I was in my secret room of MY shop were only VVIP are allowed ofc and enjoying my luxury as provided and why should I not? If I have it I shall enjoy it and for those who think I didn’t earned it but got it, they can go fuck themeselves because that shit is what they say to make themselves feel less guilty about them being not lucky enough to have the opportunity to have this privilege for themselves and also not having the power to make it possible.

I was having the last sip of my wine tasting it to till it’s last drop and feel it until someone knocks on my door and enters the room as I allow them to. It was my helper’s son he was pretty and had the look of someone who has not seen the outer world as should have and on regular occasions that would have been my type to tease but not today. Today was the day of result not that I was afraid of not getting in the college but afraid if I had the perfect dress to wear on my first day?

Why you ask? Because first of all I do know that I am gonna pass this entrance exam if not for my marks then my power and money will make that happen. It’s true at the end of the day or as this world truns to ash MONEY DOES BUY HAPPINESS.

Anyway I open the letter and read it. I pasue and get up from my sit fuming the boy getting startled I said “ bring me my purse” he does as I say and I start walking towards the door and I look back from my shoulder similing to the boy before opening the door and say “tell the manger to double your salary I am happy today” and exit the room.

As always I went to my clothes shop well soon to be as it is under my mom’s management but it will be mine soon. I stepped out of my car workers making sure they attended me before I step out of the car and greet me. And as always I enjoy it whole. I step in to see the manger bowing and welcoming me in and I say “ bring me the latest” and she says “right away young miss” she signed to others and led me to the second floor where only expensive and exclusive designed of our designers are offered. It was big building so when I say second floor I don’t mean the literal 2nd it was on 7th floor actually. Yeah we are successful and I will make sure to let it stay that way.

I enjoyed buying myself the colthes seen when i had to order them to dilever it home as my car was not able to handle that many bags. Well that was to be expected means come on it will my first day of college where I had my entire bloodline going. With the happy face of treating myself with the shopping experience I went home.

At home my parents were as usual not present, not being disappointed as they have to manage this big of an empire I understand them not always being with me. I order my helpers to prepare my food and keep my clothes dry cleaned for 2 days form now.

I come downstairs after 1 hour in shower or more but I didn’t care because I could smell my cook’s special dish from my room alone it was Pâté en Croûtehis his speciality I heard from my dad that he choose our cook because this was his speciality. I hoped onto my chair as they serve it I finish it as soon as it landed on my plate after a full stomach i sign for no more and they serve Riz au lait for the desert and I was on nine cloud.

I finished as soon as possible and then heard the sound coming from front door my papa or father came with the my maman or mother ofc they couldn’t be separated no matter what they longest they stayed separated was when I was in London with my mother because of the family dispute going in my father’s family about the inheritance of this empire,they were are so in love that I am sure If one of them dies first, the other will commit succide to be with the other. Didn’t understand how could u love a stranger so much?

They see me and hugs me and congratulate me for me getting acceptance letter to The Imperial Academy of Harmonics. It’s a music academy not that it focuses only on it they have many other fields but it’s just what they do best. My parents figured my piano skills with the academy’s help will soar. Well to some it came astonishing to how someone like me being so rude plays such sweet melodies but yep I do play good sometimes surprising myself too. Anyhow I accept their congratulations and bid them farewell for tonight and go back to my room. Knowing they are worried about me behind me and ofc will pull some strings to make sure I am comfortable at my academy means who doesn’t want better for their kids? Guess that’s the reason for them to send me to a, psychologist for treatment as I don’t have the ability to feel emotions like others do.

Its not that I don’t try it’s just that it just don’t happen no matter how hard I try. It’s like you wanting to make sure that you save money till your next payday but still can’t resist to stop from buying the things you like and if you don’t have the money where will you spend them the same is for me I don’t have any emotions to feel them or express them at all. I lay on my bed and cover myself with the the quilts and after making myself comfortable before sleeping and I look at the ceiling.

