Jonathan's POV

"Wait, you're kidding me, right? I mean, I'm just a kid. How could I even be tracked?"

"The same question I want to ask you, but, I guess we're not on the same path. Now, get in." I opened the door where my room is dimly lit and she just gazes around, and she shakes her head.

"Why is something the matter?"

"Yeah, my mom's waiting for me and I'm not home for a week now. We just live in the Bronx, and I'm like a hundred blocks away from there. Because we're in Times Square." she said in a frantic tone.

"Not to mention that you messed with the CEO of one of the biggest companies in New York," I reminded her.

"I know, look, I'm sorry. Okay? I never thought it would turn out like this, I should've looked into this more."

"Well, that's not gonna suffice. You have to earn it for me to forgive you."

"Then, how?"

"Simple, get your family together and bring them here. Beon-Yeong Estates, which is here in Times Square. Live in the penthouse and serve the mall until you hit the right age, which is 18."

"You know, my height might not say my age but I'm already 16."

"Dwarfism, I guess."

"It's in the family's genes, but no, I don't have it in me. So I just have to serve the mall for 2 years. Got it," she says enthusiastically as if nothing happened, then I looked at the clock and it's near midnight.

"Sleep in my room for tonight before we get in touch with your family tomorrow." she nodded and yawned before going inside my room. I sat on my couch and started to wonder, what is she doing now?

Angelica's POV

I woke up earlier, everyone was asleep as I wandered around the hall. I looked at the clock and it said that it was 5:30. I felt jet-lagged, so I sat down on one of their fancy couches and fell asleep.

Jonathan's POV

I close my eyes just to ponder about her, her delicate smile, sweet eyes, and even her gorgeous hair. As though I imagined her, I saw her far beyond. Saying something, I couldn't quite catch what she was saying but I tried my best by far. I read her lips and it says wake up, I cock my head on the right.

"Why?" I couldn't believe I asked her that, then she started running towards me.. then slapped me, I jolted back from that imagination and saw someone's face. My vision was blurry and thought it was Angelica, but as soon as it became clear, it wasn't. It was that kid from yesterday.

"You said we'll go to my family and bring them here, so, come on." She tried to push me off the bed but to no luck, I grunted and got up, and she suddenly fell flat on the bed. I readied myself and went ahead to the parking lot as she followed behind me and drove for quite a long time. When we got there, it was never what I imagined. Thankfully, there's a stadium nearby and she tours me around. Soon, we got to her family's house.

They greeted me with a warm welcome and I directly talked to them about what's gonna happen to them, and they happily agreed. Again, thankful that they didn't disagree or argue with me. It took them a while to pack and put it in the truck. I called for us to get moving when I introduced them to one of my staff to handle them before saying goodbye. I reached for my phone in my pocket and dialed Anita's number.

"Hello?"

"I'm coming to Los Angeles," I said informally.

"Well, hello, Jonathan. Ah, it seems we'll finally meet. I'll wait here at my Estate, just tell my name and you'll be redirected to me. Goodbye," she says and hangs up, I hesitated to move. Like I don't want to do this, then someone called my name. I turn around and see someone familiar, my mouth hangs ajar when that person walks towards me.

"Long time no see, Jonathan." It was my childhood friend, Maxwell. I was stunned, he came back after a very long time. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly.

"How come you had time to visit me?" I asked him.

"Because I missed you and your family, and mostly... This country, " he said.

"So, where did you stay after that fight?"

"Cambodia, it's a nice place. Everything is foreign, and of course, I met someone. Honey!" he shouts, then a man comes speeding up here and I was shocked.

"Oh, he's your husband?" My question is way too obvious and I sound awkward about it.

"Yeah, George, meet Jonathan. Jonathan, George. I know you are shocked about it but there's a change in gender preferences for me." I smile at them and just nod, I dusted my hands.

"Glad to meet you, " I reach my hand out to him, and he shakes it and just nods.

"Well, we'll be leaving now. I know it's a rush because we just landed and we're kind of tired in the meantime."

"Okay, I'll be meeting someone. So, I'll be on my way, it's really lovely to have you back here." I patted his back and left to get a ticket to Los Angeles, it took approximately five hours. I hailed a taxi for me to get there, she texted the address and it said Monroe Estates. I told the driver the address and he just nodded, when we got there I paid him double and I left him in utter shock.

"Hello, good afternoon, sir. How may I help you?" the lady asked me.

"I need to see Ms. Anita Monroe, she said she'll be waiting for me."

"And I did, long flight no?" a voice said behind me, I backed away and thought that it was her.

"Anita, what a surprise you got me." even though I was creeped out by what she did and fixed my postures to greet her formally, "I'm Johnathan Young, inheritor of Beonyeong Mall. Lovely meeting you," I bowed at her and grabbed her hand to kiss it, which she smiled at.

"And I'm Anita Monroe, the inheritor of Monroe Estates, which we're at now."

"I see, now, I believe we have a date to catch on," I said, and she smiles again at me.

"Of course, off we go then." she toured me around as if I didn't visit this place all the time, but I let her. That'll be embarrassing on her note, then there's a twist, we'll walk around like normal people with normal clothes... wait, I sounded like I disgust them. I take that back, we'll dress as normal people do, and walk our way to one of the restaurants here.

"Why do we dress like this?" I asked her.

"It's because... for us not to attract a crowd and we'll probably get ourselves in trouble, wait, you haven't done this before?"

"Well. I mean, why would we eat in a restaurant wearing something like this?"

"Okay, you sounded like a douchebag there and you think highly of yourself. Come on, be a human for a little while. The night is still young." Anita just destroyed me in less than an hour.

"You're the first to say that to me."

"Then that makes me unique, " she says and stops, "We're here."
