The first day of class had always been the same every year, but at the same time, the feeling never got old. Students, particularly the seniors in their last year, were excited. The first-year students were either anxious about this new chapter of their life. Some were looking forward to what this new chapter in their life would bring them. Those in between would either gather at the gates or high-fiving with their previous classmates and friends. For sure, just like Cosette, Maxen, and Luke, who were…-

Maxen let out a dry chuckle, walking beside Cosette on their way to their school. He just recalled the conversation he had with Conrad, and it felt like a thorn was plucked out of his throat, knowing Conrad was aware of his relationship with Cosette. "Hmm? Why are you smiling?" Cosette tilted her head to the side, watching him look back at her. Maxen flashed her a kind smile and shook his head. "Nothing. I just remembered something," he explained, raising his hand to pat her head. She walked slower.…

"I like Cosette, Sir, and she likes me. So, we agreed we should date." Maxen kept his eyes on Conrad's back, watching the latter turn around with two glasses in his hands. "She wants to keep it a secret from you for now... because she knows you'll restrict us from having some time alone." "I see..." Conrad rocked his head, sauntering towards the head seat. When he plopped his butt down, he looked up at Maxen and tipped his head to the other couch. "Come, sit." Maxen gulped and nodded. As instructed,…

"I mean, you're right. I'm the bad father and the annoying friend." Conrad kept his eyes sharp, looking out at the window. He was already used to Maynard's insensitive and nosey nature, so he didn't take it to the heart. But it still hit a nerve in his head, which didn't sit well with him. "I told Cosette..." Conrad spoke, making Maynard raise his brows. "... during her internship, I told her I don't want her to get married until she's fifty." "What? Hey, that's even more selfish!" "And I'd make sure…

Cosette spent the last few days of the summer break with Maxen. They had a talk regarding the setup of their relationship. After all, Maxen regarded Conan with the highest respect he could give to a man, and he didn't want to hide their relationship status. He was prepared to get kicked out and work hard, be better in school, and succeed in life to be able to stand on the same ground as her. However, Cosette crushed his plans with a simple no. He might be ready to get kicked out, but not Cosette. She…

"You're mine now." Maxen looked at Cosette with slight surprise, letting out a dry laugh as he processed her words. He leaned his arm against the table, lips curling into a charming smirk. "No." he shook his head. "You are." — Cosette was his now... forever. Cosette pursed her lips to suppress her smile, looking up at him. Both of them chuckled, shaking their head, pleased at the outcome of their situation. "Eat, Max," she mumbled, forking a piece on her plate. "Mhm." His eyes were soft,…

No matter how hard Cosette racked her brain, she was met with a dead end. She couldn't figure out everything with just two clear memories in her head. Moreover, although she had a logical theory, there were just myriads of questions in her head that followed that theory. She came up with different theories — both nonsense and a bit more logical. That was all Cosette thought in the entire morning and even during showering, but to no avail. In the end, she was still stuck in her first theory that Cosette…

pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m Cosette flinched as she snapped back to the current lapse, tipping the digital clock a little. Horror dominated her face, holding her breath as she blinked her dilated eyes. "What's that?" she muttered with a shaking voice, recalling the sudden memory that surged in her head. The memory was just like her dream last night; it was too crystal clear, the hair on the back of her neck raised. She rubbed her shoulders to calm herself down, shaking her head mildly. "Was that another dream?"…

GASP! Cosette panted for air as she sprung up after waking from a long dream. She clutched her chest tightly and touched her face when she felt tears staining it. She had a dream like she always had. Usually, Cosette would wake up feeling groggy and confused every time she woke up from her dreams. However, she would usually forget what it was about and go on with her day. She almost got used to it that Cosette put little thought into them. But now... she could remember some details in her dream last…

Time passed, and Maxen decided to take Cosette to bed. The servants were aware of their close relationship, so when Lucia saw him carrying her back to her room, she helped him. With Lucia's help, Maxen reached Cosette's room without any mishap and laid her down on the bed carefully. When he tucked her in, a smile resurfaced on his face. He stood on the side of the bed, eyes fixed on her peaceful, sleeping face. Staring at her, he couldn't help but caress her face while Lucia left to do something. As he…