Thinking what I should play tomorrow for my teacher as his last day of work. I was thinking about all his favourite songs, artists and writers but none came to My mind which will make the day and play perfect and until I had figured that out it I knew I couldn’t sleep so I toss and turn for hours playing the tunes of piano in my head with notes to make a perfect song and get up form up my bed set up my phone on recording and put it beside my paino to record me playing and I sit on the chair near my paino and remove the board covering my keys and let me fingers touch keys and feel the keys and letting my mind and soul take over me to play the song playing over and over my mind to play in action.

Playing the paino as always felt like a part of me being coordinated,it has always came to me naturally when I play I don’t think about the world near me I just play it till my my fingers ache and I hit the same sound I have meaning to make it sound like. I play and play, and if my human capacities allowed me to I would play for my whole lifetime, whole day,night without needing to eat, drink or even breathe and to just play.

After few beats later I remove my fingers off the keys and hear the recording to see if it matches my standard,as it matched, I clicked to save and went back to sleep. And as excepted after completing my task I slept like a newborn.

I wake up with sun rays falling on my eyes and slamming me with the reality to be faced, I get up and go wash up to meet my parents at the dining table waiting for me to come and eat with them which I do so. My father speaks” so you ready ?”

I reply “what was there to be ready for?”, to which my father smirks.

We all finished our breakfast and I went to sit in our living room to wait for my teacher, my parents following me I stare at them with the the face ‘ what are you doing?’ To which my mother spoked “ we just use don’t want to miss your teacher’s and yours last lessons toghter he taught you so much and we know how much he means to you” I let them be and wait for my teacher to come.

After few minutes off us sitting we heard the footsteps he makes while entering our house, our marble floor clacking with not only his boots but also his walking stick he had carry with him after he got disabled in a war mission he went on in his 30s. Yes my paino teacher was an ex military officer tough to imagine a tough guy like him who knows only to point guns at people to kill them can also delicately touch the keys of the paino to make people feel delighted.

My parents alongside me were shocked when my grandfather brought him for teaching me, later to be found out that they were old friends, it was that after my grandfather finding out that his best friend got disabled he wanted to help him and coincidentally his grandaughter supposedly needed a paino teacher to whose citeria my teacher matched perfectly fit it was well known to his neighbourhood that my teacher played the most melodious songs which made him get a college acceptance letter and almost becoming the first one to be with college degree but he didn’t want that and wanted to be serve his country like his father, in the end he went with serving as a solider then becoming a pianist to be known world wide. As guessed he was Like a grandfather figure to me my own grandfather died. A year only after bringing him to the house for teaching, doctors told him that drinking would cost him in the long run and in the end it got him earlier then anticipated by doctors.

He came in to which my parents hoped up from their seats along with the me . My father greeting and welcoming him inside to which my sir only nodded. He sees me and stares me for few beats before finally speaking “ u ready right? I don’t to be disappointed at my last class by my best student” do which i only reply “ have I ever did that ?” To which my sir only reply with a simple humph.

We go to the hall which has my paino with some sofas facing it up my teacher and parents sit and make themselves comfortable, I go towards my paino and sit beside the chair in front of it and lift up the heavy board covering the keys. I check my pedals and my keys and play random tumes to see if it works like it should, after making sure that it was working I take few full breathes, close my eyes and feel the sensations I get whenever I touch the keys and put my fingers on the keys and start to play the song which I practiced countless times yesterday night and repeating it in my mind for thousands of time while having breakfast.

I tap the keys and I keep on doing so my mind takes over my body and hands and I get lost in the music I play for me to get lost into, the world disappears around me while I do so and after few beats of me playing the song. I rest my fingers on the keys and look towards my teacher and parents, they also lost in the tune I played, after a few milli seconds my teacher looks at me with no emotion and expression and ordered my parents to get out of the room.

