Ignoring my assistant's blatant report in front of my desk, I looked out the window when I saw Lay sitting on the grass with Mark talking with each other. And from what I've been observing, I believe they're playing somewhat of a board game, maybe snake and ladder if that's what you call it.

"That's all sir. Anything you want to clarify sir?"

"Nothing. You can go out now." I replied. When my assistant finally took off leaving me alone in my office, I quickly return back on the window. Seeing Lay laugh was just really good. And I can already see the growing bump on his tummy and I was proud that I will be having my first new born with the person I love. I smiled at that.

I continued looking at Lay when I notice something. I nodded to myself. Maybe it is the right time to do that because after all, we will be having our child. Well, there won't be any problem when I finally did that to him because I know Lay really do love me, plus, a child needs a real family, not a one sided only. And its best to promise each other so that our love will be blessed as we journey our life together.

When I finally decided, I stood up from my swivel leather seat and walk out of my office room while contacting Morgan to prepare the car and wait for me outside.

I will make Lay completely mine.

"Aaarrghh!!!" Mark groaned.

"Ahaha!! I win again Mark!" I exclaimed when I managed to reach the 100 spot of snake and ladder for the 5th time.

"Ugghh... I quit this game, I don't wanna play this thing anymore!" Mark protested again as he pick up the board game and throw it in the air before kicking it and repeating the same action as the board game became nothing like a pile of wood.

"Okay... let's play this!!" He exclaimed as he put some cards in front of us. I beamed.

"I will beat you this time Lay." Mark said proudly and I hide my laughter.

"What're you playing?" Lewell chimed in. Looking at us like were some children's of late generations.

"Nothing. Just some cards. Wanna join?" Mark asked and Lewell happily sat with us as Mark begun shuffling the cards and giving us one by one.

The game progressed as Lewell and I begun winning the game and just letting Mark win the first round to kick off the rowdiness in his face.

Haha... karma.

And again, Mark grabbed the cards and begun kicking on it and ripping it. Me and Lewell begun laughing our heads out it makes me feel so lively today. We've been enjoying the game that we didn't notice it was already 5 in the afternoon.

"I think we should start preparing dinner." I stated and the two immediately agreed. Lewell help me stood up as Mark cleaned up the things he ripped and kicked a while ago. I head into the kitchen and put on my apron as I begun grabbing some ingredients in the stock room. I begun slicing as Mark and Lewell make some desserts and beverages.

The two begun arranging the dinner table as I stood back and just observe them if anything is not in the right place.

"All right that's okay now. Where's master and lady Magnolia?" I asked. Suddenly, Lewell's phone vibrated from his pockets. He excused himself and answered the call on the corner of the room. After a few seconds, he came back.

"Master and Lady Magnolia are out in the city and I believe they won't be home until tomorrow." Lewell informed and that made us disappointed. What about the food we prepared?

"I guess well just have to eat these." Mark happily drool in front while rubbing his hands together in an manner. Me and Lewell exchange looks and sigh in defeat.

"I guess so."

I woke up from the blinding rays of the sun seeping from the curtains. I slowly got up from the bed while rubbing my eyes when I notice through my blurry vision that there were numerous red and white spots. I blinked and took in my surroundings and I gasps. There were red petals and feathers scattered in my bed and around my room.

"What is this?" I asked myself. And suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt someone blindfolded me. I was about to fight back when I heared Mark's voice.

"Just go with the flow Lay. You'll gonna like it." He said with excitement. I just sigh to myself and whined.

"At least let me brush my mouth first." I retorted.

"No more whining lover boy. Let's go." He said as he tried to grab me. But I have better plans. I clutch the headboard tightly that Mark never had the chance on getting me out of that bed. In short, he hates that move from me.

"For the love of! Okay! I'll let you brush your fucking teeth." He surrendered and I beamed. I always have the upper hand when it comes with Mark. He took me into the bathroom and I quickly locked it. He banged the door and that made me frown.

"If you bang the door again, I'm gonna rip your balls." I stated calmly and that immediately stop him from banging the door.

Well, for a neat and clean geek like me, I just don't like leaving the house with only brushing my teeth. So I basically hopped into the shower and cleaned myself thoroughly. And I went out of the bathroom all squeaky clean.

"Fuck! Took you two days to clean your gut." He complained.

"And I'm gonna kick your gut if you complained more." I sadistically smiled at him which made him flinch. He heaved a sigh and came forward, offering the blindfold to me.

"This better be good or else, I'm gonna kick your gut for real." I said through blank tone. He smiled and tied the blindfold over my eyes.

"And if it is something good?" He asked as he led me out of my room.

"I'm still gonna kick you."

"Fair enough."

I think were out of the mansion since the cold breeze of the morning air greeted my skin and I can practically smell the nature before me. We walked further outside until I felt Mark's presence vanish behind me.

"Mark?" I called out but no one answered. Then I heared a violin play somewhere, and I remove my blindfold. And from what I am seeing, I froze on my spot as my tears begun cascading down from my eyes.

I never expected this to happen and I was glad. I could've been very happy and at the same time thankful that I manage to captivate a man who is willing to devote himself to me and love me until eternity. I had sobbed to myself feeling like all the emotions that I had bottled out came pouring out that it made me to the extent to cry in front of everyone.

Today... I felt vulnerable, but at the same time, the happiest person alive on earth.
