the deal. I will allow you to pay 1/4 of the rent, but you have to do the laundry, the cleaning; and cook our meal; if not, you need to pay half of the rent, and one more thing, you can't fall in love with me." Archer said with confidence. "Excuse me, who said I am sharing a room with you and become your maid? How much more to fall in love with someone conceited and self-centered like you? Do you think everyone will like you because of your pretty face? I am sorry to disappoint you, but not everyone at the University is stupid." Mariela snapped at him, and he was shocked because it was the first time a girl showed disinterest in him. Mariela was broke, and she ended up living with Archer, and she found herself entangled with the most popular guy in her university. And when Ella found out that Archer was more than just a pretty face, and she gets to know the real him, she couldn’t stop herself from falling in love with him. One day Archer was compelled to ask Mariela to come home with him to their estate to pretend as his girlfriend as a protest to his parents for manipulating his life. Archer's parents asked him to dump Ella right away after he introduced her to them because they are against their relationship since she doesn’t belong to their world, and that is the time he realized his feelings for her started to get real. He couldn't stop himself from loving his beautiful roommate even if he knew she was way out of his league. Does Archer’s love for Mariela strong enough to stand up against his parents even if it means losing everything he has, including his inheritance? Can Mariela choose love over money the moment she realizes her younger sister's life is at stake and she is the only one who can save her? Warning: Have mature content in the later part of the story.

(Completed) 'No matter what, No matter the time, No matter the place, No matter the century, No matter what's to come, I. will always. CHOOSE. YOU'. Everyone saw her as crazy..... But he saw her as nothing less than perfection. ................... Blurb: "Why?" was the only thing he said. Confused I asked "Why what?" "Why do you always do this to yourself?" the tone in which he spoke almost seemed like he was heartbroken about something. "Do what?" I dared to ask, although I knew already within me I wouldn't like his response. "Conceal your worth" ....................... *Btw book 1 is completely free to read* ....................... Vol 2~ No Matter What. (Completed) Blurb: As I gazed up to him because of how tall he was, he stared right back at me. I could feel the heat not only on my cheeks but on every single part of my body. "Say those words Rica. Say those two little words and I will make that little fantasy in your pretty head into reality" I gulped. Gone was the playful smirk that was once residing on his face. The intense look in his eyes now replaced that. With the little courage I could muster I whispered "Kiss me" A broad smile immediately streched out on his face. He didn't even wait a second before he swiftly complied to my request. ................ After two long years, the heir to the Zora enterprise is finally back. Why is he back after so long? But most importantly, why did he leave in the first place? Join Dili and Rica once again in their ever blissful rollercoaster of emotions. Will Rica be able to forgive Dili for leaving? After all he was the same person that promised he would never leave her all alone. Drama, love, pain, secrets, new characters and also maybe the jiggling of wedding bells? Book 2 most definitely has it all. ................ If you like this small insight of the story then please read on. The only thing I can guarantee you in this story is that it will definitely have a happy ending although for the two characters Rica and Dili to achieve that, they would have too pass through many difficult obstacles on their way to happiness. And trust me this isn't your normal Teenage story that is filled with rainbows and sunshine,(probably seems way too cliché writing this but ehn) there are a lot of gloomy days. If you don't mind that then please by all means do read on. .................. DISCLAIMER!: Note, this is a pure work of fiction. An original story by me.
