Atty. Hector Pierpont made the necessary arrangements after the court trial. Diana was very impressed at his efficiency. Only a few days later, the lawyer met them at Anderson's Residence to deliver the documents. In it included the corrected birth certificate, which made Diana and her family teary-eyed.
At the Forrest Research Institute, Assistant Ethan Taylor handed her a new ID with her corrected name. Lucas had ordered them previously to update their records. Even at Henhall University, Lucas personally contacted their relative who is an Administrator. Marcus Forrest is Lillian's cousin and works hand in hand with his son, Remus Forrest who is the Assistant Administrator.
"No problem, Mr. Ingram. It will be taken care of." Marcus assured Lucas. Even if he is a cousin of Lucas's grandmother, he was still respectful of Lucas as if the latter was levels above him. Lillian was the only daughter of Lisander and Celestine Everhart-Forrest
Maconia, officially the Maconian Republic, shares land borders with Eskos, Athington, Mugrana, Proavania, Brieburg and Aclana. It has 60 million inhabitants. It is considered as one of the world's most culturally and economically advanced countries. The Barnes Clan have inhabited this country for many years putting up businesses, especially in the food industry where they are most successful. Winston Barnes, the eldest son of the main family of the Barnes Clan has inherited their restaurant business. He could be compared to Leopold Hargreave who has been dominating the food industry in Great Blackhampton. Winston could be considered the number 2 in the food industry. He has managed the Candlelight Kitchen and all of its branches in partnership with his wife Cassandra. Their son, Harlan, will soon inherit all of these when he's ready. When Cassandra decided to pursue Culinary, the Winchester f
"Here is the Chamomile Tea, Miss." The stewardess politely handed her the tea. "Thank you." Diana smiled. She was comfortably reclining on her seat. There were only a few people on board. Other than the staff, there was just her, Lucas, Kyle, and Emmett in Lucas's private plane. She was dumbstruck when she saw it the first time. It was only then that she realized why he told her not to worry about anything. There's even a room with a bed where they can sleep on. Glancing at Lucas who was in a video conference with his board members, Diana went back to reading her book. She took this chance to study in advance for her Medical degree. It might also come in handy when she starts to do the project. After a while, Lucas finished his video conference and went to get Diana so she can dine together. The plane even has its own section for meals as if they
The rooms that were prepared for them already had the necessities. Cassandra didn't want to assume that the couple wanted to share a room during their stay with them. So she prepared two separate rooms for them. They had plenty of rooms anyway. It's up to them whatever they want to do. When the couple had settled in, they came downstairs and joined the family for lunch. Winston's family came over as well to welcome the guests. "Diana! It's been a long time!" Old Madam Barnes hugged her. "Grandma.. How are you?" Diana smiled warmly. "I'm doing very well, dear. How about you? You've really grown up!!! You're even more beautiful than in the video calls!" Old Madam Barnes combed Diana's hair, her eyes twinkling. Winston's side of the family has only met Diana on the video calls but since Cassandra's family has kept close communication with Diana, they naturally look forward
Harlan drove his car with Willa in the passenger’s seat as they led Lucas’s car to one of his favorite spots. They stopped outside of a huge castle. It looked so medieval. However there were caretakers to maintain it and even a few staff to collect entrance fees, sell snacks and there was even a horse ranch just behind it. Diana gasped, amazed at how huge it was. You could tell that it has plenty of rooms as it had numerous windows and towers. A photographer approached them, offering his services. He could follow them around, taking professional-looking photos for a reasonable fee. Willa enthusiastically convinced them that they should hire the guy. The couple conceded, feeling silly at first as they were being followed around, and would every now and then stop and be instructed on how to pose so the photos would come out better. After a while, the two got used to it and didn’t even mind the
In the middle of the night, Diana stirred awake as she felt something akin to a stick, poking her leg. It would move slightly every now and then until she felt uncomfortable. Her eyesight was still blurry having just woken up. Having regained her bearings, in the dim lights, she could see an arm resting across her abdomen. She could feel soft breaths from the top of her head and a slight movement behind her. Hearing the soft snore, she recognized the person beside her as Lucas. She moved her body to face him but at that moment, he uttered a delicious moan. Her eyes widened in shock as she paused her breathing. She didn't dare to move even slightly anymore. However, at that moment, his arm that was across her abdomen, went downwards, lifting her leg towards him, making it rest on his shin rest on his buttocks. She was even more close to the stick now. He uttered another moan. 'Do I wake him up
Morning came and the two emerged from their separate rooms. Lucas went back to his own bedroom at dawn. The smell of waffles, sausage, coffee and bacon wafted from the kitchen as they came downstairs. "Oh! You're up! Breakfast is almost ready.. How was your sleep? Was the bed comfortable enough?" Cassandra asked, smiling brightly. Diana blushed, remembering what they did at midnight. "Mmn. I slept right away." "Yes. I did too." Lucas smiled mischievously that Diana secretly pinched his elbow, barely hurting him. "That's good then.. Later on, we'll go on a picnic with everybody." Cassandra told them. Since it's rare for Diana to come over, and especially bringing her fiance, they made time to gather and bond so they decided to have a picnic at a beach. At breakfast, there was only Winston, Cassandra and Harlan. Winston's side
Diana was startled at Lucas suddenly sitting on the sand next to her reclining chaise. He looked annoyed. “Something wrong?” She asked, massaging his frowning forehead until he relaxed. He sighed. “I met a succubus trying to abduct me.” She was at a loss for words. “Pfft! Hahahaha.. What are you talking about?” She was amused at his words and confused as to what he meant. He was only gone for a bit to get her some barbecue, and now he came back without barbecue and also looking annoyed. She looked towards where Kyle and Emmett still are, manning the barbecue. There was a woman wearing a very revealing bathing suit standing only a few feet from the two. She kept adjusting her bathing suit in front of the two. The men looked very uncomfortable. She finally understood what Lucas mumbled. “She touched you?”Diana said indifferent
“Back off!” He yelled at everyone as he made his way back to their group. “Help me bring my stuff. I’ll take her home. Can you follow us so I have a ride going back?” He asked one of his close friends, who nodded and did as he requested. They soon left the beach. Kimmy, who was covered with a big blanket, was shivering in anger, embarrassment, and confusion. ‘Why would they run from me? I’m beautiful. I’m hot. Are they not satisfied with my body? Maybe my boobs are not big enough.’ Having thought that it must be the reason, she decided to schedule an appointment as soon as she gets home. It looks like she needs to enhance her boobs and facial features more. Back at the beach, Winston’s family was disturbed by the commotion earlier. “What was happening back there? Why was it so loud?” Old Madam Barnes questioned. Seeing as Kyle and Emmett hav
