Jennie's POV
We arrived at the villa around 8 in the evening. It's an understatement that I'm having mixed emotions right now. I'm scared cause Lisa may go. I'm confused about what should I feel since half of me wanted to still be around Kai... Cause he's the one that I love right? Fuck.. Why am I trying to convince myself? I wanted Kai for too long... I saw him in New York and I chose him over Lisa that time. But why can't I do that now?
I sighed heavily as we go in... Jackson grabs my arm and gestures for us to go out. "Mom Jennie and I will just go out for a moment we'll be back so we can eat" he said and ushers both of us to the backyard. I brush my hair back while sighing when Jackson stood next to me putting his hands on his pocket.
"What do you feel? " he asks
"What should I feel? " I replied
"You know what Jennie.. I've done my part. " he said looking at me but I kept my gaze ahead "I went to China to avoid the feeling that I have for Lisa... I let you have her just because I know that you might feel the same way towards her. I've done my part... Lisa's friends did their part...everyone else did their part but you haven't. " this time I turn my head to look at him so he can continue "let's say you've been sweet to Lisa... You've been less bitchy around her but it's not enough if you haven't told her what you feel... I know action speaks louder than words but don't you think it's unfair if you won't say it to her? If she's not sure that you do feel the same way?" he gave me a reassuring smile before looking away "Jennie... Do you know what? I understand that you can't tell Lisa how you feel. Cause why will you convince other people that you feel that way when you can't even settle it down on your own? You can't even convince yourself that you feel that way. Correct? " he asked making me sigh... I don't know what to do right now "If Lisa won't get the assurance that you do like her then there's no reason for her to stay... There's no reason for her to keep on fighting over what she feels if you're not fighting with her, it's hard to keep something if only one person wants it. It's hard for Lisa to work out this thing between the both of you if you're not helping her" I looked down as I feel guilt all over me

"But I don't know how should I feel" I said in almost a whisper
"I'm not pushing you, Jennie. I'm here to wake you up cause you've been sleeping since the day Kai left you... That's a long time ago Jennie. And don't you think you should've been together already when he came back? But look where you are right now? You even spent your day off with Lisa in Finland " the memories from our vacation came rushing inside my mind and all I'm seeing is how Lisa made me happy at that time... every time "Jennie... You'll lose Lisa tonight if you won't say it but it doesn't mean you'll lose her completely. Make the right choices Jennie before everything's too late" he says patting my back "head back inside when you're fine" he walks in leaving me there deep in my thoughts
Minutes passed by and I went inside the dining room seeing them all settled down. I look over at Lisa and saw her smile back at me as I sit next to her and I can't help but smile a bit back to her.
"So Lisa... Congrats on your graduation" dad say as the maids put plates right in front of us so we can start eating
"Thank you" she says smiling genuinely at my dad
"I also heard from Jackson about your story I hope you don't mind cause we've been searching for you for so long to thank you" he said while eating from time to time
"No I don't mind and you don't have to thank me cause I bet other people will do the same if they'll hear those kinds of conversations" she said chuckling a bit
"Not everyone..some will be too afraid to be part of it but you're too brave and your braveness saved Jennie and my family" he replied to Lisa while smiling at her "so I've been talking to some of the greatest police out here in Korea to plan on arresting them. It won't be easy but I promise you that I'll do anything to give you and your family the justice that you deserve" he paused to drink some water while still looking at Lisa "and this time they'll be put in a higher facility so they won't have at least 1% chance of escaping from the jail and I will make sure of that Lisa, you have my words" He said. I've been listening through it all and I'm still here sitting nervously that he might go and talk about Lisa's resignation already

The whole dinner passed by and I thought that we won't talk about it already but right after the dinner we all stayed seated since dad told us to
"Lisa... I'm very sorry that even though I owed you a lot for saving Jennie you end up working for us to pretend as Jennie's girlfriend. It's been tough for you and I'm sorry for that. Now let me repay you by letting you quit being Jennie's girlfriend and I'd be very happy to help you with everything that you wanted to do now that you're done with school. I'm sure Jennie doesn't mind that anyway..right dear?" He said looking over to me... I looked up and saw that all of their eyes are on me "Kai's back and you'll have what you want so the media won't question anything anymore and you've asked for this before Lisa right?.. Jennie, what do you think?" He's right... I have Kai now, but what about Lisa? I guess I have to choose
"I want Lisa to be happy... I want her to have the future that she wanted without being tied up to anyone"

A fantasy progression, a coming of age story, and a tale of revenge... Alvixia "Vix" Altorelli's idyllic childhood is disrupted in one tragic night when the duke's fanatics ransack the Altorelli home and imprison the rest of her family, selling them into slavery across the ocean. Vix soon finds herself fleeing for her life and her freedom, fleeing to the faraway city of Floria on an island ruled by the mysterious Nurass, Prince of Shadows. In Floria, Vix's sharp mind and talent for magic land her a spot at the Perdita Free Collegium, the world's greatest school for spies, saboteurs, swashbucklers, seductresses and, some claim, practitioners of dark magic... and that suits Vix just fine. If the Collegium wants to give Vix the tools she needs to save her family and get her revenge on Duke Orso, she'll take that deal any day of the week and twice on Saintsdays, even if that means making a deal with the Prince of Shadows himself. This is Vix's tale. Author's Note: Now that Writathon 2022 is over, updates will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays!
