After getting out of the car, Xavia told him to look the other way… and seconds later, he felt Xavia’s hands covering his eyes. He didn’t question it, and after being led for a while, he heard Xavia say, “Alright… I hope you like the surprise…” Following that, she removed her hands, revealing a large, brilliant structure that almost seemed to glow… and at the very top, the words, ‘Xanon World’ were presented in gold-plating… How had such a massive project gone unnoticed by him this entire time?! Especially when he was so close to this place! Sensing his confusion, Xavia explained, “So… I had a little help from Chace for this. Basically, I had him block out all news about this place for the longest time, but putting that aside, you should know that I designed every inch of this place! Come on, I’ll give you a tour!” While listening to her explanation, Zivon couldn’t help but smile wider and wider… After all, he couldn’t imagine just how much thought and love she had put into mak
It took him a while, but he eventually rubbed his temples before muttering, “…I know I told you to always strive for the best, but… Is this really where you should be putting your time into…?” Chuckling in response, Xavia replied, “Sorry, but I’m afraid you’re still not aware of my genius… See, this heart-shaped glass building has a height of exactly nine-hundred and ninety-nine meters, which makes it the tallest building in the world! Even Chace told me that this building is record worthy, so… As my lover and teacher, don’t tell me you’re still dissatisfied after witnessing such a grand feat…?” Squinting slightly, Zivon pulled Xavia close before saying, “…Are you sure you want to be this cheeky with your professor…? Hmm…? Looks like a little punishment is in order…” Just like that, his lips were already on hers, and Xavia found her eyes widening! To think that he’d kiss her out of the blue! Well… Whatever. After rolling her eyes, she then began returning the kiss… And by the t
Watching as all that happened from below, Zayne couldn’t help but mutter, “…Can we leave yet?” “I am, at least. The last thing I want is to disrupt their romantic moment,” replied Bianca as she began walking off. Upon hearing that, Chace quickly ran up to her and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a surprise on our anniversary too! I won’t be outdone by other lovers that easily!” Rolling her eyes, Bianca replied, “As long as it’s a gift from the heart, anything is fine.” Being the businessman he was, Chace had always given her opulent gifts such as luxurious yachts and even helicopters! However, none of them really felt like they were given with much thought about her… She’d rather have something simple but heartfelt… Sensing how unimpressed she was, Chace then said, “…You know I’m a businessman, not an inventor like Zivon, right…? Maybe I should pick up a trick or two from him…” “Sounds good. I’ll be waiting then,” replied Bianca, leaving Chace slightly speechless. That had
The more she thought about it, however, the more she realized that Zayne had… changed. Sure, he was nowhere as great as Zivon was, but… compared to before, Zayne was no longer the carefree man that she used to know. At the end of the day, she was the only one who had barely improved after all this time… Since she wasn’t replying, Zayne couldn’t help but smile helplessly as he added, “…What? Have you given up on loving me…?” Upon hearing that, Dolly simply shook her head. After all, that wasn’t the case at all… She simply felt like that was a slowly increasing distance between them, but… She didn’t know how to put it into words. Even if she could, she felt that saying it would only make it seem like she was overreacting… At the end of the day, weren’t all lovers meant to slowly drift away like this? Well, almost all… Zivon and Xavia had the real deal. Since she still wasn’t replying, Zayne eventually muttered, “…Look, I don’t know if you think that I’ve been ignoring you on purp
Fast forward to the day of Xanon World’s grand opening, Xavia received a plethora of awards as expected. Naturally, this meant that there were reporters plaguing her from left and right as well… “Did you design everything yourself, Mrs. Burton?! Did Mr. Burton help you at all?!” was one of the questions, and before Xavia could reply, Zivon suddenly stood right next to her! “She designed everything as a gift to me… Truth be told, I’ve just learned about this building recently as well.” “So she did design everything! How impressive! May we know what prompted you to create this grand structure, Mrs. Burton?” Smiling in response, Xavia replied, “Sadly, that’s a secret that only my husband and I know…” “Aww… Well, you heard her, folks! That aside, what do you think about her gift, Young Master Burton?” “Easily the third best thing I’ve ever been given. The second, being the kids she blessed me with, and the top… Well, her giving herself to me,” replied Zivon, instantly bringing
On the very next day, Dolly suddenly called Xavia out… and when they finally met, she was quick to say, “Congratulations on your grand success, Xavia! Let’s celebrate by taking a trip together!” “…Huh? Don’t tell me you’re still quarreling with Zayne and using me as an excuse to escape…” muttered Xavia. Shaking her head, Dolly replied, “No, no, we’re all good now… We’ve already agreed that he’s the breadwinner while I’m his bimbo, so there’s really nothing else to worry about. That aside, I just felt like we haven’t had a proper trip in like, what? Two years? After all, you’ve been busy with the kids, and well… all that had happened. So? What do you say? A trip with all of us together…” After giving it some thought, Xavia pursed her lips before muttering, “…I’d… rather not…” Recalling Fiona’s assassination attempt, Dolly was quick to say, “…I assure you that the same won’t happen again, especially now that we know better… If you’re still worried, however, feel free to get your
...But… Just the memory of Zivon getting stabbed, and the kids being thrown out into the sea… It was just too much…! “…How sure are you that this place is safe…? Sure, we no longer have any notable enemies now, but I really can’t afford to face another Fiona incident…” Upon hearing that, Chace replied, “Not to worry, we did a thorough security check, and the only crew members on board are people that we already know. No outsiders.” “Indeed. Zivon would never let lightning strike twice, and if something bad does happen, then feel free to end things with him!” added Zayne, prompting Zivon to glare at him. What the hell was he even saying?! Thankfully, Xavia found Zayne’s joke amusing enough to stop worrying for a bit… and before she could reply, Nathan walked up to everyone with a team of elite bodyguards following him! After a bow, Nathan said, “Fear not, Mrs. Burton. Aside from the bedrooms, every inch of the ship has cameras installed, so nobody is doing anything vile undete
“…Why did you only take close-ups of me?” Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “Isn’t photography all about the people in the pictures? And with how stunning my wife is, it only makes sense for me to take portrait photos of you…” “…Hey, the point of taking vacation pictures is to have the scenery in the background so that we can recall our fond memories. Don’t even think about sweet talking your way out of this one!” “Fine, fine, I’ll just take more, then…” Sadly, his scenery shots were… mediocre at best, and Xavia ended up shooing him away and telling Dolly that they should just take their own photos. As expected, Dolly agreed, and within seconds, the women were gleefully snapping away and praising each other’s shots, leaving the men speechless. Oh well… In the end, the trio simply sat in their sun chairs and enjoyed the view of their girls having fun all the way till evening came… With how glorious the evening rays were, Dolly couldn’t help but jump around like an enth
