Safe haven means more or less, a place where you can hide from something that is uncomfortable or dangerous.

Similar words that have more or less the same meaning, among others, hiding place, shelter, sanctuary, secret place, retreat.

Josephine, as far as she could remember, had known nothing of that kind in her life. She is used to doing everything herself, keeping all her sorrows alone, hiding all her fears, enjoying all her loneliness, and swallowing all her worries.

Safe haven for her is just a mirage that disappears into thin air with a flick of the hand. There is no safe haven in her life dictionary.

She doesn't have a safe haven, a place where she can hide when sadness and fear come, a protection that keeps her calm when problems and difficulties strike, a secret place for her to hide for a while from the exhaustion of facing toxic people.

She used to wear a mask from a young age. Various types of masks. Cute smiling mask. Cheerful laughing mask. Serious looking mask. Polite-fa

    Josephine opened her eyes and her eyes met Nicholas who was looking at her with a smile."Good morning, baby," Nicholas greeted. He looked down and planted a light kiss on Josephine's lips, making her shy and blush."Since when did you wake up?" asked Josephine quietly.Nicholas stroked Josephine's cheek. "Half an hour ago.""Oh?""Yes. But it goes by fast when I look at you."Josephine pulled the blanket over her head, embarrassed by Nicholas' words. The man laughed and pulled the blanket over Josephine."You're so beautiful, even when you sleep," Nicholas said. He kissed Josephine's forehead. "I'll get some warm water ready for you. Take a shower and we'll meet at the dinner table in half an hour."Josephine held Nicholas' hand. "Where are you?""I have something to do for a minute. Or... do you want me to give you a bath?"Josephine let go of Nicholas' hand and gently pushed him away. "Go. I'll see the kids after the bath."Nicholas laughed seeing Josephine's blushing face. He kiss

    "Use a limousine. I want the children to be free to play during the trip," said Nicholas.Ben nodded. "I'll prepare it, as well as Rubicon as a backup. Anything else, boss?""You've prepared everything to look after them while there, right?""I have arranged everything, boss. Nothing is missed. I prepared layers of protection, the same goes for you.""Good. I want you and Haruma to go directly as the person in charge, because tomorrow Win and Robert will help me survey the location.""Don't worry boss, I will prepare everything and do one more check tomorrow morning before leaving."Nicholas nodded with satisfaction. He returned to the room and saw that Josephine was already asleep. He climbed onto the bed.Josephine opened her eyes and smiled sleepily at Nicholas. "What time is it?" she asked.Nicholas stroked Josephine's hair gently. "It's only two in the morning. Get some sleep. You'll need extra energy to play with the kids later."Nicholas slid his arm down Josephine's neck and s

    "Boss, are you not feeling well?" whispered Win who sat next to Nicholas. Nicholas turned to Win."No. Why do you ask that?" Nicholas replied. "You've been restless since earlier, not as usual. Is something bothering you?" Win asked again. "Or are you missing something?"They were in a meeting, where one of the Genesis Group's clients was giving a presentation about a project they were offering to the Genesis Group."After this, just end the meeting," said Nicholas in a bored tone. "I think I said that I don't accept proposals that are still raw. This is very boring."Win understood that right now Nicholas' mind wasn't focused on what was happening in front of him. He was thinking about Josephine and the three children who were playing in theme park."I'll clean up everything after this is over, boss. Besides, it's almost time for dinner," Win responded swiftly.Nicholas nodded while looking at the watch in his hand. A few moments later, escorted by several bodyguards, Nicholas came o

    "Take him away. We'll take care of it later, once I'm sure of Josephine and the kids'safety," Nicholas said coldly."Boss, boss, please, please, spare me this time, boss," Jake groaned shakily. "I didn't tell Stefano anything, just about today's event, boss."Nicholas smiled faintly. "You broke my heart because of this betrayal of yours, Jake, so I think I need to break your arm or leg instead. Or do you prefer, your neck?"Jake's face was white as a corpse. He fell to his knees on the floor. "Boss, I will give you important information that no one else knows, but please spare me, boss.""Hm? What information?" asked Nicholas interestedly. "Just telling me, maybe I could consider whether I would just break your arm, or just your leg, or ... your neck."Jake's face was wet with cold sweat and tears of fear. "Boss, actually there is no such person as Stefano Gills. Black Opium is being controlled by someone stronger and he is using the name Stefano Gills as a pseudonym," Jake said in a

    "Ugh, where am I," muttered Josephine, talking to herself. She held her dizzy head and groped her body, trying to find cuts or bruises.Apart from aches and pains in several places, Josephine was sure she was fine after checking several times to be sure. She is a nurse and she can tell when something is wrong with her body.Josephine woke up again to find herself lying in a pure white room. Her movement was free, but Josephine found the door locked and guarded. She didn't know where or what time it was."Hey, open the door!" Josephine shouted as she pounded on the door which was made of thick and sturdy wood. Josephine tried to remember where she had seen a door this solid and thick before. Hard to hear anything outside this door.She knew someone was behind the door, because there was a knock on something against the floor and there were shadows under the door, like someone was walking back and forth. Maybe it was a guard.Josephine looked around the empty square room and found nothi

