"Happy trails to you, until we meet again."

With a heavy heart, Eden watched Karina entered the car with their baby. He did not even get to kiss her goodbye. Only a hug that would not suffice for three years. Truly, it was a horrible experience. He actually cried as he watched her drove away.
It would be painful, to be unable to touch her for that long, but he knew everything would be fine. His love for her was strong and he was sure with time, she could learn to love him again.
Besides, Karina was going to a house he had prepared for her, meaning, he could see her through the hidden cameras he had placed all over the house.
He would still be able to see her, just not in person. It would at least be enough to cover his longing for her and reminded himself that even though she was away, Karina was still his.
On her way there, Karina felt a million emotions. The memory of Eden’s warmth fr
"The universe brought us back together this time, I'm never letting go."-Unknown-***It was known throughout history that when a man loved a woman, he would do anything for her. Eden Black was no different. Three years has passed since the last time Eden saw Karina in person.Thanks to technology, he was able to see her everyday through the monitor but it was not enough. How he had long to see her in person.That morning before the sun even rose, he had sent over a car to pick her up, because he wanted her arrival to be special. If he picked her up himself, he would just ruin the surprise.Karina on the other side was feeling the same. She had not seen Eden in years and her heart was beating rapidly.How strange it was to finally see her husband again after all these time. She had her three years old son Zion sitting beside her on the car.Throughout the three years, he often saw Eden and stayed in h
"I think of how life takes unexpected twist and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a matter of faith."-Emily Griffin-***“Do you think she has woken up?” One of the guy asked his friend.“No, I don’t think so, we did inject quite a lot of tranquilizer earlier. She should still be asleep until we’ve arrived.” The other guy replied.Karina who had been falling unconscious slowly opened her eyes, only to realized someone had covered them with a piece of fabric and shut her mouth with a piece of tape.She began to panic and tried to move her hand but realized they were tied to. So were her legs. She was as good as a farm animal about to be brought to a slaughterhouse in that state.“What’s happening to me!?” She wondered to herself. She tried to rec
"Life is a series of unexplained events, unplanned laughter, unexpected tears, occasional sorrows and overwhelming joy."-Susan Gale-***Karina was at loss for words, she was sitting in a stranger’s bed with the revelation that she had just been sold and bought by him.For a second earlier, she really thought there was still a bit of kindness left in this man. Karina thought if she asked him nicely, then maybe he would let her go. She was too naïve for her own good. Then, the least she needed was to know how this man could claim that.“I’m a free woman, you can’t buy me, this is a lie!” She raised her voice.“Lie? I am not a good man but I am not a liar. If you don’t believe me, you can see it with your own eyes.” He grabbed her hand and dragged her outside of the room, walking passed through a hallway until they arrived at a large hall.After arriving the
"You get what you put in and people get what they deserve."-Kid Rock-***Eden walked into the lounge and poured himself a glass of whiskey. It felt strange to see her so close like that. From her picture, she was beautiful but she was even more beautiful in person and even better when up-close. He never thought he would marry a brunette.His entire life, he was always into blonde women with blue or light eyes and tall, skinny figure. Karina was not exactly his ideal type, physically, she was short, around 5’4”, not curvy but not skinny either, with dark green eyes and reddish brown hair.Someone he wouldn’t normally find attractive but for some reason, he couldn’t help but find her incredibly attractive and adorable. She was not sexy or super model hot, but she was delicate and innocent, like flower petals. He liked it.As he was drinking, he heard a knock from the door, it was one of his m
"It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way."-William P. Young-***“Good morning, boss.” A series of his employees greeted him. Eden walked into the room and gave them all a polite nod of acknowledgement before he entered his private office. Eden Black was the current head of the company.He inherited it from his father who started everything from scratch. It started as a small local tech business but over the years, it had grown and transformed significantly and at the time, it had over a hundred working employees, excluding the freelancers and interns in two different branches.Their products were exported to fifteen countries at the moment. The company was the primary source of his lavish lifestyle, but he also had other investments and source of income. At that point in his life, he no longer worked for money, but his money worked for him.Wha
"We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think and feel."-Marshall B. Rosenberg-***“So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?” Karina did not feel like beating around the bush anymore. She was already depressed enough being kidnapped and taken away from the life she knew, she couldn’t bear anymore surprise.“What’s the rush, we have at least thirty minutes before the dinner is over. Why don’t you enjoy your meal first and we will discuss the matter after dessert.” He suggested.“No, let’s talk now. Are you going to release me?” Eden almost couldn’t believe she was still at that. He guessed everything he had done for her so far did not mean much to her. Even though she was no longer as bitter and angry as she did the previous day, she was still as cold to him as the first time they met.“I told you,
"Because brothers don't let each other wander in the dark alone."-Jolene Perry-***“Congratulations, your discovery really helped the tech industry to improve. Your speech at the tech gala last night was also quite profound. I am sure this project would be a massive success in the future.” The old man who played golf with him just thirty minutes ago and also happened to be one of his company’s shareholder congratulated the younger man.“Please, don’t mention it. I’m doing it for the betterment of humanity, it’s what I live for.” He replied back. Soon after, he arrived at the front of his car.“I have to leave now, but I appreciate your kind words.” He excused himself and got in the car. He headed back to his modern penthouse and as soon as he stepped in, he went to check his mailbox to see if there were any packages for him.Among all the stuff in his mai
"An adult should not be forced into marriage as a child is forced to eat his peas. Peas are only part of a meal. Marriage is a life's work."-Loretta Chase-***Karina has been looking at herself in the mirror for nearly two hours as the makeup artist and hairstylist worked their magic on her and she knew as soon as they were done with their job, it was time for her to put on her dress, which required two people’s help since it was so large and had many intricate designs and embroidery on them.Once she was done, she stared at herself in a full-length mirror and was speechless by how different she looked from her normal, casual self. She did not even know that side of her existed and was possible to channel out.“You look so beautiful, Miss. I think your husband is the luckiest man in the world.” One of the stylist complimented. She could only give her a small smile. Clearly, nobody in the room knew the r
