"Hmmm."
I was busy studying myself in front of a large mirror inside my walk-in closet. Both of my hands are holding two white sundresses; one has ruffled laces on the chest with baby pink rose patches, and the other is a pleated tulle maxi dress exposing my bare chest. I'll be choosing the latter.
After I slipped on the dress, I put sunscreen and a light tap of powder on my face. I did not bother to put lipstick on my lips since they are naturally moist and pinkish. This time, I had to choose what footwear would best suit my dress. I don't know if I was this picky in my past life—oh God! It was as if I had reincarnated into another body. Or when I die, my spirit transfers to another person! What if that happens to one-eighth of the population on Earth?
Jeez, now what? I have these absurd, crazy fantasy ideas again. Maybe I should read fewer fantasy books

Twisted Encounter Chapter 18
"Good boy! Fetch!"Ares was standing beside the fountain as his eyes seriously followed every woman's movement wearing a matcha color sundress that matches the color of freshly trimmed grass and flat gladiator sandals with gold laces ties. The soft bristle of the wind was brushing her long ponytailed hair, curled in the ends, and sometimes, it went to her face when she playfully ran and turned her body modesty while chasing the lion and the dog.It was late in the afternoon—almost five, and the sun was about to rest on the west and is now giving soft orange light like the colors are bidding goodbye to the Earth as it is about to sleep. The crescent moon is already up at the far right facing North, bestowing its eyes to the woman whose laughter was blissfully influencing the air with her light energy.To be honest, the estate had always been tranquil for the pasts years. The silence was extravagant, and people working here changed monthly, excep

"Its value in the market will increase even more, Ares. Stellar is already very different from Encanto. What if they make an offer that we can't refuse?"One by one, Ares shot the ten people in front of him now with a cold stare. It has the largest market sales under Encanto Diamonds. It is one of the vital companies under the Grant Organization. It is a Mining and Jewelry company, and Encanto aphrodisiac is an underground business."What offer can they give in exchange for your life in my hands?" He answered coldly.Consecutive squeaks could be heard in the formerly quiet room. There was a trace of fear on its face as its tails parted."What if our families are in danger?""Are you so powerless to do that?"Liam responded to the conversation, sitting and cleaning his revolver gun on Ares' right side. It is not looking at the person who asked, but the trace o

Ares stared blankly at the photo in his hands, trying to reminisce a memory of her. She had long wavy chestnut hair at waist length. Her deep gray eyes and sharp features complimented together. On her right arm, she was carrying a young boy with a genuine wide smile plastered on his face as his arms were embracing around the woman's neck. The photo was cropped in half, and until now, it is still bugging his mind why would his mother rip this into two, and the other half was missing. With a deep sigh, he returned the album's photo and proceeded to the next page. The album belonged to his mother, safely kept in his vault where he placed all the things she treasured the most.His brows drew closer together when the next photo caught his attention. It was a photo of a young girl. She is wearing a fury winter jacket, holding a snowball looking on the other side like she was about to throw the itinto someone. She smiled ear to ear. Even her eyes were glistening

"Did they notify the authorities?""They haven't arrived yet, but I'm sure they will in an hour. The press is on its way. We must arrive before they do." While his gaze was fixed on the road, Liam responded.They're tearing down the West Coast roadway toward the Capitol. The road was fogged in, and the only light guiding them came from the car's headlight. Liam collided with a deer not long ago, but they didn't have time to stop the vehicle.Ares received a phone call informing him that one of the attendees at yesterday's conference was assassinated inside his library by an unknown assailant.After almost an hour of traveling, they arrive at the front yard of the Capitol's grandest residence.It is situated on the southernmost hill of the city's most exclusive suburb, where its affluent families reside.Ares and Liam exited the vehicle and walked directly through the gates
Twisted Encounter Chapter 22
It seems like two days passed quickly before Ares last spoke to the girl. Nevertheless, he also receives updates from William every day even though he doesn't need them. It's as if Willam sent them intentionally; sometimes, hesend a photo or video of the girl.There were photographs of Lunain a corner who seemed sad, alone, and lethargic. He didn't even know how she felt at this moment. But there was some part of his mind that worriedabout the girl. Even if he shouldn't feel it, he shouldn't care about it.A few hours after his return to the estate, he has yet to glimpse the girl's silhouette. He didn't expect to see her. He was just interested in finding out how the girl was doing.He took a deep breath as he approached the door to her room and then decided to knock. However, before he could touch the door, a maid arrived to clean Luna's room before."She has already left her room,

Luna fixed her gaze on the big wall clock's hand, which constantly spun in a circle. What's taking so long for them to arrive? It's been an hour since Luna got a message from Ares informing her that they'll be having dinner with his cousins, and she's been anxiously waiting for them on the porch. The day passed like a blink of an eye, Chiara will arrive today, and the boys are out there to pick her up. Actually, she's a little wary about the lady coming in less than a minute.She clasped her hands together as she walked back and forth, attempting to lessen the uneasiness she felt within. She's doing well with the guys, but what about Chiara? What could possibly go wrong after learning about Chiara's background? William fancies her inside the mansion, but her daughter might be different.A loud honk from the luxury cars approaching the estate's metal gate took her attention away from her thoughts. Luna froze on her toes as she saw roughly twe

"Ares, I'd want to sit next to Luna! You've got your own seat!"Chiara was pouting in front of Ares, stomping her feet and pointing to the empty sofa directly in front of the guy. She was enraged. Her brows were squabbling.They agreed to take two private aircraft to Monaco Island, but Ares canceled the one for Chiara and Luna at the last minute. He claims that traveling in a group on a private plane is significantly safer.Chiara wishes to sit next to Luna, but the instant they enter the aircraft, Ares pushes his cousin to the other side and takes the seat next to the lady, who is now in shock.Luna couldn't help giggling. Her lips widened as she tried not to bust out laughing at how the two were behaving in front of her. She sat comfortably close to the window while Ares sat next to her with his legs crossed, pretending not to hear his cousin's rants."Yah! Ares, change seats, or a bullet will pass through your brain
Twisted Encounter Chapter 25
Luna shifted her weight from one side of the bed to the other. Her mood has been tense since they landed on the island. She got a feeling he had never been here before, and she wondered if he had. But did she really not? But if she had already been here, what would she does on this private island?Luna was irritated, so she messed up her hair and stood up. They are staying in a large villa, everyone with their own room. Chiara stands next to her door while Ares stands across from her.She wondered if Ares was still awake. She carefully rose from her bed and walked to the glass door on the terrace, which overlooked the peaceful beach. While her gaze was focused on the void, one of her hands caressed the bracelet Ares had given her.She cracked a grin. It seems basic, yet it looks and feels quite exquisite on her wrist. She couldn't picture Ares giving her anything like this, even if there wasn't a reason.Luna decided to pay Ares a
