"Can you stop laughing?" Amelia narrowed her eyes at him and sternly asked.
"No!" He simply shook his head before chuckling at what was unfolding before his eyes.
Amelia was looking quite agitated with stains of flour on her face, arms, and on the apron she was wearing. Her hands were covered in a gooey substance, which was the worst shape a dough could be in. And the uneasiness ...
"This new Entertainment Plaza will be completed by the end of May, next year..." Amelia briefed the guests about their new project that was displayed on the screen. "This will be the first in the chain of future Entertainment Plazas bearing this unique architectural design, and we call it the Project Element." As soon as she revealed the name, the screen behind her displayed the unique logo of ...

Like every other Sylus Hotel, it stood out amongst all surrounding buildings because of its trademark wooden look and octagonal design.

"Have a nice day, Mr President!" A delegation of employees saluted to him before taking their leave from his office.
Keith sat back in his seat, sinking in it, and took a deep breath.
"Finally." He heaved a sigh of relief and smiled when he heard Sebastian chuckle at his words.
This was probably the most hectic day of Keith's life. He had to wake up early in the morning a...

"Keith!"
The girl in her pajamas nearly screamed when she found him standing outside the door of her apartment.
"Good Evening, Nana." He smiled at her. "May I come inside?"
"Who is it, Nana?" A feminine voice sounded out from inside the apartment, and Nana immediately stepped aside, welcoming Keith insid...
"Yay!!!"
"Awesome!"
Kiara and Ben happily applauded for him when he finished playing another song for them.
"Thank you!" He smiled at them. "Let's start with your lesson now."
"No!" Ben vehemently shook his head. "You haven't played Carol of the Bells yet! It is Christmas time, and Carol of the Bells is a must!"
"Ben's right! I want to listen to Carol of the ...
His deep brown eyes fluttered open and he sat up on his bed, yawning to wake up his bodily fuctions from sleep. He then stretched out his arms and back, and leaned back, supporting himself on his arms. His eyes drifted towards the clock on the wall and he sighed as he relazied that it was almost noon.
He had pulled another long night last night, and it wasn't a night of passion this tim...
"You have already recognised her, old man. Do you need my word for it?" Keith smirked. "But she won't be enough of a leverage over you, right? After all, she has been touched by another man, her womb has been sullied by another seed, and you will most likely kill her and her family now that you know she has been alive all these years. But you want some answers first from her. Isn't that right?"...
2022-03-12 19:58:33 +0000 UTC View PostInside a Royal-blue colored Rolls Royce Phantom, two young men sat in the back seat, silently going through some files.
The girl driving the car was solely focused on her job, wearing no expressions on her face. Right behind their Car was an Audi, which belonged to her, but was currently occupied by two other guards of her Master.
"Good job!" Keith handed back the files to Sebas...
"I am fine!" The cheerful girl on the other end happily informed him.
"And how is your little brother doing?"
"He is doing fine now." Alana lightly said. "I was really worried about him, but now he is getting used to the new place and I can tell that he quite likes it here."
"That's good. You had your vocal assessments today?" He guessed.
"Yes!" She nodded. "I as...
Amelia and Keith got up early the next morning, getting only three hours of sleep after going to bed late at night.
It was going to be a busy day for the two of them and they spent a couple of hours after breakfast to prepare for it.
Keith had his scheduled meeting with the IT Team that he had formed for his company. And he was going to discuss the project 'Memoir' with them tha...
"Two of your Special Rice, 2 Roasted Ducks, the Six Sauces, and we would like to first have your special Chicken Broth Soup, four servings." Keith placed the order to the pair sisters who were cutely dressed as waitresses. "I do hope you still have the Roasted Ducks for us." He amiably smiled at them, which made the older girl blush.
"We have six left!" The little one, who was around th...
Sameran Palace, previously known as the Citadel on the Clouds, was situated in the heart of the Agnolian Hills by the Old Town. With its first foundation laid nearly 2000 years ago, it was considered amongst the oldest Palaces in the world and had been home to three different dynasties.
After the passing of the last King of Sameran, the Palace was declared as a Heritage site the day the...
Qingyue kept glancing at the handsome boy who was sitting across her in the library. She knew that he was working on something concerning his new IT Company, but it had already been three hours since they arrived here when their classes ended.
She herself had some work to do, and she had just finished it. However, Keith was still working seriously on his project. She was curious what ex...
"Checkmate!"
Amelia planted her Knight on F5, trapping Keith's King from all sides with the help of her Queen, Bishop, and Rook.
Keith kept staring at the board for a while, trying to process everyrhing that had just happened. He was not going easy on her since he knew how fierce her Chess Skills were, but still, how he got played by her on the board was too much of a shock for ...
Keith did not want to wait at the Arrivals with so many people around. He had asked May to make the arrangements, but it still took him a few minutes to get the gate pass and go through the security checkpoint to be allowed to wait at the Arrival Gate.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, keeping his eyes at the passageway, waiting for her arrival.
The flight had safel...
"You should, at least, try hiding them." Qingyue scoffed at him and then turned to look ahead on the road.
"Is it that bad?" He chuckeld and used the rearview mirror, switching off the digital view to check on his neck, where several fading hickeys could still be traced out under his open-collared shirt.
"Yes!" She glared at him. "Do you know that all the girls in the class were...
"What are you planning, Mother?"
Keith looked at his mother, who was wearing a light smile on her lips since she returned home. And right now, she was sitting on his couch, going through all the information of Kiara right in front of him.
He knew that something was brewing in her mind the moment she had asked Kiara to call her 'Mother', and he was more sure of it now that she ha...
"I did not do it specifically for an Alliance, Uncle. And an Alliance would not be a bad thing for us." Keith told him. "You know the situation better than me, and Mourntale are financially in a dire state after the Cold War, but they managed to preserve their strength better than the other families. And an Alliance wth my family would help them financially, which would make sure that their ene...

