Tangled By Fate

'What if I don't do it with him for a few months and he seeks for other women? He let Aria touch his legs, thinking it was nothing. What if something like this happens next time as well?'

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Roxana drank a mouthful of water and then stole a glance at her. Seeing Veronica in deep thought she nudged her with her elbow and asked, "What happened? Are you worried about your friend?"

"I'm not just worried. I don't know what she will do. She doesn't want to have sex with her husband before she forgives him," Veronica lied while expressing her worries.

Roxana became curious. "Huh? Did something happen between her and her husband?"

Veronica scratched the back of her neck as she replied, "Something happened and she didn't want to share the story with me. I hope whatever happened was just a misunderstanding.

"Since she doesn't want to have sex with him, how can she not make her husband sexually frustrated?"

Roxana pondered about it. "Hmm… that's not a tough question but doing something intimate when her heart doesn't want…"

Veronica thoughtfully shook her head. "No, it's not that she doesn't want it. In fact, she yearns for him but she wants to take things slowly. Before marriage, she didn't have time to spend with him as a couple. She wants to fulfill it."

Roxana stared at her expression and suddenly commented, "It almost sounds like you are talking about yourself."

Veronica's heart jumped but she controlled herself and hid her feelings. She smiled and stated, "Haha. Arthur is romantic. He knows how to make me weak for him."

Roxana couldn't agree more. "Yes, I can see that. When I appeared the first day to start your lesson, I almost flipped seeing all the flowers in the tower. It has become a flower tower."

"He decorated the tower with all the flowers I like." Veronica tugged a loose strand behind her ear. Thinking about flowers warmed up her heart.

"That's sweet of him. Anyway, your friend, she needs to decide what to do. Even if she doesn't want to have sex, she has to make more intimate contacts," Roxana went back to the main topic.

Veronica rubbed her chin in confusion. "How to make those intimate contacts and not have sex? Won't it build up more frustration for her husband?"

"That's why without taking his dick inside her, she should give it a handjob or blowjob," Roxana recommended. "After he cum, he will be satisfied. Some couples use toys to make it more exciting."

"Toys?" Veronica became curious. "What kind of toys?"

Roxana explained, "Those are called sex toys. You won't practically have sex but it will give you almost the same kind of sensation."

"Interesting." Veronica had no idea what kind of toys there would be. She couldn't help but try to imagine. "How can I get my hands on it? I want to give it to my friend as a gift."

"I understand. I'll give you an address. You should go there and buy it yourself. The shop is in the capital city. So, you don't have to be worried about going too far without Arthur. It will be rather embarrassing if he finds out."

"I understand. Thank you, Roxana."

"Hey, when it comes to love life, ask me anything. I'm an expert."

"Most certainly," Veronica agreed.

Later, Veronica met up with Catherine. She asked her friend who was exhausted from working overtime, "Why did you come to work if you haven't recovered yet?"

"Ah… to distract my head. What should I do without working? I'll be bored." Catherine played with her spoon as she waited for her meal to be served.

"I went to check up on you last night. Did you go somewhere?" Veronica inquired.

Catherine's face flushed in a second recalling last night. She averted her gaze.

Last night, after Vincent left her alone, she calmed down. Her body was tired after the strong stimulation. Later, she slept with Vincent in the same bed.

'I never thought sleeping with the man I like would feel so wonderful. I wish I could sleep with him more,' she thought.

When she failed to meet her friend's eyes, Veronica understood something. She snickered. "Don't tell me you went to meet Vincent and something happened between the two of you."

Embarrassed, Catherine covered her face. "Ver, when did you become so smart?"

Veronica wouldn't let go that easily. She pointed out everything, "What do you mean how? I'm already married and professional in relationship advice, remember? Moreover, your face is literally glowing as if you are trying to show off how much you enjoyed his company last night."

"Ah!! Shh! Shh! What if someone hears it? Don't speak like that in front of people." Catherine quickly scanned the dining hall, checking if someone heard them.

When she realized that no one was bothered about them, she sighed in relief. Afterward, she glared at her friend. "Who said my face is glowing? Don't talk nonsense!"

Veronica shrugged. "Since you don't know, let me give you a lesson then. After a woman relieves her sexual desire, her face glows. It is the same for a man too."

"Huh?!" Catherine exclaimed. "Why did I not ever hear about it?"

"Because you don't talk to unknown people about sex," Veronica remarked.

Catherine nodded, understanding the theory. She frowned. "Why does it feel like our role has reversed?"

Veronica chuckled.

At that moment, their meals were served. Both were hungry. They focused on having their meal.

Catherine remembered something and stated, "Oh, I remember something. Vincent told me to take you, Darius and Sebastian to the resort. He will let you guys stay there for free."

"Huh? Why all of a sudden?" Veronica was puzzled. 'I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't like me at all. He does not need to invite me.'

"You all saved me from dying, that's why," Catherine replied.

"Did you tell him everything?"

"Not at all! I had to hide that I was kidnapped. I don't want people to find out. Especially him. I don't want him to doubt my purity. I just told him that I was chased and got injured but then my friends helped me."

'If it was Sebastian, he wouldn't care about your purity,' Veronica thought.

"I don't think Sebastian can come. He is on a mission after all," Catherine lamented. Should we take Ironin with us?"

"It'll be great." Veronica was elated. Then, she suggested, "Since we all are going, why don't we ask Arthur and Ovior to join us? They can pay their rent while we don't."

"That will do. We never had a picnic, did we? We can have lots of fun there. I wish Sebastian, Zinnia and Merlin were there," Catherine lamented. "Who knows when they will come back?"

"True. Well, I'm going to ask Arthur, Ovior, and Ironin if they are free next weekend."

"Sure."

-------------

"Free? That word doesn't belong in my dictionary." Ovior adjusted his glasses. "If you have time to have fun, help me with my work."

Veronica knew this would happen. She came prepared. "Fine, I'll help you with your work and will make sure all your papers are checked before the weekend. Deal?"

"Deal."

Ovior had no idea that Ironin would join to assist Veronica.

"Are you going as well?!" Ovior was astonished when he saw Ironin's enthusiasm about paperwork which he hated.

"Picnic sounds fun." That was Ironin's reply.

He hung out with his friends many times during missions. However, having leisure time and eating with friends when enjoying together without planning for the next mission was new to him. That's why he joined.

Both Veronica and Ironin had fundamental knowledge about Magic Tower's work.

After having two extra heads to help him out, Ovior finally cleared all the documents.

"You two," Ovior sternly looked at them, "assist me from now on. I'll pay you."

"I'll pass," Ironin bluntly replied.

Ovior: "…"

Veronica felt bad for the Second Head. "I can help you out. As long as the documents aren't complicated like the ones I checked today, I don't think there will be a problem."

Ovior mentioned, "Actually, half of the papers should be checked by you as the Mistress of the Magic Tower. You have your own office. Nonetheless, I can't give you the key to the office and all the documents because you have yet to learn more."

Veronica was astounded and then felt guilty. "I'm sorry. My incompetence made you suffer."

"Just focus on learning quickly. I don't want to die working."

"Yes!" Veronica blamed herself even more.

------------

"I never thought such a place existed!" Ovior exclaimed as he stared at the resort in awe.

"I told you, 'you will like it'." Veronica grinned.

The team of six came to the resort and got their keys for the rooms. Vincent gently welcomed them.

"Thank you all for coming here. Welcome to our humble resort. I'd like to thank you all for saving my girlfriend."

As polite as he was, Catherine blushed when he mentioned her as his 'girlfriend."
