Axiom Academy
Russia
'The Welcoming ball' was a legacy of Axiom Academy to accept talented students across the globe. From the past 60 years this institution stood out not only for it's exemplary education but also for the prestige and privileges it provided to the name of it's students.
Maximus Strom, Alaina's father strengthen it's pillars with time while his brother Reece Strom contributed his life towards the Academy as a teacher and principal.
Although Cally's father also enjoyed his childhood and teenage years as it's scholar, he was never interested in continuing their legacy- Valace Strom didn't wished to be the part of his brother's world, he had plans.....plans which were very different from them.
Students here were children of most influential business tycoons, though the Storms remained the undisputed Kings among them, but this Academy was much more than business for Maximus Strom.
The ballroom which with it's marble flooring of rich black colour was complimenting it's golden embroidered walls which were draped with ebullient red curtains, a set of gold chandeliers adorning the high ceiling of the room. Mahogany wood tables laid across the room, draped with golden covers.
Alcoholic drinks were strictly prohibited ,overrated expensive wines from the finest vein yards and most elegant food , beverages and fruits which were deemed as an extravagancy even among the richest were meant to be served.
In all it was a display of the royalty of Storms.
