Nathan's pov,“What was with that commotion, Rodriguez? Can't you see that it's night? Who were you busy shouting and raising your voice at?”. My mother asked my father, but instead of replying to her, my father glared at me, since he was facing my direction. My mother naturally noticed that my father's gaze was fixed elsewhere, so she traced the source and turned around, thus seeing me.I saw the way her eyes widened in disbelief, displaying how surprised she was to see me. I have not visited the villa for a month. Besides, she had no idea that I was coming to the villa after all. “Nathan?”. My name escaped from her lips, before the frown on her face disappeared, and she smiled at me. She approached me and stood in front of me. “I didn't know that you were visiting today. Why didn't you inform me? I would have asked the chefs to prepare you your favorite dishes”. She said to me. “I had to come because my father wanted to see me. Most especially, I came here today because I wanted

The next day,Adira's pov, I woke up very early today because I couldn't sleep that much. I was impatient and kept on thinking about the person who wanted to buy my wristwatch. At 1am in the morning, I woke up and began to talk to myself. Asking what the person wanted to use the wristwatch for. So stupid of me to ask myself such a question.Then, at 3am, I woke up again and began to wonder. What if the person who wanted to buy my wristwatch was going to join the jewelry contest too? Would I not automatically be putting myself in a disadvantageous position?I went back to sleep after that, but woke up by 5am. And this time, I began to imagine if it was a woman who wanted to buy my wristwatch. The wristwatch was a man's wristwatch, so what did a woman want it for? To give it to her husband? Her boyfriend? Her friend? Her brother? Or her son?After thinking about this, I wasn't able to sleep anymore. So, instead of remaining lying on the bed and staring at the plain white ceiling

By the way, Joseph was in 7th grade. “If it would make you feel better, Joseph, I made pancakes today. Aren't pancakes your favorite? Or did I recall wrongly?”. I asked him with a raised brow. “No, you remembered correctly, cousin Adira!”. He exclaimed, and his eyes had brightened. “Well, what are you waiting for? They are waiting for you in the dining room. I heard that if you eat what makes you happy, then studying your math wouldn't be a big deal”. I said to him. Hearing my words, Joseph's brows furrowed, displaying his disbelief in my words. “Really?”. He asked me with a pure hint of doubt in his voice. He may have ranked 15th during his previous exam results, but that didn't change the fact that he was a smart kid. The only problem is that he plays too many video games and doesn't always have enough time to study his books. “Of course. Or don't you believe me? Do you think I am a liar?”. I asked him, and he immediately shook his head at me. “I will head downstairs then, c

After hearing the deep voice that spoke to me, I instantly lifted my head and stared at the owner of the voice, only for the owner of the voice to turn out to be the same man who had just entered Slizzy's coffee store and was looking around the store. Now that he was close to me, his blonde hair that was styled back, came into view. So he was the Sniper person? There was another chair positioned at my table, so he didn't hesitate and sat there. “Are you going to keep on staring at me, Miss? Aren't we here for business? Or are you having fun flirting with me right now in the middle of a business transaction?”. “Huh?”. My brows furrowed. It was thanks to the serious look on his face that I thought he was an intimidating person, despite the innocent appearance he possessed. But seeing how he could not stop smiling at me and staring into my eyes with his pair of flirtatious green eyes, I felt uncomfortable with that and could not wait to get the heck out of this coffee

I stopped thinking about the three figures, Adira, Jordan and Jordan's little brother, before my mind began to think about the important person I came to this city to meet. He was a strange person, and I can't seem to figure him out. I had requested Jordan's little brother to investigate his background for me, but his background was clean. I refused to believe it. That was why I didn't disconnect myself from him after I did business with him for the first and second time. It was a coincidence that he and I connected with each other on my social media account, which I rarely make use of. However, I believe that it wasn't a coincidence. I believed that it was planned. I vividly remembered how it happened. I was in Cindaly city, the same city where I was serving as a soldier. After I retired, and after Joanne broke up with me, I shut myself away from the world and stayed indoors in my penthouse almost all the time. Then one day, I received a message on my social media account, and th
