William gets off the bus and runs through the street, stumbling on rocks, losing his breath, holding a paper. He looks around the mansions, wondering why the road decided to be longer today. It feels like an eternity for him to reach the Clarke residence. It's Monday, and Will skipped his classes this morning after he read those words. He panicked and didn't know what to do after that. The first person that appeared in his mind was Grayson. When Will finally arrives in front of the mansion, he rests his hands above his knees and tries to catch his breath until he can speak. He asks the guards to call Grayson right now as the matter is urgent. William waits impatiently in front of the door, pacing on the road and biting his nails.  

"Why did you drink so much?" Grayson asks after Matthew tells him he found Kian in the bar. "I wanted to forget," mumbles Kian, scratching his head. "Drowning in toxic chemicals is the only way to appease my sorrow," Grayson frowns at the bruises on his cheeks from the fight. He waits for Kian to sit on the bed and looks at his puffy eyes. "Where were you heading?" he whispers. "I don't know," Kian shrugs, "I didn't choose a destination yet. I only needed to leave home first," "Why?" Grayson lifts a brow, "Why would you leave in the first place? Your family is here!" Kian sighs and tries to stand up, but dizziness wins over him, and he almost falls back on the bed when Grayson catches his wrists and puts him back to place. "That's because my family is here," Kian whispers, "I can't show them my face anymore. I'm a criminal, Grayson. I'm not worthy of their love," Matthew, who wishes he could hear their whispers, approaches them and squ

Kian wakes up six hours after when the sun is ready to rise. He washes his face and brushes his teeth before heading outside. He widens his eyes at the beautiful landscape. He couldn't see it yesterday night as it was already dark when they arrived. A touch of orange gives the sky a fiery appearance, like fire burning everything on its way. Kian shivers as his feet brush the cold grass that's starting to lose its green colour as winter is approaching. It's chilly outside, but in no way he would like to miss this beautiful morning spectacle. He stands in front of the lake and watches its transparent water transform into a painting, an abstract of orange, blue and dark pink. Grayson surprises him by covering his shoulders with a blanket. Kian smiles at him, and both watch the sunrise together. They don't need to exchange words. For now, they only enjoy each other's presence. If not for Grayson, Kian doesn't know where he might have spent the night. He packed a lot

When they arrive at the mansion, Harvey rushes inside to look for Eden. He finds him in the kitchen, preparing some snacks for Leo. He comes from behind and hugs him tight, inhaling his cologne. The maids share a startled look and hurry outside to leave them some privacy.    "Love," Eden chuckles, "You scared the maids," he turns around and takes him in his arms, "I'm so happy today," he rubs his back gently and kisses the back of his neck, "We finally got rid of those fuckers,"    "I know," Harvey sighs and separates from him to look at his eyes, "You should have seen their faces when the judge announced their sentence," he chuckles.    "They got what they deserve," Eden smiles and kisses his cheek, "Say, was Olivia in court?" 

Kian and Grayson drive Leo to school during the afternoon and head somewhere just the two of them to celebrate their first day as a couple. Eden and Harvey stay alone in their penthouse, unboxing the rest of the boxes and hanging all their clothes in the dressing room. The penthouse is at the top of the building, with windows overlooking the capital. They're excited to see how the panoramic view would look at night with all the lights.  "I think we're almost done," says Harvey, pushing the empty boxes next to the entrance door. "We just need to call the electrician later to install all the lights and devices." "Yeah, that's good," Eden finishes putting the plates and glasses from lunch in the dishwasher. When he leaves the kitchen, he finds his boyfriend flapping hi
