They walked along the pavement down the street, walking aimlessly.The street had become busier and there was many sights of couples walking around with a smile, hands held and touched in one pocket. Whispering to themselves without a care of who was watching.Niko peaked at Rapheal's finger and she wondered if they still held the warmth from the night before.There was a guy playing a guitar at one side of the street and a small crowd had gathered.The experience was novel, Niko stopped, taking notes with interest. Rapheal stood protectively by her left shielding her from the rush of people. The song was valentine themed and the guitarist played beautifully. At the end everyone clapped enthusiastically and some sincere ones dropped some money in his hat.Taking a turn around a corner they walked into an open space. They were much people, with stalls set up neatly at the side.A large expense of ice spread out in a circle, barricaded around the edge. It was an outdoor ice rink. They

Meanwhile Ethan had not been doing well since he was promoted to the headquarters.Currently he was standing outside the senior executive of the Hr department's door, waiting to be received.He let out a sigh when the door creaked open, a lady in a black, tight pencil skirt walked out, her voluminous hair fell behind her reaching her waist.Ethan offered her a polite smile but she just walked pass after a single glance, as if she didn't see him. The smile on his lips faltered and he clenched his fist, almost forgetting what he was there for until a voice shouted angrily from inside the office."What are you waiting for? If you are just going to stand there then just close the door and leave.""I am sorry sir." Ethan hurriedly apologized, pulling himself together.When he first arrived at his new post he was very excited and had thought this was just the beginning of his journey to a new height. However just a few days into it and he realised that he might have willingly walked into he

When Rapheal walked into the house the whole family were having dinner. He didn't miss the shock in Dante's and madame Daina's eyes when they saw him.Although they were quick to hid it, even Noah noticed something.He looked between the three of them before saying to Rapheal. "Since you are here, join us. We were just talking about you."Rapheal smiled insincerely at his words, saying. "I'd rather not. I don't think anyone will be comfortable eating together with people who want them dead.""What!" Madame Diana exclaimed with a mix of shock and panic. "What nonsense are you saying?"Her action made it more like she was frantically trying to cover something up, Dante gave her a quick glance.He feared that she would give them away. It was easy to pull madame Diana into his plan as he understood his mother very well. Just by mentioning the matter of the engagement he was able to convince her to get rid of Rapheal.Although he gave her the idea, he had no involvement in the process at al

Rapheal stood to the side, watching Niko bustle around the kitchen.The kitchen looked like a tornado had run through it, with floor and cheese shavings all over the place, including things that she couldn't make out.Guilty, Rapheal grabbed a mob and started to clean too. "I tried to follow the instructions but it still ended up like this."She glanced at the blacken pot sitting inside the sink, then looked back at him. Eyes filled with disbelief. "Oh."Niko rolled up her sleeves before putting her hair up in a loose bun.She cleared the mess on the aisle. Thankfully there was still some ingredients remaining to she started afresh.In less than twenty minutes she pushed a bowl of nicely made macaroni and cheese with a sprinkled of shrimp and veggies in front of him. "Here you go."It smelled heavenly, and the hungry Rapheal couldn't help but swallow heavily. He then asked her. "What about you? You only made a portion for one, why don't we share?""I already ate." Niko shook her head

"Nobodies." Natalie replied briskely. She said some inaudible things to the people there was soulds of shuffling as she moved to a more quieter place. "Sorry. They were causing a disturbance. So you can come, right?""On Friday. Hmmm." Rapheal hummed, narrowing his eyes he returned to the topic before. "Those nobodies where do you know them from."There was a slight pause from Natalie's side, then she muttered. "I am not familiar with them. We just happn to go to the same school."She thought he was going to question her more about it but after that Rapheal merely hummed once more, she sighed in relief. Rapheal noticed she was uncomfortable and only asked her about school works and how she was coping with work."I quit three of my part times. I now only work at the bakery, the owner is nice and very old. I am afraid someone will take advantage of her so I will just stay a bit more until she finds someone reliable." Natalie voice was cheery as she said to him. "Since I am not that sho
