While Sera was whining to leave her bed, Ethan on the other hand woke up quite early, his head was screaming in excitement as he thought about Sera.
"Such a beautiful morning..", Ethan mumbled groggily looking at the bright light outside, the sun was hiding behind clouds peeking out and spreading light.
It was interesting as well as shocking, how Ethan had managed to forget about Mia who was his childhood sweetheart.
She was also the person who had been plaguing his days and nights from past five years.
And for Ethan to move on so fast from Mia's memories after the arrival of Sera is indeed very astounding.
Meeting Sera, who Ethan has known for not more than a couple of months is like a miracle in his cursed love life.
Like a lovesick fool, Ethan was grinning widely as he got out of his bed. Ethan then waltz his way to the bathroom to freshen up.
Ethan emerged out of the bathroom with a towel hanging low on his waist exposing his wet and oh-so-delicious body looking like a greek God except for the wide foolish grin still plastered on his face.
"Hmm.. What should I wear today?", Ethan seriously contemplated as though he was about to sign a billion dollar deal.
Rummaging through his wardrobe Ethan decided on a casual outfit, all decked up he went to have breakfast with his family.
"Perfect!..", putting on his blue jean jacket he glided down the stairs.
Everyone at the dining table were shocked, Ethan Lee was at home at this hour and that too sporting a casual outfit instead of an overbearing suit.
"Is this a dream!!", the servants had a dumbfounded look on their faces.
Sophia Lee almost choked on her spit when Ethan's perfect image came into her view, settling her emotions she wiped her mouth with a towel and sat elegantly.
"Good morning, grandmother, dad, mom..", flashing his pearly whites Ethan greeted everyone present as he settled down.
Nathan Lee nodded his head as he gave Ethan a once-over, Qin Ying was no different she smiled mysteriously at her husband and nodded her head at Ethan's greeting before resuming her actions.
"Ethan darling, are you not feeling well? Are you down with fever..?", Sophia Lee tried to feel his forehead, she was a little freaked out at the possibility of her grandson getting sick.
"I'm fine grandmother..", Ethan replied as he casually sipped his tea, his eyes looking at the door longingly.
"Then..", Sophia couldn't understand her grandson for the first time in her life, she stared at him like he's a ghost.
"I just felt like staying at home.. today", Ethan dawdled stirring his porridge, thinking about Sera.
"Oh! That's.. that's great!", Sophia Lee was flustered for the first time in front of her children all credits to her grandson, Ethan Lee.
Nathan Lee and Qin Ying were unperturbed and didn't bother to join their conversation, after eating their breakfast the couple went on their own way.

Sera's head was filled with a thousand questions, the image of the room filled with ROSE's paintings at Lucifer's parent's house was making her go crazy.
"What's he hiding? Can I get answers from Ethan?..", thinking of different possibilities Sera was sitting in a daze looking at the lake.
As far as Sera can remember, she has been a number one devotee, admirer, follower, disciple, even their styles of painting are similar which further made Sera feel a connection, a bond with ROSE.
"I hope it's not like what Lucifer told me.. how can such an incredible artist be a bad person?", Sera questioned herself feeling conflicted by Lucifer's words.
Lucifer was talking about ROSE, the infamous artist who is renowned for creating masterpieces, her idol who has been a painting genius loved by all art enthusiasts ever since she knew how to paint.

Lucifer was in the middle of a meeting, at the infamous Chang Holdings, sitting inside the meeting room with his subordinates and executives.
Lucifer was sporting his signature all black look looking suave as always with Adrian sitting beside him wearing a cool blue suit jacket.
The collaboration between Golden Sun Corps and Chang Holdings was going to take place soon, it was a large scale project for either parties.
After this last minute meeting Lucifer and Adrian have to rush to the airport, their flight to K Country is a huge step in their plan.
"Meeting adjourned!", as soon as Lucifer's voice was heard everyone present scrambled out of the meeting room, closing the door behind them.
"Boss.. about the investigation, nothing could be found", Adrian said looking at Lucifer.
"The enemy this time is too powerful, more than Yang, I mean.. that man!", Adrian immediately shut his mouth, Yang Deming, the name was a taboo to Lucifer.
"Indeed, he is very capable.. erasing his tracks cleanly", Lucifer abruptly stopped speaking.
"Boss..", Adrian called out Lucifer's name who was in a daze.
"Let's go..", Lucifer strolled out with an air of mystique surrounding him.
All the male and female employees gawking at him. It was rare for the young master of Chang's, the great Lucifer to be spotted for more than a second, even at his own office.
"Boss.. two cars will be following us for security purposes", Adrian briefed Lucifer on the arrangements.
"Okay, just don't let your guard down. It's important to find that man...", Lucifer trailed off as he looked at Adrian with his gray eyes.
Lucifer sat at the backseat of his bulletproof black Porsche Cayenne, Adrian followed behind him settling beside him while his men drive.
The two black cars following them are bulletproof as well with Adrian's men in them.
They take the express highway connecting straight to the airport, to avoid hassles and traffic jams.
The first fifteen minutes were peaceful as the cars moved swiftly through the other cars and they were about thirty minutes away from airport.
As the cars inched closer to the airport increasing the speed a black sedan crashed into one of the cars
A loud bang!
Boom!
