I nodded as he did as he wanted to me. We do it to the kitchen, and bathrooms, and would sneak away from Arson sometimes. I never imagined I would be in pure bliss for the whole week.
As soon as I was off from work, Theon was waiting for me standing by his car. Everyone was staring at him as he looked like some model doing some photoshoot. As soon as we went to his home, Arson was the most happy between us. He saw us holding hands always and kissing each other so he knew everything was well.
“Are you girlfriend and… boyfriend?” Asked Arson and I smiled at him, hearing him fully say that sentence.
I nodded, “Yes.”
Theon glanced at me, “We are? You’re finally saying yes?”
I kissed him, pinching his cheek at how adorable he looked. “Yes. And this is not a dream all right?”
He held my hand, kissed me on my forehead, and bumped our noses. “You changed not just Arson but me too,” Theon said. “Thank you for coming into my life.”
“I did not come to your life, excuse me, let me correct that. I kept on escaping from you but you are so persistent so I didn’t have any choice.”
That made him laugh out loud.
I was holding my handbag that Theon gifted to me and some paper dropped.
Arson picked it up for me and I read it. Oh right! This is an invitation from Sofia’s baby shower.
Was it tomorrow?
Theon saw my expression, “What is that?”
“Nothing important.”
He nodded, letting it slide. “Oh, by the way. Your sister Sofia is getting her baby shower tomorrow. I got an invitation.”
I bit my lip, trying to hide it but since he know it too, I sighed. “Yes. I got one too.”
“Are you… on bad terms with her?” He asked.
I nodded, “Yes. She’s not my sister anymore.”
That made him get up. “Then isn’t that enough reason for us to go? Let’s show her how well you are now.”
I pursed my lips. Is that a good idea?
“Alright then.”
“Great. I will buy a dress for you.”
We then started to eat dinner and I almost choked when he said another thing, “I paid for your mother’s treatment by the way.” He suddenly dropped.
I stood up. “You what?”
“Her health is deteriorating, I heard from the nurses there.”
I gasped. I knew that. But I still had a little money….I suddenly felt sad. “You didn’t have to. I can pay it on my own.”
It feels like I am ripping Theon’s money off’s.
“Oh…I apologize. I should have consulted with you before doing that.” He then held my hand, “Are you angry?”
“No….it’s just you did a lot of good things to me. And I do nothing in return…it feels like I am taking advantage of you. I do not want you to think that.”
He gently held my chin and made me look at him, “Having you here is enough with Arson.” He said, “You helped me more than you ever know.”
I nodded, kissing him. I saw Arson who was watching us for a while now.
Oh, I forgot he was still here. We should have minded what to do and be more careful.
“We always kiss in front of Arson. We should minimize that.”
Theon chuckled, “It’s alright. We’re like a true family now.”

Theon helped me to go to my sister’s baby shower. He gifted me a long black dress that fits me perfectly. The venue was a yacht as we attended the afterparty. I saw Sofia entertaining the guests on the stage.
“It’s good to see you here.” Said Sofia as she came to give me some headaches again.
“Why are you wearing black? We’re not going to a funeral, Saphira.” She commented, eyeing my outfit tonight.
I suddenly felt hands on my waist as Theon appeared.
“Oh…Mr. Venesian…thank you for coming here.” She said, her tone changing into an overly sickening sweet voice.
“Yes, I came here with my girlfriend,” Theon said, pulling me closer to him.
I saw Harry, my ex and now husband of Sofia, heard it as he walked to us.
Sofia chuckled, not believing what he said.
“G-girlfriend?”
“Wow, I am amazed how you seduce him.”
“I was the one who seduced her. Now if you’ll excuse us.”
Theon made me meet a few politicians and powerful figures, showing me off to them as everyone’s eyes were on me.
I could see Sofia hates how I just got everyone’s attention and somehow forgot it was her party, not mine.
I smirked, seeing her jealous stares. I said I wouldn’t stoop so low and do this but I have to seek revenge once in a while, shouldn’t I?
Unexpectedly, I saw the other twins there. Matheo and the man I had never seen in a while.
Rameo.
I ignored him and stayed close to Theon.
“I apologize, I didn’t know they would come.” Said Theon from beside me, comforting me as he felt me stiffen.
“Wow. I never expected you would snatch her away from me, Theon. You thief!” It was Matheo who was glaring at Theon.
Theon rolled his eyes, “I don’t have time for this, Matheo.”
“Well have time because, in papers, she’s still currently married to me.”
Theon nodded, “I know. But what’s the use of those papers when I have her heart?”
Matheo was instantly silenced by that. I watched them, not wanting to talk to them.
“Let’s leave,” I whispered to Theon.
“What are you whispering to him?” Asked Matheo, wanting to join in.
“We have to leave now.” Theon grabbed my hand, pulling me to the upper deck, and went to one of the rooms to rest.
It seemed to be in bad weather as it started to rain. Wow. Sofia didn't plan this well. She chose to have a yacht party when it is having a storm!
I was too sleepy and closed my eyes for a second on one of the beds.
Theon sat by the bed and stroked my hair.
“You’re tired, baby?”
I nodded, “you kept me up all night.” I rolled my eyes at him as he chuckled, liking it. “This is your fault, Theon.”
“I apologize. I’ll let you sleep next time.”
I lightly hit him by the arm as he teased me. “Wake me up when the party is over.”
“Yes, I’ll just drive us home. Rest up.”

Buzz.
I tried to look for my phone at the sound, but my sleepy eyes were met with sunlight and the sound of bees followed with the sound of beach waves.
Bees?
Why the hell is there bees in a yacht?
I stood up but coughed up water. My feet were stuck on the sand and I paused, taking everything in.
Why the hell is my feet on the sand?
Didn’t I sleep in one of the bedrooms on the yacht?
I looked ahead to see an endless water and I stood by something like an island.
Wait. Island?
My mind froze, wiring up and my throat was dry.
“Ahhh!” I yelled out loud, looking for any clue as to how I ended up there. I trembled at the sudden air breeze. But it was getting too hot that it hurt my skin.
No way, this is a dream!
I slapped my face but it was not!!!
I looked beside me to see that I had woken up someone sleeping by the sand.
He held alcohol as he mumbled, “Saphira…what should I do…”
I paused, seeing Matheo lying there.
Wait. No way.
Is this what I am imagining? I am stuck on an island with this idiot?
A million thoughts rang in my head as I forced Matheo to wake up.
“Wake up!”
I yelled and he sat upright, looked at me, and mumbled, “Saphira?”
He then threw up some water. “W-why ..where?” He then gasped in shock and yelled. “Ahhh!”
