★★★ The black car was speeding along the wide road that ran through the dense woods. Cornell peered out the window to take in the lovely surroundings. The area was lush with vegetation, and the giant trees were blocking the sun's rays from smashing to the earth. With each breath, the cool, crisp breeze forced a whiff of wet wood across his nose. “Cornell!” From the front passenger seat, Jessica grumbled in displeasing tone. She warned him not to stick his head out five times in a row. “Liam, are we going to a cabin? I have seen in movies that people own cabins in the woods where they go to have fun." Cornell chimed as he sat back in his chair in response to his mother's call. He did not hesitate to interrogate Liam, who was in a good mood because Cornell and Jessica were in the car with him. Even though the mother and son were both boisterous, he never lost sight of the fact that he was happy because of them. While the majority of the time he became irritated by individuals. “Yes,
★★★In a dimly lit room, the surgeon who had conducted Darren's surgery sat with a large alcohol bottle in front of him. With each glass, he was slipping further and further down the rabbit hole. Due to his own action, he was in a hopeless depressive state. He had his phone in front of him, with an email being written and waiting to be sent to the person he wanted to let know what had happened.The doorbell rang at that precise moment, causing his finger to stop on the send button. He had to get up and walk to the door because no servants were there in his home as per his request due to his demand for privacy.He unlocked the door thinking it was the meal he had ordered online, but when he half opened it, he saw a familiar face staring back at him. The visage of the person standing outside of his building had abruptly taken away the drowsiness he had acquired after finishing one bottle of whiskey.“What reason has transpired for you to come here to look for me? I believe I have do
★★★ “What is he doing, Cornell? It is almost time for dinner,” Jessica questioned Cornell, who was clinging to his mother. Every time she wanted to go to the kitchen, he was chasing her away, telling her that she would cause an interruption in Liam's cooking. Jessica had no concept of how her presence would interfere with his cooking when all she wanted to know was how long his food would take to finish. “I have seen the meals, Mum. Most importantly, they smell savory and are almost ready,” Cornell spoke out quickly, drawing her mother's attention to him. He had anticipated Liam would complete making dinner in two hours, but more than two hours passed with no aroma wafting from the kitchen. “I do believe you, but, strangely, you're stopping me from going to the kitchen. Would you kindly move aside so I can see what he is putting together for dinner?" Jessica took a step forward towards the kitchen, gently shoving Cornell out of the way. Almost instantaneously, a strong burning smel
★★★When the meals were prepared and placed on the wooden table, it was half past nine. Due to the cabin being surrounded by trees, the quiet sound of fireflies and the noise of moving cutlery were combined. Three people sat at the table and started to enjoy the delicious supper that Jessica had prepared.Three bowls of ramen, together with bread and a unique sauce that Liam had never tasted before, were served. Liam was unable to control his desire to taste the sauce repeatedly.At that point, Cornell put down his spoon and exclaimed,"Mom, everything is excellent, but I am out of places to eat more. Can I retire to my room while you and Liam have dinner?""Are you certain?" Jessica inquired as to if he was full.“Yes, mom. I cannot consume food anymore," Cornell remarked with a rush in his voice, and handed Jessica the half-eaten Ramen."Alright!! But do not go to bed without brushing your teeth," Jessica reminded him what he needed to do before falling asleep.“As you have
★★★ “Your dislike for him will not change the fact that he is a good man and a useful friend, which is why I have never made him feel terrible or intentionally hurt his emotions. Otherwise, I prevent letting him be near me," Jessica murmured, her eyes fixed on the glass as she recalled some moments of her past, and they felt painful still. Then she brought the wine close to her mouth and took a little sip of the sweet wine. Liam found her lost as she displayed how she felt towards that jerk; it made him ponder about what had happened to her in the past that had given her so much sorrow. Rilika had told him that her step-sister had gone abroad to study but had become pregnant. He was not interested in Jessica's story at the time primarily because he was unfamiliar with her. Consequently, he had no idea that the same person was going to amaze him and lure him into her world. And now, he felt an impulse in his body to discover more about her past while also wanting to usurp Chris' plac
★★★★“How did you come to like Rilika, then? She would not be your first option for a girlfriend if I understand you correctly,”Jessica muttered while simultaneously displaying intense emotion on every inch of her face. She might not be able to explain her motivation for asking this. Her heart was the one that compelled her to talk about it.Liam inhaled deeply, wondering why it had taken her so long to ask him about this when he had anticipated to hear from her sooner.“I was at a small party seven years ago with some well-known businessmen in attendance. Under my nose, my drinks had been tampered with by a businessman, so I was severely intoxicated. After that, I found myself in my room, totally unconscious, when...!!”"Mumma! Mumma!”They sprang out of panic when they both heard Cornell scream from the room. They stepped out of one other's grasp and rushed towards the room.“Cornell, what happened?” Jessica held her son in her embrace.“I saw a light flash outside of the w
★★★ Because everyone had gone asleep in their respective rooms, the cabin grew silent, as a result, the faint sound of insects became louder, but it was still pleasant to sleep in them. Cornell had his head on the pillow, but his hand gripped Jessica's arm securely, as though he felt safe with her touch. Jessica was also in a deep sleep since she was exhausted from the travel and the additional tiredness from last-minute cooking. This was not the case with Liam, who tossed and turned on the bed for almost a full hour but was unable to get his eyes to close. He felt lonely and had to put up with the aggravation of not being able to grab her in his arm, even though they were very close to each other. In frustration, Liam sat up and surveyed his room. There was a thought in his mind that made him ponder for a brief movement, and he could not stay on the bed. He tossed the sheet aside and walked towards the door, before exiting. Liam approached Jessica's room, unsure whether it was app
★★★Jessica reluctantly moved her head at Liam and looked intently into his eyes. She was unable to adequately describe the beauty of his eyes, which were obscured by a dark cloud and filled with a sense of ecstasy that made her want to stay there longer because that was where peace dwelt.“I am not envious, but it does not mean any lady will want to wear someone else's used clothes, especially when I can borrow my own clothes if you let me know in advance about this trip you are planning," Jessica answered, making an effort to contain her aberrant reddish hue.“I can see right into your soul, therefore you cannot fool me," Liam uttered huskily and breathed in her aroma, which had combined with a floral scent since she had taken a shower before getting into bed. He did not know much about women, and this topic had never really interested him. However, ever since he met Jessica, a lot of things had come along with her that he wanted to touch and appreciate, even though he could not
