Gabe didn’t know Mia could laugh like a lioness. She sounded a bit scary right now. “A-Are you satisfied now?” he asked.“Very much,” she appeared next to him. “Let’s go and see his defeated face now.”Soon, the dream world disappeared, and they came back to reality.Logan’s face looked like dried dough. He was clenching his sword very tightly, and he still didn’t want to accept the result.“H-How did it go, Elder Logan?” one of his men asked.{Keke, can’t you see his expression?} Ulf mocked them. {He looks like someone injected his own piss into his cheeks!}[He obviously lost.] Systa added. [And you guys are next.] She manipulated the ground so that all of those men were pulled into it, so that the lower half of their bodies would get completely stuck into the ground.They tried to use their heavenly energies to break free, but Systa warned them.[Your representative lost the bet.] Systa stated coldly. [So stay put. I will not repeat this again.]Even though she looked like a kid, t
“I can’t believe this…” Logan was sweeping the lawn because he was ordered to do so. He wasn’t allowed to use his powers or the vacuum pump, so he had to use the broom. “I, an elder of the Arris family, is collecting fallen leaves off the ground. I remember receiving training on counting the leaves in trees when I was young, but this is just degrading.”At the same time, he was looking at Gabe and Mia who were dealing with Kiera and Natasha now.Both Kiera and Natasha were made to lie down on the concrete ground.Straight away, Mia squinted her eyes. (Both of them have bigger boobs than me. I bet they’re using some fillers. How pathetic.)Gabe looked at her. “What are you thinking about?”“Uh, I just want to smack them,” Mia said. “Both of them hurt me in the past.”“Even Natasha?”“Yeah, she used to mock me in school, calling me four eyes,” Mia sighed. “Sometimes, she would get a better rank than me, and then she would annoy me even more. If not for her, my school life would have bee
“You think this is your place, Kiera?” Mia snorted. “Or should I call you Fakiera?”Kiera looked around and realized that this wasn’t her house or Natasha’s house. She then remembered that Natasha brought her here. “You said you’d take us home, so why did you bring me here?” she slapped Natasha's back.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Natasha blurted. “You’re the one who wanted to see Gabriel. That’s why I brought you here. So, why are you putting the blame on me now?”Kiera’s jaw dropped.“Why would you want to see ‘MY’ husband?” Mia asked coldly. “Why would you even want to talk with someone you dumped on the wedding day? You better give me a proper answer, or I will not let you go from here.”“Hmph, I’m not obliged to answer your question,” Kiera snorted. “Besides, there’s nothing wrong with me wanting to see Gabriel because I realized my mistakes.” She got up and stepped toward Gabe. “He bought a cheap 200 dollar ring on the wedding day, and I was not expecting that. I
As Kiera left, she blew a flying kiss toward Gabe and then showed her middle finger to Mia.Mia got angry and pulled Kiera and Natasha into a dream world without them even knowing it.Nothing changed in their perspective, but they kept driving down the pavement, and they were never able to reach the main gate.“What the…” Natasha frowned. “Where’s the exit gate?”“Is the wine still affecting you?” Kiera snorted. “Stop driving in circles and go straight.”“I’m going straight,” Natasha blurted. “Can’t you see?”Kiera, however, wasn’t in the mood to watch anything. She sat laid back and relaxed. “Just take me home. After seeing them together, I don’t feel well. I want to rest.”Natasha could understand what Kiera was going through as she had also experienced the same thing, though her case was different. She had rejected Russell’s proposal more than five years ago because he didn’t even have a job back then. But later on, Russell turned out to be the son of a trillionaire known as Regan
Both Natasha and Kiera lost consciousness after experiencing a terrible nightmare. Mia told Bertha and Carrie to drop them at their home.Bertha suggested that they keep Natasha and Kiera at the estate for the night, but Mia said, “I don’t trust Freddy or Bart. If they attack these women at night and rape them, who will take responsibility for that?”“I think that these two monsters might attack Freddy and Bart, though,” Gabe opined. “But you’re right. We can’t keep them here. They might wake up in the middle of the night and cause a scene, so take them away.”“But, how can we travel at this hour?” Carrie said. “It’s already past twelve. What if the police stop us?”After Mia and Gabe discussed it, they decided to lock both Natasha and Kiera in a guest room.Later, all of the family members gathered in the hall.Mia told everyone, “Those two women are very dangerous. Don’t believe anything they say. Tomorrow morning, we’ll have this man escort them home.” She pointed at Logan. “Until
“I will not touch you unless you ask for it,” Gabe said without hesitation.“Mm…” Mia paused for a moment before saying, “What if I never ask for it then?”“W-What?” Gabe’s heart trembled. “What do you mean by that?” Did she have some kind of a trauma? He wondered.Mia went into the room. He followed her inside.“You loved Kiera in the past, didn’t you?” Mia sat down and looked up at him. “And you love me now, right? Which one do you love more, and why?”(Is she feeling jealous and anxious that Kiera is in the same building now?) Gabe thought. “You don’t even have to ask that question, Mia. Even when I was loving Kiera, you’ve always had a special place in my heart.”Mia’s heart fluttered upon hearing that. She was expecting him to give some random explanation or excuse, but his answer felt rather genuine, and it touched her heart. Still, she said, “Just that? No explanation or anything?”“What’s there to explain?” Gabe calmly said. “There are things that Kiera does, which I don’t lik
After Mia slept, Gabe woke up and looked at her.“How can you be so beautiful, Mia?” he asked her in a low voice. “You look cuter when you’re sleeping.”She was at a touching distance. He wanted to run his fingers down her face and feel her cheeks, but having already given his promise, he had to refrain himself from acting on his romance-driven thoughts.[The nanobots in you are starting to go crazy…] Systa’s voice rang in his mind. [Do you feel that?]“No. I can’t feel them as well as you can…” Gabe replied. “What are they doing now?”[They are trying to attack your cells and are corrupting your blood.]“My cells? For what?”[It seems they are capable of changing your DNA. If we don’t do anything, in a few days, they’ll turn you into some hybrid. And you won’t be a human anymore.]“W-What?” Gabe’s heart shook at once. “Then what are you doing? Destroy them. Didn’t you say you would do that after we realize what they’re up to?”[You might still look human, though.] Systa teased him. [
The next dawn.Gabe woke up and was very surprised to see that Mia had an arm across his chest, and her face was very close to him. He could smell her, and she smelled quite pleasant like a freshly bloomed flower. Her sweet fragrance filled his lungs and stirred his sleepy soul.He didn’t move an inch, not wanting to wake her up. He didn’t want this moment to end so soon.Even though he wasn’t moving, his heart gained wings and was flying away to different dimensions.Where was his heart going now? He had no clue, but he didn’t care.The joy of sleeping next to another person in bed… He hadn’t experienced this before, and it was so lovely and rich beyond any experience he ever had. This was probably the loveliest morning he had in his entire life.He felt like his eyes existed just for this moment, to see her from up close and to take in her beauty.Her hair was loose, silky, and shining. He felt like touching it and kissing it. Would that mean he broke his promise? Technically, he wa
