AN: Ok, gonna make this note short. Thanks for those who are being patient with me, trying to understand that I commit mistakes in writing and it is nowhere near perfect. Thanks for understanding that I am also busy as hell, so updates may not be as frequent as it used to be, but I will try. So here goes chap 37.

I don't think I ever mentioned this previously, but some of the chapters contains explicit sex, so for those who does not want to read it, you can skip that part and move on to the other parts of the chapter.

For those who noticed, yes, I am making this story fast paced because I want to finish this as soon as possible without compromising the plots.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Ann felt a little bit overwhelmed by how welcoming the people in Whitebeard's company are. Though, she was welcomed before when she worked part time for Thatch's car, the welcome today is on a new level. The welcome is making her a little dizzy but at the same time happy.

Maybe because they knew she is Marco's girlfriend? She hates to get a special treatment just because one of the higher ups is in a relationship with her.

"Don't worry. They just liked you, yoi." Marco assured her.

"And the fact that you are the only girlfriend the whole family liked. I won't be surprised if some of our family members are starting to plan your wedding with Marco." Ann stared dumbfounded at Thatch who had the audacity to laugh as loud as he can.

"Thatch!" Marco scolded, frowning at Thatch for saying such a thing. Not that marriage did not cross his mind, in fact it came to his mind often than not, its just that this is something they will have to properly talk about. He does not want to scare Ann into thinking he is in a hurry. He does not want to pressure her after all.

"Wedding? I think I am more worried about the fact that you are going to be my brother-in-law." Thatch gaped at Ann for saying such things. "Babe, can I choose who I want to be my brother-in-law?" Marco knew she is messing with Thatch and why should Marco ever pass such opportunity to mess with his annoying brother?

"Hmm, sure. I think we can arrange that, yoi. With how annoying Thatch is, I don't want my wife to be burdened in being his sister-in-law." The two shared a smile, waiting for Thatch to throw a fit. And he did.

"How dare you two hurt my feelings like this?! I will be your favorite brother-in-law! I'll be your children's favorite uncle as well!"

"When we have our own children, I'll make sure they stay away from you. You are a bad influence." Ann stick her tongue at Thatch, not batting an eyelash in mentioning children with Marco.

Marco did not miss that kind of words. In fact, it made him swell in happiness with just the though that Ann is not opposed to having children.

"Alright, as much fun as it is to tease Thatch, I think it is time to work. Get your butts in the gear, yoi."

"Spoilsport." Thatch muttered before leading Ann to where her office is. The two continued to bicker, Ann teasing Thatch about his annoying personality.

Marco fondly smiled while watching the two walk away.

"Zoro~~~" The voice came out like a whine from a ten year old child. A vein is starting to form on Zoro's forehead upon hearing that whine for the last two hours.

"What?!" He became irritated at Luffia for whining like crazy, making Zoro dizzy. It is not enough that he is getting dizzy by staring at the paper works he has to finish for the monthly report. Like all companies, Luffia will get to the paper works once Zoro is finished signing them or reviewing them. It was hell.

"I am bored!" She made it sound like it is Zoro's responsibility to entertain her, which should not be what a boyfriend should be doing.

Huh, boyfriend, since when did Zoro labeled himself as such? He internally shrugged, momentarily forgetting a whiny Luffia. It is not like it matters what labels they have right now. They are who they are regardless of what they had before.

"Why don't you help me out here?"

"Fine!" She pouted like a child, picking up a folder that mostly contains some contracts.

"When you pout like that, you remind me of a friend I used to hang out with." He said, remembering the childhood friend he had before. The very same friend who gave him the bandana he usually wears.

Luffia tensed a little bit. "Which friend?"

"The boy who gave this to me." He said pointing to his bandana. "Now that I think about it, I never saw him after that time. He must have moved somewhere else."

Luffia was silent for a second, thinking how she open up about that. How she should tell him that it was her. She opened her mouth to say something and that is when Nami came to Zoro's office, possibly checking if he did not fall asleep while doing his job.

"I am glad you two are doing your jobs like you are supposed to! We won the bid against Doflamingo's company. Dressrosa company will be one of our partners from here on out!"

"Yosh! Serves that bastard right? He is trying to usurp Rebecca's company! He is a bad man!" Luffia said, resolute not to be defeated by Doflamingo.

"Yes, we gained an ally but we also gained a pretty powerful enemy. You know that right?"

"As long as they won't act against us directly, we shouldn't be too worried about them. We will strike when we know it is right." Zoro said.

"Please also be reminded that Big Mom's companies are also starting to target us." Nami wanted to bang her head to the nearby wall by the problems arising. The more their company grows to an alarming rate, the more they will be treated as a threat by the big fishes in the industry. It has always been like that in business. They strive to get more profit and influence over the other. One false moves, you will be giving off an advantage to the other to exploit and will spell your doom.

