Sammy looked at Isabelle from head to toe with an intense look in his eyes. It almost felt like he was checking her out and judging from the way he was biting his lips, he really liked what he saw and didn’t even try to hide it.Isabelle held on tightly to Josh’s arm because his brother was making her very uncomfortable but at least he didn’t hate her like his sister obviously did. Isabelle had never felt this amount of pressure and awkwardness in her entire life before because this was both personal and professional for her and she didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes but still wanted to be treated with respect."What's wrong with Janet? She seems crankier than usual?" Josh asked his brother."You know how she gets whenever you come around. Mom and Dad focus all of their attention on you and everyone ignores her and well, you know the gist." Sammy said casually."So, what have you been up to Sammy? Let me guess. You bought a new car?" Josh said."I thought you said you didn't follow
"I made the documents an electronic format so I could get your signatures to give the green light for the shipment and sent it back immediately," Jennifer said."That's...pretty impressive, Jennifer," Josh said.She took out the tablet and scrolled through the pages she needed Josh to sign and after he did, she sent them back to the company and that was it."Well, it's sent so I guess I'd better get going," Jennifer said."You know what, why don't you stay and have some fun?" Josh asked."Really? I wouldn't want to intrude." Jennifer said."No, it's okay. You deserve a little break from how hard you work." He said and took a drink from a server's tray."Here you go," He said and gave the drink to her."Cheers, to a successful business deal!" Josh raised his glass and clinked it against hers....Meanwhile, Sammy and Isabelle were dancing together and she was surprisingly having a really good time. Sammy was a very graceful dancer and she had to admit that she was surprised by it."W
854 A.D..Three years after Garin's confession to Hannah about having killed those young men, things between them were back to normal.It took Hannah a while to understand what happened and understand that Garin still needed to work on being good and casting away his demonic instincts and she was ready and willing to help him through it. Her love for him was strong enough to accept his nature and she hoped it would be strong enough to change it as well.The couple were out in the river doing some chores and spending the beautiful day with each other and it indeed was a beautiful day with the way the sky was bright blue with puffy white clouds floating around.Hannah was inside the water doing some laundry while Garin was trying to catch some fish with his spear. She couldn't help but watch him splash around in the water trying to hunt their dinner and shockingly enough, he wasn't very good at fishing with a spear. Hannah was done with the laundry and all that was left was to dry t
Janet sat on her bed with a book in her hand but in all honesty, she could barely focus on the words written in it. Her mind was fixed on the fact that her little brother whom their parents preferred was in this house with them and she was certain that their mother would surely try to convince him to reconsider handling the family business before the night was over.She couldn’t sleep just thinking about it and the heavy booms of thunder accompanied by the crashing sound of lightning and heavy downpour on the roof of the house didn’t aid in helping her fall asleep in any way.Almost like he could feel her uneasiness, Sammy knocked on Janet’s door and announced that it was him.“Go away, Sammy. I don’t want to talk to anyone,” She said from the bed.”“Just open up so I can speak to you. You need someone to listen to you and I’m right here, so just let me in. I brought wine,” He said.She stood up and walked to the door and let him in, “Next time, lead with wine,” She said with a smile
Isabelle stepped out of Jennifer's room and angrily stormed away from that vicinity. She didn't know where exactly to go since Josh and his mother were still having their conversation in the bedroom so she found a spot at the top of the stairs and sat there."I can't believe that I just did that," Isabelle said to herself and put her palms over her face.She wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry because she was feeling multiple things at the same time. She had always been a rational person and didn't really like conflict or confrontation but she forgot all about that when it came to fighting for Josh. She started to realize that there was something about him that made her...more passionate about him and anything related to him. There was this fire in the pit of her stomach, put there by Josh and that fire was calm for now but it was threatening to take control and engulf anyone who tried to split her and Josh apart. She was in love with him and it didn't feel like any regular kind of l
855 ADIt had been a year since Hannah and Garin had found the baby in the river and taken him in as their child.The year had been the best year they'd had since they were cast from home to live on Earth as mortals. The baby had brought so much joy to their lives that they never knew existed. He was their everything and they had grown to love and cherish him for he was their greatest treasure and had carried a message of happiness into their whole world which was why they named him Herald.Hannah really loved being a mom. She loved holding Herald and rocking him in her arms to get him to sleep whenever he was agitated. She loved feeding him and she loved looking into his soulful eyes, she loved it when he grabbed her finger and would squeeze it so tight, she loved bathing him and singing to him at night. She loved being his mother maybe even more than she loved being an angel.Garin also loved being a father. It was the most exciting thing he'd ever done and he loved doing it. He lov
Isabelle wasn't sure if she had heard right. Josh couldn't have just said what she thought she heard him say. Why did he say her name? Was he dreaming about her? Was it a good dream? Why was Jennifer in his subconscious that he would dream about her? All these questions flooded her mind and Isabelle couldn't find an answer for them.She thought back to her confrontation with Jennifer earlier tonight and remembered when she said that she was in Josh's mind already and judging from the evidence she had sleeping beside her, it was true.Isabelle wanted to wake him up and speak to him about why he was calling Jennifer's name in his sleep but it didn't seem like a good idea because she was feeling very emotional. What was she supposed to ask him? "Why are you dreaming about your assistant?" Well, he works with the woman so it's only normal that she's on his mind sometimes but it didn't mean anything more than that, right? Isabelle didn't know for sure.Nevertheless, something needed to be
“Did we do it? Did we just break the love chain?” Gabriel asked Fawn because the way they interpreted Josh and Isabelle’s conversation was that they’d broken up.“I think so,” Fawn replied.“Oh, would you two get over yourselves?” Zarif said to the angels.“You weakened the love chain but it hasn’t been broken. Thank you for making our work a lot easier. A couple more tugs at the chain and it’ll finally break and the Devil will be victorious,” Gentel said.“If the chain were to break, victory will be God’s, not Lucifer’s,” Fawn argued.“It seems these two don’t remember what the bet was. Care to remind them, Zarif?” Gentel said.“With pleasure, sister. The bet was to see who can break the love chain and end it forever, not just weaken it. End it! End it so that Garin and Hannah would not be reborn into the next generation, end it so their love would not be rekindled in the next life, and if you think that an ordinary break-up is going to do that then you’re a lot more stupid than we t
