The following day.
Exactly at 8:00 am, Jessy finally awaken.
She woke up to a beautiful morning, she marveled at Adam's handsome face beside her, she has gotten used to his new look, he doesn't look bad though, he is eye candy for the majority of women out there but for her, he will always be her Adam, her soulmate.
She continues to stare at his face...tracing the contour of his face.
Adam smiled and opened his eyes, his hand moved to reach for Jessy's hands capturing it and he planted a kiss on her palm.
"Good morning!" she said cheerfully.
"Good morning, sweetie pie," he replied and grinned.
She cringed and giggled, so cliche! "Don't call me sweetie pie ever again," she bit her lip in amusement.
"Good morning my love!" he mumbled, giving her a lopsided smile.
Jessy rolled her eyes...she rose from the bed and entered the bathroom.
Adam entered the bathroom after Jessy was done with her morning ritual. He tried to pinch her cute nose but she ducked swiftly away from him, she was laughing.
Jessy changed into her cotton black pants and plain white t-shirt and let her hair loose cascading down her back. She waited for Adam to get out of the bathroom so that they can go to the canteen in the outer part of the Facility and eat mouthwatering human foods.
A few minutes later, Adam exited the bathroom and looked at Jessy. "Where are we going?"
"Let's eat breakfast in the canteen!" she said. "I want to eat fluffy pancake coated with strawberry syrup and hot chocolate coffee for my breakfast today," she was blabbering, her eyes gleaming.
Adam walked towards the door, he turned around and beckoned to her. "Come on...let's go to the canteen!"
Jessy sprinted from the bed and grabs Adam's right hand. "Let's go!"

They exited the room and walked in the hallway that will lead them towards the outer part of the Facility.
When they entered the canteen, it was deserted. The majority of human workers start eating breakfast as early as 6:00 in the morning 'coz they will start working in the dome tending to the plants at 8:00 sharp.
"Wow, the canteen is all ours!" Adam said in amazement.
Jessy laughed. "Were lucky today!" she pulled him towards the glass counter to see the variety of dishes displayed in there. She squealed in delight when she saw the remaining 5 pieces of pancake left in the counter. "I want all of that 5 pieces of pancake with strawberry syrup, then eggplant omelet and a cup of hot chocolate coffee, please!" she said excitedly.
Adam inspected the remaining food, there were sandwiches, bananas, apples, ham, sunny side up egg, eggplant omelet, hot dog, chicken fillet, rice, and fried fish.
He pointed at the sandwich, chicken fillet, sunny side up egg and requested a hot coffee as well.
The smiling canteen attendant put all the chosen foods into the tray.
Adam and Jessy carry their food tray into the nearest vacant table and starts eating their yummy breakfast.
Twenty minutes later...
Jessy was rubbing her stomach feeling satisfied. "Wow, I'm so full! How about you Adam?" she looked at him...he was still eating the remaining foods on his plate.
Adam's eyes twinkled and made a thumbs-up sign with his finger to her. "The foods here taste super delicious!"
"You can have some fruits if you want," she suggested.
Adam shook his head. "Nah, I'm so full! I can no longer add more foods in my stomach," he said while sipping his coffee.
Jessy smiled fondly at her boyfriend.
"Let's go to the flower garden after you finish your coffee," she suggested.
"Sure, I will go wherever you want me to go," he said.

A few moments later, the loved up couple left the canteen and ventured into the dome where the flower garden was being housed and cultivated.
Inside the garden, the only saw five human workers attending to the flowers, they were situated at the far end.
Adam and Jessy settled comfortably on the bench nearest to them.
They scanned the multitude of flowers in front of them.
Occupying the center are white begonias and pink peony, on the left corner is the blooming pink and red roses and on the right corner are the yellow and red striped tulips, all flowers were in full bloom creating a colorful magical scenery around them.
The explosion of bright colors are breathtaking to see, it can dazzle a human soul and leave anyone in awe.
The couple held the hands of each other, they were cocooned in loving comfortable silence.
Jessy looked at Adam, he seemed to be preoccupied. "Hey, penny for your thoughts...what are you thinking?" she asked curiously.
Adam looked at Jessy. He thinks it's now the perfect time to tell her about his plan. "Jess, I am planning to transfer all my powers to my brother Zain, what do you think about my plan?"
Jessy bit her lower lip in shocked. Suddenly the flowers in front of her were rapidly losing their appeal, she no longer feels good.
Adam saw the sudden change of Jessy's expression, there's raw apprehension in her eyes.
"No! Don't ever do that!" she finally retorted.
Adam frowned upon hearing the hard resistance on Jessy's voice. "Huh? Why?"
Jessy looked at him hard in the eyes. "If you do that, Zain will harm you if you no longer have any power to defend yourself, he will break us apart, although he can't hurt me, he won't hesitate to hurt you even if you are his brother, just don't do it. Just stop thinking about it, please..." she said.
Adam sighed deeply, he was now torn between trying to help his brother and trying not to offend the woman who owned his heart. "Let's not be judgmental when it comes to my brother, he already loses everything, I'm sure if he can regain his power back he won't feel so hopeless anymore...," he reasoned.
All the time they were talking she never took her eyes off from his face. "Adam please listen to me, your brother is different, no, we can't trust him! I don't want us to quarrel over this," she said adamantly, tears began to form in the corner of her eyes.
Adam relented. "Okay, I will no longer pursue it," he said because he was seeing that she was on the verge of crying.
Jessy smiled and planted a quick kiss on his lips. "Thank you for listening to me, Adam, it means a lot to me," she said.
Adam draped his arms on her shoulder drawing her stiff body to his, her body soften. "Let's just enjoy the beauty of the flowers," he said.
They retreated into a comfortable silence.
Each has different thoughts running on their heads.
Jessy raised her head, her eyes boring into his. "Just let me finish converting the 5k vampires into mortals and then we can leave this place and let's travel the world together, okay?" she gave him her sweetest smile.
"Okay Jess, your wish is my command," he said.
The couple continues to admire and enjoy the beautiful scenery around them.
Two hours later.
Adam bid goodbye to Jessy...he needs to return to his place to start honoring his modeling commitment for the entire week.
When Adam was already gone...
He failed to see the sadness gripping Jessy's countenance.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
