★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Soren helped Sadie up, bringing her back to her feet.
Their four eyes are bulging in astonishment, but their smirks are unaffected as they awaited who's gonna come down from that car.
No doubt, today is the deathday of whoever it is.
Even Faye and her two boys are all attentive, wondering who's brave enough to almost knock the BIG Sadie down.
The students are all where they are, just that their attention has shifted to the luxury car, too.
"Who the hell is that?" Mercury joined the twins. "Whoever it is is begging for a fast death."
But the sight of the heels that emerged from the car made their morale drop at their feet.
The diamond-designed heels is nothing like ever seen before, and the reflection from the shinny stones caught the soft sun, sending sparks across the school walls.
Most students had to close their eyes quickly, and some covered their eyes with their spaced fingers at the risk of going blind.
Out of the car, came Shayla.
Simple but elegant in her bright yellow dress which shared the same shade with the glow of an angry fire. It's so bright. It's free and backless, but there are interconnected ropes at the low back, so her skin is sparingly out, and it's glowing.
Thanks to the tip of Cheyenne's sharp nails, her ears were pierced, and for the first time in her life, she wore earrings, small sapphire ones though.
Her other jewels are minimal, but they're all too luxurious that it feels illegal to see them for free. Her face matched the pristine glow of the rest of her skin.
From the other side of the car, Xena came out, looking pretty too in her off-shoulders black dress and enough jewelries to show.
Soren blinked slowly beside Sadie. Sadie is still not able to close her mouth.
Mercury looks so out of her wits, sudden anxiety descended on her as she began rubbing her own neck abnormally till it turned red.
"The slave?" Faye muttered.
"She's really the partner?" Blaise said, not blinking at all.
Kade is swallowing invisible lumps and saliva, he looks like his whole air supply system got stolen.
Actually, the girls stole the air of everyone. No one could voice out.
It got much worse when the driver's seat of the car swung open, and the alpha himself came down.
Ryker.
He took Shayla's hand, and her smile blossomed, his coldness calming her nervous nerves as he climbed the front staircase with her, entering the school building.
Her heels kissed the ground repeatedly with the rich crispy sounds.
As Xena followed behind them, her eyes caught Soren's from the crowd, but she was quick to throw her face away before entering building too.
The stolen air of everyone returned, and the sun dipped back into the clouds as if it only came out for the just completed scenario.
"Ok, that was insane!"
"Finee, she's pretty as hell. I can still smell her perfume!"
"Money can transform a duck to a peacock."
"The shoes are enough to buy all of my family mansions, like twenty of those big arse buildings."
"And the jewels? I'm gonna die. Does he manufacture them or what?"
"The richest man in this city with many treasure chests, it's not supposed to be shocking."
"But I'm still shocked, look at the car too. Who built that?"
"And the second girl? She's hot."
"That's his chef sister, Xena."
"You must be kidding!"
There are no stop to the shocked compliments and admirations. It grew noisier as the minutes whiled.
No one even noticed Sadie's anger.
"What just happened?" She muttered, finally finding her voice. Her pale face turned to Soren.
Soren couldn't talk.
"I'm still in awe, too. Have you ever seen me as speechless as this before?" Mercury said.
Sadie's eyes went down to her feet, and suddenly, she doesn't like the heels she's wearing anymore.
She took them off and flung them away to the crosswalk, then she snatched Mercury's phone.
"No slave or undeserving nameless thing can come here to disrupt the hierarchy or lower the bar! No amount of jeweling or panel beating can wash away the fact that she's a slave! I'm calling mother!"
"For?" Soren asked.
"If the bastard insists on dumping her here, then Mercury, your mother will have to close this school down. Two boss can't rule an empire!" Sadie snarled venomously, storming into the school building too.
"Soren, what do we do?" Mercury faced him.
"Follow her lead. She's always the one with the rules." Soren replied, and they both followed Sadie.
"Damn, why am I somehow loving this shit." Faye muttered from across the crosswalk. There's a lean, sweet smile on her face.
"Let's see how the Diamond 3 are gonna cope with someone richer and with a more powerful backup. Sadie is so going to hang herself. Hot pepper coming." She clicked her tongue, nodding.
"What was that last night?" Blaise shifted closer to her, and her smile disappeared.
"I don't think you're in anyplace to talk to me. Your mouth stinks."
"Keep telling that lie to yourself. You kissed me last night!" Blaise shoved her to a car, but she pushed him away, glaring hard.
