"Who did you let into our room?" She asked and he gulped.
"I didn't let anyone I promise" He said and she tore his neck a little earning a groan from him.
"Answer me!!" She yelled and a snap of the finger was heard making them freeze.
The shadow stepped out of the corner he was staying and took the knife away.
He wanted to stab her but he changed his mind.
He stepped into the corner and snapped his fingers.
Andrea wanted to plung the knife deeper into his neck but her eyes widened when she didn't see the knife.
"What did you do with the knife?!" Andrea yelled at the man.
"Ion know miss. Please spare me" He said clasping his hands together.
Andrea looked at her sisters before leaving the office.
"Your days are numbered Griffin. We'd come for you soon, be careful" Alicia said and left with Alexa.
He exhaled bringing out a tissue from his drawer to wipe the blood on his neck.
The shadow came out of the corner and walked towards him. He leaned in and touched his neck. The wound sealed up immediately and his eyes widened.
"Wrap a bandage around your neck and the moment you let out anything about me, I'd kill you within a second" He said and disappeared.
Mr Griffin touched his neck and smiled.
THE NEXT MORNING »★ CHEN'S COOPERATION »★
Taylor was working on a project when her PA knocked on the door.
"Come in" She said without looking up from the project she's doing.
Her PA stepped in and she looked up at her.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"You said I should keep tabs on the Miller's family and I did. Mr Gabriel Miller is here" The lady said.
"What?!" Taylor said with wide eyes.
"He's back but I don't know why" She said and Taylor dialled Ariel's line but it wasn't going.
"He shouldn't touch my daughter" She mumbled and saved the project on the computer before switching off the computer.
She stood and put on her brown long jacket before carrying her handbag.
"Take care of the office. If there's any problem, let me know" Taylor said and the lady nodded.
"Alright goodbye" She said and left the office rushing to her car. She ignited the engine before driving off speedily to Maxwell University.
She alighted from the car and walked into the school. The students stared at her and some began murmuring.
• "She's curvy"
• "She's pretty"
• "She's literally older than y'all"
She went to Ariel's room and knocked on the door.
"Who's that?" Ariel's tired voice sounded.
"It's your mum. Open the door" Taylor said and Ariel sat up rubbing her eyes slowly.
"Open" She mumbled the door opened.
Taylor ran into the room and hugged Ariel tightly.
"Are you okay?" Taylor asked and Ariel furrowed her brows.
"Why the question? I'm fine though but I'm exhausted" Ariel said sleepily.
"Ariel, once there's any problem and you can't take it anymore, please tell me so I'd take you out of this school." Taylor said and Ariel looked at her.
"There's no problem I can't overcome especially with the friends I've made lately. I'd be fine mum, this is part of college life yunno" Ariel said sleepily and fell to the bed going back to sleep.
Taylor stared at her before letting out a sigh.
"That's what your mother always thought" Taylor said and arranged the duvet well on her before exiting the room. She tried closing the door but she couldn't. Ashley opened her eyes and saw her before sitting up.
"It's voice activated. You can go, I'd close it" She said and Taylor stared at her for a while before nodding.
"Thank you" She said and left the room.
"Close" Ashley said and the door closed.
She laid back down on the bed drifting off to sleep.
10 AM »★ HALLWAY »★
Ariel and Ashley were standing by their lockers talking about a movie when a loud scream was heard.
They turned their gaze to where the scream was heard and saw people moving out of the way bowing.
Ten bodyguards were behind him and his daughters were by his side as he approached Ariel. His cold gaze on her didn't frighten her but it did to other students.
Everyone bowed including Ashley but she didn't.
"Bow Ariel" Ashley said.
"Why should I do that? He's not a god" Ariel said and Ashley sighed.
He got to them and Ariel stared at the man.
"She's the one daddy" Andrea said wiping her fake tears.
"Why did you destroy my daughters room?" He asked.
"That's a false accusation sir, I didn't do that" Ariel said.
"Stop lying would you?! This was the guy you sent" Andrea said pointing at one of the male student.
He stepped forward and knelt in front of the man's leg.
"I was ordered by Ariel to do that. She said she'd pay my mother's bills if I helped her and I agreed cos I really need help in paying her bills" He said and Gabriel looked down at the boy.
He looked at two guards and they understood what he meant. They walked to him and carried him up taking him away.
"But that's not true, ion even know that guy" Ariel said.
"The students are a witness to what happened. They heard her tell me that she'd destroy my room because someone destroyed hers. Isn't that true?" She asked and almost all the students screamed yes.
"What the fúck is wrong with y'all?!! I don't remember saying that, why are y'all lying?!!" Ariel yelled.
"Enough" Gabriel said and Ariel looked at him.
He stared at her for a while before facing two bodyguards. They understood what he meant and they came to her holding her from both sides by the arm.
"Let me go!!!" She yelled struggling to break free from them.
"Let me go, I'm innocent. Let me go!!!" She yelled.
"Let her go" A cold voice said from behind and everyone took their gaze towards the person who spoke.