    "You may leave this room every four in the afternoon until just before dinner. We will be watching you and delimiting areas where you can freely walk around. Don't touch anything, don't take photos or make videos, don't--""Sir, how can we take photos or videos while you guys confiscate our phones? You're so funny," Sky snapped angrily.The guard who was explaining the rules to Josephine and the triplets stared at Sky with sharp eyes, but Sky returned his gaze without showing the slightest bit of fear.Two other guards came into the room carrying two large foam mattresses, pillows and blankets. Then they left after arranging everything in a corner of the room.Not long after, they came in again, this time carrying a drinking water dispenser, glasses and a large box filled with snacks of all kinds and brands. They also brought new towels and toothbrushes."I don't understand why you didn't just put us in a room with facilities, instead of you having to bother transporting and bringing

    Day-2At the Adams mansion, Nicholas and his five main assistants--Ben Toreno, Win Derdien, Haruma Tora, James McCallum, and Kogha Lew, gathered in the main meeting room, having a video conference with several leaders of the Gold Dragon clan's main branch.They were chosen people who had worked for the Gold Dragon clan for a long time and were loyal to Nicholas. Gold Dragon clan has many secret branches all over the world and is well organized and tidy. Only the highest branch leaders can speak directly to Nicholas whom they refer to as The King.Nicholas immediately ordered Ben and Win to summon the branch leaders spread all over the world to conduct a video conference, informing them of his decision to hand over the Italian branch to the leaders of Black Opium, namely Stefano Pratos or Stefano Gills."Boss, we heard the news that you will hand over the Italian branch to Black Opium, how can you do that, boss?" asked Luciano Ari, head of the Brazil branch. "That Italian branch is the

    "Italy?"Josephine's eyes widened. Nicholas nodded with a smile. "Yeah. You know, our beach--La Luna, we haven't been there for a while. I think a week or two would be nice."Josephine chuckled. "What are you planning, honey?""Hey, what? I'm just taking you on a honeymoon."Josephine laughed and hugged Nicholas. She rested her head on Nicholas' chest and enjoyed his husband's heartbeat, which sounded calm and steady."Let's have our honeymoon at La Luna, honey. I want to go alone with you," said Josephine gently.Nicholas stroked Josephine's hair slowly. "Baby, let's retire for now and settle down wherever we want. I'll leave Genesis completely to Summer and Autumn, while you can entrust Farline to Flower. I guess, we've done enough and for now, let the children do the work." Let's give everything to them to take care."Josephine nodded and hugged Nicholas tightly. "Yes. Let's retire and live wherever we like. Maybe two months on La Luna beach, two months here, the next two months in

    "I can't say no, can I?" asked Josephine softly.Sky lowered his head, unable to meet his mother's eyes. Flower and Rain also lowered their heads, even Nicholas. The spacious room was cold and silent.Josephine was silent, deep in thought. He knew that eventually one of his six children would decide to continue Nicholas' work and it had to be done.She remembered the conversation she had with Nicholas a few years ago, when the first triplets decided to study at different universities in different countries."I will train one of my four confidants, to take control of the Gold Dragon," said Nicholas at the time. "Who do you think is the most suitable?"Josephine looked at Nicholas in surprise. "You don't intend to pass the Gold Dragon down to one of your children? Shouldn't that clan be passed down?"Nicholas shook his head with a smile. "I'm about to abolish that tradition, since I saw that among the first triplets no one was interested in doing so.""How do you know that no one is int

    "Daddy, you can't be like this," Flower complained, glaring at Nicholas. "You're a mobster and you're afraid of getting hospitalized?"Nicholas pouted. "Don't confuse my work with my illness, doctor," Nicholas snapped. "Anyway, it's just an influenza.""Come on, dad, admit it. You're afraid of needles, right?" urged Flower with a wink.Josephine laughed seeing the father and daughter argue. She took Nicholas's hand and squeezed it gently."He don't need to be hospitalized, Flower. Your daddy isn't afraid of needles, but he doesn't like the smell of disinfectant and how the nurses are going around checking him every hour," said Josephine.Nicholas took Josephine's hand gently and kissed her palm with a smile. "Your mommy really understands me, Flow."Flower pouted and sighed. "Mommy, you always spoil him. At the hospital, the equipment for examining and caring for him is more complete than when daddy is treated at home. I and my fellow doctors can also examine daddy freely there," said

