HVIS entered the cafeteria. They sat with the supreme.
The cafeteria was buzz.
"I heard she is coming today!"
"Finally!"
"She's back!"
"She's hotter than last year!"
"She keeps evolving! Ahhhhh!"
"President finally planned to see us huh?"
"Hi caleb" One of the section A student greeted him.
"Hey...sorry I got caught up. Being the leader of supreme group is hard" He chuckled.
"It's ok..." Rakki smiled.
"So your president is coming back today...." Someone from section D asked.
"Yeah!" Scarlett jumped right behind Caleb.
That's when everyone notice Savannah.....She wasn't happy....She looked rather disappointed.
Behind her few more people.
"So they are all mythicals?" Someone asked.
"Yes. don't worry only Savannah is rude...Heard what happened yesterday but the other mythicals aren't. The leaders of the mythicals are coming today too....She is they are also the presidents so yeah. Your project starts from tomorrow by the way." Scarlett smiled.
"After this there is an assembly. So we will go to the Main hall" Caleb looked at them.
"One more thing guys...there is a rule. You cannot leave the hall until Mythical leave. They have the highest power. So respect!" Scarlett emphasized.
*Assembly hall*
30mins that's how long it has been since, it has started.
It was normal stuffs.
Mythicals already seated. But two people were still missing.

Keifer's pov:
My gaze was still fixed on the 2 seats which was empty. But there was also a guy among them. His face looked....unclear. I tried to focus.
Effort?
Useless.
The 2 empty seats?
looks Like it was bored.
The Mariano twins.
The leaders of Mythical.
School president.
Powerful prodigies were still missing.
The big door of the assembly room swung open. HVIS, Section E...The other school all turned.
Whispers came right after.
"President..it's her!"
"She's back"
"Yess!"
"We needed her"
"One long year man."
I expected some random girl and her twin.
But What I saw was our Jay.
My wife.....My person.
She was wearing a shirt tucked in. Tie perfect. Hair?
free.
Wavy.
Slight makeup and lip gloss.
A royal blue colour coat swung over her shoulders.
Behind her was Jare. Dressed the same way.
They took their seats right at the 2 empty seats I was staring at. HVIS started whispering.
I leaned towards Caleb slightly.
"Didn't you say those 2 seats were for the Mariano twins?"
He chuckled.
"That's Jasper Jean Mariano. Next to her. Her brother Jasrit Jare Mariano."
It was loud enough for all section E, girls and Aries to hear.

Author's pov:
revelation was a different kind of heavy. It wasn't just shock; it was the sound of reality shattering.
The truth didn't come in a whisper—it came casually from an outsider from them. The guilt immediately crushed as they realised.
in this world, the Marianos weren't just a family; they were the law.
Ci-N gripped his phone tighter. Holding Rakki's hand, trying to hold back the tears. For once, the class clown had no punchline. He looked at Jay-jay—the girl who had shared cheap snacks with them and gotten into countless scraps—and saw a stranger draped in invisible gold.
the realization was a physical blow for some of them. If the Marianos were the government, then Jay-jay wasn't just their friend; she was the commander of the very forces they had spent their lives resisting.
They instinctively bowed their head praying if they could change the time, not out of fear, but out of a sudden, agonizing realization of the "rank" between them.
Keifer didn't move. He stood at the back of the room, eyes narrowed, watching the girl he thought he knew. To him, it was the power. He had always protected her from local thugs, Threats from his family only to find out she owned the place, the aura they fought on.
"Keifer we did a huge mistake" Drew pointed out.
Keifer's Jaw clenched. hard.
"I know...." he whispered.
Keifer's gaze turned to Aries. He didn't look surprised and that—
Made him, hate himself more than ever.
His gaze turned back to Jay.
The microphone screeched. The sound made the students groan in frustration.
They had to cover their ears.
"Hello everyone. I'm principle Lora.....A small announcement. We are going to have a election for president! So vote is mandatory. Is there anyone who is taking part other than Jean. Who is our current president?" Principle Lora looked at the crowd assembled.
The crowd looked around at each other none seemed to raise their hands and compete with her.
"Well then assembly is dismissed." principal lora said.
Jay was suppose to get up first and leave but Savannah got up first and left without a word.
The crowd gasped. Jay didn't mind. She saw HVIS...She didn't budge or worry about them being here or she was pretending not to.

Keifer's pov:
It hi me hard—
The engagement proposal....pls tell me Jay isn't Jaspher's daughter...
The Jay I love is engaged...now....to another guy. The president of this school...the leader of Mythicals...
No!
I have to get her back. She's mine.
Jax....he did say Jay was protecting me. But from what?
I saw Savannah leave.
"I thought the president was suppose to leave first?" I leaned closer to Caleb.
"Well...Jean doesn't mind. Savannah is just special." Caleb whispered back.
When Jay and Jare left I saw their eyes meeting mine for fraction of second.
All of us were to stunned to speak.
This wasn't the Jay we knew....This Jay looks—
cold.
Ruthless.
Unforgivable.
And Heartless....
