Sand KastleHi, guys! I apologize if you expected the grand reveal. However, there are still some issues that I have to dive deep into before we get to that. But, isn't it quite fun to see how this game plays out? I've already planned the reveal in my mind, and I promise that I'll make it very satisfying. Expect that it would be within the fifty chapters. See you all in the next updates!

All throughout his drive home, Zeth couldn't get the little kid's face out of his mind. Moreover, for some reason, he also wants to relive their conversation over and over again since it brought him inner peace. Talking to the child just felt so natural that it made him question his past beliefs. Zeth had never been fond of children. But the short conversation he had with the strange little kid made him believe otherwise. He pulled up into his driveway with a smile on his face. However, as soon as he opened the door, the smile on his face quickly fell. "Zeth," a woman exclaimed when he saw him coming into the house. Zeth's eyebrows furrowed when she smelled the woman's sickeningly floral perfume. "What are you two doing here?" "Zeth," his mother wiped the tears from her eyes. "We need your help." He looked at his father and saw the same distressed look on his face. He looked down at the ground and internally cursed in his mind. Just when he thought he was getting better, his p

Adriel's eyes widened in surprise. Is he already aware that she knows about his real identity? That he's Earl Gray's grandson rather than the farmer that she always thought he was? "Sir?" she asked, confused about the situation. Zeth chuckled coldly as he raked his hands through his already messy hair. He always looks kempt and well-dressed. However, today, it seems like he didn't get an ounce of sleep. "Stop it with your pretense," he smirked. "I already know everything." Adriel tilted her head to the side. What is he talking about? Is he really talking about the fact that she already knows about his real identity? But then, how does he know that? Only Daphne and her conversed about it during the weekends. "What are you talking about, sir?" "So, you're going to pretend like you don't know anything about this? Fine," he scoffed. "Be that way then," he leaned back on his seat and clenched his jaw. Adriel frowned. She honestly doesn't know why he's acting like this. All she wa

"Kayden?" Adriel asked, surprised to see the man she hadn't seen in four years' time. "Adriel," Kayden smiled at her. "I knew that it was you." "What are you doing here? I thought you were still staying at the farm." Kayden's expression darkened a little bit, but it went away in a blink of an eye. "Oh, I moved out of the farm about three years ago. I've been on my own ever since." "Oh, wow," Adriel said. "And you're now staying here in the city?" "Yeah," Kayden nodded his head. "I've got a small business just right around the corner," he said. "That's great. I'm happy for you," she genuinely said. Kayden has changed a lot since Adriel last saw him. If back then, he seemed a bit shy and reserved. Right now, he is exuding charisma and over-confidence. It's as if he changed into a completely different person. And Adriel doesn't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Kayden glanced down at the sandwich that Adriel was eating and frowned. "You're having a sandwich for

"Take this to the final editing team," Zeth handed Adriel a folder containing the copies of the new spring collection of the company's brand. "Yes, sir," Adriel said as she took the folder from Zeth's hand. "Make sure that only the final editing team gets a copy of this, alright? Don't go wandering around with these files at hand," he reminded. "Got it, sir," Adriel nodded her head and went out of the office. After Cedric and Zeth's conversation that day, Zeth gave Adriel only an adequate amount of work compared to the heaps of work that he used to give her. However, although her work situation has gotten better, it seems like their relationship is just getting worse. If back then, they could talk about casual topics during their breaks. These days, they can't even look at each other in the eyes for more than ten seconds. It breaks Adriel's heart every time Zeth avoids her eyes, and it makes her wonder if their relationship really doesn't have a chance anymore. She shook he

"What's going on?" Cedric asked as soon as he got to the highest floor. The entire building is in chaos after finding out that K brand had posted their new spring collection—the spring collection that looked like what they are trying to put out just next week. Adriel, who is currently feeling under the weather, shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Jo and Sir Zeth are talking inside his office. It seems to be a very urgent matter." Cedric stopped in his tracks when he saw Adriel's pale skin and lips. "Are you alright?" he gently asked. Adriel weakly nodded her head. "I've just caught a cold, but I'm alright. It's something that I can handle." "Have you drank your medicine?" "Yeah," she nodded. "Don't worry about me, Cedric. I think what Jo and Zeth are talking about is a much more serious matter than my cold." "Wait. Let me go inside," Cedric said and invited himself in. Adriel, too, trailed behind him to see what was going on. "What's wrong?" Cedric asked as soon as he saw Z