"That only means they start to see us a threat. As long as we keep Germa at bay or neutral, not siding with Big Mom, it should be fine." It was rare for Luffia to voice such specific comments, but when does, it was always bullseye.

A sigh escaped Nami's. There is really no point in arguing and giving these two neanderthal idiots pros and cons of what they are facing. These won't stop them in achieving what they want. "Whatever. Finish those papers and I know you two had been itching to get out of this office. So make sure they are all finish before leaving."

"Aye, aye, Sir!" Luffia gained new vigor in the idea of getting out of the confined office, exploring something more fun than papers on their desk. A gentle smile appeared to Zoro's face, shaking his head while fondly looking at Luffia. He, too, proceeds with finishing the papers.

Nami just can't help smile at the fondness and bond those two share. It is rare for people to be in love with someone and have this bond that works beyond being lovers. it is like soulmate, if that was true.

Luffia for her part renewed her vigor in finishing these files. As much as she hates it, she still enjoys spending time with Zoro.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Sab felt a little annoyed. Not because Kidd is true to his words today. Yes, he followed her everywhere, driving her to her appointments and whatnot. What annoyed her today are the eyes of women eyeing him like a piece of meat.

There! She is not a jealous type, and no, she refuses to even admit that to Kidd, but as a girlfriend, she has certain privileges, and in those privileges include glaring at women who thought Kidd is single and is game for a quick fuck!

"You have been annoyed and irritated for sometime now." Kidd smirked at her. He definitely is aware of why Sab is agitated today. He finds it endearing and cute. Very cute, in fact he loves to tease her.

"Shut the fuck up." She muttered, all her calm pretenses gone and there is a sassy and hot tempered Sab not everyone else knows about. Only a few people knew that behind a calm and cool psychologist, there is a hot tempered woman, cussing every chances she can find when pissed off.

It should be a turn off for Kidd that a woman like Sab can cuss like a sailor when pissed off, he had dealt with women who also curses like that when irritated, but for some reason, he likes this side of Sab. Whenever a woman curses at him, it was always because of jealousy or nagging at him for not being a good boyfriend. He hates those kind of conversation, but this one is on a different level.

"Who's being a baby now?" Sab glared at Kidd, thinking two can play this game.

"Ah, maybe I should go to that lunch meeting with Mr. Smith. I seem to think he wants to invite me to dinner." That pushed Kidd's button. He frowned, madly frowned at Sab and it was her turn to enjoy teasing a jealous Kidd.

"Who the fuck is Mr. Smith? And why does it sound like he is an old man?! I am not driving you to where that guys is!"

Sab chuckled at Kidd's reaction. When he saw that, he clicked his tongue in annoyance since he played right into his manipulative girlfriend's hands.

"You are a manipulative little shit, do you know that?" This time, Sab laughed out loud. Kidd crossed his arms in front of his chest, then decided to put his feet on the coffee table. They are in Sab's office right now because of some appointments she has to attend.

"Are you pouting my red-haired baby?" Another glare left Kidd and this only made Sab laugh so loud. "Alright, alright. I am gonna stop now." The glare did not stop. "What? You want something as an apology?" His silence is a yes, which just proves her point after all.

She leans in to give him a peck on his lips, but the kiss turned anything but a peck. It became a little intense, his mouth asking for entrance which she gladly granted. They would have continued that make out session had it not been for the notification that the meeting will start in 5 minutes.

"This is not over. I am still not satisfied with that." Kidd said kissing Sab again, but it was not as intense as the one before.

"Don't worry. There is more where that came from~."

Sure as hell, Kidd cannot wait for more.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Rouge stared for a little, silent and not moving while processing what she just heard.

"We're going back, you say?" she asked again, because clearly, she did not hear her husband saying they will go back to Grand Line. No, definitely not.

"Yes. I think we already enjoyed this vacation. There is something going in Grand Line that I need to find out."

Ok, so Roger just said that. Rouge sometimes wonders if his father radars and pinging his head right now because clearly, not one, not two but all his three daughters are in the arms of gorgeous men what they called boyfriends.

"It has been a while since we had our vacation, away from the chaotic city and all what is happening there. Don't you think we ought to enjoy it as much as we could before going back?" Rouge might be known as a beauty queen and supermodel back in her prime days, but she sure knows how to act like a professional actress. Otherwise, Roger will get suspicious why she does not want to go back to the city.

"I'm sorry honey if I am too hasty. It's just that, there is something really bad or maybe worst going on in the city that I have to find out as soon as possible. The sooner I find out what is going on, the sooner I can take action."

Rouge almost burst out laughing because she is indeed right. Roger's overly protective father instincts are kicking in. As a true and supporting mother, she should try to make sure Roger is prepared for whatever is going to welcome him back.

Namely the BIG news involving their three daughters.

