Dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. The roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun. The sky was an expanse of sapphire blue, dotted with feathery white clouds as the radiant rays of the sun shone brightly in the azure blue sky.Driving down the long road, Sumire's gaze darted outside watching the horde of birds flying to the Southeast and the chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. Smiling from ear to ear, the maiden couldn't ask for than this moment. "What do you think our baby will be? a girl or a boy?" Gaze turn to the hunk, Sumire asked smilingly while her fingers intertwined with his right hand. Mort's left hand was holding the steering wheel. The hunk brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it which made her heart flutter. They both headed to the hospital where Sumire will have her first ultrasound. The weather is beautiful and windy. It's just perfect. It was a cool and breezy afternoon. A strong gust of wind blew against her face from t
Engulfed with sorrow and sadness, Sumire embraced Blanche while they are boarded inside the chopper. She could feel her chest tighten as she immediately regretted running away from Mort. The maiden felt half of herself left behind. They arrived at Chadwick's manor in Francois, but Sumire remain silent. Blanche guided her out of the chopper as they sauntered inside. She misses Mort badly, his warmth and embrace. They were just in each other's arms last night but now they have separated again. The maiden felt that fate was playing with them. Her heart wishes that all hindrances in their relationship will be over. Hopefully, all the problems related to the world Mort grew up in will be over. She would rather wish that world he grew up with didn't exist anymore. It never occurred to her mind to give up her relationship with Mort and she never thought of ending everything they had. Even though sometimes she feels exhausted by what is happening, she continues to fight for the two of them
The sun is high and shining brightly in the clear blue sky. Mort, Klauss along with the twins arrived at Brethren City. Some of Mort's men under Klauss's command arrived at the private airport and bring them cars. The group headed straight to the MDA building.The employees sauntered to the lobby, busy with the paperwork and in a hurry, greeted them. Upon their entrance, all of them formed in a line, make their way, and bowed to Mort. In a diamond formation, Mort preceded as Klauss walk next to his right side, and on the left side were the twins. Boarded in the black elevator, none of them speak. The elevator brings them to the top floor of the building where Mort's office is. Footsteps thundered down the hall, they stridden the long passageway to the certain room. "We're back-" Lyric and Leroy in unison but quickly stopped.The four men were greeted by Laurel in their Boss's office facing the computer, wearing big round eyeglasses without lenses, sipping from a straw that was no lo
Eyes lazily open, Narco got up after a series of knocks on his bedroom door. Those thuds from the door were too loud as if there was a killer inside the house. His pair of golden orbs looked at the glow-in-the-dark wall clock on the ceiling and it was two in the morning. He was about to go back to bed when someone outside his door screamed."Narcoooo!" Sumire shouted loudly like a landowner as if the young man owed her a debt. Fury made her feet strike the ground in heavy clomps. With messy bed hair, Narco stood up in his boxers not bothering to cover himself with a towel or sheets. He then proceeds and opened the door to see the maiden blushed with anger. Cheeks grow scarlet and swollen from shouting. Her scorching death glare was directed at him and both hands were on her waist."I want to eat." Sumire greeted him with a scowl as if Narco had the pot of food with him. The young man raised his eyebrows. Stand taller than her, Narco's eyes went blank and hovered over her. He didn't
Wearing his famous stoic face, Mort was facing the screen of his computer while hands were busy fiddling on the keyboard, Leroy and Lyric were restless in their seats. Narco sent them a message with random letters and numbers and they couldn't decipher it properly. What he sent to them made no sense. The twins think that maybe it was just a prank by Narco. But his message hasn't gone off their minds. Sitting on the sofa, Leroy and Lyric tried to call Narco but the phone seemed to be turned off. They failed to reach him. Sighing heavily, they wish to know Narco's exact location. The twins hope they could leave the place and would look for Narco. Leroy and Lyric instinctively turn their gaze on someone in the room. Klauss, who had been looking at his phone, added to their worries. Even their Boss's secretary was busy, every now and then he glances at the phone as if waiting for a call or message from someone. Although they have a hunch he is waiting for Laurel, they are still unsure ab
It's been days since Blanche was worried sick about her cousin. It is unusual for Sumire to skip breakfast and became silent. She doesn't even eat the hidden snacks in the big fridge inside her room. She no longer touches her favorite unnamed dessert, like her cravings for fruit and ice cream, marshmallows, and milkshakes she dearly loves. It's also rare to see the maiden never fights Narco when she is the one who consumed her own food. Though Sumire was no longer crying than the last time, she can be seen hugging the hotdog pillow while staring into the nothingness. She doesn't utter even a single word and just stays in the same position. Blanche sighed heavily as if Sumire was like a broken living doll now. Her eyes freeze. She doesn't bother to blink. Those orbs seem like a hole of dark abyss; dull and dead. No sign of emotions cruising in her beautiful pair of midnight orbs. She no longer cares to fix her messy hair. Sumire used to put on light makeup to make her babies look han
The sun peeked at the East horizon, with warm beams piercing through the fluffy rosy clouds. The birds keep chirping, and the breeze is cool. The first rays of dawn seeped into her room with their golden magic, spreading various hues of silver and gold. The morning was exceedingly beautiful!Long and dark wavy eyelashes slowly flutter, Sumire wakes up with a beaming smile and felt light within. She feels a sudden feeling of serenity flowing through her veins. All the negative vibes and emotions vanished in just one night. It's like she just got cleanse or whatever.Her morning is now invigorating that even if she sees the person she loathes, her day won't be ruined. Sumire's smile widened when she remembered how wonderful her dream was last night. She felt like it was real!The maiden yawned and rose from the white sheet, stretching her body from side to side before getting out of her bed. Sumire sauntered to the window and opened it. The beautiful garden below the room greeted her. Ho
12:30. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly and the sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky. The peaceful summertime was filled with the small wind and the buzzing sounds of cicadas echoing around. It's been two days since Lyric and Leroy arrived at Francois. The temperature was scorching and the intense heat was burning their skin. The twins were outdoors working under the burning sun and the third day of their torment."I didn't sign up for this," Leroy complained as he pulled a bunch of weeds from Chadwick's garden. Lyric, on the other hand, trimmed the bermuda grass with hair clippers. It would have been easy for them if Sumire had just let them use the gardener's tools at Chadwick's manor but the maiden wants to torture them. The two of them had thought that they would just watch over her, accompany and guard her wherever she roams and, as Narco said, cook her favorite cuisine. The twins ask Mort to teach them how to cook but they couldn't use what they learn when they
