Finna is sitting cross-legged in the sitting room, sipping a bottle of wine. The news is playing, and her teeth clam against each other as soon as she sees her father. Her phone rings for the hundredth time. It's her mother calling, and she knows that she shouldn't be answering it. She turns it, so that the screen should face down, and she keeps sipping her champagne. The front door opens, and John walks in with Pumpkin. That's when Finna realizes that she hasn't made dinner yet. Oh, John is going to be so mad at her. Pumpkin flings her shoes off her feet and immediately jumps into a couch and starts to surf through the channels. “What's to eat, mum? I'm starving.” She says. “Just a second, sweetie, I will prepare a snack for you.” She goes off to the kitchen, trying to find the simplest thing to microwave. John is right behind her, and from the reflection on the window, she notices the anger on his face. “Dinner is not ready.” He states the obvious. “Even though Pumpkin an

Breaking news! “Over ten Generals have been found dead in the space of two weeks, and the whole country is thrown into chaos with this news.”“They've been found dead in various positions, and authorities suspect that it all happened by the hands of the same attacker.” “One of the deceased, General Dallas Kain was with his son, a young soldier, Collins Kain, who suffered the worst, as his eyes were gorged out by the attacker too. Authorities said this brutal act was carried out before he was killed.” “All the deceased, except the young Master Kain, had the signature mask of the dragon general placed on them, which seems to be symbolic. It raises the suspicion that the dragon general has returned. Is he taking revenge on his enemies?” Gaston shuts the newspaper and slaps it angrily on the table. Roman is in the room, standing behind him like the steadfast bodyguard that he is. “He has returned…” Gaston murmurs, running his hand over his jaw. “I was thinking that would be a good

Stephanie didn't recognize Anthony Petrov, to her defense, she was in emergency mode and probably couldn't tell it was him because of all the blood. His car is in pretty good shape, and so that this won't make too much of a scene, she pushes him to the passenger seat and she drives him to the hospital. “Hey, stay with me.” She says, struggling to keep her eyes on the bleeding man, and also the road. Anthony is already passed out, he has just lost so much blood. She decides that there is no more time to lose. She steps on the gas and even though Roman would probably be so mad at her for going this fast, she has to save this strange man. She sighs with relief when she finally sees the glowing hospital sign, and thankfully, two nurses and a stretcher are right outside to help her to take him in. “The place is filled up, there seems to have been a surge in accident victims.” “Take him upstairs, to the private rooms!” She instructs, making her colleagues gasp. The private rooms ar

Stephanie snatches the tooth and throws it into the fireplace. Her mother gasps in horror and asks if she has gone mad, but Stephanie doesn't answer. She feels numb, but she manages to have her breakfast, dress up, and go to Sandra. It's been six hours since Stephanie heard her mother suggest such an outrageous thing, and Stephanie has not allowed herself to think of it. Surely, there has been some kind of mistake somewhere. Anthony Petrov just met her a few days ago, and he knows that she is a married woman, so why would he be interested in someone who is already married? When she gets back to the house, her mother is sitting in the living room and watching a reality show as she sips some coffee. This is drastically different from the woman who would sit by the sink upstairs and stare at the gate in horror, fearing that the government will burst in at any time to arrest them? This one is happy and free, infact she stands up to give Stephanie a huge hug as soon as she walks thr

Stephanie has always told herself that she would never hide anything from Roman. Ironically, she learned that from her parents’ marriage. It's not perfect, they might seem to be an evil couple, but at least they get into messes WITH each other. Her mother has been extra sweet to her and even offered to braid Athena's hair in the latest trendy kiddies style. She would have previously chosen death than to touch Athena, so Stephanie does well to know that there is a motive behind her mother's sudden sweetness. Anthony Petrov has become even madder than he already is when he asked for Stephanie’s hand in marriage. Since his bizarre gift of a whale’s tooth. He has not shown his face anywhere or said anything. Stephanie has also lost sleep because she is thinking of the best way to tell Roman about this. How is he going to feel? Anthony was his boss, and doing something like this to his fellow man is just horrible. Stephanie's mum has been singing into her ears, like a canary, that
