LOTUS’S MANSION**
“Those two are surely witches” Nam-Ri said when Lotus came out of the car.
“Ophelia and Enolla, I should be careful of those two I think” she replied and went in quickly.
Starr was already waiting in the living room.
“You even got here before me wow!” She said.
“I couldn’t wait to hug you that’s why I was as fast as the wind” he replied and she smiled before walking into his wide arms.
“You’re so warm” she said and he hugged her tighter.
“You’re cold, I’ve always wondered why your temperature is always cold, mermaid temp” he said and she smiled.
They broke the hug and he kissed her deeply like she wanted.
“I’ll make noodles, I won’t allow you to burn it this time” she said and he laughed as she went upstairs to change
He went into her study and wow escaped his lips when he saw her collection of books.
“Is she a bookworm?” He thought and sighted a particular book on the table.
He went for it and took it, checking the title.
“HOW TO MATE WITH A HUMAN SOULMATE”
He smiled and opened the book, it’s erotic and as he read, he got aroused.
She rushed in and snatched the book from him.
“Don’t read it” she hid it behind.
“I was wondering how you know much about sëx, so you’ve been reading about it” he smiled, trying to suppress himself.
“She saw the bulge in his trousers and looked at him.
“Should we do it now?” She smiled naughtily, going closer to him.
“No!, No not now…not now” he said holding the table.
She stood still, watching him quietly as he started sweating profusely, still holding the table.
“Are you ok?” She asked.
“My head is spinning” he replied, closing his eyes.
“I told you it’ll be hard to fight the cravings” she replied as he continued sweating in pains.
“Make the pains go” he groaned.
“It’s not something I’m capable of handling” she replied and he groaned out painfully, getting her scared.
“Starr!” She made to rush to him but he stopped her with an hand.
“No I’ll be fine” he said and she stopped.
The pains started subsiding and he started releasing heavy breaths.
The bulge went down already.
He let go of the table and stood straight.
Lotus ran to him and hugged him.
“Sorry soulmate”
He closed his eyes and hugged her back.
“The blue house” he said and her eyes widened.
“You’re right!” She left him and rushed upstairs to dress up.
“Will I be able to hold it in for long?, It was so painful” he thought.
She came downstairs some minutes later, dressed gorgeously in a short free gown, colour blue.
“How do I look?” She turned around and he smiled.
“Adorable as always, I’ll wait here till you’ll be back” he replied.
“No it’ll be boring alone, why don’t you go home, I’ll call you when I’m back” she replied and he held her waist.
“I’ll expect it” he said and kissed her neck before doing same to her lips.
She smiled before leaving the house with him, hand in hand.

AN HOTEL**
Judy got down from the taxi and went in after paying.
She has a scarf covering her head and black shades on, giving her a perfect disguise.
She went in after looking around.
“Isn’t that Judy?” Mrs Luther wondered inwardly as she drove past the hotel.
“Oh maybe I was wrong, Judy never uses scarfs and shades” she said, resting back on her chair.
“Move” she told the driver.
Judy rode the elevator to a particular floor and when she got to room 400, she smiled before entering the room.
“What took you so late” a man’s voice said and she smiled, throwing her bag on the bed after taking off her shades and scarf
“Getting ready for you” she said and the man carried her, her legs tightened on his waist.
“Your son is stubborn” he said, rubbing her b*tt.
“He took after his dad” Judy giggled shortly.
“I love you dear” the man said.
Judy took off her blouse, throwing it away.
“I love you” she replied and crashed her lips instinctively on the man’s.

THE KING’S MANSION**
Bluey entered the study and met Tasha seated already.
He sat grumpily in front of her and she smiled.
“Where are your books?” She asked sternly.
“How old are you?” He replied, looking at her.
Talking about beauty, he won’t deny she’s pretty, very pretty.
“What has my age got to do with this” she replied.
“Your age” he insisted.
“I’m nineteen” she replied and his eyes widened.
“What!, You’re just one year older than me yet you’ll be my tutor?”.
“Chairman Kings payed me so you must sit and obey me” she replied.
“I don’t want to, I won’t do this” he replied and stood.
He started leaving the room.
“Stop right there!” She ordered.
He left without replying but met four guards in front of the room.
“You must go back in young master, it’s the chairman’s order” one of them said.
“I’m not gonna take tutorials from that kid, not me” he replied and made to leave but he was blocked.
“Wanna die?, Move” he glared
They kept blocking and when he made to apply force, he was bundled into the shoulders of one of them.
“Put me down!!, Put me down jerk!!, Put me down!!!” He screamed as he was taken back into the study.

LUTHER’S MANSION, 6PM**
Martin went for a walk some minutes ago and when he came back, he knew immediately that his dad has done it again.
His mum’s face is swollen.
“Mum!”
He sat beside her on the couch.
“I’m fine” she replied and he stood.
“No mum, let’s end this tonight, let’s leave this house right now, I can’t take this anymore” he said seriously, pulling her arm.
“Martin….
“It’s enough mum!, Let’s get out!”
“No Martin, you have to go to school, how will I be able to sponsor you if we leave this house, I can’t” she replied.
“Then let’s sue him, let’s sue that bastard!” He yelled, crying as he did.
“We can’t do that either, if we do then our finances from him will be over, your future will be destroyed!!” She cried too and his arms dropped.
“Martin try to understand, Martin…
He stormed out of the house immediately, wiping his tears as they blinded him.
He kept crying, looking at his phone screen.
He dialled the first number he thought of.
*****
Lotus smiled for the uptenth time as she drove to the blue house.
If Nam-Ri had moved with the wind, they’ll be in blue house already but he’s moving naturally at her orders and she kept staring out of the window, admiring the stars.
They always remind him of her soulmate and it’s crazy that she’s missing him already.
She suddenly remembered the invitation card.
“I didn’t bring it!” She gasped and was about to check when her phone rang.
“Hello” she picked the call.
“Lotus..” Martin said with a broken voice .
“Martin what’s wrong?”, Why are you crying?”
“Can I see you now?, Please just come, I need you” he cried and she became confused.
The president or her friend.
“Where are you?” She asked, deciding to choose friendship.
‘Blue house can wait’ she thought.
“The park” Martin replied and she ordered Nam-Ri to turn back which he did.
He drove with the wind this time and three minutes later, they’re at the park.
Martin is truly sitting there, crying so loud.
She rushed out of the car and ran to him.
“Martin!” She called, scared that something bad happened.
“Lotus” he replied and his teary face shone as he hugged her so tight.
“Martin…”
“Stay with me like this…. Stay with me Lotus” he cried on her shoulder as he hugged her more closely.
Lotus slowly hugged him back.
