"So, how was the place, huh? You people took so long to come back. I thought you were going to settle down there instead of coming here." Anna asked her friend suspiciously as she unpacked her luggage.She had seen Zach drop Hera off him but something was strange to her and that was; she was expecting her friend to come out of the car immediately but she didn't. Anna and Austin stared at the window for what seemed to be minutes but their beloved Hera was yet to show herself to that made Anna suspicious but not the young Austin who had something else in mind.Austin was also in the room but whatever they were saying was none of this business. He was only concerned with what Zach informed him about the stuff that he had brought as a gift for him. "Here, Austin." Hera gave him the package and he collected it. "Thanks, Mum." He immediately jumped right on opening it. To their surprise, it was the latest wristwatch.Even Hera was surprised to see it. Austin lifted it for everyone to see.

It was another beautiful Monday morning that some considered to be loveable for them while others considered overbearing, especially for the lazy ones. "Moreover, the percentage of those who actually hate Mondays is higher than any other day," Anna concluded and turned off her iPad after she finished reading. Today, they didn't take her car and went by bus instead. Hera looked at her friend and smiled. "What about you? Do you hate Mondays?" "Sometimes, I do and sometimes I don't. It's just a matter of the mood I happen to be in when that day comes every week. You?" "Mondays are the best days of my life. I love Mondays." Hera responded cheerfully. She glanced at her phone. It was almost seven in the morning. She was sure that Zach would have been on his way or might have gotten there.She felt a little bit tensed up because she didn't know how things were going to look for her today. What if he showed up and said he wasn't interested anymore? What if she messed up? What if he didn

The relationship between Zach and Hera was going smoothly and it felt easy to hide at first. Zach was the one working harder on the relationship and building more info their closeness as a couple. He would often sneak to her place in the middle of the night while he left Blake to clean his mess whenever any came up.At this point, Hera received Anna's call from downstairs that someone was asking after her. Immediately, she packed her things up and left the office. Zach had not been around for two days so staying inside the office was such a big blow to her face. She had no one to stare at or stare at her. She felt completely lonely once more but then his calls kept her going most time.As soon as she came out of the elevator, she saw a delivery man. He was wearing a long-sleeved red shirt and black pants alongside the baseball cap that had a badge for the company that he was working with. "He said that he is here for you." Anna pointed when she saw Hera. She was surprised to see a

"So, you decided to keep the truth away from me, Hera?" Anna asked after listening to Hera's side of the story.Hera sighed and nodded her head apologetically. "I didn't wish to, Anna. I was going to tell you sooner or later but I was just a bit skeptical about everything. I wasn't sure that it would work out since we just started and I was also scared as well." "Scared? Why would you be scared?" "About the attention that I might receive for being with him." "Who cares? Someone has to settle down with him anyway. If you both love each other it's fine. He is also aware of this and he is ready to fight against the world for the both of you so I see no reason why you shouldn't do the same too." Anna responded.Hera sighed again. "So, do you love me?" Anna asked her friend eagerly. "Well...he seems okay to begin with and his smile...his touch...his words everything seems to affect my brain in so many aspects. I only pretend not to be affected when in reality, I am so much affected

"Where are you, Austin?" Zach called out after he removed his hands from his eyes. He looked around the sitting room in search of the little boy. He then stood up with a smile. "You are very sneaky, aren't you?" He added and started to look everywhere else. He searched under the table, behind the couches and sofas but he couldn't find him.He then looked at Hera helplessly, expecting her to help him. "Aren't you going to help me?" He asked her.She smiled, "Why should I? I wasn't the one who started the game after all." She answered and continued kneading the dough. "You are such a heartless person." Zach scoffed and walked away in search of Austin.Hera shook her head and turned around. After a few more minutes, she heard Austin squeal while Zach shouted with happiness for having found him.Austin ran out to hug his mother while laughing hysterically. "I told you that I was going to find you," Zach smirked. "I simply made it easy for you." Austin shot back. "Yea