    "This isn't our first project, is it?" Rain asked with a frown.Two of his men lowered their heads, avoiding his anger."Why is there still an error for a problem like this?" asked Rain annoyed."I admit my mistake, Mr. Rain," said Steven Bohn bravely. "The supplier of the floor we used to use suddenly informed us that the floor specifications we requested were not available due to a shortage of basic materials, so they offered a replacement at the same price. I had no idea that the replacement floor was not according to the original specifications."Rain sighed. "Take apart all the floors that have been installed and return them to the supplier. Find another supplier who can give us what we want, even if the price is higher. I don't want this project to have any flaws or defects, because the person who asked me to do this project is a very close and meaningful person to me. I don't want him to be disappointed!" Rain said firmly, then turned around and returned to his room.In the caf

    "Hold him, Flow," Sky called while holding the kid down with his feet. "He'll run away again if you don't hold his hand!"Flower snorted and took the small creature's hand that was trying to rebel."Come on, it's just a shower, why are you guys so unruly," Flower complained half angry. "Where did Rain go, why is he taking so long? Doesn't he know that these stray cats are getting bored?""Mommy help, help us, moooommmmyyyy ...!""Gosh, Summer, people will think I'm torturing you if they hear you scream like that," Flower said angrily."I don't like showers!" Summer shouted."Me too!" added Autumn."You too, Forest?" Sky asked fiercely.The little boy called Forest turned his head quietly while patting the water with his chubby hands. "I like baths. I just don't like you guys.""Jeez," Flower moaned.The three children in the big bathtub started to misbehave again, but before Flower and Sky could run out of patience, Rain came driving a plant sprayer.He started the engine and a large

    "Mom, why are you so pale? Are you sick?" asked Flower with a worried tone. She put her bag on the single sofa and approached Josephine who was lying straight on the long sofa while covering her eyes with her arms.Josephine lowered her arms and looked at Flower who was still wearing her middle school uniform."Flower, are you home already? I didn't hear you come in," said Josephine in a languid tone."I came in through the back door, because Madam Luan said you weren't feeling well since morning and lay here," Flower said. "What are you doing, mom? Do you have a fever?"Josephine smiled and stroked Flower's hair. "It's okay honey, just a little unsteady and nauseous. I think it's from a lack of sleep the past few days. You know, ever since Uncle Rocco came back to Italy for his honeymoon, I did all the research myself and the other day there was a bit of a problem at the distribution center so I have to go back and forth all day from the laboratory to the warehouse," said Josephine l

    "He ... You mean, Lucas?"Lindsay nodded shyly."You and him..." Janeth didn't finish, only raised her eyebrows, waiting for Lindsay to say something.Lindsay sighed. "I think I've managed to forget him and bury my feelings and memories about him, all these years. It's not easy for me. Even though you never met me at that time, I'm sure you know that I have to undergo psychiatric therapy too. One of them is to let Lucas go.""Yes, I know. I think you really need that. Your obsession with Lucas has hurt a lot of people at that time," said Janeth."Yeah, I'm aware of that. However, Lucas came back and kept coming, even though I never wanted to see him. Last week when he came, I finally decided to see him because I really wanted to end things with him, but ...." Lindsay hung up her words."He won't let you go?" continued Janeth with a smile.Lindsay blushed, took a breath, and nodded. Janeth laughed and hugged Lindsay."I'm so happy for you, Lindsay.

    "You're getting thinner," Lucas said sadly. "Did you eat well during this time?"He stared at the woman in the dull blue prison uniform in front of him. Lindsay is still beautiful with her hair cut short, even though her face is getting thinner and her eyes are dim.Finally, after Lindsay repeatedly refused visits during the nearly six years he was in this correctional facility, she also agreed to accept Lucas."What do you want, Lucas?" Lindsay asked quietly. "Why do you keep coming even though I keep rejecting you? Aren't you bored?"Lucas has never missed visiting Lindsay in the last five years. Every two months he would come, leave the food he brought with the warden because Lindsay never wanted to see him.Lindsay's cellmates were about to enjoy the food and after walking around for a while instead they were excitedly looking forward to Lucas' visit because it meant there was good food available.Lindsay stared at the floor, not daring to meet the eyes of the man she once loved,

    "It's not for me to judge who I'm dealing with," James said softly. "After all, you're still young. You don't know anything about the real world. You taking a decision like this, is a great big step. Your heart is good, only clouded by your parents' manipulation. Your mind is clear, only clouded by your sister's bad influence. When all the ugliness is gone, you dare to regain your purity. That's great!"Janeth listened to James' words with her head down. James' deep voice was pleasing to the ear and what he said was soothing to her heart.James reached out and took Janeth's chin, moving her up so their eyes met. "Cheer up. I'll wish you all the best. Tomorrow is the day, so you need to be completely healthy and ready."Janeth's eyes blinked slowly and her hand lifted, holding James' hand on his chin, then, Janeth brought her face closer to James and planted a kiss on the man's lips.James was stunned, frozen in the warmth of Janeth's ripe lips crushing his.