Zeth felt another sharp pain in his jaw, causing him to snap out of his thoughts. He covered his lip with the back of his hand when he felt blood dripping on the side of it. "What the fuck was that for?" he exclaimed when he realized that Cedric had punched him. "For being a fucking asshole," Cedric spat. "Shit, man. What has gotten into you?" he asked as he wiped the blood on his hand on his trousers. "What has gotten into me? What has gotten into YOU?! Ever since you talked to your parents, you've been nothing but an asshole. And you made Adriel the center of your rudeness even when she didn't do anything wrong!" "I'm like this because of her, okay? My life was going well. I had already forgotten about her! But then, she comes back to oscillate my fucking life. And she still has a hold on me as she did more than four years ago!" "That isn't an excuse, Zeth," Cedric said. "You're acting like Adriel's the one at fault for every little inconvenience in your life." Zeth clos

Zeth couldn't say anything. He was speechless. The kid that looked exactly like him just called him daddy, and he didn't know what to feel about it. One thing is certain, though—he doesn't hate the feeling. Just then, the two of them heard a thud coming from the bathroom, causing Zenon to snap out of his daze and hold onto Zeth's hand. "Mister, can you please help my mommy?" he sobbed. "My mommy is feeling sick." Zeth thought for a second that he knocked on the wrong unit, but for some reason, there was already a suspicion in his heart that he had entered the right one. And if his suspicions are right, his heart felt more at pain for all the unfair things that he did to Adriel. "Bring me to her," he said. Zenon didn't hesitate to pull Zeth to the bathroom. "My mommy was shaking, mister. And she went to the bathroom to take a shower," Zenon said, still sniffling. When they made it in front of the bathroom, Zeth kneeled down to Zenon's level and caressed his hair. Shit. Looking a

After Zeth made sure that Adriel was fast asleep, he gently got up from her bed and walked to the living room to meet the little boy that his heart had been missing ever since. Zenon turned around with wide eyes when he heard someone's footsteps approaching. He looked at Zeth in wonder as he sat down right next to him. The two of them stared at each other, looking as if their past and future selves were meeting for the very first time. There was one thing that's obvious when looking at the two of them—they were definitely related. "Zenon, right?" Zeth asked after a moment of silence. Zenon slowly nodded his head. "Yes, I'm Zenon. Is my mommy alright, mister?""Yeah," Zeth said as he ruffled his hair. "Your mommy's already sleeping in her bed. She's okay now."Zenon let out a sigh of relief. His mommy was everything to him, and hearing that she was going to be alright plucked a thorn out of his heart. "Then, are you staying here, mister?" he asked. Zeth scooted closer to him. "You

"Ooh la la," Adriel said as he ogled the man in front of her. Aria sat down next to her and also couldn't take away her eyes from the new gardener who was tending to grandpa Earl's garden. They had been in the villa for about a week now, and they were planning on going back to the city together in the next weeks or so. Right now, they were having afternoon tea on the porch. Adriel had already sent her kids to take a nap, so she invited Aria to eat outside on the grass since the weather was lovely. However, they were in for a surprising treat when they saw the new gardener that grandpa Earl had hired tending to the plants and grass. He was probably a 40-year-old male, and he seriously had lumberjack vibes. You know those types of men that you see in forests chopping wood up? Tall, muscular, and mature. It also doesn't help the fact that he's wearing nothing but a thin, white shirt that has already been drenched by his sweat, causing it to look transparent under the soft afternoon

"Baby, my baby," Adriel muttered in her sleep, her head moving from side to side. Zeth quickly opened his eyes to see what Adriel was talking about. He let out a sigh when she appears to be having a nightmare. "Angel," he gently said, patting her cheek softly. "Angel, wake up. You're having a nightmare.""No, don't take my baby away from me," she continued fighting him off. Zeth placed a chaste kiss on her lips, causing her to calm down. She opened her eyes slowly and was met with Zeth's reassuring face. Her eyes started tearing up, probably from all the tiredness and the hormones. "Where's our daughter?" she asked. Zeth smiled. "Our daughter is fine, angel. She's in the room next to ours," he said. Adriel finally let out a sigh of relief. In her dreams, she couldn't find her daughter, so when she woke up, she thought that everything would be the same. She buried her face in Zeth's face and inhaled his comforting scent. "I'm so happy," she said. "We have another baby in our live

"Oh my gosh," Aria exclaimed as soon as they arrived in the vicinity of the Zhang mansion. It was her first time coming here, and she couldn't believe that Kian hid the fact that they owned this kind of home from her. She knew that his family was rich, but she never even imagined that they were rich RICH. Kian scratched the back of his head, looking around the house where he spent his childhood in. All the good and bad memories came rushing to his mind—mostly the bad memories, though. Because of his family, he had quite a hard time growing up. If it weren't for Cedric, who was always with him when they were younger, then he reckoned that he must have gone insane. It's a good thing that his parents don't meddle with their lives anymore. As they grew up, they just started caring less and less. For Kian, that was better, though. At least now, he can choose the life he wants to live. "You okay?" Aria asked, looping her arm around his. Kian snapped out of his thoughts and tried his be

