Russell came home in the evening. It had been three days since he last saw Kyra, so he went into the bedroom.To his surprise, Kyra wasn’t alone. There were almost a dozen female friends that had completely filled the room. For a second, he felt overwhelmed. “Sorry,” he said and was leaving.“Russell, where are you going?” Kyra called him. “Come here, let me introduce you to my friends.”“I remember some of them,” Russell said, smiling slightly. “They came to your grandmother’s wedding, I mean, birthday.”Some of them chuckled at his mistake.Russell felt more than a little awkward because twenty four foreign eyes were staring at him with different intentions.Kyra introduced them one by one. All of them gave him proper handshakes. Some asked him why he wasn’t wearing any jewelry except the wedding ring and also told him that Kyra also didn’t wear jewelry, so they were made for each other.Russell then said, “Kyra is stunning as she is. What’s the need for jewelry?”“You’re right.” So

Russell grabbed the tree trunk and shook it.“Wait, wait,” Kyra was saying in a hurry, but then the guavas fell all around her. One of the guavas even crashed on her head, making her hiss in pain. “Aw!”“I’m sorry!” Russell hurried over and started blowing air on top of her head, which suddenly took Kyra to her school days when some of her friends used to do that. His gesture made her forget the pain. She wanted him to keep doing that. After half-minute, he stopped blowing air and gently kissed her on that spot. It felt like his lips sucked some of the pain away. “Is it still hurting?”“It’s still lingering,” she said.He kissed her again. “Now?”She smiled. “It’s gone.” To thank his efforts, she planted a kiss on his hands with which he had shaken the tree. “Your hands look soft from afar, but they are rough.”“I’ve gone through a hellish training in the Agnar clan’s grounds,” Russell replied. “I think I can fight a bear now.”Kyra chuckled. “You surely jest.” she pinched his cheek.

James started coming to school after two months. None of his friends knew about him attempting suicide because it was kept secret, so they showered him with all sorts of questions. James didn’t even stay at home in the past two months but was taken to a trip outside, so it was easy for him to tell others that he was visiting the foreign countries these past two months. He even showed them pictures for proof.To his good or bad luck, Amelie didn’t come to school, but her classmates still kept talking about her.One of the friends told James about her, “You wouldn’t believe it. My cousin just happened to take me to a bachelor’s party, and there she was. Amelie along with a few pretty girls. They were picking guys off for the night. Nobody picked me, unfortunately, but my cousin said he had the greatest experience that night, and that those drunken girls were insatiable. I’m going to go to the next party and get a girl for myself and lose my virginity no matter what. Do you also want to

Gage helped Regan get back into his car and then gave him tablets and water. He also opened the car window so that Regan could breathe better.Regan was no longer crying, but his fists were clenched.“I can’t believe she’s so heartless that she wouldn’t give you a second chance,” Gage blurted in anger. “How could she act like this toward her own dad? Say whatever you want, Boss, but you shouldn’t beg her again. You’ve already done it three times now. Please don’t do it again. If I tell my dad that I let you cry on the street, he’ll kick me in the face and spit on me.”Regan began to rethink where it all started going wrong between him and his daughter. There were many times when he pissed her off, but probably, the worst of them all was when he told her he’d find her a partner he deemed worthy after getting the guy she was dating beaten by his bodyguards.“Even after all these years, she still kept all those things in her heart?” he squeezed his forehead with his fists.Meanwhile, Elo

Russell woke up in the evening to the bad news that James went missing. It was Kyra who told him. She had received a call from Viola because Russell’s mobile was switched off.Kyra ordered William to find James, but that didn’t stop Russell from looking for his brother.He went to Amelie’s house first. Arnold was already quarreling with her parents outside their home. It was very ugly to watch. Russell didn’t intervene and just left. He went to Roddick’s villa, but nobody was present there, and the guard told him that Roddick had left the city about fifty days ago and hadn't returned yet.If neither Roddick nor Amelie were responsible, then Russell believed that James might have left on his own.“What the hell is he thinking? Even after months passed, he’s not able to forget her?” Russell could only shake his head. For some reason, James’ actions made him remember Jessica’s words that she would never be able to marry another man because her heart was full of love for Russell. It made