"Don't tell me you are planning to stalk our daughters and hire investigators to find out if they are seeing any potential boyfriend?" Rouge mastered the art of 'Tell me the truth or there will be hell to pay' look against Roger. The said husband cannot win against Rouge when she is using it against him. He knows first hand how scary his wife is. Hell, even Rayleigh, Shanks and Garp is scared of her.

"N-No... N-not really... "

Rouge gave her another deadly looks that says 'Don't bullshit me or else...' look. Ok, Roger is a cornered animal right now, unable to escape this scary dragoness.

"Uhm... H-hahah. Well, uhm, it's just that I don't want our babies to be hurt by those unworthy men. See, they are too young to be hurt and cry over worthless men out there, so as a father, I have to protect them."

Rouge sighed. This is not a fond sigh, Roger knows this kind of sigh. The disappointed sigh and everyone hates disappointing Rouge. Not in this lifetime.

"You know they are old enough to know what is right and what is wrong. We raised them to be strong and willful. When they decide to love someone else, and date those people, we have no right to tell them to break off that relationship because that is the same as hurting our children."

Roger remained silent, contemplating what retort he can give, but there is nothing and he knows, he vaguely acknowledges the truth in his wife's words. The truth that he has been avoiding for years now because he can't find it in himself to let go and let those worthless men date his daughters.

"You can't baby them forever, Roger. They know how to take care of themselves. You have trust them."

"I do trust them! What I don't trust is - "

"If you indeed trust them, you will trust their decisions and their choices. We are their parents, not their tyrants and definitely not their jailers. If they made a mistake, then we will support them. We won't be making anything and when I say anything I mean you won't be making any moves whatsoever just so you can follow what you want."

Roger really is speechless (more like whipped). For the 23 years they have been married, one thing Roger learned is that Rouge is always right.

"You make it sound like they found a boyfriend or something." Roger pouted while munching on his bread. Rouge subtly coughed while drinking tea.

"You are thinking too much about it, that's what. Now, why don't we go and talk about that fishing boat you wanted to try." This made Roger light up and encourage Rouge to join her. Even though at the back of his mind, he knows he is clearly missing something, he just can't figure it out...

Or maybe he was just manipulated by his wife through diverting his attention to their vacation. As mentioned, typical whipped husband.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

"Roger is not in town, huh?" The man's voice is deep, like a villain in some super hero movies. He might as well be a villain with the kind of intention he has. This man is one of the most influential people in Grand Line. His name is Kaido. He is known as one of the Emperors of Grand Line, competing with Whitebeard and Roger.

"Hmp, he really dares to hide his daughters because they are his weakness." A woman's voice answered, arrogance and contempt in her voice is evident. Like Kaido, she is also an Emperor in her own right. She is Linlin or better known as Big Mom. Both of them are competitors of Roger, trying to usurp what Roger has. They wanted to sit on Roger's throne, the absolute king of Grand Line. While Whitebeard is the one closest to Roger's throne, he is not making any moves against Roger. In fact, he is sitting on his own throne as another Emperor, overlooking at how things goes and sometimes, intervenes when he knows someone is trying to tip the balance.

There is no balance for Kaido and Big Mom. Because they know, that even with their current powers, they still can't hold a candle against Roger. He is the biggest threat to the expansion of their businesses.

"We have to get rid of the daughters." Kaido spoke.

"Do you think getting rid of the daughters is as simple as it sounds? Should we say, get rid of them, do you think Roger and Whitebeard won't lift their hands and point them at us? What we need to get rid of is Roger himself!" Big Mom scolded Kaido who was not thinking straight. Even if they hold the daughters are hostages, they will be facing the wrath of a dragon. Roger might go as far as call out his forces, specially those hidden forces he amassed, and attack Kaido and Big Mom. After all, he is not an idiot when it comes to how businesses go.

"We will have to make a plan how to get rid of him."

"Yes. Then after that, we can start getting rid of his children. After all, we cannot afford to have the heiresses live after the patriarch is dead."

"Our other allies are starting to make their move. Soon, Roger will be no more."

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Following Sab all day long made Kidd realize how amazingly smart she is. She was able to handle so many things all at once, let it be the hospital where not only is she a doctor of Psychology, but she also serves as one of the Board Directors. There are also some non-profit organizations she is involved with, helping the community and tackling issues such as mental health. Often than not, people who visits her in her office glances at Kidd, maybe wondering what exactly is he doing in there.

Its not like he cares for what they think. Then Sab will answer them even before they can ask anything.

"That's my bodyguard and my driver for the day."

"I am not your bodyguard. Never thought that I will transition from being your boyfriend to being bodyguard and driver. I ought to ask some talent fee for my services today. And my service fess are not cheap."

Sab just rolled her eyes at him before giving her attention to a staff. When the staff member left, there was another visitor who came in. It was an old man wearing Doctor's coat. He must be a director or one of the higher ups in the hospital.

"Uncle Crocus. Nice to have you. I was about to go to your office." The old grumpy man nodded at Sab before glaring at Kidd. The red-haired man felt agitated at the intense glares he is giving. What is with this old man?

