Graham town was three days journey from South City by road. No one wants to go on a tiresome journey like that, but Saffron is on budget, taking a flight would ruin her plans. At the same time, Graham town has no airport to begin with.

The serenity in the train scared Saffron. It was too peaceful and quiet for her situation. Although she loved atmospheres like this in the past, but recently, she preferred the noises and ruckus. It made her feel safe, knowing that there were people around her.

All that had happened in the Clinton’s household had driven Saffron into the stage of constant fear and a need to be at alert. She left the Clintons when the children weren’t around. If they wanted to find her, they won’t break a sweat to achieve that.

She sighed for the umpteenth time as she rested her head on the window. “Not like the Grahams are any better,” she sighed again and slowly closed her eyes, probably for some sleep– it was the third day anyway and she hasn’t been able to lully her

    The quarters for the orphans, called ‘Safe Haven’ was the opposite of the Grahams’ beautiful mansion. Although the orphanage was very large and contained around 10,000–12,000 children from different places around the world, it was poorly built with wood in the far end of the estate. The Grahams knew that couples who wanted to adopt children would grow mad if they knew of the poor environment the children were being brought up, despite the donations and contributions from people around the world, they came up with a strategy to build a better place, where couples could meet up with a few selected children to be adopted; according to the couples’ preference. That was why the government, private organizations, and individuals around the world who make donations to the orphanage haven’t been able to discover anything amiss. Saffron arrived at one of the wooden hostels and gently knocked on the door. After a few knocks, nobody answered the door, so she pushed the wooden door open and ent

    For the next few days, Saffron had nothing better to do other than to be at the field, planting. It’s been five days since she returned to the orphanage and Madam Graham didn’t ask for her like she thought. Everywhere seemed too peaceful to the extent Saffron almost believed that Madam Graham might have forgotten about her, because, in the past, no day went by without the Matrons yelling abusive words at her with the permission from the Madam.It would be nice if they truly forgot about her existence, that way she could peacefully take care of her pregnancy. While she was brooding, Alex came hurrying over.“Sister Saffy!” Saffron paused and looked in his direction, then sighed with worry. “I told you to stop running around. It’s still too early for you to be out. You aren’t even wearing enough to cover your chest. What if you catch a cold?”Alex had been running for a while and now, he was having a hard time catching his breath. “I – sister, grandma is at Safe… Safe Haven.” Saffron

    After the two women stated what they wanted, Saffron took a deep breath. They aren’t the only ones with evil intentions anyway. Since they aren’t giving her any choices, they can’t blame her for giving them another man’s child. After all, once she gives birth to this child, she’d make sure not to have another. Once she had concluded what she wanted to do in her mind, she said, “Marrying your crippled son came with a mouth-watering benefit that I cannot reject…”The two old women smiled broadly. However, before they could wallow in their happiness, Saffron continued.“...however, I cannot just accept the offer, unless I see him, talk to him and I’m sure he’s also willing to be with me.” Saffron didn’t ask for too much. It was quite reasonable, but Madam Graham and her friend didn’t find it cute at all. “What do you mean by that, Saffron? Are you doubting my words?” Madam Evelyn frowned with displeasure. “Absolutely not, Madam Evelyn! I was–”“Saffron! Have you lost your mind? My frie

    Madam Evelyn’s mansion was opulent; the Graham’s Mansion can’t hold a candle to it. “My daughter-in-law, please, have a seat and do feel at home. Marrin, get your new madam a glass of water. Have the other servants prepare her brother’s room. As for my daughter-in-law, she’ll stay in her husband’s room, but for now, prepare a guest room for her,” the old woman smiled while dishing out orders. Saffron just stood by the entrance to the massive living room without uttering a word. When the servant came over to send them to their rooms, Alex refused to leave until Saffron encouraged him to.After Alex left, Saffron finally turned to her would-be mother-in-law. “Ma, can I see your son now?”The old woman’s face suddenly changed, but in the next second, her lips stretched into a forced smile, “I thought we already talked about this? Why are you bringing it back up?”“Nothing ma, I’m just too excited to see my husband….” Seeing the old woman was starting to give her a strange attitude, she

    Curiosity killed the cat, they said, and it seemed like that was the case with Saffron… The whispers of crickets broke the serenity of the chilling night. The moon failed to grace the horizon with its beauty, but the stars stood dominant, twinkling in glee as they led Saffron towards the unknown. Every righteous soul was sleeping in the late hours of the night, but Saffron was tramping warily towards the lone building at the back of the mansion... Clearly, she shouldn’t be here; she was warned not to. She knew she was breaking the rules, yet she threw caution to the wind the moment she decided to give in to her curiosity. “I can't stop now, I have every right to see, know, and speak with my would– be husband before the wedding,” she mumbled in a bid to convince herself to not give in to the fear she was feeling. Her mind would drift in and out of different thoughts that she paid little to no attention to the eerie howls of the wind… the further she went, the colder the wind, and w

