Tony took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air that he could finally enjoy after spending quite a long time recovering his body in a place where he could finally leave for as long as possible.If possible, he doesn't want to come to that place forever, he muttered without taking his eyes off the trees whose leaves swayed with the wind. After his fight with William Schneider, which nearly killed him, he slowly began to rethink his priorities and realized one thing.Until that incident, he was so focused on all his tasks that he barely had time for Lorenzo. For that reason, he decided to give his boyfriend a little surprise as his way of making up for all the lost time by asking him out on a date to a lake that was quite far from their house.His hand then reached for the cell phone that was in his trouser pocket and searched for Lorenzo's name in his contact list before calling his boyfriend, who immediately received his phone call within seconds."Hey! What's up, babe?"Lorenzo's voi
On the way to Lorenzo's house, he stopped for a moment at a roadside antique shop that caught her eye immediately and went into the shop, looking for something he could give Lorenzo as a gift from him later."May I help you, Sir?"A young man's voice greeted him from behind in a warm and cheerful tone that made him almost drop one of the ceramic cups he had been holding."Oh, did I startle you, sir?"The young man then looked at him with a worried face, making him immediately respond to the boy named Mike's question with a nod of his head."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Sir. I just wanted to help you because you look a little difficult when choosing the thing you want to buy.”"Am I?" he asked, which the young man answered with a nod of his head while taking the ceramic cup he was holding from his hand and returning it to its original place. “Well… You are right. I was having a hard time buying something from this shop for someone.”"Does that person have a special position in your
Arriving at the lake where he invited her boyfriend to spend their time there, he was forced to carry Lorenzo after his boyfriend repeatedly refused his invitation to get out of his car.Even though he had already brought a bag containing their picnic needs for this afternoon, his boyfriend again refused his invitation with reasons that again made no sense."Put me down right now!" cried Lorenzo, beating his chest many times, which he simply ignored. "I want to go home right now! Whatever it is, it's not here with you or whoever is in Tony's body right now!""After I went all the way to pick you up from home and drove my car to take you to this place? Well, I don't want to waste my time without enjoying the scenery here with you.""It adds one more reason for me not to go along with you! Put me down while I'm still asking you nicely.""My answer is still the same, which is no.""You!!! Aargh!! I don't want to be your sacrifice, dammit!"It was only then that he stopped his footsteps a
The limousine driven by Hades arrived in front of the new apartment building she did not recognize. Hades got out of the car, opened the car door, and invited Veronica, Karl, and also Stephen to get out of the car."Thank you, Hades," Veronica said, looking down at Hades, who only responded with a small smile on his face. She had not seen Hades for a long time, especially since she moved from Mansion Karl to Stephen's mansion.Compared to the last time she met Hades, she felt that Hades looked much thinner and paler, with fatigue that was very clear on the face of the lizard man. Even she noticed that the tail of the man's lizard only moved weakly."Hades, have you brought the items I asked for?" Karl asked as soon as he set foot down from his limousine, facing Hades."Yes, your highness.""Great. And how about Alec? I remember that I had told him to postpone my order taking in his place, but I think I had to take the order faster than the initial schedule. ""Young master Alec stated
Veronica's eyes blinked, unable to believe what she had just seen in front of her. Febrina blew the birthday trumpet so loudly, along with the cheers that were so lively, that she almost fell over in surprise. Meanwhile, Gavin along with Erna and Bianca began to sing Happy Birthday—not in a harmonious way—while carrying a birthday cake. Well, out of the three of them, only Bianca was tone deaf. So it is clear who was the culprit for contributing to the hoarse tone. "Happy birthday Vero." “Eh?” Veronica looked at her older sister, who immediately hugged her tightly, and stopped blowing her trumpet. "What's this? Why is there cake?” "I prepared this for a celebration of your birthday," answered Febrina in a soft, half-whispered tone. "I knew you would forget your birthday so I thought coming up with a surprise party idea like this would definitely make you feel good." "Oh, I don't know what to say," Veronica returned Febrina's hug for a moment, and kissed her older sister's cheeks
The sound of soft music filled the living room where Veronica was currently. His sister was busy dancing with Gavin in a passionate dance style that contrasted with the elements of the music that was playing. Meanwhile Erna and Bianca were busy playing tarot cards in the dining room.He can't play tarot cards—let alone read it, so he chooses to sit on the sofa chair that looks like his sister just bought him. The old sofa chair, he didn't know where it was, but the new chair was much more comfortable.His hand had been holding the edge of the wine glass, only shaking the glass occasionally without taking a sip, enjoying the view in front of him.If, if only time would continue like this…The peace, the sound of laughter, the happiness of those closest to him..."I reckon the war will start in a week's time, according to my quickest estimate…"He remembered Arabelle's words when he was still at Nora's residence. His hand stopped shaking the wine glass, and he took a deep breath.Was th
Yesterday's twenty-first birthday party he could say was the best birthday party ever. First, because legally, he can legally drink alcoholic beverages without worrying about being reprimanded by others. Second, for the reason that her older sister threw an unexpected surprise birthday party for her at the new apartment.An apartment that she was not even sure her older sister could afford to buy it in a cheap price. Her older sister said little about Gavin helping her older sister get her to buy a high-security apartment.It was from Stephen that she finally found out that the new apartment that his older sister had bought was apparently still within the scope of the Laurent clan. That meant, as long as no one attacked the Laurent clan, no one would dare harm anyone who was considered part of the Laurent clan.For now, at least it's safe. He didn't know how much longer this disturbed calm would last. From Karl, to Stephen, as well as the other clans of supernatural beings, all of the
Stephen knew something was wrong.He just knew it. That was all the evidence he had. When Gavin and Petra provided their latest report on the situation to him, he noticed something is missing from the report.But what?He stirred the butter, which finally melted thanks to the constant temperature and speed of stirring, blending together with the other ingredients he put into the mixture to form the garlic bread with the extra chilli sauce he needed.As soon as Nora left him to talk to Arabelle, he immediately took the opportunity to go back to cooking. He made it not for everyone who attended his girlfriend Veronica's party. Not even for him to eat alone.He cooked it for the diversion of his mind, which was still trying to find answers from the oddities that approached his mind. Apart from smoking, cooking has always been one of the things he has done to divert his mind or fill his free time. If it were not for the fact that he had run out of cigarettes because he forgot to buy them
