Oden never knew that a man of business’s life was so busy. The pace at Slegh’s that he was used to, was relaxed and leisurely in a polite language…. if one was perfectly honest, then they would call it sloppy. His admiration for Carl grew as he watched and learned. Even though he was swept off his feet, Oden didn’t slack even for a second. He knew his cousin was destined for bigger things and he couldn’t drag him down. Even with the limited resources he had, his cousin and wife managed to build

  • Second chance at happiness   Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?

    Southamberston barely had time to catch its breath.Visitors arrived one after another, leaving Harrison and the others scarcely a moment to rest.Bari swept in as though the wind itself carried him, arriving before the excitement of Credi’s arrival had even faded.“You’re back.” Matthew chuckled as he greeted him. Harry stepped forward as well, welcoming him warmly.“How could I dare not come when your precious daughter made a request?” Bari laughed. “Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?”“That girl…” Matthew shook his head helplessly. “What did she ask you for?”Bari glanced around cautiously before leaning closer to the two men.“Silver Siphon,” he whispered.Silence fell instantly.“Did you get it?”“Not as many as your little girl asked for…” Bari’s face fell. “I barely managed to get hold of one.”“That is one more than any of us could manage.” Harry shrugged with a helpless expression.“How many did that girl ask you for?” Matthew knitted his brows.“As many as I could gath

  • Second chance at happiness   You know my father?

    The old man’s expression didn’t change… but the air between them did. He studied Jack for a long moment, his intent unreadable.“Then…” he murmured, voice low, “you’ve just taken something the Lion once bled for… bled to keep from his own soil.”Jack’s expression tightened, for the briefest fraction of a second. But the old man’s sharp eyes caught it.“You know my father?”“How could I not?” The old man’s gaze turned distant, a trace of melancholy surfacing as he muttered, more to himself than to them, “One does not walk this world and fail to feel the sun.”Then his eyes sharpened again, settling on the young couple.“Tell me… do you understand what you carry away?”A pause settled between them.“It is no trivial thing… to be set aside when it no longer pleases its keeper.”Mira stepped forward slightly. “We don’t… but we’re retrieving it for someone who does.”“I hope so…” The old man waved a hand, as if dismissing them.A faint exhale. “This is all I can do, old friend.I ha

  • Second chance at happiness   How dare you draw a sword at my husband?

    “You… you are the Lion of Zumerong?” He shook his head, disbelief clouding his eyes. “No … you can’t be… not so young…”“Huh?” Mira took a step back, confusion flashing across her face, but she didn’t move from where she stood, still shielding Jack.Jack’s lips curved faintly.Neither of them answered.The man moved.There was no warning… no shift in breath, no tightening of muscle. One moment he stood still, the next a blade slid free from his staff and cut through the air----and stopped.A sharp metallic crack rang out.Jack stood where he had always been.His blade had already intercepted the strike.The tip of the sword hovered inches from Mira----but it would go no further.Jack’s gaze lifted slowly.The warmth from before was gone.“You are not worthy of that face…” the man hissed, his weapon shifting between staff and blade moving as one as he struck again.“Who are you?”Jack didn’t answer.Steel met steel.Once. Twice.On the third exchange------ the staff twisted out of th

  • Second chance at happiness   Why trust someone who doesn’t trust me?

    Everyone froze at the explosive news Jerome had dropped.It took them a moment to recover, long enough to register that Linus had fainted… before they rushed to his aid.Jerome was already there, catching him before he could hit the ground. His face was stricken with guilt and regret. His lack of tact had caused this. He should have considered his uncle’s age instead of blurting things out like he used to in their younger days.“Uncle…” His voice caught.“Don’t worry… the old man will be fine,” Maryanne said gently. She took the cup Harrison offered and sprinkled water over Linus’s face.Linus’s eyelids fluttered, then slowly opened. His gaze fixed on the blurry figure before him.“Alex… is that you?” he asked weakly.“Uncle…”The image cleared.Not Alex… just mischief wearing guilt.Linus let out a soft sigh and pushed himself upright. “Don’t worry… Uncle is fine…” He gripped Jerome’s hand tightly. “But… what were you saying? You said…”Jerome lowered his head.“Is it true?” Linus pre

  • Second chance at happiness   Do you want to tell us old timers what the hell is going on?

    Ludo had just left when Harrison announced the arrival of the next batch of visitors.A very pissed-off Cousin Farris… and Uzi. They had been left behind at the Zumerong estate by the Zumerongs themselves.“We thought you were worn out from the journey,” Wilkin said with a sheepish smile. The truth was, they had been impatient… and hadn’t had the heart to disturb their rest.“Hmph!” they both huffed as they dropped into their seats, the sound sharp with lingering annoyance.But irritation didn’t last long here. It rarely did.Their expressions shifted as they took in the room… quick glances, silent counting.Jerome wasn’t there.Neither was Leander.The edge in their shoulders eased, just slightly. So, they hadn’t missed it after all.Zelda followed Jerome back into the formal lounge, her steps measured, her expression composed.Conversation faltered.“You… you… you…”Linus was the first to react. He pushed himself halfway out of his seat, finger trembling as he pointed at Zelda like h

  • Second chance at happiness   Ha! They’re worse than us.

    Back at Southamberston, the relaxed atmosphere was slowly dissipating.They had gained a lot in just a few days… finding the nephew, cousin, and grandnephew they had thought long gone. And in times like these, the chances of losing them again were just as real.What started as noise and chaos slowly gave way to serious discussion… filling in the exact details of what had happened… especially with Jerome.With each passing minute, the tension began to rise.The first to crack was, of course, the one with the shortest fuse.“Are you sure Jerome is back to himself?” Humphrey asked for what felt like the hundredth time. He pushed to his feet abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor. “I think I’ll head out and see if I can find anything.”“Don’t be silly,” Linus scolded. “Do you even know where they wandered off to?”Humphrey’s gaze slid meaningfully toward Jerome’s usual partners-in-crime.“Don’t look at us…” Harry shrugged. “Ever since he got his nephew, we’ve lost favour.”“They’ll

  • Second chance at happiness   The young Lord’s face is his identification token

    Jack, Mira, Martin and Thomas didn’t head to Southamberston as they had previously planned but instead, headed straight for the palace. However, halfway through, Martin met with Lyra, the eldest daughter of Cain, the first master Soren who was heading in the direction towards Southamberston looking

  • Second chance at happiness   What matters is … I remember ...

    Although Wilkin rushed into the room, he stood like he was shot with a bolt of lightning; He opened and closed his mouth, even though he wasn’t able utter a single word. Jerome lazily lifted his eyes as he sensed the movement outside the door, but his gaze froze momentarily as he saw the person who

  • Second chance at happiness   Hell is about to break loose…Are you ready to meet your maker?

    The shadow guard who had previously left arrived with Dame Killion just as they finished speaking. “Your highness.” Jane knelt with her right hand fisted to her chest, as was the customary greeting for knights and soldiers during missions; currently she wasn’t appearing before Orseus as the Duchess

  • Second chance at happiness   With or without his memories…. a tiger can never shed its stripes

    Cornelius and all the men who came along with him started on their way back just after daybreak. They didn’t forget to make noise and let everyone in their surrounding area know of their disappointment and helplessness as they had to return back to their homes. The trip back was without any events;
