Fia could only look on in silence.She then took a few more photos while she stared at Conrad kneeling on one knee without fear.With how he was acting, he wouldn’t give up even if she were to take and publish photos of him being naked!“Mommy, the backyard is a lot of fun! Do you want to...”The two children ran in holding hands as Irene yelled out happily. Then, she went silent when she saw Conrad kneeling.Mrs. Taylor was also quite shocked when she came in together with them.“What are you doing?!”“His leg hurts!” Fia said, worried that he would say something outlandish.With the twins looking at him, Conrad slowly got up. “That’s right. I’m resting a bit because it’s getting painful.”Mrs. Taylor asked, “Can’t you sit down and rest?”“It was quite sudden and I couldn’t get there in time.” Conrad walked toward the sofa and sat down.Fia wanted to leave with the two kids. When she saw Conrad’s eyes, she quickly dragged them away.“Thank you for the meal, Mrs. Taylor. We
“Say it!” Fia was somewhat fierce. She rarely treated her children that way.“Madam, please don’t scare the kids.” Sophia tried to calm her down.“Oh, Sophia.” Fia sighed. “Even without showing your face, Conrad probably had already figured it out.”Sophia didn’t dare to say a word.Fia smiled bitterly. “Why? Even if you’re with me, your loyalty doesn’t lie with me.”After a few seconds, Sophia whispered, “You misunderstand me. I’m always loyal to you.”As the two kids were still present, she said nothing. Once they were back in the hotel, the two children stayed in their room to watch TV.She called Sophia to the balcony. “I’m going to tell you the same thing. Go back. Sophia, you know that by staying close to me, you won’t get Lucifer’s loyalty anyway and I can’t protect you. If he really wants to do anything to you, I can’t interfere.”“Madam, I’m not asking you to do anything for me,” Sophia said sincerely.Fia shook her head. “I can’t do it even if you don’t request anyth
“Fia, if you go to him… I’m warning you that I’m capable of many things.”Fia could hear how brutal Lucifer was even through her phone.“I never wanted to do this. I remember what you did for us. The twins know it too,” Fia said in a gentler tone. “But you can’t prompt the kids like that behind my back. I almost went crazy when I thought I lost them.”There was silence from the other side for a few seconds. “It’s my fault.”Fia was getting very annoyed. She couldn’t continue the fight once he apologized... If only he didn’t.Lucifer then said, “But I didn’t want to harm them. I asked my men to keep an eye on them. No one can touch them,” Lucifer explained.Fia nodded. “Thanks. It’s getting late. Rest well.”“Wait!” Lucifer quickly said. “I’ll pick you up in, at most, one week.”“Where to?” Fia frowned.“Back to our island.”“That’s not possible, Lucifer. The kids need to see the world. Back on the island, they never even see anyone else other than the two of us. They didn’t k
Someone was knocking at the door. Tiger, who was about to undress, went to open the door as he grumbled.“Silas, can’t you wait until tomorrow morning? I’m going to bed al...”Tiger was stunned when he saw who was outside.Sophia removed her hat and mask, looking at him with mixed feelings.“Am I disturbing something?”“No! Come in.” Tiger quickly went in and put his clothes back on. He then looked at Sophia, who walked into his home with a blush.“About that... Can I get you something? Do you want to have dinner?”Sophia looked at how anxious he was, and she felt bad.“It’s already so late at night. Of course, I’ve already had dinner.”Tiger then scratched his head awkwardly. “That’s right. What about supper? Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”Sophia walked up to him.There was less than a step between them, and they could hear each other breathing.“You love me, right?” Sophia raised her arms and put them on Tiger’s shoulders.Tiger frowned, lookin
She truly understood love when Tiger looked for her in the shadows.In the beginning, she simply felt upset for him as they were colleagues. Like she owed him something. However, there was nothing special there.Slowly, it touched her heart.However, she still believed that Fia and the children were more important than Tiger.Tiger looked at her, understanding her heart.“Alright, I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait until the day all of you are no longer under Lucifer’s control. I’ll wait.”Sophia looked at him, stunned. “You’re a fool.”“You’re not that smart either.” Tiger walked over and patted Sophia’s head. “Silas was right. We shouldn’t have let you leave the camp.”“A girl that has never seen the world can be deceived so easily.”“Really? Then you have to be grateful that Madam isn’t a boy,” Sophia said as she held her tears back.Tiger sighed. “I’ll get some blood.”“Sure,” Sophia said as she removed her jacket, revealing her slender arms.When Tiger came back with a syrin
Sophia was irate. However, she didn’t dare to get angry in front of Conrad.She turned around and her eyes met with Conrad’s. She couldn’t help but look away.“I’m just here to see Tiger. I’m not up to anything.”Conrad then walked into Tiger’s home and closed the door. He leaned against the door, stopping Sophia from leaving.Sophia was speechless.Tiger quickly said, “Sir, Sophia has a question for you.”“Sure.” Conrad nodded lightly, but his eyes were still locked on Sophia.“You have something to ask, right? Ask.”Sophia gulped. “About that... Tell Tiger to leave. I’ll ask you alone.”Conrad nodded. “Sure.”Several minutes later, Sophia looked at Tiger leaving... But not without some fruits and milk. She was worried it would get too cold for him if he waited outside.“Don’t worry. He’s probably going back to the company,” Conrad said.“Sure.” Sophia was feeling awkward, her hands still on her legs.“Do you still love Madam?”Conrad looked at her in peace. “What do you
The restlessness became even worse when it was already the next morning.She could already smell the scent of breakfast the moment she opened the door.Lucifer was wearing a white casual outfit. He looked so clean and handsome.“Why are you suddenly here?”“I missed the kids,” he said as he prepared the breakfast table. “They’re still asleep?”“Yeah.”“Go and wash up, then have some breakfast. I’ll get them up,” Lucifer said as he walked past her into the bedroom.Fia was frozen in place before going to Sophia’s bedroom.When she opened the door, there was no one inside. She anxiously and quickly went to look for Lucifer.“Where’s Sophia?”“We’ll talk about her later,” Lucifer said flatly before bending down and pulling the blanket. He then gently called, “Wakey, wakey, my two little cubs. Wake up and have breakfast.”Adrian and Irene immediately opened their eyes, filled with spirit.“Daddy!”“That’s right!” A smile appeared on Lucifer’s face as he took Irene’s jacket and
“That’s right, it’s a misunderstanding. Mommy, Daddy... Don’t fight,” Irene said as she gave both her parents a sausage each.Fia and Lucifer didn’t say anything and quietly ate as their kids needed the peace.After breakfast, Lucifer asked the children, “Do you still want to stay here?”Adiran and Irene said, “No.”“You don’t enjoy it here?” Lucifer’s blue eyes formed crescents.Adrian said, “The hotel is nice, but it’s not as warm as our home.”Irene pouted her mouth. “That’s right. The hotel room is big, but it’s not as pretty as our home.”She looked at Fia, “And Mommy decorates our home to make it look pretty!”Lucifer glanced at Fia and asked the kids, “Should we go back to the island?”“Yes!” Adrian and Irene said without hesitation.Fia’s expression darkened. “Why are you guiding them to go back? They don’t know what that means... They only agreed to it because they need you!”“Adrian and Irene need me. How about you?” Lucifer’s blue eyes became even darker.Fia fro
