"So, where are we headed to?" Aviana asked as soon as Ethan climbed in the car, while she continued to buckle up the seat belt.

"Wherever you wanna go, baby," came his simple reply, not forgetting to give her a brief smile. Aviana was taken a back by the word 'baby' The way it sounded when he said it, felt so good. She couldn't help smiling as she gazed at him, her eyes filled with love and affection for this man who sat beside her. After a while of staring at his gorgeous face, Aviana sighed deeply before she replied back, "Well, how about we try the amusement park, first?"

"What! Are you a kid? The park is only meant for kids?" he teased her.

"Well....I'm my mother's child!" she blurted out, finding no other words to refute him. He laughed. Then, he started the engine and drove off. From a far, a black car was parked at the other side of the road. The car waited for a few seconds until Ethan's car had driven for quite a distance before the driver took off, following behind their car

    Avi instantly turned to look at the man who made her lose the game as she glared at him, the word "seriously" written all over her face. She was extremely furious. The game had just began and she already lost? Because, he just couldn't control his strength? Ethan, on the other hand, glared back at her, oblivious of the daggers that were being thrown at him. Then, he walked past her as he casually placed his hands in his pocket."Now, it's my turn to play," he said, in the midst of rolling up the sleeves of his shirt ready to start with the game. Avi sighed helplessly. 'Why did he seem like he made me lose the game on purpose? Well, if that's the case, then I would make him have a taste of his own medicine. There's no way I'm gonna let him off just like that!' she thought, now, making up her mind to make him lose just like he'd done to her. With that, she walked up to him and said,"Honey, how about I spin it for you. Earlier, you mentioned that you've never played this game before. It

    Ethan turned around to face the woman. He didn't look surprised at all. After all, she had wanted to get back at him for making her lose, earlier. Even after knowing that had been her intention or rather, her prayer, if that was even the best word to describe everything, he still questioned, a deep frown settling on his face, and pretended to be surprised. "Why do I feel like your intentions were to make me lose rather than win? Baby, did you want me to lose?" Hearing his words, Aviana who had been excitedly jumping up and down, halted mid-way, snapping out of her excitement. She was quick to cover up her excitement and wore a different expression, that of a person who was hurt by his sudden accusations. And truth be told, she really was good at it, because right now, if Ethan hadn't masked out her true intentions, he too would fall victim of her petty tactics. One would think she had taken a back up course in acting. "Of course not, babe? Why would you even say that? Didn't I warn,

    "So, where do you wanna go next, baby," Ethan asked, while he shoved his hands inside the pockets of his Jean. "Actually, I want to keep playing the game. It's not in my nature to lose a game and walk away without giving it a second or third try......until I win," she said, shrugging off her shoulders before she walked away. Ethan felt the same, it seemed they possessed similar characteristics. Wasn't this the heaven's way of telling them, they were truly meant for each other? Ethan couldn't help feeling so proud of himself for falling in love with her. They both played the game for the second, third, fourth time and they lost every time. Unlike Ethan who was either loosening his tie or pulling his sleeves as he played his ever frustrating game, one would actually think he was preparing himself for a dead or alive battle, given the look on his face at the moment, Aviana only cried out in frustration, "Ugh!! That was close!!" When it was Ethan's turn to play, Aviana turned all her att

    The couple immediately left the haunted house and went to their next destination. As soon as they had left, the man who had been tailing them suddenly appeared from his hiding place. He looked at their disappearing silhouettes for a while before he continued to tail their back without their knowledge. On their way, Ethan happened to come across an old man who was selling flowers. An idea popped in his mind as he smiled in satisfaction."Baby, go ahead. I'll be with you shortly," he turned to Aviana and informed her. Aviana didn't know what he was upto. She nodded slightly before she walked away. Ethan walked back to the old man who was selling the flowers. The Oldman wore tatty clothes that seemed to have been repaired severally. His hair was gunmetal-Grey. His eyes were blood-flecked because of his old age. But, they were a sparkling, blue color and he seemed to see everything. "Hey mister. What type of flowers would you like to buy?" the old man asked him, when he approached. He ha

    "Are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Aviana asked, worried. Then, she raised her arm and placed the palm of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.She frowned.His temperature was definitely normal? "Honey, I'm fine. I do not feel sick at all," Ethan simply said, while he smiled at her."Are you sure? Then, why are you sweating?" she pried."I guess....."he paused for a moment as he tried to look for to find a better reason to tell her.He continued, "Because, the sun is too hot. Don't you feel it?" he lifted his shirt up and tried to blow air into his body, pretending to feel hot for real. However, Aviana wasn't buying it at all."I don't buy it! The sun isn't that hot to make anyone sweat!" she frowned while she spoke. The next moment, as if she thought of something, that could be the reason why he was sweating so profusely, she moved closer to him. Her eyes on him didn't falter even for a moment as she asked doubtfully,"Ethan, ar-are you afraid of heights?" She had notic

