Matthew walked alongside her, "Let''s ditch this ce, it''s pretty dull."


    Lemira nced at Matthew''s sunsses, "You always wear those shades, is it some kind of fashion statement?"


    "Yeah, it''s all about looking cool!"


    Matthew awkwardly adjusted his sunsses, striking a pose, "Cool, huh?"


    Janice yed along, "Super cool!"


    They all headed out.


    Lemira and Janice caught a cab and left.


    Matthew stood there, waving goodbye until the cab was out of sight.


    Michel approached, with aplex look, "Dude, don''t tell me you''re falling for her?"


    Matthew had been sticking close to Lemira all night, like a knight in shining armor.


    It was obvious to anyone that Matthew was acting out of the ordinary.


    "What are you talking about, she''s my brother''s girl!"


    "Your brother''s girl, I knew I wasn''t wrong back in Lyria. It really was your brother!"


    Michel had thought he was mistaken.


    Matthew, curious, "What''s he doing in Lyria?"


    "I''m not sure, just saw him with Lemira once and wasn''t sure it was him."


    Now it was pretty clear, it had to be Orion.


    Michel asked, puzzled, "But what about the engagement rumors with Ms. Sinir that have been going on for years, are those false?" "If it wasn''t true, how could it havested so long?"


    "It''s all talk, my mom getting ahead of herself. My brother never acknowledged it, thinking time would make him ept, impossible." Matthew knew his brother well; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.


    Suddenly, Michel removed Matthew''s sunsses, "Who gave you that ck eye?" Matthew quickly snatched his sunsses back, "Who else but my brother?"


    Using sparring as an excuse to check if I''ve gotten rusty, then he hits me!


    At that thought, Matthew pped his forehead, "I almost forgot something important."


    He needed to reveal his brother''s identity to Lemira!


    It''always his brother hitting him for no reason.


    But Lemira was already gone, so Matthew decided to message her, "I have something important to tell you. Message me when you get home."


    He had to tell her today.


    Lemira, in the cab, saw Matthew''s message, curious about what he wanted to say.


    Janice hesitated, "Captain, I think he might have feelings for you."


    "You noticed too?"


    "It''s hard not to, he was all over you tonight, smoothing things over for you, making sure no one bothered you."


    Lemira felt a headacheing on, but she didn''t have feelings for Matthew.


    Although she wasn''t sure if Matthew was the person from her past life, she just didn''t feel it.


    Was this the so-called online romance dying in the light of day?


    The cab first stopped outside the school, Lemira dropped Janice off, then headed to her apartment.


    But as Lemira got out, a sleek ck car pulled up beside her.


    Caspian stepped out, "Lemira, so you live here. Did Thaddeus buy this ce for you?"


    Her expression darkened instantly, "Who told you to follow me?"


    She didn''t want anyone from the Langston family to know where she lived.


    "Lemira, I know you left home in a huff, needing money, wanting to prove yourself, but you can''t let


    yourself be kept by a man! You''reing back with me today!


    Lemira defiantly replied, "You can try."


    Q.UMS


    Caspian signaled, and a van pulled up, disgorging a group of bodyguards who immediately surrounded Lemira.


    "Lemira, listen to me, don''t go down the wrong path."