    Madam Evelyn glanced at the briefcase loaded with money but refused to touch it. “Young man, I think you're at the wrong place. All the chefs we have were–”“I don't mean your servants.”The woman raised a brow, “Is that so? Then may I know what chef you are talking about?”“Saffron.”The old woman paused for a moment, then leaned back and said candidly, “We don't have a person with that name here.”“Want to have a word with your friend in the Graham estate?” Madam Evelyn snorted, ‘That shameless betrayer!’ She grabbed her cup of tea and took a sip. After a long while, she replied, “Everyone knows that woman to be a pathological liar, who would do anything for money.”“And what do we call you who would do anything to breed children for your hybrid son.”How did they find out? Did Madam Graham tell them? No, she can’t, she wouldn’t, she dared not! The old woman was furious. When money is involved, Madam Graham wouldn’t even hesitate to sell her organs even if it means she’d die, just

    An hour later, Caspian caught the faint sound of footfalls on the stairs. He looked up to see her standing there on there, stunned. She must have been surprised to see him, he thought and took his eyes off her and continued with his smoking. So her ‘imagination’ was real? The man who saved her was Caspian?! Saffron couldn’t seem to move her legs. It felt as though she was stuck. Her heartbeat started racing and she had the urge to run for dear life, but to where? She didn’t even know where she was and how she was supposed to run away without Alex. Once she came to that realization, she swallowed down her fear and nervousness and decided to face her reality. She summoned courage and walked down the stairs. Standing a safe distance away from him, she bowed slightly and greeted, “Young Master Caspian.” The man ignored her and continued to puff out clouds of smoke.Seeing that he wouldn’t speak to her, she assumed that he was angry at her, so she looked up at the sterned-faced Gerald w

    “You have no choice!!” he roared which sent Saffron trembling. Picking the glass of drink on the table, he ordered, “Send her back to her room,” then gulped down the whole content in the glass. She shouldn’t have made him have a taste of her, and now, he can no longer get her body off his head. It was her fault, all her fault for making him cheat! He slammed the glass on the table and broke the cigarette with fire in his eyes. Just as Gerald was about to step forward, Jenny sauntered in from the kitchen, “I’ll send her to her room,” she said curtly and proceeded to take the shaken Saffron away. As they walked up the stairs, Jenny had her keen eyes on Saffron and she could see her subconsciously hugging her stomach as she took unbalanced steps up the stairs. Jenny narrowed her eyes on her. She was a woman and probably understood.At the door, just as Saffron was about to open her door and get in, Jenny stretched out her arm and blocked the entrance, causing Saffron to look up at her.

    Warning: R18 chapter. As the water touched his tanned skin, his tensed muscles slowly relaxed and he slowly closed his eyes to bask in the pleasure, in spite of the discomfort from his rod and the lust his mind was nursing. All of a sudden, he felt her butt pressed against his rod as she bent over to wash her legs. She bolted up and apologized, “Sorry, it was unintentional.”Hell, it couldn’t be any more intentional! Caspian swallowed, “I– it’s fine,” he said it was fine but his rod was throbbing and his heart was beating erratically. Seeing she was looking at his erection, Caspian made an attempt to cover it but it was for nought. Lily shifted her gaze away but blushing cheeks and tried to speak but decided against it and flattened her lips. “You can stay in front,” she moved away to create space. “And you?... What about I just leave?”“You’re wet already... I might also use your help to scrub my back.” Caspian opened his mouth to speak, but changed his mind and nodded instead

    “They were in love?” “So it seemed.” “And your parents?” Lily queried. “I made my father resign and sent him and my mother to our ancestral home. They won’t return until I’ve dealt with Sebastian.” “What do you intend to do to him?”“He doesn’t deserve a jail sentence.”“Why? He’s still your brother after all.”“He aided Celina to kill you. He attempted to take my life several times… I could have forgiven him and just handed evidence of his wrong doings to the court, but he went as far as to produce a virus which turns humans into hybrids.” Lily froze and her mind jolted back to Madam Evelyn’s son’s condition… Was that it? As if he read her mind, Caspian further said, “The man you were almost forced to marry was a victim of Sebastian’s virus.” “What happened to him?”“I took him to my facility. The antidote is almost complete.”Soon enough, they arrived at a small town. They breathed a sigh of relief and went in search of a means of communication. Not long, they found a phone

    “No.”“Why? You have no sympathy for traitors.” “Because you’d be sad if I killed her.”Lily turned her head, meeting his gaze. “But I was dead.”“I never believed you died.”“Why? I could have burned to ashes in that flame.”“No body was found.”“But the news said otherwise.”“I made everyone believe so. I needed to fetch out everyone who was involved… and I did.”“But you didn’t hurt Celina.”He stretched his hand and brushed off the strand of hair from her face while saying, “You wouldn’t know.”“If you tell me, I would know.” Caspian gazed at her face for a long time before he pulled away and got up. “We should hurry along. I can spot light coming from up there.” He pointed to his right. Lily looked in the direction and indeed, there was a glow. She got up and the two resumed their walk. “After I found out, I didn’t kill her not because I couldn’t, but because she once saved my life. However, I couldn’t let her go scot-free, so I took power from her father.” “But she’s still

