Lucinda jolted awake just as the car was nearing Ascend Estate.

"Awake now, are you?" A soothing voice drifted down from above.

She lifted her head, looking into Stefan's handsome face.

A chuckle escaped from Lucinda. Seeing a guy this good-looking would naturally put anyone in a good mood.

Especially when she got to be held tight by this stud, his eyes full of warmth and affection.

Lucinda's laughter amused Stefan, who lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

Lucinda closed her eyes, savoring his kiss.

"Are we there yet?" She opened her eyes and asked him gently.

"Five more minutes" Stefan replied.

Lucinda looked out the window. It was dark outside. Streetlights lined both sides of the road, bright enough to drive without headlights.

"Not a lot of cars on this road," Lucinda commented casually, noticing there were no vehicles ahead or behind them.

Stefan explained with a gentle smile, "This road leads straight to Ascend Estate, our place. So, it's not often used, unless by folks heading to our home."

It all clicked for Lucinda.

This road was also funded by the Anderson family. It was wide and curvy, so the extra width made it safer.


"Can't see much of Ascend Estate due to the darkness," said Stefan. "Tomorrow morning, I'll take you around."

The driver, Noah, chimed in, "Mr. Coleman, Ascend Estate is so huge, it might take a whole day to tour. Mrs. Coleman should move in. She can explore whenever she's free."

Stefan laughed, "That's true."
