Winter's POV"No, I don't want to ride that one! Not that one!" I screamed while Elisse and Matthew were forcing me to ride the roller coaster."It's not that dangerous, Winter. Come on, Elisse and I are going to be with you, anyway. You can sit between the two of us so you won't be scared anymore." said Matthew.I shook my head. "And who said I wouldn't feel scared anymore?! No! I don't want to ride that!""Fine. Alright, let's not ride that anymore. I thought you would agree to try all the rides here, but I guess there is something that the Goddess Winter is afraid of. Have you heard about the actress Wendy? I heard she loves going to an amusement park. I kind of think she's a really strong woman. I mean, being able to—"Alright, alright! I'll ride it if that's what would shut your mouth! Come on!""No, Winter. It's alright even if you don't—"I said, let's go! I'm not afraid of this damn roller coaster!"***"Ugh! I won't ride the roller coaster ever again!""Are you alright, Miss
Winter's POV"Winter? Are you awake now?" I could hear Matthew knocking outside of my room. I tried getting up, but I was too weak to do it. It rained so heavily last night after we watched the fireworks, and since the asshole parked the car way too far from the amusement park, we had to run like thieves just to be able to get there. And now, I think I have a fever."Yes, what do you want from me?" my voice was a little throaty."Can I come inside?""Go on!"The door went open, and so Matthew stepped in dressed in his corporate suit. "Are you sick?""Isn't it obvious? I guess I got it from last night. I can't even get up from bed, my body's feeling so heavy."He walked toward me and touched my forehead, using the back of his hand."You're hot. You do really have a fever.""Why do I look like I'm lying to you?""No, it's not like that. Wait for me here, okay? I'll get some cold compress and some soup for you."I nodded my head. "Okay. Wait, but how about Elisse? Who's going to drive
Themis' POVI woke up from the knock coming from the door. I didn't notice that I fell asleep while doing some paperwork. I glanced at Winter first, who was still sleeping before I decided to stand up and walk to the door."Sir. The lunch is now ready. Do you want us to just bring your lunch here?""No, I'll just be the one to bring that here. Also, can you help Winter change her clothes?""Huh? But why don't you just change it, Sir? You are her husband, anyway."My eyes widened and for no apparent reason, I felt the heat in both of my ears. "I'll just get our lunch. Please, help her change her clothes.""Yes, Sir."I went downstairs to get our lunch and medicine for Winter. As I was about to go upstairs, I heard Elisse's voice. "Brother! Is Miss Winter feeling alright now?!" she ran towards me and helped me with the food."Hi there, Elisse. Well, she still needs to rest. But she'll be alright soon, so there's no need for you to worry about it.""That's good to hear. By the way, I br
Winter's POVI woke up feeling something heavy on my tummy. As I opened my eyes, I got surprised upon seeing Elisse and Matthew sleeping soundly beside me. They were both hugging me as if they have been doing it since last night.I was about to wake them both up, but then I realized that maybe they fell asleep while looking after me. They took care of me all night and for sure they both got tired doing that.I just closed my eyes and stayed still. I have never experienced this before. I was used of sleeping alone, and now there are these people squeezing me."Belle..." Matthew suddenly whispered. That made me look at him. Who the heck is that Belle, anyway? "All you talk about is that Belle. Who is she, huh?" I whispered while looking at him.I gently turned around and faced him. All of a sudden, he moved his face even closer to me and hugged me as if I was his mother. I just stared at his sleeping face.Actually, he can definitely be a model or an actor he wants too. His skin is so
Winter's POVI left Elisse on the bench to buy burgers and when I came back; I saw a kid together with her mom yelling at her. The brat even pushed Elisse away, which caused her to fall to the ground. How dare that brat!"Hey!" I yelled so loud that made the girl and her mother look at me. I walked towards Elisse and helped her stand up before facing them again."Why did you push her away?!""And who are you? Anyway, that kid stole my daughter's doll!" said the woman.I glanced at Elisse. "Is that true?"She shook her head while her eyes were full of tears. "I-I didn't do that, Miss Winter. This is the doll you bought for me a while ago...""See? That's the doll I bought her a while ago! She didn't steal anything from your kid!""That kid is a liar! She stole my daughter's doll! She must give that back to her!" the woman said again as she reached for Elisse's hand, trying to take the doll away from her.Elisse kept on crying and so I wasn't able to hold back and pushed the woman awa
Winter's POVI was in the middle of filming when I suddenly received a call from Matthew."Hello?""Winter, Elisse is missing!" the frustration in his voice was obvious.My eyes widened. "Missing? What?! How? She's in school, right?""Yes, I went here to fetch her, but then the guard of their school told me that a woman went here and introduced herself as Elisse's guardian. She also presented some identification cards which left them no choice but to give Elisse to her.""For sure that's her stupid Aunt!""That's right. Don't worry, I won't stop until I finally find her.""I'll go there. Wait for me.""Huh? Are you sure?""Yes, wait for me.""Okay."I hang up the phone and looked at Haley who was standing beside me."I need to go now.""Huh? But we still have to--"This is important. We can just continue it tomorrow.""But Winter, you know--I gathered all my things and started walking away while Olivia was following me. They were looking confusingly at me, but I just continue walking
Winter's POV"Brother, it's so delicious!" Elisse cooed while we were having breakfast that Matthew cooked himself."Really? Is it delicious?" Matthew asked with a smile on his face. Elisse nodded. "Yes, it's so delicious! Right, Miss Winter?"That made Matthew look at me. My heart started beating so fast. "I-It's not bad.""Ah, I really thought it would taste bad since I think I poured a lot of salt."I hurried to eat, then I get ready for work. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Matthew and Elisse getting ready, too."Winter, do you want me to drive you to your work?" he suddenly asked me."H-Huh? No need to. I can drive myself."He nodded his head. "I see." I thought he would already go and stop asking, but then I was surprised when suddenly, he walked towards me. He was looking directly at me and my heart started beating so fast as if it would jump off my chest anytime. My eyes widened when he moved his face closer to me.W-What the hell? Is he going to kiss m--"There's somet
Themis' POV"I heard you have adopted a child," said Mr. Wesley while we were inside his office."Her name's Elisse. A six-year-old girl who used to live with her abusive aunt after her parent's death."He nodded. "I see. Don't you think she'll be a distraction from your plan?""I don't think so. She's just a child, after all. Actually, Winter was the one who took her in. Even for just a short period of time, they became much closer to each other. They treat each other like sisters, now.""Looks like you somewhat had yourselves a child now. That's good, then. Your relationship would be more convincing.""That's right. And I think having Elisse would make Winter happy. I can see the way she smiled whenever Elisse is around.""Really?" he asked with a meaningful smile on his face. I didn't understand what that smile means, though. I stood up and bowed my head. "I guess I have to go now, Mr. Wesley. I still have to go to school and fetch Elisse.""Very well. By the way, Matthew.""Sir?"
