There was a mysterious figure seated on a chair at the extreme corner of the study. Nothing could be made of him except that he wore a hat, and his back was positioned to the door. "Dad?" Evan called, walking towards the chair until he came to stop a few steps away. "You sit back and watch." The deep voice of the mysterious man flowed back to Evan, who stood there like a statue. It was at that moment that he realized that his father was on the phone with someone. Impatience was killing him, yet there was nothing he could do but wait. As soon as Jaja dropped the call, he spinned the chair around. A huge chunk of tobacco in his hand as he puffed and blew its smoke into the air. Evan coughed, covering his nose for a moment in an attempt to distract his nostrils from registering the choking smell. Evan waved the trail of smoke drifting in his way away, accepting his fate as he knew this was not going away. There was a reason why he had come to his father, and he wouldn

"Here is the herbal tea you asked for." Bethany knocked on the open door, careful not to step in except told so. "Come in." Irwin said, busy with a couple of files spread on top of the cedar table. "There are ginseng, lotus crust and Iadin peas in it. Just as you instructed." She said, putting the cup of tea on the small stool next to the table. "Thank you." He said. "You can leave." He added, barely looking at her. Bethany walked away as instructed, but for a second she lingered at the door. She knew that she was supposed to step out but couldn't. "Supreme Commander?" She called, turning back to him. His sharp gaze at her, made her lose her voice and composure. Seeing how she had reacted to his gaze, he looked away. Perhaps that would help her feel a little at ease. "There's something I need to tell you." She said, a little bolder. "I have tried to hold it back but I just can't keep it.""I don't have time for that right now." He said casually, still not looking at her. Betha

"This can't be real, right?" Bethany Colwill muttered, staring at her phone as though it was a strange device. She read the message which she had just received over and over again. She wanted to be sure that she was in her right mind. [Hi, Bethany. I went through a real struggle trying to get your number. I'm not sure if this is your real number because I've sent a couple of messages to many more numbers. If this your number, please call me. PS. Isabella Rolan.]"Isabella Rolan trying to reach me for so long?" She wondered. "What could this possibly be about?"She thought about it for a moment. A part of her wanted to believe that this must be some sort of prank message. "Well, even if she is the one, I need to be sure first." She concluded. She was in the special cinema room in the tower. This Cinema was not the type of the everyday cinema that people randomly walk into. This is a 3D cinema room where pictures and movies come to life. The imagery and scenes on the 3D display was

Isabella Rolan has been waiting for over thirty minutes now. She has made sure to leave home as early as possible in order not to keep Bethany Colwill waiting. When she had arrived at the Green Garden and found out that Bethany was not there yet, she was relieved. She couldn't imagine Bethany getting there before her and leaving in the fit of rage. Soon enough, her happiness slowly dwindled into a shade of displeasure after thirty minutes of waiting for Bethany. It's almost forty minutes late, yet there was no trace of her. She had just finished sending a message to Jessica. And Jessica had made no delay in replying her prompt. She had looked a second towards a direction in the extreme end of the Garden. There was a lady dressed in a Grey coat sitting there with a shade and a hat to hide her face. It was Jesica. Isabella had brought Jessica with her but she had decided that Jessica shouldn't sit with her but somewhere in an eye view. She had decided this because she didn't know h

Bethany was indeed speechless following what the Supreme Commander had just said to her. If it had stopped at the words, she would have taken some time to think that through. But in this moment, his arms were wrapped around her, holding her firmly in a tight hug. To her, it felt like she had just fallen into a trance. As though she was sleepwalking. Who was hugging her right now? The Supreme Commander? How in the whole wide world was that possible? Was she in her right mind or was she imagining this?It couldn't be an imagination because she could feel the warmth of his breath washing through her long hair. Could there be something that she was missing?Before leaving to meet Isabella, he had spoken a word of endearment to her. Although she had found out that he didn't say it from the place of her imagination, instead because he wanted her to do a service for him. If that was the case, which it definitely was. Then how was she supposed to explain what was happening right now? She c
