The car stopped in front of the large villa. Ethan jumped out of the car and walked to the passenger's seat at the front and opened the door for Aviana. Aviana stepped out of the car, and she couldn't help smiling at Ethan's gentle-like gesture. "Thank you," she said softly, smiling. "The pleasure is all mine," he responded, smiling back at her. Then, he moved to bring out the shopping bags from the car. Aviana attempted to help him carry the bags, but he was quick to refuse her. Aviana didn't ponder on it much, she walked behind him and headed inside. But, before they could walk into the house, Hayden rushed to them. He had heard the car drive in, so he came here rushing knowing fully well it was Ethan. "Ethan, you came!" he screamed happily as he rushed to him and suddenly held him by his waist, hugging him tightly. Aviana somehow, felt jealous. Because, the little boy was her brother, but as it is now, it looked like Ethan was the little boy's brother? She stood there, like a st

"So, where are we headed to?" Aviana asked as soon as Ethan climbed in the car, while she continued to buckle up the seat belt."Wherever you wanna go, baby," came his simple reply, not forgetting to give her a brief smile. Aviana was taken a back by the word 'baby' The way it sounded when he said it, felt so good. She couldn't help smiling as she gazed at him, her eyes filled with love and affection for this man who sat beside her. After a while of staring at his gorgeous face, Aviana sighed deeply before she replied back, "Well, how about we try the amusement park, first?""What! Are you a kid? The park is only meant for kids?" he teased her."Well....I'm my mother's child!" she blurted out, finding no other words to refute him. He laughed. Then, he started the engine and drove off. From a far, a black car was parked at the other side of the road. The car waited for a few seconds until Ethan's car had driven for quite a distance before the driver took off, following behind their car

Ethan turned around to face the woman. He didn't look surprised at all. After all, she had wanted to get back at him for making her lose, earlier. Even after knowing that had been her intention or rather, her prayer, if that was even the best word to describe everything, he still questioned, a deep frown settling on his face, and pretended to be surprised. "Why do I feel like your intentions were to make me lose rather than win? Baby, did you want me to lose?" Hearing his words, Aviana who had been excitedly jumping up and down, halted mid-way, snapping out of her excitement. She was quick to cover up her excitement and wore a different expression, that of a person who was hurt by his sudden accusations. And truth be told, she really was good at it, because right now, if Ethan hadn't masked out her true intentions, he too would fall victim of her petty tactics. One would think she had taken a back up course in acting. "Of course not, babe? Why would you even say that? Didn't I warn,

The couple immediately left the haunted house and went to their next destination. As soon as they had left, the man who had been tailing them suddenly appeared from his hiding place. He looked at their disappearing silhouettes for a while before he continued to tail their back without their knowledge. On their way, Ethan happened to come across an old man who was selling flowers. An idea popped in his mind as he smiled in satisfaction."Baby, go ahead. I'll be with you shortly," he turned to Aviana and informed her. Aviana didn't know what he was upto. She nodded slightly before she walked away. Ethan walked back to the old man who was selling the flowers. The Oldman wore tatty clothes that seemed to have been repaired severally. His hair was gunmetal-Grey. His eyes were blood-flecked because of his old age. But, they were a sparkling, blue color and he seemed to see everything. "Hey mister. What type of flowers would you like to buy?" the old man asked him, when he approached. He ha

Ethan walked behind her while he smiled proudly. He took out his phone secretly, and typed a message before he pressed on the send button. At that moment, a deafening bang reached their ears as fireworks exploded and scattered thousands of tiny sparks into the sky. Aviana instantly looked up to the sky. The impressive display of the fireworks made her Jaws drop. Immediately after, the words, 'I LOVE YOU AVIANA,' were clearly visible on the sky. She was speechless. Infact, speechless was an understated way. She knew, it had to be definitely Ethan's doing. What had she done to deserve such a man like himself? It turned out, the accident that happened to Hayden in someway, happened for a good course. A good course like them meeting each other and being together?Tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of joy, though. Had she ever been happier in her life? She turned to face him. Looking at the man who stood in front of her, his smiling face was just an out of this world type o