"Hmp! Never thought you will bring a man here, Sab." There is something in his tone that irritates Kidd, so he abandoned the magazine he is reading to look into the man's eyes.

"That's my boyfriend. He is a lazy bum for a day and decided to follow me like a lost puppy."

"Hey!"

"Is that so? Well, you be careful young man." That was all the old man said before giving Sab a mysterious look then giving her some files then he left. Kidd would have let it pass, the old man's words, he means, but judging at Sab's meaningful look, it was something quite serious.

"What was that all about?" He asked, startling Sab in the process.

"What he meant by that is you have to be careful when you meet my old man."

Kidd raised an eyebrow at her. It is not like meeting her parents did not cross his mind, but he guessed, it might take them at least two months into the relationship before they jump into a stage where he has to meet her parents.

"What, is he scary?"

Sab gulped, nervous and fidgeting.

"You do not want to meet him, trust me." That was the end of the conversation about his parents. Their day is coming to an end, Kidd complaining and being whiny about how boring her day is, while Sab continues to tease him for being such a baby. Often than not, their conversations when they are alone are pretty normal for Kidd. He never had such a relaxing conversation with anyone. He complains, Sab comments about it.

They tease each other like good buddies, then complain altogether when they talk about something they both agreed or disagreed on. At 5 PM, Kidd and Sab stopped to one of his bars, as he needs to give some instructions to his manager. He already sent an email to his other managers for some instructions. After that, they went back to Kidd's house for a promised dinner.

"Let me be honest with you, I am not the best cook there is." She said while donning the apron, deliberately trying to prevent the conversation from going over to what they talked earlier today. Sab wearing nothing but an apron on.

"Judging from your breakfast today, yes, I could guess you aren't."

"I am offended, you jerk! We never really venture into cooking because our mom cooks for us. If she is not around, we usually hang around Sanji's restaurant to get us by."

"What, like a typical rich kid?"

"Not really. Cooking is just not our forte." Sab said while cutting ingredients for her chicken curry. Kidd decided to help her out to make their dinner faster. The chicken curry came out as a decent meal, with the help of Kidd. They both know Kidd is better when it comes to cooking, which he never shuts up about, rubbing Sab's imperfect cooking. "Yes, you are the new god of cooking. Happy now?" It pisses her off whenever he wins their arguments.

Kidd looked away for a second. Her blush and pout is the cutest thing he had ever seen and for the record there, Kidd is not fond of anything cute. He thinks they are overrated and nonsense, but seeing Sab like this, it might be the next thing he is going to be addicted with.

"I already admit I am not good at cooking, so there is really nothing that prevents you from laughing your ass off." Even her arguments are too cute. Ugh, Kidd is beginning to act like a sap teenage boyfriend from some shoujo manga.

"You are so cute when you are pouting."

"Whatever. I am hungry."

They ate in comfortable silence before Kidd broke it with some normal conversation. He is not the type to lay out details of what he is going to do tomorrow, or what he is supposed to do with work, but with Sab, it just feels so comfortable to open up even the tiniest details. She is a good listener, asking Kidd if she has more clarifications then let him talk for the most part, then adding some comments if necessary. She never judged him like others.

After dinner, since Kidd did most of the cooking, she prompted to clean the dishes instead. Watching her clean dishes, needless to say, Kidd likes the idea of living with her. It just crossed his mind and he is not opposed to it. As soon as she is done with the last piece, Kidd's hands are fast, caging Sab on the counter before claiming her lips. It was half open due to the surprise actions of Kidd.

He had been waiting for this time. The kiss is hungry, tasting everything Sab can offer. He is hungry for her, asking for more and she is happy to oblige, opening her mouth to accommodate his hungry tongue, hungry for exploration and hungry for her taste. A moan escaped from both their throats, humming in satisfaction. Sab's hands is not on his soft red hair, pulling him close to her, if that is even possible. Not that he minds, but the height difference is proving to be difficult for them, their necks are quite aching already, so Kidd grabbed Sab's butt, lifting her off the ground.

She immediately wrapped her legs around his waste, grinding on that hard on he is sporting. He hummed in approval whilst sucking on her exposed neck. It will sure leave a mark once they are done.

"Kidd, bedroom." Sab managed to say in between kisses.

"Hmm, fine."

Hesitantly, Kidd let her go for a moment, in favor of dragging her to his bedroom. It faintly registers to Sab that they arrived in his bedroom because the moment the door was closed, Kidd was all over her again, kissing her with all his might.

Her hands were impatient to feel his skin, the warmth that she knows she wants. She almost ripped the shirt open, for goodness' sake!

"So eager for me, my baby~" A chuckle left Kidd when Sab managed to open all his shirt's buttons, yanking it off him.

"It's not like you are not either." She answered back, pointing to Kidd's hands, trying to free her from her clothes.

