~ Missouri, the Heine family villa ~

Ron opened his eyes slowly and smiled when he met Zula's gaze directed at him.
"Happy birthday…" Zula wished while hugging him tightly.
"Thanks." Ron responded drowsily while enjoying the feeling of her body pressing onto his.
Zula's words reminded him why they are here (to celebrate his birthday), and that the day ahead will be busy.
This is their third day in this villa, and the preparations for tonight's party are in progress.
Haru, Nala, Nico, Beck, Julius, and Allen are here as well (in guest bedrooms), acting as party-planners. Ron is grateful that they are helping because today he will be the main person of the event which is much more than just a 21st birthday party. Other than friends and family, many business partners of Heinelurgy and White corp. will be present as well because today is the day when Ron will officially take over the company his father built.
