CHAPTER 13 (Part 1)

Talliah Eryn Castillego POV

I AM the type of person who will do everything just to get what I want. I'm not that type of person who can easily surrender if I can't get what I want. I believe that everything you wished and wanted so bad, you will get it in the end.

You must work and think a nice way to get what you want. Even if it's in a cruel way. You must use your fucking brain to think properly. For me I use my brain and my connection to get what I want. You call me lucky? Guess you're right.

I blow the smoke out of my mouth. I licked my lips and threw the cigarette away. I scratched my right brow when I saw my baby eating lunch with his two male friends. I wonder where the hell on earth is Leina?

I leaned back on a tree as I was watching Rainer eating. I put the telescope in my eyes to see if he's eating but he's not. He only ate a little because his food is still the same. He was just sitting not with himself while listening to what his friends were talking about. I wanted to call him and ordered him to eat because he needs more energy but I just can't.

My fist clenched as I closed my eyes tightly. I suddenly opened my eyes when I felt something moving in a hidden plant. My brows furrowed. Is there a dog there?

Out of surprise I slowly walked towards the direction where something seemed to be moving.

My eyes widened when I saw a boy wearing a big round glasses. His polo shirt and slacks are big for his size and look old. But what caught my attention more is... he is eating alone. Hiding behind this plant. His eyes immediately widened when he saw me standing in front of him.

He quickly avoided my gaze and using his shaking hands he put his lunch box inside his bag. He's so ready to run away from me when I held his arms.

"Hey don't be scared," I softly called him.

He was afraid to face me before bowing hi head.

"Sorry Miss. Don't spread what you see that I'm eating here." He said shakily while adjusting his big glasses.

Why is he saying sorry? And spread that he eats here? I'm not that type of person.

"Young boy look at me." I ordered him. Even though his hands were shaking, he looked at me. His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at my face.

"Stop shaking. I'm not going to eat you." I uttered. But I want to eat one person. I smirked at the thought.

He suddenly calmed down and looked at me carefully.

"Why are you eating here alone? There's a canteen in this school. So why here?" I asked him curiously.

He shyly looked away before answering "I can't afford the food at the canteen. I'm just buying myself and my dish isn't good, maybe they'll laugh at me." His shaking voice made my heart melt. He's hiding because his food is not that good and he thinks people will laugh at him. I feel so sorry for him

I lightly patted his head so he looked at me. I did not show in my eyes that I felt sorry for him. Instead I smiled warmly at him.

"Do you want to work for me?" I asked that made him stunned a bit.

"I will give you allowance every month enough for your needs. If you want something else than that then you can tell me what you needed. Just work for me. The things I will ask you to do are not that hard. Deal?" I asked him which made him stop even more. He's shocked I guess?

I snapped my fingers at his face making him to come back from his thoughts. He jumped a little which made me smile.

"Do you agree?" I asked while raising my right eyebrow. My smile grew wider when he slowly nodded his head.

"Do you have a paper and a pen?" I asked him. He nodded quickly and hurriedly took a pen and paper.

I wrote quickly on the paper.

"Eat baby. Don't starve yourself. You need a lot of energy. I'm watching you so fucking eat."

Love: T.E.C

I quickly folded the paper and looked up at the person in front of me with a smile. I don't know his name.

He quickly looked away so I laughed softly. He's shy.

"Hey what's your name?" I asked him while giving back his paper and pen. He immediately get it and put it inside his bag.

"Alister. My name is Alister." He said softly just enough for me to hear.

"You have a nice name." I praised him so he smiled a little.

I pointed out to him Rainer who was sitting inside the canteen. We can see him outside because the canteen in this school has a glass wall.

"See that handsome man right there." I pointed in Rainer's direction. Alister followed him curiously before he faced me with questioning eyes.

"Who is he?" he asked curiously. I smiled sweetly at him.

"That's my baby." I uttered proudly. Alister eyes widened because of what I said. He looked at my uniform with surprise.

"Are you a teacher in this school?" He asked confused. I nodded quickly and told him I'm just a substitute teacher.

"Is that your brother?" Alister asked causing the smile on my lips to disappear. What the—

"Nope. That's my boyfriend." I smirked making him stunned. Yeah right he couldn't believe it. His lips parted as he looked at me and Rainer's direction. He was about to say something but he just kept his mouth shut.