"Guilty as charged." Kidd is now topless with Sab almost topless as well, only with brassiere on. Once again, Kidd lifted her up against the wall, assaulting her neck and all exposed skin. Kissing her cleavage, licking all he can. This is when he decided that they need to be in bed, now. kissing her once again, he carried her to where his king sized bed is, not breaking any contact.

Tongues continue to battle for dominance while their hands continue to explore skins of each other. He grew annoyed with the underwear still on her, so without much thought, he took it off her, revealing mounds that he had been craving for since that party. Yes, she is his. His lips traveled lower, kissing her neck, leaving another set of marks in the process, kissing the skin around her nipple. His other hand is also teasing her, touching anywhere but the erect nipple of her left breast.

"Kidd..." She moaned, almost begging him to just do the deed. Who was he to deny his woman of such need? Without hesitation, he took her right pink nipple into his mouth, sucking and biting a little while the other hand is kneading her left breast.

Sab had never felt such sensation before. It was a little overwhelming. She knew that they have done something similar in the hotel during the party, but she was too drunk to even feel everything and engrave it to her mind. This time, she is sober and all sensation is there, sending shivers to her core, until she can feel a pool in her stomach, an arousal from Kidd's actions. She wanted to return the favor. With that thought in mind, she pulled Kidd for another breathtaking kiss, treating it as opportunity to reverse their position.

It surprised Kidd, finding Sab on top of her and ~

"Damn!" he cursed out loud when Sab rolled her hips, grinding directly to his hard on. He watched her hands take the belt off, tugging on his pants. "It is not fair for me to be naked while you are still in your skirt and underwear." That was the last straw for them. They deemed clothes are in their way of exploring each other, so got naked.

Sab blushed, as red as a tomato upon seeing Kidd's erect member. Goodness, is it going to fit inside her?

Kidd almost laughed out loud upon seeing her reaction.

"Don't worry. I will stretch you, enough to accommodate me." While saying this, he took Sab's hand, guiding it to touch his member. She gave it a few strokes, earning a hum of approval from Kidd. Their lips found one another, while their hands are exploring the most private part of their bodies. "You are so damn wet for me." He said, stroking her insides with his finger.

"And you are so damn hard for me." She replied back, ending the kiss. This made Kidd wonder about her action, but as soon as he saw her going down on him, he knows what she wants to do.

She is now face to face with his erect cock, not knowing what to do.

"It's okay. You do not have to do it." She heard him say, instead of getting discouraged, she steeled her resolve to do it. She will do it in the future anyway, so why wait? She gave it a lick on the head, earning a grunt of approval. She continued to stroke it, while continuously licking its head.

She tastes something salty in there, but paid not much attention. What she wanted to hear are his moans of approval, that she is enough to give him pleasure. She knows she does not have any experience in this, knows that her techniques are something to scoff at, but she wanted to pleasure him as much as she can.

Sensing her change in actions, Kidd urged her to stop, lifting her to as sitting position so they are eye to eye. She was confused, and nervous, as if she did something wrong. This made Kidd think of her actions and what possibly could be in her mind.

"Why did you want me to stop? Is it that bad?"

"You are forcing yourself."

"I am not forcing myself. I just want to pleasure you." Kidd knew her personality, someone eager to prove herself. It does not take a genius for anyone to know why she is doing it. She might be thinking that because Kidd had been with a lot of bed partners, he will be ridiculing her, or she will feel a bit inferior against those bed partners. Just the mere thought of Sab wanting to pleasure Kidd out of her own accord, because she wants to do it makes him happy. Most of his partners, if not all, would just want to pleasure him because they also asked to be pleasured in return.

"There are a lot of time for such things. I just want to devour you."

Kissing her feels so different. Is this what it means to really care for someone? It is scary to think that Kidd can feel this way towards someone. It is scary thinking that every small things it makes him happy and swell with pride. It makes him feel loved once again. Their kiss became soft, loving and caressing, as if washing all those negative things they have in their minds.

While Kissing, Kidd took care of preparing her properly.

"This will hurt a little." He said, adding another finger inside her. She whimpered a little, but as soon as she got used to it, she moaned, calling out Kidd's name like a plea, a prayer, like a music to his ears. Just the moans of hers are enough to send Kidd into an orgasm. Wouldn't that be a bit embarrassing though?

He added another finger in, feeling her wet enough for him.

"I want you inside me... Now." She demands then kisses him like it will be the last hour of their lives. He pulled out his fingers, reaching out to his bedside drawer, looking for his condoms. he rolled one out, aligning himself into her wet folds.

She whimpered when she felt the head of his cock going in, stretching her.

Feeling her insides almost made Kidd lose his mind. He just wanted to slam inside her, to thrust his throbbing cock to her wet folds but he forced himself not to do so. it will hurt her. He slowly but surely moved, making sure she will not be hurt that much.

