Jennie

I sat down in the car. Lisa was seated right next to me, and our luggage was placed in the trunk.

It was not uncommon for the Manobans to be taking international trips on a whim, Nichkhun and Sorn sometimes flew to different countries just to shop for a pair of shoes. To them, it was like taking a trip to the mall.

Love stood on the lawn looking at us. The Dobermann was trying to hop into the car, barking incessantly, desperately pulling on the leash to get to Lisa.

Lisa opened the door of the car, while noticing the dog's obvious distress, and raised her hand towards the dog. The servant holding the dog's leash let go, and the dog came to Lisa, scratching its paw on her leg and licking her face.

Lisa laughed, "You're a good boy, Love. I'll be back before you know it."

Lucas came running towards us and started getting inside the car. "I want to go on this trip with Lisa and Jen."

"Lucas, they wouldn't have time for you. Come here."

"But I want to go to Paris with them!"

"Lucas! I told you to come here!"

Huffing, he climbed out of the car and walked towards Nichkhun. "Get me a box of macarons. All different colours."

"Okay, buddy. You be good here and we will get you lots of presents." Lisa promised.

Nichkhun got hold of Love's collar and pulled the dog back. "Down, boy."

Love wouldn't listen. He was still barking, trying to get out of the leash. "I said, down you stupid dog!"

The dog whined and sat down, looking at Nichkhun nervously.

Nichkhun came to my window and looked inside, "Jen... I hope this trip with Lisa gives you time to ponder on the things that have happened so far. I know that I've been cruel and disgusting to you at times, but I did what I had to do to make sure that this estate and the company remain in my hands. I'm utterly selfish, but I want you to see it from my standpoint and find it in your heart to forgive me."

"I don't understand what you're saying. But if you are really looking for forgiveness, then you would give me and Lisa what we want."

"And that is?" He asked.

"Set us free. Remove my anklet tracker and give me the freedom that I deserve as her wife. Let Lisa and me be in peace."

Nichkhun gave me a warm smile, "Consider it done. When you're back, we'll get the anklet tracker removed. It's a promise."

Did Nichkhun have a change of heart? Maybe he had decided that he didn't want to torment us anymore? Maybe he's had enough of it all, too. As if that wasn't enough, he leaned in and kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry for everything that I have done. Goodbye."

I only smiled back because he was definitely not getting any forgiveness from me.

We said our goodbyes. The car moved forward, taking us further and further away from the large colonial mansion. I had dreamed of this before, of driving away from the mansion one fine day in good spirits. I guess that this little honeymoon would be nice break for both Lisa and I.
