"I don't want to!" Carnation yelled as she tried to flee the room, but Luca was too quick. The young man grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Hecarried her to in front of the water tank."No! I said I didn't want to touch it! No!" She fought back, but the young man wouldn't let her go. Luca burst out laughing because she was already inconsolable."I thought you wanted to touch my anaconda? Come on!" the young man says to her, laughing. Perhaps it was heavy and difficult in his position, because Luca lowered her only to raise her again—bridal style. Carnation, who was terrified of the anaconda, clung to the young man's neck tightly."I don't want to! I changed my mind!" Carnation almost squeezed her face on Luca's neck just so that he wouldn't let her go and lowered her in front of the water tank."Are you really scared of snakes?" the young man asked, still laughing. He still didn't lower her but she was sure the water tank was only a few centimeter

"What are you doing out here? It's cold out here." Carnation smiled then Wren wrapped the thick shawl over her shoulder."Thank you Kuya Wren...," she said.The young man leaned over and held onto the railings of the balcony. He looked up at the dark sky. Wren Leath has been with her since the cheating incident. He served as her guide to accept and weather the storm of her life. Wren helped her in so many ways; he also hid her at times when she did not want to see and talk to Wregan. She could not stay at her parents' house then, because she was afraid to let them know that she and Wregan had broken up, so when Wren offered her to temporarily hide in his house, Carnation immediately agreed. Wren Leath is like an older brother to her.Wren turned to her. "Is there a problem? Earlier I noticed you weren't in focus," Wren asked her worriedly."It's nothing Kuya Wren. You don't have to worry, I'm okay. Maybe I'm just tired of work and watching over Carl Gem."

"I will not be subjected to an advanced physical examination," Carnation strongly denied. "But I can consider serving you tonight, Mr. Lust, sir..." Luca couldn't answer right away, Carnation's offer to him was unexpected. His server tonight? What exactly does she mean? Wait, is referring to— Damn it!He met Carnation's gaze on him and frowned at her asking, "A-are you sure?""Yes! You're my boss, why not?" Luca swallowed hard. He was suddenly tense. Is it true that she wants to serve him? Then that part of his body suddenly became tense. Damn it, calm down buddy!"I-I see." His gaze turned to the bookshelf in their opposite direction. "I have a private room here," he said and nervously looked back at Carnation.Carnation smiled. "Okay! Let's start so we can finish right away." Luca was swallowed hard again. F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! He is getting more excited, damn maybe he will suddenly cum out of time!Luca got up from the swivel chair and went to

Carnation couldn't say anything. She simply stood on the side of the road, staring into the eyes of the young man with his hand outstretched. She was surprised to see him here. Why is her boss standing in front of their home? "Carnation!!" she heard her father say from inside the house. She returned her gaze to their home before turning to face Luca once more. He continued to smile at her, not lowering his outstretched hand. Carnation heard her father call her name again, but before he could reach her outside the house, Carnation reached for Luca's outstretched hand, and with quick movements, he led her into the shotgun seat, and when the young man took the wheel, he immediately pulled the vehicle away from their house. They were both quiet on the journey, the young man not speaking to her. Carnation also lacked the courage to speak about what had happened earlier. She was perplexed by what she had discovered about her own life. She wants nothing more than to go away

"I'd like you to meet Lilith," Luca said as he pressed the black button on the wall. In the living room, a large painting of a snake tilts to the left side of the wall. When a 2-foot-tall by 3-foot-wide by 8-foot-long cage appeared behind the painting, Carnation's eyes widened. "Wow!" Carnation exclaimed, speechless at what she saw. "She's a white albino reticulated python," Luca said, pointing at the large snake in front of them. Carnation couldn't take her gaze away from the young man's pet python. The enormous snake is stunning. It has a very nice color, which is a mixture of white and yellow. "She's beautiful...," she exclaimed again as she moved closer to the cage's glass. "Can you tell me the name of your pet anaconda in Manila? I don't recall you mentioning it." "Oh, the green anaconda; her name is Eve," she smiled as she nodded to the young. "Did you know, when I was young, I had a snake named Adam. But I'm not sure where he is now or