Kissing helped her in diverting her attention as Kidd slowly pushed his cock deeper and deeper until he is fully inside her. Damn, it was the best thing he felt!

"M-move!"

"So demanding and greedy." He chuckled, but complied. Slowly rolling his hips, push and pull. Her cries of pleasure are definitely a music to Kidd's ears, encouraging him to proceed. This time, with rhythm.

He took her legs, putting it on his shoulders as he continued to plunge inside her. The angle reached deeper, more pleasures for both sides. Kidd knew that he won't last long. It has been more than a month since he had a good fuck, so his rhythm became erratic, thrusting into her sweet spot, sending Sab to absolute bliss before both of them reach their climax.

"T-That was... a-amazing." She laid there, naked in front of him, sweating and in pure bliss due to their climax. Even though Kidd just came, just the intoxicating sight of her sends another shivering sense to his cock that is still inside her. With one swift motion, he pulled out, earning a whimper from her sudden action. He tossed took the used condom, tied and tossed it to the floor, he will clean it later on, then grabbed another one from his drawer. "Y-You're putting another on?" Sab does not know if she should be surprised, happy or flabbergasted because, to be honest she is still sore from the first round, but the thought of him going inside her again is a major turn on.

"Oh, do you think 1 round will be enough? You are dead wrong. You won't be walking properly tomorrow, so better prepare calling in sick." It was a promise, a promise that sends another shiver of anticipation to Sab. Before she can process anything, she was on all fours, his cock aligned to her wet folds and with one thrust, she sees the next path to heaven.

Suffice to say, the room was filled with moans of pleasures all through the night. Four rounds of continuous sex before the two of them fell asleep, tired and satisfied. Kidd thought that because of this activity, he will be sleeping peacefully, but he is wrong...

There it was again, so much violence and so much crying. He vaguely registers how much his mother begs to the man in front of her, begs him not to include the child that was in the corner, shivering in nervousness and fear. She begs him to just direct the assault to her instead. True to her words, he did. His hand came with speed and force, slapping the delicate and beautiful face of the woman begging, crying... He cursed loud, at no one, or maybe at the child that was in the corner.

"Please don't hurt him..." This was what his mother begged.

"I will never acknowledge that child as mine! He is a disgrace!" The child knows what the man is talking about. He knew that this blond-haired man, the husband of his mother is not his real father. "You are a slut!" He walked away, slamming the door as hard as he can, walking out of their mansion. The child prayed that the man will not come back in this house ever, and prayed that he will not come back in their lives... How wrong the child was and how naive. He knew that this man will still come back, hurt them more and continue to dig into their minds that his mother is a slut, a worthless unfaithful woman, who bore the children of a different man.

Life continues, and the child prays that the brother who promised him to come back will save them from this man. Unfortunately he did not. The child waited for years for the brother he met once in a while. The child grew tired of waiting for his brother, tired of hoping he will save them from this man. All he can do is endure and pray someone will take this man away from them.

His prayers came true but along with that is the fact that it also took someone he loved so much. His mother. The accident happened all of the sudden, the man was drunk while driving. The child had been at the backseat, enduring the torture of being in close proximity to this man. Then, a van came out of nowhere, must be a drunk driver as well. It slammed into their expensive car, sending it spiraling out of control.

Blood was everywhere. The man is not moving, full of blood and the child could not be happier, but as soon as he saw that the woman sitting beside the dead man, he stopped breathing for a few seconds, drinking in what appears to be a dead woman as well, fighting to stay alive.

"Mom..." He called out to the woman, shaking her awake.

"Stay strong my child... I am sorry I am not strong... enough to protect you."

"No... No... Please... Don't leave me." He cried in pain. There was blood on his face, mixing in the tears that is flowing freely from his eyes.

The woman smiled, the most gentle smile she can muster in her condition.

"Find you brother and you two can be a family like I always wanted you to be."

She is cruel. She knows he hates that brother. She knows how he tried to wait for him, to hope he will save them, but nothing...

"I love you..."

"Mom... M-Mom... Mom!"

Kidd woke up, sweating furiously, tears flowing from his eyes. That had been a nightmare... a traumatic nightmare indeed because the dream is more than just a nightmare. It was a memory. And the child in that nightmare was none other than Kidd himself.

"Kidd..." It was Sab's voice, worried at him. Seeing her face made his nerves calm down and forget that nightmare. "You are having a bad dream... Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." He said, trying to sound as ok as he can, but it is futile. She is one of the best psychologists in town, she knows when he is lying and when something is wrong.

"Do you wanna talk about it? You've been calling your mom." Sab wants to ask for more. She was stirred awake from her slumber with Kidd shivering, calling for his mother. It had been a sight that she does not want to see at all.

"No. It's nothing." He stood up, naked as the day he was born with the intention of going to the bathroom and escape Sab's stares. He is weak in seeing those eyes. They make him want to tell her everything and he is not sure if he is really ready to explore that part.

