“My brother, he is on a honeymoon now, isn’t he?” Declan sighed as he closed the phone. He had been trying to call his brother but he did not pick up his phone at all. The man must be busy with his wife right now and it was his right. They were married after all, but Declan couldn’t help but feel uneasy about it.
As he was thinking about Karina, his phone suddenly rang and he saw Amber’s name on it. Yes, he almost forgot she was already in New Hampshire. He took the call and murmured a slow Hello when he heard her cheery voice from the other side.
“Declan, I’m free for the entire day, do you want to go shopping with me?” She asked. She sounded so excited that even though Declan wasn’t feeling like it, he could not refuse her.
“Okay, I’m available from four pm today. We&rs

The staff had prepared a table outside of their room, in the patio. A selection of seafood and meat was cooked to perfection. A vase of red rose and varieties of carnation was placed in the middle to sweeten the atmosphere alongside a line of candles.She was wearing a slip dress with a warm robe cover since it was a bit windy that evening and he was wearing the same type of robe as well. They sat down and she gasped in amazement. It was probably one of the most romantic thing he had ever done for her ever since they got married and something about the way everything was arranged really set the mood.“I promised before that I would hold a romantic dinner for you. Well, here it is. Do you like it?” He asked. She nodded and was

Not long after, there was an invoice coming from her guard downstairs that there was a visitor.She closed her book and walked downstairs to see who the guests were. When she arrived in the living room, she was stunned to see a familiar short black hair with red streak.“Aunt Libel?” She asked. Lobelia turned her head around with a small smile.“Ah, Karina, I’ve told you to call me Lobelia. You and your husband are the same in this case, never listening to my name request.” She sighed slowly before standing up. As she did, Karina noticed another person in the room, it was a small boy, probably only four or five years old.He had milky white skin, dirty b

"I know now it is children who accept life. Grown people cover it up and pretend it is different with drinks."-Rumer Godden-***“Eden, this is Aunt Libel’s son, Leonardo. However, he usually goes by Leo.” She introduced the boy to Eden who still looked pissed by his existence. The boy refused to let go of Karina’s clothing and continued to hide behind her.“Leo, don’t be afraid. This is my husband, Eden. He’s your distant cousin. Why don’t you come here and greet him?” Karina suggested with a gentle voice. Leo looked terrified of Eden but still decided to take a step forward and greeted him with a simple ‘Hello’.Eden who did not really like an outsider taking all of Karina’s attention planned on scaring the boy but when Karina stared at him with a hopeful gaze, he decided to reply to the boy’s greeting.“Hello, Leo.

"Even though you're growing up you should never stop having fun."-Nina Dobrev-***“I want to go to the park.” The little boy suddenly came with such a request when Karina was accompanying him to play. She turned around and looked at him with a confused expression.It had been a few days since Leo first lived together in her place, but it was the first time he ever asked anything from her without her asking first.“Park? I don’t think there are any park around this house. You have seen it yourself, haven’t you? The mansion is surrounded by forest and it’s difficult to leave. The only option is to wait for Eden to come back home, then we can take the car to the town and find a park there.” She reasoned.Leo seemed a bit upset and disappointed when he heard it. Karina who couldn’t bear to see him so dispirited tried to cheer him up with other method.“You k

How did things turn out this way?” Aaron asked to himself, panting as he was running away from the people who wanted to end his life. He quickly tried to find a place to hide.On the corner of his eyes, he spotted an empty warehouse and dashed his way there. He quickly got in and shut the door as soon as possible and hid himself behind a stack of boxes. From where he was sitting, he could hear the sound of the men outside chasing him.They did not seem to notice that he had gotten into the warehouse and slowly, the sounds of their footsteps became further away. Once he was sure that they were no longer chasing him. He took a deep breath and cursed underneath his breath.“Where did things go wrong?” He questioned mentally. After that fateful night whe

What happened?” Karina slowly opened her eyes but when she tried to move her body, she felt a stinging pain in her stomach that caused her to groan out loud.“Karina, lay down. You shouldn’t be moving too much like this. You’ve just had the surgery. You should stay still until your body recovers.” She heard a familiar voice from beside her. When she turned around, she saw Eden’s concerned face beside her.“Eden? Oh god, where is Leo?” She almost panicked but Eden quickly calmed her down.“Don’t worry, Leo is fine. You should worry more about yourself right now, Karina. After all you’re the one getting injured.” He reminded her before helping her to lay back down. Karina sighed in relief knowing that she was okay, but at the same time, she was st

She gently patted the boy’s hair and soothed him.“It’s okay, Leo, it’s not your fault.” She reminded him.“But, but, if I never asked you to go to the park, you wouldn’t be injured like this right now. It’s all my fault! I’m so sorry, Karina, hwaaa…” He sobbed again and Karina gently tapped his shoulder and back to comfort him.“No, it’s okay to ask for things, Leo.
