Luca opened his eyes slowly; he really wanted to go back to sleep again. However, he did not have time to close his eyes. Luca’s eyes catch the movement of the short needle on a round object attached to the wall of the room, which points to seven, and the long needle is twenty.

He immediately woke up in shock not to run to the bathroom, but lazily sat on the bed. Then he rubbed his face roughly while yawning sleepily; he was already twenty minutes late for his school rules.His reflection was seen in the mirror, and he was yawning again for the second time.

This morning, he was still wearing a white shirt and short black boxers. With his messy hair, he also had a handsome face, pure white skin, and a sharp look that was adorned by the piercing brown eyes that he was proud of. However, only a few people know what Luca looks like now.Luca’s friends at school knew him as an introvert, a geeky kid, and a nerd. Even worse, he was called a poor kid who forced himself to study at an elite school. However, Luca deliberately made people think that way.

Until now, Luca had no intention of getting out of bed. Time passed quickly without him realizing that five minutes had passed in vain. He began to stretch his aching body and rub his hair. Slowly, he lowered his legs from the bed and prepared to get up.

It wasn’t until three minutes later that Luca really got going. After he felt ready to head into the bathroom to wash his face, he took a quick look at his face reflected in the mirror.

Luca is a lazy person who doesn’t like to be the center of attention, so that’s why he deliberately doesn’t pay attention to his appearance or how he dresses; he decides to just wash his face and brush his teeth because he feels that if he has to shower with the remaining time, he won’t have time.

“Well, yesterday I successfully went through the day peacefully without attracting the attention of those around me. So, today I should do the same, be quiet, and not attract attention again.”Luca talks to himself with a smile, as if he is encouraging himself.

Luca’s parents lived abroad and rarely came home. He bought a one-story luxury apartment just for him, and he lived alone there. However, the condition was that he had to return to his main home twice a week, and his parents arranged the apartment. As a result, he lives in a famous apartment where many top artists live. Equipped with a high-level security system, this was the reason for his parents.

Even though he himself only wants to live in a small house without strict guarding, what can make conditions are still conditions.Luca has always wanted to escape the shadow of his family, but he can’t just do it because he is the only child and the main successor of his family. His father is a successful businessman abroad and also the head of the underworld mafia, where they are engaged in hitmen and so on.Because of that, he wanted to live a simple life without anyone knowing his true identity, a life he craved, and he was also reluctant to get to know or be in a relationship with someone because it was a hassle for him.

Luca was given permission by his parents to be free to do whatever he wanted, on the condition that he obeyed his parents’ wishes. In particular, Luca’s father Therefore, he tries to stay out of trouble as much as possible.

5 minutes later, Luca came out of the bathroom wearing his school uniform. He took the package of bread that was on the dining table. Luca always prepared bread, considering he was not a morning person. If the butler in the main house knew what he was doing now, he might immediately faint from shock.

Luca put on his shoes and walked to the parking lot, riding his favorite ontel bike that he bought from a traveling beverage seller for the price of a 2-story shop and capital for the beverage seller to open a business later. The man cried, thanked God, and kept shaking Luca’s hand and saying thank you over and over again. Luca smiled at the memory while seeing his favorite bicycle.

In fact, Luca had dozens of cars and motorcycles that he could use as he pleased. But, according to him, the distance between the apartment and the school is quite close; after only spending five minutes, he can also easily leave the apartment through the back door connected to the path where people rarely pass because of rumors. It was Luca’s own doing by having his men look for thugs and stand guard in that area.

“You’re late, Luca; I almost closed the school fence.”

Said the teacher on duty at the time. The teacher gave his student a waiver to be 35 minutes late. Because, according to the teacher, school regulations that require students to arrive before seven o’clock are torture, especially for students whose homes are far away, especially not a few schoolchildren who lose their lives on the road just because they want to get to school on time.

Luca, who had parked his bike, walked straight to the teacher and greeted him.At school, he was known by the name Verluca only, although his name sounded luxurious but did not match his appearance at all. A shabby and geeky boy, he deliberately used a pseudonym so as not to attract attention, especially from his father’s enemies.

“Good morning, sir. Sorry I’m late. Fortuna is not on my side... I set my alarm, but it didn’t go off, and I overslept, sir.”

Luca greeted and made as much sense as possible to the teacher standing in front of him. The teacher nodded in understanding.