I thought my teacher didn’t like this piece, but after my parents shutting the door behind them, my teacehr sighed and said “ very good! “ I smiled proudly my body and face brimming with light and confidence. He said “ come here sit beside me” I do so,he asks me “ how did you do that ?” I replied “ I don’t know I just did it “ to which my teacher chuckles and says “that’s what you have said till now but you also know the answer that you make such beautiful compositions because you feel, the tunes you play makes you ’feel’ that you are playing the correct keys, your heart makes you ‘feel that way.” To which I shrug and say “ that’s rubbish you know that’s not true I don’t know how to feel,atleast that’s what my doctors said”

My teacher replied “ what does those people who spent their half lifespan with books know? I who have spent time with people and more of experience then them with feelings know what you are capable of and what you ‘feel’ ”

I replied “ I don’t believe myself or your words “

My teacher replied “ that’s what you are thinking but I know for certain that this passion of yours towards paino will be an opportunity for you to experience the emotions you have yet to feel”

I said nothing showing my visible disagreement. We stayed like that for hours that’s how we talk no words are ever needed for us to talk, guess that’s why I don’t feel annoyed by him no matter what. With that the day came to end and we bid him farewell as he went back to his house and I go to my room, choosing the clothes and things to be packed for tomorrow’s flight.

I reach the airport at 5:00 in the morning with 4 hours of sleep and 2 cups off coffee. After 4 hours of flight,I land at my destination and walk out of the airport to find a board with my name on it and my driver waiting for me. He takes me to my 37th floor penthouse of a renowed building I bought for myself to live for while I stayed here for the college. The building had everything a mall,restaurant,spa all u needed.

I unpacked my bag and tell my chef to make me something light for dinner I had my lunch outside and my breakfast on the plane I wanted to spare my stomach with heavy food the last thing I want for tomorrow is a stomachache.

With my dinner done and bags unpacked i wash up by taking a long dip in the hot tub and sleep. With which my day before entering the college came to end.

I walk I I repeat again I ‘walk’ not that I wanted to it was just some things happened like stomachache not to me but my driver and no one was available to replace him, so I thought of that as an opportunity to see the Paris, not my way of doingng things but well different places calls for different ways off doing,I walked past the shops and botiques filled with the designs I would love to have killed for to be on my body but I couldn’t do so, I watched my watch it read 7:12 well, if I wanted to I could roam around and enjoy but no I wanted to see the academy everyone has been talking about. Well a bad this sounds I have never seen this academy in any newspaper, website or anything it sure is secretive but famous for producing famous us musicians, doctors,lawyers etc.

I walk past the hustle and bustle till I reach big black gates with its middle space filled with 2 big huge gold covered crown, Behind it I saw a big,long,straight road emerging at one building,it was the academy it was big and wide, well it had to be considering the nobleblood, royal heirs and big hats coming here to study I would of have been disappointed if it was anything less then that, I pivot my eyes to the blackmarble board with golden waves afixed on the stone wall near the gates it was written in gold words‘THE IMPERIAL ACADEMY OF HARMONICS’.

I waited for few minutes nand watched my watch as it striked 7:30 the gates opened, I was worried that I hadd to go all that way up walking when some peope wearing guard clothing said to wait for few minutes as the a car will come and pick her up, and it did happen, I looked outside the window to see big lawns of garden and trees and flowers and benches, I was the dropped before a huge brown door which was opened ofc but it was 10x bigger then me, it’s width was so that it could fit 2 person like me in that. I could see a big hall past it and some hustle already makingng its way. I enterd the the hall, the whole hall was covered figurines of angels and arts which bulged out of the walls their faces were serene and live like, the whole palace was made off marble, the ceiling was so high with a glass tomb over it which made light rays come inside the hall in such way that it lit up the hall entirely, it was hard to accept that such a beauty was hidden so well.

I roamed around to find the whole place being like this,I figured few stuff about out this place though this place was divided in 4 wings - north wing contained library,hall,ballroom,and all the halls required for students , east wing contained basketball courts, badminton court many other courts which i didn’t brother to see as it was to tiresome and waste of time, west wings were full of cafeteria, after class clubs, relax room, playrooms and other stuffs to make students relax, and south wings which mostly consisted of classrooms, where also my classes will be taken.

