Sweet Aphrodite’s POV
　　I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Most of the color that I could see are gold, brown, and dark red making the room regal looking and luxurious. I sat and covered my naked body with the thick comforter. Lennox isn’t here anymore.
　　I slowly stood and picked the old rose colored silky robe. It feels smooth on my body when I wore it. We are on his secret place, a mansion that is almost a castle. This is where he lives in this world. We can’t go back on the human real yet. They would track us down and we don’t want that to happen. We both want a peaceful and safe life.

　　I stepped down the grand staircase and I feel like a princess on those fairy tales. This place is beyond beautiful. The mansion on the human realm is already good but this is even better. Everything looks elegant and expensive. The rails of the staircase have intricate designs. I looked up and noticed the giant crystal chandelier. Everything is just grand that I am intimidated to touch anything.
　　“Lennox…” I called his name.
　　The mansion is really silent. A smile spread on my lips when I smelled something delicious. I followed it and it brought me to the huge kitchen. Lennox’s sexy back is the first thing I saw. When he glanced at me I realized that he is wearing an apron over his naked top.
　　His face lit up when he saw me. I smiled and made my steps bigger to reach him quickly. I stood beside him then I hugged him, watching him cook.
　　“Really?” The first word that escaped my lips. “Isn’t that too much, Lennox?” I asked then chuckled.
　　He is cooking a lot. There are sunny side up eggs, bacon, fried pork, toasts, rice, and hotdog. We are only two here!

　　He chuckled then crouched a bit to kiss me on my forehead. “I cooked these because I know that you will eat a lot. I made you really tired,” he uttered then let out a naughty smile. My cheeks heated and I buried my face on his underarm. He hugged me tightly. “We should eat some heavy meal for you to gain more energy because you know…”
　　I pinched him and he just laughed. Why does he need to make me remember how many times we did that? I fell asleep right after the nth round.
　　I pulled away from him to ready the plates that we are going to use. There is an island countertop in the kitchen so we don’t need to go to the huge dining area. I made us some coffee, too, while he is putting the food on the table.
　　“Wear something, babe,” I uttered after he removed his apron.