"Yes, and I kissed Kade too, both to suck out your poisons."
"You spat the poison out in form of two scorpions, and somehow, nothing happened to you. Look, I've seen series of insane powers in this city, but I've never came across your type before. What exactly are you!" Blaise demanded, and Faye laughed.
"I love that you're curious about me, and there's more to come. I know you hate getting curious, so you might just die while at it. And don't you dare touch me again." She gave him a deadly eye roll and left.
Blaise leaned on the car, his head is in shambles as he tried to figure it out, but nothing is coming.
He glanced at Kade who's still standing where he is.
"Is the slave entry shock still in your body?" He asked.
Kade didn't reply.
"Kade!" Blaise nudged him.
"Don't touch me!" Kade pushed him off, then he ran into the building.
"What is wrong with him?" Blaise scoffed, going inside as well.
The new development is still lingering around the school as another car stopped at the park.
Lilith jumped out, and she helped Pearl out too.

[Director's Office]
The news has reached Esme even before Ryker arrived, so the moment she saw the door opening, she stood to her feet. Lots of her staff teachers are around her.
Ryker entered with Shayla and Xena, and Esme gasped when she saw them, but she gathered herself together, knowing it's unadvisable to use forbidden words around him.
"What's going on, Lord Ryker?" She asked politely with a inept smile.
Ryker didn't let go of Shayla's hand, and Xena planted herself on the other side of him.
"It's a shame you don't recognize your two best dancers from the last audition. Were they wearing masks?" Ryker said, intentionally giving his sarcasm away with nonchalance.
The folds that appeared on Esme's forehead are a proof of her shock. She stepped out of her desk, eyes wide as she accessed the two girls.
"You two are...what!"
"Nice to meet you properly. You said it yourself that we must come." Shayla said.
"Here we are, ma'am." Xena added, and Esme gasped.
She quickly requested for their submitted forms, and her teachers slid her laptop to her on the table.
"You both applied under..." She faced them. "Fake names?"
"That was due to the circumstances. If we registered with real names and came unmasked, you'd have chased us off." Xena said.
"No, young girls. We don't do that here. That alone is enough to disqualify you both, you literally deceived the school! Also..." Esme smiled at Ryker.
"We don't take lowliness here, impossible. One is a palace chef, and the other one is a sla—"
Esme was already clutching at her own neck before she could finish that last word.
Her neck felt a real choky congestion, runny veins danced on her throat, mapping the skin. Her eyes turned till white filled it up.
She threw up water.
Her knees clashed with the ground, and her clutch at her throat got tighter. She's shaking, writhing, sweating and getting red.
Shayla's eyes went to Ryker. As she expected, he's glaring at Esme. He's the one doing it.
"Ma'am!" The teachers shouted, but none was bold enough to go closer for the fear of getting choked too.
Ryker got that laptop from the table, went two steps to Esme and brought it down to her head, crashing it there.
It broke to shatters, and Esme bled from the middle of her head, the redness stained his hands.
Shayla gulped, Xena did the same.
The teachers are still standing clustered in a corner of the office.
"Thinking you can exchange words with me is forbidden, talk more of actually doing it. A slave?" Ryker smirked, pulling her up by her hair.
Esme's shoes left her feet on their own, and her lips quivered.
"Don't use that word around her, or you'll be in a lidless coffin." He said, darkly with poisoned tongue.
Esme nodded, and he let her go.
"Direct the second audition as you should. Do your job, that's all I ask. And oh...if she gets bullied, or touched... I'll have to send your daughter to the dark room as an indigene slave. First of it's kind, how's that sound?" He said.
"What!" Esme's head went up, eyes wide again.
"You heard me, Esme Vega." He called her full name to knock that in harder, and she quickly nodded.
"Yes ... My Lord." Esme swallowed.
Ryker gave both Xena and Shayla the final glance, but his eyes stayed longer on Shayla before he started leaving the office.
"My Lord!" Shayla went after him as fast as possible.
Though, she has mastered how to walk in the heels. She learnt it at once after Cheyenne taught her, but it's obvious she's not comfortable.
Ryker noticed it.
His eyes went from her legs to her face when she got to him.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"It's personal, I don't have to tell you everything." He replied, colder than she expected.
"Oh..." Her head went down. "Sorry i have no right to ask that."
He's out of the office in the next one second, and her head went up again, her sadness showing.
"Hey..." Xena came to her.
"Don't think about his words too much, you'll just get hurt."
