While in the shower, Erin stared at the wall, waiting for Nathan to summon her for breakfast. She is still thinking about the name Lucille is this woman? Why is this woman chasing her in her nightmares? She has nightmares about this woman, but her face is obscured.
She exhaled as she felt the warm water flow through her body; she washed her hands with lavender gel and used it as a body soap.
She opened the shower to cleanse her body, and she felt refreshed subsequently.
She exhaled as she reached for her white bathrobe and a tiny towel to dry her damp hair before exiting the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and sighed because, despite everything she was going through, she was still alive and well.
She took her comb from the small drawer and combed her thick and long black hair, which matched her porcelain skin. She then used her thumb to mix a scarlet lipstick onto her pinkish lips and She then dried her hair before being startled by the presence of Nathan in her room.
"What are you doing here?" she inquires, her expression befuddling.
Nathan opened her lips to say something, but his gaze was drawn away from her.
"Hello? Hmmm, what? What are you doing here in my room? I do not finish yet with my things…" Erin said, taking the lotion and rubbing it on her slender legs.
By starring at her, Nathan swallowed his own saliva.
"Nathan, please stop staring at me...I'm not comfortable the way you look at me, it is like you are looking my soul inside...," Erin admitted, placing her hands on her hips.
Nathan cocked his head and returned to normalcy when Erin jolted him awake from a fantasy about the woman next to him.
"Tell me, what were you thinking, you seem so absent," Erin said and Nathan steps forward to be near to her and she bit her lips, wishing Nathan would kiss her right now.
"Erin…" Nathan said in a slow and deep voice, and she smelled Nathan's fresh breath.
As they stood next to each other, their faces and bodies grew closer, she breathes hardly because she feels excited that she can't explain, and the same as Nathan's feelings.
Nathan raised his hands to touch her lovely face, and she let him do so as she felt his warm palm on her cheek then she close her eyes.
"I just wanted to ask your permission to kiss you…"
"Y-yes…" she stuttered.
Nathan kissed her forehead initially, and after that her chin, then the edge of her lip, and finally her soft lips, kissing her softly as if she were a fragile diamond.
She closes her eyes, feeling his passionate kiss, but Nathan tries to stop kissing her and begins to look at her, and she opens up her sight, mystified.
"It was a mistake...I shouldn't have kissed you." Nathan said as his breathing became panting.
"Don't call it a mistake..." Erin said in hushed tones, returning her gaze to him as she searched for the right words to persuade him.
"Don't apologize to me; instead, kiss me again, Nathan...please..."
Nathan's eyes twinkled with pleasure when he heard Erin have said that; his heart is pounding so loudly that he's certain Erin can hear it. He then kisses her a second time, this time more passionately, capable of extinguishing every fire they felt inside their bodies.
Nathan delicately started kissing her neck and down to her breast, and she sighed with great amusement as if the clouds were swaying her.
"You are driving me insane..." Before completely undressing her, Nathan whispered in her ear.
"Beautiful...as always, my princess..."
Erin gulped, but her body and mind want this as much as her heart, and she can't forsake what her heart wants, and on that morning, where the sun shines through the open curtains of their window, they make love over and over again, forgetting the problems and chaos of the world, and making their own world magical just for a moment like this.
Meanwhile, Lucille Henderson is boarding a plane to see her own daughter, whom she hasn't seen in a long time owing to the events of the past. She took out her wallet and examined the baby photo, which shows a baby picture of Erin.
She kissed the old photo, her eyes overflowing with the hope that her daughter would not loathe her and would accept her, but she knows it's impossible, so she'll pay the consequences when the time comes to meet her daughter face to face.
She let go of a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.
"Just hang in there, my Erin...I'm finally back in your life...we'll be together again, just like the last time..." she smiled as she remembered when Erin was a baby, smiling at her and loving her innocently.
But when her husband planned to kill her daughter Erin, who is the result of love and forbidden affair, she gave it to Mister Raylee, Erin's real father, so that there would be no trouble, even if it broke her deeply to be separated from her own daughter.
Her husband had lately died, so she mustered the strength to search for her daughter, who had been separated from her for so many years, and bring her back again in her arms, even if it meant ruining her own reputation, she will not care about her reputation anymore because she knows that she's running out of time. She is also getting older, and she will not be able to hold on to her life indefinitely.
