Prologue: Little Devil

It was another blissful afternoon in the neighborhood and a car can be seen with heavily tinted windows navigating through the main gate as the entrance towards the renowned Marquez mansion. The tall and lean men in black suits guarding the entrance didn't spare a glance at the familiar and already registered car as it drove past them and instead settled their eyes at the quiet and peaceful neighborhood while speaking to the other men in their earpiece who heavily monitored the actions of their surroundings, ready if there was any threat coming. Hidden from the curious eyes of the neighborhood of high and wealthy socialites, inside the car seating in the spacious backseat alone was a woman taking off her sunglasses, revealing the fury hidden in her monolid eyes. Her temperament against the dim light of the car was as pale but as elegant as the freshly bloomed white tulip flowers in the garden they had passed. The woman wipe off the heavy makeup on her

Chapter 1: Busy Morning

Ten meters away from the Marquez mansion is where the front garden rests, the blooming flowers were perfectly placed by rows and columns as they were molded into different shapes, yet creating an illusion of a plain snow field in a far distance, where barely a mistake of imperfection is impossible for a naked eye to spot.The flowers were radiant in the morning planted from the rich and fertilized soil imported from the Capital of Shangwei. The hot breeze, rustle and brush through the branches of the trees in the corner, causing the rotten leaves to fall and flew away in one direction. With the identical height of the pine trees, it covered and over towered the high fences as it gave off a masterpiece like the nature's fine artwork itself, its fine shadows blending through the scenery.The freshly bloomed white tulips blossomed without effort and the ends of its transparent petals stretched remarkably, lively and welcoming the fine weather in the morning as they glow u

Chapter 2: Surprise!?

Hearing the muffled sound of birds chirping outside, Hillary's eyes flutter open and a small head under her nose marveled her sight. A warm smile emerges from her lips as her nostrils welcomed the scent of lavender crisp from the baby shampoo he always uses.Her little prince had his arm wrap around her neck and his forehead pressed against her warm lips. His leg hovered around her waist, holding unto her firmly.Looks like someone had a goodnight sleep. She purses her lips, placing a soft kiss on his cold forehead as she pulls the covers from her waist upwards to cover them from the cold morning as the air conditioner was turned on. It always felt too cold for her to like and she's worried Kieran might as well feel the same.Upon sensing her move from his embrace, Kieran's lips thinned, wearing an upset expression with his eyes still shut close. He move his head away, only for him to nuzzle comfortably towards her neck, his grip had gotten tighter like a baby k

Chapter 3: Matching Clothes

Kieran's veins pulse in displeasure. Time is gold, what in the world are they slacking for?  "You heard my mother, now leave." He grits his teeth beneath his lips, impatiently, glaring towards a servant in front of him.The sight of his knitted brows paired with his calm and distant expression made the servant gulp her saliva again. "Right away." She immediately excuse herself. Why does it feel like she just received a threat? Was she going to get fired?Butler Yang sighs inside his head, surely the young maid was now flustered. He invites the upset child over to bath as the boy clearly values time the most and he definitely despises the idea of servants standing in one place with the heiress.His ears heard faint murmurs behind, causing him to look back, shushing the two disrespectful young maidens who remained in his side to assist the young boy as the other two prepared the heiress's bath and one was entrusted to pass the heiress's demand to the head che

Chapter 4: Crowded

The car moves in a slow and steady pace, stealing the attention of the onlookers and passersby before the chauffeur hit the brakes, causing the hallmark grey Bentley to stop. The eye catching car was parked at the closest slot near the entrance of the amusement park just as the recent car who occupied the space drove away, disappearing and blending with the other vehicles in the busy highway. Hillary turns her head to her side where her little boy is sitting. His mouth sealed from questions she has been expecting him to ask. It’s odd. He's been too formal and well behaved ever since they left the main gate. She’s lost at his absentminded state and strange silence. She had expected him to study the new environment foreign to his sight and fire away necessary questions like every curious child does. Right at this moment in the backseat beside her, secured in tight safety belts. Her little prince is currently reading an article of one of the business mag

Chapter 5: Reasons

“What’s wrong mother?” Kieran mumbles worriedly when he caught her staring at him.Hillary shakes her head, “Nothing.”Under the burning sun, two figures stood beside an extravagant car. A woman, with exquisite features one has never seen in the small City of Yuro and a child, owning such piercing and cold eyes that could be mistaken of a person who had lived longer than their forefathers and mothers.His frosty eyes had a story to tell of resentment and anger and every person who passed near them could not avoid but glance and settle their eyes on them with admiration as some threw envious gazes, but despite the difference of their judgments, one thought occupied all their heads 'they must be foreigners' as they have never seen such people carrying strong and prominent features around the city. Just one close look and they could distinguish the strong gene connection between the young lady and the child in her arms.The amus

Chapter 6: Change of Plans

Seeing the stubborn look on his face, she gave up, "Then do you have a place in mind?" She gestures Lee to open her bag in his hand, allowing her to pull out an untouched face towel resting inside one of her favorite vounché bags which she did not hesitate to spend her funds over a single material in an auction.She rubs off the sweat emerging from her son's forehead. Her face twist in displeasure. Does he feel uncomfortable because of the weather?Kieran stayed silent and stared at her while she dries his face. He simply rest his head on her shoulder, snuggling closer to her, and rubbing his cheek against her warm chest when she placed her open palm on top of head, protecting him from bumping his head against the roof of the car as they hop back inside the Bentley. His arms lock around her without giving her the chance to oppose. At last, he felt relieved with contentment. He could stay like this the whole day if his mother agrees.The young boy was cele

Chapter 7: Murderous Eyes

The old chauffeur from the next car in line behind the Bentley had the same thought circling around his head. He didn't dare to honk the car horn like an impatient brute wanting to scald the name of the powerful general. He remained lenient in his seat, his fingers fidgeting against the steering wheel nervously as the muffled voices outside continuously rang to his ears.He lifts his chin and glance at the rear-view mirror. His keen eyes pierce through the small sliding window, wide enough for a head to peek through as it was the only transparent surface separating the front row from the wide backseat. The LED lights attached to the sides glowed, brightening the area, but the soft touch didn’t reach the farthest seat where he focused his eyes at. It was glum and too quiet. No one could tell if there was really a person breathing behind him.A lady is spotted lounging comfortably in the corner of the backseat with her usual glamorous and placid mystique.Ta

In spite of the fact the right key has yet to resolve the ill questions inside their heads, the audience couldn’t be more meddlesome in such special event. Some hurried over to the entrance while a few were glad to grasp the opportunity to familiarize the new and pristine faces laid out fresh in clear sight. Those genes are simply out of the world.The grand RV carpet was laid out for a woman and a child, it’s already a catchy headline to boast. Just whose property these two belong?The crowd was thrilled, their prying eyes glued at the child alone who outshined the rest of them in his simple white designed sweater. Their curiosity soared even higher. Call it future investment as it may sound. They have to know who this young boy is. He would make a good pair to one of their young daughters."Welcome to Crown cinema theatre of Yuro. We are deeply honored to be at your service," the manager smiled widely, brushing the fact that she almost stammered du
