Verania's Point of View"Because we're like magnets. I'm positive, and you're negative, so we're bound to stick together. Just kidding!" I said with a laugh, and from the center of my vision, I noticed his grin.When I had my fill of teasing Ares, I stopped and leaned back in my seat, waiting for us to arrive at the venue that Tita Charlotte had specially arranged.I wonder where the venue is.When the car came to a stop, I stepped out alone and turned to the car door where Ares would exit. How ironic, right? This might be the only date where the woman helps the man. Of course, there's a reason for it.As I looked around while waiting for Ares to come out, my jaw almost dropped.We were by the seaside, and there was a yacht that seemed to be waiting for us. Don't tell me that's the venue Tita Charlotte was talking about?When the door opened and Ares stepped out, I quickly became alert and swiftly assisted him as he got out of the car."I'm good now," he said quickly as my hand touche

Verania's Point of View "Sure thing, how about you? How's the barracks?" I shot back, curious."Doing fine, but word's out that many of our colleagues already miss having you around," Gab chuckled, revealing."They even spilled about the ones you kept an eye on during their training. Seems like someone's even thinking of trying their luck with you there," Gab quipped in, smirking, which earned a small grin from me."So, spill the beans, how's Alder holding up?" Gab asked with a cheeky grin, making me scratch my neck. Glancing at the rearview mirror, I caught a glimpse of Ares' face scrunching up upon hearing Gabriella's question."Huh? Why are you grilling me about Alder?" I questioned, avoiding Gab's gaze. But even though I looked away, I could sense Gab's sly smile fixed on me."Oh, come on, don't tell me there haven't been some late-night heart-to-heart sessions," Gab teased, her playful tone persistent. I turned to her and let out a laugh."No way!" I countered, still chuckling.

Verania’s Point of View Anyway, I won't lie, in my unbiased opinion, I can confidently say that Ares is the most handsome among the four male cousins. But when you factor in personality, that's a whole different story. Yes, Ares is good-looking, but not to me. If only you knew, this guy often directs his annoyance at me. Sometimes, it's even surprising how he manages to get angry with me when I haven't done anything to provoke it.But when it comes to the most attractive among the male cousins, I'd say it's Primo, Archer's younger brother who, if I'm not mistaken, is currently in America.Ares and Archer carry a serious demeanor, but Archer can be quite intimidating. He should have been the most attractive to me, but it's his aura that I can't quite warm up to. Archer is undeniably handsome, actually, all of them are, but... when it comes to Archer, I'd say if you're a girl who's quick to fall, a few gestures from Archer and you're a goner. I can see that Archer is gentle, but he's a

Verania’s Point of View "Come on, Ares," I urged him, and he obediently followed."Why do you need to hold my hand?" Ares inquired, a serious yet curious look in his eyes as we reached the entrance."I can't let you walk alone; it's better if we stay together," I responded. He didn't press the issue and remained silent.Once inside the mall, we quickly looked for a place to have lunch."Fast food?" he suggested."Go ahead; it's fine with me," I consented, and he entered a fast-food restaurant.We placed our orders and waited at a table. While waiting, I turned my attention back to Ares."Earlier..." he began, his serious eyes fixed on mine."I saw you looking so irritated with that cashier. What led you to do that?" he inquired, his curiosity evident as he raised an eyebrow."Nothing, I just felt like annoying her," I confessed, quickly averting my gaze from Ares. I sighed inwardly; he had a keen sense of observation, and it was challenging to keep things from him."Why would I belie

Gabriella's Point of ViewI winced when we arrived at Mayor Stanley's house and saw that Ares had a gash on his neck.He said he got cut, probably from a knife held to his neck, so I did my best to tend to it, even though I wasn't entirely sure if I was doing it right."I hope First Lieutenant arrives soon to treat this," I commented while applying a bandage to his neck wound."Does she always act like that?" Ares suddenly asked, making my eyes immediately focus on him.What is he talking about?"Huh? Always like what?" I asked with genuine confusion."The way Vera acted earlier. Does she always do that?" he repeated, and I had to pause."Huh! What do you mean, 'always like that'?" I asked, genuinely puzzled."No, I wasn't talking about that. I'm not scared; I know she won't do that to me. But, is she really like that when she's extremely angry?" he asked again, causing me to stop and stare at the sky to give a thoughtful response."Hmm..." I pondered.I tried to recall if there had b
