"Drop your gun, Blake Alcazar….," That rapaciously cavernous voice roared, making Blake grit his teeth. After he and Ashton attacked Zale's main warehouse together, he found out that it was a trap to catch him in it. Zale and his guards were already aware of his attack and they were already prepared about it and not only this, Ashton and his men were playing with him too as they were all involved in Zale's plan of trapping him and betrayed him flawlessly. Zale, Ashton and their men guarded Blake and his men completely as they were more in number. "The game is over now, my dear cousin," Zale's predatory gaze met with Blake's furious ones for the first time in half a decade. Both the men were standing in front of each other after almost 5 years. The last encounter they had with each other was at one of the hideouts of Blake's where Zale invaded his territory and killed each and every man of his there on spot because he got the information that Blake was planning on attacking him and

"Erya…?" Zale uttered, bewildered, by watching her there but he felt relaxed too as he thought she had come there to rescue them. She had come there with his men so that they could help them in standing against Blake's men but his relaxation turned into confusion when he felt Cia tightening her hold around his palm.He tilted his head and found her glaring at Erya with her glossy eyes. His brows wiggled in untidiness until he heard those words coming out from her mouth."Stay away from him, Erya…don't you dare to hurt him," Zale's eyes widened, hearing Cia. He couldn't understand what was happening there. Why would Erya want to hurt him when she had stood by him always? She worked for him then what exactly was wrong there?Cia gritted her teeth at Erya who was silently peering at both of them until now and then her gaze trailed towards Blake's lifeless body which made her fist her palms."So you succeeded in killing him,"Erya finally opened her mouth. Zale tossed his head to look at

"Damien Karlson," the little boy replied. Both Cia and Zale smiled at him. That boy had beautiful honey tanned skin and jet black hair. His eyes had the lightest shade of green which were twinkling like stars every time he smiled through his pearly white teeth. "Beautiful name and how old are you?" Cia asked, stroking his soft cheeks. The boy beamed in Zale's arms and answered. "I am five," "You didn't get hurt somewhere, did you?" Zale asked the boy in concern because that kid fell with a slight force and it was evident in that thudding sound of his falling. "No. I am fine, sir, " the boy shrugged his head while looking at Zale. "I am a brave boy. I don't cry," Zale chuckled at that kid's answer. Indeed that little being seemed brave. He patted his head. He didn't get very well with kids but this kid appeared to be different and he liked it. "Damien…" that voice grabbed the couple's attention and they saw Mr Karlson approaching them. "What are you doing here, Damien? Your mo

"Happy birthday, Zia….," She slowly unlatched her dark black lashes hearing her parents' voice. She adjusted her sleepy vision to the light of the morning and a big smile crept on her pouty rosy lips by watching those two favourite faces of her life.She got up from the bed and opened her arms wide for both of them. With a smile, Zale and Cia hugged their daughter and kissed both sides of her temple."Happy birthday, Zia. Many many returns of the day, my child…." Zale spoke, caressing her light brown hair. Her alluring light blue eyes gleamed up in happiness."Thank you so much, dad…." She again hugged her father. His smile widened as he caged her back. His daughter was his life and the ultimate source of his happiness."Did you already forget about your mamma, Dad's princess?" The father-daughter duo pulled back and chuckled by hearing Cia. Zia stepped closer to her mother and embraced her."How can I forget about this beautiful face of my mamma. It's my everything," Zia said and p

"Now before blowing the candles, make a wish, Zia," Zia smiled at her mother hearing her words and nodded. She closed her eyes slowly and made her wish. After that she opened her lashes and the very first thing her gaze caught was those green orbs staring at her because its owner was standing in front of her. She gawked at him through the fire of those burning candles. "Now blow the candles…." Cia's voice made her shrug and then she blew the candles. Everyone started clapping and wishing her whereas she grinned at everyone except that one person. She did her best to avoid his entire presence as much as possible because his mere presence was making her remember what had just happened between them just a while ago and she didn't want to remember it, not even in her dreams again because that was a living nightmare for her. "Once again, happy birthday," Zale fed her the cake to which she smiled and returned the gesture. Zia fed the cake to her parents and grandpa and then extended it t
