Lost 83: Meeting The Love Rival
"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
Lost 84: She Isn't Zaria Smith!
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
Lost 85: Important Guest
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

"How about you seduce him?""...""Come on, you children are all grown-up. No need to be shy. Show him some women's charm and moves.""Aunt, you know he isn't like that!" Zaria's cheeks were red.How could Aunt Amelia tell her this!"You're right. Cousin has raised him with manners, so he probably won't jump in on you even if you make a move on him.""I-""Hush, listen!" The two of them were sitting on the bed, making plans, "You have to eliminate this alienation between you and Elian yourself. If not in this way, then the traditional way." Aunt Amelia was serious."The traditional way?" Zaria tilted her head in confusion."Yes, talk to him like you both usually talk and assure him with a beautiful smile. Serve him some good food and gradually start making moves. Haven't you heard? The path to a man's heart is through his stomach. This way, his barriers would eventually collapse.""Talk to him like we do usually?" Zaria was thinking deeply. Did they even talk?"I think I get it, Aunt.

"You know about it?" Mason asked after a short pause."Of course, I know." Mason felt someone at his back. He looked from the corner of his eyes and found that it was his father-in-law who was eyeing him. It appeared that he wanted to hear as well."Aren't you here for the wedding?" Kayden suddenly laughed and the atmosphere became normal again.'Fool, he doesn't know that I'm here to snatch his bride from him. I knew it. He doesn't have the brains.' Mason internally snorted."Yes, it is just like what you think." Mason smiled without changing his carefree face. "I'm here for the wedding and I'll not leave without attending it." Both men had a staring contest and Kayden was the first one to break it."Sure. You're our guest, so probably we can't let you go." Kayden patted his back in a friendly manner.Mason let out a smileJessica clenched her fists. Her face was void of emotion, but her heart was racing.This place was her father's territory. If her father– No, if something happened

"So... Do you want to order something?""No." Jessica refused."Are you happy with this arrangement, Miss Jessica?" Kayden's voice was polite and kind. He looked rough, but his tone was as soft as a feather. It was almost contrasting.Jessica nodded and sipped her coffee."Major– I meant your father said so many wonderful things about you, so I was very eager to meet you and to get to know you."Jessica halted as she felt awkward."...He talked about you too. He's very proud of you.""Is that so?" Kade scratched his head, embarrassed. "I'm not this impressive.""Take credit when you do good things for the people. Don't be humble." Jessica spoke lightly as she stared in a distance.Somehow, a very conceited young man came to her mind who was very silly and bragged whenever he found a chance. Thinking of it made Jessica let out a fleeting small smile.One look again at her, it was already gone.No one but Mason had noticed it and he had never wanted to scratch everything this badly befo

"I pity him. Now that Kade is here, I wonder what will become of him.""Sigh, indeed. Such a miserable guy.""What happened?" Walking, Jessica glanced at the two soldiers indifferently."Young Miss! I-It's nothing! We were talking nonsense.""Yes, yes, whatever happened to Mr Waters has got nothing to do with us."Jessica froze. What happened to Mason?The other soldier glared at his friend as if saying, 'Why did you say that!'"Where's he?""We... We don't know. Please, e-excuse us."The young soldiers lowered their heads. They were friends of Parker who had now become a part of Tyler's plan.Their sole purpose to be a part was: To unite the poor lovers.When they were out of Jessica's sight, Parker's friend turned to his partner; whispering, "You think this will work?""It happens in the book, though."
