“You want to eat mango with spicy shrimp sauce?” Zeno asked. We’re in my room, watching movies on the TV with his arms on my waist. It’s been days since we’ve been like this, being sweet with each other, but sometimes, his scent makes my face crumpled and I can’t even find a reason I hated his smell. Since then, he decided to use my perfume, which suits him more. From being smelly to a classic, glamorous fragrance, sweet but balmy, slightly sharp floral with fresh mandarin on the top; jasmine, plum, orchid, and rose. Isn’t it pleasing to smell him like me? I nodded my head and looked at my husband, who was now sighing deeply. “Why do you like eating those?” “Because it is delicious!” I screamed, but he just gazed at me as if he were examining my entire existence. “Annalise, you’ve been skipping meals because you like eating that freaking mango with shrimp sauce,” he stated, but I just raised my eyebrow at him. Zeno shouldn’t interfere with what I wanted to eat because that is wh

“Annalise, why don’t you try strolling here in Germany? I’ll accompany you,” Ciara suggested.My eyes darted to Czy right away, who was now sleeping peacefully. We’ve been here in Germany for a year, but I haven’t even wandered around here because of fear that they might see us.Although Ciara and Jake assured me that this country was safe, they advised me that one of them should accompany me, just in case.Part of me says that I need to take a breath and buy something that I want, but whenever I realize that my life is in danger, I always change my mind.I let out a deep sigh and glanced at Ciara, who was now smiling brightly as if she was assuming that I would agree.“Don’t worry about Czy. I’ll take care of him,” Jake said and popped out of nowhere. “You need to unwind, Annalise. Besides, Ciara will accompany you and I’m in charge of Czy today.”“But—”“Come on! Let’s buy some bags and dress. We can also go to the beautiful places here so I can take photos of you,” Ciara said while

While listening to Zeno’s voice, I couldn’t stop crying. I waited for a year to hear his voice again. Even though the situation between me and his son is so painful, I know it hurts him even more. No matter what he does, his enemies are watching him.I know he is doing his best to be with us, but the world and destiny just don’t agree with us. Maybe one day, we will be free from these challenges and I hope our son will never have to experience this life because I know how difficult it is.“Annalise,” Zeno muttered.I glanced at Czy, who was now sleeping peacefully, before removing the earphones in his ear. I don’t remember how much time passed, but it seems that our son got tired of talking to his father, so he fell asleep immediately.Now that it’s just the two of us who are still awake, my heart starts beating rapidly again and I’m afraid he might hear it. My heart beats differently when I’m with him or I’m just talking to him. Maybe it’s like this when you love someone. Just doing

I opened my eyes when I felt that someone was staring at me and, to my astonishment, it was Zeno. He was carrying our son, Czy and it suits him being a father. To my surprise, I almost sat up immediately as my eyes widened. My mouth was barely open when it suddenly occurred to me that this was not a dream.“Zeno?” I uttered while looking at him, baffled. “How did you get here? Didn’t they follow you? I thought you were busy protecting your friends in digging for data that would help you find the person behind this matter?”Two weeks have passed, if I’m not mistaken. After the meeting that night, Kazimir flew back to our country to continue their agenda.We’ve been trying to adapt to this place and I often fall asleep in the daytime because Czy has always been awake at night even if I try to flash him his father’s photo.“They didn’t. Kazimir assured me that I could visit you and our son.” He sat next to me and kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes for a few seconds to feel his warm

“Oh my! We caught a lot of king crabs! They are so huge!” I exclaimed when Zeno finally placed the trap on the frozen sea. It’s just nice because it’s just one trap. As far as I remember, Ciara bought ten traps that she commanded from our bodyguards.When we woke up, we immediately got ready to check the traps that Jake and Ciara had set. They also placed a blue flag beside the baits, so we knew where we were going. We were also lucky to catch numerous king crabs today. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you will catch tons of king crabs. Surprisingly, the first trap we visited was almost full. Fortunately, we also had a lot of bodyguards with us and they were carrying many coolers.Our bodyguards helped remove the king crabs from the trap. You will not notice that they are bodyguards because they look like ordinary people like us. Maybe that’s one of their disguises, so they won’t be mistaken for our allies.We returned the small king crabs we caught to the hole they made yesterday
