Gala remained faithfully seated beside Cathleen, who still hadn't opened her eyes. All the monitors overseeing her life force still looked weak. The constant beeping from the machine had become a distinctive sound that accompanied Gala throughout the week. Only occasionally did he move away from Cathleen, where the four of them took turns watching over her.The girl's condition slowly began to improve. Her body was no longer too pale, and the skin no longer showed bones wrapped in flesh. Although it couldn't be confirmed how long it would take for her to open her eyes, at least there was a better hope, right? That's the only thing they could affirm together to continue nurturing hope for the girl to open her eyes again. To be back with them."Have you finished your lunch, dear?" Gala turned to the figure who had just entered the room where Cathleen was being treated. The room was as spacious as when his father was lying there before finally regaining consciousness. The figure smiled w

"Why do you speak as if Cathleen is already very skilled in the kitchen, and you know exactly that?""During Mom's search, from the moment I met her, sharing many stories about Dad and the actual condition of the Metro world, she was the one who accompanied me, Mom. Taking care of me too. She's good at cooking and knows my favorites; grilled chicken.""Don't tell me her cooking is much tastier than Mom's?"Gala shook his head quickly. He wouldn't have the heart to hurt his mother's feelings even for this trivial matter. "No-no. Not like that. Mom's cooking is the most delicious no matter how much time I spend waiting for her to open her eyes."Bellamie was indeed teasing Gala, whose face suddenly panicked."I don't care how much time I spend waiting for her to open her eyes, Mom."Bellamie nodded."Cathleen will surely open her eyes, right, Mom?"Xavier eyed the guests who came to visit this time with a sharp gaze. It's not just one or two people who met him in downtown West Metro. Th

Bellamie stared at the back that hadn't moved from its position. The night in West Metro was actually very beautiful. A large window made of glass showcased most of the outside view. Bellamie could open it with a single automatic button located to the right of the window. But she didn't do it because the blowing wind was quite strong. They were actually ready to sleep, but it seemed something was bothering Xavier. Her husband pulled back the blanket and sat, staring at the large window. Perhaps, Bellamie thought, he assumed she was deeply asleep, allowing him to momentarily leave her who was still comfortably covered with the blanket.In fact, since Xavier returned from the city center, they had been talking casually. Gala, who had started to show less worry, also joined in, though he wouldn't move from Cathleen's side. Bellamie understood her son's feelings and actions very well. Although Seth had advised and warned Gala to at least rest, it seemed the young man chose to ignore it. B

The gentle movement on Bellamie's lips was immediately responded to with an equally gentle response. The hand that was originally in Xavier's grasp was placed back around her husband's neck. What she felt again was when the fairly large palm greeted Bellamie's waist, only covered in thin sleepwear. He lifted Bellamie's body slowly until she was truly on Xavier's lap. Still with lips pressed against each other."I never questioned what you look like now, Rose," Xavier said right above the surface of his wife's moist lips. He momentarily stopped his play on those tempting lips. "To me, you're still Bellamie Rosaline, whom I loved since the first time we met."A sense of emotion infiltrated Bellamie's heart. Warm and truly made Bellamie look at Xavier even more closely."Do you still remember our first meeting?""I will never forget, Xavier."Bellamie never forgot that day. The day when the South Metro was greeted with a winter that made Bellamie tighten her scarf. Her eyes wandered to m

Ever since Xavier first saw Bellamie in that alley, he knew he was smitten. His bright light brown eyes were always full of enthusiasm and high optimism. From the height of the buildings surrounding Bellamie's destination, he had been watching her. Even if the dark brown-scarfed girl was smart enough to read the situation, she wouldn't have stepped into that deserted alley that could put her in danger. Yet, those eyes once again disturbed Xavier, where there was a high spirit accompanied by a smile, indicating that she had many hopes.Xavier's eyes betrayed him, even though he didn't need to care, right? His body followed Bellamie from a distance. Out of the many women he had encountered over the hundreds of years, why was he drawn to this woman as if pulled by a magnetic field? Even if examined closely, her face wasn't overly beautiful, and her body could be said to have the typical South Metro woman's posture.True to Xavier's suspicions, a crime occurred in that alley. Seeing that

"I'd prefer it more if I were inside you, Rose."Bellamie giggles. Her eyes glance mischievously at Xavier, who looks a little annoyed because of her movement. "I never stopped you from being inside me, right?"Those words are like magic affirmations for Xavier to rise immediately. Carrying Bellamie's body, which is already like a kangaroo clinging to him. They cuddle intimately with accompanying small shouts when Xavier slightly throws her onto the soft bed they have been using for the past few days. Their bodies are still attached to each other. Bellamie can see her chest rising and falling because she holds back many things that are spinning in her head. Also... the beat that craves to be touched more, which Bellamie knows, she will definitely feel and be amazed under the control of Dimitry Darrel Xavier, who is her husband."You're beautiful. Have you heard my praise today?""Not yet. And you just said it."Xavier chuckles. "You're always beautiful in my eyes, Rose. Very beautiful

Nothing Maverick likes more than these recent days. He still enjoys being alone, observing from the height how South Metro is starting to come alive again. While puffing smoke from his cigar and occasionally disturbed by Russel's quite demanding reports, Maverick genuinely likes it. Not without reason, he feels like finding a new spirit to make South Metro more advanced. In any aspect. Even if it can compete with someone like Alexander Millian.The smoke he exhales from his cigar has filled the room again. It's been several minutes where he hasn't done anything except stare at the beautiful scenery from his current position. The recent reports from Russel also show many things that make Maverick smile broadly. Until..."Is this your only activity, Mave?" The door to his room opens wide, and the intruder enters as if he owns the place. Walking without feeling guilty at all. His white robe follows the constant movement of his walking feet."Don't you have anything else to do besides bot

"I don't think so." Maverick tries to remember. "Most of the questions are like a quiz. Tricky and disgusting. Clearly, I don't want to replace Gideon. Seriously," Maverick adds later. "I've said many times that Xavier is the one who deserves to be in power. If he can't persuade Xavier to be there, why should I be bothered? Can I persuade a man who is just as annoying as his son?"Maverick's string of words becomes its own entertainment for Alex. Where they both end up laughing together, laughing at what happened in the past few days, where they almost experienced the same thing."But I'm sure, if Xavier is not a person who wants to be in the highest power." Maverick gives his view. "You know that clearly, right? He's a true fighter. His duty is to protect, even though the capacity to be a leader is unquestionable. Although, there is more to Xavier for that position.""I agree with you on this, and that's my goal coming here. Asking if Erick asked anything about the Haidar Galaxy?"Ma
