Chapter 43: Chapter 43

8 years later

"Dad, I want to go to the academy."There was some hesitation in the eyes of the angel that had grown up under the wings of Mikhail Villar when she asked the question.

Rue couldn't speak until she reached ten years of age but with constant therapy and persistence that stemmed from her courage it was made possible yet maybe it was the trauma or her own will that even after she recovered Rue spoke very little.

"Why?" A lot of things have changed for the little girl with azure irises, earlier she wanted to make friends and roam places but now living on her own for so long made her somewhat hesitant towards people and their kindness..... she wasn't sure whether she would fit in or not but she wanted to try.

A pink-wrapped chocolate teddy bear was waved infront of the face that was crestfallen thinking that Mikhail was refusing and suddenly the cyan irises weren't sad anymore. The man chuckled when Rue tried to grab the teddy from his hands.

"Eve and Iris are going s-so I also want to go.."

The twins were the daughters of Diana's close friend, when Rue met them for the first time it was uncomfortable because she spoke very less and they spoke a lot but now they could be considered close. Earlier this week when they told her that they were going to shift to another school it wasn't a happy news for her because she wasn't willing to be separated from them.

"Is it to study or to meet boys?" The face that was fairylike soon resembled a tomato making Mikhail curse colorfully under his breath.

"I-It is to study I promise."

"Bring your books, I will teach you."

Rue "..."

When nothing worked the angel flew to the mafia man's side and embraced him, for there were very few that were not aware that the biggest weakness of Mikhail Villar was this little angel that did not share an ounce of blood with him.

He was the one that named her and took care of her while she was the one who filled his dark life with happiness and joy. She brought back his wife's happiness and his own.

The devil did not knew when the daughter of Sylvesters became more precious than his own flesh and blood to him thus when Rue looked at him with pleading eyes he could not help but remember the small baby that was saved from the doors of death but she did not cry, rather laughed so beautifully that she won his heart. He had to give in at the end.

YN International was a university that was often considered one of the most prestigious institutions of secondary and higher education but not everyone could afford to send their children there for it was only reserved for the heirs of oligarchs or higher classes thus when Eve and Iris were informed that instead of their selected school they were being sent to YN it was almost a shock.

Later it was known that since the leader of Villars was sending his princess there thus it was natural that he facilitated their admission too with a condition that Rue must be cared for at all times. It was almost a hushed fact in the underworld that Rue was not the child of Mikhail and he was her godfather but looking at their relationship it did not appear that she was not the biological child of Villars for all her demands were fulfilled even before she had time to mull over it twice.

But then there was the heir of Villars who had disappeared from the underworld and even his shadow was not visible making people fear that he was hiding deeper than their expectations.

It was late at night when Rue reached Rome and atlast was taken to the University which was far away from the main center.

"Rue Villar, Iris Jade and Eve Jade." The lady at the desk seemed to have recognized the fairy in the middle for she bowed a little before leading the way to the dormitories all along explaining the schedule to the girl who looked everywhere with a gaze that exceeded curiosity.

"The male and female dorms of the same grade are separated and there are strict rules that you must not leave the premises after ten at night and must not venture to the right wing of the dorms, the principal would be available at all times so you can approach him if anything is needed."

The trio was soon settled in their respective rooms and the last room to be given was of Rue so when the lady bowed down to leave Rue stopped her with the words.

"What is your name miss?" There was a moment of silence before the woman answered.

"Its Flora ma'am."

"Miss Flora...Is there...well is there a student named Kharsan here?" The woman froze before resuming her gentle smile and replying with a firm no.

"Its getting late ma'am, you must rest." And when Flora turned around there was a feeling of confusion and innocent anger in exquisite azure irises.

"So he hates me so much so as to not even see me even once?" The words whispered were so quiet yet when the lady heard them she could do nothing and only depart from the room.

Did he leave because she was the daughter of Sylvesters?
