Chereads / Blood Lust-Midnight Bay / Chapter 26 - 27

Chapter 26 - 27

As soon as Liana and I woke up, we headed out to explore the city of Seoul. We were both so excited to go shopping. We started our day by visiting several boutiques and department stores, trying on different outfits, and admiring ourselves in the mirror. As we walked through the stores, we chatted about the different styles we liked and what we were looking for.

"Ooh, look at this dress!" I said, holding up a pink, flowy sundress. "What do you think, Liana?"

Liana looked over at me and shook her head. "I'm not really feeling that one, babe. How about this leather jacket?" She held up a black leather jacket with silver studs on the shoulders.

I wrinkled my nose. "It's a little too edgy for me, I'm trying to change my image up. But you should definitely get it if you like it!"

As we continued shopping, we found ourselves drawn to different styles and colors. I was immediately drawn to the pink, blue, and purple light-colored outfits, while Liana preferred darker, edgier styles. We also picked out matching gym clothes, including sports bras and leggings, to wear during our workouts.

"I love these leggings!" Liana said, holding up a pair of black leggings with mesh cutouts. "They'll be perfect for our morning runs."

I nodded in agreement. "Definitely. And look at these sports bras! They're so cute."

We spent the entire day shopping, trying on clothes, and laughing together. It was so much fun to see how different our styles were, and we loved helping each other pick out new outfits. We also picked out new shoes and boots to match our new outfits, as well as accessories like hats, sunglasses, and jewelry.

As we walked out of the last store, arms full of bags, we looked at each other and grinned. "We're going to be the most stylish couple around," I said, and Liana laughed.

"Definitely. I can't wait to show off our new looks!"

A week later, Liana and I were on our way back home to Midnight Bay. We had spent an amazing couple of weeks in Seoul, but we were both ready to get back to our own bed and our own routine. We packed up all of our bags and headed towards the airport.

As we walked through the airport, I couldn't help but feel a little sad that our trip was over. "I can't believe it's already time to go home," I said to Liana.

Liana put her arm around me. "I know, babe. But we'll be back again soon. And we have so many great memories from this trip, I still can't believe that we are married."

I smiled up at her. "You're right. I'm just going to miss this place."

We boarded our flight and settled into our seats, excited to be heading back home. After a long flight, we finally landed in Midnight Bay. We grabbed our bags and headed outside to find Liana's Lamborghini Urus waiting for us.

"Let's go home," Liana said, as we placed our bags in the trunk.

I nodded in agreement, and we climbed into the car. As we drove through the city, I couldn't help but feel grateful for everything we had. We had an amazing trip, we were coming home to our beautiful penthouse, and we had each other.

As we pulled into the parking garage and parked the car, I turned to Liana. "I'm so glad we're home," I said.

"Me too, babe," Liana replied, as we grabbed our bags and headed up to our penthouse.

Liana's POV

We walked into our penthouse and were greeted by the familiar sight of our home. I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief as I stepped inside. It was good to be back in our own space.

"I'm going to take a quick shower," Katerina said, as she headed towards the bathroom.

"Sure thing, babe," I replied, as I started to unpack our bags. I put everything away in its proper place, feeling a sense of satisfaction as I organized our space.

As I finished putting away the last of our things, I realized that I was starving. I decided to order takeout so that we could have a relaxing night in.

I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through the various food delivery apps. After a few minutes, I settled on a Thai restaurant that had great reviews. I placed the order and then settled onto the couch to wait for Katerina.

A few minutes later, Katerina emerged from the bathroom, looking refreshed and relaxed. "That shower was amazing, I really needed that," she said, as she walked over to me.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," I replied, as I pulled her onto the couch next to me.

We sat there for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company. Then, there was a knock on the door. Our food had arrived.

I jumped up to get the door, and soon we were sitting in bed, eating delicious Thai food and watching our favorite show on Netflix. It was the perfect end to an amazing trip.

The next morning, I was awoken by a kiss on my forehead. I opened my eyes to see Katerina standing over me, holding a steaming cup of coffee.

