"Have you informed your friends?" She tied her hair up in a ponytail and glanced at the mirror image with a mundane look. She was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and camouflage trousers. She had just gone through intensive army training but did not seem to breathe heavily. After she had come back three years, she was training without a break to maintain her muscle strength.  She still remembered how she lost in a spar with her father's apprentice when she returned. "You have got weak living there, daughter." Her father, retired Army Major Hunter Miller commented, folding his arms across his chest. "It appears you have forgotten your training." She wiped the sweat off her face with a small towel and stared at her father, "It was just a warm-up." After sometimes: "You lost yet again." He tsked, shaking his head in disappointment. "We'

"Do you like it, dear?"  "I do." Zaria gently nodded with a smile. Eventually, after a week's wait, she was seeing her own home. 'Bonheur Villa.' That was what she named it.  She hoped the start of her and Elian's life was as auspicious and propitious as this villa's name.  It was a Modern European style luxury villa that suited her taste. The large glass windows, huge lounge, clean and stylish kitchen, and beautiful backyard— it was all she dreamt of.  Honestly, the place itself and its decorations were all so pulchritudinous and perfect that she could not find any flaw.   Like how she wanted everything to be. Flawless. Indeed, her aunt knew of her likes and dislikes.  A table for the whole family was set and upon reaching there, a beautiful imagination came knocking on her he

"So, what are you going to do now?" Tyler's eyes flickered on the two people– Mason and then Jessica sitting right in front of him. He still remembered what happened two days ago. When he arrived at Mason's room, he saw what he should not have seen, and heard what should not have heard.  "Y-you b-both.." He tried to say something, his index finger shook with fear and disbelief. At that moment, only the scary face of Major Miller came to his mind.  "Yes," Mason, without an ounce of shame, grinned and pulled Jessica closer to him with his hands attached to her waist and eyes gazing deeply into hers, "we are, aren't we, my Queen?" Jessica wanted to rebuke him as she detached herself from his hold, but frowned when her mouth did not comply with her wishes, "..." Moreover, he had great strength.  "Come on, I didn't bite you that hard!" Mason w

"Elian?" Zaria knocked on the door, "Can I come in?""The door's open." His voice came and Zaria took the lead to enter the room.She smiled as she saw him moving aside the papers that were of no use.From a young age, Elian had invariably been a person full of discipline and morals. He did not like things that were messy or something which did not fit in a place. Zaria observed that this compartment truly had a touch of Elian. Everything seemed perfectly casual at a brief look, yet not ordinary.Upon coming closer, he finally came into her view.'Elian looks so handsome today!''Not that he isn't every day, but exceptionally so handsome this day.' Her eyes first set on his serious face and then went to his strong, bulging arm. His sleeves were rolled up, giving her a perfect dream to see for days to sleep at night. 'My husband. Ah, I'm so lucky!' She blushed. 'He only belongs to me.'"Did you need something?" Elian eventually raised his head, making her break out of her reverie. Ag

"Ria..." Nanny Mary looked at her, concerned.  "It's nothing. I should verify with mom and dad first." Zaria smiled lightly, though her heart heavy with uneasiness. "Child, how are you? Is something the matter?" Madam Anderson was surprised when she received a call from Zaria. Nevertheless, she was happy because she had heard the very good news yesterday. 'I can't wait to hold my grandchildren.' "Mom, ...I'm fine?" Zaria nervously clenched the cell phone in her hand, her voice filled with apprehension as well as her answer came out to be a rather question instead. Madam Anderson's glee expressions changed. "What happened, dear?? Why do you sound so anxious?"? Master Anderson, who had just come to sit with his wife, heard this and turned to his wife questionably wondering what had happened.  "Is Elian there with you...? He h
