The Next Day "Have all these bought today." "And remove those which probably will not be needed. El- The Young Master doesn't like them." "Okay, I'll do as you say." The Old Butler, Sebastian nodded seriously. Last night he and Madam Anderson had a long talk and from what he gathered from that conversation, this maid was special to his Old Madam. 'Then, she must have known Young Master Elian too.' "You must adhere to what she says, Sebastian, even if it's unreasonable. I'll compensate you later." Madam Anderson chuckled, adoration percolating from her words. "...Okay, Madam." After the call was over, Sebastian sighed. The Old Madam seemed very fond of Ria. "You... What the h*ll are you doing?" Sasha shrieked. "What am I doing?" Zaria cocked a brow. "Why don't you tell me since I'm unaware?" Noticing how Zaria was putting on an attitude with her, Sasha was as mad as a hornet. "Do you think you're some owner of this place here giving orders?" When she saw Zaria's

"The public is going crazy. You're getting a lot of hate comments on your profile and so many people are cursing you for being a beast. They are saying you used a girl and now you're throwing her away. Boycott Malcolm Augustus trend has been reaching everyone's ears rapidly."Malcolm sucked a breath, "What did my dad say?""With the increasing public pressure, he is suggesting to..." Manager Charles gulped. He was certainly aware that he was pushing himself to jump from a high cliff that had sharp stones on its ground. Once fallen, those sharp pieces would pierce him from his behind to his front. "To...?" "To leave this profession and join him in the company.""..." Two minutes passed, and the poor manager finally experienced what he knew was inevitable. Malcolm Augustus burst into flames. His veins popped out as he flung a glass on the floor, hard. It broke into little million pieces. 'Poor glass. How many he has broken till today?'Manager Charles winced. "Tell him under no

"Here are the things, Uncle Sebastian. I'm going to my room now. Don't let anyone disturb my rest." Although Ria did take her revenge on that man by advising him to go for treatment, she was still sad for those fresh-scented flowers. "Ah-?" The Old butler Sebastian was a little baffled. 'What happened to this girl? Wasn't she ecstatic earlier? So strange.' "Why Young Master Anderson doesn't eat lunch here?" Zaria asked out of the blue when she had her complete rest. "He eats in the company." "But isn't this unhealthy?" Zaria frowned. Sebastian was about to respond, but... "What's with you calling Mr Anderson the Young Master? You think it's some medieval 16th, 17th century?" Sasha, who had just arrived made fun of Ria. Zaria quietened down and even Sebastian made a face. First things first, it was rude to interrupt others. Since Sebastian could not say anything, so Ria did the education on his part, indirectly. "It's the respect and manners we all are taught since ch

Zaria's eyes squinted at the strong light above her. Before she could assimilate to the light, Elian's head blocked it. Elian, who had come downstairs to drink water, frowned when he saw the entrance gate open. Before he could see properly, it all went dark. Who knew the person he had caught under him was the person he had run away from? "How are you here?" Elian inquired, forgetting everything around. Zaria blinked. Inside her mind, she was: 'Control!''Control!' 'Do not-''You aren't a beast, Ria.'To say she was thrilled, would be an understatement. The pinning scene in which the Male lead and Female lead..."Erm...I," Zaria glanced at his arm that was trapping her from one side, from the corner of her eyes and bit her lips. Elian followed the trail of Zaria's eyes and backed away slowly. "Sorry." "Cough." Zaria looked down at her hands, now sitting on the couch. "Sorry, too." "How long have you been living here?" "Not long. Just... a few days."She stared at Elian who w

"Get up!""Mr Mason, rise and shine!" Mason grumbled, "Do I look like a child to you?" He was having such a nice dream of him hugging Jess, but Parker's annoying voice woke him up. Furthermore, today was the day his rival in love was going to arrive, so his mood was extra off. He had to intimidate him so that bast*rd could back off willingly without Mason doing anything to destroy him.Yawning, Mason stretched, "What time is it?" "Past 9 a.m." "What the h*ll! Didn't I tell you both to wake me up at sharp 6?" Mason quickly shot up from the bed, glancing here and there. "We're at fault." Tyler quickly looked away from Mason and lifted the extra beds that were on the floor. "Yeah, we are. Sleep got the best of us." Parker's eyes nearly closed again. He could not get a wink last night due to Mason's torture. Mason discussed whatever strategies that came to his mind with both men. They even played cards together for their bonding time. "Have you guys seen him?""I haven't but Tyl