    Ethan walked behind her while he smiled proudly. He took out his phone secretly, and typed a message before he pressed on the send button. At that moment, a deafening bang reached their ears as fireworks exploded and scattered thousands of tiny sparks into the sky. Aviana instantly looked up to the sky. The impressive display of the fireworks made her Jaws drop. Immediately after, the words, 'I LOVE YOU AVIANA,' were clearly visible on the sky. She was speechless. Infact, speechless was an understated way. She knew, it had to be definitely Ethan's doing. What had she done to deserve such a man like himself? It turned out, the accident that happened to Hayden in someway, happened for a good course. A good course like them meeting each other and being together?Tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of joy, though. Had she ever been happier in her life? She turned to face him. Looking at the man who stood in front of her, his smiling face was just an out of this world type o

    On the following day, which was on a Monday morning, Aviana woke up to the alarm snoozing. It was around seven o'clock in the morning. A yawn escaped her mouth as she sat up straight on the bed, picked her phone from under the pillow and turned it off. Then, she climbed off the bed as her feet stepped on the tiled floor. She wore her slippers which were arranged on the side of the bed and walked straight to the bathroom. She carried out her usual morning routine from washing her face, brushing her teeth, taking a bath.It took her a whole thirty minutes and she were done with everything. She walked out of her room and headed downstairs. Hayden was already dressed up in his uniform and was sitting at the table having his breakfast. Her mother was also around. She took her place at the table and ate her breakfast heartily. Soon, she was done and was ready to leave for work. "Mother, I'll take Hayden to school, today," Aviana said to her mother, who was approaching them from the kitchen

    Today, Aviana wore a classic, brown pencil skirt that was made of leather material and a simple long-sleeve silk blouse, white in color. She accompanied the outfit with a pair of black high heels, giving off a polished and professional look. She matched down the corridor while still holding hayden's small hand in hers. Other parents were still bringing their own children to school, lessons were yet to start, the teachers had to be in their offices waiting on the bell to ring so they could go to their respective classes. Seconds later, they arrived at the office and were standing outside the door. Aviana raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door. But she hesitated when she heard the sharp and sour voices of a couple of women as they conversed, inside the room. "That good for nothing teacher came to school early, as usual. She is surely doing pretty well....""I think she is just putting on a show. She is only doing this to impress the parents and have them favor her. Seems her

    Ethan walked into "The Intoxicated" Entertainment clubhouse, the familiar buzz of energy and laughter wash over him. He spotted Alex and James who were already seated at their usual position. “Hey, look who finally decided to show up!” Alex called out, a playful grin spreading across his face. His eyes twinkled with mischief as he leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. James, ever the composed one, merely raised an eyebrow but offered a smirk.Ethan shrugged nonchalantly, but inside, he could still feel the residual warmth of the passionate encounter he’d just had with Aviana. The slightly disheveled state of his hair and the faint trace of lipstick lingering on his collar were the only signs that might give him away, but he hoped they would go unnoticed. “Traffic,” Ethan replied coolly, sliding into his seat with an air of indifference. He could see the knowing glimmer in Alex’s eyes, the way he leaned in just a bit closer, eager for any hint of a story.“Right,” Alex said, chuckl

    Aviana walked into the house, her blouse still partially buttoned, a telltale sign of the passionate encounter she’d just had with Ethan in the car. As she fumbled with the remaining buttons, trying to regain some semblance of normalcy, a small, curious voice called out from the living room.“Big sis!” Hayden appeared around the corner, his bright eyes wide with curiosity. He was clutching a toy car tightly in one hand and staring up at his sister with a mix of innocence and suspicion.Aviana, momentarily flustered, straightened up and tried to smooth her disheveled appearance. “Hey, Hayden,” she said, forcing a casual tone. “What’s up?”Hayden’s gaze remained fixed on her, his little brows knitting together as he took in the scene. “You’re home pretty late, Big sis. And why are you buttoning your blouse like that? Did you and Uncle Ethan have a... uh, fun time in the car?”Aviana’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red. She froze mid-button, her mouth slightly open as she tried to proc

    Aviana lay in Ethan's arms, their bodies intertwined in a comfortable silence that spoke volumes of their deep connection. The room was quiet, save for the soft rhythm of their breathing and the occasional contented sigh that escaped their lips.Ethan gently brushed a strand of hair away from Aviana's face, his touch tender and filled with affection. He couldn't help but marvel at how natural and right it felt to have her in his arms, to feel her warmth against him.Aviana shifted slightly, her head resting against his chest as she looked up at him with a soft smile. "You know," she murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness, "you have a way of making everything feel so... perfect."Ethan chuckled softly, his heart swelling with love for this woman who brought so much joy into his life. "I'm just glad you feel that way," he replied, his voice gentle. "You mean the world to me, Aviana."Aviana's smile widened, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on his chest as she gazed up at

