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.

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.

"Intentions do not insulate us from the consequences of our actions."-Jon D. Harrison-***There was always a consequence for everything.

It was supposed to be Greta’s last day at the hospital because the doctor told everyone her health was becoming better and she could go home.Life in hospital was incredibly boring because all a patient could do was to lie down on the bed and did absolutely nothing. Even with company around it could still end up being incredibly boring and the old woman felt the same way even though her first son and daughter in law, better known as Cynthia’s parents were accompanying her simply because they wanted to gain back her favor after their daughter did the unforgivable.Since Greta had disowned Cynthia, she also had somew

"Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us."-Boris Pasternak-***Everyone gathered around for Greta Sterling’s funeral. Of course, it was all mere formality and staged since no one actually cared for the old woman. It might not be shown straight to the face, but everyone secretly despised her. When she died, they all put fake facades, crying their fake tears and pretended to be good family members, but they were all just gazing each other as if they were staring at their enemies instead of family.The priest was speaking in the podium reading a few holy passages about how her soul would eventually be in heaven with the angels and all of her good deeds would be accepted by God and her legacy would forever be remembered by those around her when in reality everyone knew she was going to hell for all the pain she had inflicted upon others, not to mention all the underground dirty works she had invested in which de

They still refused to believe that Vian had become the leader of the household, considering her young age and ordinary family background, it was unlikely that she was the one chosen. The probability was so low that not even her parents were present."Once again, it is the decision of the late Madame Sterling. There is nothing I can do about it." The lawyer calmly said hoping he could just get out of there as soon as possible. The longer he stayed there the more chaos there would be.He faced Vian and handed her over a few documents she needed to sign as an official mark of her being the inheritor of the family fortune.

"Nobody deserves misery, but sometimes it's just your turn."-Unknown-***“Allow me to introduce myself properly, my name is Adonis Ravenwood Earlington, the son of Eduardus Richard Earlington.” He started. His air was slightly different from the usual Adonis, as if he had just transformed or leveled up in a game. He became a lot more charismatic.Upon the mention of the Earlington, suddenly the other members of the family gasped in shock except for Vian who did not really know who the man was, as she was never properly socialized with too much with their business networks. Yes, since she was young she was often excluded from the networking part of the family as they felt humiliated if the child was to make acquaintance with the elites.She remained silent as she did not wish to embarrass herself by lacking the knowledge to figure out who the man was but judging from the reaction of the other family members, h

"And suddenly you just know, it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."-Meister Eckhart-***It had been a little over a week since the announcement and Vian was preparing herself to move to the Earlington estate.

She had grown up in luxury so she was sure she would not be too surprised by any luxury the place had to offer, but she simply wondered how would it differ from her home.In most countries, when married it is the norm for wife to follow the husband but since she lived in the western society, things had been a bit different, perhaps for the worse because all the casual aspects in relationships were glorified. Plenty had lost respect for marriage which was truly a shame, but she was happy she was married to someone like Adonis, even though she had not found out his real identity until l
