((( ZHIO )))

"Dr. Eriez and Atty. Wenziel wanted to see you at the lanai," she added as I descended the downstairs.  

The two old man were leisurely seated at the wooden couch by the poolside. Each of them sported a bottle of bourbon while few emptied cans of beer lay on the ground.  

"Oh hey," Eriez cheered as I approached.

"James' virgin son."

They were already drunk.

"Want to join us Zhhioo?"

I knitted my brows at the unpleasing sight.  

What happened to these guys? Getting drunk early in the day.

Nevertheless, I sat in front of them and took one filled glass.

It tasted bad, like tea.  

I pushed it aside and poured my own glass of liquor from the other bottle that Wenziel handed me. All I wanted was to get wasted…

"Also a drunkard eh?" Eriez sneered.

"When I die, I'll tell your father about all your shits Zhio."

I chugged my drink.

Whatever liquor it was, it was extremely potent. I felt my body went immediately feverish. But that was all I wanted to do all day…

(WENZIEL)

No matter how foolish the plan was, Zhio took the bait. Eriez and I were just acting drunk. Our play seemed lousy but he went along and emptied the drink I gave him.

Our delicious plan was just starting to simmer. As he got intoxicated, we gradually asked about Claire.

"Do you really want to have a family Zhio?"

"I do," he grunted weakly.

"What for am I working my ass out if I'd let everything I have to go to waste?"

"You have everything every girls wanted. Why do you have difficulty finding your mate?" Eriez smiled.

"Psshhh," he scoffed lazily.

"I want somebody like my mom…"

Somebody like Mitchelle.

"Why?"

"…I want to feel," he hiccupped, "my mother's love."

I nodded.

Understandable.

He was orphaned with his mother since birth.

"She's such a kind woman Zhio," I stared intently at him.

"Fun, contented, and optimistic lady. Do you think somebody like her still exists?"

"Tsk. She's crazy," another hiccup.

"Do you love her?"

Zhio gulped some more liquor.

"Why were you doing nothing to get her?" Eriez asked.

"She's…she's happier with somebody else," Zhio threw his glass.
