Rose stood in front of Alexander the most nervous she's ever been in her life. She was not this scared when she broke her mother's favorite vase or when she went against her father to study art. All because she felt that this moment was more important in her life. In the end, it's all perspective. Some find getting their dream job as important and they'd get nervous as they face the interviewer. She thought studying art was her life and she was so scared to talk to her father. But today, she felt…-

Samuel noticed her eyes ending up at the tunnel. He couldn't figure out if it was an affectionate gesture or a controlling gesture. But his father is convinced that she loves her husband, and so it shall be. "About Matilda, young lady?" he questioned. Her personal life is none of his business. She made it clear that she has no intention of continuing their relationship after his father. And so, there is no need for them to get over affectionate with her. Just like she wants to be a passing…

"You wanted time with him?" rubbing his nose with the back of his index finger, Samuel looked at Jeremy. "Sure," Jeremy was curt and took a step forward. "And the thing I asked for..?" his eyes were still focused on Viper but he asked Samuel. "It will be taken care of. It will take a couple of days for the setup and after that, we can stretch it up to three days if I am not wrong. We can ask 'The Doctor' for help," Samuel answered. "The Doctor?" Viper trembled and scuttled back on his butt. "Why?…

For a moment, Jerlina wondered if she had traveled to the past as she walked through that musty-smelling, rat-infested tunnel. Water dripped from the roof of the tunnel and she walked closer to Jeremy who was holding an umbrella for her. Rose was asked to go back and Samuel joined them with some other men who appeared like trained navy seals or something. They were wearing boots and they walked without making any noise. Their eyes were forward and they seemed to be very aware of the surroundings. The…

In that lavish greenhouse filled with the scent of irises and dahlias, two men were sipping tea. Amidst the warmth, those two were engaged in what seemed to be a staring contest. Alexander clicked his tongue as his patience waned. And he didn't want to stare at Jonathan's face. He does not have the magic Victoria has. Both of them know what each other want. And Alexander knew that Jonathan will definitely ask something from him before agreeing to the wedding. "If you think you can get something…

Although she was in an unfamiliar place. Jerlina could sleep deeply as she laid in the embrace of her man. Jeremy was sleeping deeply although the sky started to brighten up. She checked his temperature and it was normal. Only then she was relaxed. She walked to the window and tried to open the window. But she couldn't. She pushed aside the curtain and looked out. As far as her eyes reached, the ground was covered with snow like a white carpet. In the hills around there were pine trees and they were…

"You don't have any plans for him, do you?" Jeremy asked. "Something along the lines of living this way would be worse than death- like you suggested for Matilda?" Jeremy asked placing his hand on her cheek. "Were you disappointed by what I suggested for her?" Jerlina asked. She could sense that he is not very impressed. "Disappointed? No!" he shook his head. "I would have disappointed had you forgiven her. But what you suggested…" he looked at the ceiling lying on his back. Jerlina looked at…

Samuel and Portia left the room and Jerlina turned and hugged Jeremy. He missed his usual pine scent for a while and smells like medicine but she felt the familiar tickle in her heart as she hugged him. It's not the pine scent that I loved, rather it is the fact that I am near the man who loves me deeply that made me all excited. I'd feel the same even if he reeks of sewage it seems... Jerlina thought. Jeremy placed a kiss on her head. "Are you tired, Jeryl?" he rubbed her back. Her eyes looked…

Jerlina could sense Jeremy getting stressed for her and bowed her head. He talked to her that not having the Hamilton patents with her might cause troubles for her company and her loyal employees. She thought it would be a far reach but being here, she could see that her husband was right. The people in this "family" are not the type she is used to. There seemed to be no love or affection among the different families that are related by blood. All they care for are for themselves. "Did Matilda try to…

"He's from that family?" Jonathan laughed. "I thought I've seen those blue eyes somewhere… Why him?" Jonathan rubbed his forehead. "His grandfather insulted me in front of everyone once… I for one was laughing as his throne room burned…" Jonathan sighed. He used to feel good that the monarchy fell and the last king was executed by the resistance. He thought that family ended. "Sire, you helped Volkonsky save his grandsons when they were kidnapped via sea? The boy who helped them back then was…
