Zren leaned on the back of her chair and put both of her feet on the table. She played with the pen on one hand and used the other to hold her phone.“So you guys finally know the truth. Finally.”“How did you know?” Weidon replied with a question.Zren smiled and looked outside where she could see the small-looking building of Weidon’s company from her point of view.“Why don’t you guess? I don’t think you need a clue, I know you’re smart enough to figure it out.”The moment Zren let go of those words, Weidon’s gaze automatically fell on the flash drive plugged into the laptop. He took it out and sure enough, there was a small device plastered on it.Saven was about to curse when Zren spoke again.“I already proved my identity. I am not Celestine so let’s stop this hatred thingy. I don’t know you, you don’t know me. End of discussion.”Zren was about to end the call when she remembered something.“Anyway, Elcid, let’s just meet some other time, I have something to do later.”She swor
A child’s frustrated scream echoed throughout the hallway as two kids who exactly looked like each other exited the bathroom, running in Zren’s direction.One was wearing a grumpy expression, his eyebrows met with each other as he threw a sharp glare at the boy who exactly looked like him.“He kept interrupting me to pee! I hate him! He kept banging the door even though he knew I was inside!” Zhen aggrievedly told his mom about Xhyne’s annoying tricks. He buried his head in Zren's stomach to hide his teary eyes.“Hehe, s-so are you still able to pee?” Zren asked pretending that everything was fine while trying to look calm. Even though right now her heart was thumping like a wild boar inside her ribcage. She was freaking nervous!Meeting Weidon here was the last thing she ever expected!This damn destiny was really messing with her.Zren pulled the twins near her and squeezed their hands to comfort herself. She looked at Weidon whose expression was unexplainable.His eyes were glued t
When they reached their home, Zren accompanied the twins until they fell asleep, making sure that they were okay.After she confirmed that the two were already fast asleep. She exited the room and went downstairs.The lights were already off so the whole house was dark and silent. Only the dim light from the moon that pierced through the cracks of the curtains slightly lit up the place.When she reached her destination which was the kitchen, Zren didn't turn on the lights, instead, she used her phone's flashlight as a guide.She then opened the fridge and took out several cans of flavored liquor and some chips from the cupboard.Placing the things she just gathered on the counter and sit beside them, Zren opened a can of beer and the packaging of the chips.In the depth of darkness, Zren stared at nothing, she just silently continued to eat and drink with an uncaring blank expression.Her mind was full of thoughts, both good and bad. They confused and fogged her clear mind making her
The call had ended for almost five minutes now, however, Zren was still gripping her phone tightly even though the person she was talking with had already hung up.Zren didn't need to ask herself for the second time because the moment she realized what the other person meant, she knew who it was.Of course, who could it be if not Weidon?But what amazed her was that Weidon's connection was so fast, he immediately obtained her personal contact information in less than a day, just a few hours to be exact.The way he called early in the morning even though the sun had yet to rise completely meant that Weidon was so eager to know everything.He had just seen the twin last night and now he was so impatient that he called first thing in the morning disturbing Zren's good night's sleep.Even though Zren's body still wanted to lie down and go back to sleep, her brain wasn't cooperating. No matter how she closed her eyes, her mind was still running, thinking about possible things that may happ
The happenings flashed way too fast, and before Zren could react, Weidon's strong palm was already gripping her jaw and forced her to look him in the eyes.She really didn't expect that he would be going to react this way, it looked like his patience wasn't enough to endure everything for a long time just as she first expected.Zren knew that Weidon still highly doubted her identity. He thought that she was just making up another identity to fool him again.That was why earlier, Zren didn't act aggressively and chose the calm friendly approach. She acted dumb and playful when talking while purposely letting Weidon run around in circles.Weidon's main objective was to know the twins' identity, he wanted to know who their father was if it was him or what.However, since Zren set the momentum the moment she entered the room and didn't give Weidon a chance to speak what was in his mind, the topic diverted from the twin to her identity.Zren thought that Weidon was a hard bone to chew that
Whenever Zren remembered Celestine, her bad temper would always act up and the blood in her vessels felt like they were boiling in extreme anger. Her patience was as fragile as a thin strand of hair that could easily be snapped into two.Her anger towards that woman was immeasurable to the point that whenever she heard the name of that person, her anger issue would skyrocket to the extreme, enough to reach a place outside the earth.Even though it had been a decade, there was no way Zren would forgive that woman.After everything she had gone through because of her made Zren impossibly forget those dark bitter memories. "Stop bringing that woman into the conversation, I don't have time to listen to anything bullshit about her." Zren turned her back to Weidon and continued to search in the bookshelves.After some time searching, she finally found what she was looking for.Out of the bunch of books displayed on the shelf, Zren pulled out a thick brown album and held it in her hand.Bec
Truth be told, Weidon and Vinley actually knew each other, however, they were not acquainted with each other or had any close interaction before.Their family just belonged to the same circle of business, so they met a few times now. However, as for why a young master of a pretty well-off family was here working as a secretary for someone, Weidon really didn't know.But that was not the main issue right now, because if something got out of Vinley's mouth regarding Zren and him, Weidon was sure that in no time, troubles would be able to find their way in knocking on his door.If Vinley spoke outside even a little bit, those people who were watching him would soon gonna know and try to dig deeper about this matter, and worst the twins would be going to be found.As much as possible Weidon didn't want to let the public know about Zhen and Xhyne's existence in the meantime without drafting a concrete plan about the matter. There were so many things that he needed to consider and one of th
When they arrived at their destination, the four of them got out of the car."Seaside!" Xhyne exclaimed in excitement the moment he saw the crystal blue water from the distance.Without waiting for anything, he pulled his brother to the play on the seaside.Zhen didn't resist and let his twin pull him. Even though he did not say anything, he could not hide his shining eyes. They were bright and full of excitement."Do you guys often come here?" Weidon asked as he looked around. Based on the twins’ expressions it was not the first time they went to this place."Not that much. We only visit here if I have free time."Their surroundings were quiet and peaceful as there were no other people other aside from them.Weidon and Zren sat on a bench facing the sea.The sun started to settle turning the blue sky into a blazing fiery red sea of clouds. The water reflected the light from the ball of fire, making the water seem to shine like colorful glitter. The sea was calm and small waves crashe
Weidon forgot how to react at the moment, he sat on the bench with a back, not moving or even blinking his eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, as if an unknown force was stopping his body from doing anything.At that very moment, it seemed that his world was frozen; everything that surrounded him stopped moving, he couldn't hear or respond to anything, and his connection to the outside world was blocked.Weidon did not expect Zren to make such a sudden, bold move. He thought that she must at least do some preparation. However, it turned out that everything came in an entirely different direction.The direction that he least expected the most.To say such things as if they were just a piece of irrelevant information was truly unexpected; Weidon was not prepared at all.Snapped!Weidon was pulled back to the reality when he heard a crisp snap of fingers.He blinked a few times to regain his focus, only to see Zren's pale long finge

A child’s frustrated scream echoed throughout the hallway as two kids who exactly looked like each other exited the bathroom, running in Zren’s direction.One was wearing a grumpy expression, his eyebrows met with each other as he threw a sharp glare at the boy who exactly looked like him.“He kept interrupting me to pee!
