The moon shines dainty, capturing the definitive and dauntless heart of an ingenious spring in the cushion above her head. The tender eyes shaded with the mesmerising views under the leafy slender tree. Whimsical voices around make her feelings consoled whilst the cool calming breeze of the air, setting upon the fibres of her hair.
She never thought of these magnificent moments, especially when night came. Those trends, making her overwhelming sense of the impression of everything. Conveying the scenes and wrote the tragedies of the past. Reminiscing about it and understanding the tranquillity of the things she has. It's such a mood to crescent and treasure.

"What a cute creation of human spirit, " she uttered as she closed the small log and placed it on her bookshelves. The curves on her lips are natural, no doubt she can get someone once it was saw. But, for some reason, she's wondering about who wrote it. Nah, she just clears those kinds of stuff filling her head and continue to prepare herself for a routine.
The moment her legs reached the exit of her room, the captivating scents of veggies and food caught her boiling tummy. It must be their chef's recipe that can make you a nice appetite. As she entered the kitchen, Yaya Amanda welcome her with a kiss on her forehead that unclasp a great sensation. Then, she gestures to the food being set on the table, Reissha's eyes glow like it was amazingly fun.
Her favourite salad, however, turned her to grab it without thinking twice. *Yum* She mumbles after few ingestions. Whenever she eats it, she acts like someone who has never been tasted it. People around keep a sight over her. They are worried about what might happen to her if she contains this kind of manner when eating. Maybe... Amanda can't take watching her act like that so she whispered to her ears. "Ma'am Sha, please take it easy. We have lots of that in the refrigerator. Remember, you have to be careful with nourishment." Reissha only nods after.
It'll look ridiculous at them but this was a cute act of her for many. You can barely found rich people consuming food lively. Most are being cautious and elegant in their actions. The reason why she was considered "unique" in their family was that she act like a pure-blooded Filipino, and not a privileged person.
The strong and consistent knocks on their doorstop them from eating. It sounded like a drum being played allegedly. The moment her eyes laid at it, the overflowing annoyance surround her. But the one who caused that chaos is beaming mockingly. Elijah's stares glued at her and were expressing it to serve as a lovingly one. She just rolled her eyes at him, making his smile fade.
"Am I late? My dear Reissha, why didn't you approach me and invite me for a breakfast? Oh, how "sweet" of you to me," Elijah said, raising a big disturbance to her. She replied "whatever" on it.
Seconds later, she didn't bother to mind the guy who sat beside her. She's quite focused on taking her food. So Elijah struggles to catch her attention. He thought of something that may prevail to startle the interest of Reissha. He began calling her, but nothing works. Next, he whistle but she just rolled her eyes again and signed him to stop. Another thing he did is unexpected. He snatched Reissha's spoon and directly swallow it. Watchers behind them got "Woah" with what he has done. Even Reissha, can not believe what went on.
She gasped for being offended and asked. "What do you want, huh?!"
Elijah's mood finally enlightened, knowing that he won. Well, his name tells a lot—Won. "You," he says, so all the maids scream for tingles. "You're the one I only want." He added. The dining room was filled with chills and tease.
"Eh? Cease subsisting cringes Mr Roberts, it's not funny. Will you please end this annoyance, huh? I don't wanna be contracted to you starting today."
Being the ample human being on Earth, he never listens. And proceed for what he wishes for. The face of Reissha seems messy but that provoked him to annoy her even more.
"My dear Reissha, come with me. That's not a request, it's an order," he spoke up.
"What?! Who are you to say that to me?"
"I am Elijah Won Roberts, the most handsome creation and the only scion of Roberts clan—" Reissha cut him off.
"Will you please shut your mouth? Typically, you huh! The great philosopher who used to patronise himself. Eww, you were the worst person I've ever encountered!"
"Haha! Easy, easy, my dear Reissha. Don't you want to spend your day with me?"
"Duh, I'd rather stay in my room the whole day than spending it with you. Go, and get lost! Shoot!"
Elijah chuckled and show her a thing that light her up like a lightning bulb. "A family friend just opened an ice cream factory near this village. So I'm ordering you to come with me. And..have some treat?"
"Has it infinite flavours? Is it delicious? Let's go!" She exclaimed loudly.
"Haha, I thought you won't come? "
"Who said that? You should clean your ears sometimes. You're assuming too far." Then she came out first and was already prepared and hopped inside Elijah's car.
"What are you waiting for? Hello, I wanna taste some!"
"Lol, you're unbelievable Reissha," he muttered.
It took them minutes until they arrived. Reissha didn't wait for him to open and unconsciously get out of the car. He just found her showing her I. D. to the security. Elijah shook his head for amusement.
"You don't have to do that as long as you're with me. Security, the next time you asked for information about this girl, you'll be fired." Being offended it may seem, the security nodded.
He led Reissha inside. He can not help but flash a smile every time he witnessed how enthusiastic his companion is. He's acquainted with all the staff there so he can have access to the whole building. Reissha tried random flavours like; choco crumble, strawberry jelly, cookies and cream and the new flavour called banana with ube.
It takes only one minute but Reissha already has a cone and a free box of ice cream. Not only 4 but 7 flavours.
Elijah asks, " Where have you been? I just missed one minute then you got 7 flavours? Wow, you are unbelievable. And.. with whom did you bought that, what's that?!"
"Ice cream, there is this guy who gave me recently. I wanna ask him why but he left immediately." *Yum*
"Tsk, you should have asked for his identity first. We do not know if he's an ex-convict or traitor trying to be nice with his vulnerable target."
"Relax, he isn't that creepy," she explained.
She consumed too much till she holds her head for terrible pain. Elijah panicked about seeing her situation and called a treatment agent. Thankfully, they organize the call quickly and pick Reissha at the clinic. But she's screaming for pain and collapse suddenly. Minutes passed and they don't know what to do. Elijah's hands are shaking as he dialled Amanda's number to bring Kiko and Reissha's private doctor. He issued everything they could do to protect Reiss. They followed what he said. Wonders and questions are running through his head until it's a point in the food she has eaten.
"The ice cream!" He yelled. "Inspect the ice cream now! What are you staying for? Inspect it now! B*llshit!" He even caresses his hair and punches the wall.
"Sir, she already has eaten the ice cream in the cone...the one placed on the cup only remains. We found out that it was also strawberry jelly flavoured but has this poisonous powder being put into." The factory staff clarify. "For some purpose, it was imposed by someone. He leaves a message behind," he added.
"Tsk! I've never mistaken for this to emerge. Find someone who is not a member of this factory and take him to the police station. Have you been organized an inspection? Call the police and let them do their jobs." He nodded to Elijah and left. While Elijah on the other hand is frustrated. He reads the message thoroughly and clenches his fist after.
"Good day Miss Alfios, how are you feeling right now? Does it hurt too much? Aww, sorry for letting this happen. It's just the onset of our game. Have fun! Haha!"

He crumpled it and toss to a garbage bin. "Whoever is responsible for this, I will make sure he'll suffer." His last statement before he went to Reissha and accompany her.
