Zeth looked down on the woman who was sleeping on top of his chest. He barely got any sleep last night since he didn't want to miss out on any moment of Adriel cuddling up next to him. Yet, he still feels as energized as ever, even if he only got three hours of sleep max.

He glanced at the bedside clock and saw that it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning—their supposed call time for today's photo shoot. However, Zeth didn't bother waking Adriel up because he liked having the woman sleep in his arms.

Again, he was the boss. No one would dare question him if he was late.

He brushed away the stray hair that covered her face, revealing her angelic features.

"Damn," he whispered under his breath, wondering how he got so lucky in this lifetime.

Jo impatiently tapped her foot on the floor as she looked at the door to Zeth's and Adriel's room. She had been waiting for them downstairs since 8 o'clock, and now it was 8:15, and they still hadn't moved out of their room.

Aria is my spirit animal! And Zeth and Adriel are getting more comfortable with each other.

    The group photoshoot had just finished, and Melanie and Samantha were still bitter about what happened. Because of that, they couldn't do very well on the shoot, making them look like backup models for Adriel and Aria. Adriel was looking through the photos with Zeth while Aria went to get a bottle of water. Her eyes lit up when she saw Cedric drinking a bottle of water nearby. "Hey," she said, causing him to turn around. "Did your photoshoot go well?" Cedric smiled widely, causing Aria to go into confusion. The last time she conversed with him, he was very reserved, and he didn't even smile at her once. Was he just in a bad mood back then, or did he turn into a completely different person? "Hey, pretty," he cheerfully said. "Yes, our photoshoot did go well." Aria's heart jumped in joy because he called her "pretty," but she still couldn't hide her confusion. The guy in front of him doesn't seem like Cedric at all. "Umm, that's good to hear," she awkwardly said. "I don't think

    "Wow, you're pretty." "Sorry?" Adriel asked, quite unbelieving of the statement she had just heard. The guy's face reddened as his friends started teasing him. He shook his head and smiled. "Nothing, nothing," he said. "I just want to apologize once more for disturbing you guys." "All is good," Adriel said, flashing the guy another smile. Zeth watched as the guy talked to Adriel with stars in his eyes. He unconsciously clenched his fists together as he looked at the scene in front of him. Who the hell does he think he is? Talking to my woman like that? "Calm down," Cedric quietly said next to him. "You look like you're burrowing a hole in his skull," Kian added. Zeth smirked. If he could do just that, then he would have done it when he first came over. "The guy's pretty handsome, isn't he?" Kian asked from beside him. Zeth heatedly glared at him, making him raise his hands up in surrender. "Jeez. If looks could kill, I would have been dead by now. I was just telling the truth!

    "Kayden?""Adriel," Kayden said, surprised. "What are you doing here?"She moved away from him since she already knew about the stealing incident that happened between their companies."Umm, just for work," she warily said.Kayden noticed the change in the way that she was treating him, and he knew the exact reason behind it. So, he put on an innocent front and acted like he didn't know anything."Are you okay?" he asked in a gentle tone.She pursed her lips together. "Yeah. I better get going now," she said and attempted to leave. However, Kayden held onto her wrist."Why do I feel like I did something wrong?" Kayden asked.Adriel turned around and looked him in the eyes. "I don't know, Kayden. Maybe you should ask yourself that," she deadpanned.Kayden frowned. "W—What do you mean? I don't remember ever doing anything.""Well, since you don't remember," Adriel said as she removed his grip from her wrist. "Let me remind you.

"Kayden, where are we going?" Adriel asked as they entered the elevator. "To my room," he said, tapping his foot impatiently on the ground as they made their way to his room. “I don't want to," she whined, still fighting his grip. "Keep still," he said through gritted teeth. "Don't make this any harder for you and me, and stay quiet, will you?" He dragged Adriel to his room as soon as the elevator opened. He pushed her inside and started taking his top off. Adriel felt a sense of urgency climb up her throat, and her mind detected that the situation didn't feel right anymore. However, her body can't cooperate with her mind. She scooted to the very farthest corner of the room. "What are you doing?" she asked. Kayden smirked. "What does it look like I'm doing?" Adriel was shaking from nervousness now. She g

If this was any other circumstance, Adriel would have been shocked by Zeth's sudden action. However, as of the moment, she couldn't think of anything other than Zeth's lips—and how she wanted his lips on top of hers once again. "There, is that good?" Zeth asked in a strained voice. He's using every nerve in his body not to kiss Adriel once again. "Mmmh," Adriel fervently nodded. She raised her arms up and wrapped them around Zeth's neck, bringing him closer to her. Zeth’s eyes widened in surprise by her sudden action. "More, please," she said. "Too hot—need water," she incoherently said. "Wait," Zeth squeezed out. He broke away from her hug to get another glass of water. He sat down on the bed and once again placed the cup over his lips, taking a sip from the coo

    Zeth did a double-take since he couldn't believe what just came out of Adriel's lips. He looked at her, speechless. Adriel chuckled and went closer to him, bringing her hands to touch both of his cheeks. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Zeth opened his mouth to say something, but he quickly shut them close when he couldn't come up with the right words. Adriel tilted her head to the side with a wide smile. "I'm assuming that you're shocked." "Am I still dreaming?" Zeth asked himself. Adriel shook her head. "No, silly. This is real. Are you saying that you dream of me?" "Every night," he mindlessly muttered. Adriel's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow. I never expected that from you." Zeth shook his head and gathered his chaotic thoughts. He held onto Adriel's hands, which were still placed on his cheeks, and looked her deep in the eyes. "Did I hear that right? Did you just ask me to be a part of your life and not only Zenon's?" Adriel looked into the man's sincere eyes and wond

    Adriel excitedly tapped her foot as she looked outside the car window. Their three-day shoot was already finished, and she couldn’t be more excited to go home. Although she really enjoyed her time at the beach, except for the incident with Kayden, she couldn’t wait to go home to see a certain little one. This is the very first time that they’ve been apart for so long, and she doesn’t think she can do it again.Zeth chuckled. “Why are you so excited, Angel?”Adriel looked at him with one eyebrow raised. “To see our son, of course! Why? Are you telling me that you’re not excited to see him?”Zeth's eyes widened in surprise. “No, no, that’s not what I meant, Angel.”Adriel chuckled. “I’m joking,” she said. “But I really miss Zenon. I can’t wait to shower his squishy cheeks with kisses once we get home.”Zeth smiled. “Me too. Want to go out later in the afternoon?”“Where to?” Adriel asked.“I don’t know. Where does Zenon want to go to?”“Well, the last time I asked him, he wanted to join

    Adriel sighed in relief as they finally achieved peace and quiet inside the car. After their touching conversation, Zenon got bored, so they were blasting nothing but nursery rhymes through the car's speakers for a good hour. As much as Adriel loves her son, there are really only a number of Cocomelon songs that she can tolerate. "Johnny, Johnny, yes, papa?" Zeth unconsciously hummed, making Adriel glare at him. He chuckled. "What?" "You better not sing that song again, or else." "Or else what?" he asked, still chuckling. "I might take back the words I said yesterday night, and you could find somebody else to sing those songs too," she threatened. Zeth's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly shut his mouth close—afraid that she was going to take her threat seriously. "How long until we get there?" Adriel asked. "About an hour more." Adriel nodded her head and glanced back at her child. She's happy that he can rest for an hour more before they arrive at the beach. "

    "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