"I was just worried he might come back late again and leave just me at the tower. It's lonely alone." Shayla replied, and Xena smiled.
"Let me tell you, you might be his partner, but it'd take time for him to warm up to you. He's ice, you don't expect him to break so fast. And don't worry, if he comes late, I'll keep you company. Be happy, we're here now and no masks again." Xena cheered.
Shayla nodded in agreement, and they faced Esme.
"Clean up the mess of my blood and broken laptop keys." Esme ordered some of the teachers.
"Call the alchemists to bring pills for my head wound, and get guards for the girls." She ordered another set.
"Lastly, make sure the audition hall is ready in thirty minutes." She gave the last order
All the teachers rushed out, and Esme faced the girls with a forced smile, the blood on her face is starting to dry up cos of the air conditioners.
"Tea, or coffee?" She asked respectfully.

[East Palace, Meeting Court]
"May I ask why the Grand Supreme is not on seat?" Kasia asked in the middle of the meeting, and she saw the shift on Azura's brow before she was able to answer.
"Grand Supreme is currently on a trip, and in his absence, I'm enough for this court. Any other question?" Azura replied.
"Grand Supreme's travels are always announced to the city, what happened this time?" Astor spoke up.
Azura's angry, sharp eyes swiftly went to him.
"There are several non-human cities like us who are after the FrostOrb and FireStone too. If the Grand Supreme is sick, you should let us know so we'd know how to hold our guards tighter and prevent intruders." Kasia said.
"Quiet!!" Azura yelled at the top of her voice, the order echoing through the walls of the court.
"Actually, Zeke is more than unconscious." Granny Jojo said.
"Mother!" Azura cautioned.
"Zeke was knocked unconscious by Ryker, Jude is suffering from the same fate." Jojo continued.
Azura's fists went balled.
"The almighty Grand Supreme Zeke?" Kasia said, not bothering to hide the mockery in her tone.
"You do not have the right to say his name with your mouth, Kasia! Shut up now and let's continue the meeting in peace, or you'll go back to the West in pieces!" Azura threatened.
"Go ahead..." Kasia stood. "Do whatever you like. What have you East folks not done to us in the West? Nothing is new anymore. Every rule binding this city comes from this East, we Spectres are just second in command on the tongue! The dark room auction money goes to the East Palace account too! Isn't that the secret to your unending wealth?"
Immediately Kasia dropped the bomb, the court went silent, and the clansmen began murmuring amongst themselves, but Azura stayed unshakeable.
"Oh...I see you have scraps and tidbits in your hands, and that's why your shoulders are getting higher than your head?" She cracked a villainous laughter.
"We're not here for words mincing, you East folks will will anyways, let's just get this over with." Astor said.
"Then tell your wife to get her butt on her chair! Don't make me break a irreparable bone in her body" Azura warned.
Astor pulled Kasia to her seat, but her glare didn't stop.
Azura could feel it as they talked about the Feast at large, making the beginning plans.
"Winona is joining the beauty contest this year, by the way." Kasia announced.
"Not my problem. She'd be competing with Liza and Esme." Azura replied, scowling badly.
The discussions continued, but Azura had to stop it when she got a call from Sadie.

[FrostOrb Hall]
Winona came out of the wall right in front of the hall, and she dusted her clothes and hair.
It hasn't been easy scaling through the guards and maids to get here, but thanks to her wall walker ability, she was able to walk in the walls till she got here.
She pushed the hall door open, and a awed expression latched to her face when she sighted the FrostOrb, shinning brightly on the frozen black tray. The light isn't dimming nor flickering. It stayed unaffected till she took one step inside, two steps...
Now is the right time to steal this since the others are busy in the meeting court.
She took the third step towards the beautiful orb, but she was thrown back before she knew it.
She crashed into the door, landing outside the room and wounding her knees and palms.
"Darn!" She jumped back to her feet, picking a fast race inside.
The door slammed viciously on her face, and she was thrown again, brutal than the first time.
Her body hit the wall, and it dented in, releasing her to come out on the other side. She sustained more injuries, her wrists broke.
She was barely able to stand up and leave the place, using her wall walk to get to the park.
Kasia and and Astor were already waiting, meeting is over already.
"Winona!" Kasia gasped in amazement
"It's impossible. That orb doesn't allow strangers close at all." Winona panted as she explained.
"But you can describe it" Astor asked.
"I should be able to." Winona nodded.
