Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 12: Cleopatra Academy

The procession of white cars stopped right in front of the fountain pool in a castle-like building from the Middle Ages, several big men rushed to the most luxurious car, ready to welcome the young master who had just arrived from his business trip abroad.

“Welcome to Cleopatra Academy, Mr Areez.”

A respectful welcome filled the main courtyard of Cleopatra Academy, Auckland’s most famous personality school as soon as a handsome man with a cold face got out of his car. The man named Areez Floyen is said to still have kinship with the Danish kingdom, although Areez has denied this on several occasions.

“This time let alone the mess that girl has made?”

Mrs. Mauren, the director of Cleopatra Academy took a step forward with her head bowed, slowly her hands stretched out towards Areez giving her a smart tablet. “All the mess Mira has made in the last two weeks I have saved on this tablet, sir.”

Areez narrowed his eyes at the tablet Mauren was holding, instead of directly taking it and seeing the contents of the tablet, Areez shook his head slowly.

“If I was asking a question then you should have given your answer with your tongue instead of giving me this stupid tablet, Mrs. Smith. Are you tired of leading this Academy?”

.....

Mrs. Mauren’s face who was looking down turned pale at Areez’s words, cold sweat immediately ran down her forehead.

“Because I don’t have much time, so hurry up and tell me what that girl has been doing during the two weeks I’ve been living.” Areez repeated the question he had said before.

“It’s a long story, sir.”

“Keep it concise then.”

Mrs. Mauren gulped quickly, because she didn’t want to make the biggest donor in the Academy angry. Finally Mrs. Mauren told her what had happened in the last two weeks at the Academy. As the Academy director spoke, Areez didn’t open his lips at all. The man with the cross earring in his left ear looked calm even though the veins on his forehead were popping out.

“Lastly, Mira broke one of her friends’ legs, sir. Because of that, we also closed the Academy for two days for further investigation.” With a trembling voice Mrs. Mauren told Areez the biggest mess in the Academy.

“Master...”

“I know, Felix.” Areez immediately cut off the words of his personal secretary.

After saying that Areez then walked towards the main door of the Academy leaving Mrs. Mauren and the other high-ranking members of the Academy who were still standing where they were welcoming Areez’s arrival.

Areez’s steps sounded intimidating as they walked down the aisle of the Academy, several students who were sitting in the park immediately stood up and saluted Areez like a noble’s daughter. Being on a mission to make a girl have a noble attitude and behavior is Areez’s main goal of enrolling Mira in Cleopatra Academy. Can’t stand seeing how wild Mira is at home being the only reason Areez put the girl into the Academy, Areez has lost countless losses after bringing Mira back to his house.

Areez just stopped in his tracks when he managed to find the figure of the girl who was the source of trouble in the Academy, his hazel eyes stared intently at the girl with waist-length hair without blinking. When she is sitting pretty like this, Mira looks very charming and makes anyone captivated by her beauty, but if the girl has shown her true nature even the police are reluctant to deal with her. The only person who is still not deterred from Mira’s wildness is Areez, the cold-blooded young tycoon whose face is often on the cover of Forbes magazine as the most influential young entrepreneur under the age of 30.

“Go, I want to face my Felis Nigripes myself.”

Felix nodded obediently, after that he then walked away leaving Areez alone followed by six Areez bodyguards who came from the best special police in Auckland.

After all his men left, Areez stepped to where Mira was sitting. The girl sat pensively in the garden behind the Academy to calm her mind, on a small table there were several scattered books that had never been opened to see how smooth the books were now. A special feature of a new book that has never been read.

“How much longer will you obey me, Mira?”

The girl with long hair called Mira immediately turned her head, staring intently at Areez who was already standing not far from her. Her blue eyes darkened when she saw Areez, it was clear how much she hated the handsome man who had just arrived.

“Two weeks of not seeing me doesn’t make you lose your voice, does it?” Areez re-opened the conversation.

“Until you let me out of this damn prison, you bastard!”

Areez laughed, his eyes sparkling at the girl’s words. “Only you, Mira. You’re the only one who dares to speak without looking down like this, you’re the only one who doesn’t have the fear of speaking harshly to me. Your guts are really big, Mira.”

“SURI... My name is Suri, not Mira. So stop calling me that ugly name!”
