Anthony, already sitting, chuckled softly. “And what if we….just come over,” he said

Sarah stepped forward, and he gestured at the square form he had formed with some fresh leaves and added, “Sit right here.”

Sarah nodded, sat down, and handed the cone to Anthony. “Here,” she said with a warm smile. “Let's start with ice cream.”

Anthony smiled, accepting it. “Thank you, Sarah.”

Sarah didn't say anything. She stood up, grabbed the bag of snacks she had placed on the back of the car before sitting back down.

Anthony was the first to start licking his ice cream. He casually began to lick his own ice cream, savoring the flavor with a relaxed expression.

Sarah, holding hers, yet to start licking, reluctantly glanced at Anthony, then held his hand, twisting it softly with the other hand.

“Thank you so much, Anthony, for everything you have done for me so far,” Sarah said, her voice calm but filled with genuine gratitude. “I really appreciate it. Having you around me has been the biggest m

    Anthony added, observing that Sarah was moving around. “Still walking around? Do you want something?” He asked, settling the tray on the dining table. Straightening up, he looked at Sarah as she responded, “No. I was actually coming to the kitchen to see what you have been cooking, which seemed to be taking up much of your time.”“Oh,” Anthony chuckled softly, “not really. I was only trying to make it more delicious so you can enjoy it. That's why it took me more time than usual.”Sarah smiled softly at him. Looking down at the tray with covered plates, she asked. “So what have you got in these plates?” She asked, her voice soft, dripping with play. “Hope it's going to be delicious as it took you almost a whole day.”Nodding, “You’re definitely going to enjoy it, trust me. In fact, sit down and let's see,” Anthony replied, gesturing toward a seat.Gently, Anthony served Sarah a plate and reserved one for himself. He poured chilled water into two tall glasses, handed one to Sarah, and

    “Benjamin,” she muttered to herself, remembering he was trying to reach out to her when she had breakfast at the restaurant earlier. “Let me call him to know why he was trying to contact me via FaceTime.”Settling back her buttocks down on the sofa, she took out her phone, unlocked it, and went to the call history. Spotting Benjamin's contact, she stared at it for a moment, her fingers hovering over the screen and her expression hesitant. After a brief reluctance, she forwarded his number, putting the phone close to her ear as she waited for it to be answered.Meanwhile across the town, in a nice grand parlour, the air was thick with mockery and sarcasm. Three men, aged twenty-five to thirty-three, were all laughing and mocking a young man among them. In front of them was a table placed with a bottle of alcoholic drink and tall glasses of tea, emitting hot smoke.Some sipped through the alcoholic drink while some sipped through the tea. Among them was Benjamin, whom they had been la

    Anthony stood up, his expression soft as usual. “It was sold to me at $400k or so,” he responded, his voice casual as if it's the most common thing to say. “The actual price had just eluded my mind slightly but it's between that amount.” Sarah was slightly stunned. “That's huge! You were really determined to get this for himself, I guess,” she commented. Anthony tilted his head and replied. “It has always been on my mind.” Sarah nodded, but said no word. After a few minutes, Anthony raised an eyebrow and asked. “So what do you want to eat? Let me prepare something for you.” “Prepare for me?” Sarah repeated. “Didn't we just finish breakfast at the restaurant before heading here?” She asked. Anthony nodded but answered dismissively. “That was a restaurant's food, and this one is actually celebrating my acquired villa.” “But my stomach is filled up. Maybe I can eat some other time, not necessarily today.” He shook his head, his persistence sure. “No, I want it to be today. This i

    Sarah trusted him and followed behind him. As they both approached the gate, the armed men bowed their heads in recognition and respect. “Good morning, Mr. Anthony, you're welcome back,” they greeted in unison, their voices warm and welcoming. Anthony nodded his head and smiled. “Thank you.”The gate was opened for them and they stepped into the compound. Sarah's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she took in the amazing environment.She cupped her mouth slightly with her hand as she turned to face Anthony, her earlier reluctance turning into admiration. “This place is…. beautiful. I have heard people talk about this estate, but I haven't had that opportunity to be here…..”“And you finally are here,” Anthony interrupted, his voice soft. He smiled at her. Sarah nodded quickly. “Yes, and it's worth more than the praises,” she exclaimed.After a brief moment, Anthony replied. “This isn't the main reason why we are here; just come with me.” He took her hand, gripping it firmly but

    Thirty minutes, a cab pulled over a black gate and Harry and Charlotte stepped out, their expressions full of anger. Harry shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a buck. Glaring at the driver, he shoved it into his face, but a breeze blew throwing the money outside. Harry didn't care. He turned to walk away, but the driver was furious. He pushed the door open and stormed out of the car. “Hey man,” he called after Harry, his voice filled with anger. “You haven't paid me!” Harry paused and shot him a deadly stare. “Keep your fucking mouth shut, you blind fool!” He shot back at the driver. Pointing to the ground, he said, “That's your fucking money there on the ground! Crouch down and take it up. Don't be lazy!” The driver frowned. “Never!” He spat to the ground in disgust. “I conveyed both of you in my car over to your house and you just threw money at my face as if I begged you for it. I'm not going to take it unless you get it for me!” Harry laughed mockingly. “F

    She nudged hers toward him to try out. Anthony's brow furrowed, amused, but he leaned forward and sipped from the Greek Yoghurt she presented. “Hmm…yours is nice,” he said, smiling. “You might want to try mine as well.” He also pulled his Greek Yoghurt toward Sarah's lips. She opened her mouth slightly and drank it. “Yours isn't bad. It's as nice as mine,” she replied. They both let out soft chuckles, enjoying the shared moment. Their white shone bright under the dimly lit place, as they grinned at each other from time to time. Along the line, Sarah suddenly glanced down at the time. The time was far away. It was already twelve minutes past eleven at night. Realizing it was getting late, Sarah looked at Anthony and said, her voice slightly fading into the night. “The night is getting darker, I think I have to be on my way home.” Anthony raised an eyebrow and nodded. “Alright, please, drive home safely, okay?” He said, his voice soft. Sarah nodded, promising. “I will,” she