    Ethan looked up, his face flushed and his posture stiff as he tried to hold Aviana close. His usual aloof demeanor was completely absent, replaced by a flustered and panicked expression. “Faith! I—I didn’t expect—” he stammered, his words tumbling out in a jumbled mess.Faith couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. Ethan, the ever-composed boss, was now visibly flustered, with his shirt slightly askew and a look of sheer bewilderment on his face. Aviana’s cries were still unabated, adding to the hilarity of the situation.“Uh, Sir,” Faith said, trying to suppress her laughter as she walked over to them. “It looks like you’re having a bit of a rough time here.”Ethan, still holding Aviana, glanced at Faith with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. “Faith, I... I don’t know what to do. She’s... she’s crying because I figured out something too quickly, and then I made it worse by saying I got help from Scarlet. I don’t know how to fix this!"Faith’s eyes twinkled with a mix of amuseme

    Ethan stood outside Aviana's office door, his mind racing with thoughts of how to approach her. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves, then knocked gently."Come in," Aviana's voice called from inside. Ethan entered cautiously, finding Aviana seated at her desk, engrossed in reviewing some documents. She looked up as he entered, her expression neutral but her eyes betraying a hint of wariness."Avi, can we talk?" Ethan asked softly, stepping further into the room.Aviana leaned back in her chair, her expression cool and composed despite the underlying irritation. Ethan stood before her, unsure of how to break through her icy demeanor."What's there to talk about, Ethan?" Aviana began, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tapped her pen on the desk. "I don't expect you to have figured out the reason I'm mad at you already. It might take you a day, a week, or a lifetime to figure it out. Who knows?"Ethan blinked, taken aback by her blunt honesty. "Avi, I—""Nope," Aviana cut in,

    Scarlet grinned at Aviana's comment about Milo, nodding in agreement. "He definitely does. But speaking of being kept on your toes, how's my brother treating you these days, Avi?" Scarlet asked playfully, raising an eyebrow teasingly.Aviana's smile faltered immediately at the mention of Ethan, her mood shifting drastically. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before responding. "Ethan?" she replied tersely, her voice edged with irritation. "He's... he's fine."Scarlet sensed the change in Aviana's tone, her playful expression fading as she picked up on the underlying tension. "Uh-oh, trouble in paradise?" she asked cautiously, eyebrows raised in mock concern. Aviana scoffed, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "Paradise? More like a roller coaster," she muttered, her hands gesturing animatedly. Scarlet sighed dramatically, leaning back in her chair as she looked at Aviana with exaggerated concern. "Okay, spill the tea, Avi. What happened between you and Ethan this

    Twenty minutes later, Scarlet arrived at the office, her steps purposeful as she made her way to Ethan's office. She knocked lightly on the door before entering, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern."Brother," Scarlet greeted warmly, her voice tinged with a hint of apprehension. "You sounded pretty serious on the phone. What's going on?"Ethan rose from his chair to greet her, grateful for her presence. "Hey, Scarlet," he began, gesturing for her to take a seat opposite him. "Thanks for coming."Taking a deep breath, Ethan recounted the events of the morning's meeting with Aviana. He described Aviana's distant demeanor, his attempts to understand her mood, and the abrupt end to the meeting after confronting her.Scarlet listened attentively, her brow furrowing with concern as Ethan finished his explanation. "So, you think Avi's mad at you, but she won't tell you why?" she summarized, her voice soft with empathy."Yeah," Ethan replied, running a hand through his hair in frust

    The boardroom was set for the meeting with the marketing team, and Aviana, with her usual efficiency, had everything organized meticulously. As they settled in, Aviana took her seat beside Ethan, her posture erect and her expression composed. However, her eyes betrayed a hint of icy reserve that Ethan couldn't ignore."Good morning, everyone," Ethan greeted cheerfully, attempting to lighten the atmosphere. Aviana responded with a polite nod but remained focused on the agenda in front of her.The marketing team leader began presenting the new campaign strategy, and Aviana listened intently, jotting down notes and occasionally exchanging professional remarks with the team. Each time Ethan tried to engage her with a comment or question, Aviana responded curtly and kept her interaction strictly business.Ethan, increasingly uncomfortable with Aviana's cold demeanor, shifted in his seat, trying to catch her eye.

    Aviana stood in Ethan's office, a stack of documents in hand, ready to brief him on the day's schedule. Despite their personal relationship, she maintained her professional demeanor, a testament to her dedication as his personal assistant."Good morning, Ethan," Aviana greeted, her voice carrying a blend of warmth and professionalism. "Here's the rundown for today. We have a meeting with the marketing team at 10 AM to discuss the new campaign strategy. Then, you have a lunch meeting with Mr. Johnson from Capital Investments at 12 PM."Ethan, leaning back in his chair, flashed a playful grin. "Sounds riveting, as always, Avi. Did you make sure they're serving my favorite dessert at lunch?"Aviana rolled her eyes playfully, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "I believe they're more interested in discussing investments than your sweet tooth, Ethan."He chuckled lightly, enjoying the banter. "You never know, Avi.