Mason blinked."Where is this voice coming from?" The soldiers started to look around, suspicious thinking that an enemy had invaded their place. "It's my backpack." Mason casually commented, seemingly turning normal in front of others but only he knew how he wanted to push Kade away from his Jess. "Really?" Curious, the soldiers who called him coward some moments ago, were now surrounding him with wide eyes. "Yep." Mason was all smug as he glanced at Kade from the corner of his eyes. So it was what they called, 'when the tables get turned?' "It tells exactly what is wrong with the body the little device is supporting and tells what majors should be taken to accommodate to the situation present. This is just a prototype though. I'm still working on its improvement."'Ha, can he rival me in brains?'What Mason was looking for, was something he could not find in Kade. All his smugness turned to disappointment. Where was the negativity he was seeking!Kade had no jealousy, no feelin

Master Anderson was reading the newspaper when his wife, Madam Anderson, suddenly announced, "Dear, I want to visit them." Upon hearing her, he looked up."Didn't you say you wanted to give them time to settle into their lives themselves?" "It's been days, John. Without my princess, this place feels empty." Madam Anderson mumbled. She used to miss Elian when he was not with them, but Zaria was always there to give her company. Now that Zaria had married, without having her around, Mia Anderson felt lonely. Master Anderson arched a brow, "I thought my company was enough for my wife?" Since Madam Anderson said nothing, sighing, he got up and sat beside her."I miss them."He took her hand in his and coaxed her gently, "They both have grown up, honey. They don't want us to look after them anymore." "I know but what's wrong with visiting them? I don't believe they won't like us coming to their home," Madam Anderson frowned. She really wanted to go see them. "Okay, okay, we'll do w

"You have misunderstood," Zaria said as she tried to escape from the uncomfortable grasp."Don't try to act innocent! I have caught you red-handed and now you say I'm misunderstanding?" Sasha was not letting go.She had got the opportunity to get Ria out of this place. How could she let it go?"I'm not going to say it again. Let go." Sasha was appalled when she felt the overbearing pressure from Zaria's gaze and words. Once again Sasha felt an inferiority complex hitting her.Gritting her teeth, she yanked Ria's hands with force and pulled Ria with her. Unbeknownst to both of them, something fell from the wardrobe but none of them paid attention to it."Where is everyone!""Why are you shouting, Miss Sasha? Others are gone already, so why are you still here?" Sebastian was massaging his temple. Hearing the high-pitched tone gave him a headache."Why–" Sebastian halted as he saw the two girls together. As soon as his eyes went to Sasha's hand which was gripping Ria's, he frowned."–Are

"Sofia, so you have finally decided to leave this house for good?" A loud voice sounded in the room, and soon the smashing of objects followed. Her little sister, Abigail winced. To her, it was a norm. Her mother's hysteria, coercion, and in the end, her guilt. Abigail sighed. She knew what the outcome would be if she let it continue. "Yes, I want to leave, and I will leave." Sofia was hell-bent. One of the reasons she wanted to escape was this. Ever since he left, her mother was never the same. For years, she tried to get her mother to accept reality. That she had to learn to live without him. However, it all went in vain. Her mom never understood. He was her everything to the point that her daughters had no value in her eyes.

"Excuse me, Miss?" Someone shook her. Blinking her eyes open, she was greeted by a man in a white coat. She was a little dazed."Huh?"The light was encircling the place when she came to her senses completely and moved her neck which hurt. Sleeping in a chair and that too on a cold night with no blanket made her body freeze in some places.Albeit the area she was in was a secluded corner– away from the hospital, still, she could hear the faint bustling of people, the stomping of their hurried feet, and the sounds of wheelchairs screeching on the floor.Last night it was all too quiet that she forgot she was in a hospital and slept. One short nap became a thorough sleep and the long night evolved into a day.Her phone buzzed.Mumbling an 'excuse me', she checked her phone to see 6 missed calls from home and got worried."Hello?""Ria, we're trying to reach out to you but you weren't answering." Nanny Mary's voice filled with concern greeted her. "Is everything alright there?""Yes, yes

In the waiting room, an old woman stood up.Nanny Mary hugged Zaria. Slipping into a familiar embrace, Zaria felt calm and her breathing turned even.

