C1 CHAPTER 1

MEGHAN's POV

When I woke up, I saw the white ceiling. As I remember, I overtook of drowse in Gov's office last night. I'm busy preparing the document that I need to pass as soon as possible. My graduation day is near, and my birth certificate is still complicated.

I stood up and went to the bathroom. I washed my face with a clean of water and my skin care. After making my morning routine, I went outside to see Governor Lucas standing at the door.

"G-Gov," I said while my head was lookdown on the ground.

"You slept in my office last night; that's why you're here," he said while carrying the tray of food.

"Sorry, Gov," I replied. I was shy, and he took me to my room.

"Just eat your breakfast, okay?" he smiled as he responded.

"Yeah, sure. Thank you, Gov," I smiled as I replied too.

"I'll go ahead, baby girl," he kissed my forehead and started to walk.

He is my adoptive father. He adopted me when I was fifteen years old. And now, I'm turning to twenty-two. I practiced calling him 'Gov.' I don't want to assume that I'm her biological daughter even though he never treats me like others.

He is the Governor in this area. Residents love him; that's why he never loses on his position.

I ate the food that Governor served to me. After that, I wear a simple fitted dress. I was going to submit my documents to the Dean.

"Madame, the car is ready," My driver greeted me with a smile on his lips.

Since Gov has a lot of cars, he gave it to me as my service. I entered my vehicle. And after a few hours, we were almost here. This school owns by Mr. Andres, the close friend of Governor Lucas.

I never suffered bullying here. Governor already told them that I'm her daughter. Only one man that never treats me in good condition. The son of the owner of this school.

"Meg! Here!"

I go to Sapphire's area.

"Meg, look! He is here! Gian Andres!" Sapphire's screeching. I looked back, and I saw him.

"Oh? Why have you gawked to him?" Sapphire said while smirking.

"Shut up, Angel!" I rolled my eyes at her, and I stared at Gian.

"Yuck! Stop it! MEGHAN HALE CREDO!" She emphasized the word Credo. I gave her a death glare as I replied.

"LEWIS. NOT CREDO," I said seriously.

"Okay, Okay! MEGHAN HALE LEWIS!"

I looked back on Gian's position, but I saw him talking that stupid girl!

"Oh, he is with Francine. So sad," Sapphire annoyed me.

My fist will close when I see them, especially how Francine smiled at him.

"Do you stop, or you stop?" I feel annoyed by her presence. She just smiled as she replied to my question. Sapphire didn't scare me.

She is a niece of the Governor, that's why she always be irritated to me.

I entered on Dean's office. After I submit my documents, we continue to go to Cafeteria.

The triumphant smile drew on my lips when I saw Francine walking toward us. She is carrying a tray with a glass full of juice and some plates.

I intentionally disrupted her—the reason why the tray was fallen on the floor and the juice corked on her dress.

"Opp, sarreh," I said with my sweetest smile.

She put down on the table before she faced me.

Uh, so she wants to fight with me?

"What's your problem, Meghan?" she asked.

I smile at her before I speak.

"Seriously? Till now, you don't know why? Stupid," I said and laughed as a fake one.

"Because of him? That's not my fault if he is still approaching me, Meghan,"

"Then stay away from him. You're such as slut!" I said.

"I already did, Meghan. I avoid him, but he still wants me —"

"Stop acting that you're beautiful, Francine, because you are still a student here. I warn you. STAY. AWAY. FROM. HIM," I said and rolled my eyes.

"What is happening here?" Gian asked me.

"Francine? What happened?" he worried asked, Francine. My blood started to boil.

"Why is your uniform so mess?" he stared at me.

"Ah Gian, I sprained on the corners of that table, that's why—"

"I'll check the CCTV. For now, go to Dean's office," he said.

"WHAT?! But Gian already said she sprained on the corners," I defended myself to Gian.

It's so annoying! I feel I'm going to burn right now! He stared at me once before he went outside the Cafeteria.

"What's your next plan? For sure, Gian does his best to know everything. He will know that you intentionally hit her," Sapphire's worried to me.

"Stupid Francine! Argh! You'll pay for this!"

I quickly went to the Dean's office while waiting for Gian. Francine's friend, who looks like a maid, is also here. Dean entered with Gian.

"Hi, Dean," I greeted him. He is a friend of Gov.

"Oh, Hija," he greeted me with a smile.

Gian quietly followed behind. While Francine just stared at Dean.

"Ms. Lewis, we need to talk to Governor Lewis. And Ms. Credo, you can change your clothing now. Here. Just wear it temporary," Gian said while holding a paper bag to Francine.

"WHAT ?! What do you mean, Gian?" I asked him.

"We already checked the CCTV. And we saw that is your fault," he added.

"But Gian, you know Gov can't come here because he's busy."

"Then we can hold your graduation march."

"Are you serious ?! You can't do that!" I said.

"Ah, Ms. Credo? You may leave now," Dean said. The four of us were left here.

"Gian, you can't do this to the daughter of the governor," Dean defended me. He is my ally, and he is just afraid of Gov.

"But Dean, that is her fault."

"Hija, you have to leave. I'll talk to Gian, okay?" he said to me. I just smiled. He voted for me for his son.

"Thank you, Dean," I said while smiling and looking at Gian. He was looking at me.

"You're different, Meg. Even Dean seems to have gotten inside, ah?" Sapphire said.

"Well, it should be. I'm soon-to-be daughter-in-law," I said and smiled.

"Well, what do you plan to do for your ex-sister?" she asked.

"Stop saying that! She is not my sister. I'm a Lewis, not a Credo," I said and continued walking.

"So you're going to let Gian don fall forever on that bitch?" she asked.

"Of course not! She ruined my life then. Will she ruin it now? Im not the old Anya Credo. I'm MEGHAN HALE LEWIS now."

Yes, she is my ex-sister. I was Anya Credo. She slandered me to dad and mom, so they kicked me out. They didn't even explain to me, because Francine is their favorite daughter. I used to stay with my relatives in case I was embarrassed, so I just slept on the street. I even worked as an assistant to Gov that time, so I stopped studying. But he looked and took care of me. He said he would adopt me. That is why I'm here now. I also changed my birth certificate. He changed all my details. Bettina became my adoptive mother, who is the ex of Gov.

"Meg, someone is looking for you." I looked at Sapphire. He is letting a man in.

"Hi, Meghan, my loves," he said and smiled at me.

Robert. The varsity player captain. His family is also a wealthy friend of Gov.

"For you," he said and reached for the flower.

"I hate flowers," I refused.

"Me too!"

"What? I hate flowers, and you know that," I said to her while looking at the flowers that Jobert was carrying.

"Ah, is that so? For you, Sapphire. Next time ill change it," he said with a smile.

I always rejected him. I told him that I wanted Gian and no one else. But here he is; he never stops flirting with me.
