"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.

"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." The other guy shrugged. They could only hope for their mission to be successful.Jessica Miller had an uncomfortable, itchy feeling. Maybe, she should not have said that to him.2 hou
Lost 91: I Only Require Your Opinion
"Mas-""Don't look," He stopped her, his voice raspy, as he continued to hold her in his arms. "Let me hug you for some moments. I don't need anything more from you." Jessica Miller had never thought she would see Mason Waters of all people so dejected. A peaceful silence fell between them. After a while, she heard him speak softly, his chest vibrating with each word he told. "Have you truly decided you want to live with that person?" "Mmh." "Is this what your father wants?" "Yes.""Do you have the same thoughts as Major?"After a while, she responded, "...Yes.""What do you think about his face?""It's good.""More than mine?" Mason questioned, earning himself a pinch from Jessica Miller. Mason winced and Jessica stopped. "What about his brains? Is his intelligence comparable to mine?" "He's wise. Stop comparing yourself with him. Both are different." Jessica coldly told him. "Okay, hear me out. It's the last question." "Then do you like him?" This time, Jessica did not a
Lost 92: Challenge Kayden To a Duel
Mason yawned like a cat.Yesterday, he got the best sleep of his life. Surrounded by the scent of his Queen. It was as if she were beside him.Smiling to himself, he opened his orbs only to meet a pair of violet-blue eyes watching him. He was a little appalled."J-Jess! Is this a dream?" Did she stay with him the whole night?Jessica rolled her eyes and was about to insert a thermometer into his mouth.Noticing it, Mason coughed."What?" Jessica gave him a look."It's just...you are already acting like a wife, so I'm feeling embarrassed." To make his words appear more affected, he covered his face, hiding it in his hands."..."Apathetic, Jessica started to get up."W-Wait! I'm sick. At least take care of me until I leave this place." Mason's puppy eyes did not work one bit on Jessica Miller.Instead, she loured at him.Mason began to gasp for breath, loudly coughing to get Jessica's attention.As expected. Jessica's eyes widened as she clutched him with panic. "Are you alright?""Are
Lost 93: Mason's Victory
By the afternoon, all the soldiers in the Army camp, be it the young ones who were there for training or the veterans who were called to train those soldiers, learned about the duel. The news escalated swiftly like wildfire. The people who favoured Mason were worried for him like hell. But the main man did not fear one bit. Rather, he was happily humming, writing something on his screen. "I have brought practice equipment." "Don't you want to train?" "Why should I?" Mason did not look up from the screen. "You're going to fight with him in some hours, yet why are you so calm, Mr Mason!? It's Kade you'll be fighting with!" "Hush, I'm talking with my Queen." Mason waved his hand in dismissal. He was not the least bit nervous. But what got him riled up was when Jessica refused to see him. She was not even responding to his messages. He assumed she was angry at him. After what happened last time, she warned him to not come to her room again. He was not joking earlier. He and his