"Then that's enough for now. C'mon,let's leave." Kasia helped her into the car with Astor.

[Clouds Castle]
There's a fog river at the back of the castle, forged from the aura of the fountain and olive branches.
Ryker sat on a boat on the fog river, and Eternus is sitting beside him. The old man is drinking from a porcelain bottle of liquor, he looks better since his wounds healed already.
"I never planned to lie to you, but I was just full of pity for the slave. I thought I could change the future if you didn't know about her." He said.
"What future?" Ryker gave him a icy querying look, and Eternus chuckled to ease the tension, chugging his liquor for a minute before answering...
"Isn't it funny? The heavens made everything so easy for you, you know almost everything and can do almost everything, but they put limitations on your powers when it comes to your partner. You can't even lift the spell on her mark. You'll freeze permanently soon at this point."
"I can't lift it cos it's a one-way spell, fool. I can only find the person who cast it to get rid of it." Ryker replied dryly, lashes going low.
"Let's visit somewhere." Eternus stood from the boat, but Ryker didn't.
"Please?" Eternus smiled.
Ryker finally stood. They both teleported, appearing in a market.
Judging by the rudimentary architecture and obsolete aesthetical mood of this place, it's not Luminaria.
"This is Eclipsera, the second most powerful non-human city after Luminaria. We're in their market." Eternus said.
"Why are we in Eclipsera?" Ryker asked, glancing at the market.
It didn't take long before he noticed the oddness of the city. There are so many beggars in the market, homeless people and dirty, smelly peasants. It's horrible.
"We're lucky in Luminaria that everyone is powerful except the half-breeds. But here, powers comes with richness, the poor are powerless, and that's why you see them homeless, roaming and begging." Eternus explained.
"So?" Ryker faced him.
"Even if you help all the beggars from your insane riches, you won't even feel it. Maybe you should do a good deed?" Eternus replied.
"Why would I help?" Ryker sneered, his level of anger shooting up and nearing the red line.
"Cos you're rich?" Eternus shrugged, and then one of the begging homeless women came over to them, holding a almost broken bowl of corn.
"Sweet corn, it costs five bucks. Just five." She pointed the bowl at Ryker, and that action was his last straw.
He slapped the corn bowl to the ground and proceeded to magically waving the woman herself away.
She staggered, her back clashed with a pole, and her backbone got fractured, nearly splitting.
She cried out, and Ryker drew his dagger, super speeding to her and raising the it at her chest.
Eternus appeared between them, the dagger dug into his chest instead.
Like a rat, the woman tearfully ran down the market, and Ryker's red eyes flicked to Eternus.
The dagger stabbed him so hard he's bleeding from the mouth too, and his eyes are stunningly shocked.
"You were really going to kill her?"
They both teleported back to the fog river at the clouds castle, and Ryker removed the dagger from Eternus' chest. The old man fell on the boat, holding the bloody chest which already blotched his white robe.
"You have no compassion or mercy for the lives of others, it'd be hard for you to grow a love thread for your partner like this." He said.
"And who says I plan to grow one?" Ryker glared down, blood dripping from the tip of the dagger.
"Because you must! Do you think having a partner just means having a partner ordinarily? Be compassionate, have mercy even if it's a little bit! I get that your mother was shown no mercy when she was killed, but that doesn't warrant your heartlessness." Eternus stood.
"Mention mother again, and I'll stab you again, you won't ever get reborn." Ryker warned.
"Try to be kind to your partner and grow a love thread. Maybe her mark might uncover by itself if she senses your sincerity." Eternus said.
"I planted her as a trap for Rumi in the ballet school. Rumi is going to appear soon." Ryker rolled eyes.
"Listen, Ryker. The mark is connected to her heart, maybe if you show mercy and compassion, the mark would appear even without Rumi. Spend time with your partner, buy her valuable gifts. Try to be warm even if you can't—"
Ryker already vanished with the air before he could finish up.
"You're dying by the way, no one survives a stab from my dagger. But luckily for you, your soul won't die." His voice echoed in the cold air.
"Never met a demigod as stubborn and ruthless as him all my life." Eternus sighed, sitting back in the boat. His bleeding never stopped.
And like Ryker said, he died on that boat. His body disappeared, but his soul travelled into a new body.

[Black Swan Ballet School, Final Audition Hall]
There are twenty winners from the last audition, and those twenty would be the ones to be auditioning today.
From them, five would be picked to become new dancers for the school.
