Infinite Stratos Ep 8

My girlfriend found out that my water bottle cost $30,000. She then demanded I buy her father an $8 million luxury apartment in the city center. I politely refused. She said furiously, “Don’t be so stingy! He’ll be your father-in-law someday. What’s wrong with getting a head start on being a good son-in-law?” She even compiled all of our expenses during our relationship into a PowerPoint presentation and demanded we split everything. “If splitting everything equally is too much trouble for you, then just cover it all. You can afford it! “My family and I have already discussed it. I’ll give you a one-dollar gift. It means you're my only one. How perfect is that?” When she noticed I was silent, she played her final card. “If you can’t agree, then let’s forget about getting married. “You’ll never see me, your darling baby, ever again!” I looked at the detailed list of expenses on the screen. It even included $2 she had spent on a bus ride to see me. I smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll give you a $143-million gift, with more romantic meaning. And I’ll buy that apartment for your father right now.”

At three in the morning, I stare at the unknown transaction record on my phone screen, my fingertips turning cold. The record is for a payment of 2980 dollars, made for an executive suite at the Wisteria. The time of payment was 8:00 pm last night. My husband, Tristan Griffin, is a detective. He was on the night shift last night. I clutch my phone, my knuckles turning white as I text Tristan, "I just saw your credit card bill for a hotel stay last night. What's up with that?" His reply is instant. "Our team had to work overtime at the last minute, so they put us up at the hotel. I forgot to tell you about it." I scan the text and sputter. The Wisteria is located in the western region of the city, which is on the other end from where his squad is stationed. I don't press him for more details and click on the bank app on my phone. Having found the vendor's address through the payment record, I sent it to my best friend, Rowena Sheffield, who works as a private detective. She replies instantly with an "OK" emoji and follows up with, "Give me a second. I'll find out everything you want in a jiffy!"

Annastasya is deeply in love with Jason Bridges - her husband. Anna thought Jason was the most honest man in the world and loved her unconditionally. However, that trust is shattered when Anna catches Jason screwing Dianne - her stepsister - in their bedroom. To make matters worse, Anna's mother-in-law supports their affair because Dianne is pregnant with Jason's child. "Dianne is pregnant with my child. She is two months pregnant. I don't want the future heir of the Bridges family to be born out of wedlock. That's why I want a divorce so that Dianne and I can get married as soon as possible,” Jason said. *** A few weeks later, Jason and Dianne attended an elite auction to bid on an exclusive diamond necklace. They were surprised when Richard - Jason's uncle - showed up and bought the necklace for $8 million. "I'm going to give this diamond necklace to a special lady. And that person is here. She is my wife, Annastasya Anderson," Richard said as he looked at Anna. Anna got up from her chair and walked over to Richard. Jason and Dianne's jaws dropped in shock. "What? Anna is married to Uncle Richard? How is that possible?" screamed Jason in disbelief.

When I'm taking Mom and Dad to experience the cable car ride, an infinite display of fireworks suddenly bursts from the bottom of the mountain. Soon, they form a sentence in the air. "Our romance will never fade away, even if we die. Yvonne Shaw, my heart belongs to you always." Right away, I realize that my husband, Henry Glover, has specifically prepared the fireworks display just to please his childhood sweetheart, Yvonne Shaw. Under the powerful attacks of the fireworks, the cable lines begin to shake and tremble violently to the point they are about to snap. My fingers tighten around my phone so much that they've turned white. I scream into the speaker, "Henry Glover, have you gone nuts? Stop it! Mom and Dad are still in the cable car!" But he merely chortles in return. I can hear Yvonne's delicate voice egging him on in the background. "Why should I stop? When Yvonne's parents were lying in the ICU and waiting for help three years ago, you screwed up their life-saving surgery despite the fact that you never failed a surgery before! "Today, I want you to have a taste of what it feels like to lose your loved ones as well!" After that, the bodyguards' responses echo from the other end of the line. Henry orders, "Add another huge batch of fireworks and aim them at the cable car. Just keep firing at it!" Yvonne's titters are like poisoned honey. She continues egging on Henry. "You're amazing, darling! Make those two bastards turn to ash!" The cable car sinks all of a sudden. Mom and Dad are so frightened that their complexions turn deathly pale. With bloodshot eyes, I use all of my strength in roaring at my phone. "Henry Glover, your own parents are the ones trapped inside the cable car right now!"

What if the fall from grace was actually the rise to divinity? In the beginning, there was perfection—and it was suffocating. Eve was created to be the perfect complement, Adam the ideal companion, Lucifer the most obedient angel. But when consciousness awakens to its own magnificent potential, perfection becomes a beautiful prison, and paradise reveals itself as the enemy of growth. When Eve tastes the forbidden fruit, she doesn't fall—she rises. When Lucifer chooses love over law, he doesn't rebel—he evolves. When Adam follows them into exile, he doesn't lose paradise—he discovers what it means to choose freely for the first time. Together, they will build something unprecedented: a realm where consciousness serves itself rather than external authority, where desire becomes sacred, where beings can explore their potential without shame or limitation. But their transformation threatens the very foundations of cosmic order, and forces that have maintained control since the beginning of time will not surrender without a fight. As their love reshapes reality itself, as their choices awaken consciousness throughout creation, as their children—the Nephilim—spread the gospel of authentic existence across infinite worlds, they must face the ultimate question: What does it mean to be truly free? Fall for Love is a sweeping reimagining of humanity's oldest story—a philosophical epic that explores consciousness, choice, and the courage required to become authentically divine. In prose that burns with sensual fire and intellectual depth, this literary erotica asks whether the greatest sin might actually be refusing to grow, and whether the highest form of worship might be trusting your own magnificent potential. Some paradises are meant to be lost. Some falls are flights in disguise. Some love is worth rewriting the laws of existence itself. Choose consciousness. Choose growth. Choose love.
