The Heirs

"I guess the prince is as close as we thought." He said and turned to his men.

"Change of plans! I need you to make sure you and your men remain unseen and untraced. Find an opportunity to either kill this boy or take this…" the boss trailed and stood up.

He went towards the small bookshelf of his office and grabbed a very old and almost worn out book. He opened it and turned on many pages until he reached the page he's looking for.

He showed it to his men and it was a picture of the bracelet that was given to Lucian when he turned eight.

"Either find this bracelet and bring it to me. Or kill him once you get the chance. If possible. Kill the other two as well and his friends whom you think he could've shared his identity with." He said to them and the men nodded before leaving his office.

The boss went back to his seat and stared at the picture frame of him and his late brother.

"You will meet your son very soon, brother."

Two weeks went by after the party and nothing has happened since. Cullen and Jairo were both safe and sound.

The whole university had started to become busy again.

After a heavy typhoon came by. A community that was residing near the river had been brought down into shambles. All its people had nothing left after the river took everything during the bad waather.

And Daemon University, being the closest is the first to volunteer for the community service and donating relief goods to the people. Many students who are born with a golden spoon on their mouths were dubious of it and would not have joined if only the school did not offer extra grades.

Once the weekend begins, they will spend the whole two days in the area helping other people.

"Just think of it as good exposure for us!" Cayden convinces his other roommates who had not stopped complaining during the ride. Specifically Jairo and Cullen.

The students who agreed to go there were supposed to go by bus. But the road is so dangerous that bigger transporters can not pass. Only cars can go as long as it can survive the thick and deep mud that was caused by the river.

Ross volunteered to bring a ride so everyone in their room can join in. He owns a jeep wrangler that was a gift from one of his friends upstates as a farewell gift. It's big enough for all six including all their things. He also had to ask their butler to change the tires so that it would be perfect for the muddy road they are about to take.

Ross and the other two stayed quiet on their side. He's the one driving. Steel is sitting beside him while asleep and Rasmus is sitting beside Cayden while using his phone.

He had glanced at the youngest countless times and he couldn't help but notice the smug smile on his face. He's been like that since the ride started.

After about 3 hours. 

They finally arrived at the location. Some of the students are already there and have started helping.

"Jairo and I will bring in the donation box." Cullen volunteered right away because he thinks that's the lightest work.

"Alright. The rest of us will help out." Cayden agreed with a sigh before beckoning the other three to follow him.

Cayden and Ross were both asked to help lift some things so they had to leave the two. Steel and Rasmus went over to help build the tents for the survivors.

"Rasmus?" The mentioned male turned his back upon hearing Annabelle's voice.

The two had been chatting ever since the boys left the university. They're still dating in secret and the only people who know about it are Mei and Steel. 

Mei found out because Annabelle told her and she promised to find out something about Steel for her if she doesn't tell anyone. Steel on the other hand is too smart and found out after throwing trick questions.

Annabelle and Mei had arrived first and they were the ones who helped by sorting out donated clothes. They're currently on break when they spotted the two.

"Uhm. You two can stay here. Steel and I can help outside in case someone comes." Mei suggested with a sheepish smile and her friend was quick to agree.

They left the two alone inside the tent that they've just finished building up. The sooner the two were gone, Annabelle could no longer keep her arms to herself and hugged Rasmus. Hiding her face on the crook of his neck. He gladly returned the hug and gently pressed his chin on top of her forehead.

They don't see each other often this week since they were all so busy. Annabelle had tons of schedules on her career but she and Rasmus made sure to keep in touch. Annabelle was so focused on chatting with him that Jamie nearly caught her.

"I miss you." The girl pouts and her words come out muffled.

"I miss you too." He replied with a chuckle and then placed a kiss on her forehead.

He gently leaned her back so he could look at her beautiful face.

"You've been very busy these days… You should have just rested at the dorm instead of coming here."

"But I won't see you… Besides, you said that helping people is a good thing. I want to be good too."

They broke into playful giggles at the simple statement. And then Annabelle started tiptoeing, trying to reach his lips for a kiss but Rasmus would playfully lean his head back since he's taller than her.

"Kiss!" The girl whined with a pout and suddenly grabbed him by his nape. She pulled him aggressively and crashed their lips into a heated kiss. Rasmus could somehow taste strawberries on her lips, and it gets addicting.

He responded to the kiss right away and the girl let out a satisfied hum. Then she leaned back and catches her breath before saying something.

"Can you give me a hickey?"