Keith had never before seen his little sister so nervous in her life, but at this moment, he did not dare to step forward and help her out. He knew that it would only result in hurting Venessa more.

"Let's play again!" Benjamin cutely announced.
Even after losing several games in quick succession, he was not in the least discouraged and wanted to play more.
"That's enough for today, Ben." Keith gently ruffled his hair and smiled at him. "We will play some other day."
The little boy deflated a little at his words, but soon recovered and smiled brightly.

Keith ended up staying at the University till Nana's classes finished, and then after dropping her off at her new home, he headed straight to the Angelini Estate.
His Grandfather and Mother would arrive there at 2 pm for Lunch, and he wanted to meet Kiara before that and have some alone time with her.
"Brother!" As soon as he stepped out of the car, a girl in simple jeans and a ...
"Did you finish your Accoutning assignment?" Qingyue asked as she sat right next to him. Her gorgeous grey eyes curiously looked at him, and then a light smile crept on her face. "You seem a little too refreshed. Did something good happen?"
"Just had a good sleep last night." He honestly said, and then nodded his head. "Finished and submitted it before breakfast."
"I convinced m...
Walking down the hallway, he smiled fondly as he recalled the reluctance of Nana to part with him when he dropped her home.
She wanted him to stay over, but Keith refused her request, and since it was pretty late, he did not come inside to see her mother as well. However, he did promise to pick her up in the morning to take her to the University.
He frowned slightly as he realzi...
"Is your mother well now?"
"Yes!" Nana nodded her head to Qingyue. "She was discharged yesterday, and I took her home. She can walk now without any problem, but the Doctor suggested that she should stick to bed for another week."
"And you are not staying with her to take care of her?" Keith smirked at her, and Nana cutely pouted at him.
"She was there when Aunt May inform...
"Keith did not lie to me when he said that you are breath-takingly beautiful!" Venessa gently cupped the cheek of Qingyue and commented, which made the girl burn in a furious blush and avert her eyes.
"Of course, she's beautiful! I am her mother!" Celine smugly smiled and added, which earned her a snort from Venessa.
"She's more beautiful than you, Celine." She commented and the...
Celine and Qingyue insisted on getting a tour around the Demiliore Estate, and since Keith was free this afternoon, he accompanied them.
They visited the Ranch, where both the ladies spent quite some time to be around all the animals.
Keith introduced them to his favorite horse, and even offered a ride, but both the ladies refused.
Celine was simply scared of horses, cou...
"Aww..."
And there she was again, gushing over the cutest girl Celine had ever seen in her life.
Minami was so focused on serving Keith lunch that it just melted the hearts of the Mother and Daughter who were sitting at the table.
Qingyue did not show it or say anything, but she was also fondly smiling at the little girl. However, her mother was on the verge of breaking o...
"Welcome to my humble house, Miss and Mrs Lin!" He mischievously bowed to them with a bright smile, which earned him a snort from Qingyue, and some giggles for Celine.

The light smile on his face only brightened as he watched the little girl carefully change the bandages on his left hand.
The wounds were already scabbed over, and he had been using his Medicine Skills to help it heal faster. There was really no need to have the bandages on, but he did it to avoid the irritation and keep it away from the eyes of Venessa.
Of course, she would fig...
