Chapter 858 - Altair And Vega (1/2)
FIVE YEARS LATER
.

The two teenagers were laughing when they came out of the school gate. Their faces looked very similar, making people immediately guess that they were siblings or even twins.
Both had striking appearances, with long platinum blonde hair and deep blue eyes. The girl was stunningly beautiful with natural red lips, a pair of big round eyes, cute small nose, and long hair down to her waist in braided pigtails, looking carefree and laidback.
The boy had a very handsome face, long hair down to his neck that looked disheveled, but instead made him look really cool. Their similar looking eyes gave off indifference toward their surroundings.
”Uhm ... hello, Big brother Altair ...”
Their steps halted when suddenly a teenage girl in the same school uniform as they showed up before them. The girl was quite pretty with a thin layer of makeup and long, curly hair. Her expression was a mix of shy and nervous.
”Are you talking to me?” asked the young man, pointing his nose.
The girl pointed at the teenage boy with a red face. ”I want to talk to you...”
Vega just rolled her eyes and continued walking after hissing, ”Don't stay long. I'm hungry.”
Altair only smiled faintly and nodded. He immediately crossed his arms on his c.h.e.s.t and asked the teenage girl, what was her purpose of stopping him outside of school.
”What is it?” he asked with a probing look.
”Uhm ... I just want to give you this ...” The girl quickly took a box out of her bag and handed it to Altair. ”It's nothing big. I just wanted to give this present to you. My family traveled to Switzerland last weekend and I brought chocolate for you.”
”Why, thank you.” Altair took the chocolate from his fan's hand and held it up with a smile. ”I'll share it with my sister. See you around.”
He then walked away, leaving the girl staring at him with round eyes. Not long after, Altair had managed to reach Vega who was standing waiting for him at the end of the road while toying with her nails.
”Oh, that was fast,” Vega commented when she saw the arrival of her brother. ”What did you get this time?”
”Chocolate from Switzerland,” Altair said with a chuckle. ”Her family spent their weekend in Switzerland and she wanted to give me chocolate from there.”
Vega burst into laughter. She felt so amused that she had to hold her waist and lean on a tree on the side of the road.
”Gosh ... apparently a rich kid this time,” scoffed the girl. ”They spent their weekend in Switzerland ... hahahahaha. How fancy!”
Altair pulled his sister and ruffled her hair, ”Sush... don't let anyone hear you.”
”Ahaha .. yes, sorry, I'm so amused. She thought, by showing off her wealth, she would be able to attract Altair Medici's heart ...” Vega said with a big smile. ”If only she knew who we really are.”
”Shhh ... let's go home. We promised Dad to stop by the shop to get vegetables for dinner, right?”
Vega nodded. She then took her brother's hand and they continued their journey home together. Their apartment was not far from the school. For the past two years, they had lived with Nicolae in his apartment because Altair and Vega insisted on experiencing life as ordinary teenagers.
