Chapter 9

 Won't it fade away?

 "Earls," "Anji," how could you?" the Quarter Kings exclaimed. Unbeknownst to everyone, Myde had been watching from afar, his suspicions piqued by the suspicious behavior of Earls and Anji earlier that day. He had followed them and even switched positions with Earls to throw off suspicion - his clever plan had paid off, and he couldn't help but smile at the unexpected turn of events.

 Earls pov

 I stood quietly at her desk, my heart racing from the exhilarating chaos I'd just orchestrated, yet frustration bubbled beneath the surface. Oh no, what do I do? How did this happen? I'm very sure I kept it in that lowlife bag. Who changed the whole thing and made the wrong movie play? I need to do something. "Tonio, you remember I told you I was going to prank you? Well, here it is!" I declared with a mischievous grin, reveling in the audience's gasps and laughter. "I decided to use an elaborate April Fool's prank that just unfolded perfectly with Anji's enthusiastic cooperation to turn the staid routine of their class into a lively spectacle against all odds," I said, praying he would believe. Luck on my side, "Anji quickly caught the flow, tossing in witty comments that had the quart kings and classmates in stitches, effectively building on the mock drama that went wrong not as they'd staged. "We're sorry, we mean no harm!" We chanted playfully.

 Looking closely, the rest of the class might noticed the irritated frown on Myde's face as the students erupted into applause for their clever deception. He was particularly miffed at how they had twisted the scenario so seamlessly that even Kim's mortification was thrown into the mix, smiling softly leaving her red-faced while he silently felt a surge of relief for saving her from the planned humiliation. Though Myde found their plan wasn't a prank but a way to humiliate Kim, he found the turn of events very irritating, still he couldn't deny a hint of satisfaction at frustrating their tormentor's intent, all while taking solace in the fact that they were unable to mess up with Kim and get rumors swirling around her—at least for now.

 The Eragon's mansion

 Getting home, Earls met her parents and returned from their long-awaited trip; the atmosphere shimmered with joy, making her forget her worries. The little girl danced around them, refusing to let them out of her sight, her laughter echoing through the house. "I missed you, Mom and Dad. I missed you more," said Earls cooly. A meal was prepared before she got back from school, and it was her favorite dish, which added more joy to her happiness as she grinned from ear to ear. "Did you miss us that much baby girl," her dad asked. Her Dad is her favorite person and they're closer than anyone else. He is always ready to do what makes her happy at any length, even though he is always busy and barely has time; when he does, his little girl will always come first. Amid their joyous reunion, Earl confided in her dad about a threatening figure named Kim at school after her mom excused herself to pick up an urgent call. Mrs. Eragon, her mother, inadvertently overheard. Concerned, she wanted to advise Earl to be brave and not to let jealousy cloud her heart. But her Dad said, "Really, I'll look into it; no one can take my little princess's place," "Honey, is that it," His wife asked as the father and daughter exchanged glances. Deep down, in Miley's heart, she is aware that her daughter's nervousness stemmed from their absence and realizing they had been away for far too long, as evidenced by the anxious competitiveness brewing within their once carefree daughter's demeanor. Determined to mend the bond and restore her confidence, she decided to plan a special family outing, hoping to reassure her that love and support would always conquer jealousy and fear, proving to Earl that her place in their lives was unshakeable, no matter the challenges she faced at school, she should not dislike and feel jealous about anyone and anything rather than working on herself,".

 The Alexgro home,

 Mrs. Alexgro noticed something was off with Tonio that weekend. Normally the life of the party, he had been snapping at every worker, casting a shadow over the cheerful atmosphere of their big home. Concerned, she approached him, her brow furrowed in worry. "Tonio, what's happened to your mood?" she asked softly, trying to coax him out of his shell. But despite her best efforts—cajoling, threats, and even pleading—Tonio remained tight-lipped. His heart was heavy, consumed by the chaos of recent events at school. How he almost lost his favorite toy gnawed at him; he couldn't shake the feeling that Earl was lying, possibly she wanted it for herself maybe he should get her one. Tonio is the kind of person who takes care of his things, especially his favorite; he can get sick if he loses any of them. But then there had been that moment when she had called him her favorite, a flicker of affirmation amidst the confusion. Was he ahead of anyone else in her eyes? The uncertainty swirled in his mind, feeding a storm that brewed beneath his typically sunny disposition. As he walked about the garden, glancing nervously at the green water across the flowers, Tonio could feel the weight of choices pressing down on him, making it hard to maintain the persona everyone knew and loved. All the while, Mrs. Alexgro watched on, wishing she could somehow penetrate the fortress he had built around his heart, hoping that he would eventually find a way to turn that frown upside down and reclaim the joy that seemed to have slipped through his fingers.

 The Dylester,

Back at home, life had settled into a comfortable rhythm for Pearls. She is friends with Hailey but not that close as their children became inseparable companions, filling their days with laughter and mischief. Damien will be going on a business trip the next day; as Pearls prepared for Damien's month-long business trip, he laid down his rules with a serious tone, the most important being that she could work from home but was to avoid any situations that might lead to unwanted attention. Pearls nodded with a smile, reassured by his faith in her while Kim expressed her emotional farewell later that night as they ate dinner. After tucking Kim in bed, the couple moved to their room chatting and smiling softly. As they entered the room, "Damien pulled Pearls closer, kissing her on the lips before moving to her earlobe, babe won't you give hubby a passionate moment," he whispered in her ear. "Damien," she moaned softly. Damien pulled Pearls close and kissed her again, this time more passionately. He could feel her body pressed against his, and he knew he had to have her.

He started to undress her, kissing her neck and shoulders as he went. Pearls moaned softly as he kissed her, running her hands through his hair. Damien made his way down to her breasts, taking one nipple in his mouth and teasing it with his tongue. Pearls arched her back, moaning louder.

Damien continued to kiss and touch Pearls, making his way down to her pussy. He spread her legs and started to lick and suck her clit, making her moan even louder. He could feel her getting closer to orgasm, and he knew he had to make her cum. He slipped a finger inside her pussy, and she came hard, moaning and writhing in pleasure.

Damien stood up and pulled off his pants, revealing his hard cock. looked at it and licked his lips, "I want that inside of you."

Damien smiled and positioned himself behind her, guiding his cock into her pussy. He started to fuck her slow and deep, making her moan in pleasure. He reached around and started to play with her clit, making her moan even louder.

Damien could feel himself getting close to orgasm, but he wanted to make sure Pearl came again. He pulled out and turned her around, lifting her and impaling her on his cock. Pearl wrapped her legs around him and he went faster, moaning in pleasure.

Damien could feel her pussy tightening around his cock, and he knew she was close to cumming again. He reached down and started to play with her clit, and she came hard, moaning and writhing in pleasure. Damien couldn't hold back any longer and came inside her, filling her pussy with his cum.

Damien pulled out and Pearl collapsed onto the bed, panting and sweating. Damien lay down next to her and they cuddled, both of them still trying to catch their breath.

Damien looked at Pearl and smiled, "I wasn't expecting that from you, so surprising you got naughtier that was amazing."

"Shall we go more round," he asked as he pulled her closer. "Baby," she tried to protest, but he wouldn't let her as he pulled her closer to himself, claiming her as his.

The night was filled with promise and warmth before they faced the bittersweet dawn. The next day was a flurry of emotions as they saw him off to the airport, a familiar ache blooming in their hearts. After he left, life settled into a strangely peaceful routine without Damien, the house echoing with the playful noise of the kids as Pearls discovered newfound independence in her work while also embracing the quiet moments, marking the month with cozy nights and laughter, all while eagerly counting the days until his return. What is next?
