“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
Mia woke up and did not find Gabe in the bed. A second later, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly left the room and looked down from the first floor.Ulf was still talking with Natasha and Kiera and was not opening the door for them and was annoying them.Mia felt relieved that Gabe wasn’t with these women. “Where did he go?” she began to look around, but then her system told her to sharpen her senses. And she did.And she found that Gabe was in the backyard, training under a tree. She went to the balcony and just observed him as she didn’t want to disturb him.He was more than 200 feet away from her. He was not punching the tree, but he just kept moving around throwing his attacks in different manners.“He’s moving like a pro boxer…” Mia uttered. “How can there not be a single mistake in his movements? His movements are so perfect.”{That’s because he’s found out the flow…} Her Luna system, Stemmer, appeared as a yellow rose in her hair. {Every art has a certain zone where you expe
“Let us out, please,” Kiera was begging Ulf. “I will give you whatever you want.” Her plan was to get out first and then deal with this little kid.“Hmph, what can aunties give me?” Ulf retorted.Every time he uttered the word ‘aunty,’ both Kiera and Natasha looked like they were aging by a few years at the least.Kiera looked at Natasha. “Who is he exactly? Russell’s kid?”“No, Russell has a daughter, I’m sure,” Natasha replied. “I’ve never seen this little brat before. He must be a maid’s child or something.”“A child of a maid, and he’s this arrogant?” Kiera gritted her teeth. “When I get out, I’m going to lift him up by his hair and then slap him left and right.”“I’m going to beat his ass with a stick so much he won’t be able to sit anywhere for a year!” Natasha added.What they didn’t know was that Ulf could hear their words. “These women are crazy. I only called them aunties, and they want to beat me black and blue for it?” He created a dozen cockroaches out of his body and rel