"Kidd, wait - argh!" Sab followed him, standing up as well, not knowing the consequences. She did not know how sore she was not until the moment she stood up and lost her balance.

Seeing her on the floor made Kidd smile a little.

"Hoh~~ I banged you hard, didn't I?"

Sab reached for the nearest pillow and threw it to Kidd who was laughing so hard. She is aware that their sex last night was so wild and it involved a lot of muscles that she did not know would be sufferring afterwards.

"Come on. Let's take a shower. It's past 10 already so make sure you send a notification that you are not going to work today."

"Being bossy now, aren't we?" Sab asked in a sarcastic voice.

"Hmp! You cannot walk properly. What makes you think you can work properly in that state?" She pouted at him then smacked his arm.

"And whose fault do you think that is?"

"I was not the one asking for 'more' last night." Kidd smirked in triumph, making Sab blush, remembering last night. He just chuckled and lifted her off the floor, walking to his bathroom. For now, the questions for his nightmare was put on hold. Sab is curious, but for sure, there will be some chances in the future to know what it was about. Kidd is an enigma, a mystery and whatever caused Kidd's nightmare is something she wants to find out.

For the meantime, that was forgotten in favor of a repeat of last night's activity. This time, in the shower.

True to what Kidd said, Sab needs to call in sick for work today. Not because she is sick, but because she cannot properly walk, much to Kidd's entertainment. He was pretty smug about the whole idea of Sab limping.

Hot bath seemed to help her a little. She never expected to be this sore, but well, considering the amount of rounds they did, it should be expected. Ann called her around noon, asking for her whereabouts. The moment she heard Sab stayed overnight at Kidd's, the amount of teasing she received from Ann is enormous. A payback to the amount of teasing Sab gave her twin sister when she and Marco started dating.

"Did you know that the media is stalking us? We just stepped out for a lunch, and paparazzi was everywhere!"

"With how popular Marco is, don't you think this should be expected? I mean, you are dating one of the most eligible bachelors in town. People will be curious about you."

"As if you are not dating one yourself. The whole swimsuit fashion show fiasco Luffia pulled, plus that racing event also contributed to how paparazzi are annoyingly stalking us. Wait, don't tell me you are not being stalked?"

Sab was quiet for a while, trying to remember their day yesterday. They might have been stalked at one point, but she never bothered to really look into it.

"Maybe, not sure."

"I think Luffia is also being stalked by paparazzi. Izou gave me some updates earlier today." Ann said, amused how Luffia is not bothered by paparazzi at all. Was she that busy with Zoro that she failed to notice such matters?

"It's Luffia. She has the attention span of a squirrel." Sab deadpanned. "I'll see you later tonight."

"Yeah, see you."

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Rouge smiled to herself for preventing Roger from going back as early as now. Going back to the city will mean that he will find out about what their daughters are up to, that will surely become a disaster waiting to happen. For now, she will let their daughters enjoy a time of peace before war starts to break out.

Roger was in the bathroom, doing his rituals when Rouge opened the news about what is happening in the city while they are away. It looks like their daughters are getting the first hand experience of being stalked by paparazzi sending those reports with false accusations. This time, Rouge wonders if any of these accusations are false at all.

One report is about Ann and Marco. It basically says that Ann got the job in Whitebeard's company because her boyfriend is the Vice President. Which means she went under the table.

Netizens reacted how Ann has been using Marco's influence to cement reputation for herself, taking an opportunity to get a high ranking job in their company... the rest of the report is all bullshit. Rouge skipped that report and proceed to another one.

This is about the sisters in general.

The Real drama behind and the twins' devious intentions

Reports have been surfacing that Ann and Sab have, in fact, feeling envious of their younger sister, Luffia who is deemed to be worth over a Billion dollars at the mere age of 22, making her the youngest billionaire in Grand Line. Luffia's recent achievements and wealth is overshadowing the eldest and middle sister. While the twins also have their current achievements, it is still not enough to get into the same level as the youngest.

Luffia's worth is estimated to be worth over $5 Billion, with her company to be worth around $50 Billion. Suffice to say, her wealth is proof enough of her achievements. Meanwhile, Ann and Sab are estimated to be only around $10 million each, still a passable amount of money, but compared to their youngest sister, not so much. Speculations have been everywhere, with Ann vying after Marco Newgate's wealth to get even to Luffia's. Marco is estimated to be worth over $10 Billion with the company he is supposed to inherit from his father, guaranteed, he can retire as early as of now without worrying about money.

Kidd on the other hand has been earning incomes and wealth by Million dollar bets every game he has ever won, owning bars, establishments and many business ventures, which gives him a net worth of about $7 Billion...

Rouge stopped reading that report. She had seen these kinds of reports everywhere, people speculating and making assumptions when they are all wrong. All the numbers presented are not even accurate. The thing that pissed her off is how these reporters assumed that the twins are envious of Luffia. Rouge never raised them to feel envy against one another. They made sure that the three of them will be supportive of each other regardless of what the other achieves.