"So here's your first task. Give the paper to that man. If he will ask you who gave that paper, don't answer him that I did, okay? Just say that someone is giving it. And here, buy yourself a lunch and eat inside the canteen. Do you understand me? I will be watching you from here. Now go."

I ordered him. His eyes widened as he stared at the five thousand placed on his palm. He looked at me in disbelief.

"It's all mine?" He asked still bewildered. I nodded my head and gave him a small smile.

"Thank you. Thank you very much." he said tearfully while staring at me. I smiled sweetly at him.

"Alright. Do what I told you. I'll be here watching you do your task."

He gave me a genuine smile before turning his back on me and walking towards the direction of the canteen. But we were only a few feet away when he suddenly stopped. I looked at him in surprise.

"What's your name Miss?" He asked politely.

I smiled and laughed softly. He doesn't know my name yet.

"Just call me Miss Eryn." I muttered and smiled at him. His face light up and he bow down his head.

"Thank you again Miss Eryn. I will promise that I will not forget you and from this day forward I will serve you." he promised as he bowed. He lifted his head and gave me a real smile again before walking all the way inside the canteen.

My heart swelled in happiness at his words. He doesn't really have to thank me. It just give and take situation. He will do something for me so I should give him something. I was watching Alister as he gave the paper to Rainer. I saw how Rainer's forehead went in knots as he read the paper.

His eyes widened as he read the paper. He looked around the canteen as if he was looking for something. Before he saw me standing on the side of the tree. I quickly walked towards the office where Wallace put me.

I sat down on the swivel chair with a smile before closing my eyes. My class is still on five pm. So I have hours to take a rest and gain more energy for later.

***

I SPRAY some mint in my mouth before I walked out of my office. I badly want to hug my baby. I miss him so bad.

The sound of my heels is what I can only hear as I walked towards my man classroom. As I stepped my feet inside, the room immediately got quiet. It's as if an angel just graced the room.

Rainer's classmates stood up quickly when I entered their room. I quickly searched Rainer's eyes. The corner of my lips rose up when I saw his wide eyes.

He immediately avoided my gaze when he felt that I was staring at him intensely.

I discussed lessons, then gave them a 30-item quiz. The class is so quiet while answering their quiz. I tapped my ballpen on the table as I was watching Rainer focus on his paper. So, he studied, huh? I wonder where he is yesterday.

My smirk vanished when I saw Gunter looking at me. I avoided his gaze and looked at the paper on my table instead.

After minutes of answering. I looked at my wrist watch and saw that it was already time. I lick my lips before standing up.

"Okay, class. your time is up. Girls, pass your papers to Jess. Boys, pass your papers to Rainer. After you pass your papers, you can go out. That's all for today. Go home safe, class,” I uttered while looking at them one by one.

Some boys shouted because they're finally done for the day. They passed their papers and then they immediately got out of the room.

I was watching Rainer as he was so tensed getting the paper from his classmate. I hide my smirk when Jess walked towards me and handed me the papers. She mannerly said goodbye to me before she got out of the room.

When Jess get out of the room and only Rainer and one of his classmates including me remained inside the room. I can't help but to smile creepily, this time you can't run anymore. Rainer waited for his classmate to finish answering before he took the paper from her. Campos quickly stood up, if I am right about his surname, and he quickly slung the bag over his shoulder.

"Campos," I called. A reason for me to grab his attention.

"Yes Miss?" He asked politely.

"Kindly lock that door if you will go out." I ordered while pointing the other door. He smiled and nodded his head. He looked at Rainer and lightly patted him on the shoulder before saying goodbye.

My sweet smile plastered on my lips as I heard the lock sound of the door. I walked slowly to the other door near me and immediately locked it. My blazing eyes immediately landed on Rainer as he slowly tilted his head to my side. I was shocked when his eyes were also blazing with emotions like mine.

I walked towards the white board and leaned my back on it. While I didn't take my eyes off Rainer. So, he's mad at me huh?

"Give me the papers." I ordered coldly while looking at his brown orbs. He scoffed and rolled his eyes at me. What the actual fuck! Did he just roll his eyes at me?!

I gritted my teeth when Rainer slowly walked towards my direction. When he was in front of the table he quickly put the papers on it then he suddenly turned around and didn't even look at me for a moment!

My heart suddenly ached at his coldness.
