Roman might be the most feared man in the world, but when his wife asks for leg massages, he dare not say no. He sits her down, plays her favorite classic music, and he goes to work immediately. "It's good to see you relaxed." He smiles at her. "Yeah. My legs keeps swelling to the size of a boulder," she complains. "The baby keeps kicking me so hard too. Athena was different, she was very gentle." Roman can't help but laugh. "Looks like we now know which kid is going to become the next dragon general." Both of them laughs, but Stephanie notices something, infact she has been noticing it for the past four days. Yes, Roman is so used to carrying the burden of the entire world on his shoulders, but this is different. Anthony Petrov is dead, he has helped solved all the wars of the world, so what can be this thing bothering the god of war? She has been observing him for a while, but she doesn't want to outrightly ask him. She believes that he will reveal his worry to her. Maybe t

The first thing that Oksana did for Lilith to get her comfortable in her new home and also get her into the teenage spirit is to get her a car. It's a second-hand car, but it's in very good shape, and Lilith immediately loves the car like it's her child. She gives her full concentration to driving school and celebrates the whole night when she finally gets her driver's license. So, once Oksana tells her that she has asked one of her colleagues to brush up Lilith's shooting skills, she is more than happy to drive to the private ranch to meet this person. All her happiness leaves her like air leaving a deflated balloon. Why didn't Oksana tell her that it's Carmen? He is sitting on the hood of his car, a cigarette sticking out of his mouth. He is not in his uniform, but dressed like any young lad in his early twenties. They lock eyes, staring down at each other like the rivals that they are. Lilith won't leave her car, and when Carmen is tired of waiting for her, he goes over an

Finna looks very different in her navy blue prison uniform. To be honest, she didn't even think that Stephanie would pick the call. Why would she? After the horrible thing that she did to her? She is even about to put the phone down and return to her cell when she finally hears her sister breathing at the other end. "Hello? Finna?" Finna holds her breath for a second. This is actually a lot harder than she thought it would be. "Stephanie?" Her voice breaks. "Yes, Finna, it's me." "How are you doing?" "I'm fine, but I should be asking you that. How are you doing?" Finna holds her hands and looks around her. "You know what? I'm actually doing pretty good." Stephanie inhales sharply at the other end. "I'm glad, Finna. I'm glad that we are talking." Finna bites down her lips and keeps her eyes slightly shut. It's a distraction to keep her eyes from turning into fountains of tears. "This is like the eighth time that I've tried to call you. I actually chickened out many times

Stephanie can't lie, no matter how hard she pretends, her life has changed a lot. She is now first lady, the most popular and respected woman in the country. She literally had to argue hard with Roman to get him to withdraw over fifty soldiers from guarding her all the time, and leaving her with one person. Willow. She is also still working in the hospital, performing surgeries even when her pregnant belly is as large as a drum. She is just seven months, and Roman makes sure that her and the baby's condition is monitored every single day. Even with all of this chaos, Stephanie is trying to maintain some things from her old life. One of those things is her friendship with Oksana. They are both super busy and popular now, but every Thursday, they meet at their favorite local diner to have some food and catch up on some gossip. The owners of the local diner have become very very successful because of the patronage of the first lady, and they don't take it for granted. They mak

Oksana has just pulled her car into her spacious garage, she has just come back from work. She works in Roman's presidency, in the military wing. She occupies one of the highest administrative ranks in the military, and because of her personal relationship with Roman, she is something of a legend among the military folks. They know that she was a fierce woman who has gone through a lot, and they respect her so much for that. But for Oksana, she is done with all the blood and trauma, that's why she decided to work in the administrative section of the military. She likes the calmness and serenity of her job, but it's also very demanding, which she is not complaining about. At least she gets to clock out at four o'clock, and pick her son up from school. Both of them exhale tiredly as they step out of the car. "I'll get started with dinner." Oksana says. "And I'll load the washer," Alex says with a smile. She kisses his head, ruffles his hair, and then lets him walk through the

For the first time since she was born, Lilith travels back to the country of her birth to see her mother's grave. It's nothing fancy, the stone head is already crumbling, and her mother's name is almost wiped away by the elements. Still, Lilith goes down on her knees and she uses her hands to flick off the leaves, and wipe the dirt away. She is so sad, her heart is heavy, but she has a smile on her face. "Hey, Mum. It's crazy, because I have never called anyone that before, physically. I feel nervous, because this would be my first time meeting you," Lilith says. "Look, I got you flowers. I'm not sure which is your favourite, but I brought mine. I like hydrangeas. I hope you do." She places it on the grass, hearing the gentle wind blowing hair into her face. She chuckles, because she imagines that it's her mother's spirit trying to whisper to her. "You know, we finally got justice. That pompous son of the Petrov family that got you pregnant and killed you later, he is dead n