With a sour mood, she opened another report which is a contradiction of what the other false reports she has read. It states there is no real evidence that the sisters are feeling envious of each other, and also most people think that the twins are not after Marco and Kidd's money. They are earning enough money for their own and the assets counted were inaccurate. Rouge nodded at the report. It feels neutral at first glance, but if someone squints a little, they will see the reporter is favoring the sisters.

When she looked at the reporter's name, Rouge recognized that this reporter is one of Koala's subordinates. She must have known the sisters. Nodding in approval, Rouge looked into another report, basically about Ann on a date with Marco, talking about how much her clothes are worth by giving a breakdown at how expensive her clothes are. Typical media and paparazzi report.

The next one is about Luffia, who was apparently seen on a motorbike with Zoro which looks like a date. Again, the media hyped up the clothes they are wearing.

Last report Rouge had seen made her raised an eyebrow. It is about Kidd and Sab, leaving the hospital where she works. It was speculated in the report that Sab is pregnant. They zoomed in how she is clutching her stomach and she is wearing a lose shirt, hiding a growing bump.

Okay, now that is a report Rouge is interested in. She cannot help but think what will happen if Roger reads this? She shudders to think of the outcome.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Marco, suffice to say, is not amused at all. He can go as far as to say he is pissed off. He saw the reports, false and inaccurate reports those damn tabloids are circulating around. He hated those false reports saying Ann is after his money or that she is envious of what Luffia has, or any bullshit they are trying to pull just so they can sell their news.

"Calm down, will you? It is not like this is the first time you encountered such reports. You have been a target of different kinds of reports that you ought to get used to it." It was Kingdew's voice and the moment those words came out, he received one of the coldest glares Marco can ever give. It is like he woke up a sleeping beast.

"I am used to it, and what about Ann, yoi? This is too much!"

"We can provide ultimatum to these tabloids." Haruta suggested.

"And what? Create more stir? Because we are using our influence, they will think of other means to use that against Ann. Speaking of Ann, is she aware of the news?" Izou asked Marco. She has been rational when it comes to dealing with media, that is why Marco wanted her to hear these bullshit.

"I don't think so, but she might have heard of it, yoi."

"Alright. Why don't you try to contact her?" Marco just nodded, but still pissed at the whole ordeal.

"Wow, never thought Ann's sister is worth this much." It was Namur who is also reading the report from his phone. He must be curious as to what Marco is furious about.

"Technically, that report was proven to be incorrect by another reporter, giving more data. Marco, if you went bankrupt, you don't have to worry about money. Ann's loaded enough to let you both live." Thatch joked, earning a smack from Marco in return.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

Kidd is also furious about the reports. Killer gave him the reports, informing him of the negative reactions of media and rumors.

"Apparently, she is pregnant with your child." Killer is amused, seeing the picture of Sab clutching her stomach and wearing lose shirt, which was interpreted as being pregnant. How did they come to that conclusion, no one knows. God knows what those bastards are thinking.

"Pregnant my ass! That is impossible. What, we made a baby overnight?!" Kidd snorted, shaking his head in disbelief. Killer looked at Kidd as if he realized something so important. He was plainly staring, creeping the hell out of the red haired man. "What?"

"You got laid last night, didn't you?" Even if it is supposed to be a question, Killer made it sound like it is a statement. Kidd only smirked at his best friend then answered.

"What do you think?"

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

The sisters gathered that night, with Zoro in tow. He tagged along for dinner since Luffia invited, or more like dragged him to their house. That is when they all saw the reports about the sisters and their current relationship status.

There was silence in the room, concentrating on the news. Then, after the silence, the three sisters just laughed and Zoro snorted.

"I can't believe they would write something so stupid." Ann is not okay with the reports, especially the ones about her, envying Luffia and using Marco or wanted his wealth for herself. When they were growing up, they used to get angry when they see false reports about their parents. Most of them are about cheating. Either their father is cheating, or their mother, or worse, they say that Rouge married Roger for his money. It definitely made them angry, but dealing with those kinds of reports everyday, the sisters developed a much mature acceptance about how celebrity life works.

They got used to ignoring these reports and concentrate on what really matters. Besides, they know the truth, and those people they care about also knew the truth, so they learned how to ignore it for the most part. Their dad often laughs about the reports, and call them stupid. Even though he is also not okay with it, he just ensures that it won't affect the family relationships.

Ann received a call from Marco, asking her if she is alright. She appreciated the effort, and how caring Marco is, and assured him that he is okay with it. After that call, all of them continued to make fun of the reports, even Zoro is laughing as hard as he can. This just goes to show that they are not that bothered with what is being written. They just wish that this won't be escalated more than it already does.

===XXX===XXX===XXX===

AN: Can't think of anything to write after this. So, this is just a short one. Next will have more juicy details.