"Kian, Kian," Aria shook Kian awake as she looked at her phone in awe. Zeth had just sent her a text message, saying that Adriel had already given birth to their daughter, and there's nothing she wanted more but to travel to the province to see the precious little girl herself. She clicked her tongue as she shook awake her lover. "Wake up, Kian," she exasperatedly said. "Baby," she tried calling out her sweet nickname for him, but to no avail. She sighed and decided to bring out her final weapon. "We're not going to have sex for an entire month if you don't wake up right now."Like a magic spell, Kian woke up from his slumber and looked at Aria with wide eyes. "No sex? What? What's happening? What time is it?" he said, still drunk from his sleep. Aria smiled and held onto his arm, pulling him to stand up from the bed. "Let's go!" she excitedly said. "Where are we going, Aria?" He looked at the bedside clock. "It's literally 4 AM in the morning! Where do you want to go in this ung

Adriel rolled down the car window to let the fresh gush of wind run through her hair. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of the sharp grass and the fresh flowers. She was already eight months pregnant, and it's been getting harder and harder to manage her pregnancy each day since her due date was getting nearer. She's been feeling more nauseous in the city with all the pollution, so Zeth decided for them to stay in the province while waiting for her due date. Zeth chuckled as he watched his adorable wife smiling widely at the green scenery. Even if he'll be swamped with work the second he comes back to the city, he knows that it's better for them to stay here for the sake of Adriel's health. He's willing to do anything just to always make her feel at ease. "Aren't you feeling dizzy, angel?" he asked. Adriel looked back at him and shook her head. "No. The air over here is so fresh that I don't feel nauseous at all. Thank you for bringing me here despite your busy schedul

"Why are you so nervous?" Kian asked, looking at Zeth, who was pacing back and forth in the hotel room. "Fuck off," he said. Kian raised his hands up in surrender. "Damn. You don't have to be so sensitive."Zeth groaned and attempted to run his fingers through his hair. However, when he realized that his hair had already been styled, he quickly placed his hand down and continued pacing back and forth."You're making me dizzy, man. Sit down," Kian exclaimed. "Where's Cedric when you need him?" Zeth asked under his breath. "Hey," Kian said in an offended voice. "Your best man is right here!" he exclaimed, pertaining to himself. "Don't look for another person when I'm literally right here.""Yeah. You were my second option," Zeth deadpanned. "If Cedric didn't have to leave too early, then he would have been my best man."Kian rolled his eyes. "Whatever, man. You're stuck with me. And because you said that, I'm not going to comfort you. Instead, I'm going over to the bride's room upst

"How are you doing over there, bro? Have you been to the Eiffel Tower yet?" Cedric shook his head. "Not yet. I've never really gotten the chance to tour around," he said. Kian's eyes widened in surprise. "What? But you've been there for a week. You should go around the city when you have the time!" Cedric scratched the back of his head. "It's just that—It's hard adjusting to the atmosphere here. Besides, I took care of my papers for the company transfer, and I also finished furnishing my apartment. I didn't have any time to tour around." Kian sighed. "Are you deliberately staying in your own apartment?" "No," Cedric sheepishly said. "You're lying," Kian said. "I know that you're confining yourself in your own little space once again. There's no use in lying to me, bro. I know you like I know the back of my hand." Cedric clicked his tongue. "There's nothing interesting around here!" "You haven't even tried going out yet. How would you even know?" he asked. "Come on," Kian urge

“Let’s sleep,” Aria said after a heavy make-out session.“What?” Kian absentmindedly said, still dazed from the heated kiss they shared. Aria giggled. “I’m tired, honey. Let’s sleep,” she said, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.After a few seconds, the rise and fall of her chest started getting deeper—an indication that she had already fallen asleep. Kian looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “Aria,” he said.As expected, Aria had already fallen asleep. He closed his eyes as he placed one of his hands over his crotch. He felt his hardening member underneath his think cotton shorts. He let out a sigh of disbleief before pinching himself. "Calm down," he whispered to himself. He looked at Aria, who was peacefully sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but bite his lips. It has been about two months since they started their relationship, and everything has been great since then. Sure, they bicker from time to time, but it's really nothing serious.

“Adriel Summers,” he smiled up at her. Adriel looked down on her lover, still unbelieving of the current situation. Of course, she had imagined this a thousand times in her head. Being married to Zeth and having the opportunity to stay with him until the end of their lives was one of her greatest desires. Now that the moment had come, she couldn't help but be emotional. “You have changed my life in the best way possible, and I don’t think I can live without you anymore," Zeth said. “I love you so much,” tears started welling up in his eyes. “I see you every single day, and yet I still feel like I miss you. I love you so so much, but I still feel like I haven’t loved you enough. So, allow me to love you for the rest of our lives. I may not be able to promise a perfect relationship, but what I can promise is perfect love.” “Will you marry me?” he finally asked the question. It was a brief statement, but nonetheless, it was perfect. Tears started streaming down Adriel’s face the se
