-Flashback-
It's well after New Year when seven year old Andrew fell ill. Mrs. Higgins noticed his tiredness since New Year's Eve, but he somehow got better after taking some aspirin. However, three days after, he can no longer get out of his bed.
He sleeps all day, and he didn't want to eat. The only food he wants is his mother's mushroom soup. No maid can make him eat, or even sit on his bed, he only wants his mother.
"Honey, you still didn't want to eat? If you won't eat, we will be forced to take you to the hospital." Mrs. Higgins said while standing by her son's bedroom door.
"I don't like the food they're bringin

It's been a long time since they last saw each other, and Arman looked so happy to be with him again.Amara winced when she heard footsteps rushing down the stairs like horses racing. Both of them were panting when they raced each other to the dining table. Seeing them get together so well makes Amara smile involuntarily. They truly looked like father and son."Amara, are you okay?" Darson asked when he noticed Amara staring at them."Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Let's eat." She responded. Arman noticed that they both look like they were pooping themselves.The awkwardness in the air somehow dissipated when Arman started laughing out of nowhere.

If only she can let herself be consumed by what she feels about Darson, but she can't."What the—oh, my God!" Amara exclaimed when she felt a masculine arm wrapped around her waist. Last was not a dream. It was all real. From the time that Arman left for school, until he came back, and after they had their dinner. All of it was real.She felt embarrassed, yet her heart is as calm as a lake water. The smell of mint and aftershave mixed perfectly with Darson's natural body scent. It smells like nature, and it soothes her senses.It's still early for her to wake, but she wanted to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

They want to get her reaction, and test what she knows about the Higgins' crime empire.Darson stayed with them after being his parents for a day and a half. He wanted to make sure that someone is with them whenever those reporters horde outside her house. They were like zombies. No matter how hard the sheriff's officers try to push them away, they won't budge."The hell with these people! Why won't they just leave?" Darson exclaimed out of frustration. They've been watching the scene outside since this morning, and nothing changed since then. More than a dozen reporters are outside."Calm down, Dar. That's how reporters work. They need to be the first on every juicy scoop." Amara tapped his shoulder with a smile."Arman is ab

Why can't you just stay away from her?" Emily, one of her older sister said angrily."Why can't you understand that I won't do that? Huh! She didn't anything to you!" He talked back with the same intensity.
