Winter's POVI woke up with Matthew hugging me tightly like a pillow as he slept.I roamed my eyes around the room and didn't find Elisse anywhere. I couldn't hear her voice from anywhere inside the room either.She woke up early today, huh?She probably went out to play with Maggie. She's really that close with our maids. That's why we had no choice but to bring them with us here in New Zealand. I turned my body to Matthew, who was still sleeping soundly. I couldn't help but smile as I stared at his handsome, innocent face as he sleeps. He really looks like a little kid whenever he sleeps. His brows were furrowed as if he was fighting with someone in his dreams and his lips were pouting. He got so tired from driving and carrying all our things yesterday, that's probably the reason why he's still asleep right now."What a sleepy head," I whispered, then pinched his cheeks. Good thing, that didn't wake him up. Instead, he turned to the other side without opening his eyes.I got up and
Winter's POV"Here, have some hot chocolate first." Matthew sat next to me as he placed a glass of water on the center table.He brought me to an inn after what happened a while ago. I told him that I want to be away from everyone for a while."Matthew.""Hmm?""Elisse... We should have brought her with us."He shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll get her tomorrow morning. I have also told Maggie and the others to watch after her.""Okay...""A-Are you alright? N-No, I mean, what do you want to do? Do you want to eat or something?" he asked, obviously worried about me.I heaved a sigh and slowly nodded my head. "I think I'll just eat...""Okay. Wait for me here, okay? I'll prepare something for you.""Okay.."I leaned on the couch as I pulled the blanket and covered myself with it while waiting for Matthew.It only took thirty minutes before he finally brought some food and placed them on the center table."It's Almond Butter Curry.""You do know a lot of cuisines, huh?"He smiled as he
Winter’s POVI woke up with Matthew still sleeping beside me. I couldn’t help but smile while looking at him. Something happened between the two of us last night and I don’t regret it. Although I still can’t forget about what I just found out about my family, Matthew made me feel better. “Winter…” he looked at me worriedly as soon as he opened his eyes. I gave him a smile. “Good morning, Matthew.”“Are you alright now?” “I feel better now.”He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear then.”“You’re such a naughty pumpkin.”“Huh?”“I didn’t know you’re so good at it.” I teased him. That immediately made him blush. “D…Do you want to have breakfast already? I’ll prepare it now.”I laughed as I hugged him. “Look at you getting embarrassed so easily. You really are so cute.”“Winter.”“I finally made up my mind.”“Huh?”I took a deep breathe before speaking again. “Let’s go somewhere far from everyone. I want to start a new life; I want to find who I really am. I want to know who
On a full moon night, wealthy people gathered inside a palace-like house to celebrate a very important event for a very famous family. Women are wearing beautiful extravagant dresses paired with their million-dollar pearls, and men wearing expensive tuxedos and perfectly polished shoes. Servers were walking back and forth holding trays of food to serve the visitors. People were busy murmuring to one another while holding a glass of wine in their hands.It was an event everyone in the business world couldn’t miss.‘Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we will witness the 100th anniversary of Lockwood Holdings! And to start the event, let us first have the son of the founder of Lockwood holdings, the son of Mr. Peter Lockwood, ladies and gentlemen, give a round of applause for Mr. Daniel Lockwood together with his wife Rachell Lockwood and their two sons, Mr. Timothy and Mr. Themis Lockwood!’As the emcee announced, a family of four went to the stage. Just by looking at their a
Themis’ POV‘Themis, run for your life now! Go with your brother!’My mom was trying to stand up while her own blood covered her feet. Two huge men were standing behind her holding guns. My brother and I were trying to run away when someone suddenly appeared in front of us.“And where do you think you’re going?”Before I could even see the face of the gunmen, the whole place blacked out.‘Run for your life now, Themis!’“Mom! I will save you, mom!”***“Young master Themis, wake up! Young master!”I opened my eyes and saw my butler looking at me with his worried face. He immediately handed me a glass of water as soon as I sat up on my bed.“Thank you, Hansel.” I said as I took the glass of water from his hand.“What’s the matter, young master?”I shook my head. “Nothing. I just had the same bad dream again.”“I see. Maybe you should book an appointment with Dr. Isabella again.” Hansel has been working for our family ever since we were just kids. He is a forty-year-old man now, and he
Winter’s POV“You are the only man in my life, Daniel. I will die for you.” I said as I put my hands around his shoulders.He looked straight into my eyes and cupped both of my cheeks.“You are the only one for me, Rachel. I will never love anyone the way I love you. I don't think I can live this life without you either. You are my everything.”Slowly, he moved his face closer to me. And when there was just an inch away for us to kiss—“Cut!” the director shouted. I immediately moved away from him. “Olivia! Water, please!”“Good job, Winter and Wilson! The two of you are really the best couple in the industry!” director Oliver complimented me and Wilson.“Thanks, director. By the way, can I go now? I actually have dinner with my family tonight, so I need to prepare.”He nodded his head with a smile on his face. “Sure, Winter. You can now take some beauty rest and go back here tomorrow for our last episode.”“Okay!”After that, I finally left the place with my personal assistant, Olivi
Themis’ POVAs soon as I went downstairs bringing my things with me, I saw all of our maids and butlers lined up in front of the door. I smiled at them. “Where’s Tim?”“He’s still in his room, young master.” One of the maids said to me.“I guess he doesn’t want to see me go.”“Young master Themis, please come back here safely,” Hansel said.The other maids suddenly bowed their heads to me as they spoke. “Come back to us safely, young master Themis.”A smile appeared on my face. “All of you worked so hard all these years so I thank you for that. I will do everything to bring our family back to its place before, and to make all of you proud. Just trust me, and I will come back here safely and with dignity.”Then all of them started crying, including Hansel. We’ve been together for so many years. We hide ourselves with them. They even had to pretend they got killed during that night just to protect their family. Some of them died because of oldness, but their children remained with us.
Winter’s POV“Miss, excuse me? Miss?”I opened my eyes and saw a man that has an eye patch on his right eye while looking at me. He was wearing a plain black shirt, faded jeans, and black cap. I roamed my eyes around the place and realized I was in a hospital. I immediately got up.“W-Why am I here? What happened? Who are you?!”“I-I’m Matthew. You accidentally hit my car a while ago. You lost your consciousness so I had to bring you here. But don’t worry, you just had a small cut on the side of your lips and a bump on your head but the nurse already cleaned it. And, I already paid the bill.” My brows furrowed. “Cut and bump on my forehead?! No!”I immediately reached for a hand mirror to look at my face and I saw a small bump on my forehead. “No! I just went to my dermatologist yesterday! What happened to my beautiful face?!”“D-Don’t worry, I think it will heal in about two to three days. And, it’s just a small bump anyway.” I glared at him. “A small bump?! Do you even know how i