　　If he wouldn’t, I’ll be distracted by his dashing abdominal muscles throughout the breakfast!
　　He smirked arrogantly. “Why? Are you now confused what you want to eat first? My Sweet, I know you want to choose to eat me, but baby, you need to eat real food. Then later, I am yours,” he said then winked playfully to me.
　　I rolled my eyes and threw the table napkin to him that I picked. Damn this man!
　　“Psh, let’s eat!” I uttered to hide my embarrassment.
　　I sat and started putting food on my plate. He sat beside me.
　　“Okay. Let’s eat each other, I mean together, my Sweet.” He followed it with a chuckle.
　　He cut the meat for me even I can do it so I could directly eat it according to him. I can’t help but to stare at him in awe. I am already in love with him, madly, deeply, and hardly. But I am falling for him even more with these small things that he is doing for me.
　　“Lennox,” I called him.
　　He raised his head a bit to glance on me then he focused on readying my food again.
　　“Hmm?”
　　“I remember seeing a thin bunch of hair braided on the top of your nape but it’s already gone,” I stated.
　　He stopped again then he stared at me worriedly. “Why? Do you like that better?” he asked.
　　I smiled. “You are fine with it and even without it. I am just curious.”
　　He nodded then he put the cut meat on my plate. “I cut it when I decided to introduce myself as your boss. Like what I told you, I wanted a new beginning for us, so I removed it to erase that masked personality,” he explained.
　　I nodded then I looked at my food. I quickly glanced at him when he reached for my hand. He looks concerned and worried.
　　“Do we have a problem, baby?”
　　I want to laugh on the cuteness of his overthinking but I know that is not a good thing. I gave him an assuring smile then I kissed his knuckle.
　　“Nothing. I just remembered it when I saw your back earlier,” I said gently.
　　He sighed and he remained staring at me. “I told you this a lot of times last night but I want to repeat it again. I apologize for every bad thing that I did. I am making it up to you. And I need your help. Please tell me when I am doing something wrong. Tell me your boundaries and limitations.” He held both of my hands then kissed the back of it while staring at me intently. My heart warmed. “Baby, I want to love you right, this time. Let us communicate well and we can get through this.”
　　“Lennox…” I whispered. I feel like melting in the sincerity of his words. I feel like I don’t deserve it.
　　“I know I am the bad side but I am sure I can love you good.”
　　I raised my hand and I caressed his cheek lovingly. He sighed and closed his eyes, cherishing the feeling of my palm.
　　“Lennox, you are not pure evil. You may not be the kindest but you are good. I believe in you. This determination of you to love me right is far from evil. I’ll help you and I love you with every inch of me.”
　　The hope and innocence in his eyes showed up for a moment. I pulled him for a tight hug. The witches destroyed this man and he doesn’t deserve it. I will love him with all the best that I can. That is what he needs and deserves.
　　I ate a lot and he kept showing his naughty smile. I know what he’s thinking! After that, he instructed me to shower then he gave me a beautiful dress. It a red spaghetti strap dress that is not tight and it is fresh and flowy. I really love it!
　　I fixed my hair into a half-pony tail. The end naturally curled because my hair has been always like that. It is straight from the top but the ends are making big curls. I wore the strappy sandals that he gave me. I saw him appeared behind me through the mirror’s reflection.
　　“Gorgeous,” he whispered huskily.
　　He kissed me on my cheeks. I scanned him and I can’t help but to admire him even more. He is just wearing a v neck shirt with black jacket on top, then a denim jeans, and brown boots for his feet but he looks immaculate. I smiled widely and I watched him intertwined our fingers.
　　I know I am safe because I am with him and I am his.
　　“Let’s go,” he said.
　　Waiting in front of the mansion is a magnificent white horse. It looks enchanting and beautiful. Without any effort, he carried me in a swift move then he put me on the horse. I was scared and intimidated by it because it is really huge and I have never tried this. But in my amazement, the horse is calm and kind.
　　He sat behind me and his one arm secured me so I won’t fall while the other one would be maneuvering the horse. We probably look like someone from story book. Maybe he’s a knight and I am a princess running away from the castle. I giggled but it turned into a squeal when the horse suddenly ran. Lennox laughed wholeheartedly. My cheeks blushed and I immediately gripped on the handle. I am sitting sideways and his strong arm is in front of my stomach then his hand is on the handle.
　　The horse ran fast that the wind is kind of harsh on my face. I gathered my hair with my one hand to put it on my shoulder and hold it there so it won’t hit Lennox’s face. It took me a long time before I became comfortable then I started to notice the beautiful sceneries.
　　The surrounding is green. From the vast grassland to the huge green trees. We are going up in a mountain and the temperature is dropping. The clouds look reachable by my hands but I am afraid to let go the handle to touch it. I looked beside the mountain and I gasped in awe when I saw that we are already high. There is a community on the feet of the mountain but they are surrounded by huge trees. I just saw this scenes on the internet. I can’t believe it.
　　Lively and different colors of flower began to dot the grassland as we go up. There are butterflies that are thrice the size of what I usually saw on the human realm. They are peacefully flying around the beautiful flowers. It looks magical.
　　I would never forget these. It is just breathtaking.
　　The view stopped when the horse entered the woods. The trees are tall that I could only see the trunks and I need to fully look up to see their leaves. It made the forest a bit dark and mysterious but I still feel safe knowing that I am with Lennox.
　　“Where are we going?” I asked.
　　Every step of the horse makes sounds destroying the deafening silence inside the woods.
　　“We are already near, my Sweet. You’ll see,” he whispered, fanning his breath against my ear.
　　After few moments, he stopped the horse. He got down first before he helped me down. When I looked around while he is tying the rope of the horse around the trunk, my jaw dropped in awe. The place is peaceful and the only sound you’ll hear is the water from the magnificent falls. The deep blue water is pristine. Everything looks majestic.
　　“It’s beautiful…” I whispered.
　　He stood beside me then he put his hand on my waist.
　　“It is indeed beautiful. You remind me of this place. Peaceful, pure and breathtaking… perfect. No one knows this place except me so I marked this mine. Like you, you’re mine,” he said.
　　I glanced at him and smiled. He bent down a bit to kiss me on my forehead. After that, he led me to the gazebo built near the water. It is made of woods but it is really pretty. I learned that Lennox made it. He really treasures this place. I think he loves it here. The happiness in his face is evident.
　　There is no chair that is why we sat on the smoothed floor. It is clean so there is no problem. He parted his legs so I could sit in between. He made me lean on his chest while we are staring on the perfect view.
　　"Lennox..."
　　“Hmm?” he responded as he played with my fingers on my lap.
　　I heaved a sigh. “You have your first love and I am her reincarnation, right?” I whispered.
　　He stopped what he is doing then he caged me in between his arms.
　　“Yes. She looked exactly like you. Her face, smile, character… everything. She’s my first love. Her sweet smile caught my attention and I fell for her the very first time I saw her,” he started.
　　I felt a pinch in my heart and I must be crazy to feel that. I feel scared that he still loves her. I am scared that the reason why he loves me now is because he could see her on me. Even I am her reincarnation, I can still feel jealousy that might sound unreasonable.
　　“I accidentally went to the human world then I saw her. When everyone was disgusted to talk to the homeless kids, she hugged them while smiling sweetly. She gave them breads and water to drink. I got curious because she is different. That is how it started. Since that day, I kept going back in the human real secretly just to see her.”
　　“Every night at exactly six p.m, she would go in front of her large window where her mirror was placed. She would brush her long brown hair. Her blue eyes seem sparkling in delight even she’s alone. I became contented watching her from a far but as time passed, I felt that I want her to be mine. So after a long time, I planned of showing and introducing myself to her. When I went back to the human realm to talk to her for the first time, I was already late. She died. The innocent Sweet Aphrodite was killed painfully by Aster.”
　　Tears began to cloud my eyes. I feel sad and scared at the same time. What would happen if he learns the truth?
　　“You loved her so much,” I said, can’t hide the bitterness in my voice. I am starting to be emotional.
　　“Yes, I loved her so much. But you, I love you damn much. I know what you’re feeling, my Sweet. It’s crazy how you could feel jealous to someone who is also you, right? I felt it to Rage when you are together. I know that you are jealous but I want you to know this.” He hugged me tighter then he planted three soft kisses on my cheek. “I love you not because you are her reincarnation. I love you for being you. When I look at you, I am not seeing her. I am seeing you, the Sweet Aphrodite who lives in the modern world. I loved her and I am loving you. This love will go throughout the years… forever. I love you more than anything in this world.”
　　I failed to stop from crying. I faced him then I hugged him tightly. I buried my face on his neck.
　　“I love you. I love you so much that there are no words that could explain it, Lennox.”
　　He kissed me on my cheeks and jaw then he hugged me tightly. I feel like floating. Do I deserve this love?
　　“At last, we finally found you.”
　　I stiffened then glanced where the voice originated. My eyes widened when I saw the twin together with other witches.
