2022-11-24: Hey, here is a preview of the story's next chapter. Please, bear in mind that it is, as mentioned, a preview. Some parts of it might not be included in the final release. I will try to finish this chapter as soon as possible. I would like to clean up some of the tasks in my schedule, and right now, there are many chapters queued there.
Info: Ok, let me start with what I promised in the last chapter of `My home is where my heart lies`. So, I often find myself not motivated enough to progress through the story, to write something refreshing and good. And thus, I feel like I will be splitting the story into 3 parts, aka the initial story will be split into 3 separate works. It will allow me to finish one part, re-read it, and think about changes that are necessary to take place. Furthermore, I feel like I have made a lot of mistakes throughout these nearly 3 years of writing this story. And... a lot of these come from a simple concept; I have started too many stories, and I have not been able to conclude virtually any of these. Moreover, my writing style and English proficiency drastically changed/evolved throughout this time. As you might know, I'm a perfectionist; I would love each and every one of my chapters to hold the same standard, to be simply the best. And... yet, with my knowledge of language broadening, it would require me to completely rewrite the story to maintain more or less the same level. And, as you might expect, it would take me ages to do so. So, as I have said, I will try to conclude the first part of this series as soon as possible. Nevertheless, I expect that I will need at least 3 - 5 chapters to do so.
Don't forget to comment. I really appreciate your feedback.
Note that the dialogues written in italic are thoughts.
As always, I would like to thank you for everything. See you soon :)
Changelog:
[2022-11-24]: A preview has been released.
Info: As promised, here is the preview for the next chapter. I will try to finish it asap, but as nearly always, I can promise you when the piece will be finished. Anyway, Enjoy :)
Info: Overall, the current plan is for me to write 'My home is where my heart lies' and 'Family tree' alternatively. Between the updates of these stories, I will try to upload other texts. Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to finish some of the short stories. However, I truly doubt that. It seems that most if not all of the stories will be extended both in terms of the time and the number of chapters.
Info: I will try to rewrite some of the older chapters between releasing new ones. I expect to start working on that goal in the middle of January. So, please be informed that the new chapters might take a bit longer to be finished and published.

Evelynn's POV (2 hours later):
Every time the beeping sound arose, the magenta-haired woman had a cold shiver running down her spine. Even though she was fully awake, Evelynn refused to leave the bed, crawling into a ball. It was a coward's move, and the diva knew that. However, the lawyer found herself too scared of receiving another call from Mister Winsome or his assistant, Seraphine Mell. Still, it was painfully apparent that she could not have spent her entire day like that.
Hence, after mustering enough courage, the siren rolled from the bed. It was somehow a refreshing sensation for the woman to stand on her feet. So, she smiled, stretching slightly, and then approached the mirror. But unfortunately, Eve found her own reflection far from appealing, at least in her perfectionist's eyes.
The smile was momentarily replaced with an awful scowl. Something must be done with the woman's appearance. Hence, she stormed her way to the bathroom and then forcefully opened the shower stall door. It was apparent to the lawyer that she used too much force, possibly even damaging the door, but at least for now, she did not care. She needed to calm down, and she needed to do so quickly.
Evelynn virtually tore apart her clothing whilst undressing. The silk-like nightgown was thrown away with little to no regard.
As Evelynn stepped into the shower, the water immediately started pouring down onto her. The siren wanted to find some comfort so hard that she completely forgot to slide the door close. So even though she heard the droplets splashing onto the marble-like floor, she did not act. The magenta-haired woman simply did not care.
After some time, the golden-eyed beauty began relaxing. It was a relatively easily achieved result. After all, the woman was not required to do much. Seemingly all the work was done by the warm liquid pearling on her skin. But, it was an illusion, to some extent. In fact, the most crucial part was played by the woman's mind. If not for Evelynn's ability to shut down all her current thoughts, no amount of stimulation would have affected her.
"It's so good," the magenta-haired woman said in a moan-like manner. Then, she exhaled extensively until she felt the emptiness in her lungs. "No more excuses; it's high time to start the day," she murmured once she refilled her air reserves.
Still, it took Eve around 2 or 3 minutes to finally conclude the pleasurable experience. However, as she stepped out of the stall, she finally noticed what she had wrought. For a brief moment, the woman considered picking up the shredded piece of clothing. But, ultimately, it was not worth the effort. Once she wore something nice, she might get back to that dull duty. But then, her golden eyes scanned the flooded tiles. To say that she was disgusted with her carelessness would be a laughable excuse.
Nevertheless, the lawyer did not find any will in herself to deal with these consequences. Hence, she simply left the bathroom. Unfortunately, the cool air in the room immediately affected her exposed skin. Momentarily, she got goosebumps, hissing in the process.
Nonetheless, Evelynn approached the wardrobe a moment later. And… as the siren started looking for some clothes to wear, her phone came to life. The loud beeping filled the air, requiring attention from the diva.
"Evelynn Smith, how can I help you?" the lawyer automatically said once she answered the call.
"Hello, my name is Seraphine Mell," a disembodied woman's voice said. "Please, consider this very call as a continuation of yesterday's discussion," she added confidently.
