Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

After a full day of classes, Zinnia felt the day had gone pretty smoothly. Maybe it was because it was the first day of school, and the teachers hadn’t assigned any homework or started formal lessons yet.

Humming a cheerful tune, Zinnia packed her bag, feeling lighthearted as she waited for Isaac to come pick her up.

Maisie walked over and asked, “Zinnia, how are you getting home?” Her eyes lit up as she saw Zinnia with her tiny backpack. She thought, ‘Zinnia looks just like a little doll.’

“Isaac is coming to get me,” Zinnia replied sweetly.

Just then, Isaac said, “Zinnia, all set? Time to head home.”

“All ready, Isaac,” Zinnia said. She walked out with Maisie.

“Isaac, you’re not giving me a chance to send Zinnia home, are you?” Maisie teased, pretending to pout. She had been hoping to spend a little more time with Zinnia.

“If you don’t mind, you’re welcome to join us,” Isaac replied with a smile. He took Zinnia’s backpack and carried it himself.

The Jenkins and Lynn families lived nearby, and their parents were well-acquainted, so it wasn’t unusual for Isaac and

Maisie to share rides.

“Alright, I’ll take you up on that,” Maisie said. She moved closer to Zinnia, taking the opportunity to stick by her side.

After dropping Maisie off at her home, Isaac and Zinnia went back to the Lynn residence.

“Zinnia, your backpack’s still so heavy. Don’t tell me you didn’t eat the snacks I packed for you,” Isaac teased. He had stuffed Zinnia’s bag with snacks earlier, thinking she might enjoy them during her free time.

“I did eat some, but Maisie and the others gave me even more. There wasn’t enough room on the desk, so I brought some home,” Zinnia replied, shaking her head.
