Tamara batted her lashes as she put the paper down and purposely leaned in closer to Adonis while doing it so her breast was hanging right in front of him. Her soft feminine floral scent lingered in the air and she was sure he could smell it as well. Whenever she was with him, she moved her body in ways that accentuate her curves even more. Due to the professional setting she was unable to show her cleavage as a competitive advantage so she needed to do it very subtly through other ways, from playing with her hair, to smiling flirtatiously at him, but she had not received the desire response throughout the entire week and this was one of her more advanced move.
She thought it would surely rouse something within him but when she saw that he was just looking down on the paper underneath him without paying any attention

"To make a difference in someone's life you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care."-Mandy Hale-***A few days after the ruined fashion show incident, Vian’s mother came over to visit her immediately when she heard that her daughter was hurt. She came over with some fruits and took a seat beside her to ask how she was doing. Vian who was still laying down in bed at the moment was a bit bothered by her mother’s presence in her room because she knew her mother was the type who would make a huge fuss out of every little thing and she had a tendency to nag as well.She had always been closer to her father growing up just because her father was a lot calmer, he was basically almost the perfect father but her mom, who was influenced by her commoner background had a more agitated way to approach things and she was not really a long term thinker, she was rather simple and only knew wha

"Actions prove who someone is, words just prove who they want to be."-Anonymous-***Adonis was sitting in his office, spinning a pen in between his fingers as his mind wandered off to several different directions. After almost a month being there he had managed to get a hang of his work so it was the furthest thing he was thinking about. Instead, his mind wandered off to Vian and that night incident. He just could not relax knowing that someone had harmed his wife. His heart would not let it slide, he knew he needed to do something. Before, he was powerless and there were only so much he could do, but he was no longer that good for nothing husband of hers.

You'll be embarassed to answer."-Marcus Aurelius-***Vian had only recently recovered from the accident which wounded her feet and she already had to move on and take care of the event organizing of her grandmother’s birthday and supervised everything to ensure they would be ready on time, it included visiting the hotel where the party would be held in the afternoon to check in with the event organizer staff and the chefs as well. Although she still had to use a crutch to help her walking since the feet still hurt sometimes but for the majority she was already able to walk on her own.

"Protect those who protect you."-Evangelos Venizelos-***It was almost midnight when Adonis returned back home from the marketing event which he had managed to keep a secret from Vian. The party in his opinion was a massive success. He had managed to grab the attention of some high caliber individuals and earned their respect through his speech and work ethic which he had managed to prove for the first month. Despite being a new comer in the industry who roused doubts within shareholders, investors and clients in the beginning, he was a fast learner and deemed capable enough to at least maintain the company’s reputation in their eyes.Besides, there was something about the way he behaved which they found rather refreshing. He still had the presence of a leader yet he was quite humble and down to earth. He was the kind who minded his own business and they liked it, because in the business world where snakes are lurking on

Since she was the only living eldest member of the family, they all respected her birthday as if it was a national holiday celebration or something equal. Everyone was always so busy during the day and Vian who was responsible for it was even more busy. Just like the last event she organized, she had to wake up much earlier to get herself ready, only this time she went there alone without Adonis because he said he was going to take care of a few things and they would just meet up at around three to head over to the hotel.Vian could not force him so she just went to the salon and got all the necessary treatment to make herself appear more beautiful as well as getting her hair done because it was much easier to get it done by pr

"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired."-F. Scott Fitzgerald-***Vian had just gone to the restroom that was located a bit far from the party room and walked out from the door when she suddenly saw Carson standing there with a smile on his face. She was shocked because she did not remember inviting him over but there he was standing tall and proud as if he had just done some good in his life. The man approached Vian who looked slightly terrified by his presence. There were not much people around because most people were in the main room enjoying the party. It was just the two of them there and she had a bad feeling about it.“Hello, Hummingbird. I have been waiting for you.” She tried to walk pass him without paying any attention but she should have known he would not let her slide off that easily. He grabbed her arm and forced her to stop and face him. He pulled her in and their faces wer

How dare he try to get Vian, he would never allow that to happen. Not as long as he was alive. He did not know how his seemingly quiet life became so complicated but he did not care. There was no point in looking back and he needed to move forward to achieve what he wanted. A better life for him and Vian.Vian was still asleep when he walked out from the room, this time not to make breakfast since it was still two in the morning and everyone was still asleep, it was a quiet night and the only sound he could hear was the sound of little critters from the outside. He walked out from their wing section of the house into the main house and to the rooftop where they
