Zaria's eyes squinted at the strong light above her. Before she could assimilate to the light, Elian's head blocked it. Elian, who had come downstairs to drink water, frowned when he saw the entrance gate open. Before he could see properly, it all went dark. Who knew the person he had caught under him was the person he had run away from? "How are you here?" Elian inquired, forgetting everything around. Zaria blinked. Inside her mind, she was: 'Control!''Control!' 'Do not-''You aren't a beast, Ria.'To say she was thrilled, would be an understatement. The pinning scene in which the Male lead and Female lead..."Erm...I," Zaria glanced at his arm that was trapping her from one side, from the corner of her eyes and bit her lips. Elian followed the trail of Zaria's eyes and backed away slowly. "Sorry." "Cough." Zaria looked down at her hands, now sitting on the couch. "Sorry, too." "How long have you been living here?" "Not long. Just... a few days."She stared at Elian who w

Mason blinked."Where is this voice coming from?" The soldiers started to look around, suspicious thinking that an enemy had invaded their place. "It's my backpack." Mason casually commented, seemingly turning normal in front of others but only he knew how he wanted to push Kade away from his Jess. "Really?" Curious, the soldiers who called him coward some moments ago, were now surrounding him with wide eyes. "Yep." Mason was all smug as he glanced at Kade from the corner of his eyes. So it was what they called, 'when the tables get turned?' "It tells exactly what is wrong with the body the little device is supporting and tells what majors should be taken to accommodate to the situation present. This is just a prototype though. I'm still working on its improvement."'Ha, can he rival me in brains?'What Mason was looking for, was something he could not find in Kade. All his smugness turned to disappointment. Where was the negativity he was seeking!Kade had no jealousy, no feelin

"You have misunderstood," Zaria said as she tried to escape from the uncomfortable grasp."Don't try to act innocent! I have caught you red-handed and now you say I'm misunderstanding?" Sasha was not letting go.She had got the opportunity to get Ria out of this place. How could she let it go?"I'm not going to say it again. Let go." Sasha was appalled when she felt the overbearing pressure from Zaria's gaze and words. Once again Sasha felt an inferiority complex hitting her.Gritting her teeth, she yanked Ria's hands with force and pulled Ria with her. Unbeknownst to both of them, something fell from the wardrobe but none of them paid attention to it."Where is everyone!""Why are you shouting, Miss Sasha? Others are gone already, so why are you still here?" Sebastian was massaging his temple. Hearing the high-pitched tone gave him a headache."Why–" Sebastian halted as he saw the two girls together. As soon as his eyes went to Sasha's hand which was gripping Ria's, he frowned."–Are

"You know about it?" Mason asked after a short pause."Of course, I know." Mason felt someone at his back. He looked from the corner of his eyes and found that it was his father-in-law who was eyeing him. It appeared that he wanted to hear as well."Aren't you here for the wedding?" Kayden suddenly laughed and the atmosphere became normal again.'Fool, he doesn't know that I'm here to snatch his bride from him. I knew it. He doesn't have the brains.' Mason internally snorted."Yes, it is just like what you think." Mason smiled without changing his carefree face. "I'm here for the wedding and I'll not leave without attending it." Both men had a staring contest and Kayden was the first one to break it."Sure. You're our guest, so probably we can't let you go." Kayden patted his back in a friendly manner.Mason let out a smileJessica clenched her fists. Her face was void of emotion, but her heart was racing.This place was her father's territory. If her father– No, if something happened

"I pity him. Now that Kade is here, I wonder what will become of him.""Sigh, indeed. Such a miserable guy.""What happened?" Walking, Jessica glanced at the two soldiers indifferently."Young Miss! I-It's nothing! We were talking nonsense.""Yes, yes, whatever happened to Mr Waters has got nothing to do with us."Jessica froze. What happened to Mason?The other soldier glared at his friend as if saying, 'Why did you say that!'"Where's he?""We... We don't know. Please, e-excuse us."The young soldiers lowered their heads. They were friends of Parker who had now become a part of Tyler's plan.Their sole purpose to be a part was: To unite the poor lovers.When they were out of Jessica's sight, Parker's friend turned to his partner; whispering, "You think this will work?""It happens in the book, though." The other guy shrugged. They could only hope for their mission to be successful.Jessica Miller had an uncomfortable, itchy feeling. Maybe, she should not have said that to him.2 hou