All twenty participants are in front of the hall, waiting to be called in.
The twins and Mercury plus Faye and the boys are there too, waiting for when Shayla is going to show up.
"I called mother already. She should be here any moment from now." Sadie said.
"What is mother going to do?" Soren replied.
"Why does it feel like you've been going against me lately?" Sadie snickered.
"This isn't the time for arguments, guys." Mercury said.
Faye is across the rails, smiling and chewing gum as she watched them.
Soon, Esme arrived with the teachers and the girls, electric guards are guarding them closely.
Esme changed already, now wearing palazzo pants and suit, new makeup to cover her wounds and well brushed hair.
She has been trying to call Zeke to tell him about what's going on, but Zeke has been unreachable, leaving her with no choice.
Shayla and Xena are in the middle of the guards, well protected. They look like new money royalties.
"I love you Shayla!" Faye shouted from where she's standing.
Blaise scoffed behind her, still wondering alone.
"Electric guards?" Sadie sneered, wanting to go closer despite that, but Soren pulled her back.
"Leave me alone!" Sadie broke free. Her feet is still bare.
"You said mother is coming, so calm down and let her handle this! Listen to me for once!" Soren snapped.
"I think Soren is right. Ryker wounded my mother, so she'd rather die than let you get closer to those girls." Mercury said.
Kade appeared in the middle of the crowd, and the moment Shayla set eyes on him, she got brief flashbacks of her mother Liza's voice.
"SLEEP ON THE FLOOR, YOU DON'T BELONG IN A BED!"
"EAT WITH YOUR FINGERS, YOU DON'T DESERVE A SPOON!"
"WEAR THE RAGS, YOU DON'T DESERVE THE GOOD ONES!"
As the words flashbacks hit her, she stared back at Kade who's glaring at her with all the hate in this world.
It got to a point, and she looked away. She has suffered all her life just to get to this stage, and not even Kade will be able to disrupt that.
She entered the hall with Xena and Esme, and tension wrapped on the corridor again.
Mercury left without anyone's notice.
--
Pearl and Lilith are at the school sound room, awaiting the soul shifter they came to meet.
They both heard the news circulating around the school. Lilith stayed calm about it, but it only increased Pearl's desperation to get her sight back.
If her sight returns, she'd not only be able to see Ryker, but she'd also be able to put Shayla in her place.
"How did you even get so obsessed with Ryker? You've been in the basement all your life, I'm just curious." Lilith asked.
"The maids wouldn't stop talking about him, there were always leakage of their voices from the basement top. His name was all I heard throughout, and each time I thought about killing myself, I was stopped with the hope that I'd get out one day and see his face. He's the reason I'm still alive." Pearl explained.
"Hmm... sensational." Lilith nodded, smirking.
The opening of the door made them straighten up their postures, and Lilith's brows curved in shock when she was who entered.
Mercury.
"Mercury Vega? You're a soul shifter?"
"Apart from Grand Supreme Zeke and Azura, I'm the third and last soul shifter in this city." Mercury smiled.
"How many I help you both?
--
[Audition Hall]
Shayla and Xena are the last to audition, and they're currently making everyone speechless inside the hall again.
This time, Shayla wore the complete ballet outside. Leotard, tights, tutu, toe pads and the shoes with the drawstrings. Hair tied in a beautiful bun. She gave her all for the performance, and Xena matched her energy just like the other time.
But she somehow wished Ryker is here on his majestic seat to watch her. Even if he's going to be poker faced as usual, she'd be fine with it. His presence matters so much, but he rarely gives that.
Esme's pen nearly fell from her fingers, and the rest of the judges can't even stop their pens from marking EXCELLENT.
By the hall entrance, Azura stood with her twins. She has been watching this since the start, but she's not reacting like Sadie expected.
Zeke is still unconscious, Jude is still unconscious too. It'd be dangerous to make a move right now.
She just can't.
She started leaving with her guards trail, and Sadie ran after her.
"Mother! Mother why are you leaving? Mother!!"
As for Soren, he stayed there, at the entrance. He watched Xena for one more second.
Just one more second, before taking his leave.
Five dancers made it to the finals with Shayla as the top 1.
By tomorrow, they're expected to join the school and take practices with the other dancers.
The girls haven't changed out of their ballet outfit when Ryker appeared at the entrance of the changing room, and Shayla smiled a little.
He doesn't seem to be in a good mood. She could feel it in the way his brows are so tight.
"My Lord." She muttered.