I was going to my classroom watching around the hallways and the students and their fashion when I saw a blonde girl with her British accent arguing with a big hulk if anything that was all I could say form his back, he was big with board shoulders,muscles everywhere result of staying in gym I guessed ,long legs, veiny hands, black wavy hairs, a deep voice filled with French accent,with the look of girl and they way the man’s voice was so distant and unbothered it seemed like a lovers quarrel with the boy having a one night stand and enjoying himself and girl getting heartbroken with the dreams she had for him.

Not like it was any of business i stride of from them without eyeing them,as I pass them I hear a loud noise from behind I look back to see the girl was so angry that she slapped the huge hulk, form the side he looked more handsome,his jaw was pointy and anything then perfect, next to what I saw was the blonde girl straight head staring me in the eye with the anger I for one moment I looked behind me to see if she was staring at me or her rival, to my surprise there was nothing but a white marble wall behind me, I looked back again at the girl but my eyes pivoted to the hulk and saw him closing his wrist up in a ball making his veins bulging out of his hands,and jaw as he clutching it tight close, to be honest after that powerful slap from the girl I hoped for the hulk to snap at her too but he remained clam to my surprise.

He without any other words to speak starts walking away, while the girl still talking ,she still in disbelief that he actually did that, he was walking form my position I still could only see his back, his walk even his walk was perfect.

Well that was something for my first day with a live heart throbbing play playing in front of me. I turned around and start walking towards my class well knowing that the blonde girl was still watching me. But I didn’t care she could look at me all she wanted.

I reach my classroom to see it was already half filled with students, I saw many known faces,which made it easy for me as they made a sit for me to sit with them I asked around me to know that there were only 3 lectures today 1st was on history of music, 2nd on music theory and 3rd was the instrumental one.

It was 5 in the evening when me and my benchmates were coming form the cafeteria with our milkshakes in our hands and heading towards the north wing’s hall where our instrumental 3rd lecture would be conducted in 10 minutes we rushed to the hall and found ourselves a bit late.

I entered the room with the same hulk’s back facing me few steps away from me, he was standing in front of few empty seats but most definitely filled classroom listening to him confirming that he was the boss here I mean the professor here admist my thoughts of how he was a professor he rattled me up by his voice as he said in English dripping with English accent “ you are late” I get startled was his voice this deep and icy? I don’t seem to remember it being this sexy. I say clearing my voice “ we are sorry,we just stopped by the cafeteria and got late, sir” I backed off I didn’t want an arugement with this big hulk on my first day after what I watched this morning knowing exactly what he was capable of.

He turned to face me and my benchmates i looked at him, his face and the only thing that came to my mind was ‘what the fuck?’ He was breathtaking handsome,his every feature curved to perfection, even angels could lose their sanity in front of this handsome guy, no man a true man, his eyes where of the colour off night they were solid black shining like black beads under the sunset light coming form the window form side, his nose was perfectly adjusted to his face that made him look marvellous, his all features matched his beauty like perfectly,looks like the blonde girl did have some taste.

He said “ then better get better at running we don’t welcome latecomers” well what was the point off all that beauty when his personality was like shit, I said “and you welcome the ones who make us late?”

He said “ we welcome skills, not a foodies” he said while looking at my chocolate milkshake. No one comments on my food “and who said we don’t have skills?” I snap at him. He raised his brows and I could hear gasps and whispers all around me after a few beats he said “ what makes eyou so confident?” I smirk “ well I trust my skills and talent but looks like you don’t trust ur examiner,they wouldn’t let just anyone enter right?”

To which he flows his arms around his chest and look at and says with a smile “well,humans make mistakes”

Well that was rude not like I will back down “ well ofc humans can make mistakes I guess that’s the reason you are here”

To my surprise he laughed and told me “well,yes you are re correct humans do make mistakes go take your sits”

I take my sit with victory in my eyes,with lecture coming to end he said “ before we end this lecture wouldn’t our mistake like to play a piece for us ?” He said looking at me with me a glee in his eyes. Not like I would back down I said “ ofc, sir”