    Meanwhile, almost an hour later, at the bank of the river, far from where the accident happened, Caspian was performing resuscitation on Lily who didn’t look like she’d be waking up any time soon. “Saffron!” he yelled in panic and went back to applying pressure on her chest. “Please, don’t leave me again, I beg you. Wake up! I can’t continue living without you!” He pressed and pressed, still nothing but he didn’t give up. His eyes had turned red from crying. Caspian was almost going crazy as he pleaded with her to wake up. After countless struggles, she suddenly coughed out water.“Saffron?” He watched her slowly open her eyes before he hugged her with so much force that he almost squashed her. Not until she powerlessly patted his back did he let go. He wiped his tears, “Thank you for coming back to me. I’m glad you didn’t leave me again.” Without warning, he sealed her lips and kissed her desperately for a long time before he pulled away. Lily was conflicted. Did he truly love h

    At the parking lot... Lily strode to her black car. Before entering, she turned to the guards following her and ordered, “I want to be left alone. Watch over my grandfather. Tell him I won’t come home tonight.” The guards didn’t want to obey but after thinking it through, they nodded and stepped aside. Lily got into the car and fastened her seat belt. Just as she was about to start the car, she saw Caspian standing in front of her car. She looked through the window, Caspian’s guards and hers were in a standoff. At this point, she knew he won’t let her drive off if he didn’t get the audience he wanted, so she unlocked the door. When he entered the front passenger seat, Lily queried, “What are you doing?” Clearly she was displeased. “We need to talk.”“Schedule a meeting with the company. I don’t entertain– ““No, Saffron, this is not about business. Five years ago– ““It seem you won’t give up harassing me. Get down from my car, otherwise I’ll press charges for harassment.”“I’ve

    Time was slowly ticking away and soon enough, some free spirits were already on the dance floor. Lily finally put on her beautiful mask, thinking to find herself a serene place to sit, away from the rowdy crowd. All of a sudden, someone crept up on her and his calm voice made her freeze.“Ms. Rothschild, can I have this dance?” Caspian…What the hell is he doing here? She didn’t invite him... Unless... Her mind snapped. It was her grandfather. So this was what he was talking about? She looked around the place for her grandfather and saw him drinking an laughing with his friends. Maybe he felt her gaze on him, he looked her way and beamed at her with his wine glass raised. “Cunning old man,” she mumbled under her breath. Caspian was already here. It would be unwise to ignore him. She slowly focused her mind. His hand was outstretched. She trailed her gaze up to his black mask and back to his hand. She knew that a day where she would have to speak to this man would come. She had p

    “Do you remember what your father told you and your brothers on the day Saffron died?... He told you that Old Man Anderson wanted the Clinton family to use their resources to look for his granddaughter.“However, the next day, he rejected a meeting with the Clintons and ever since then, he had been suppressing the Clintons and putting pressure on the business… I want to boldly assume that Saffron and Lily have a connection, otherwise, Alex wouldn’t go up to her, nor would a heartless businesswoman like Lily care about Alex to the extent of giving him her Trophy.”As though a light bulb went off in his mind, he snapped, “Where is the invitation card to the Rothschild evening party?”“I left it in the car when you asked me to throw it away.” Before now, Caspian had only heard of Lily but never saw her as she also don’t show herself on TV. When he suddenly received an invitation from old man Anderson to attend the party, he thought the man was up to no good. How could someone who neve

    At the Rothschild’s mansion. Lily got home and went straight to her room. Her grandfather was sitting in the sitting room but she didn't even notice. The old man watched her climb the twirling stairs until she disappeared before he returned his gaze back to the event on the TV. He saw everything that happened at the event. Didn't she say that her heart was dead? Just today and she couldn't even hide it from that child. The old man smiled and shook his head. “How far can you go, child?” He heard how deep their connection was. They were like mother and child. He suddenly sighed as his gaze down casted. It was his fault. If he had taken that boy five years ago, his granddaughter wouldn't be sad right now. On second thought, if he had taken the child, Caspian who had been turning the country upside down in search of Saffron would have caught on. “Margaret!” the old man called. “Yes, Master,” an old woman hurried over from the kitchen and bowed slightly to the old man. “Lily just a

She’s not like you and your cohort!” Alex was quick to fire back. “Shut up, you little viper!” Celina had completely lost her mind and couldn’t care less about what the repercussion would be. “Miss Celina, on behalf of Miss Rothschild, we shall sue you for defamation of character.” Lily’s PA threatened. “Your threats cannot do me shit. Let her prove that she didn’t sleep her way through!” “Call your girlfriend to order. She’s overstepping.” Alex frowned while telling Caspian. “We broke up five years ago… she’s nothing to me.” Caspian replied casually while his gaze was fixed on Lily who was still standing there and looking at Celina. “Caspian...” Celina froze when she heard his casual statement.