"Good morning, gorgeous," she said, with a smile. "I've made us breakfast. Will you join me in the dining room?"

I sat up, feeling a little groggy, but also excited to start the day. I took the coffee from Katerina and sipped it, feeling the warmth spread through my body.

We made our way to the dining room, where Katerina had prepared a beautiful spread of eggs, bacon, toast, and fresh fruit. We sat down and started eating, chatting about our plans for the day.

After breakfast, we decided to go for a jog around the city. We put on our sports bras and leggings and headed out, feeling the cool morning air on our skin.

As we jogged, we took in the sights and sounds of the city. We ran past street vendors selling fresh fruit, and groups of people doing morning yoga in the park. It was invigorating to be out in the fresh air, getting our blood pumping.

I suggested that we head to the gym to work on our lower body. Katerina agreed, and we headed out to the gym that was located on the ground floor of the building.

Once we arrived, we headed straight to the weight room, where we began our workout. I suggested that we start with squats and leg presses, as these were some of my favorite exercises for working on my lower body.

We loaded up the barbells and began our sets of squats, focusing on our form and making sure to go low enough to really engage our glutes and hamstrings. After a few sets, we moved on to the leg press machine, where we continued to work on our lower body strength.

It was hard work, but it felt good to be pushing ourselves and working towards our fitness goals. As we finished up our workout, we high-fived each other, feeling proud of what we had accomplished.

As we left the gym, we were both feeling a little sore, but also energized and ready to take on the day. We headed back up to the penthouse, where we planned to relax for a bit before heading out to explore the city some more.

After our workout, we headed back up to the penthouse to shower and get ready for the day ahead. We showered together, enjoying the hot water and the feeling of our sore muscles being massaged by the jets.

Once we were done, we dried off and got dressed. Katerina opted for a cute, colorful outfit, with a bright floral skirt and a matching top. I, on the other hand, went for something a little edgier, wearing leather leggings and a colorful shirt with a leather vest.

We both took a moment to admire each other's outfits, complimenting each other on our sense of style. Then, we grabbed our bags and headed out to explore the city some more.

As we walked through the streets, we took in the sights and sounds of the city, feeling the energy and excitement that comes with being in Midnight Bay.

As we were walking down the street, Katerina's phone beeped with a new message. She pulled it out of her pocket and smiled as she read the text from her friends Sophie and Emily.

"They're inviting us to come karaoke with them at a local bar downtown," Katerina said excitedly, showing me the message.

I grinned back at her. "That sounds like so much fun! What do you say, should we go teach your disciples how to sing?"

Katerina nodded eagerly. "Absolutely! I love karaoke, and it'll be great to catch up with Sophie and Emily again."

We quickly made our way to the bar, eager to join in the fun. When we arrived, we found Sophie and Emily waiting for us, both looking happy and excited.

"Hey, guys!" Sophie exclaimed, giving us both a hug. "We're so glad you could make it!"

Emily echoed the sentiment, giving us both a warm smile. "We've already picked out a few songs to sing, but we'd love it if you guys joined in too."

We spent the next few hours singing and dancing, enjoying each other's company and letting loose. It was a great way to unwind after a long day of working out and exploring the city, and we all had a blast.

As we continued to sing and dance, Emily and Sophie started to tell us about their string of murders that had been happening throughout the city. Apparently, they had continued with Katerina's plan to create a false serial killer in the area, and people were starting to feel uneasy.

Katerina and I listened intently, feeling a little jealous about what they were saying. We had been so caught up in our own adventure that we hadn't really been paying attention to all the fun Sophie and Emily were having creating works of art with mutilated body parts.

"Do you guys think we should be worried?" Katerina asked, looking around the bar nervously.

Sophie shook her head. "I don't think so. As long as we stay aware of our surroundings and continue to cover our tracks, we should be fine."

Emily added her own thoughts. "Plus, the police have increased their presence in the area, so perhaps we will stop for now."

We all felt a little better after hearing that, and we continued to sing and dance, enjoying the rest of our evening. But in the back of our minds, we knew that we needed to be careful. As we left the bar and made our way back to the penthouse.
