Enzo just finish his daily workout from Sabrina's gym. After his warm bath with Versace, he dry Versace with his own towel and blower. He has been taking care of Versace since it's what Catriona want him to do. Soon, she'll be back home and he will tell her of his own accomplishments.
He then pack a few things for Versace and his laptop then he brought her to the café. Versace like the atmosphere in the café since it's a friendly animal café. They are even selling treats for pets. He bought Versace his favorite treat and let her sit in front of him while he's working on another program.
"Is that your Pitbull?" he stop and turn around to see a pretty girl wearing a pink dress and a sling clutch admiring his Pitbull.
"Ye-yes." He said and smile at her charmingly.
"Can I pet him?" She asked and he nodded. She look adorable and girly. She move closer and extend her hand to Versace. "Hi, I'm Eunice." She talk to his dog. His dog of course offer his hand just the way Catriona taught him.
"That's Versace." Enzo said. Eunice look so fond of him.
"He has a very peculiar color. I never seen anyone like it."
"Uhuh… Versace is one of the kind. My sister chooses well." He said. It's been a while since he had conversation with a woman.
"Is it alright if I sit here with you? I am not bothering anything—"
"No. It's fine." He said and offer his hand. "I'm Enzo."
"Eunice." She smile charmingly and shook his hand.
Instead of him finishing his own program, he ended up talking to the girl and drank tea with her until afternoon. It was nice talking with someone else other than his dog, the maids, butlers and his own AI. He suddenly missed Catriona but how long will Catriona be in EPUA?
He drove off after talking his time getting to know a new friend who love dogs just like Catriona. He glance at Versace who's sitting at the backseat.

"So, what do you think of Eunice then? As your—baby sitter?" He asked his dog. "Or nanny?"
Versace whines and howls at him. It doesn't sound good at all.
"Okay, sorry. I know that you love Cat… and I love her too—dearly. But how long would Cat be away? Is she still coming back?" It's been months. Aria already gave birth to twins and Sabrina and Gabriel are reigning in their own kingdoms. He is still waiting. How long is he going to wait then?
He drove his car back to the mansion and greeted his father who is reading one of his sister's book. He greets him and he nodded as he sipped on his tea.
"You are reading Game of Thrones." He noted.
"I want to understand how your sister's mind works."
Enzo laugh.
"Dad, no one can understand how Sabrina's mind works, except for Gabby." Enzo said. Ferdinand stop reading and look up at him.
"What do you mean by that?" Ferdinand frown a little.
"That's because, Brina and Gabby are soul mates and—they understand each other without words. That's how their spirituality works."
He went back to his room and lay down on his bed. He close his eyes and all his thoughts were filled with Catriona. But suddenly, he can't remember her face anymore. He was eager to see her again. He reach his phone and open it. He then search for Catriona's photos and he sigh seeing her smile on that night.
"There you are… I don't want to forget that beautiful face and seductive smile of yours so—I just want to see you again, hug you and kiss you." He sigh and threw his phone. He drop his back on the bed. "This is useless." He mutter.

It was Veronica's last day in the office and the COO's former secretary is already well and now training new assistant for Tony. Tony was displeased of her resigning but he couldn't stop her or anything at all.
Then he thought, maybe it is time for both of them to have a normal relationship. She never agreed on living together but maybe he might persuade her.

"V, what would you like for dinner tonight?" He asked her like he always do.
"I am busy tonight. I have something urgent to do."
"It's your last day at work…"
"Tony, after five minutes pass, we are no longer employee-employer." She want to be clear with him. She has to get ready for her next task. The real task.
"Then, I'll come over to your unit since you don't want to live with me. I'll live with you." He won't take any excuses anymore. They've been overstepping a lot of boundaries on each other's body but never go too far since he wanted to preserve it for their honeymoon that would never happen.
"Don't you have anything else to do with your life, Mr. Lawson?" she asked him.
Time is ticking and soon—she'll stepped out from the company and act like she had never been there and change her identity immediately. Tony walk around the table and pull her small back, scoop her jaw and plant his mouth with hers, passionately making love with her lips.
He release it for what seemed like a minute and they are both breathless. She was dizzy from that kiss. He didn't want to let her go and it feels so—so passionate than before. He clutch her back before she falls. Her legs wobble and her arms wrapped around him for support.
"Veronica." He caress her lips with his thumb. "Our kiss is always passionate. We both don't have control with each other's body."
She pushes him and she stepped back.
"I'll be leaving. I wish you have a good health Mr. Lawson." She fix herself and leave his office. She pick her box and give the car key to Tony's long term secretary. She uses the elevator and employees that are on the elevator with her start murmuring at each other and probably texting each other through phone just to gossip about her.
She maintained her composure, stand straight and ignore them. Soon, the elevator opens and she stepped out. Outside there's a car already waiting for her. Whiskey open the car door for her and Brandy who is disguise in a Korean style nerd, took her box.
Once she's inside. She remove her eyeglasses and wipe her lipstick then remove her blouse. Since she's wearing a camisole under, it wasn't necessary for her to cover up herself in front of the two. They have seen her wearing only her under garnets.
She put her jacket on and then they step into her favorite café. As soon as she enters, she take her order from them and her eyes stopped on Enzo. Enzo is with Versace and he's talking to a girl wearing a girly purple dress. They seemed intimate with each other as they laugh and they are playing a video game that he probably made.
Enzo seemed lively as she watch him. Maybe he had already moved on since it's been more than six months that Catriona left for her mission. Love can change. If she left Tony all of those words he said and promised her would eventually become a bluff and just words without action. Her heart was half relieved but why does it still pain her so much?
She pity Catriona since her sister was also in love with Enzo and she just couldn't say it because of their work. She now will have to move on as all of those sensual attachment with Tony will become a fantasy. Guess that she will die as a virgin.
"Tea, Macchiato and Americano for Nica." The barista called. She took all of those and left with a pain on her chest.
She sat down in the passenger seat passing the drinks to them. She knows that Tony will be in her condo so she told them to drive directly to the Elite Bar.
She will never have Tony. They aren't just meant for each other. Her eyes followed Enzo smiling and laughing with a woman as their car drove off.
"You look melancholy." Brandy noted. She just look outside ignoring his comment.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