"You came early." Xena said.
"Ready?" He asked, voice carrying no iota of life.
"Sure, we'll change when we get home. By the way, Shay is top 1." Xena replied.
Shayla looked at him, expecting him to praise her, but she got nothing, so she went back to her sad mood.
They didn't drive back home. Cheyenne and Sage are going to come back to get the car, so Ryker just teleported them back to the palace.
Xena went straight to the chefs quarters, and Shayla followed Ryker behind as they walked into the tower.
Her legs were dragging on the ground, and she feels like crying, but he might get angrier, so she stopped the tears with her life.
She was looking at his backside as he walked in front of her, and she hugged her dress and shoes to her chest, following with enough space.
She didn't expect him to turn back, but he did, and she stopped.
Fluidly, he pointed a red box at her, and she looked into his eyes.
"What's it?"
He stayed silent, so she took it.
"Go wash up, Cheyenne will come with your dinner." He said curtly.
Before she could reply, he vanished, erasing himself from the corridor.
Can he stop doing that?
He's abusing his teleporting ability at this rate.
This is more reason why she should speed up on getting her mark out. She suddenly hates being helpless.
She went to her room and plopped her dress and shoes on the bed. She sat in bed and took the red box, eagar to see what's inside.
She opened neatly, and her eyes were blessed with the sight of sèxiness.
A hot red set of bra and net panty. It's so beautiful that she gasped.
She was still checking them out when Cheyenne entered the room, and she quickly dropped the box on the bed, standing up.
"Cheyenne?"
"I'll be the one to cook your dinner, but I'll be going with Sage to get the car from the school. So I'll be back shortly. You can check the freezer for eclairs to keep your mouth busy till I'll be back." Cheyenne informed.
"It's fine, I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait till you'll be back." Shayla replied simply.
Cheyenne turned to leave, but she was stopped by the red box. She blinked when she saw what's inside.
"Don't tell me Lord Ryker gave you this set! Geez!" She raised the net panty, attached to the push-up bra.
"He...did" Shayla said slowly, and Cheyenne blinked again.
"Seriously? Why? That god doesn't gift people. Never."
She looked at Shayla, and one evil idea crept into her head.
"He gifted you these, meaning he wants something in return. Give n take." She said.
"What could he want?" Shayla asked interestedly.
"Shower, wear it, snap real hot pictures and send to him. I've never seen him go feral before, I'd love to see what happens." Cheyenne said.
"Pictures?" Shayla asked.
"Ou...poor you, Tiny. You have no knowledge of these things." Cheyenne sighed, bringing her phone out of her suit pocket. She got the charger too since the battery is almost dead.
"Here, plug it in the wall socket to charge." She said.
Shayla did that herself, and Cheyenne taught her how to use the camera and how to send to the right number.
"He's rarely with his phone, and he rarely checks messages. Just hope he sees yours. Good luck." She said and exited the room, leaving Shayla to her own fate.
Shayla stared at the phone, contemplating if this is right or not. Won't it get him more angry?
But then... Cheyenne is closer to him than her, so maybe it's just right.
She entered the bathroom, having a cold shower. Cheyenne taught her how to use it in the morning, the body wash and the facial care.
She came back to the room to dry up and cream. She left her hair darkly wet and gummy, skin glossing as she put on the panty.
Her arse cheeks are barely covered since the material is so thin.
She put on the br@ too, struggling in front of the mirror for minutes before strapping it on with the hooks.
Her br+Ã sts aren't big, but the bra did the push-up work, making it pop out of the cups temptingly.
Is this right?
She asked herself for the hundredth time before taking the phone.
She clicked camera and started taking the pictures softly.

[Ryker's Bedroom]
Ryker entered the bathroom for a hot shower rush when he arrived.
He spent close to an hour in the hotness before coming out, wearing his modern black bathrobe, open completely on the chest.
He was drying his damp hair with an head towel as he emerged from the bathroom, and Eternus words didn't stop echoing in his red ears.
“Learn to be compassionate and grow a love thread for your partner.”
"Should have killed his soul, too." He muttered, dropping the head towel.
His phone buzzed on the jade treasure table, and a slight frown etched on his face.
Is this phone even supposed to be here? Most importantly, who's texting him this late?
Is it someone he needs to kill?
He grabbed the phone, scrolling it open with low expectations.
He clicked on the newly received message, once.
Immediately the pictures displayed on his screen, his head made a straight, insane noise.
TBC.
