"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired."

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

"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them."-Albert Einstein-***Adonis still could not rest well after that night at her grandmother’s birthday party because he believed that Carson would not stop until he received what he wanted and the thought made him upset. 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

Adonis was an even tempered man on most occasion but when it came down to the people he loved, sometimes he would lose himself a bit.He drove the car to the prison and walked out while being accompanied by his private investigator who would help him out during their talk so he would not end up doing or saying anything stupid, after all it was Adonis’ first time dealing with such situation.

It was weekend, the sun was shining brilliantly outside, the birds were singing, it almost looked a little too perfect as a start. Vian was still asleep when Adonis opened his eyes. He decided to devote the entire day just for the two of them and think of absolutely nothing else but their joy and happiness together. He woke up much earlier and quickly went out to make breakfast.That day he decided to make some pancakes for the two of them and purposely shaped them in cute heart shape, then he chopped off some bananas and strawberries as the toppings along with a few de frozen blueberries and finished everything off with a bit of butter and honey on top.

"Quarrels are a natural part of a relationships. Making up is always the best part."-Maureen Johnson-***They were near the end of their date when Adonis invited her out to a fine dining restaurant which was unusual. Vian grew up with all the money so she was used with dining at those high end restaurants but when she recalled, it was the first time he had ever invited her out to one. The only fine dining she had ever done with him before were ones done at family dinner party. Never before it was just the two of them which made Vian a bit confused because it was only two months since he started working and suddenly he brought her there. At first she was a bit worried of his spending habits because she was not sure he understood the principle of wealth building considering he was never exposed to it before.Yet he was so sure that everything was fine, she learnt enough things about men to not mention it to him. As far as she kne

That day she was watching the birds who flocked in their backyard and Greta suddenly felt thirsty so asked her assistant to bring her a cup of warm water or tea. The assistant nodded and left her alone to do the task.In the meantime, she was thinking about how close she was to escape death last time. It was such an unexpected incident, she knew someone was trying to harm her, perhaps accelerating her death so they would be able to inherit something from her. Then she came to a terrifying realization. Whoever tried to harm her must be one of her own descendants o

"To be suspicious is not a fault, to be suspicious all the time without coming to a conclusion is the defect."-Lu Xun-***Vian had just returned from work that evening, she was tired and there was nothing she wanted more than a comforting cup of tea and a long warm bath. She entered the house and took a deep breath, the scent of her perfume still lingered in the air, somehow managed to calm her down a little. She prepared herself to go to her room when she suddenly heard a woman’s voice calling her name.She turned around and saw a blonde woman standing there. Vian stopped in her track as the woman approached her. She had recognized the woman as her grandmother’s assistant, although the two of them had never had any proper interaction with each other she knew her before and wondered why she had bothered her that night which was highly unusual.“What is it?” Vian asked with a tired voice.

"And sometimes you need your knight in shining armour."-Kirsten Dunst-***Vian woke up that morning and started getting ready for the day. It was Saturday and she planned on going to the address her grandmother had assigned her to go.

Their relationship had gotten a bit closer ever since their last date. It was a good thing Adonis started asking her out, they had sorted out everything that had distanced them from each other before. Even though he had not told her about who he actually was and it would be a surprise for later on, he still managed to make her trust him more and she had actually started to pu

But nothing can be changed until it is faced."-James Baldwin-***Vian waited for the man to show up to retrieve the gift and in the meantime she was busy people gazing and observing her surrounding, being in the present moment had always been quite calming for her. Instead of worrying to much about things she could not control she let her body be in the present moment. Though the serenity would not last long because soon enough she saw a familiar figure from afar.It was none other than Carson and the history repeated itself. Actually no, she never had any moments with him like this but her initial instinct was to run away as fast as possible from where she was. Her feeling was telling her to go but her legs felt like they were glued to the table floor and by the time she was able to stand up he was already approaching her.“Vian, I am glad I am finally able to meet you
