"The weakness of the enemy makes our strength."
-Proverb-
***
The morning his schedule was a bit more packed than usual because he would be announcing a deal which he had been working on for the past two weeks. There were a bunch of things he needed to work on and he came there earlier that day just because it helped him to get a better grasp of the situation.
Once he arrived as expected there were not many people there yet. He was able to relax a bit as he took a seat on his chair. Tamara had yet to arrive so he opened up a few folders from the previous day which were already laid out on his table. Then he went through them once more to make sure everything was perfectly fine and started working.
An hour later he heard the door being opened and he did not need to lift up his face to figure out that it was Tamara. He lifted up his face to meet hers and this time although she was dressed well like usual and had some natural

"Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping."-Oscar Wilde-***It was a bright Sunday morning and Adonis was getting ready to go out on his own because Vian had a plan with Irina which made him a bit jealous because he wished he would be the one spending time with her but he could not do much. He saw Vian getting ready from the corner of his eyes. She was standing in front of the mirror going back and forth between two dresses she was holding in her hand. One was a pleated skirt red dress while the other was a soft pink sleeveless A-line dress. Both looked stunning on her but she was being indecisive.“Adonis, which one do you think suits me well?” She eventually turned to Adonis to ask for his opinion. He was silent for a bit and eventually pointed at the pink dress.“This one suits you better since you are going out during daytime, I find the red one to be too strong, it’s more suitable

"A simple I love you means more than money."-Frank Sinatra-***Irina was smart enough to read Vian’s expression the moment she spotted Carson and knowing their history together, Irina knew right away if the two of them met there would be another set of disaster and drama. So before he could even reach them, Irina grabbed Vian’s hand and the two of them went back inside. She brought her to the ladies’ bathroom where they would hide for a bit as they waited for him to disappear. It did not take long, only lasted the two of them around ten minutes before they walked out from the bathroom and as expected they had lost him.“That was really close.” Vian breathed in relief. Her face nearly paled. She really wished to have absolutely nothing to do with him. Whenever that man was around, terrible things would happen and she was not going to let him ruin her mood.“Thank you for dragging me out

"Breakfast is everything. The beginning, the first thing. It is the mouthful that is the commitment to a new day, a continuing life."-A.A. Gill-***It was the beginning of fall and the weather had gotten a little bit colder. The streets were turning golden reddish hues and since their house was close to the park, they could see the beauty of fall at its finest each time they went to work and back. Things had been strangely serene, there were not much conflict going on. It had been a rather peaceful time for the family.Irina had not done anything unusual, Carson also mysteriously gone from Vian’s life which she really did not expect at all considering his personality, but she did not wish to overthink it and took it as a good sign. Though Adonis had been increasing his guard on her lately in fear of something bad happening, but Vian had been safe and it was all that mattered at the moment.Their grandmother had als

"Accept the terrible responsibility of life with eyes wide open."-Jordan Peterson-***The hustling and bustling in the building was more intense than usual that day. All the staffs made sure the large meeting hall was prepared for all the guests who would arrived. These people were of importance, many major investors and stakeholders would come to join the meeting. They put out a bit of time out of their busy schedule just to be there and their time was expensive so everyone had to make sure everything was perfect.Adonis arrived a bit earlier since the traffic was not so bad that day. He walked in and was greeted by the receptionist. He asked who has come and the receptionist gave a full list of all the meeting guests who had arrived in there. He went through it and thought the majority had arrived, the meeting time was scheduled for another hour so he thought he would meet up with Filippe and earned some advices from him as w

"Nobody can be as agreeable as an uninvited guest."-Kin Hubbard-***Vian was sitting in her office enjoying her work as she took her fashion brand development progress in between writing a few articles and testing different products from the companies she would review. Her mood was rather bright that day, she had finished a bunch of tasks and felt super productive. The only thing left was to check up on another grand family event. It might seem strange for ordinary people to see her family attending so many major family events but the circle she was in, such events were entirely normal and the next one she was quite excited for because the extended family members from Europe and all over the world would come to celebrate as well.Although some of them she was not exactly entirely familiar with, she always enjoyed the festivity and this time she felt even better because no one could mock Adonis for being unemployed and shamed he

"We've all got the blood in our hands. We only receive what we demand."-Jack Johnson-***Irina had just gotten back from home and she was surprised when she saw Adonis sitting in the living room. His facial expression was a bit dark, but it was not the kind derived from sorrow or anger. She took a step back when her eyes met Adonis. She was not sure why the man looked so serious but she had a bad feeling about it. She was making an attempt to walk away but before she could do so, Adonis stopped her with his words.“Stay where you are.” His voice was husky and cold. She had never heard the tone coming out from him when Vian was around but he was familiar with such tones from other men, for she had heard it before several times. She stopped in her track and turned to look at him.“What do you want? Aren’t you just waiting for Vian? I am not Vian so I wish to go back to my room right now.” She

"I wish I could give you everything you wanted. But even a good gift is a bad gift if given at the wrong time."-Tiffany Reisz-***The situation at the St Regis Houston was rather festive that evening. The Sterling had chosen the place to be their gathering area since the manor was not large enough to hold the entire family member properly and some of them who came from abroad needed a place to reside and the hotel room would accommodate just perfectly.As the main members of the sterling family, both Irina and Vian had arrived earlier along with their parents and siblings. It was one of the few time Vian could meet her other cousins, Irina’s younger twin brothers. The two early teen boys with completely distinct personalities arrived wearing matching pair of tuxedo, one wore white and the other wore black. They looked like the younger, male version of Irina however their eyes were different shades of blue, approached them

"The secret of life is knowing what you want and asking for it."-Lailah Gifty Akita-***After the party, their grandmother had to return to the hospital once more because her health had started to become unstable again. Vian thought she should go and visit her at the hospital just to pay attention. That morning she took a day off from work just to go and visit Greta and much to her surprise, Adonis stated he would also come with her to the hospital.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Vian questioned because she felt a bit uneasy letting Adonis accompany her when he had works to do, but the man gently assured her that it was fine and he would not have too much things to catch up to even if he was to go with her.“I don’t want to leave you alone too much especially during these times, Vian. As your husband I am responsible for your security and I think lately things have been a bit fragile in the f
