Ding! Ding!
The ringing of the bell echoed in the empty hallways of Junior High School.
Students flocked out of their classroom, like the birds escaping from the cage.
Amidst the excited faces of students, a red-haired girl stood out the most.
Her pale skin, beautiful lips, straight nose, sharp yet defined brown eyebrows, and deep grey eyes made her the most beautiful girl.
But no one among the students dared to approach her.
Reason? Her gloomy expression.
Usually with her rich girl persona, the girl would have been surrounded by other students, but today her aura screamed 'unapproachable'.
Yet her deskmate who left the room 5 minutes ago, returned and shouted,
"Aurora! Aurora! Your dad is here! He is driving a Bugatti Divo today!"
Aurora Waters, with her beautiful grey eyes, stared at her deskmate till she shivered, before looking away.
Bugatti Divo?
That must be the car of his new client. Her dad worked in a car repair shop.
Every single day, he drove a new car to her school, helping her establish the persona of a wealthy young lady.
If it had been before, Aurora would have run out of the class and shown off for the next 2 hours, but now?
Aurora in a daze walked out of the school and saw a luxurious sleek black car parked right in front of the gate.
With no emotion, Aurora opened the door and sat inside.
"How was your day princess?" A kind masculine voice broke Aurora's train of thoughts.
Turning to her left, Aurora saw her tanned yet handsome father. He had black hair and grey eyes, a straight nose, defined thick eyebrows, and perfectly shaped lips.
Whenever he smiles, the crow's feet at the corner of his eyes become visible.
He had a bulky frame and looked healthy. Currently, he was wearing a worn-out-looking hoodie yet he somehow managed to look cool.
The kindest man, Aurora knew.
Suddenly a man with hollow eyes, sunken cheeks, and a wary smile on his lips, flashed in her mind.
Surprisingly...the man overlapped with her kind father.
"It was good." Aurora forced a smile.
Adam Waters sensed Aurora's bad mood, without a word, he started the car and soon stopped by an ice cream stall.
Aurora watched with a complex gaze, as her father bought two chocolate ice creams, all the while ensuring that none of her classmates were around.
On reaching the car door, Adam opened the door and hid the ice cream behind his back,
"Princess, guess what dad had bought for you?"
Aurora forced a smile, "Ice cream."
Adam's smile slowly faded and he got inside the car. After passing the chocolate ice cream to Aurora, he asked,
"Princess, did someone bully you?"
Aurora was taken aback by the question, "Huh? Why do you think so?"
"Because of your behavior. Don't you love to show off cars?" Adam asked with a serious expression,
"Today you didn't show off your car. Usually, even when you are in a bad mood you will show it off for at least 1 hour."
Aurora: "..." What a deep analysis.
"I'm fine Dad. I just...feel sleepy." Aurora answered.
Adam was about to inquire when his phone rang. Looking at the same, he frowned and sped up.
Within 10 minutes, they reached a run-down building.
"Princess, I will leave for now, but we will talk about your sleepiness later," Adam said and left without waiting for Aurora's answer.
Aurora stood there for a while, before making her way to the small apartment rented by her family.
The apartment had two rooms, a small kitchen, and a small living room. Though there were cracks on the walls, and the color of the walls was faded, it had a cozy vibe.
Placing her bag on the bed of her room, Aurora silently stared at the floor before shouting,
"No! No! It can't be true! Why? Why am I born into a villain's family? And that too who loved to fake their identity!"
No response.
Aurora slumped on the ground and the dream which she was having for the past few weeks, flashed in her mind.
At first, the dreams were quiet beautiful. In her dreams, she was given VIP treatment.
Everyone listened to her, offered her cakes and sweets, and she had a lot of admirers!
How...fantastic!
Toward the end though...the scene changed and her true identity as a poor girl was exposed.
Oh right...she was acting as a wealthy young lady and was hence granted all the VIP treatment.
