All Chapters of The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Time moves forward... ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ "Why'd it have to be me..." Eremes reluctantly fixed himself in front of the mirror as he struggled to put on his newly rented suit for the night. "Didn't even give me the suit.." At the last minute, the Bossman called him over to act as back up in case anything goes awry on the maintenance side of the event. Seeing as he knew every electrical port and other functions that the hall may have like the back of his hand, he reluctantly agreed that he was the proper person for the job. "Wish it didn't have to be me though.." The suited repairman lamented as he fumbled around with the red tie around his neck. "Fucking... Malaka.." Removing the offending piece of cloth, Eremes settled for the smart casual look with his suit essentially complete.. except for th

Applause filled the hall once more as the hanfu clad woman made her way up the stage. Eremes cursed under his breath about his own forgetfulness. So that was why she was so familiar! Well, that was what he got for not even voting during the last election. "Thank you for the warm welcome." The repairman paused in thought as Miss Mendel took the podium, her regal visage now squarely in front of all the people present. So all that time..  "As my husband, our Honorable Mayor Alex, wouldn't be available this week, we both decided that I attend this year's auction." Oh malaka. He's so fucking stupid. He was actually escorting that big of a wig through the hall?! "While he may not be here in body, he expresses his sound gratitude to the wonderful folk that made this

Athena struggled to keep herself awake as she stared blankly at the door, emerald eyes peeled as her paranoia locked her deep beneath her curled up blankets. They were going to come in through that door any second now. She just knew it.. No use in running. What was the point? There's no use running.. Mother always got what she wanted. Four days was a lot of time you wasted just hiding. What else can she do then?! Surely there's surveillance now going on outside of this hotel! She won't even last a minute without screaming out her location for all of them to see! *Click!* The rattled novelist froze in her place as a small click came from the direction of her door. Her heart rang in her ears as she fought against her urge to scream. Was it her?! Was her life over? 

"So, Mr. Patillo.." The vice-mayor of the city was anchoring herself to his arm.. "I've heard that you were the one in charge of refurbishing this very facility?" Was he sure he's not actually cursed or something? The head of maintenance struggled to keep his cool as they walked around the A3 floor, metaphorically sweating bullets at the absurdity of his situation. All the while, Miss Mendel clung onto him like an oyster on a rock as he tried to avoid the unapproving glares coming from what seemed to be everyone they ever come across.  "Uhh.. Yes, I was." Eremes answered halfheartedly as his eyes wandered from the floor all the way to the wall, desperately trying to avoid eye contact with the people around them. "I uhh, did my best." "You did a marvelous job." The seemingly unashamed woman chuckled behind her fan as they passed another auction. "Do be more

Nobody can stop the flow of time, even if the world may revolve around their whims. No matter how hard they may try, time moves forward... ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ It's been two days, two days since her door to the outside world had been locked. During that time, Athena laid relatively motionless, only getting up to eat the occasional instant ramen when the hunger was too much to bear.  How unhealthy. And did she care? Nope. What would Mother think when she sees you? The novelist tossed and turned between her sheets. No doubt Mother would think disapprovingly, just like she always did. What about dad? Her father was a spineless coward; turning a blind eye whenever Mother 'discipline