How could she collapse all of a sudden?"Nanny Mary's grip on Zaria loosened and she sighed."Old Madam... She was thinking very hard these past few days. Her expression was also not happy.

Lost 98: She Collapsed
Zaria Smith knew the moment she saw this woman named Christina Norman, she was going to be a thorn in her relationship with Elian. For 3 days, Zaria did not see Elian and Christina. She had no idea what they were doing. As she passed by the hallway, she heard the low whispers of the servants, their eyes following her and observing her moves as if she were a criminal who had done a heinous crime. Were they blaming her for Christina's state? Was it Ria who forced Christina to eavesdrop on her conversation with her husband, Elian Anderson? Deep in her thoughts, she did not realise she had bumped into Sebastian. Startled, Zaria shook her head, her mind disturbed. "I wasn't looking clearly. Forgive me, Uncle Sebastian." "Young Madam, I..." "What is the matter, Uncle Sebastian? Why are you so pale?" Zaria was getting worried. Why was he so quiet? Butler Sebastian was silent as he kept his gaze low. "Is it about Elian?" "Young Madam, you have to promise me that you must stay calm
Lost 97: He Will Leave Me
'I will finally talk to him! I can't tolerate her presence anymore. Humph, if she has no recollection of 2 years ago, she better make new memories if she can't recover the old ones.' Zaria was thinking when she stilled and watched the scene unfolding. "Elian, you're back!" Christina leapt into Elian's arms happily. "Mmh." "When are you planning to bring your friends here, Elian? I haven't seen them for a long time and I want to meet them." Zaria was in disbelief. This Christina had met them, but Zaria.. Elian had never introduced his friends to her. Not even a simple description of how they might have looked like. He always had dinner outside the house when he visited his friends. "They are busy nowadays," Elian answered and tried to separate himself from Christina but she would not budge. "Well, forget them. Do you feel the difference here?" "..." "Ugh, look around! I have changed everything." Only after that, Elian's dark eyes went to every corner. "The previous setting w

"Good grief!" The next morning when Butler Sebastian saw Zaria, he was flabbergasted. "What happened to you, Young Madam?" "Uncle Sebastian..." Zaria Smith could not get a single wink last night. The moment she would shut her eyes, she would see Elian together with that woman. She had black bags under her eyes and slightly puffed cheeks, giving a great impression of a panda. The torment she and her soul went through was intolerable. None of her friends was here. Who should she confide in? Past, he said. Was she truly just a past? Then why did he keep her here? Butler Sebastian was concerned. Was the task not successful? Since he could not get a word out from Zaria, he sighed. "Young Madam, have something first and then resolve the matter." "Resolve the matter? Will he let us do it?" Zaria muttered, a bitter face forming. "Yes?" "Oh, nothing." As she proceeded to go to the kitchen, she heard some maids speaking. "That guest staying in the room opposite the hallway, isn't she
Lost 95: Someone From The Past
The dinner ended in silence. Zaria waited for Elian to say something or start a conversation, but he did not. He seemed distracted. The atmosphere was romantic and dreamlike yet the tension and nervousness somehow kept coming in. Under the table, Zaria clenched her fists apprehensively. "Elian, I need to talk to you." Elian was brought back to reality as he sensed Ria's gaze on him. Blinking, he cleared his throat, "I have been meaning to tell you something for quite a while as well. I can only let this out today now that I have got the chance." Zaria's heartbeat accelerated. Was he too- She gratefully thanked her ancestors and the heavens for this moment. With a shy look, she shook her head, her voice soft and she gazed down. "You can speak first. I can wait." "Are you sure?" Elian asked seriously. "Mmh." After all, whether she said it or he said it, it was the same. Sighing, Elian made eye contact with Zaria. He was holding this girl for a long time knowing that she could h
