The day ended without suspense but the night has brought upon a joy in the hearts of many. This was the time to be with family in order to create fond and worthwhile memories.

And like most others, this kind of atmosphere also happened in a particular mansion inside the huge city of Rodon.

​​

The loud music mixed with happy laughter abounded at this place. Alas, it was curious to observe that almost everyone was still waiting for someone to come.

They were not aware that the man they had all been anticipating to see stood spellbound by the lovely sight of one particular woman.

This was of course happening in real time still far away from the place of festivities.

"You look good." Our bored gamer complimented in small doses. Even though Freya was absolutely stunning at this time, it was not wise to over compliment this kind of woman.

Especially someone like Freya Barnes who has no doubt been praised a trillion and one times ever since she was born into this world.

Freya wore no formal dress or enchanting gown at this time since she was determined to kill the competition.

Thus, she wore the sluttiest garb she had in her possession and was brave enough to follow through her act.

Freya was in a black skin tight micro skirt and her twin peaks were practically hanging by a thread.

Although her nipples were hidden by an annoying little cloth fragment but the subtle bulge was quite arousing to the eyes.

"You look good yourself." Freya smiled sweetly. She gazed at the hot apparel of our bored gamer in a royal blue suit and the involuntary reaction of her body happened once more.

She was beginning to get wet and needy down south. In order to distract herself, Freya tried to recall the differences between Caden and Ben.

Ben looked kind and innocent while Caden had a more raw appeal to the women. Caden was wild but had great depth. A contrast that would only rarely appear.

Ben on the other hand was okay as long as he did not open his mouth. But when he did, one can easily gauge on how immature the young man was.

Thus, Freya could not be blamed for what she was about to do. Tried as she might, it was very hard to resist the truth that she had fallen head over heels with the man before her.

Although she did not know whether this was love or just mere lust but Freya was not about to gamble her happiness in ignorance. She had to find out!

And for that to happen, she needed to fight the bitches away from her boyfriend. Fake or not, Freya was still the one and only true lover of our bored gamer in public.

"Ohhh... Is Sarah not coming?" Clark asked when he realized that the best friend of Freya was not on the scene. This was also among the many firsts of today's surprise.

"She's not feeling well so..." Freya said and it was clear that she was lying. She was also not comfortable in doing this bad thing and it showed rather plainly on her beautiful face.

Luckily for her, our bored gamer was not one to break her bubbles of lies at this time.

"I see. Shall we?" Our good gamer offered a hand and Freya took it in a heartbeat.

"VROM!" A full minute later and a car's speedy drive could be heard long before it was gone. But unbeknownst to all, a gentle woman was sobbing in her lonesome at this time.

'I wish I was in Freya's place. How I wish I was her.' The woman wept until she could not shed no more tears. This was of course none other than Sarah Read.

It was not hard to imagine to have an unrequited love in life since this has befallen to almost everyone that has breath in them. Mortals or immortals alike.

"I'm glad to see you here, Caden!" Iris was blooming in happiness when she finally got to see her most awaited guest.

She hugged our bored gamer and clang a little bit longer than necessary. As for Freya Barnes, Iris never even spared a glance nor a word to the lovely date of our avid gamer.

"Happy birthday, Iris! You look fantastic!" Clark spared a praise then he got his little present for the celebrant. He presented a cute box and uttered the words...

"For you." Iris wanted to open her present now but held her curiosity inside. She took it on her hand and held on tightly as if she was afraid to lose something very important to her.

"Thank you, Caden!" Iris was teary eyed but she felt like she was on the clouds of happiness at this time. This was the first gift that she had received from Caden after all.

"Come with me, Caden. I want you to meet my father. He has heard so much of you and..." Iris recovered well on time and began to enact her plans.

Unfortunately for her, she was bound to achieve another failure yet again.

"Maybe later, Iris. Me and my date tonight is already starving." Our bored gamer dodged with ease and in a breath, he was already leading Freya deeper into the mansion.

Food and drinks were everywhere and it was easy for the pair to find a table for them.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master Caden!"

"Master Caden!"

"Master Caden!"

.

..

...

There were a few disciples on the way and many other acquaintances but Clark merely nodded at these humble souls.

Dinner ended in peace but immediately afterwards, the birthday girl in sexy red dress arrived once more before our very own protagonist.

"Can you take me to dance, Caden?" Iris was quite upfront in her wishes. If Freya was not here then there would be no doubt that Clark would have said yes to this lady's offer.

Sadly, that was not the case.

"I'm still full, Iris. I can't use my dance steps well with a bloated stomach." Our bored gamer threw a jest in the fray.

"Where is Ben by the way? I don't see him around anywhere." Clark asked as he tried to look around one more time.

"He's..." sulking like a child that he is. Iris wanted to say these words but could only hide them with an awkward smile.

"He will be here soon." Iris answered instead.

"Iris! Here!" A man's voice called and Iris could only follow her guest. A birthday celebration was never easy for the celebrant after all.

"Excuse me, Caden. I'll come back later. If you need anything, don't hesitate to see me." These were Iris' last words before she went on to entertain her visitors.

This gave the couple on the table a chance to have some private talk for a change.

"Why don't you like her, Caden?" Freya asked.

"Who?" Clark asked in reply.

"Iris." Freya clarified.

"What's to like about her?" Our bored gamer asked once more and this made Freya smile in full. The humorous comeback was very much a trademark of this man.

She took a deep breath before delivering her next words. This was very important to her.

"What about me?" She opened her heart to him.

"What about you?" He evaded for a time.

"Do you like me, Caden?" She pressed.

"..." And then there was silence.
