“So, shouldn’t you be preparing for the ball? I could help you with whatever help you need,”
“Oh, maybe I would, but for now I just want to take a stroll around the mansion,” I told Arthur with a smile.
“Oh, that’s nice. Let me give you a tour then, he jumped excitedly and I couldn’t help but chuckle at his childlike glee.
“That’ll be great,” I nodded, and we began walking across passages, and came across King Eros. The office door was slightly ajar, and he seemed busy talking to someone.
Then Arthur slowed his movement; he said he had something to tell King Eros, and that we should wait till he was done with. his guest.
I sighed, and accepted as we waited aside. The blinds which were partly drawn was tempting and I couldn’t help but take a peek inside.
King Eros was seated on a chair and was looking intently at someone.
I tried craning my neck further to see who it was, and then my eyes fell on a beautiful girl who was seated opposite him.
She had one hand resting on the armrest while another on his knee. She was wearing a short dress, and her long, slender legs were almost touching Eros‘ legs as well under the table.
Her hair fell in elegant waves upon her shoulder as she laughed at something. Something about her felt familiar.
The two appeared to be talking to each other politely, and I even saw Eros smile at her once or twice.
Suddenly, I became self–aware of the dress I was wearing. I should have chosen something more appealing instead of dressing so plainly.
1 shook my head, and Arthur gently tapped on my shoulder. “Hey, are you alright?”
“Huh” I blinked and then added, “Yeah, I… I am fine”
“Are you sure? You look a little pale. Arthur observed, and I gave him a small smile.
“I’m just tired, that’s all.”
He immediately came to stand beside me and spoke in a soft voice, “Hey, Eden… can I call you Blondie?”
He said, and my eyes widened. Blondie. That’s the same name Arthur from my previous life teases me with.
He calls me Blondie, while I call him Blackie.
1 suddenly felt emotional “yes, sure.” My voice was croaky.
1 gulped and could not help but cast a glance in the direction of his office. The girl was now Teaning forward and had placed a hand on Eros‘ hand and was murmuring something softly.
It was hard to see her face as her hair fell forward, blocking my view of his face, but from this angle, they seemed close, too
close.
Arthur called out to me, but I could not stand there anymore, net with Eros kissing that girl and doing God knows what else.
I tried to swallow the tears that were threatening to leak and dabbed my eyes quickly.
Arthur came running towards me and stopped me.

“Eden, what is the matter? Did I do something?”
I shook my head. I shouldn’t be feeling this way, at least not yet. I do not have a hold over King Eros, and what if truly we aren’t mates in this life and I find out that I have a different mate somewhere, different from Eros… I was confused and sad.
“No–not at all. I was beginning to feel really tired,” I mumbled, and then I heard the door of the office open.
The lock clicked softly and Eros stepped out, dressed in the same black outfit I had seen him in a while ago..
He looked at Arthur and me, and his gaze fell on our joined hands. His eyes furrowed as he asked.
“Yes, it’s my nickname for her. Eden. Arthur answered with a little smile.
“Eros. A feminine voice greeted. I looked up to see the same girl who was inside Eros‘ office step out to see what was going
It was Olivia. She had the same features as my baby sister, and I was frozen to the spot.
I turned to him in surprise “She’s Eve?” I asked him and he nodded. I stared back at her in shock.
Everybody from my previous life had the same bore before, but my baby sister was born a different name. She was Eve! And she feels so different, cold and b’tchy.
1 gulped, and could only stare at her. Eve only scoffed and scooted near zeros unashamedly. “Yeah, I am Eve and also Olivia Olivia is my middle name. Call me any” she said dismissively, making her hand brush him “So, you have a date for the mate ball tonight?”
“Not really, Eve.” he said “But I didn’t know that Olivia is your middle name,”
Eve or Olivia was bold. She took his hand in hers, giving it a gentle squeeze.
